people out of the habit of working and got people out of the habit of leaving their home and and doing all and socialising, and doing all that there's of that stuff. and there's sorts of stuff that's out with stuff that's coming out with about are failing about children who are failing to properly or failing to socialise properly or failing to socialise properly or failing to in where masks are to live in where masks are mandatory, failing to read, can't understand what people saying. you it's i don't saying. you know, it's i don't think i think politicians generally are so profoundly dumb. yeah. they don't. and they don't understand . they have don't understand. they have their own little circle. they to their own little circle. they to the the house of commons the bar in the house of commons . they and mingle and all . they mix and mingle and all that stuff. they that sort of stuff. but they truly understand what the rest of people in country of the people in this country like. have rishi sunak like. so we have rishi sunak buying like. so we have rishi sunak buyin g £50 million of taxpayers buying £50 million of taxpayers money to the criminal enterprise in, in ukraine. and we have foodbanks in the uk and i don't understand what it's a mystery to me. well, i guess, you know, his argument would be that russia has invaded ukraine and that ultimately putin must be . that ultimately putin must be. clearly, clearly, there's debate to be had there when it comes to covid. you know, i would take

the view that you're both on the right side of history. you've been very courageous up against the lockdowns. you've been called things called all sorts of things like granny yes. granny killer. yes. yes. heartless right wing, which i don't understand . why being don't understand. why being against lockdowns is right with the left being very he was out of my by bright so we they put far in front right so fred. yes very it's british. yeah. how could they come up with. oh, it's brilliant. you know , and we it's brilliant. you know, and we get we have had that lot. it's gotten better actually. it has gone a little bit i don't know about maybe you've expressed the same thing but what the grief we get is never, echoed get online is never, ever echoed on street . yeah, never. on the street. yeah, never. we've had one person come we've never had one person come up to say, i think you should so you outrageous. you should have done that. yeah. never had done that. yeah. we've never had it and we, we, we're not it once and we, we, we're not difficult find that go out difficult to find that we go out to bars and clubs or restaurants or whatever. so still , we or whatever. so we still, we hide we've never in hide away, but we've never in fact, it's always the opposite people come up. and thanks for speaking out. and also there's this was something we spoke to a

gb news welcome back to mark dolan tonight, which starts the earlier time of 8 pm. every friday and saturday we off with the people's hour in which i take your video calls and it's time for our first topic as it's been revealed that nurses will not attend accident, emergency

or care wards whilst on strike. so it begs the question the pubuc so it begs the question the public forgive their actions if patients suffer or even die. let's speak to amanda in east sussex. hi how are you? i'm very well. how are you keeping on this? chilly saturday night? it's freezing out , isn't it? it it's freezing out, isn't it? it yes, i've got my own jumper on and two pairs of socks. so it's very cold. yeah you'll need that. and you're in east sussex, which is right on the coast so it's lovely . have you on the it's lovely. have you on the program, i'm sure that medical services are over stretched in east sussex as they are across the country . do you think that the country. do you think that the country. do you think that the public hold a grudge towards nurses if they downed tools in december . i nurses if they downed tools in december. i think initially maybe not because i know that people very sympathetic, you know, that they really, really hard during the pandemic. the

thing is, though you know, we were cajoled into , clapping for were cajoled into, clapping for them every week during the pandemic. and you know, making sacrifice ourselves by staying home and many, many were too frightened to the doctors or the hospitals , you know, when they hospitals, you know, when they were becoming very, very ill. and now we're the consequences of that with excess deaths and, you know, various diagnoses that perhaps we wouldn't have seen if they'd have allowed us to carry on living normally and just locking down the and the elderly, which i truly believe that's what they should have done. so i think the thing the nurses have had a pay rise already . i think it was 4. if already. i think it was 4. if correct. yeah, that's great. so i think to be asking now . for i think to be asking now. for 17% when the rest of the country are not getting a pay rise at all from, you know, anyone , the

all from, you know, anyone, the private sector or any of the other public sector positions, they're not getting pay rises . they're not getting pay rises. and so to be asking for 17, i think is a little too much for pubuc think is a little too much for public to swallow. and think eventually if this drags through christmas and the new year and beyond, i think the public get very, very frustrated and. they will lose their support so personally i don't blame them for wanting to ask for a little bit more , you know, in terms of bit more, you know, in terms of overpaid a pay rise. but i don't believe going to ever get to percent that they're asking for and. i don't believe that that they get that either . stay where they get that either. stay where you are, amanda. let's speak now to michela , who is in elgin in, to michela, who is in elgin in, scotland. hi, michela how are you? very well. very excited to have you the show. welcome to mark dolan tonight and the people's hour. do you think the pubuc people's hour. do you think the public will forgive the nurses for going on strike, especially if suffer or even die ? well i'm

if suffer or even die? well i'm a post—market conducted . on the a post—market conducted. on the 21st of november. details three and five adults support it. the nurses taking strike action hospital the rcn requests . a pay hospital the rcn requests. a pay rise is too high so that agrees with exactly what amanda said rejecting . the government's pay rejecting. the government's pay rise 5% on average. the rcn is currently demanding the pay rise to 5% above inflation which would equate it . the 17% now the would equate it. the 17% now the health and social secretary steve barker said the rcn drew costs are around three times. what millions of people outside the public sector would typically receive and simply aren't raising the ball or

affordable . now the post—study affordable. now the post—study strongest support strikes are among younger across all age groups. 59% support strike . and groups. 59% support strike. and 24% oppose the strike . it's now 24% oppose the strike. it's now 18 to 24 year olds have the highest support it older people had much higher opposition levels to the strikes but overall 47% said the rcn suggested pay offer was too high. so again, that with what amanda has said. now, kate duxbury, who's the director, opposed the public support for strikes is strong. a strong majority. however most think pay rise is too high. majority. however most think pay rise is too high . that's rise is too high. that's detailed on the nursing website . now the rcn echoes, the ethos

with the yougov poll showing 65% of the public support staff taking strong action just although one just in two britons are now confident in the quality of care available to them on the nhs s rights and the majority. 7% nine 79% of respondents said they believed there aren't nursing staff in. the nhs s to deliver a safe patient . now deliver a safe patient. now today one in eight nursing roles in nhs in england alone , vacant in nhs in england alone, vacant and an open letter to the prime minister demanding fair pay nursing staff to protect safety has gathered over 50,000 signatures and that's on the rcn boundary. amanda, you've outlined a lot of really, really important statistics there in

relation to the nurses and their claim for a better pay . and i claim for a better pay. and i think many would agree that they do deserve a bump in their wages. but i don't remember any of these nursing unions speaking out against lock downs which cost the economy £1,000,000,000,000 which is why £1,000,000,000,000 which is why we can't £1,000,000,000,000 which is why we can't afford that pay rise. and what do you though personally, michela, because just wonder whether if patients start to suffer, the mood will change and a majority will turn against the nurses . you michela against the nurses. you michela 7 against the nurses. you michela ? 0h, against the nurses. you michela ? oh, i'm well, i think that if yes, certainly people start to die then i do think. yes, certainly people start to die then i do think . the public die then i do think. the public will perceive they turn against a strike? consider they're not happy with the fact that they're asking so much for so much and many in these statistics which have been quoted have said that

they're not the they're happy to support the strike now which is what amounted to sad but not the amount . so what amounted to sad but not the amount. so yeah that i think could balance if people start to add die or things start to go wrong. i think public opinion most definitely could be swayed against the strikes . okay, we'll against the strikes. okay, we'll have final thoughts on this one. amanda i just wonder whether the nurses sets a worrying precedent by going on strike. it will be their first strike in 106 years. yes, i think that they will be setting a bad precedent and the thing is, we already have , you thing is, we already have, you know, so many other strike going at the moment in the country this was the last thing that the country needed and especially early at christmas and the new yean early at christmas and the new year, which is basically know the start of the coldest part of the start of the coldest part of

the winter. so it's really not fair on the elderly , the fair on the elderly, the vulnerable, i don't think to be this. and, you know, the i see it is that people go into the nursing profession , they go into nursing profession, they go into it because they they should be caring about looking after first not looking after their own persons first. and i appreciate that they need to have a certain amount to be able to live and to be able to feed their own families. but when it comes to the detriment of the population that they're to be taking care of , i that they're to be taking care of, i do that they're to be taking care of , i do think that they're to be taking care of, i do think there needs to be a balance in their decision making when it comes to going on strike . okay amanda michela . strike. okay amanda michela. brilliant debate. let's the friends what they think right . friends what they think right. fred boyes the nhs faces a waiting list of 7 million people. yes we've got the winter flu crisis, covid cases up. we've got children going down with nasty infections . now is with nasty infections. now is not the time to go on strike .

not the time to go on strike. yes it's not good timing. the is the messages have been mixed . the messages have been mixed. we've seen that the nurses doing that, their videos and they're dancing . people would forget dancing. people would forget that. i thought it brilliant and all. the other thing is we see matt hancock as an example monetising his position in. we see that greed . we see rishi see that greed. we see rishi sunak. it is £400 loafers. what was and i think i think that i the feeling will be mixed it'll be on the one hand people feel that the rich are getting richer . those who are those who those who need it by society aren't being taken care of. but on the other hand, people will remember dunng other hand, people will remember during the lockdown , as you say, during the lockdown, as you say, where the unions supporting where were the unions supporting 7 where were the unions supporting ? were voices ? the ? where were the voices? the lockdowns were happening. it's a mixed message. it's the same kind of blackmail in a way that's been going the that's been going on with the rmt . yes. you know, it's the rmt. yes. you know, it's the same kind of you know, you shouldn't be striking because , shouldn't be striking because, you inconvenience. and you know, the inconvenience. and it's some it's going to cause some people might dying. i was might be dying. then what i was very really unfair

very i think it's really unfair that we haven't had come at this stage in country's life , stage in this country's life, that we haven't got to some kind of funding agreement about how you workers. yeah, i think you pay workers. yeah, i think it's really i think he's absolutely ridiculous. every year , every two years we go year, every two years we go through this ludicrous thing a strikes and then squeeze for the employer saying won't do this and then the unions say , i mean, and then the unions say, i mean, come on, guys, let's get it to you know. yeah i don't really care to inflation whatever you need to do but with essential workers if i was essential workers if i was essential worker i well key workers they were key workers. yeah exactly . were key workers. yeah exactly. i would expect to feel safe with my income, i would expect to what next year was going to bring. i wouldn't want to be continually going from hand—to—mouth, thinking about strike action and getting slagged off in the press and undermining my the role that have.i undermining my the role that have. i think we need to come up a much better system of this. i think it's completely ridiculous. it needs to look at, doesn't wider nhs. to doesn't it, as the wider nhs. to amanda and michela and the

tonight's i'd just like to say that i'm country born and bred and i actually live in cradley heath which was the place where they made the so the anchor that went on the titanic so my pedigree so i'm fine i think i think i'm hands with lady you'll see . but with the black woman see. but with the black woman and the all the questioning awkward questions that came out , i think that did a lot of damage week . yes. well, i have damage week. yes. well, i have to say i spoke to a top royal insider earlier today and he told me in confidence that lady hussey has form on this she's a bit of a bull in a china in fact he described her as a rather unpleasant but look i sure that she's not here to defend herself and her friends and family would refute that suggestion but i did get that from a well—appointed source that she has been considered of a liability in the past . but andrew stay there

past. but andrew stay there because let's speak if we can, to fergus in greenwich, who also joins us on this one. do you agree with that? there is a problem with racism in royal ranks , not for a moment. four ranks, not for a moment. four lady hussey was hung to dry. she was set up by a barbadian dressed as an african , whose dressed as an african, whose real name is english. dressed as an african, whose real name is english . and she real name is english. and she she wore this wonderful, beautiful african costume. and of course . but wow , do you come of course. but wow, do you come from now? there's a thing i remember from many years ago if you if the queen and prince philip were on a walkabout they said if you wear some star in clothes or a funny hat , they clothes or a funny hat, they will talk to you because royals are always thinking, how can i connect with this person, not just thousands in the audience in front of me. just thousands in the audience in front of me . and of course, in front of me. and of course, if somebody dresses , where does if somebody dresses, where does that from ? well, where do that come from? well, where do you come from? it a set up. it's horrible. but the thing was a

set up . well, that's that's set up. well, that's that's quite an accusation. i'm sure that the lady involved would denyit. that the lady involved would deny it . let's have fergus and deny it. let's have fergus and if we can, and we'll go back to andrew on. this one, this, of course , hot on the heels of course, hot on the heels of meghan markle's accusations , meghan markle's accusations, racism within the royal itself in relation to their then unborn child, archie , and what he might child, archie, and what he might look like when he's born. yes, i mean . the identity of that mean. the identity of that person never out, of course but that and well as the documentary that's coming out on netflix we don't know what revelations there's to be in that in that documentary something could come out of that i guess meghan markle of course as you rightly say has voiced previously about

racism within within the institute , within, within the institute, within, within the firm . i think they call these . firm. i think they call these. so, you know , going to be an so, you know, going to be an interesting one when the next leaks document area is to just see what comes out of that . see what comes out of that. andrew, if you think is a problem with racism in the royal family, how do they fix it? andrew andrew i think it's up to the king to use a good he seems to have made a good stance on this, but he he's to have to put some reforms in. i think and use this use his power to change things around he needs put the best foot forward and really stamp out these these because these incidents only come out when they come into the public domain you don't know what's happening behind closed doors . happening behind closed doors. so if there is something on behind closed doors, it needs to

come from the top downwards to try to trying clean the problem up. however fergus, you think this has been blown out proportion ? i think it's been proportion? i think it's been created deliberately . see, if created deliberately. see, if you if i'm going to do my style kissing again the ancient greeks were actual greeks or ancient athena irons and all the other greeks were called . well, greeks were called. well, they're called pagani meant people in the countryside . they people in the countryside. they were ignored. they were so far beneath the athenians. now what we've got is a royal , the we've got is a royal, the wonderful great queen who's died recently when the empire was disbanded, she said . make it disbanded, she said. make it commonwealth of nations for all the people 54 countries and there was no racism there not at all. she and philip travelled the world as has they dealt really don't even notice race . really don't even notice race. and i would have to say thank you to you and the other chap as

well. i'm half irish and half yorkshire and i've got a nigerian sister by a and a brother bond . the other mother , brother bond. the other mother, west indian. so i don't do race. i hate stuff and i can't sit the royal family at all. i really can't . okay. fascinating. very can't. okay. fascinating. very fussy about it as well . yeah, fussy about it as well. yeah, well, i think it's wonderful that you can't see race and i was hoping that our society become colour—blind until approach is like critical race theory, which is an ideology that suggests you are racist by dint of the colour of your skin, which is surely in itself a racist sentiment. boys and fergus, a fascinating debate we have richard and fred fair brass in the studio right said fred, richard , exactly. are you from richard, exactly. are you from people? yes. well, let's i mean i mean of legendary rock for my

birthday . i mean of legendary rock for my birthday. fred's i mean of legendary rock for my birthday . fred's wife i mean of legendary rock for my birthday. fred's wife , me in the birthday. fred's wife, me in the dna testing thing. right you know, where you can get your dna and i'm i am is it to do a blood test on right said fred. well probably it's not going make for personal reading is it. i hoping for something exotic , you know, for something exotic, you know, that sort of related to a russian tsar. but that sort of related to a russian tsar . but anyway, that sort of related to a russian tsar. but anyway, i'm from this i'm 22% irish from the rebellion summit, the rebellious american. carrick and we've seen a bit of rebel in you in the last couple of years. we're wondering whether that's where it comes from. i don't know. well, thing will to well, one thing i will say to andrew before he goes, take your smart off, put it in the smart metre off, put it in the throat away get a regular throat away and get a regular metre. you're not work . metre. you're they do not work. right. interesting. what do you think people being overcharged or overcharged and you or being overcharged and you have control over it? yes. have no control over it? yes. yeah oh, dear. gb newsroom my smart metre. how close is down. smart how about you ? what do you smart how about you? what do you think about this story? was it a stitch up or you think this lady

was genuinely victim of racism? i don't think she's a victim of racism. no, my wife is african half nigerian half egyptian. she gets asked on regular basis where she's from because she speaks very english. she's right as a school lover here. yeah and about 80% of our closest family members are black. poor people of colour . so they all different of colour. so they all different shades. so they view themselves also as regular. where are you from? because it's quite an interesting mix so it's not i don't think it was racism i think it's just maybe she was a bit clumsy when she did it i don't know. also this christmas when we have christmas lunch , when we have christmas lunch, the white people around the table be in the minority. to so tell us everybody else is of care. i never really just doesn't matter. i think what you've mentioned about when you mentioned chris critical race theory it's completely at odds with martin luther king and, his thing which is judge people by the content their heart that the content of their heart that their rather than their soul rather than the colour their skin . and i

colour of their skin. and i don't why we've suddenly don't know why we've suddenly backtracked this. it's backtracked on this. it's bizarre i think amen that . bizarre i think amen to that. well, thank you, boys. and thank you to andrew fergus as . you to, andrew and fergus as. well, next up, should judge people by the colour of their christmas decorations. i will debate that a woman has been trolled for too many lights, so christmas decorations tacky , christmas decorations tacky, outdated. that will catch with some of our brilliant callers .

advent last sunday, 27th of november, and it will carry to the night before christmas day . the night before christmas day. so it's the festival of light making up for this bleak midwinter, which this year is very bleak . so i'm very much in very bleak. so i'm very much in favour of everybody lighting up . her favour of everybody lighting up. her yean favour of everybody lighting up. her year, some of it be a bit tacky , but that's personal choice, isn't it and i'm not against people who want to invest . in people who want to invest. in lighting up everything i win sometimes at the cost of what they're doing in this sort of straitened times but you know come we've got to try and enjoy ourselves , not be shut down by ourselves, not be shut down by these monsters just to kill us off no christianity . let's

off no christianity. let's celebrate the birth of christ , celebrate the birth of christ, the build up to the birth of christ light with carols through advent eight. engage all our children in what is and should be a great festival . we should be a great festival. we should avoid mammon and i accept, but some of the secular sighs of christmas just got out of hand in terms of buying christmas presents and things like that . presents and things like that. but no that's just reflect it's religion. it's a great festival , all the other religion in the country respect christianity as indeed we respect divinely and other religions so talk positive let's be very yes some of it will be a bit tacky never mind that's personal choice . but i that's personal choice. but i enjoy the fact that so many

opinions. let's start with this. one the states are to police our borders and to keep law order at home. well, it's clear we're struggling on the former and outright failing on the latter with just 6% of burglaries, for example , leading to a conviction example, leading to a conviction in. england, wales, last year , in. england, wales, last year, which is why the next story symptomatic of the country at the moment a have—a—go hero who ran two burglars off the road said it was a slap in the face. he was jailed for two years. whilst walk free in part because of their injuries. whilst walk free in part because of their injuries . adam white of their injuries. adam white was jailed in february 22 months for causing serious injury by dangerous after he ran the would be burglars off the road whilst the crooks themselves were spared prison . speaking to

spared prison. speaking to mailonline, mr. white revealed how being sentenced the worst day of his life and he spoke about his agonising time in prison as well as the impact it continues to have . well a friend continues to have. well a friend of mine had a similar experience a couple of years ago . guy is a couple of years ago. guy is a pensioner and was walking down the street with a phone in his hand to scumbag mounted the pavement on a moped and grabbed hand to get the phone . what they hand to get the phone. what they didn't realise is that , although didn't realise is that, although my friend is in his seventies, he's ex isis. oh dear. they picked the wrong man as he physically resisted their efforts. the rider of the motorbike , the young criminal motorbike, the young criminal produced a blade. my friend , his produced a blade. my friend, his arm twisted it and forces detained this scamp until the police eventually arrived . what police eventually arrived. what was the first thing they did? the police questioned my friend who's had his life threatened for a mobile phone, and they

asked him why he injured the young criminal. it gets worse . young criminal. it gets worse. this young criminal whose wrist was broken . tough luck mate was was broken. tough luck mate was released with a caution . my released with a caution. my friend went to court for his so—called attack on someone that threatened kill him. rightly, the judge took look one at this one. look at this case , and he one. look at this case, and he threw it out instantly . but it threw it out instantly. but it tells you everything you need to know about how bonkers criminal justice system criminals should be afraid to break the law , to be afraid to break the law, to steal our possessions and our safety. instead they commit their crimes within impunity, knowing that unlikely to get caught. knowing that unlikely to get caught . instead, they're caught. instead, they're laughing at. meanwhile, this week the guardian's polly toynbee writes that prison doesn't work . we should somehow doesn't work. we should somehow release these people or lock fewer up . what a terrifying idea fewer up. what a terrifying idea of . course, i doubt toynbee of. course, i doubt toynbee would be by such measures. assuming she lives in a salubrious suburb of london , it

salubrious suburb of london, it would be ordinary brits that would be ordinary brits that would suffer the consequences of a more forgiving approach to crime . ordinary brits, who would crime. ordinary brits, who would afraid to leave their house for fear of being robbed or if they aren't already . we are now on aren't already. we are now on side of criminals, not the pubuc. side of criminals, not the public . we now have a culture in public. we now have a culture in which you can't put barbed wire on the fence outside your home because anybody trying to break the house could get injured by it. well, i say that if you enter my home, all my property , enter my home, all my property, you've left your human rights , you've left your human rights, the door. don't forget the story of tony martin imprisoned for shooting someone in his house. how could he possibly have known what the burglars intention was? he was protecting property and his family it was self—defence. and for that he was punished. tony blair was spot on when he said that we should be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime and tough on the causes of crime . i'm crime and tough on the causes of crime. i'm all for crime and tough on the causes of crime . i'm all for tackling the crime. i'm all for tackling the issues which can be behind

crimes, mental health , lack of crimes, mental health, lack of education, drug abuse, addiction. all of those things. but we've got clobber those wrongs too. and for the repeat offenders , throw the book at offenders, throw the book at them, lock them up and chuck away the key. the law is the law. it's time to respect it. it's time for the criminals to suffer some tough love. and if they don't like , it tough luck . they don't like, it tough luck. what's your view, mark, at gb news dot uk reacting to my big opinion monologue . our opinion monologue. our journalist and former editor of labour list peta edwards , writer labour list peta edwards, writer and wellness expert lavinia and political commentator and former adviser to boris johnson covid. ranger peter edwards , welcome ranger peter edwards, welcome back to the show. good to see you again. what's what is your of the treatment of this man jailed for effectively

apprehending burglars ? well, he apprehending burglars? well, he didn't apprehend and he ran over and he committed a crime in doing . so. now, burglary is a doing. so. now, burglary is a terribly invasive crime. and i think burglary , perhaps from think burglary, perhaps from politicians doesn't always get the attention it deserves is . the attention it deserves is. disgusting. having your home invaded stranger who might invaded by a stranger who might intimidate you and your intimidate threaten you and your family. i completely understand a distress caused. but adam, why was put on trial? he was convicted by a jury because he broke the law . i think it's broke the law. i think it's right that he the price for that. what worries , though about that. what worries, though about this and you picked up on it on monologue is that the two would be burglars did not go to prison but they had previous convictions . now i would like convictions. now i would like see burglars go to prison. full stop. when you've got previous, i think you should be going to prison a second or third or fourth crime. if it's burglary, that invasive offence , it might that invasive offence, it might sound very old fashioned. but i think whether you're a homeowner breaking the law or a burglar

breaking the law or a burglar breaking the law or a burglar breaking the law, you do pay a price for it . yeah. i think price for it. yeah. i think that's a really fair, balanced response. emily lavinia, what's your view about the balance between protecting the human rights of criminals and protecting the rights of victims of crime ? well, it's a tricky of crime? well, it's a tricky one because obviously we are at the end of the day all human. so we all deserve the same respect and the same rights. however it is quite sad that we're able to protect ourselves and. i had a similar experience recently with i was mugged and i shouldn't chased down the offender, but did and i should have just let the police handle it. but i didn't. and i luckily did get in trouble for catching the person and forcing them to give my phone back. but i was terrified i might get in trouble for that and i was just sticking up for myself. and obviously the streets are streets out there are quite frightening . know, frightening. you know, as a young woman, i like the idea that , you know, i won't be that, you know, i won't be penalised for up for myself , that, you know, i won't be penalised for up for myself, but then again, we do have police to

deal with these things. i mean, the problem you've got, emily, is that if you're in a position to restrain a criminal that's trying to commit a crime against you, risk breaking the law yourself . you do? yeah but yourself. you do? yeah but i mean in these instances as well we're thinking on our feet we're not always thinking about protecting family, our interests, ourselves we're not necessarily thinking about the law because it's game of survival. so i think it is terribly sad that this this man did go to prison. but you know , did go to prison. but you know, there is a good point. there is a law and it has to be upheld and there can't be one rule for one person and one for another. i call their ranger. i've got no doubt that you looked at the issue you boris issue of crime. when you boris johnson, as london mayor this is a concerning story , isn't it? a concerning story, isn't it? and what about the story of good friend of mine ex sars veteran who restrains a moped thief who brandishing a blade the thief gets away with caution. he gets

a court case breaking the guy's wrist in order to , i would wrist in order to, i would argue, protect his own . well, argue, protect his own. well, it's interesting. in each of these , we hear the phrase these, we hear the phrase have—a—go hero and place those people who are doing what we morally is the right thing, defending themselves , their defending themselves, their property, their home their family as being heroes. but then we see potentially law being it us and these people being penalised is they if they have broken the law, obviously that has to be taken into account . has to be taken into account. but the key issue here and are the criminals or the people who are instigating this the instigating this of incident, are they really paying the pnce? are they really paying the price? and in this instance, it's sad to that as criminals, didn't they? they were injured in the course of being knocked oven in the course of being knocked over, but they did not go to jail man , adam, who was who jail. the man, adam, who was who went to jail and it's really terrible to read what happened to him and his family for the years of suffering that had he obviously went to jail for two years but his family suffered. his wife had to have a terminal

and she pregnant because and she was pregnant because they weren't sure of what how would be able to bring up their another child. they had two children already. so there consequences. coming consequences. but i think coming back to it, blair was right back to it, tony blair was right home. secretaries need to be strong . this criminal justice strong. this criminal justice and does need to be and sentencing does need to be continuously looked so we don't end up in this situation where the isn't us and we find the law isn't us and we find burglars not going jail and those defending themselves are. peter edwards , briefly, why peter edwards, briefly, why can't we put barbed on fences around our property? why do we have to worry that a burglar might injure? normally it's himself and i've no idea. to be honest and a knife, but it's i know i come from a bit more of a left or human rights perspective on some of these. but but you have to get one for that one. i think there's a broader concern, which we've all talked about in some ways, but which is crimes happen all the time i'd imagine we've all been victim of crime one way or another, if a violent crime you have a side not paying

barbed wire the fence you have a split second to make a judgement and alluded to that and i don't think any of us could say with certainty we'd always get that judgement right. no, i think that's a fair point. at last on this. what about that this. emily, what about that guy, tony martin who shot dead a burglar that was in his house in the dead of night? i would argue he had no what the motives of that burglar might be or if he was armed . i would argue that if was armed. i would argue that if you enter property, you leave human rights at the door. i mean, i'm not sure about that because i do think that this is an issue around whether or not we should be armed as well. you know, i think someone enters your home with an intent to harm you. you should be able to defend. i'm not sure whether you should be able shoot someone , should be able shoot someone, but the problem is, even if even if you just smash ivana's over their head, you could face a couple of years clink. if that criminal his clogs. that's true. and know we often hear i know i

keep back to this but you know cases in which have been attacked in sex shelters and they've done time for trying to defend themselves against their attacker. and i think deeply, deeply wrong. so yeah, i do think you should be able to yourself. the law is nice. it's a big. and i'm no fan of a big. thank you to . my brilliant panel thank you to. my brilliant panel who return in a few minutes time. the brilliant peter edwards, emily, lavinia and, culvert, ranger coming up later in this hour in, the news agenda with my panel as , labour deputy with my panel as, labour deputy leader angela rayner filmed dancing and doing a dj set. is it wrong for politicians to publicly let their hair down? we'll show you the video. but next big question all of next in the big question all of its christmas parties, a bad idea so you surely surely .

well a big response to our debates around crime and why it

is that it seems law is often on the side of criminals victims. this from richard's at mark macarena police are doing a great job giving . cups of tea to great job giving. cups of tea to climate protesters themselves to the road burglar ray who cares about that ? says richard martin. about that? says richard martin. says, mark, i've served the police service for almost 49 years. 32 as a warranted officer and latterly a member of police staff. this service is more about the woke world than it is about the woke world than it is about being serious in dealing with criminal, about being serious in dealing with criminal , let's say, the with criminal, let's say, the criminal justice system does not support the victim. and after almost decades, i would never advise anyone to trust the police to do the right thing society now has a police service that supports the criminals and not the victims crime. perhaps police leadership should join it. matlock. matt hancock , i it. matlock. matt hancock, i should say in the jungle , thank should say in the jungle, thank you very much for that . martin you very much for that. martin ed says this rot with the police

starts at police training college with work indoctrination going back years the making with previous governments , labour and previous governments, labour and tory have—a—go heroes wane mark people are missing a trick chase retrieve your items and forgets about the police deal with it . about the police deal with it. it works, says andrew. hi again, mark we need to change the law or . advise the courts or. advise the courts differently and perhaps say that if enter someone's home or threaten someone, then that can be undone known. circumstances and last but not least from bill in glasgow. hi bill, thanks for your email mark@gbnews.uk. hi, mark. i'm nearly 80 years old and i can assure you that if anyone broke into my house i would knock their head off bill. i've got no doubt about that thank you so much for joining i've got no doubt about that thank you so much forjoining us and do keep those emails coming mark@gbnews.uk it's time now for this . well it's time now for the

this. well it's time now for the big question which we tackle a major news story of the day one of the great aspects of christmas look forward to is the office party or is after two years of lockdown. have we forgotten art of socialising with our colleagues . and is it with our colleagues. and is it dangerous to get drunk with the boss given . the fact that you boss given. the fact that you might do or say the wrong thing . with alcohol fuelled high jinks and potentially naughty goings on sexually . plus the goings on sexually. plus the enormous cost of office parties. more trouble than they're worth . should business and pleasure be kept separate at christmas . be kept separate at christmas. well i'm delighted to welcome joe hemmings to discuss this. joe hemmings to discuss this. joe is a leading behavioural psychologist. joe the office christmas party is asking for trouble. yes, absolutely. i'll take the trouble . i mean, it's take the trouble. i mean, it's not just the mixing business pleasure, but the point of a party is be able to let your hair down, have a good time, not

be judged, whatever you do. and if you've got to put work in that mix plus booze , how could that mix plus booze, how could it not go wrong if you're having a good time ? so it's sort of a good time? so it's sort of a conflict of interest from the get go. don't want to policy if you're with colleagues all at the same level and you're going out together i think quite nice but once you start mixing the levels in the to me it is just you . yeah. if you can avoid you. yeah. if you can avoid trouble be a great thing. so. well yes. but that's, that's the isn't it joe. the simmering office politics can come to a head plus. sexual and we know the catch phrase of industry. don't screw the crew and that's the that's the issue and of course the biggest problem is alcohol isn't it yes. really big . of course, you're a bit anxious. you got make small talk about people. you probably don't want much to do with other than you'll stay working . so you're you'll stay working. so you're probably going to have a bit more to drink because it's and

you were a little bit sort of nervous about it or you're that bothered that the fact it's quite videoed or photographed i mean kind of no escape there's a record it either in your mind or on somebody else's phone and this something that didn't come out so that you can't go to office politics business all like wow that was amazing i did so well i'm going to get on my job tomorrow i'm pretty good, more confident, more powerful , more confident, more powerful, more confident, more powerful, more it's not well . more ambitious. it's not well. no, it's not. and the worse thing is the office christmas party in the office, because you know what's going to happen by 2 am? someone's arse is on the a.m? someone's arse is on the photocopier. yeah, that's the one. so someone said i'm going keyboard whatever. and who's the clue that, that rubbish up. no i'm going. it's, it's true about it. i did some research a few years ago and it was 75% of people said they dreaded the office policy. and i'm surprised how low it was because if you ever hear somebody stories about christmas parties , they sort of

christmas parties, they sort of never get that memorable, but not necessary for the right reasons. and it's one of the great things about being self—employed. i don't have to go to a christmas party, people sort to them. they sort of like to go to them. they should if they don't go, it'll be upon . so if go to be frowned upon. so if you go to an that you don't want to an event that you don't want to go to, you feel obliged to go to dnnk go to, you feel obliged to go to drink much make an act drink too much might make an act of yourself quite. you know that combo is never going to swell. i'm not a party pooper. i love a party. just not on office. well, i think i not say i think a big old lunch for the team is the way to go. then if you want to have a few drinks later, as you mentioned, with department or colleagues, that might be an opfion colleagues, that might be an option . joe, colleagues, that might be an option .joe, let's colleagues, that might be an option . joe, let's bring colleagues, that might be an option .joe, let's bring my option. joe, let's bring in my brilliant because they're all veterans office parties former editor of labour list the brilliant journalist peter edwards writer and wellness expert emily lavinia and political commentator and former adviser to boris johnson called the arranger and cover your former knows all about work

parties . well i was mentioning parties. well i was mentioning actually earlier parties at city and i do remember christmas being particularly challenging because you had five or 600 people in city hall all coming together . and the point that joe together. and the point that joe makes about departments all shift you know everyone forgets that to talk to senior people about mary and they haven't had to be able express their opinion too in the way they want to filled with a bit of alcohol so i think they are dangerous i think events are great i think the challenge for the boss as well because know that if you're the senior person , everyone else the senior person, everyone else tends to not be able to relax while you're around . you don't while you're around. you don't want be a party pooper . so want to be a party pooper. so i think few a few amongst think a few a few amongst colleagues, team—mates colleagues, amongst team—mates it can be can be good fun . but i it can be can be good fun. but i did go to a parent's party last night, which is interesting. first time in years that i've actually been out my wife. actually been out with my wife. and was surprising following and it was surprising following day been suffering, but day i have been suffering, but to that video footage of me

to see that video footage of me throwing some shapes and really brought it all back home, that yes be records of yes is going to be records of this wherever . go party this wherever. you go any party nowadays i pay good money to watch that tape. we might broadcast it on the show on a future occasion . edwards you've future occasion. edwards you've been to a few parties in your time . yeah, my former life in time. yeah, my former life in newspaper journalism. that was always pretty clever . well, you always pretty clever. well, you know, they're perhaps more organisations covered as it was than five, 600 people, but they're always fun. so i they're always good fun. so i think i'll defend the christmas the christmas party perhaps the work christmas party perhaps now more than given the now more than ever, given the years have and have , we years covid we have and have, we know that covid is still with us, there a case us, but i think there is a case for christmas party. or maybe for a christmas party. or maybe we've all got show up every. for a christmas party. or maybe we'\i all got show up every. for a christmas party. or maybe we'\i did got show up every. for a christmas party. or maybe we'\i did actuallyhow up every. for a christmas party. or maybe we'\i did actually like up every. for a christmas party. or maybe we'\i did actually like youryery. but i did actually like your kind of alternative option as well , you know, like kind of alternative option as well, you know, like work well, you know, like a work lunch, know , paid and lunch, you know, paid for. and then want to then the people that want to carry going and have a bit more of a head and stick straight can, go for it. and those who just want go home, take the afternoon spend time afternoon off, spend some time with they've with the family. but they've a ready to , make excuses. and

ready way to, make excuses. and so i thought your your kind of lunchtime christmas meal was quite a idea. yeah i think cool there and i be sticking around for drinks maybe watch for a few drinks maybe watch a bit tottenham that kind of thing . let's ask emily now. emily, you are a wellness expert as well as a writer and journalist. it's great for wellness. the old office party, is it? i mean listen especially romantically. we're talking about those simmering passions , those which simmering passions, those which come to a head over photocopier . i mean, you say it's not good for wellbeing. there is a lot to be said for , office morale and be said for, office morale and you know , and enabling people to you know, and enabling people to themselves and be themselves at work . we often have to be quite work. we often have to be quite divisive . our personalities, we divisive. our personalities, we have work self and we have our our social self. but these days i think it is quite to express and to be who you are . with that and to be who you are. with that said, i do think exercise restraint is very, very important as everyone on the

panel has said. but how do you do that when you've had three bottles of jacob jacob's creek? thatis bottles of jacob jacob's creek? that is a good point. a good point. well i think it point. well made. i think it also depends on company culture not party is going to be not every party is going to be like wait on you know every like wait on you know not every is going to be as well stocked. perhaps but yeah, i think there's a lot to be said for coming together around christmas and how that can make you feel as a team . emily what the sex as a team. emily what the sex side of things because i've got another revelation. i had a revelation about susan hussey earlier , which i've got to say earlier, which i've got to say one of my lovely viewers , ian, one of my lovely viewers, ian, is not happy about. he thinks i've besmirched the reputation . i've besmirched the reputation. lady hussey who are insider tells me, is something of an upstart. i've got another revelation for you, which is the national christmas policy of a national newspaper last year endedin national newspaper last year ended in it wasn't just drunk and vomiting, but there were some shagging going on as well. so is a real problem, isn't it,

at these parties, emily? i it can be. and i also think, you know, we hear time and again about abuses of power and about finding themselves in situation where they think they can maybe get away with something that they know they shouldn't do . they know they shouldn't do. again, creates kinds of again, creates all kinds of issues and as we know , you know, issues and as we know, you know, yes, we should be bringing to work, not just our professional side , but we should also have side, but we should also have utmost respect our colleagues and treat them as human beings. so situation in you know, it so no situation in you know, it doesn't matter how. many glasses of wine you've had if something seems it's not a good idea seems like it's not a good idea it isn't. no i mean, it probably isn't. no i mean, listen, i've got so many wars as well. i was at a media party ago and a page got pregnant at an office christmas party. that was quite the drama. let me you what happens if you wake up next to steve and accounts or debbie from sales sales . and if you've from sales sales. and if you've got yourself pregnant you're

yeah you're . have a hangover yeah you're. have a hangover a deeply embarrassed everybody knows mean god forbid these people might have so you call it doing a double with with their relationship your own relationship your own relationship is like a tinderbox sexually because you know there is someone you might fancy and you've kind of had a bit of a fantasy about and then you've had a few drinks and you're kind of over some tragic of smooching over some tragic love song christmas on the dance floor and off you go. so it's just dangerous. i'm listening to your panel talking the word restraint associate with the restraint in associate with the word party. okay so these two kind of get a good bedfellows because the whole point of a party is be pretty unrestrained . and i know that that is going to be good. the unsafe , trusted to be good. the unsafe, trusted company of good friends, i don't think that's possible under work policy . so it just doesn't feel policy. so it just doesn't feel that it's you can only options there because it's meant to bond

people however i think it's that's a bit counterintuitive think it's more divisive than bonding but listen i'd to go out for a beer with you joe it's been a really fun chats behavioural joe hemmings thanks for your time and thanks to my panel as well. well we put the vote to the great british public. we in an exclusive gb news poll our office christmas . news poll our office christmas. a bad idea for. news poll our office christmas. a bad idea for . 80% said yes, a bad idea for. 80% said yes, but 60% said no. go and have a beer with your colleagues. brilliant great debate. that was . coming up, we've got the papers at 1030 with a sneak peek at 1020 in the company of nigel nelson from the sun . also we've nelson from the sun. also we've got my take at ten in which i'll be talking a woke group who want to cancel because it's not inclusive . but next as labour inclusive. but next as labour deputy leader angela rayner is filmed and doing a deejay set. is it wrong for politicians to publicly let their hair down? we've got the video and we'll it

to you .

next welcome back to mark dolan tonight . angela rayner has gone tonight. angela rayner has gone viral today as she shows off dance moves at a charity deejay battle. take a look at the deputy leader of the party in action last night in manchester. blustery .

well, there you go that was entrance and odie love set you free. well, diane hodges , the free. well, diane hodges, the journalist from the mail on sunday was not impressed. he tweeted the following. he said, i like angela labour, need to realise they've now got their best chance of forming government for over a decade . government for over a decade. and that's involves convincing people who have doubts that they're serious people with a serious plan for leading the country. so is it wrong for politicians to let hair down in public? does it give wrong impression? emily . public? does it give wrong impression? emily. i i think that angela whole thing is that, you know, she's one of the lads and enjoy that about her and that's much her schtick. but i would also argue that people love boris and boris clearly love boris and boris clearly love to party too. so i don't know that it's a bad thing because enough people, you know, have embraced boris and loved what he's done for the country . what he's done for the country. some people disagree with that, but yeah, i think the end the but yeah, i think at the end the day obviously you have to set example, but they also human beings hodges previous

beings at dan hodges previous a labour supporter would just suggest that the optics of that video aren't cool at video aren't cool they're at a time of national economic crisis and we were talking about christmas parties earlier. and, you know, this is a time when people going their hair people going to let their hair down. letting her hair down. angela's letting her hair down, she's showing her human side, told often side, we're told often politicians and politicians don't look human and as says, she has as emily says, she has a personal that's well known. so i think she's in to her time on brand. she's on bread. she's on brand. she's on bread. she's on brand angela. and i think that's great. i saw earlier week she was co—hosting political cartoon of the year awards with . jacob of the year awards with. jacob rees—mogg, what a pair were on stage so and rees—mogg . so i stage so and rees—mogg. so i hope get cancelled for that yeah i'm not commenting that one. so she, she , i think it's right for she, she, i think it's right for her but it has to be done in the context of they are going to be seen leaders and we all have that role whichever you know if you're leading a team, if you're in a business or working moment, if lose that that sense of

if you lose that that sense of well you are a serious person and it doesn't fit into the natural character that you're then i think you have a problem, but don't angela has but i don't think angela has a problem that. the only problem doing that. the only issue is where the issue i have is where was the final and looked all final angela and looked all really as a student really digital as a student absent lately. right. you're old school aren't you . of course, school aren't you. of course, peter. the reason i made remark about her, they call harsh about her, they call it harsh because in an because she mentioned in an interview about her breast interview about her her breast augmentation . so she's all out augmentation. so she's all out there in every sense of the word . angela is her a win .angela's angela is her a win or a fail for labour? well, i hadnt or a fail for labour? well, i hadn't actually seen that story about decolletage, but now i it's fine. and i think how many points in scrabble get for points in scrabble do i get for decolletage? you think? quite decolletage? do you think? quite a brazilian women in terms a few brazilian women in terms of deejaying? no, i think it is all harmless . i think one the all harmless. i think one the pubuc all harmless. i think one the public like politicians remind themselves, remember you know, go back few years. david cameron houday go back few years. david cameron holiday was quite happy to be photographed on the beach looking pink at some bird looking quite pink at some bird raising the sun . and he was raising the sun. and he was awfully associated with the word chillaxing. likes to chillaxing. everyone likes to relax different ways. and as

kofi said , is authentic. kofi said, is authentic. you know, if had been gordon brown, it wouldn't quite rang true it wouldn't have quite rang true because different in because we're all different in our downtown. ultimately, angela enjoying it. it's genuine . and enjoying it. it's genuine. and you know, the it was for a charity, right . and that's the charity, right. and that's the ultimate defence, isn't it ? you ultimate defence, isn't it? you know, your you're old enough to remember smashing. i see two fictional dangers she's got to play fictional dangers she's got to play the defence is for charity . yeah, well i impersonate them every me tell you . you every night let me tell you. you know angela, don't you kind of. yeah.i know angela, don't you kind of. yeah. i mean, i've got a lot of respect for her, i couldn't respect for her, but i couldn't say. what do you. do say. well, what do you. what do you make her as political you make of her as a political because she's the because i mean, she's one of the best known, high profile in best known, most high profile in the she seems have cut the country. she seems have cut through with the public and always does well when she stands for in starmer at pmqs, which make persuasive leader , i make a more persuasive leader, i think. starmer's doing very think. keir starmer's doing very well and if he's elected to downing street and says long time and then has pattern over one day, she definitely she's got a bit more about her than the keir she's more boris than carer's isn't she? she's

arguably a in the mould of boris . i think she is perhaps a populist. i think personality. i think she's got a great sense of personal responsibility. but actually thing at least labour folk that i know is you've got mix of styles. keir starmer sensible. we probably see him on the dance floor . uh, angela the dance floor. uh, angela didn't have additional education, acute and pragmatic in a different clearly not stupid but she's more out there in the way she speaks. so i think if i could mix it, what do you think of rayner? do you think she's got bright political future and we're talking her aren't we. i i do. i love aren't we. i mean i do. i love how straight talking she and i completely agree. i think she is a really partner to kids very straight down the line, you know , human rights background , , human rights background, persona. i think they make very formidable team. and i do think she is a serious person even though she has this kind of fun side to her where she is very authentic and real. i wonder if we're giving her an easy ride.

covid this is somebody that wants be the deputy prime wants to be the deputy prime minister this she minister of this country. she called scum . she called conservatives, scum. she can be quite unguarded in her comments and in behaviour. yes, i was going to say i don't necessarily agree with a lot of the things she says on the policy side or how she of policy side or how she some of those but is giving those opinion. but is giving a voice to a community of people on the labour side that to hear from her and hear that sort of that sort of message. but i think she's also playing the john prescott card. she is effective believe the mother ginger prescott isn't she well yes potentially you know there are two jags but but he you know there's a need for labour to have that broad church that broad elements of voices and she's playing that role at the moment she has indeed got two jags i've seen the photos . let's jags i've seen the photos. let's get your views on that . get your views on that. gbnews.uk i'll get to your emails shortly. but next up, the queen of us showbiz and political reporting, kinsey .

children's education. they had to like pull her out of the building because she was loving on everybody taking photos she's just so personable and everybody was so excited to see her multiple helicopters in the sky hundreds of people waiting to see them and get their photos. so it was a great it was a really good, positive experience . i'm pleased to hear that . how . i'm pleased to hear that. how well reported was this royal race drama involving the queen's former lady in waiting lady susan hussey ? it was very you . susan hussey? it was very you. it was pretty prevalent out here in what think is really unfair is that every story included words that lady susan hussey is william's godmother because we're not saying every we talk about prince andrew jeffrey epstein we are not saying that that's prince harry's god . you that's prince harry's god. you know . but yeah, it is that's prince harry's god. you know. but yeah, it is a big story over here and i'm i'm

upset over it. i mean know for a fact that lady hussey she's 83 years old she has hearing issues so you know i think she was getting because the communique wasn't you know smooth and i don't think she's a racist and i hate the fact she's having to dodge conversations this. yes i a top royal insider told me this morning exclusively in confidence that the lady susan hussey is a bit of an upstart quite hard work has previous but he did not say that she was a racist in the end this one will blow over. i think a shame that she had to stand down and i'm sure our late great queen would not be happy. neither would prince . and about the other prince. and what about the other couple making and harry have comparisons made in the united states in the last day or two between both royal couples ? between both royal couples?

absolutely and, you know, i do think people that are not necessarily religious royal watchers notice the fact that harry and meghan to drop the trailer , not only invictus trailer, not only invictus dunng trailer, not only invictus during harry and william's america visit, but their new netflix documentary words seeing repeated are , desperate, repeated are, desperate, pathetic , embarrassing . i mean, pathetic, embarrassing. i mean, people are really starting turn on the sussexes in the states because they're seeing them for who they and you know this they look bitter yeah they look bitter indeed i think it's a very bad look for the couple. can you tell us about revelations around hunter biden and his laptop he of course being joe biden's son and is a revelation published by the new owner of twitter elon musk. what's going on mark you and have been talking about this story for at least a year now. i mean, often we've talked about this hunt and when we started to

talk about it was kind of iffy. we didn't want be in the theory zone. we didn't to look like we were just a fit because we weren't getting our way . it was weren't getting our way. it was a very delicate story, but the of the matter is twitter blocked this story from being distributed on its social media network, blocked this story from being distributed in direct messages in private direct suspended users including donald trump spokes person for trying to share this story this is a total breach of ethics. i mean where are where are your morals in, your values and in elon musk actually these behind the scenes conversations of people trying to justify blocking the story where they claimed that this information was a obtained hacked no no the guy got messed up and accidentally left his laptop at a repair shop. this was not illegally obtained

hunter biden is just idiot so a really interesting story i just think it goes to show we really cannot trust these media outlets with our information we're giving them a lot of it for free and we really need to re—evaluate our relationship with social. we do well very, very briefly. what is to have been on hunter biden's laptop is to understand what might have been on it is so revelatory and so scandalous. if been on it is so revelatory and so scandalous . if the news had so scandalous. if the news had come out , joe biden might not come out, joe biden might not have won presidential election . have won presidential election. i mean, absolutely. i mean joe biden in relationships with foreign governments and foreign businesses where there is a financial relationship between joe biden and hunter biden . the joe biden and hunter biden. the only reason that financial relationship exists is because joe biden can do things in governance meant to help these to people that you know that are out of country very salacious

photos of hunter with women and hunter hunter drugs. i mean it is a cesspool of sin if i'm being completely honest and not a great reflection on the biden . yes i mean it's bad it's obviously not as bad as my laptop which is why i'll never be getting that repaired at pc world. and on that salacious note kinsey brilliant stuff . note kinsey brilliant stuff. free speech has been restored to . twitter and it always existed here on gb news and it's always a thrill to see you exercise it . brilliant. kinsey schofield back from boston. having met the prince and princess of wales, do check out her brilliant royal website to , die for daily. no website to, die for daily. no doubt she'll be up that experience on the website shortly. the brilliant kinsey schofield always the highlights of the weekend lots more to in my take it ten the woke pressure group who want to cancel christmas because not inclusive i kid you not no pulling my cracker we'll discuss that next class tomorrow's in the company

it. ten bah humbug. wales online report that a group that works with organisations on issues diversity and says may be time to cancel christmas. the call comes new statistics showed that less than half of the population of england or wales describe themselves as christian in the 2021 census. the groups that from november onwards decorations in town centres are the advertising on all televisions . the constant emails televisions. the constant emails from retailers all imply that everyone will be celebrating on december the 25th, but they say that many feel left out and excluded from the celebrations whilst their own religious festivals are ignored and many feel under pressure to spend large amounts of money for no real reason . now i love real reason. now i love diversity. i think it's the best

thing about this country. britain is the most integrated society in the world. it's a global beacon of, society in the world. it's a global beacon of , diversity, global beacon of, diversity, assimilation and inclusion. inclusion does not mean the substitute mission of our traditions values for someone else's . although few people else's. although few people still attend church, britain is , ultimately a christian country which celebrates occasions christmas and easter. it's why we love it . and it's why the we love it. and it's why the people that come from elsewhere to make their lives here love it too. to cancel christmas in britain would be like cancelling the wonderful festival of diwali in india or the chinese year in china . and i can't imagine that china. and i can't imagine that these diverse groups in this country are seeking to cancel christmas . most jewish people, christmas. most jewish people, hindu , muslim people, you name hindu, muslim people, you name it whilst not necessarily celebrating in a formally christian way generally

participate in one way or another, whether it's the exchange of gifts, the office secret santa some tinsel around the tree or just meeting up with friends and family because christmas is not a one size fits all occasion. it's wonderfully flexible and terms of what you do on the 25th, it's very much to their own , but it's a time of to their own, but it's a time of year when we celebrate and when we have fun . and it's typical of we have fun. and it's typical of this tedious self—loathing brits and hating woke to try to suck j'oy and hating woke to try to suck joy out of what is for most people the very best time of the year and something to which we all look forward. and i can't think of a time we've needed the joy think of a time we've needed the joy of christmas any than right now. after last couple of years that we've had post—pandemic. this is a moment when families feel safe enough to get together again , having been torn apart, again, having been torn apart, due covid. so if you think you're going to cancel christmas , think again. no one is pulling my cracker . i can't bear the my cracker. i can't bear the

watery down of this great occasion which politicians and are increasingly guilty of doing. i had a wonderful tradition of buying favourite tea from a certain supermarket it. it was in a red box and. it was called christmas tea. it was christmas teabags. i know what the hell difference it was between christmas tea and normal tea. say actually tasted the same . but i like the fact that same. but i like the fact that it had the word christmas on the box. but a couple of years ago they changed it to festive tea. so it's not christmas tea anymore. spoiling all the fun you might think i'm overreacting. it might seem minor, but it's an example how this wonderful occasion is slowly being airbrushed away by. people who either don't like christmas or are even ashamed of it as they are of britain . its it as they are of britain. its history, like millions across the country from all backgrounds , cultures, races and creeds. i will be celebrating christmas. big time. there will be santa . big time. there will be santa. there will be a christmas tree

that will tinsel. there will be fairy . and i won't let any fairy. and i won't let any miserable scrooges stop . i will miserable scrooges stop. i will even my balls out . even my balls out. why? my balls are quite bouncy . why? my balls are quite bouncy. holly, what did you call them earlier ? something of steel ball earlier? something of steel ball balls of steel that you get now that well, it survive. yeah, they're pretty sturdy. there you go. brilliant stuff . what do we go. brilliant stuff. what do we think? let's get the views now of my wonderful panel. we peter edwards . we have emily, lavinia edwards. we have emily, lavinia and have curvy arranger cuvier. what do you think those joyless woke cranks are trying cancel christmas. well, i think you're putting some joy back in just watching your balls bounce around. the studio floor has been interesting and fun been quite interesting and fun for look , it always

for me. but look, it always feels people are to take feels that people are to take the fun and the joy out of things they're trying to things when they're trying to take from cultural take away from cultural celebrations christmas celebrations like christmas christmas is a fundamental part of this country, of britain, of the culture that we all share for those us who come from different backgrounds. but i've been born brought up in been born and brought up in london huge part . london christmas, a huge part. my family's life . i my life, my family's life. i don't want to see it changed , don't want to see it changed, look to celebrate it. and i've seen this country embrace celebrations. as you mentioned, you with sakhi diwali , with you with sakhi diwali, with celebrating all kinds of things . it's actually about celebrating, not stopping. so i think we have to be actually what we're trying to do here is celebrate , bring people celebrate, bring people together, especially family together, especially the family point made. and i think point that you made. and i think fundamental that wants fundamental if that group wants to try and cancel christmas, i'll like to see them try and stop all those christmas songs that are played. and if they do manage it, maybe if they just take christmas because take last christmas out because i'm that one, but i'll i'm up with that one, but i'll keep christmas. keep all the other christmas. yes. cool christmas yes. i mean, cool christmas won't be about birth of christ. too many who aren't christians

any more . and to many brits who any more. and to many brits who come from different cultures and their family lives may emanate from caribbean or from asia , you from caribbean or from asia, you name it. but i don't think that these wonderful, diverse groups that make up the rich fabric of our society would seek to cancel christmas either. not. not at all, my son. only this week took part in the nativity play and merry but know but too so it's not just a celebration holiday. there is history. not just a celebration holiday. there is history . there not just a celebration holiday. there is history. there is religion and there's understanding and people's of other cultures brings , people other cultures brings, people together. it makes us stronger. we shouldn't look to forget these things . we shouldn't try these things. we shouldn't try to airbrush them out. we shouldn't like shouldn't try to not feel like we're to insult people or. it's going to, you know, be something that they're going to take offence by by christmas. no, we celebrate it and we should recognise and we should remember what it stands emily am i what it stands for. emily am i overreacting to the fact that a

certain used to sell certain supermarket used to sell christmas tea in a lovely red box and i just the reason i bought christmas tea is bought this christmas tea is because would probably late because it would probably late november early. early december. and i'm thinking, this is fantastic signifies fantastic. know this signifies the beginning of the season and now it's festive and it just doesn't the same to doesn't have the same ring to it. a massive it. well, i'm a massive christmas . i it. well, i'm a massive christmas. i love it. well, i'm a massive christmas . i love christmas. and christmas. i love christmas. and everyone that knows knows everyone that knows me, knows i'm obsessed it. but also i'm obsessed with it. but i also think doesn't matter think it doesn't really matter what have always what you call humans have always had winter . we have always had had a winter. we have always had that since the dawn of time , that since the dawn of time, whether it was pagan or whether it was an ancient tradition. then another, whatever you call it, we've had this time of year where come together we put up where we come together we put up decorations , make ourselves feel decorations, make ourselves feel more joyful because a very cold time year , we're celebrating time of year, we're celebrating the the year , the the death of the old year, the birth the new one coming, birth of the new one coming, whatever religion you are, wherever you are, we're going to celebrate that . i do think that celebrate that. i do think that , of course, no one wants to cancel that, but i don't think it really matters what you call it really matters what you call it whether or not you

it either and whether or not you are different are from a different denomination , whether you denomination or, whether you celebrate, you know, other holidays and other festivals, you lean in. i think it is you can lean in. i think it is quite secular. anyone can celebrate it and. it is a great festival. i hear what you're saying i think that saying emily, but i think that as language shapes as orwell said, language shapes thought, and i think it does matter what you call it, because i think if you stop calling it christmas, effectively erase christmas, effectively erase christmas , you erase that christmas, you erase that history, you the message . i history, you the message. i mean, i wouldn't seek to rename diwali or the chinese new year or hanukkah . yeah. i mean you do or hanukkah. yeah. i mean you do make a very good point. and you know, christmas is also that certain people have started celebrating a certain points and have stopped celebrating that other. we know now that fewer people are going to church and maybe for a lot of people, it's not about the birth of christ andifs not about the birth of christ and it's more about getting family together and exchanging presents. however presents. so i think, however you hold christmas in your heart, as they say in the christmas that's what's christmas carol, that's what's important but emily, there

important. but emily, is there anything than that american expression happy holidays. yeah it is annoying, isn't it? i mean, i always say christmas, but there are each their own. peta, what's your view on this? well, i thought coffee made a number of good points so i'm christian and i'll be celebrating christmas and i live in london , which is one of in east london, which is one of the diverse parts of uk the most diverse parts of the uk and i've met anyone, any and i've never met anyone, any culture who's a the prospect of either themselves, of other people celebrate christmas and i think is said you know british culture has adapted and is open enough and inflexible enough . enough and inflexible enough. people from all backgrounds can mark christmas now, but people like me that might be in a religious way for other people, it might be getting together with family, having a time of work or a time of remembrance, perhaps loved ones . you're perhaps for loved ones. you're not anymore. and think not here anymore. and i think i think me , you know, i know think to me, you know, i know christian books are perhaps best because i've lived in britain, you know, all my life . it is you know, all my life. it is very flexible and it is very

open. but it has a it has adapted . we've got lots of adapted. we've got lots of things that come of christian culture, like school and churches and food banks and hospitals but the fundamentals that education and family and coming together and then looking upwards at certain of the year are seen across all major face. do you think peter, that this a subtle dilution of british values is it a britain hating gesture. no not no don't think it is and there was a bit of a wry smile on my face as you went for your monologue, because there's often a story like this every year, and one normally associates it with them local government, national government, some national guidelines telling schoolkids they're not allowed to celebrate christmas pops up in the christmas and it pops up in the daily it it was slightly daily it was it was slightly different this year i think it was a it was woke group in was a it was a woke group in wales as you call them. but chris christmas is it is in danger of being cancelled just like diwali and hanukkah and ramadan. we now in danger of

being cancelled, now fascinates in conversation, what's your view about the idea that christmas ought to be changed post got rid of or just adapted in order to be more let me know your thoughts. this show is a broadchurch no pun intended, so whatever you think , drop me a whatever you think, drop me a line. mark at gb news dot uk next up, we'll be joined by the longest serving editor in the country, nigel nelson from the sunday mirror and sunday people and we've got a first look at tomorrow's papers see shortly .

and we'll bring you, of course, to round up at 1030 with uninterrupted reaction . but uninterrupted reaction. but first, let's the views of the longest serving political editor in the country nigel nelson, who's the political of both the sunday paper and the sunday mirror . sunday paper and the sunday mirror. great to sunday paper and the sunday mirror . great to see you, sunday paper and the sunday mirror. great to see you, nigel. nigel, before we get to the papers, what do you think about cancel and christmas i should be celebrating christmas i mean there's no about that i object to those christmas cards have the you know happy festive season in the or enjoy the holidays or something like that i mean christmas is christmas don't think we need to change the name and i'm sure most people won't anyway . am i people won't anyway. am i overdoing . yeah, just a shade . overdoing. yeah, just a shade. i've never done it. i tell you what it will do. we better get to some hard politics. let's have a look at the mirror, which

i understand. nigel just put to bed.so i understand. nigel just put to bed. so let's have a look at front page of one of my favourite sunday lists and the sunday mirror match of the day lion is sunday mirror match of the day lion i s £2 in crunch world cup lion is £2 in crunch world cup game . of course they're playing game. of course they're playing senegal al and they do hope victory we will be by the way on straight after the game and we've got big sam allardyce reacting that so do join us at nine which is straight after the game who needs gary lineker when you got big marky dolan also harry and meghan tv warning utterly explosive the royal family has been warned brace themselves for a tv that could divide the nation harry and meghan's series is due week it's expected to be explosive and very damaging according to a top insider sunday people which is nigel saw the paper fallout william or harry the public will have to choose and we kane millions ready for the lions to

roll and last but not least for now , the sunday telegraph now, the sunday telegraph pharmacy's in to break nhs strike chemists be given powers to hand out as health workers walk off the job. also quango bosses tors with anti—trans claim. a senior figure at britain's biggest arts quango branded a gay and lesbian charity divide seven anti—trans days before its funding was withdrawn sean ban albanians from claiming asylum says a top minister. that's the immigration minister. that's the immigration ministerjenrick minister. that's the immigration minister jenrick and minister. that's the immigration ministerjenrick and kate and pitted against each other in series lots stories to get through and. look it's very clear what the big story is to the sunday mirror and it is that dog entry and that royal couple nigel. yes indeed . and i think nigel. yes indeed. and i think that what you've got is too big events coming up this week . the events coming up this week. the first is going to be tomorrow

with england versus senegal , with england versus senegal, 7:00. and the second one will be thursday. we think it's thursday anyway. when prince harry's netflix series begins , what netflix series begins, what we're hearing is there's going to be a lot more worrying to royal family than even they thought. we that prince william has come back from america for crisis talks with the king about this. they're going to actually decide how they're going to approach this depending what harry and meghan's plans. question really, i think here at the moment, especially as we've got new king is whether or not he's just damaging to the royal family, which i don't think is quite so important or actually damaging to the monarchy . i damaging to the monarchy. i think kate and that will obviously be the concern about . obviously be the concern about. and charles. indeed and the only story in town when it comes to england's is england, senegal, the big match . absolute cover to the big match. absolute cover to

cover. reporting on this from the sunday mirror and the people who i win headline of the day yes we kane referring to england's captain you . yes england's captain you. yes that's right . a lot of hope that's right. a lot of hope invested in the spurs player. of course the england captain, harry kane and let's hope he's got his shooting boots on for the big game tomorrow. once again, let me reiterate that sam allardyce with us tomorrow to react to that game . can we have react to that game. can we have a look at this story in the sunday telegraph? pharmacies drafted in to break the nhs strike. and who's going to come off worse from this strike? nigel nelson ? the government or nigel nelson? the government or nurses themselves ? well, we'll nurses themselves? well, we'll have to see. i mean, at the moment, i think the sympathy is with the nurses , although their with the nurses, although their pay with the nurses, although their pay claim is very high , the idea pay claim is very high, the idea of trying to go for 19.6% in the current climate is going to be really difficult. it doesn't mean that it's not a reasonable because they've lost 20% of

their real pay over the last of since the tories came into power over the last 12 years. but obviously 19 90.6% is an awful lot we will have to see. can imagine that the government are finding all of different ways of trying to break the strike. they've announced 2000 troops have been put on standby . have been put on standby. they'll be there to drive ambulances , firefighters , even ambulances, firefighters, even border guards. now, the idea of pharmacies given the chance to put out, had to actually write for antibiotics is certainly a sort of an escalation of what pharmacists do now. and the more pharmacies actually can over some of the roles of gp is i think the better. i buy covid top up job as a pharmacist . think the better. i buy covid top up job as a pharmacist. he didn't have the flu jab at the time to another pharmacist and got that . so those are things got that. so those are things that only a few years ago you

wouldn't have been able to do . wouldn't have been able to do. i'm a big fan of the pharmacists and untapped resource and as you said, they're of delivering. so much medication and so much care . nigel, brilliant to have you on the show . look forward to on the show. look forward to reading both sunday people and the sunday mirror of which you are the political editor. my thanks nelson of the thanks to nigel nelson of the papers .

those are your front pages let's get full panel reaction and fascinating story that cover in the sunday telegraph about the role of pharmacies thought for a long time now that pharmacy states should be able to do more . well, they did, didn't they? they stepped in. we had to do the vaccination rollout. may i stepping in? and in fact, i'm sure most of us and got our sure most of us went and got our vaccine other local pharmacy vaccine and other local pharmacy and what i saw was them putting in infrastructure would in infrastructure that would be able be for more things, more able to be for more things, more . and i think that there's a talent and an untapped resource especially we all hear the pressure on the nhs, we will hear the pressure on gp surgeries. why not. so i think pharmacies are their we can use them better. so i think it's quite right that we look to get this more services at our this more services done at our pharmacy which actually we probably tend to know better in our local gp . well that's right. our local gp. well that's right. this feels like a time this feels like a war time measure that could stay in place like so that did during the like so much that did during the war. you're right. and in war. yes. you're right. and in fact, realise that they

fact, you realise that they become part of a community , the become part of a community, the pharmacy. we've seen the fragmentation of how gp surgeries of evolved . surgeries have sort of evolved. you don't see the same gp you don't really see the same gp every time we go back if we're honest, see familiar honest, but do see that familiar face. local pharmacist, the face. the local pharmacist, the person who's owned the shop, the business while and business for quite a while and trust, that's something that. then you go and ask for guidance after. we to the after. today we went to the pharmacy because also my son wasn't feeling too well we also local pharmacies was the guidance and in fact the medicine they are playing an medicine so they are playing an increasing role families in the community and i think we need to look at what they deliver in look at what they can deliver in terms services as. well, terms of more services as. well, yeah, think this yeah, definitely. i think this is a win, isn't it? i mean, some might worry as pharmacists are less than doctors, less qualified than doctors, they that handing they shouldn't be that handing out medication, deciding if you need antibiotics. but i think we're now. we're in an emergency now. i think that we are. i think we've been very very stretched in this country for a long time, terms of care resources of our health care resources providers. and also we're so many new pop up telehealth companies, femtech , that are companies, femtech, that are

offering something cost some . offering something cost some. people can't afford that. you know, we're in a cost of living. so if your local pharmacy can support and can help by giving you the advice and guidance, you need obviously we need great know, obviously we need great know, obviously we need need them need these services need them provided and community. yeah i mean use your pharmacies i'm mean do use your pharmacies i'm endlessly going pharmacist endlessly going my pharmacist and always and showing him my rashes always see more my body than mrs. dowden of late i think. yeah the local pharmacy is reduced and you know for women's health as well, always having to be, you know, if you want contraception, if you need something prescribed by doctor, you don't go by your doctor, you don't go to your for that you go to pick your gp for that you go to pick it up at the pharmacy, have your gp for that you go to pick it relation|e pharmacy, have your gp for that you go to pick it relation|e ph them.y, have your gp for that you go to pick it relation|e ph them. you have your gp for that you go to pick it relation|e ph them. you know, a relation with them. you know, that's always the case especially you know things especially for you know things that overlooked. that maybe have been overlooked. women's health, where you're not taken and can't taken seriously and you can't see gp, always have go see your gp, you always have go to that's just to a pharmacy that's just part and a woman and and parcel of being a woman and the pharmacy is better than doctor google it or doctor google isn't it or anything invoicing a person who's qualified is better than google i think emily made a lot of good points but i do have some concerns about this is

around privacy know when we certainly when i had my third covid certainly when i had my third covm jab it certainly when i had my third covid jab it was in tiny little room, probably an impromptu one. yeah. but if you've got a health , you don't necessarily want to stand in the queue, then articulate it with a bunch of people behind you . the other people behind you. the other point similarity, and point is similarity, and i appreciate in the appreciate we're not in the world of the 1950s gp where people live in the same for 50 years all the time. your gp does generally know you and anyone . i generally know you and anyone. i think with children or older relatives that's particularly important. and to perhaps the most obvious example . gp that most obvious example. gp that knows you can say, oh, you know that cough you've had for a while could there something more sinister behind i sinister behind it. yeah so i think continuity the think the continuity of the relationship good relationship is a really good thing. so i think a huge fan of pharmacists i think we've got a huge of skill, but there huge amount of skill, but there are potentially things being lost plan. well, wonder lost in plan. well, i wonder whether what the government could some could do is offer them some resource. so example, help resource. so for example, help these pharmacies have area these pharmacies to have an area within the property to actually like a private area , like a, like a private area, like a, like a private area, like a, like a private area, like a, like a viewing or a consultation

perhaps, you know, that might be a solution mightn't it. that would help with some of it. it wouldn't help with familiarity , wouldn't help with familiarity, continuity. but believe in continuity. but i believe in when pharmacists look on the light around of covid jabs often job three or job number four that was in and talk room set up. so some of those could made permanent of course if you're adding a room into a chemist taking out something else whether it's or it's medicine or storage . yeah, i think that's storage. yeah, i think that's the point at one aspect of this as well. course there is that but what percentage of people go to just need to the doctor just need antibiotics. so would antibiotics. so that would already many gp already eliminate many gp appointments. and i think appointments. yes. and i think you know taking on what peter saying have the saying pharmacists have made the investment you can see there is there is a serious business here because saw that i saw local because you saw that i saw local pharmacies the type of pharmacies building the type of infrastructure that wasn't just it's semi—permanent you can see a directory of travel here with pharmacies. no that their business and they're being paid that by the government for providing those services they

will be paid for that . so you're will be paid for that. so you're losing on else you losing footprint on else you might be selling hairbrushes toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc, but you know, there's a business model works for farmers as model that works for farmers as well. think there is well. so i think that there is win the service that win win here. the service that we pressure, the we need pressure, the gp practises, in the practises, relations in the community, animal services easily and readily available at covid range whisper it is the beginning of huge reforms within the nhs. is this the thin end of the nhs. is this the thin end of the wedge that that does need to be reform in the nhs because we can't carry on as we're carrying on we have we lurch from crisis crisis. not about money anymore. it's because we've we kept we do keep hearing that large of money are given to the nhs but we don't seem to be able solve the problem. we have the, the hospital services with our ambulance and our gp practises, whereas they're not a problem. so money's promised. politicians can keep raising the stakes . how can keep raising the stakes. how many they going to put many billions they going to put in. there need to be in. but there does need to be some . maybe this is the some reform. maybe this is the start of it isn't about money

anymore, peter wonder anymore, is it? peter wonder whether the of this whether the politics of this have and if we look to have changed and if we look to labour the potential next government, going need government, they're going need more pounds shillings more than just pounds shillings and pence here. they're going to need it's and need, i think it's money and reform not it's not one or the other. i think money does a part. and some of us or perhaps the that about the people that we care about will experiences in will have had experiences in perhaps slightly rundown hospitals that do need a lick of paint, if not more that. paint, if not more than that. but also about be reform but it will also about be reform as and i think there's as well and i think there's a general presumption that labour on key public services will always offer to spend a bit more . i think that's priced in so i think is going to be a reform agenda that helps labour win on health . it is to do that and health. it is to do that and i think wes streeting shadow health secretary has kind of heard that message . he would say heard that message. he would say funding important, but reform funding is important, but reform very it's a question of what type reform because we've had, whether like it or not. whether you like it or not. we've of you we've ten years of changes you had. andrew reforms. someone said there so big you could see them from space. i'm not sure

they've completed that. they've actually completed that. then we had a lot of tumult around staffing and some foreign workers leaving the service after the referendum . of course, after the referendum. of course, we had covid, so it's kind of non—stop change for a decade. i mean, you're a wellness gurus . mean, you're a wellness gurus. what do you think about the state of the nhs what do you think is the answer ? well, you think is the answer? well, you know, totally right that know, you're totally right that . have so many . there have been so many changes been very to changes that it's been very to actually a playing actually achieve a level playing field to attach reform field in order to attach reform to anything. but you're right, it's not it's not about money to anything. but you're right, it's not it's; not about money to anything. but you're right, it's not it's you about money to anything. but you're right, it's not it's you know, money to anything. but you're right, it's not it's you know, this1ey to anything. but you're right, it's not it's you know, this is' either. it's you know, this is going a case of working , a going to be a case of working, a coalition of ideas where we have to embrace innovation and we have to embrace certain elements of technology and business order to push something forward that, frankly, can work a whole. but it is going take a lot and there's a lot of moving parts it and maybe a bit more common sense. so for example, consultants working , i mean, consultants working, i mean, i don't working a don't mean working seven days a week, a week week, but seven day a week service gp surgeries, staying open until 10:00 rather than closing at 530, which is latest

plan this i think what the pubuc plan this i think what the public need they pay a lot of money for the nhs we are customers we well i think this is where we again embrace business and technology you know health care is very important but it is also available a very broad and diverse population of people in the uk with very, very different needs . so we do need different needs. so we do need to look at that as well. you know, thinking about how we roll service out, in large service out, not just in large metropolitan areas but across the . the ongoing migrant the uk. the ongoing migrant crisis is a massive headache for this government. emily ban albanians from asylum says the immigration minister robert jenrick, in the sunday telegraph is. he writes . jenrick, in the sunday telegraph is. he writes. i mean, i'm not sure that you can assess whether somebody deserves a better life or not based . on the situation or not based. on the situation of peril, where they come from. i think everyone everyone deserves a chance to build a better life for themselves and their families . obviously, there their families. obviously, there is legality around that. but i i'm not sure saying albania is not that bad means that can

close the door to a whole swathe of people. what do you think, sylvia ? this will be music to sylvia? this will be music to ears of many that the government make a distinction between those who are genuine and who enter this country for of their lives versus . people this country for of their lives versus. people coming this country for of their lives versus . people coming from versus. people coming from a country like which is a member of nato and they stubbornly say society a safe country . it society a safe country. it hasn't had military conflict for 25 years. it's the question that pubuc 25 years. it's the question that public have about seekers. we are a caring country we care people we want to provide safe haven as emily saying that we will do . but when we see as you will do. but when we see as you say, more people coming from countries where we're questioning is there, really the issue there, i think that's where the system needs to work better. it needs have faster and is work better . saw the home is work better. saw the home secretary's having a rather difficult at a select committee trying to answer about how the system is working now we've heard numerous home secretary has for quite a while talk about getting tough on the system. it's about time that they do get

a grip of the asylum system. they understand what is required from it and see some results because . this is something that because. this is something that the british public is obviously concerned about. you served under boris johnson as , mayor, under boris johnson as, mayor, and you got a grip of crime in the capital. do you think that suella braverman and anthony rishi sunak are the right people to get a grip of this issue? because i think it could be a deal breaker the next election? is that time to fix it? can they fix it and will they there is time to fix fix it. time to fix it? they fix it. they've got to work to go through the real is because through what the real is because at the moment, people have said the right things, but we've not seen outcomes. and seen the right outcomes. and i think british think that's what the british people outcomes people see the right outcomes and in time for the and they do it in time for the next peter briefly, next election. peter briefly, what think this? what do you think about this? i mean, this issue mean, labour ignore this issue either i think cost either come i know i think cost of living welfare and immigration are going to be top of the agenda. i'm a bit worried about immigration about some of the immigration stuff and i it's a bit stuff though, and i it's a bit of an old adage. it feels like government press release, government like press release, more , more

more interesting stuff, more from the papers after this see you .

in three wayne is not having illegal immigration the country if someone enters britain send them from they came we'll some more of your views shortly but it wasn't a great day a woman in florida when she launched a £4 million lawsuit because her macaroni took too long to cook the kraft company, which a variety of microwave meals didn't reportedly live up to. its as the woman claimed took longer than the three and a half minutes for her to get meal ready. so is she right to sue or is she taking the swiss? and it begs wider question have lost the art of patience . i worry the art of patience. i worry about this pizza because we have, for example, don't we?

amazon prime? which means that if you're lucky enough to have that service, which is subscription service. you can an item in the morning, it could be with you before 10 pm. the same day. yeah. have know what is amazon. but there is a case and day. yeah. have know what is athink�*n. but there is a case and day. yeah. have know what is athink yourt there is a case and day. yeah. have know what is athink you athere is a case and day. yeah. have know what is athink you a you; is a case and day. yeah. have know what is athink you a you know case and day. yeah. have know what is athink you a you know say; and i think you a you know say you're a single parent and you're a single parent and you're to entertain you're trying to entertain the kids that. understand kids like that. i can understand i do have some sympathy for the macaroni or cheese lady even i'm always on your preaching reasonableness and forgiveness aqaba for example waiting in shops and it brings out my very grumpy sides and british. and we're very happy sitting in a queue. there's no issue about that. but it's when people aren't concentrating , they aren't concentrating, they haven't got their change. they're on the phone. i've forgotten something . that's forgotten something. that's probably get bit more probably when i get a bit more grumpy. a sneaking grumpy. so i have got a sneaking and admiration for the macaroni cheese lady. also didn't about you walkers the you but slow walkers the streets. well i don't mind that if the streets are big enough to get round them, but obviously we're london. whole we're in london. for my whole life been this slightly life this has been this slightly theory that oxford street would be divided a fast lane and a

slow lane for pedestrians, but it would never happen . it's it would never happen. it's something that was ever considered by the mayor of london pizza. it's a good point. ipush london pizza. it's a good point. i push that policy forward , that i push that policy forward, that pedestrian lobby was strong in terms of saying we want to stay together as one community. i agree with you. well we live in agree with you. well we live in a society now where you can fancy burger , you switch on fancy a burger, you switch on your and it's with you in your phone and it's with you in 20 minutes, fast food , of 20 minutes, fast food, of course, has been with us since the sixties . an american the sixties. an american invention. can go invention. you can go wetherspoons. you order the wetherspoons. you can order the food advance. it's ready when you arrive . you've got fast you arrive. you've got fast track at amusement parks . so if track at amusement parks. so if you go to chessington or eurodisney, you can pay a bit to jump eurodisney, you can pay a bit to jump the queues . i think we have jump the queues. i think we have lost the art of patience . think lost the art of patience. think we've lost the art of patience. i think i'm worried about the next generation. we sound like a sort of grumpy old people sitting the couch arguing about it used to be like, but do do with our children where the food is coming from, with either. i have an issue with the story. mac cheese, but that's

mac and cheese, but that's not a dish that i see as a meal anyway . it is that there's that point. but i also felt the complaint here peter i agree with you about time but the claim the complaint lady saying complaint was the lady saying the time it took to unwrap dish and the foil, the sort of and take the foil, the sort of flimsy was not included flimsy foil off was not included in the preparation time. dear god. now this is an american story and we know what litigation like makes litigation there is like makes a $4 million lawsuit that she's pursuing crackers. she crackers. so they're very quick to make . so they're very quick to make. look, emily , this is basically a look, emily, this is basically a disaster to that, you know, psychologically we all addicted to everything being instant instant gratification . this is instant gratification. this is not good for anyone, is that? no really not. and there is a lot be said for delayed gratification for mindfulness. but what is delayed credit for those who don't know what is delayed gratification? gratification is essentially putting off dopamine so that putting off the dopamine so that your brain is able to process the weight embrace patience and then you actually get a bigger

dopamine hit when you do achieve what wanted. so let's say there's some hideous tasks that you're not looking forward to doing . got to finish you're not looking forward to doing. got to finish a you're not looking forward to doing . got to finish a company doing. got to finish a company report or you've got to, i don't know , varnish the garden fence know, varnish the garden fence rather than put it . you do it rather than put it. you do it and then yourself afterwards, not before sure. but there is also a difference between. procrastination and delayed gratification and the practise of putting off pleasure is a good thing for your brain. putting off something because you don't want to do it. that's. that's just procrastination. let me give an example. tomorrow, sunday, sun bill fashioned bake a cake , do the hard work. then a cake, do the hard work. then you have to wait 30, 40 minutes to cook and cool down. then finally get it . well, finally you get to eat it. well, yeah. you've got kids is yeah. i mean, you've got kids is a generational thing. do you for kids you've got kids as well kids and you've got kids as well haven't covered that that haven't you covered that that they're waiting they're used to waiting for stuff mean , i stuff because i mean, i mentioned my team earlier who mentioned to my team earlier who are vibrant, diverse and are very vibrant, diverse and young faced with hope in young fresh, faced with hope in their eyes enjoy their hearts. and i telling them that when i

was a kid, if i wanted something like i know maybe a lego set if i wanted that if i spotted something in august, i knew i would have to wait till christmas because you've got christmas because you've got christmas and your birthday and that's when you get stuff. otherwise you that's not the case for kids. now that what i think it shows some of us are reaching middle age or that already will worry about our generation versus one but i think the game changer is technology because example technology because my example would tv. you would be something like tv. you know, i was growing native know, when i was growing native nineties, there are four channels and now a five. if you missed your show, missed your show you, you know, show and you, you know, you might off enough to have might be well off enough to have a video recorder a videotape, a video recorder for these things to at times in these days, everything is available. and that's that's good that's necessarily a bad thing. but it does mean a child's perception . what it can child's perception. what it can happen when it's totally . well, happen when it's totally. well, i agree. i used to love dynasty dallas have to wait a dallas and you'd have to wait a week next and it week for the next episode and it would out live and then the series would end and you'd have to wait half year the next

to wait half year for the next series. now whole series drops all 20 episodes and you can binge it in a week and i can have a question that would be a point we've to point of value we've got to understand value for how these point of value we've got to undemuchi value for how these point of value we've got to undemuch these for how these point of value we've got to undemuch these things w these point of value we've got to undemuch these things costese point of value we've got to undemuch these things cost .;e how much these things cost. actually, you know, it's all available that we can buy. but what does the next generation then and what then get the value and what i worry my kids if worry about with my kids is if i get they're not get it instantly, they're not going understand the of going to understand the value of having. note, who having. and on that note, who always good value as was emily and thanks for your and peter thanks for your company and we're back tomorrow at nine. looking to tomorrow's weather and the uk will be generally cloudy if a keen easterly winds it feel cold for all. here are the details scotland will start the day on a chilly note with a scattering of showers . these will be most showers. these will be most frequent in the but in between the showers there will be some sunshine across northern ireland will be cloudy a few sunny spells most places staying dry all day. but odd isolated shower is possible easterly wind will push showers across northern
