minimum service provided. yeah, i that is a good idea. i think that is a good idea. labour if they get labour are saying if they get into they would rip up any into power they would rip up any laws. yeah. that, that's laws. yeah. that, that, that's sort have anything to do with sort of have anything to do with strikes they're funded strikes because they're funded by obviously by the unions. so obviously they're what they're going to do what their mafia demand they mafia masters demand that they do. strikes, oh how do. and these strikes, oh how convenient. they're doing them over christmas. there's over christmas. i mean there's no chance people could no chance these people could join long christmas join an extra long christmas break. i it's break. could i think it's particularly convenient particularly not convenient at this for the people going this point for the people going on strike or we've got to move on strike or we've got to move on now. layer one of the front coven on now. layer one of the front cover, the guardian for thursday's this thursday's guardian. this is what they with? so what are they leading with? so they've got a picture a black they've got a picture of a black woman wait . and they've woman doing, wait. and they've also got assuming she's a black woman , god guardian . it could be woman, god guardian. it could be it could be a it could be a canadian prime minister. but they've also got main story, they've also got the main story, as is gove, ignoring climate warnings to approve the first coal mine in 30 years. this is a first new coal mine in the uk in 30 years, which is great to see the uk actually taking steps to create some energy instead of destroy, for example. mean destroy, for example. i mean this interesting the price of

this is interesting the price of what climate activists are very, very about because very angry about this because they're enough they're saying this is enough reason to it rather than even reason to do it rather than even care if it's obsolete. let's let's do it. let's do more of them. well, they're saying that they will produce an they try this will produce an estimated of estimated 400,000 tonnes of greenhouse every greenhouse gas emissions every yeah greenhouse gas emissions every year. climate year. most of that from climate activists crying. okay, josh, do you that this if you don't think that this is if the government committed to the government is committed to net zero and, you know, it's environmental targets? this this is an odd no. oh, it's just it's a policy that this plan has been around since 2014. i think they keep on trying to bring it back . and then we were hosting . and then when we were hosting the last cop, they dropped it then now that cops over, now they're going, oh yeah, now we're going to bring it back. and yes, it's going to create jobs. but the whole idea of low but they're saying, it's but they're saying, oh, it's going actually up to be going to actually end up to be neutral then we won't neutral because then we won't have to import the coal that's needed for steel, except for the fact steel now fact that steel is now progressed. and much more progressed. and it's much more environmentally progressed. and it's much more environ|usinglly progressed. and it's much more environ|using sort of they're using sort of electrolysis as opposed to how do you get that electricity ? you

do you get that electricity? you get it by windfall , will join get it by windfall, will join hands. yeah we think wind farm. what would be the when you make steel when the wind's not blowing now the fact is that we're loads of coal we're importing loads of coal for industrial processes for these industrial processes and generates and importing the coal generates and importing the coal generates a carbon dioxide. it's a lot of carbon dioxide. it's also got carbon also we've got carbon sequestration technology in this country. so it's actually a better to mine and burn better place to mine and burn coal. but this is a this is a whitehaven in cumbria. josh, you will concede at least that this is very good the local is very good for the local community of it's going community in terms of it's going to create 500 let's to create 500 jobs. and let's face gove is the face it, michael gove is the levelling up secretary. we seem to forgotten about to have forgotten about levelling is levelling up, but this is clearly something that is within his nice. some people his mind that nice. some people will be like, oh, isn't this nice? tories opening coal nice? see tories opening coal mines? we got a mines? well, we haven't got a great that one. yeah, great record on that one. yeah, he come in now. many people he come in now. now many people happy the coal mines, the happy it was the coal mines, the old open coal mines. they cry. yeah. do you want? oh, do yeah. what do you want? oh, do you mind? they set as they were going to start. like doing big brass bands like tories. i suppose what saying suppose what you're saying is that margaret thatcher was a major proto environmentalist. that's doing ahead that's what she was doing ahead of yeah those greenie

of her game. yeah those greenie left be left wing, actually, they may be more the north who want more sons in the north who want to ballerinas. nothing to be ballerinas. yep. nothing wrong i did ballet as wrong with that. i did ballet as a child, so, like, have i ten? right. moving on to right. moving on now to thursday's financial times. josh, have they got ? they josh, what have they got? they have she she's zero covid have got she she's zero covid controls loosened as evidence mounts of damage to trade. of course , there's going to be course, there's going to be evidence of damage to trade if they're closing down all the factories there. but it's really about saving face for the government. they're trying to say, you know, yeah, we've say, no, you know, yeah, we've been looking the evidence and been looking at the evidence and the and the situation and the time and the situation and all that optimising and all of that optimising and really tariff . i've a really that tariff. i've of a population who might actually 90, population who might actually go, a minute, don't like go, wait a minute, we don't like living under this despotic state. well, you know, those people have been living under a despotic long time. despotic state for a long time. but met because they but when they met because they had there was had an exchange, there was a contract. yes. with the with the with that regime. and they feel and government fulfilled and the government fulfilled that, for that, locking them away for months is not fulfilling months on end is not fulfilling their side you say the their side of the you say the case that is she's case and that is she's government finally realised government has finally realised actually of the people actually the power of the people can scary. i mean

can be pretty scary. i mean there's a lot of people in china, know, they say if china, you know, they say if they decide to turn against they all decide to turn against they all decide to turn against the government, government doesn't really. doesn't stand a chance really. and who've been and the people who've been rioting guangzhou rioting like guangzhou or places like are ethnic hands. like that are the ethnic hands. the majority populate asian the majority han populate asian and so and they're middle class. so they're with, you they're the people with, you know, people know, some influence and people that be sort of taken that can easily be sort of taken away to torture camps and killed and made to make iphones. so we all that this is a good all agree that this is a good thing. well, a good thing. yeah, well, it's a good thing. yeah, well, it's a good thing look what having thing that look what he's having to whether it's to the question is whether it's going be enough appeal. going to be enough to appeal. you had a taste you know, if they've had a taste of their power. yeah. usually that's not enough to actually sate whether it's sate people. so whether it's going be enough actually going to be enough to actually 90, going to be enough to actually go, then, fine. well go, all right, then, fine. well we'll to that. they're we'll go back to that. they're trying to save face in the way, but it's going to be a bad thing for europe, unfortunately, because, you know, global energy pnces because, you know, global energy prices the prices have been kept low by the chinese been has chinese industry, has been has been china been tanking. so you know, china hasn't sucking in all hasn't been sucking in all the uquefied hasn't been sucking in all the liquefied gas from liquefied natural gas from around know, around the world. and, you know, if industry surges if chinese industry surges again, we could be in again, you know, we could be in real trouble with our energy crisis. well, leo, i want to ask you front cover the

you about the front cover the mirror . a picture harry mirror now. a picture of harry and meghan there , but hancock and meghan there, but hancock seems dominate. that's right. seems to dominate. that's right. so hancock will not so hancock hancock will not stand to gain as an mp. so tweeting the other day saying he would . oh yeah. no he's he's not would. oh yeah. no he's he's not i've got i've got more and more on the story. he says he wants to and he's making the classic sort of celebrity, you know, smashing a nice charity worker thing. you sell it. oh, yeah. so you know, i don't want to be an mp. want to i want to do more mp. i want to i want to do more work to do work for work for i want to do work for dyslexic children. it means you're there, you know, because they're getting deal from they're getting a raw deal from they're getting a raw deal from the education that, the education system with that, it's to make lots it's not it wants to make lots of apparently made 400 of money. apparently made 400 grand being the i'm grand from being on the i'm a celeb. brodie, get me out of here. so he wants to make more money money to charity, money giving money to charity, though sliver of to though he gave a sliver of it to joe. yeah, it's probably one of these charities. it gets funnelled charities funnelled local charities these days. gets funnelled days. it just gets funnelled back that back in your pocket. isn't that something this? you know, something to this? you know, i think he know, he's think josh, he you know, he's experienced this other potential side to character. was side to his character. he was more popular than people

the us electoral system could see a massive overhaul, why albanians are speaking out against discrimination and why the is trouble for its the bbc is in trouble for its lack of impartiality. see you in a moment .

welcome back to headliners. your first look at thursday's newspapers with me, andrew doyle. and i'm still here with the headline is a—team. josh howie and leo kearse . so howie and leo kearse. so albanians are feeling discriminated against when? well this is about immigration, isn't it? josh yeah, very smooth. so i've. ambassador it's a campaign of discrimination amid small boats row this is his name is queer jocko coco that was is that racist if i say that sounds a bit like a star trek character , that's definitely not right. you didn't say that. you simply asked. i just was just curious if it was. please don't send

anything in to us. albanian ambassador may the force be with you.so ambassador may the force be with you. so i. yeah, he is basically . look, it's all been kicking off. yeah there's all of these albanians, they're basically making up a third of the people who are coming over the 12,000 of the 44,000 or so. right but the claim is that is 2% of the claim is that this is 2% of albanian men are now. and albanian men are now. yeah. and he's that's not true he's saying that that's not true . is it true. well he's . is it not true. well he's saying it's not true. okay. do you think it's not true? no, i think it might be true. okay yeah, i think in that case, given that albania at war. given that albania isn't at war. yeah, likelihood is that yeah, the likelihood is that most are fact most of these are in fact economic migrants. absolutely. some that some people would argue that they criminals or the they are criminals or the majority of criminals. it's like i would argue that the majority are over here for economic reasons that aren't necessary related to drugs. yes but the way bringing drugs up is because most of them are coke dealers. why? so the albanian ambassador complained that a lot of them have been stereotype as cocaine dealers, fact a lot of dealers, when in fact a lot of them are also pimps. most yeah, i been watching i think everyone's been watching

a too much, a lot. taken too much, too much, too much. take it. but the point is this, you know, surely there is this, you know, surely there is an issue here, isn't there? because if it is economic migrants , not refugees, migrants, not refugees, then that's surely that's you know, that's surely something to address is something we have to address is totally, absolutely racist as i. so no, i take just say one thing. the interesting thing one more thing, which is that the people have claimed asylum people who have claimed asylum here who are from albania, 51% of those people were given asylum. they were . why not? if asylum. they were. why not? if they were saying me, you've got they were saying me, you've got the answer right. oh good. the answer, yes. so basically they see we're victims of modern slavery. we've been trafficked for slavery. and then , you know for slavery. and then, you know this. they know how to game. they know the right things to see. like when you're down at the job centre signing on, they know right things to see to know the right things to see to get to get the pay to get to stay. i mean, are there any studies into that? do we know that? be sure. i mean, could that? to be sure. i mean, could it case that half of it not be the case that half of the people are, in fact, fleeing from some kind of persecution,

that about in that we don't know about in albania? that's not really albania? no that's not really true, also here true, because it also says here that do just because that people who do just because they've victim crime they've been victim of a crime doesn't mean that they do actually get asylum status. so that's sort a serious that's not sort of a serious ways you can game the ways that you can game the system i mean, you're system to. i mean, if you're from a country where a christian is a prosecutor, you see a convert christianity. there convert to christianity. there are. that's that's are. yeah, but that's not that's not going what's not what's going on. what's going on. there are various different ways. not saying different ways. i'm not saying this only way the game this is the only way the game the saying the system, i'm saying the system and it's so system is broken and it's so full holes these these full of holes and these these there's industry of human there's an industry of human rights lawyers who know how to how the holes, the how to work the holes, the loopholes in the so loopholes in the system. so basically, tighten up basically, we need to tighten up the sweden has zero the system. sweden has zero immigration from albania. sweden just countries just has a list of countries that are safe that they say are safe countries. so we're taking countries. so we're not taking any applications from any asylum applications from those supportive those people who are supportive of seekers of the albanian asylum seekers will the 51% record is will say that the 51% record is proof fact the system is proof that in fact the system is working. you saying working. but then you are saying that the system itself is a rorschach test, right ? okay. rorschach test, right? okay. well, then we can let's move on that to the telegraph and a distant member of the dutch

royal family has tried to take over germany . leo, it sounds over germany. leo, it sounds made up . yeah, i mean, it could made up. yeah, i mean, it could be . we'll see how the trial be. we'll see how the trial goes, but a gentleman prince with suspected business links to britain, there's some sort of a fund that he's associated with in britain that makes money . in britain that makes money. he's been arrested in connection with an extreme plot to overthrow the country's democrat repubuc overthrow the country's democrat republic and install him as king. so prosecute those who are alleging that prince heinrich , alleging that prince heinrich, the 13th of those really is prince harry. yeah, he's that's why he's moved on. he's getting desperate now. well he's a he's a german prince. he's german the next season of harry and meghan is going to be a cracker. they've introduced this guy said they were going to they were going to storm the german parliament. they said that they were inspired the january were inspired by the january sixth riot, which which sixth capitol riot, which which failed. i don't know how you the inspire by something so obviously this is this is the thing that's been painted as a as a serious attempt as of as a serious coup attempt as of january sixth. right is for january the sixth. right is for but if you're a crazy

but you know, if you're a crazy crackpot conspiracy theorist, but you know, if you're a crazy crac know, onspiracy theorist, but you know, if you're a crazy crac know, minor|cy theorist, but you know, if you're a crazy crac know, minor royalaorist, but you know, if you're a crazy crac know, minor royal with , but you know, if you're a crazy crac know, minor royal with some you know, minor royal with some some you know, some parallels, you can't just take hoover's intensely militarised, powerful government. and this guy claims that he is an unset or descendant of someone who had a legitimate claim to the throne 300 years ago. it's a bit like when, you know, there's a couple of people who claim the of people who claim that the rightful king of scotland. right. they can trace their uneage right. they can trace their lineage and they pull out lineage back and they pull out the carta whatever and the magna carta or whatever and say, look this and say, oh, look at this line. and it's like, yeah, but we've it's like, well, yeah, but we've got 20, now and but got other 20, 22 now and but also like about this also what i like about this story they that this story is they mention that this prince a distant relative prince has a distant relative who married to one of the who was married to one of the abba singers. so there's an there's connection, there's an amber connection, all of their history. well, i think that him now. it's that validates him now. it's serious. it's serious serious. i mean, it's serious now. real. yeah do now. it's getting real. yeah do you were involved in you think they were involved in the yeah we're just going the plot? yeah we're just going to just going to say, if to we're just going to say, if there has an issue with there has been an issue with particularly in the german military, raise? and military, is that a raise? and is right , far right. far is a far right, far right. far right . so i mean, obviously,

right. so i mean, obviously, germany's got a bit of a dodgy history when it comes to that kind of thing. is this prince character far right? yeah he's fuel base of conspiracy theories and some of which are probably not so much conspiracy theories, but just, you know, things that because there's been huge demographic shifts in germany that really fuelled the fire and fuelled sort of anti—immigration , you know, conservative groups that want to preserve german culture . and there's, you know, culture. and there's, you know, there's nothing you know, they've got a bit of a point because there have been i mean, people in germany are leaving because because they've had a huge influx of influx , a million huge influx of influx, a million and a half islamic immigrants , and a half islamic immigrants, which is, you know, rapidly changing . but leo, like if you changing. but leo, like if you want to make those points politically, that's one thing. but to get a bunch of abba fans, oh yeah. dressed up in oh yeah. people dressed up in armour stormed the german armour and stormed the german party. i mean, a good party. i mean, that's a good idea. saying, there's, idea. i'm just saying, there's, there's and social there's cultural and social shifts underpinning, you know, all these things. this rift all of these things. this rift towards serious people. towards some serious people. they equivalent towards some serious people. the ss equivalent towards some serious people. the ss like equivalent towards some serious people. the ss like an equivalent

towards some serious people. the ss like an officerjuivalent towards some serious people. the ss like an officer .rivalent towards some serious people. the ss like an officer . italent towards some serious people. the ss like an officer . it wast the ss like an officer. it was they had an ex judge give them they had an ex judge give them the layout of the government. so this is a big the fiscal so they it was the biggest raid 3000 police were involved . police officers were involved. there's going to be a 20 suspects a arrested. yeah so 3000 police officers were involved in shutting it down. oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah . that oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. that would a bit serious. i would have been a bit serious. i think 20 suspects think it's the 20 suspects didn't much do didn't have much chance. we do have on now to the have to move on now to the guardian. and apparently that could be a serious shake up of the system. yes. us the us electoral system. yes. us supreme case that supreme court hears case that could radically reshape elections. okay let's go . elections. okay let's go. essentially, what's happened is that let me let me, let me go. go right to getting. yeah as a country called america. yes and they've got a government and then they've got like different states . and those states are states. and those states are controlled . they want to say, controlled. they want to say, like who which regions people can vote in. but normally the states legislator and the justice system will actually say, yes, you can create this

many regions and whatever. yes and what's happened is they're trying to the more the republicans are trying to take it to the supreme court to say we don't want those judges, that local, federal level, that local level to make those judgements. we want it to stay within the actual local government and they can decide and this is north carolina , which is a republican carolina, which is a republican state. yes. and the point here is that if you grant the powers for the local lawmakers to draw up the electoral lines, to run the elections themselves, you're asking gerrymandered re to asking for gerrymandered re to validate them so that gerrymandering much gerrymandering is much more likely happen. the likely to happen. is that the case there? yeah. and you case there? yeah. yeah. and you you need to have that separation of party the of of party and then the of political operative and then this allow , you know, the this would allow, you know, the parties to have much more influence over all those election results. so why are they why is the gop bringing this then? because that this then? because surely that will when they've will cease when they've obviously influence over election . yeah, but but election results. yeah, but but they but why make it so blatant ? mean, like it's america . ? i mean, like it's america. that's what they do. yeah, i don't know. they don't know subtlety it's not just

subtlety at all. it's not just america, time america, but any time politicians want to do stuff, they're not exactly subtle about. at michelle about. i mean, look at michelle moon. you know, you moon. yeah you know, you couldn't really be more blatant. they have boat the they have the boat called the taxpayer. is it someone taxpayer. well, is it someone fake that the is a fake. did you see the picture. i didn't see she's on a boat. i'm not bogut. it's called the tax. i think you guysi it's called the tax. i think you guys i think you saw a meme on twitter, josh and i'm a i'm i'm easily to maybe it is true we'll check that out in the break. anyway times now culture anyway the times now the culture secretary out the bbc secretary is calling out the bbc over not the first over impartiality. not the first out. now people have out. now lots of people have done in the past, but done this in the past, but they're sort suggesting that they're sort of suggesting that they're sort of suggesting that the doing all it the bbc isn't doing all it should the state broadcaster the bbc isn't doing all it syes.d the state broadcaster the bbc isn't doing all it syes. so the state broadcaster the bbc isn't doing all it syes. so the; state broadcaster the bbc isn't doing all it syes. so the culture 3roadcaster the bbc isn't doing all it syes. so the culture secretary, r . yes. so the culture secretary, michele said that the michele donlon has said that the bbc a great way to go, an bbc has a great way to go, an impartial electorate. so basically government is basically a tory government is criticising the bbc for an anti tory which, you you tory bias which, you know, you can understand why they would have they have picked that whole, but they really have really they really do have a massive i mean, if you massive point. i mean, if you look at i mean, look look at a comedy on the bbc, i think they did a survey. and 90% of the

comedians who displayed the political bias in the bbc were labour or left wing , and the 2% labour or left wing, and the 2% was it was jeff northcott . so, was it was jeff northcott. so, you know, it really is a ridiculous, ridiculous bias in comedy, which is obviously the thing that i care about, but there's other things as well. so gary lineker tweeted about he's a he's a bbc. bbc employee and he tweeted about donations. russia donating to the conservative party was unfounded . emily maitlis didn't meet the standards on accuracy when she was talking about dominic cummings and also more and more sort of nefariously , more easily sort of nefariously, more easily the bbc had enormous editorial failings when dealing with deaung failings when dealing with dealing with the story about anti—semitic attacks on jewish students, which they actually blamed the jewish students. the they spread these lies that the jewish students had been being islamophobic against the this is so much more serious when it's a state broadcaster where it is mandated that they are impartial and they keep getting caught out. i they also had out. josh i mean, they also had they're a rape victim

they're misquoting a rape victim in order not to misgender the attacker . and so there's attacker. and so there's obviously not so much a political bias, i would say, as more of this kind of culture war bias is coming through the news. you parts of bbc you know, there are parts of bbc , hybrid i enjoy . yeah, the , the hybrid i enjoy. yeah, the news is being the real problem. and covered that. and we actually covered that. the story on your the anti—semite story on your show free nation like show and free speech nation like a and now ofcom have a year ago and now ofcom have found them to have made significant editorial failings finally whatever. but on monday you had digital to hadley freeman's interview on women's. yes, yes. and it was really funny because she's talking about how like the guiding and failed and wouldn't allow her to report on trans issues. failed and wouldn't allow her to report on trans issues . yes. and report on trans issues. yes. and then she brings wins and she was like and women's hour also has it because they haven't interviewed helen joyce. her book like bestseller . they book is like a bestseller. they haven't these things haven't done all these things and it was funny because they got very defensive and were like, before my like, well, this is before my time. they've been terrible like, well, this is before my tinwell. they've been terrible like, well, this is before my tinwell. they('ve been terrible like, well, this is before my tinwell. they('ve beveryone le as well. they have everyone i speak to work to the bbc or speak to his work to the bbc or works. the bbc says this is a reality and everyone knows it. how sort of detoxify?

how would you sort of detoxify? because an because eventually they it is an ideological event. they said they have a plan to deal with it. this they say. but it. this is what they say. but there a way to go about there is a way to go about solving problem and i'm solving the problem and i'm just wondering you guys wondering if either of you guys have approached. obviously, have been approached. obviously, i've to with. i've got a plan to deal with. you're being approached by the bbc, plan to deal with the bbc, a plan to deal with the bbc. get of the bbc. why? bbc. get rid of the bbc. why? when cost of living when we're in a cost of living crisis, are we paying? how much is a budget a licence fee? i don't pay it so well. it's a bit to be fair though. i mean, i think the heads of the bbc have acknowledged the licence think the heads of the bbc have ackiswledged the licence think the heads of the bbc have ackis notiged the licence think the heads of the bbc have ackis not aed the licence think the heads of the bbc have ackis not a long the licence think the heads of the bbc have ackis not a long term licence fee is not a long term sustainable that's sustainable option. that's something the something that some of the so—called as so—called secretary is saying as well. is going to go well. so it is going to go right? it just depends what kind of model the licence goes to. i don't think bbc will don't think the bbc will disappear, i think it will disappear, but i think it will evolve else. evolve into something else. right. dealership right. so used car dealership and yeah. good idea. and swindon. yeah. good idea. thanks, now we have reached thanks, leo. now we have reached the of the show. the halfway point of the show. we're up. join us we're just warming up. join us after i'm going to be after the break. i'm going to be talking about young talking about why young people don't something like don't want jobs, something like that children's that could be why children's immunity dropped we immunity has dropped and why we won't guy won't be seeing this guy fighting crime our streets .

okay i live with your parents and you can. but, you know, you kind of know how to how to work the benefits system, which is, you and introduced you know, logged and introduced people idea of getting people to the idea of getting free money from government free money from the government when furlough when they were giving furlough scheme, a taste scheme, people got a taste for it like like tiger. like a it and like like a tiger. like a tiger. this had taste for tiger. this had a taste for human know want it human flesh. they know want it so the furlough scheme is no so of the furlough scheme is no more. oh, no, but there's another the another thing called called the benefits system. but you can get everything, a house, you can everything, get a house, you can get money. have prove, get money. you have to prove, need. prove need. yeah, you have to prove need. yeah, you have to prove need by faking need. i don't understand this you know the idea young you idea that all young people, you know, remember what it was know, you remember what it was like be young just, you know. like to be young just, you know. well, you, not well, i'll tell you, it was not how keen to get work. how you were keen to get work. you were keen to get out there and out. and i think i did. and get out. and i think i did. i wanted i wanted to get out of my boarding school and back to my boarding school and back to my parents house where i stayed until my thirties. my parents house where i stayed until my thirties . so but this until my thirties. so but this is actually a quite serious thing because half of those who are working receive financial support from their family and that's up to 50% who live in london. so what they are earning

isn't obviously enough to sustain them. i'm sorry if i tried to move in with my mother , she would have like made me sure to maybe pay it. sure to make me do work. my mom made me pay make me do work. my mom made me pay just like a lot scarred me. and people have this young people according this people according to this article, this sort of sense of entitlement the reserve, entitlement that the reserve, they've unrealistic they've got unrealistic expectations about sort of expectations about what sort of job going to be to job they're going to be able to be able get loads of them. be able to get loads of them. 15% want to work in entertainment media, entertainment or the media, whereas that do they whereas those 2% of that do they want to it? want to be pop want to do it? we want to be pop stars, right? yeah. yeah. nobody wants to put in the graft. wants to like put in the graft. so jobs to start at the, so jobs you go to start at the, you know, ground floor and you know, the ground floor and work way up where whatever work your way up where whatever is. well, i hope these parents don't them get with don't let them get away with this don't them come and this and don't let them come and live their houses. need live in their houses. we need the be well. the workforce to be well. there's many job openings there's too many job openings for many people we've got, so we need of immigration. when need lots of immigration. when we of these people to we get some of these people to migrate bedrooms to migrate from their bedrooms to the kind of the work, you know, this kind of story makes me sound story really makes me sound quite wing, know? it quite right wing, you know? it really know, i just. really does. you know, i just. i

just. i hate laziness. anyway let's move on now to thursday's telegraph. the telegraph. i know some of the more obvious consequences of lockdown absolutely lockdown live. yeah, absolutely . lockdown may have left a generation with an immunity debt . so basically because we've you know, this is the third third christmas that we haven't had a look. we've had two years of lockdown over the winter and so young people haven't been exposed to bugs. obviously, dunng exposed to bugs. obviously, during lockdown, you know, nobody's getting the flu. nobody's getting strep all these all these bugs that go around and hospital, hospital and no flu. hospital, hospital visitations young children visitations and young children are 20 times as high as last yeah are 20 times as high as last year. and this is really the time when the nhs is falling apart at the seams. children need the bugs and the germs and they to interact and you they need to interact and you know, provides a sort of know, it provides a sort of natural immunity and boosts your immune immune immune system if your immune system worse, if you system is getting worse, if you lock away in these lock people away in these bubbles, then they're not going to exposed to those to those to get exposed to those to those bugs. they're out and, bugs. no they're coming out and, you mingling. we've you know, mingling. and we've got these bugs got a winter where these bugs are through. been are flying through. there's been are flying through. there's been a amongst young a lot deaths amongst young

people. various people. i mean, various serious just because, young, just because, you know, young, young people dying needlessly because of immune issue, you because of the immune issue, you know, worst is know, i'd say and the worst is that actually there's interest know, i'd say and the worst is théit. ctually there's interest know, i'd say and the worst is théit. that's there's interest know, i'd say and the worst is théit. that's whate's interest know, i'd say and the worst is théit. that's what they'reast on it. that's what they're arguing about, that basically the extra because now it's these these diseases wouldn't have spread that far right before yeah but because so few people have it in their system, they're now sort of increasing not exponentially , but much more exponentially, but much more than they would have normally , than they would have normally, which then the situation which then makes the situation worse which the situation worse, which makes the situation worse. a slight sort worse. so there's a slight sort of effect. well, of spiral effect. well, what they are saying is just, you know, parents need to be really vigilant symptoms. vigilant about these symptoms. i'd what the i'd be aware of what the symptoms are and just symptoms of strep are and just make you know, do make sure that you, you know, do something. also be aware of something. and also be aware of when governments try to take away your rights and introduce lockdowns, don't lockdowns, next time you don't let it. you know, there let them do it. you know, there are me. i drove are some of us like me. i drove you to where i was protesting against the government. if everybody it, we everybody had done it, we wouldn't these stupid wouldn't have had these stupid lockdowns killing lockdowns that are now killing people. they are. i people. i was busy. they are. i was with mum. nobody. was living with my mum. nobody. nobody busy as the thing. nobody was busy as the thing. nobody was busy as the thing. nobody was busy as the thing. nobody was busy. i only did it

because wanted work. was because i wanted to work. i was out walking a day because out walking twice a day because the said, to the government said, you had to write like that. write or something like that. you were allowed to always have a mental breakdown because of home that home schooling. still, that would to this was would drive you on to this was my at beginning of my headline at the beginning of covid this my headline at covid and this is my headline at the so you got the end. yeah. so you got to give us break here is give us a break here is independent what's this independent now what's this about zones at a abortion about buffer zones at a abortion clinics in northern ireland? so they've that uk they've had a ruling that uk supreme court ruled on wednesday that the northern ireland bill did the free did not infringe on the free expression of opponents of abortion. buffer zone. abortion. this is a buffer zone. a buffer zone ruling . what does a buffer zone ruling. what does that mean ? they're just a buffer that mean? they're just a buffer zone. they're trying to stop people to put in a buffer zone around abortion clinics, to stop any protecting people, any bit of protecting people, standing signs. standing up with all the signs. so the who have the sort of signs with the images of aborted foetuses and screaming women signs with the images of aborted foethey; and screaming women signs with the images of aborted foethey gord screaming women signs with the images of aborted foethey go into reaming women signs with the images of aborted foethey go into rean abortion omen signs with the images of aborted foethey go into reanabortion .men as they go into the abortion. and what they're saying you and what they're saying is, you can't oh, you can't do that. oh, yeah, you could do elsewhere. like you could do it elsewhere. like you can't do it in of the have can't do it in front of the have zone where you can't. what zone where you can't. to what extent is a freedom of extent is this a freedom of speech you tell mr.

speech complex? you tell me. mr. a person who wrote a book about freedom is what asking you, freedom is what i'm asking you, because want to if you've because i want to know if you've thought of course. thought about it. of course. i mean, is i this does mean, this is i mean, this does set precedent if you're not set a precedent if you're not allowed to normally you're allowed to normally you're allowed to normally you're allowed to demonstrate whatever, wherever you want within you know, certain know, there are certain limitations under the limitations and stuff under the policing bill. but this this means won't to means you won't be able to demonstrate where it's actually most. well only the only thing with mean, where the with that is, i mean, where the freedom speech line ends, of freedom of speech line ends, of course, when goes into course, is when it goes into criminality as harassment. criminality such as harassment. could could argued could it be could it be argued and i'm it has been argued and i'm sure it has been argued that starting directly that women starting directly outside abortion clinics shouting women for shouting at women going for abortions, the abortions, that that crosses the line harassment and line into harassment and therefore isn't a freedom of speech. it could speech. but it could i mean. well sort of well well, there's a sort of harm issue with with freedom of speech. so you're freedom of speech. so you're freedom of speech it harms speech stops where it harms someone in case, someone else. in this case, it could stopping to could be stopping harm to a baby, a if you believe that baby, to a if you believe that the baby has human rights, which, course, the pro—choice which, of course, the pro—choice campaign not yeah, campaign do not believe. yeah, yeah. ethical yeah. another that's the ethical conflict yeah, conflict here. yeah, yeah, that's describe they that's if they describe they describe and this is as describe abortion and this is as health care. when it's killing someone. i access to abortion

someone. i in access to abortion . don't think we should . but i don't think we should pretend killing pretend that this is killing someone. i mean, someone. yes, i mean, viable. a viable foetus after 15 weeks. but just do you i mean, do you think that this is fair enough in terms of pro—choice, when you think a good comparison would be the westboro baptist church picketing in america? picketing funerals in america? and they're allowed and of course, they're allowed protest. so sort of protest. but it was so sort of egregious. within the area egregious. and within the area of the funeral that it seemed that crosses that line, doesn't it? that's and it? well, that's well, and that's the court that's certainly what the court has found. yeah. the judgement what's interesting now is because a northern because this was a northern ireland bill. yeah. this is ireland bill. yeah. now this is actually to impact the actually going to impact the scottish similar scottish precedent. yeah, exactly. so okay thursday telegraph now okay well thursday telegraph now so about in so don't worry about condoms in scotland. you for that, scotland. thank you for that, josh. moving on new zealand . josh. moving on to new zealand. leo is a new zealand story. leo this is a new zealand story. this child and the parents this is a child and the parents refusing vaccinated blood . yes, refusing vaccinated blood. yes, in that basically child was due for heart surgery, i believe it was a very serious condition. very serious condition, potentially life threatening. and the refused an urgent blood donation for the child because it was from a covid vaccinated

donon it was from a covid vaccinated donor. so they believe then it would have the covid vaccine and the child's blood and they believe in all the you know, the conspiracy theories slash legitimate concerns about the covid vaccine and the ones that keep their child's blood free from the from the vaccine. but you know, obviously, this is you've got to weigh up the sort of probabilities of damage. and, you know, having a heart condition that could kill the child obviously more serious child is obviously more serious . the potential concerns around the covid vaccine, and that's what high court judge what the high court judge told the court . high what the high court judge told the court. high court judge the high court. high court judge has basically said the state has has basically said the state has has basically said the state has given state custody of the child to give then health care matters, yes , but it matters, which, yes, but it should be pointed out that the parents saying, look, parents were also saying, look, we've this blood that's we've got all this blood that's non—vaccinated. so why don't you just that? but the hospital just use that? but the hospital and health authorities were and the health authorities were saying be saying that that may not be sufficient. well, that sufficient. that's well, that was right. they were was their right. they were saying is their excuse. and saying that is their excuse. and they don't want to set a precedent. oh, yeah. we'd said a precedent where, you know, then other would one other parents would would one that and all of a sudden you've

got a complicated expensive system sets system with like two sets of blood. but also all blood. but there's also all sorts of reasons why people might care to their might deny health care to their own child. religious or own child. probably religious or jehovah's not exactly. so that's not a precedent you want to set, is it? because actually the faith of shouldn't be as of the parents shouldn't be as important health important as the health of the child. when comes to the child. and when it comes to the conspiracy theories around the vaccine. well, i mean, as high court know, these are court ruled, you know, these are conspiracy theories. that's what they're course, they're saying. but of course, there evidence about there is evidence about complications or side effects or whatever isn't as clear cut as people want it to be. and it should be pointed out this the mother is a midwife. she's not an idiot. she's deals with life and death and you're concerned about this ruling medical? well, i'm concerned about the i'm i'm concerned about the precedent it sets for your child . and even you have i'm . and even when you have i'm concerned about children being needlessly the covid needlessly given the covid vaccine, when it's when it's unnecessary, proven to unnecessary, when it's proven to actually have more of a negative impact than the positive impact. so don't accept the health so you don't accept the health authority would authority saying that they would you more access to you would need more access to other products may other blood products that may not the most important

not be within the most important thing child going to thing is this child is going to get surgery now. exactly. get the surgery now. exactly. which important. but which is very important. but there a worrying there is a there is a worrying creep into this in, for example, the name persons wanted to the name persons act wanted to make all children the actual property, the ward of the state rather than their parents being parents, the smp , the most parents, the smp, the most authoritarian. i about it authoritarian. i think about it as ever existed here is a generally, you know, not generally, you know, maybe not in case, but they're in every case, but they're generally best advocates for generally the best advocates for the thursday's generally the best advocates for the now thursday's generally the best advocates for the now and thursday's generally the best advocates for the now and robocop ay's generally the best advocates for the now and robocop has been express now and robocop has been stood in san francisco , stood down in san francisco, thank goodness. right? yeah, but we covered thing a few we covered this thing a few about month or so barrie. about a month or so ago, barrie. no place for killer robots. san francisco force francisco rejects lethal force bots after backlash . we're going bots after backlash. we're going to put robots on the street that are armed and can kill as they have and with shock guns. yeah. or with grenades . and they'd or with grenades. and they'd send them in and they could just blow people's head. 209 from robocop ascension. yes. and now they're saying and then it caused a bit of a backlash. people were protesting. so people were protesting. and so now of supervisors now the board of supervisors have unanimous unanimously banned the use of . but they're

banned the use of. but they're saying for now . so instead saying for now. so instead they're giving the robot pepper spray, which would make robocop a rubbish movie . all right. but a rubbish movie. all right. but wait, why were they even considering this in the first place? that's america killer robots. are you kidding me ? oh, robots. are you kidding me? oh, come on. at least police officers put themselves in the line of fire every day in america. so anything that can can remove them from from harm and send a robot into to kill people instead of a robot doesn't need to kill . a robot doesn't need to kill. a robot can go in and do it and also these robots , there are arms of these robots, there are arms of that big like crab preferable to and yeah and then cauterise the wounds with some sort of flamethrower device you know well you know this is much better than killing me. yeah, but think i mean, these people but i think i mean, these people are kind of being luddite it's this obviously you know this is no, obviously you know we've seen in the battlefield had the advances made with had the advances to be made with the technology. not the drone technology. that's not good is , you know, good either. so it is, you know, really how this is open to exploitation. i mean, if people can hack into these robots,

create armies, destroy the world, can you not this? no, world, can you not see this? no, i i don't see that i don't. i don't see that because are much because i think people are much more fallible and much more likely make mistakes act likely to make mistakes or act according to bias than rule making us. wow, i'm going to lend dvd. this lend you robocop and dvd. this is right? no more is ridiculous, right? no more killer on the street. killer robots on the street. that's ninja. the that's my unconscious ninja. the film milk? no film about harvey milk? no that's josh no, that's irrelevant. josh no, no, it's san francisco. it's it's just san francisco. it's all that. all about giving all about that. all about giving speeches. and of him, it speeches. and if all of him, it was alive, he would not allow others to first others to go. you first discovered milk. you didn't even invented so a invented milk. so in a way, we've got move on because we've got to move on because we've got to move on because we've we've got to take we've got we've got to take a break now. but i tell you what, in 2 minutes, going to be in 2 minutes, we're going to be talking all sorts talking about all sorts of things, including airtags things, including why airtags are idea and how cows are not a good idea and how cows help to criminal. see help to catch a criminal. see you in 2 minutes.

welcome back to headliners. your first look through thursday's

newspapers with me, andrew doyle. so let's get back into it. thursday's times now and an over—the—counter tracking that has led to a rise in stalking. yeah, so apple airtags are apparently used by stalkers and apple is being sued by two women. so these airtag devices based on the size of a $0.10 piece that cost about 35 quid. and if you put them if you hide them in a device to see, you know, you're worried if your laptop gets nicked, you know, you'll be able to find it. you'll still be able to find it. you can this thing in a bag you can hide this thing in a bag in anywhere. and it's basically traceable. location traceable. the location is traceable. the location is traceable an apple. so is traceable using an apple. so is it legal? this is for instance, if i wanted to check that my partner wasn't cheating on me and i slipped one of these into his and he didn't his wallet and he didn't know, am breaking by tracking am i breaking the by tracking him in that way? i don't know. but said, hey, i need but person said, hey, i need to do that. by the way, certainly there are there are sort of interesting came up interesting that you came up with that particular example. yeah. all the yeah. just say have all the examples you or examples of if you stalk or harass somebody and, use these as part of that , then that's

as part of that, then that's definitely so no, i definitely illegal. so no, i don't know if that would count as illegal, but but basically the law in use in texas an ex boyfriend placed an airtag in the wheel a car and the wheel wheel of a car and used it to track and then used it to track her and then posted photo and tagged apple posted a photo and tagged apple airtags photo posted a airtags in the photo posted a photo a taco truck outside photo of a taco truck outside her house. really simple . so her house. really simple. so i don't know if they should have said it was hughes of said that it was hughes of travis texas. travis county, texas. that's probably given away, isn't it sound? i mean, apple or apple responsible for creating the technology? it's saying technology? well, it's saying here the weapon here they become the weapon of choice stalkers abusers choice of stalkers and abusers along binoculars , a long along with binoculars, a long photo that shouldn't really be appetising then be. appetising. it then should be. well, i not. the problem well, i guess not. the problem is apples just so darn is that apples are just so darn easy they are. that's. easy to use. they are. that's. that's problem that even that's the problem is that even they're facilities and they're stalking facilities and they've oh, we didn't they've said like, oh, we didn't make for people to sort of make it to for people to sort of anticipated how it could be exploited most and they're charging 35 quid for it. yeah. i mean on. well within mean come on. well within a stalkers. well let's see that. see the apple the adverts that they putting out. okay. they were putting out. okay. well, to on now well, we're going to move on now to well we've all
