got a waiting at the moment of 7.2 million. so even though it sounds of appointments sounds like lot of appointments are be missed this is are going to be missed this is really the ocean of really a drop in the ocean of sort of the pyramid crisis. we've got in the nhs. but yeah, the asking for 19, a 19% pay the are asking for 19, a 19% pay rise which is a big whack you know listen that's a lot but they're saying that they haven't huds and pay rises line with inflation and in line with sector pay over the last so this would sort of help them catch up but i think that's pretty unlikely 19% is 9. yeah, but they're saying that is to sort of catch them up to that 20. although i did have look at some figures that was that was slightly misleading where it was actually , it was more like 32% actually, it was more like 32% like they'd gone up 20% over like they'd gone up by 20% over the last ten years. but inflation has 32, that inflation has up 32, if that makes sense right, it was like more like but it looks like more like 10. but it looks like have got a lot of public support. there's been a of support. there's been a lot of today and it's like yeah . today and it's like yeah. something short of a hung this is how we measure success . yes is how we measure success. yes people have been honking at their placards and it seems that

they are in support. you've got your finger on pulse i guess to make it interesting, there's nothing there's no we for somebody like me doesn't support to show disapproval why what can i do there's only the horn on the car you know really you think needs to be a special cause keep just support and they also get back to work old cars out of a new dawn that says i don't support the strike okay fagerbakke video player . up fagerbakke video player. next up is times . okay, tell accra. is the times. okay, tell accra. oh, yes, it's telegraph. so telegraph also with the nhs on high alert for flu outbreak. exactly lee has just said so is one of the worst outbreaks of the virus in recent years . at the virus in recent years. at the virus in recent years. at the moment flu hospitalisations actually overtaken covid. so this is pretty big news and data shows the success story right for country covid was always just a bit of a flu really, wasn't it there's a huge amount and the data shows that there are now 6.76 per 100,000 people

in england compared to 6.61 per 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck. 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck . but yeah, 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck. but yeah, in 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck . but yeah, in the 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck. but yeah, in the past 100,000 for covid. so neck and neck . but yeah, in the past week neck. but yeah, in the past week we've gone . from 966 to 1377 flu we've gone. from 966 to 1377 flu patients . so yeah, they're patients. so yeah, they're saying isn't this going to be the worst time leo or something. 2018 and that was the biggest death song. yeah. well yeah because everybody's getting older and fatter and less healthy. so the kind of spike so no you've you've on the paleo diet whatever which unfortunately doesn't involve paying unfortunately doesn't involve paying anything but and so we've had two winters of lockdown so people about mingling and spreading the flu and also our immune systems got weak. we've become weak little jellyfish people living in a little living rooms and watching netflix when we should have been out there, we should have been out there, we should have been out there looking hungry and, you know , looking hungry and, you know, fornicating. when you add this, though to that, i believe some other came saying other story came out saying that there'd cancer there'd been 10,000 more cancer than would normally be this yeah than would normally be this year. so that shows another

price of covid. and then obviously got the strep anything going on. you've got insulin running , mental health. we've running, mental health. we've got to lead cognition in children . they couldn't see children. they couldn't see people's faces learning to talk. there's so there's so many things going to really negative impacts of mental figures is showing that the nhs on one helplines it's now got to the point where half of calls are being because people just can't wait any longer. i'm tired of it . too weak to do the what.7 like why . long yeah, but i just did why. long yeah, but i just did an old rotary and it's a click background. i said, we'll how the story of the big one here it's about spies who expose. oh yeah actually it's all kicking off in europe so on again again belgian spies are investigating widespread foreign interference in eu decision making when they uncovered corruption and bribery scandal that has engulfed the european don't turn the country's secret service broke into the house of one of the key

suspects a former italian mep . suspects a former italian mep. but they discovered 700 files and euros . but they discovered 700 files and euros. have you seen those photos? oh, it's amazing that it's not seasoned hundred thousand euros from another from another read. so they're the getting millions of euros this fine. i mean, it's not fantastic, but it's quite exciting, this very sort of it's like old fashioned sort of heist type stuff because they're taking all this money, apparently qatar was bribing them in qatar. you say . yeah, them in qatar. you say. yeah, well there was a come on. they were bribing them via morocco apparently to get the wall to spread stop being racist, for going against a story about racism around of course you but yeah they're getting them they're bribing them to make qatar loot and less corrupt and kind of backfired a lot of that. the other thing that we've got a photo of william and the top and team wales put on the united front that slightly from the next paper the sun leo oh that

particular so the sun the sun has the same photo a slightly different caption i like this the traitor and the dutiful who's who. so the traitor is harry and the dutiful is against the who's the other guy ? prince the who's the other guy? prince william king william prince . william king william prince. remember them? yeah, but yes , remember them? yeah, but yes, the final three sections of this netflix mean they call it a documentary but it's not a documentary. it's a sort of is people reciting a script. yes so it's a drama. it's a drama. documentaries, when you follow people around in life, you people around in real life, you have cinema verite. you saw have the cinema verite. you saw what's happening. you show , you what's happening. you show, you don't is people don't tell. this is people telling people seeing they telling people seeing what they reckon happened. and i don't believe it . it all happened the believe it. it all happened the most surveilled people in the world. why they just shoot us with with actual footage. but the fake which has been proven from the trailer i don't if he's did you see that cressida where they were sort of going oh this is this here it actually is look at this here it actually turns these different turns out all these different bits footage paparazzi turns out all these different bits actuallye paparazzi turns out all these different bits actually from iaparazzi turns out all these different bits actually from different were actually from different events. they sort of

events. yeah, they sort of attaching them. wow have you did you mean chunks you watch this? i mean chunks it's really not thing to be perfectly honest yeah no i'm i love a dysfunctional family i don't if there's any other kind but this is hard to watch i think yeah and it's boring as well and just stuff to say this stuff that's coming through like meghan describes describes as a foreign organism . she said her foreign organism. she said her arrival led the entire thing. she means royal family going up. what is the what is it doing here? it doesn't look like us. it doesn't like us. we don't like it. get it off? us. it's all of us. feel comparison to the royal family. we move like that, she says more this is more about her state of mind than anything else she feels, you know, she's brought own to. know, she's brought her own to. and says she says that and then she says she says that palace officials felt threatened by her popularity , the by her popularity, the narcissism, the self, she's wonderful. everybody feels threatened by me because i'm the most beautiful. it's not followers on instagram sulking it love she says she's discriminated against because of the colour of our skin. think the colour of our skin. i think discriminated against of discriminated against because of

her shouldn't her personality. she shouldn't discount possibility. yeah discount that possibility. yeah it's looking that it's i mean, looking at that thing says it doesn't thing way she says it doesn't look us. that's just look like us. surely that's just as trying to claim racism like i she. oh, you don't look she she does look good looking . just does look good looking. just like i mean , that's so like i mean, that's so ridiculous i you even being nobody knew was black until she said she was she just looks like an ethnically good looking actress . the world. yeah yeah. actress. the world. yeah yeah. it's ridiculous . did you see the it's ridiculous. did you see the bit where they don't read the text they. oh, wow i will have to with this later junior. text they. oh, wow i will have to with this later junior . the to with this later junior. the sequel please. mind you we talking about it which is where they're going to go from here. the blue and all the middle of a man a fuss this are all families tax will be sent right more let's go to the daily style crest and i got to say do love this photo the early start can be very witty this little place i don't if you can see it on the screen a very they they've got

the eye boxes and they've just put it on back of a head. it's very funny it's funny. they're funny people. what's other story, though? the other story is about boris becker, the three time wimbledon champion , if time wimbledon champion, if you've heard of him, he's freed from prison after serving eight months of his two and a half year sentence. he was jailed in april for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding assets and loans worth about half million about two and a half million after declared bankrupt. so after he declared bankrupt. so he's from britain he's to be deported from britain back to his native germany . and back to his native germany. and the reports are that he's going to give tell all interview to give a tell all interview back in germany to munich based broadcaster as part of a six figure. do something all that money back. i think be okay i think it's been to harry and meghan he's got some funds. so this is good news, surely for emigres and. right. we've got one person . yeah. i mean, i one person. yeah. i mean, i think it's shame that these criminals are out in the streets so quickly and free to do the. he's not. he's been sent back. he's not. he's been sent back. he's gone free to do the tennis commentary. yeah. i mean, he's

obviously got a lot of children to pay maintenance for. so i mean, it's good that he's and earning well relate earning again. well i can relate to that right that is front pages expertly dissected . join pages expertly dissected. join us after the break where we find the best place to have a heart attack. we make leo happy for his living choices. and good news flyers out there, news for flyers out there, assuming they make it to the assuming they can make it to the airport the baggage airport and the baggage handlers are seem .

to welcome back the headliners me josh howie and average hi if you're standing next to them leo kearse and chris the western starting with friday sun and cressida does this mean we might actually have to go visit our families. it's looking possible there is some hope for commuters or not. i hope if that's where you it. members of the tsa union have voted overwhelmingly in

favour of taking the rail companies offer and off strikes so that's that's looking good obviously they were set to wreak havoc on commuters on christmas travellers . yeah so they're travellers. yeah so they're going to take this off this offer of most a rise of 9% over two years. that's 5% this year, 4% next year. and those on the lowest salaries will see an 11% bump to their pay packets . so bump to their pay packets. so what that mean the average train driver now what that mean the average train driver no w £1 billion? well, driver now £1 billion? well, this is tsa. this is managers apparently there's three different real unions, at least different. there's the tsa , different. there's the tsa, aslef and rmt. and apparently you're an employee of the rail networks can see there's some sort of choice. there's personal choice between which union you join, which love, that there's a free market actually joining a union. the unions try and make sure that there isn't a free market, but but yeah. so tsa covers managers , so they're just covers managers, so they're just sitting behind the flight controller. they behind computers. they just go to meetings. any biscuits aslef is

the drivers there also, but they sit behind some buttons and press them. they open the and make the train go and stuff like that and then rmt is the crew. so they clean the toilets and stuff, i say. but from my understanding of this cressida , understanding of this cressida, the rmt haven't agreed . is that the rmt haven't agreed. is that right? so we still are going to have strikes? yeah, because unless like one of the cleaners can drive the train and they probably wouldn't allow that even like anybody could even though like anybody could drive yeah, could. drive training. yeah, i could. i could i'm of course could have a go. i'm of course you could you'd be amazing amazing train driver but you probably wouldn't into the probably wouldn't fit into the carriage. now carriage. so what's that now understand? this right that understand? is this right that there understand? is this right that ther e £5,000 from the strikes ? there £5,000 from the strikes? apparently. yeah. so good. apparently. yeah. so good. apparently as well but you're saying is a mick lynch mick lynch is on £84,000 a year. meanwhile all members will lose an average 0 f £5,000 for an average of £5,000 for striking. so i think support for hmic isn't isn't it looking great. so i will they're going to get that back i guess in the

in the pay raise again and also the time off. so it's almost like it's unpaid leave. i mean the nice break but i mean they have been offered this extra money really this this money now really this this proves that point of sticking together . they stick together together. they stick together and they get the money that feel that they deserve. surely that's justice then, but it doesn't mean they it doesn't mean they deserve. it doesn't mean they deserve. it doesn't mean that they've like mean that they've hired like they it they've they deserved. it means they've got to do that. and i got the power to do that. and i think to do think having power to do something that, like i'm something like that, like i'm like a mafia could do, is actually bad thing. so, you know, much more a know, we have much more of a free and we should be free market and we should be real more to real companies be more free to go in there make the technological progress to get rid of some of these pointless stuff right onto the daily mail now. and leo those nurses just can't help themselves, can they . yes. 100,000 nurses braved temperatures as low as minus eighteen c on this in the summer recess. you are going to strike in the summer then if you go on strike in the summer, you don't to you don't get the ruin. people's christmas isn't killing

it now. yes, yes. but yes. they walked out their picket walked out in their own picket lines. some of their own lines. well, some of their own picket some of them picket lines, some of them probably watching probably at home watching netflix working and get netflix and some working and get a load of this. so there's a picket line outside bristol royal infirmary by royal infirmary and a passer by supped royal infirmary and a passer by slipped and hurt themselves and they give emergency first they were give emergency first aid but nurses i knew they were faking i this was a fix if faking i knew this was a fix if saw who needed some saw somebody who needed some still to 10 minutes they still had to 10 minutes they fell out the hospital there's 100,000 nurses there and it still does all of that away just to get the details. yeah nurses are do have more sympathy for because their pay has fallen you have sympathy because this was similar to my blue i nurses are useful i think nurses do a good job and the nation actually needs them and they are underpaid i think nurses are underpaid. you tell by look underpaid. you can tell by look at says collins pointed out at it, says collins pointed out that the she thinks nurses are leaving for jobs in supermarkets retail. but if the average nurse i googled it sends 33 to 35 k you don't get for working in

tesco. yeah i'm working retail is hard but i imagine the difference is it's not just a pay difference is it's not just a pay thing i mean how hard these people that the stress literally life and death in low parents could pinch and i mean it's not all doom and gloom but the thing that makes me think that there they're underpaid is the fact there's 50,000 vacancies. and those vacancies wouldn't exist if there was market equilibrium and there are more people encouraged to go into jobs. so i think, you know , we've got to think, you know, we've got to accept that if we privatise the health care system, doctors, nurses would be paid a lot . in nurses would be paid a lot. in america, nurses are paid a lot more and australia nurses are paid lot . so this is paid a lot. so saying this is a comic , normally i'm seen as comic, normally i'm seen as a who cares, we don't work for money. do you work for ? i work money. do you work for? i work for love, adoration for laughter, which i didn't get last night . work for money. but last night. work for money. but i mean, do you think the government is wrong here to not be negotiating? it seems very churlish of what they negotiated north of the border . that's what north of the border. that's what for them they are asking for

this 90. they don't think they're going to get it and. they've just said, look, let's just talk about money. colin goes the actual meeting and goes into the actual meeting and they government flatly they just the government flatly just it's fair . just refused. so it's not fair. and i think we're coming to this a bit on that they've got a bit later on that they've got more support that we're more support and that we're coming to it later. but yeah, exactly the even their own the tories are beginning to turn sunak and say you need to get in the room, you need to sit. yeah, you need to have conversation. good. well friday's guardian next and is this while you live on a boat ? i next and is this while you live on a boat? i wondered if i was going to get brought up. yeah one in four private rentals in failed to meet decent homes . one failed to meet decent homes. one in four. i bet those are the ones with housemates. which is why live on a boat. oh is it solitary conventional plumbing? why don't you live in a boot? live right? do you really do? it's quite common in london now. you know, i live in a house. you live in a house? yeah. well, the person. yeah, but you've been working at gb news longer. is it

not called for . like that's the. not called for. like that's the. no well are the big kids that make you up so have the red lights. so go where. that's the question. everybody has to empty your toilet with a hose and a bucket so moving on. can we just get answers to those questions before deal with this. people think it's got a fire. it's lovely and warm. i that toilet is character building but you don't have housemates . hey, don't have housemates. hey, there you go. okay, fine we've done we've done the interesting stuff. let's get to the story. so this this story is in the wake of very sadly, a recently a toddler died. thanks for making me look terrible the jesus help you got your revenge i got revenge data from the english housing survey released thursday highlights the poor state of the private rental sector . 23% of private rental sector. 23% of private rental sector. 23% of private rentals failing to meet the decent home standards . yes, the decent home standards. yes, sorry. 13. sorry, 10. in social housing. so huge difference . housing. so huge difference. yeah.i housing. so huge difference. yeah. i mean, a lot of these

articles have been about social housing. yeah. and the need to look into it, but then it turns. the private rental sector is actually much worse. we've got a house housing a housing house housing crisis, a housing catastrophe in the uk and obviously the population is growing the time because you growing all the time because you know, so all know, we've got open. so all those people to somewhere those people to live somewhere and the landlords don't have vincent to sort of invest in making houses liveable because they know they're going to get tenants . so until until they know they're going to get tenants. so until until until we this well it's not going to it's not going to go away. well how is it being addressed? well, for one thing, things are improving. i think they would anyway, wouldn't building wouldn't it, with building brexit, you touch brexit, every time you touch a bit, i think they improving in the last ten years but over the last three they haven't. last three years they haven't. and winter and especially this winter is going really because going to be really tough because energy so high so energy prices are so high so people going have the people aren't going to have the central on. that means central heating on. that means damp is to damp and mould is going to proliferate that proliferate on top of that private rentals, they have less incentive to sort of put an insulation glazing insulation and a double glazing all yeah i've got i've all of that. yeah i've got i've got damp and well there was

mould and i'm in a private rental but it's because it's a listed building so they can't put the double glazing with with a, a brick a thermal brick. mr. diy . so it's not always, you diy. so it's not always, you know, it's not always because evil , bad know, it's not always because evil, bad landlords sometimes it's the buildings the uk times when you earn enough to live in a listed building there's reasons for the buildings in the uk aren't always built for cold and damp, which is surprising considering it's cold and damp here it's the government are going to this to private the decent home standards to private housing. so okay, well , let's housing. so okay, well, let's see if they actually do it maybe and build some houses and live and build some houses and live and dream. let's have a look at this story in the times and leo but you're happy they kick you out scotland right? i am actually. yeah. so workers are paid medium to high salaries and. scotland soon be even and. scotland will soon be even more tax than they would more income tax than they would if lived in the uk. so the if they lived in the uk. so the snp are putting tax rates up in

and the uk as a whole we're already paying like highest tax in history since the second world war and highest tax some of the highest tax in europe, the higher tax than sweden , the higher tax than sweden, norway, i believe. so the higher rate is being raised a penny in scotland . 41% to 42. and then scotland. 41% to 42. and then the even rate, the highest rate is going from 46 to 47. so means if you're a high earner in even if you're a high earner in even if you're a medium married, i mean, a schoolteacher could be earning, you know, 40 odd grand. so you go you're going to be hit with higher bill and if you're an extremely high earners, you're going to to move to you're going to want to move to england enormous own goal england is an enormous own goal by the they're driving the by the snp they're driving the making scotland less of it less of economic viable is already it's already got a you know a pretty rupee economy but they're driving out the wealth creators, the businessmen and business women and business non binaries the jury whales generate the jobs and keep running is so easy

you just move an hour south from in you're in northumberland . in you're in northumberland. yeah well i mean down london and get a boat say okay so all the rich people are going to maybe move out of scotland then all five of them. but the good news is that then all trans people are going to move to scotland. so i'll that. surely wow. so i'll offset that. surely wow. so i'll offset that. surely wow. so i'm trump. are you in it? you put me in earlier i'm pretty straight but right in it so you trans people don't earn enough money to live in say no you earn loads and another well another interesting thing about is so nicola sturgeon's on the snp is crumbling and the scottish parliament actually suspended over these leaks about the tax rate going up . so this shows the rate going up. so this shows the fight to suspend parliament. you know, she's trying to stop the leaks. she on the way out. yeah well you really believe that. i mean i study. i mean snp are breaking a manifesto pledge here right. do you what what do you think. do you think the are finally of starting see finally kind of starting to see behind her of strict

behind her veneer of strict matron. i think quite yeah i mean it's not on is it. and the amount of money the snp get from scotland , from the rest of the scotland, from the rest of the uk to the extra money of the barnett formula , so they get an barnett formula, so they get an extra 26% i think is per head of population . so that means money population. so that means money should mean nobody pays tax and scottish should be like do buy you know what i mean? but steve, what happens to the money? i don't know where it's well, where way prescriptions where is the way prescriptions free university i mean surely it just makes fair that the just makes it fair that the people the vote get people know the vote they get those should pay those benefits they should pay that . yeah but that extra tax. yeah but the people getting benefits people getting the benefits aren't the people paying the extra so well go to the uk. extra tax so well go to the uk. what we've, what we've got here is so you're a teacher or cleaner, you're going to, you, you're going to be taxed more to pay you're going to be taxed more to pay for you know posh kid pay for some you know posh kid to studies degree was to do gender studies degree was there's in that there's no justice in that system so maybe you want to do some stupid degree pay for yourself. okay and so we yourself. okay okay. and so we come the halfway a.k.a come to the halfway point a.k.a tipping join in two for tipping point, join in two for

trump tick tock trans a.k.a typical . see that .

welcome back kick off with the financial times and press the finally i can go on a flight with all my hair products. yes yes, you can. because i'm born banks print . yeah. uk airports banks print. yeah. uk airports are going to scrap restrictions on liquids. yay right two litres. well tell all your hair products, possibly all your scotch. i wrote a passages passing through uk airports fail to ditch their tiny toiletries and leave liquids and electronics inside the cabin bags under changes to security rules. these are going to be introduced for two years, so don't get too excited . the don't get too excited. the

department for transport thursday said airports had until june 2024 to install new technology scan passengers hand luggage and this can scan through shampoo to see if it's semtex apparently because it wouldn't make sense because ever brought down an airbus with a fun sized bottle of herbal essences this whole farrago where we don't have to put everything in a little pouch and i mean, do you think this has been unnecessary what we've gone through the that we have suffered over the was it 15 suffered over the last was it 15 years, 20 years or so. yeah. how do you think should have do you think they should have done was they did find with done that was they did find with some thing or is there it some liquid thing or is there it was introduced 2006 2000 has been a 16 years just it's been what a pain i'm watching old having to take their shoes off and stuff mean how many broken hips if we suffer as a result of they loved watching you take your off this is amazing people have forgotten how to do it in the lockdown you know people got worse at travelling and more people bringing that tiny people are bringing that tiny toilet sorry, bringing that toilet. sorry, not bringing that tiny just people are

tiny toilet. just people are turning having turning up and having stuff taken in the taken off them because in the lockdown they've forgotten how to travel and not amazing. i mean, must millions of mean, they must have millions of pounds of vaseline and as pounds worth of vaseline and as i so i buy it from now they probably a lot of money over those reselling that stuff on record. yeah yeah i mean the people i feel sorry for course the boots we just charge. yeah but you get through the other side and finally you can stock up again. it's incredibly the green people love a less green people love a lot less plastic, isn't well i'm very plastic, isn't it? well i'm very excited. i think it's more because you got a buy holiday now, i know that you've now, leo, i know that you've laid the past, but as laid into trump the past, but as friday's guardian taking it too far, disrespecting the big dog. so donald trump is quite a strange move from trump. i know he needs funds because he's got a of legal cases coming up and he likes lawyers but he likes expensive lawyers but he's he's been marked he's brought he's been marked for these are for bringing it these are superhero that cost $9 each he made this video it looks like something this is it looks like he's dressed a superhero and the

video he's got laser beams that come from his eyes . he's come from his eyes. he's standing in front of trump tower mean he's stuck his head on my body. it's absolutely ridiculous. and this one man character that is this stuff is a but so nft character that is this stuff is a but so net is which means a bit but so net is which means it's some sort of non—fungible whatever that means but . yeah he whatever that means but. yeah he says all this there's this thing of the collectable may well be actually you know a bit like 20 years time they will be worth money because it's such a you this of this moment purchasing some i mean you can win so you can win. if you purchase it, you get entered into a prize draw and you can win dinner with him. you can win a zoom with no, no i was to wow when you said that before i was like ready buy a couple. but the fact that i might have to end up having dinner with him, that might be this you have to your this is why you have to your children's drawings on the fridge. so this kind of fridge. you know so this kind of really years really didn't happen years later. this, this a sign later. i mean, this, this a sign of being genuinely desperate

of him being genuinely desperate funds, a sign of him funds, i think is a sign of him just he likes money and, he likes having fun. and he's definitely, you know, making money fun, money and having fun, fair enough. mean, there is a enough. but i mean, there is a slight to this whole story because announced because he sort of announced i've major announcement i've got a major announcement and there's and yeah, there's this idea crying that he does crying wolf that when he does have major have a genuine major announcement , people aren't announcement, people aren't going to be that bothered. but trump's going to be like i've got got a medium got i've got a medium announcement. not announcement. he's not he's not announcement. he's not he's not a sized announcement kind a medium sized announcement kind of is 100, 110% of guy. everything is 100, 110% volume. said now is going to volume. i said now is going to be upping himself be each upping himself constantly, 20% 30. and you constantly, 20% to 30. and you know, i think i'm gonna buy a couple let's head over to i news and cressida it seems like tick tock is really like bad like you know it is like really like bad tick tock recommends eating videos to teenagers with minutes of signing up reports. it's not good this . this comes in the good this. this comes in the wake of , the death of a 14 year wake of, the death of a 14 year old molly russell, a british schoolgirl who took her own life after self—harm posts on instagram and her father told

the findings in the centre for counter countering digital hate report was shocking but not surprising . so it looks like the surprising. so it looks like the us teenagers are signing to these services. the saying eating related content. within 8 minutes of signing up and once they're once they're seen as a vulnerable use, this only increases doesn't decrease. well this is all algorithms i know you have thoughts about tiktok i pretty much agree with this. the chinese government is behind this, they're doing whatever they can to destabilise and harm our youth . so if it's you know our youth. so if it's you know either either you know trans ideology and convincing all the all the kids that they're the and the need to take puberty and sterilise themselves or in this case self—harming or eating disorders. although i mean we've got to balance it with the fact that there a lot of obese teenagers out there. so maybe a few of them, you know, we don't know if it's saved lives from cardiac as well as, you know, maybe cause some lives. i think

so i think that reading in the article , the third of 5 to 7 article, the third of 5 to 7 year olds are on tik tok or go on to techno surely parents to take some blame in it. one of the parents we would 5 to 7 year who's got a mobile insurance policy the dad ian russell . but policy the dad ian russell. but i'm saying for younger. oh yes the mum's but yeah like know i totally agree with you. what are letting their kids go and tik tok satan i was in i love my tok is satan i was in i love my first exercise video till i was 11. i remember that it says here almost a third of british teenagers so are older kids. yeah i thought to use tiktok on a daily basis and the news consumption . 2021 to 2020 to consumption. 2021 to 2020 to more teenagers . the uk get their more teenagers. the uk get their news from video platform than the bbc or itv. well let me just say so. it's probably more accurate then i would just like to say tiktok is a wonderful social media tool and it's great

to see you guys on the one final thing i will say about this, asking for a move on. i don't know why they covered it like this in the eye, but it turns out they talking about eating disorders taking 8 minutes before it starts showing up on your then suicide rates your feed. then suicide rates content and minutes. content two and a half minutes. so bit more worrying so those seems bit more worrying to wonder why to me. yeah, i wonder why they've decided to go down that route of like anyway, just what is suicide content on is their suicide content on tiktok in the first place? i mean, putting there? mean, who's putting out there? why probably less why is it probably less obviously the algorithm tweaked to to children. it's to deliver to children. it's either the chinese either run by the chinese communist party or it's run by the canadian health care. but this need things the this is you need things like the social safety online bill. social the safety online bill. but course, that brings but then, of course, that brings own dangers. yeah, absolutely anyway, daily mail next anyway, friday's daily mail next and even though i can't read and leo even though i can't read this seems yes so a book a transgender toddler who identify faces a girl despite the parents insisting child is a boy is featured on reading list . featured on reading list. stonewall is an lgbtq charity. for more . yeah, it's got more of

for more. yeah, it's got more of an emphasis on, the t and the q and the plus than the lgb. so this is on the reading list for children young as two. well, number one, if your tune is reading, well done , but also reading, well done, but also should you putting transgender propaganda putting these ideas into a two year old's head so it's about it's all about, you know this , this kid who wants to know this, this kid who wants to use it like, a boy or whatever, but wants to wear dresses. the mum says being a boy, boys don't wear dresses, blah, blah, blah and know, this would be fine and you know, this would be fine . was like, yeah, fine. you . it was like, yeah, fine. you like boys because you wear whatever wherever whatever you want, wherever you whatever you want, wherever you whatever do, makes whatever you want to do, makes you happy. but as if you feel happy. but the as if a boy that you've got all boy does that you've got all these pink haired nose ringed , these pink haired nose ringed, lgbtq ambassadors in schools and primary teachers and stuff who thinks in that child and insist that it's transgender because it's displayed some sort of nonconforming gender and gender characteristic and then funnel it onto into transitioning with

puberty blockers and sterilise . puberty blockers and sterilise. so they're basically doing the job of the chinese government. i mean, i'll give you a book like this reduces gender this it reduces gender stereotypes to these ridiculous things like oh i want to wear a dress cos i am a girl. yeah, i mean is that, is that all it takes. yeah. nice dress. so good to be seen. yeah exactly . i mean to be seen. yeah exactly. i mean i agree. i think it's quite patronising isn't it. to, to make it so simple. i'm sure it isn't simple. people who are actually going through that, i mean whether they're any cases they might be the occasional child that finds helpful. oh yeah. no obviously. child that finds helpful. oh yeah. no obviously . yeah. but yeah. no obviously. yeah. but it's the ones that you know for some for some children. and that could very well be the i'm not sure you can really the age of two and i'm not sure it is a goodidea two and i'm not sure it is a good idea be sort of putting these ideas and is at the age of two when they rare this whole trans sort of took over we're literally talking about tens of thousands of people of young men. yeah identifying. well i

love the chairman of the campaign for real education, chris mcgurk, christopher. he's come out and said regard to identity. the only lesson they need to be taught is that they should treat others as they would wish to be treated. and i think that's bit maybe it's oversimplistic it's also just true children are simple and that's exactly what they need to be taught. thing that be taught. the thing that frustrates many things in frustrates are many things in this have this article. finally, you have stonewall going get it giving their statement and they bring it all the way back to section 28, is their way of trying 28, which is their way of trying to this whole thing with to equate this whole thing with , some terrible , you know, some terrible legislate and homophobic legislation making it about that when this is not the same argument as that well this is actually stonewall are actually being the homophobes here because they you any child because they see you any child that any of that displays any sort of knowledge conforming knowledge or conforming characteristics you know a child a boy you acts a bit feminine as trans and you've got to you've to do a lot of a lot of gay or lesbian boys and girls will display characteristics from the

from the opposite gender. so this really is really stonewall there being this sort of regressive gender and also sort of eliminating eliminating the generation of gay boys and yes, stonewall cresta. let's have a look at the story in the telegraph. and surely the best thing about trans rights activists is they're really respectful and open debating women's rights. these guys they're killing. it is great trans rights activist spark outcry after storming lecture in protest at documents so this in edinburgh they were trying to screen the film add a screening of adult human female which is a film that challenges transgender ideology examines opposition to it in the uk and it was actually cancelled as a result of these protesters so . about ten protesters so. about ten activists occupy the lectures theatre and just prevented it from from taking . having said from from taking. having said that there are plans to screen

it again in the future so it looks like it going to be with a protester as well. well, yeah it reminds me of the sort of religious puritans who'd go in protest against the things that went their ideology , went against their ideology, against against their against women, against their religion. the religion. you're the last temptation christ life , temptation of christ or life, brian. and they stand outside the theatre to sure nobody the theatre to make sure nobody could and really is could go in and really is actually advertising this actually advertising for this film of this film. i wasn't aware of this film. i wasn't aware of this film. no i really want to see it. and also i saw video on twitter of one of the protestors, one of the trans activists, robyn and had a dog by name. but the trans non—binary liberation officer , non—binary liberation officer, the university of edinburgh students, the siouxsie and she brendan she attendees a c she i mean she with a big chin and claimed to be a trans woman and that's all human female but it's obviously mind anybody at robyn with me well i got full with you tell me well i got full respect for transgender people who the effort and at least who put the effort and at least meet me halfway robyn is not one of those people i'm sorry you look in a frock that

look like done in a frock that was well i don't even was a joke well i don't even know if she was wearing a frog. i mean happy to not. you say i mean i'm happy to not. you say meet people halfway but when he's or she standing there, he's just literally i'm a i'm an aduh just literally i'm a i'm an adult human would be like yeah make you've got long hair and you're being quite aggressive as well. but she , she, she can do well. but she, she, she can do this comes amid huge controversy in scotland over transgender rights with a crunch vote on legislation that would allow scots to change their legal sex simply by signing a declaration . so it hasn't come in. and i don't know if . she has a gender don't know if. she has a gender recognition . but the point is , recognition. but the point is, whatever the how you want to call her her behaviour is wrong and shutting down debate , and shutting down debate, shutting down a bunch of leftie women who want to watch a film . women who want to watch a film. yeah. and a biological male who's larger and stronger and intimidating in to a women's

space and telling telling that they can do . it's great. it they can do. it's great. it just, it just shows the patriarchy always wins . so. patriarchy always wins. so. well, i'll tell you what. you had a nice of decades to see that, but now we're back. we look at jackie's back now , this look at jackie's back now, this is the final word from the university as part of our commitment to freedom of expression and academic freedom. it our duty to make sure all it is our duty to make sure all staff and students feel able to discuss controversial topics and the eight and eight event follows allows for debate. well, i'm sad to say that. the university of edinburgh utterly failed on that day and i hope that in the future they actually redeem themselves. yeah. time for 2 minutes of the free market economy. return to free dosh economy. we return to free dosh . peter andre turning grinch . . peter andre turning grinch. and can you judge a person by their in a job application .

welcome back to the final part of headliners leo the sun now and this is really such a bad story at least kids getting off our screens right so this is the one of the researchers who they the best way to convince the pubuc the best way to convince the public that racism is a real problem. no is all about how children stealing our cars . children stealing our cars. fantastic. i'm glad that you were listening to me an interval that we were talking about one. why do we the others the best story? because we felt like it was too much on the money for you. right. so apparently some kids whose kids are stealing cars close called let's get on a quest talk about these cars talk about these little thieves, children stealing shocking number of children. a stealing cars with some as young as ten caught. what's this? how to stop yours, baby? i'm back on never mind how to stop it being nicked am absolutely stunned. i was 22 and this is famous when you first look 22. when i first pass

my driving test, i five tests if you can steal a car at ten i mean are we overlooking some success the i mean leo, what do you think about this i mean they call it here a gateway crime, surely stealing cars . yeah. is surely stealing cars. yeah. is just pretty . yeah. i mean, just pretty. yeah. i mean, apparently they're stealing cars.i apparently they're stealing cars. i mean, i guess maybe some of them put the they in wrong in the insurance form. i don't know. okay the yeah. did you read the. well that was the thing about hair the thing they were saying about deterrent deterrents for people see one of them the surprised me most was they were saying cleanliness if you clean your car that make people oh no my leslie and i thought it would be the other way around. i leave my car deliberately in a state because i'm like look how rubbish is, leave alone. but they're leave this alone. but they're saying might they saying that might make they want to go what's there, to go what's actually there, what's underneath all that rubbish if you big coat the other one is bollards, cctv other one is get bollards, cctv installed in your installed bollards in your own drive don't don't drive just they don't don't actually you have actually a driveway do you have actually a driveway do you have a now . yeah you did.

a car now. yeah okay you did. it's gone now. no, it was into last year and the police did nothing really. i there was about two and a half crowns with about two and a half crowns with a camera gear which is stupidly left. i really was left. i guess i really was invisible but yeah . okay. car invisible. but yeah. okay. car crime is bad . invisible. but yeah. okay. car crime is bad. i invisible. but yeah. okay. car crime is bad . i can't believe we crime is bad. i can't believe we told the story so . the big told the story so. the big story. oh, i filed. you know. no, let's quickly do the story then. want to talk about then. you want to talk about this. this is this is about jobs and discrimination by ethnic minorities . convince the public minorities. convince the public about racism. so basically have been researching to find what's the best way to convince the pubuc the best way to convince the public that racism is a huge and requires me of change. so when they find that if they tell about a study that explodes it exposes discrimination faced by job applicants that convinces people that racism is a real problem, why they doing a study to find out best way to convince people that racism is a real problem because. i think some people are convinced that no racism at all. but this is i mean, this is the tail wagging the dog. this is the only

they've done they've done they haven't done studies that show, you know, widespread racist attitudes. they've done attitudes. they've they've done studies 40% of people studies that show 40% of people believe that some races or ethnic groups are naturally , you ethnic groups are naturally, you know, displaying certain aptitudes or this up to choose in certain areas. so i mean at football teams you'd naturally assume, you know black people could be more better at football . so i don't think that's a hugely racist to see. that's, that's, you know but why not start with saying it's all this is talking how like in this study in 2019 study from oxford university they sent out a bunch of application forms. and the fact people with sounding fact is people with sounding names or sound they were from different ethnicities got a less positive response than not. that would arguably that there is such a thing as racism in this country. i think we are very fair country, but we're looking things like that. i think that's a very interesting sustainable but i mean pretty much every department, every each department, every each department has got a system where you anonymous never been

through when i a proper job through when i a properjob i didn't go through a system where you weren't anonymous and let's face it if you're going for a job in an advert on british tv it's not going to hold you back. okay. well you know, i thought the study, the trend of find the best to idea is best way to sell this idea is like why are you trying to convince that racism convince everybody that racism is like i said well is huge like i said well i didn't i'm saying that didn't i'm not saying that they're saying a huge they're saying it's a huge problem. they said it was a problem. they said it was a problem. they're trying to create narrative create this narrative that racism problem. and racism is a huge problem. and we're incredibly racist we're an incredibly racist country. like, okay, country. it's like, okay, why are doing all this? this is are they doing all this? this is the i with the what's driver? i agree with you. there are people who are pushing narrative. i'm not pushing that narrative. i'm not sure that's study is sure that that's this study is about, think it's good about, but i think it's a good thing it. there is thing he says it. there is racism confront it is my racism to confront it is my point this the fun section sticking with the sun cressida this is fun. do i need to go to down gym? gym sparked so down gym? well gym sparked so much outrage even has paint thrown over it . an advert for a thrown over it. an advert for a gym that could fat and ugly has provoked so much outrage . right. provoked so much outrage. right. but it didn't exactly do that.

let me fight. where is advert? so this is contrast. oh, here it is. we've got the advert. it is jim advert sparked so much even as both ran away. there it is. and it says so what it says is tired of being fat and ugly. no, just be ugly. that's the perfect job. nice jokes and adverts. a misprint adverts funny. instead of trying to lecture us on a racist. we are something people not having it this thrown paint over the border be the over the border and be the breath through not somebody breath through it not somebody else's right over they've written this is bad mental and think they thought it not only are they actually in fact can't even spell okay over to the mirror and leo wasn't it nude shots of you driving drinking pints of milk that got you this job? i've got i've got no idea of what these entries mean. i could be on the wrong story. british women backpacking around australia received backlash on social after sharing an image of herself while herself in a bikini while looking for bartender work. do we have the pic ? we don't have we have the pic? we don't have the pink gold just going
