after talks with government. he said he would like see improved proposals on pay working conditions for its . but rishi conditions for its. but rishi sunak says lynch is causing misery to millions. sunak says lynch is causing misery to millions . and of misery to millions. and of course you can join in any of our discussions by gb news gbnews.uk or by tweeting at gb news. daredevil . news. daredevil. have you ever noticed how the metropolitan liberal elite seem love wishing everyone a peaceful eid a happy diwali , a happy eid a happy diwali, a happy hanukkah? but they'll go out of their way to avoid saying merry christmas . to their way to avoid saying merry christmas. to me, this seems like old fashioned racism . like old fashioned racism. anything foreign is to be celebrated as exotic, but anything british is to be denigrated as imperialist. it's patronising. it's counterproductive . with counterproductive. with christianity becoming a minority

. the uk. you'd think we'd start to see some of the same positive action provided other protected minority groups. but alas, that is not the case. the university of brighton has issued a statement week advising lecturers . to buy the word lecturers. to buy the word a religious walk . why would the religious walk. why would the same not be the case for. the defender of the free sun? to the current defender and brother and uncle. to future governors of the church of england , i find it the church of england, i find it quite extraordinary to read that joyful holiday season called which holiday i'll be off somewhere. it doesn't work anyway, because the word holiday is an amalgamation of holy day. the 12 days of christmas are the

holiest outside of easter. happy holiday. happy holiday. is there still a subtle jonathan nation? iused still a subtle jonathan nation? i used to think was all hyperbole. no one was trying to cancel christmas nor trying to get rid of christmas. i used say, but now i think that's clearly not the case. i think there is overt attempt to take out of christmas . we see it all out of christmas. we see it all around us. frankly describe it as quite sinister, if not evil . as quite sinister, if not evil. i don't think it's out . a i don't think it's out. a misguided attempt to offending people either. the simply anti—christian christou phobic, if you like . i think it's a form if you like. i think it's a form of religious that we need to stamp out . let people celebrate stamp out. let people celebrate birth of our lord and saviour with joy. and let us welcome everyone into that wonderful celebrate and rejoice . o adonai .

celebrate and rejoice. o adonai. now conservative mp jonathan gallus has failed in attempts to get a bill through the house of commons that would have obliged the government to ignore the bill and start deporting illegal immigrants to immediately. despite defeated asylum seekers removal to say countries bill gained the support of several hi profile tory mp, including priti patel and john redwood, revealing ever present frustration amongst conservatives at the government inability to get a grip on the migrant crisis. joining me now is jonathan glass himself . thank is jonathan glass himself. thank you for taking time out of your sunday to join us, jonathan. can you give us a brief description of what your private member's bill have accomplished? of what your private member's bill fatherave accomplished? of what your private member's bill fatherave meomplished? of what your private member's bill fatherave me start shed? of what your private member's bill fatherave me start byed? well, father let me start by wishing a very merry wishing you a very merry christmas and proof that the white captured just white cross hasn't captured just yet . when down in london, yet. when you're down in london, it try infect you. i can it does try infect you. i can assure you the bill was very simple. it was copying what we did around voting did around prisoners voting rights in ten 2011 under rights back in ten 2011 under david davis and the then deputy prime minister, dominic, as well

as labour's jack straw. those days when labour were actually tough on type of issues, tough on these type of issues, in essence the idea is that we should the european court should ignore the european court human rights about and human rights ruling about and preventing us to offshore illegal migrants to rwanda and crack on regardless because in the day taking back control and taking control of our laws and our borders, something i don't think is contentious. but sadly , of course, opposition try , of course, the opposition try to turn this into some sort. , of course, the opposition try to turn this into some sort . was to turn this into some sort. was it i was called an extremist . to turn this into some sort. was it i was called an extremist. i was called a fascistic bill from a labour party that were found to be guilty of institutionalised racism towards the jewish community. so you know, talk about looking in the mirror had a piece of telegraph today saying we need to be more compassion added to illegal immigrants and asylum seekers. can you just explain why why your bill isn't not compassionate ? well, thank you . compassionate? well, thank you. it's about stopping people to put themselves in small boats and then crossing icy waters the most of the world's busiest

waters in the world and preventing them for risking their lives. and sadly obviously, where we've seen only this , people try to lose their this, people try to lose their lives. trying to stop smuggling , trading human misery. i'm trying to stop people taking risk. i'm trying to say to people there's no point coming here because deterrent, here because the deterrent, which immediately which is you'll be immediately offshore is going to offshore to rwanda, is going to kick and therefore, all that kick. and therefore, all that money going to come here money going to pay to come here will simply so might will simply wasted. so you might as come illegally, as do as well come illegally, as do many other people across the world. we couldn't wait to you, so i'm going to have to play devil's advocate on and say, why should people not be allowed to come here? why should we protect our why shouldn't we just be welcoming everybody to welcoming to everybody wants to come in great come and live in this great country? well, as you know, kelvin actually, one of the best things great is things about great britain is that we very successful that we are a very successful multicultural, multi—faith multicultural, multi —faith country proud to country that i'm very proud to be very stoke on trent. be part of, very stoke on trent. we know, a large we have, you know, a large baptist measure, methodist, we have, you know, a large b large measure, methodist, we have, you know, a large b large muslim asure, methodist, we have, you know, a large b large muslim community,�*dist, we have, you know, a large b large muslim community, a st, a large muslim community, a kashmiri population, as well as very proactive on one thing,

obviously independence for kashmir . so, obviously independence for kashmir. so, you obviously independence for kashmir . so, you know, obviously independence for kashmir. so, you know, and as well as obviously the brexit of the united kingdom and a seat which voted 73% leave the european union. i think where this country is welcoming, we've done that with ukraine, syria , done that with ukraine, syria, hong kong, afghanistan . you hong kong, afghanistan. you know, this is something that we've gone above and beyond and always will be able to. but when people are choosing to travel through safe countries, through safe third countries, make way through mainland make their way through mainland europe, when they don't to because that's baroness scotland . a former labour minister once said people claim asylum in the first safe country. they go to and let's not forget, 100 million are currently million people are currently displaced. just opens displaced. if the uk just opens up borders the labour up its borders like the labour party do there. party would insist we do there. that's awful lot people that's an awful lot of people coming putting on coming here, putting further on our housing, pressure on our housing, further pressure on our housing, further pressure on our public, on our school system, further on system, further pressure on our health . it simply health care services. it simply would unfair the taxpayers would be unfair to the taxpayers of nation. but, of this great nation. but, jonathan, are you not concerned about the damage it would cause to britain's reputation abroad if we were to simply ignore the rulings equal? well, this rulings of the equal? well, this

is where find it quite amusing because as i say, we did with prisoner voting rights for about seven and guess seven years. and guess what happens? united we happens? the united kingdom, we all just carried on as usual. i think france, germany have . think france, and germany have. a 17 to 18% derogation from the european court rulings. in fact, i think those are polls in 2020 said 45% of all european court human right rulings been ignored by of the by signatories of the convention. so. well, i'm proposing the british isn't able to and at the polls it's passed through its parliament, its sovereign parliament. it's democratically parliament, as was the whole point of taking back control. but if sir keir starmer wants his bodies in brussels to tell us how to run our country, that's his choice. but i certainly won't be trying to that i'm an mp to allow that whilst i'm an mp stoke on trent north square where until okay, done where until okay, i'm done playing devil's advocate. i'll ask now ask you right wing question now could further. could could we not go further. could we not offshore and make sure that people, immigrants that people, illegal immigrants not all not entering the country at all not entering the country at all not on british soil and should actually held in on a or a actually be held in a on a or a boat offshore like they do in australia. not do that

australia. could we not do that 7 australia. could we not do that ? opposed to any of ? i'm not opposed to any of these ideas. look, i'm these different ideas. look, i'm glad one, we're moving away from hotels, course it's not hotels, but of course it's not going stomach all to the going to be stomach all to the great british public that we're saying to saying okay from hotels to houday saying okay from hotels to holiday the obviously as holiday the holiday obviously as you've what it means you've explained what it means doesn't ring of a good doesn't exactly ring of a good way to send a message to people saying don't bother coming . i saying don't bother coming. i think what we should be doing at the least is legislate and the very least is legislate and say you land to country say if you land to country illegally, you immediately any right to able to claim asylum right to be able to claim asylum and immediately and you are immediately deported, up from deported, literally up from the dover shores , taken straight to dover shores, taken straight to the nearest airport and flown off to rwanda or other safe third countries. let's not also forget the fact that a third of these people albanians is these people are albanians is petrifying they honest these people are albanians is petri done they honest these people are albanians is petri done a they honest these people are albanians is petri done a great they honest these people are albanians is petri done a great job.y honest these people are albanians is petri done a great job. and 1est these people are albanians is petri done a great job. and lest has, done a great job. and i know about it with know you've talked about it with you, the you you, calvin, about the fact you can a flight from albania to can get a flight from albania to the uk, th e £28, if you're the uk, the £28, if you're albanian, paying four or ,5,000. that there's reason. that means there's a reason. don't know who you don't want us to know who you are. don't want force are. you don't want border force to documentation as to see your documentation as because you want to because it's because you want to because it's because you want to be for criminality. well, be here for criminality. well, that's a good suggestion. but

what these measures that what about these measures that always for always get in the courts? for example , rwanda bill was example, rwanda bill was implemented the plane was full and it was pretty much immediately because of human rights lawyers. how the rights lawyers. how can the government in government not prepare in advance for these human rights lawyers we know all lawyers that we know all activists we're activists and we know we're going challenge going to challenge the government the way government every step of the way i sadly , just i think, sadly, just a legal process. we're to have to process. we're going to have to go through. we have to respect that. and, course, tomorrow that. and, of course, tomorrow expecting to come expecting a judgement to come out. around out. i believe around there around policy high around the policy from high courts. obviously courts. and i do hope obviously we'll the positive news we'll hear the positive news that it we'll hear the positive news thatitis we'll hear the positive news that it is totally within the law. i believe it is. we passed through parliament so therefore it within the law it should be well within the law and for and obviously it's not for courts politically interfere courts to politically interfere in courts. it in judgements is for courts. it just that the wording just makes sure that the wording of legislation is good and i can't see how won't pass personally. suspect then personally. i suspect we'll then see appeal the supreme see it appeal to the supreme court, is a process will court, which is a process will have through a all respect have to go through a all respect but essentially i think that the same answer will be found, which is there's no reason why we can't flights. and we've can't do flights. and once we've got that from the supreme court, let's crack on. let's ignore

what court of human what the european court of human rights on rights tried to do on the outside that suella braverman is there anyone within governments is to get these is actually trying to get these measures and it was the same measures? and it was the same with priti patel before her is , with priti patel before her is, rishi sunak the rest of his rishi sunak and the rest of his cabinet protect borders . cabinet to protect our borders. are they fighting against ? i are they fighting against? i won't say this, farage genuinely because i've had many a conversation with him now in advance of any announcement seeing the detail that he's gone into when it comes to i do believe he understands the seriousness of this i do seriousness of this issue i do believe he's willing to go far. i do there are a few few in cabinet calvin as well as a few on the backbench. the conservative party. you might be a little bit more nervous than. i would like them to be about going as far as they should going as far hard as they should be to look as be willing to look for. as i always if we can leave, if always say, if we can leave, if we can get people offshore without to leave the without having to leave the channel happy days. but i personally think it should be an opfion personally think it should be an option on the table so if option still on the table so if worst to the worst and we worst comes to the worst and we have far us to make have to go that far us to make sure protect borders and

sure we can protect borders and enforce laws, so it. enforce our laws, then so be it. we shouldn't afraid to do we shouldn't be afraid to do anything the name of anything in the name of protecting our country, because at the end of the day, that's what sovereign nation should what any sovereign nation should be, interested in be, first of all, interested in protecting borders, protecting its borders, protecting its borders, protecting and also protecting its people, and also ensuring flourishes ensuring it flourishes around the clive, on the world. now, clive, on your knees. for saying knees. lewis is known for saying derogatory quite offensive derogatory and quite offensive things. say things. did you have to say about housing about his comments? the housing migrants disused holiday migrants and disused holiday parks was like putting them in concentration think concentration comes i think clive just so desperate to clive is just so desperate to remain relevant he'll say remain relevant that he'll say anything try and get anything in order to try and get anything in order to try and get a notoriety. i'm sure he a bit notoriety. i'm sure he loves himself in loves reading about himself in the newspaper twitter. i the newspaper on twitter. if i know he hang out and. so know he loves hang out and. so it's because he thinks that she represents the united viewpoint. it's he actually it's a shame he hasn't actually let that last an let the reality of that last an so i think thing to so i think the best thing to always with people like clive, as say your knees, lewis, as you say on your knees, lewis, is to make sure that we take everything a picture. so make sure that we understand it as best longer a leader of best as is no longer a leader of the party, that he's the labour party, and that he's bit keir starmer won't bit upset keir starmer won't give so he's got to give him a job so he's got to find ways to stay relevant elsewhere that elsewhere and i suspect that will keep him remote

will keep hearing him remote from those backbenches. the opposition for a longer opposition side for a bit longer and summary, you, bill, and in summary, you, bill, didn't it through can the didn't it through what can the government doing realistically and today to help and practically today to help protect our borders, protect our culture our and protect culture, our values, and protect our identity ? well, it our british identity? well, it interesting, isn't it, that the bill didn't pass then. i read in the sunday newspapers that is actually advocating for the very thing i've suggested in parliament, derogate parliament, which is to derogate away the european coal away from the european coal human rights worries and allegedly getting allegedly rishi sunak is getting advice on so the government whilst it didn't feel able to wait for a three line vote to support it, i hope that actually now go well thanks now go away and go well thanks jonathan taking bumps jonathan for taking the bumps and landing it. and the scrapes of landing it. well actually to do because well actually to do this because we makes sense let's we know it makes sense let's make sure that it says if you come illegally you're come here illegally you're immediately apply immediately unable to apply asylum, you're immediately offshored immediate return if you're for albanian example to albania, you're an economic migrant. prime migrant. even albania's prime minister that let's minister says that. and let's make most importantly of make sure, most importantly of all we prove the british all that we prove the british public, because public, we back control because you all the time if you set colvin all the time if we don't prove the

we don't prove that the conservative will get conservative party will get wiped next election wiped out the next election absent will all say on behalf absent it will all say on behalf of do want protect of people that do want protect our thank you, our borders. thank you, jonathan, for trying to take back that's jonathan back control. that's jonathan conservative mp for stoke on trent plenty more come conservative mp for stoke on trenthe plenty more come conservative mp for stoke on trenthe governmentnore come conservative mp for stoke on trenthe government says come conservative mp for stoke on trenthe government says it come conservative mp for stoke on trenthe government says it wase this the government says it was inappropriate the crown inappropriate for the crown prosecutor service to argue that parts the bible are no longer parts of the bible are no longer appropriate and more society while to convict while trying to convict a christian preacher of an alleged hate crime. we'll discuss this christian victory of freedom very soon. but first, let's have a look at the weather . a look at the weather. here are the details. heavy rain will continue in southwest this evening with blustery winds. a yellow rain warning is in force as there may be some localised flooding. the rain warning also to sussex where heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue. it'll be a very mild evening as temperatures climb into . double figures. staying into. double figures. staying wet and windy across wales

channel welcome back . the common sense welcome back. the common sense crusade on gb news on tv, online and on your wireless. the government has admitted it was wrong. the crown prosecution service to argue parts of the bible were offensive and no longer appropriate for modern whilst trying to convict christian preacher of an alleged hate crime. even though the case the preacher was thrown out the story attracted international media attention and was seen as the latest example of overreach by pursuing street preachers and an attack on the rights of christians to preach their faith in public and keep our thoughts on this story. i'm joined by baroness kate hoey, who raised the story in the house of lords

this week. thank you for joining us sunday. baroness first us this sunday. baroness first of all, can you let people know what it is you were talking about of lords in about in the house of lords in case didn't see your case they didn't see your wonderful well, wonderful clip? yes. well, i read it simply in a local paper here northern it here in northern ireland. it wasn't actually covered much in the in the media the time, the in the uk media at the time, but mr. dunne was was but basically mr. dunne was was charged with saying things that shouldn't have been said by two people who passed by. the case took a long time to come to. and finally, when it was coming to court, the defendants couldn't be traced. so the case was being dropped . but someone within the dropped. but someone within the cps , the wessex area, actually cps, the wessex area, actually put out a press release basically saying that there were things that they said in the press release. sorry, it was it had gone to the defence solicitors which was basically saying that there were certain things now in the bible that weren't appropriate to be read by preachers in public. now kind of thought, well this is ridiculous . of thought, well this is ridiculous. is this not a government policy? so asked a

question in lords on it and question in the lords on it and i i have to say one of the i got i have to say one of the most uncommon response cases i'd ever had, which i was very pleased with because lord stewart from , the attorney stewart from, the attorney general who speaks for the attorney in the house of lords, made that wessex crown made it that the wessex crown prosecution service had addressed to this and had this really that actually it was wrong . it shouldn't have been wrong. it shouldn't have been said . it was not. cp policy to said. it was not. cp policy to say that the freedom of expression to be able to say and parts of the bible in that was not illegal . so someone not illegal. so someone obviously thought that they were being i don't know, quite clever or whatever saying this as part of defence. so i think it's important raise it. it was important raise it. it was important to get not equivocal answer because you know, the reality is that more and more christian are being not attacked. that's a that's sort of very probably too extreme a word but you know they're under

a of a lot of pressure not to certain say certain things and so i thought it was good to get this out and i hope now that the cps will show a lot more common sense in future. i would like to think so. i think you're right. there is a growing it's not quite at the level of persecution we see abroad, but i certainly know this country towards christianity. and i think it's quite telling that the cps deemed at the time that certain bible are certain parts of the bible are not for modern. but not appropriate for modern. but will be any consequences will there be any consequences to the cps for them to to the cps okay. for them to say, well, we shouldn't have said will there be you say, well, we shouldn't have said will will there be you say, well, we shouldn't have said will thereill there be you say, well, we shouldn't have said will there be there be you say, well, we shouldn't have said will there be anything'ou say, well, we shouldn't have said will there be anything to know, will there be anything to follow up this? i probably follow up on this? i probably wouldn't would wouldn't like to be would imagine somebody who imagine it was somebody who perhaps very strongly about perhaps felt very strongly about was in the wessex , perhaps at was in the wessex, perhaps at a middle grade or whatever. i would imagine they will not be being sharply reprimanded and clearly the important thing is that the attorney general has said that it is not it is this is wrong and it should never have happened. of course. and we have happened. of course. and we have to make sure that the cps,

i imagine within the cps this this answer to. my question will have been widely circulated amongst people who work there. and you know i would hope also it would send a message to people out there who sometimes these complaints on the spur of these complaints on the spur of the moment and then perhaps later they decide oh they don't really to go through with it. but of course, the cps carried on with it, they should on with it, which they should never done, you know, goes never have done, you know, goes against all the it see it to our rights on, on, on freedom of expression and religion and. you know, i just wonder, would the cps have said this about bits , cps have said this about bits, the koran, if they were having to be read in public by to be read out in public by someone , you so we just someone, you know. so we just have make sure more and more have to make sure more and more are to be able to say what we think, even if people disagree with them, needs to protected. and so this is one tiny little step, i hope which will help . step, i hope which will help. that's the point, though, isn't it? there's two sides to this. so there's the one side that the cps said that parts of the bible

are inappropriate modern society, course, is society, which of course, is wrong, but the side of this is that a man was in the first place just for preaching, you know, preacher was know, a street preacher was charged a hate does charged with a hate crime. does this that the this demonstrate that the british is british establishment is becoming more ? well, i becoming more and more? well, i think we've seen a number of these kind of situations . the these kind of situations. the police have moved in quickly , police have moved in quickly, perhaps moved somebody on or taken them away and not necessarily them, but asked them, not to go back. usually when they're preaching something , saying something that maybe doesn't necessarily fit in with the moral views of some other. but i think i think it does that, you know, like a lot of areas now, i think the police areas now, i think the police are interfering too much in these kinds of freedom of expression religious issues and get back to getting that will always carrying knives off the streets and stopping people having cars and burglary and of that, you know, basic policing

which is what we expect from our police and not this kind of interference in people's personal personal views and ways of arctic you letting those personal views in public , they personal views in public, they wish absolutely with you hundred % baroness kate hoey , you so % baroness kate hoey, you so much for fighting the good fight for the faith . thank you. are gb for the faith. thank you. are gb news on tv online and your wireless. and after the break, rmt leader mick lynch has said . rmt leader mick lynch has said. there are no new proposals on the table after talks with the government , he said he would government, he said he would like to see improved proposals on working conditions on pay and working conditions for its members. but rishi sunak says misery to says lynch is causing misery to millions . says lynch is causing misery to millions. now it's time for a on those news headlines. right . those news headlines. right. it's 232. here's the latest . a it's 232. here's the latest. a man has been charged with facilite hitting attempted illegal entry the united kingdom after people died and 39 were rescued from the english channel when a migrant boat capsized

welcome back to the common sense

crusade on gb news, on tv, onune crusade on gb news, on tv, online and on your wireless rishi sunak is accusing union boss mick lynch of causing misery millions by timing rail strikes hit out against christmas writing in the sun on sunday. the prime minister says an increasing of union members want a deal . however, the rmt want a deal. however, the rmt has rejected fair offers and in our gb news people's poll a plurality of public still support striking workers. we asked whether you would support the industrial action . 44% of the industrial action. 44% of you said yes, you would support the whilst 29 oppose them and 14% say they neither support nor oppose. members the transport salaried staffs association or tsa union network rail have voted accept a pay deal, but a compromise is yet to be reached with the rmt . joining me now is with the rmt. joining me now is lawyer and writer , the lawyer and writer, the conservative woman, carol kilgore and the former editor of labour list, peter edwards.

thank you both for joining labour list, peter edwards. thank you both forjoining me in the studio today. peter, i think start with you. the debate about whether mick lynch and the rmt has purposefully christmas is still ongoing. do think still ongoing. do you think that's case? if so, is that's the case? and if so, is it selfish? i don't think it selfish all. i remember mick selfish at all. i remember mick lynch representing lynch is representing rail workers who've had a real terms pay workers who've had a real terms pay cut. not fair one week or one month, but over the course of a couple of years. i completely understand and support their rationale for doing . what i say as a trade doing. what i say as a trade unionist . i've been on strike unionist. i've been on strike when i was a newspaper reporter and you strike a balance between whoever you're serving, whether that's passengers or patients or in my readers, you care about because you work every day. but clearly and you time your strike , there'll be disruption. the other thing i'd say there have been a lot of apocalyptic descriptions about rail . the descriptions about rail. the strike strikes over the autumn and actually i've been able to get from my home to paddington to come and to on numerous to come and to you on numerous occasions during strikes had occasions during strikes we had a service of about 20. so a service level of about 20. so i think some of the rhetoric about, you know, britain

grinding to a halt, causing misery and so on isn't really borne in reality. okay all borne out in reality. okay all right. to think the right. i tend to think the opposite. carol, what do you think? is misery? is this think? is this misery? is this grinding a halt? people grinding to a halt? people cannot go to see their loved ones at. well, first all, ones at. well, first of all, calvin set that calvin just set aside that because taxpayer already because the taxpayer already funded because the taxpayer already funde d £13.3 billion up to march funded £13.3 billion up to march 22 for this subsidies for, the train industry . and that's not train industry. and that's not compared to the 5.8 billion that is spent on passenger rail fares. so this is heavily taxpayer already. so you know, i'm not really wanting to debate the fact that whether x person get from a to b because that's really relevant in this context . if anyone needs to get to the hospital, for instance, and can't make that appointment or get to see a loved one, the fact that you or i can still manage isn't really relevant and, you know, this is another raid on

taxpayers hours because it's again, it's taxpayer funded. and the whole system needs to be revised , reformed. okay well, revised, reformed. okay well, some of the unions compromised will accept the deal some of them refused to. does that show you that they actually looking to be fair in looking after the people i suppose, people they, i suppose, be caring this more as caring for or is this more as a political motive to some of this? i think there is a political motive? i mean this reminds of bob crow the reminds me of the bob crow the years he was leading the strikes for and it does seem for the tube and it does seem political unfortunately. political ties unfortunately. i'd not think that there's i'd like not think that there's a nefarious intent, but it does seem cruel to turn this strike on to the public, which is basically who's going to be dunng basically who's going to be during the christmas period when people are trying to see their loved ones. it's just it's just another knife in the kind of backs of hardworking people, i think. and peter is rochester not helping things or making things worse with his tone, the sun today. i think he's making

things worse and there's a bit of a read across to other strikes. you remember steve we'll talk about later. you know turned pay negotiation turned up at a pay negotiation for strike without pay for the nhs strike without pay offer and grant shapps, the former transport secretary he called striking rail workers . called striking rail workers. now i think in in any workplace where this where there's a disagreement i've never found insulting people to be helpful insulting people to be helpful in resolving it. we can either act like adults and say here's where we agree. here's where we and work on the second bit. or we can flinging those around. and the other point i would make is that carol talks about public service which actually riot and but these people are public servants in the sense of nurses are there to serve patients and train drivers or conductors so they have to serve passengers and doing that, 365 days a year. so there'll or maybe not christmas day. so there'll be some disruption. but they're not martyrs. they're paid for it, but they're paid less than they used to be. and in some sectors,

they're paid less in comparison with other countries. so i think if you're doing the same job serving the public and driving a train , but you get less money in train, but you get less money in terms to do that job that your rent or food is same or higher, you're worse off . and that's not you're worse off. and that's not party political, ideological is just saying you're poorer because the government, which the ultimate controller and the train operating won't give you a pay train operating won't give you a pay rise that keeps pace with the cost of living. okay, we heard that it's not just the rail strikes. also the nurses that are striking right. and of course, they're caring for people vulnerable , sick and ill people vulnerable, sick and ill people vulnerable, sick and ill people . should it ever be legal people. should it ever be legal for someone who is a caregiver to strike ? that's correct. can to strike? that's correct. can i just first respond to peter's point about the rail strikers? i mean, the other issue that is important to raise is the knock on effects on the economy , on on effects on the economy, on hospitality and retail which is basically taking a big beating this. so it's not just the pubuc this. so it's not just the public and they are public sector , but there are other

sector, but there are other sectors of the economy which , sectors of the economy which, quite frankly, the last two years have suffered enormously and now will have a lot of trouble coming back, you know, a lot of cancellations , especially lot of cancellations, especially in the city of corporate , for in the city of corporate, for instance, and just the nhs strikes . i'd instance, and just the nhs strikes. i'd like to raise the fact. strikes. i'd like to raise the fact . yes it is. strikes. i'd like to raise the fact . yes it is . the nurses have fact. yes it is. the nurses have a lot of goodwill especially with the public , and they do in with the public, and they do in my deserve a pay rise. they have been a pay rise of 5.5% already, according to the pay review board recommendation and but they're asking for 19. and the royal college of nurses is only giving their own employees 5% of 4.5% raise. so there's a bit of hypocrisy there . and then the hypocrisy there. and then the other point i'd like to make is that the nhs needs severe reform. you diversity and inclusion officers being paid 77,000 per year, that is just acceptable. acceptable and the

clinical staff needs to take priority. so just throwing money at this problem isn't really going to fix the broken . okay, going to fix the broken. okay, i'll pull out to you because the way the nhs does seem to be wasting a lot of money on diversity, inclusion and quality officers and such like people that are not directly involved in care at all. and i know you're going to say that care givers need to be more givers need to be paid more because been reduced in because the has been reduced in terms to inflation. but terms compared to inflation. but hasn't money been hasn't all of our money been reduced terms compared reduced in terms compared to inflation ? we not worse inflation? are we all not worse off the morale of this time last yeanin off the morale of this time last year, in the year before. okay you've loch ness on you've up to loch ness on diversity diversity diversity and diversity inclusion think is very inclusion i think is very sensible to have those roles 77 k is quite a high salary and suspect many viewers will have near that something that feels quite high but bear mind is only about month ago in another about a month ago in another pubuc about a month ago in another public service, the fire brigade an racism scandal an appalling racism scandal emerged so think we can all accept there's work to be done on inclusion in the public sector or everything is fine clearly everything is not fine in terms of pay you know i think

we've all been reading up a bit on the dataset. so the royal college of nursing, they're the people that have gone on strike this week do so again. this week and may do so again. they've for 19.5. they're they've asked for 19.5. they're very very, very, very unlikely to get that . but even if they to get that. but even if they did and they would still be off had they had inflation matching pay had they had inflation matching pay rises . and over the last ten pay rises. and over the last ten years. so 95, which they're not going to get they'd still be worse. and the fact that they're going to end and i suspect settling for smaller some does reflect some of the economic reality is right. and the other point very briefly is about we've got all these vacancies and again, you take the politics out of it all the ideology. if state the nhs is offering a salary and there aren't a sufficient number of people applying for get , we've got to applying for get, we've got to move on to the next debate. but thanks to you for that. so on to our next debate. the globe theatre will change the shakespeare classic and shakespeare classic titus and roger andronicus to characters

appear more racist. roger andronicus to characters appear more racist . the roger andronicus to characters appear more racist. the dialogue will be swapped for the modern vocabulary of race to make dialogue in the play more , dialogue in the play more, racially charged and its characters are more obviously prejudiced for contemporary viewers , this is achieved by viewers, this is achieved by replacing antiquated ethnic terms more which have lost the racial force they would have had in their 16th century, with words like black which are more accessible to a modern audience. still with me is lawyer and writer for the conservative woman carol kilgore, and former editor of labour leicester peter edwards . carol, this seems to editor of labour leicester peter edwards. carol, this seems to me to be a bit extreme. they're taking something out of context and trying to cause racial tension. i agree. i mean, firstly , is the most one of the firstly, is the most one of the most top important things of engush most top important things of english language. it's something that english speaking people have a lot to be proud of. and it really saddens me because this reminds me of the news

week. you know, everyone likes to quote 1984 on the right wing, but there's a reason we do that. and that's because this is newspeak. we're changing the language to make it more dumbed down that people will understand what was meant by elizabethan terms and quite frankly, elizabethan poetry really should be touched. it's . i elizabethan poetry really should be touched. it's. i it's elizabethan poetry really should be touched. it's . i it's really be touched. it's. i it's really sad that that it's come to this. pc shakespeare, the most read author of all time , but some of author of all time, but some of the most read literature the bible in the world helped shape our nation, helped shape our language. our culture should really dumbing us down. what is it about us today that we cannot access shakespeare that for hundreds years prior us, hundreds of years prior to us, they able to do so? they have been able to do so? well, as clergy used to had access accessibility because access or accessibility because i that's what this i think that's what this is about now. very strange about now. it seems very strange move. know shakespeare wrote move. you know shakespeare wrote about lots of themes we find difficult very relevant including racism and torture

andronicus and selo. but you know, who are any of us to edit words of shakespeare into? it's probably the greatest british writer ever . maybe it would writer ever. maybe it would slightly tweak your into. i don't think it's to make it more racist. it is to make it accessible, because titus andronicus and the fellow both cover racism in depth. but it does come back to this point that you should treat audience sees as intelligent if they are great. it's a different matter . great. it's a different matter. you know, kids can't get everything from 400 years ago if you're 11. i everything from 400 years ago if you're11. i think what plays shakespeare plays often. and for example, romeo and juliet for kids audiences. i think if you've three, four, 11 year olds, they might not want to sit for 4 hours and say for three or 4 hours and say that someone studied english a—level and university and to a higher degree . so i want to see higher degree. so i want to see more people reading and watching shakespeare. there's nothing wrong for space. wrong with editing for space. changing the words is really misguided. going to bring it back to you, carol, because i happen to think this is cultural

vandalism but we see the same thing in the church the king james bible is again one of the most read pieces english most read pieces of english literature has been. literature that ever has been. it shape our culture and it helped shape our culture and our language, but people oh, kids today, they can't understand it. it's not accessible can. we accessible and they can. we dumbed the lowest common dumbed to the lowest common denominator. does that mean that this is, more this generation is, well, more stupid than previous generations, mean generations, or does it mean that adults patronise that we as adults patronise younger more so now than younger more more so now than previously . like to think previously. i'd like to think that it's the latter. i'd like to think that we don't have to dumbed down all what we're educating children for. and in in us there are even calls in the us there are even calls to not teach shakespeare in schools . and i think that's schools. and i think that's a travesty. i mean , i think that travesty. i mean, i think that children can rise to the level of the education that you give and challenge them and, and you can challenge them and, you know, particularly in terms of politicisation of works, of art , that's a very dangerous, art, that's a very dangerous, slippery slope. and, and you'll see that that can lead to things like if we're going to have to change the past, why not

initiate reparations ? you know, initiate reparations? you know, let's not go. that's not going to it's a pandora's box that is . let's leave that one in its box. that was lawyer and for the conservative woman, carol , box. that was lawyer and for the conservative woman, carol, and the former editor of label is edwards. thank you so much for joining in the studio today. now the final of the world cup, the is still on apparently with argentina and france are set for a showdown in around minutes . a showdown in around minutes. it'll be a closely fought fixture with both sides within reach of football glory as both teams prepare the final game. paul hawkins on the first world cup to be held in the middle east . we've swapped the souk for east. we've swapped the souk for the sands of qatar. this is the core allerdale area with the inland sea meets the desert .

inland sea meets the desert. unesco's world heritage sites. there is comparable lagoon system like this anywhere else in the world as sun sets on another world cup , it's time to . tak another world cup, it's time to. tak and rainbow hats at the end of the day. it gave us a platform to talk about lgbt rights and inclusion , diversity and why inclusion, diversity and why these things are important to us in wales and in the other progressive nations are here and the songs that. the backdrop to england v iran was of politics highlighting racial inequality on the field as well as. highlighting racial inequality on the field as well as . women's on the field as well as. women's rights in iran. coming together on both issues i think all the people around the world want the best for humanity. people around the world want the best for humanity . and iran is best for humanity. and iran is part of that . so hopefully it's part of that. so hopefully it's things will get better. this was a dry country , but there was

a dry country, but there was alcohol if you wanted it. however no booze, no problem. this cup was different. it was family friendly and it was safer. a kind of vast social experiment where football and alcohol inextricably linked are suddenly pulled apart. alcohol inextricably linked are suddenly pulled apart . we are suddenly pulled apart. we are live on danish television . would live on danish television. would the media be allowed to freely ? the media be allowed to freely? you invited the whole world to come here. why can't we feel it's a place? aside from this initial misunderstanding between officials and a danish tv crew for which the qataris apologised , the answer was yes. for which the qataris apologised , the answer was yes . wales , the answer was yes. wales first world cup for 64 years endedin first world cup for 64 years ended in disappointment, but many of the red bull were simply happy to here. look at the logo .look happy to here. look at the logo . look at that . there you go. . look at that. there you go. like the welsh david brent england's campaign , on the other england's campaign, on the other hand, ended in penalty heartbreak again, just one kick away from reaching another semi—final . perhaps on the night semi—final. perhaps on the night england were the better side ,

england were the better side, they just didn't win. the key moments . a little bit moments. a little bit disappointed, but still after the game, is it all positive take from it. so we're still positive about the future. i don't months of the year i was as well sort of floating. this was the world cup for the underdogs. japan beating germany who to reach the knockout who failed to reach the knockout stages . morocco beating. stages. morocco beating. portugal spain and belgium who also failed to get out of their . france losing . tunisia. saudi . france losing. tunisia. saudi arabia beating. argentina, one of the greatest world cup shocks even of the greatest world cup shocks ever. and yet here we are, despite all of that argentina v, france , the final, the little france, the final, the little magician versus the young pretender. messi versus mbappe . pretender. messi versus mbappe. both play for the same club. but the frenchman who's only three years old, is already world cup winner for messi . at 35. this is winner for messi. at 35. this is his chance to win the only trophy that's eluded him. some say he can only be considered alongside madrid's honour when he wins. football's greatest prize pool . hawkins

he wins. football's greatest prize pool. hawkins gb news he wins. football's greatest prize pool . hawkins gb news news prize pool. hawkins gb news news paul joins me from doha now to look ahead to tonight's final. good afternoon, paul. what's it looking like out there ? yeah looking like out there? yeah morning. afternoon i should even say to you, kalvin , listen, say to you, kalvin, listen, we're just 5 minutes away, in fact. so i'm just looking over my shoulder at the monitoring lusail stadium, which is just north of doha. teams are coming out pitch now. and frankly out onto pitch now. and frankly , looks a sea of argentina. , looks like a sea of argentina. fans about 5000 french fans in loose the lusail stadium and the rest virtually argentina. they've almost doha in to buenos aries this afternoon . the aries this afternoon. the question is will lionel messi win that one trophy that has eluded him? will it will cement his status as one of the greats? because some people you can't put messi alongside pele and maradona until you win the cup. and the world cup is where you get those iconic moments that live on in football history. think of pele in the 1970 world

cup final marido in 86, etc. so some people say until he wins that , then you can't put him that, then you can't put him alongside the greats. will argentina win this and a lot of their play is based around messi stop messi, stop argentina. but they do have some decent players and they've shown a togetherness in this world cup that has taken them further than the sum of their parts. france, on paper, have the better team. it's not just about keeping mbappe just about keeping them mbappe who the world who with france win the world cup the youngest cup will become the youngest player in 62 to win two player pele in 62 to win two world cups. they do also have other players. antoine griezmann , olivier giroud. they've got the that argentina. the players that help argentina. it's be a really tight it's going to be a really tight affair. the question is , when we affair. the question is, when we look back at this world cup, we can been one for the can say it's been one for the fans because of the fans because it's been of the smallest countries in world. smallest countries in the world. so been to see so people have been able to see multiple over the course multiple games over the course of a very short is the of a very short time is the shortest cup since 1978. shortest world cup since 1978. we call this fans world we can call this a fans world cup will it messi's world cup but will it messi's world cup but will it messi's world cup that's what we're waiting to find out . that was gb news

happened to you? well, i first of all, father calvin , thank you of all, father calvin, thank you so much for having me on your show and happy christmas. well, this is a while ago now. it's 18 months ago. so life has moved on. but i was , as you said, on. but i was, as you said, a co—founding member , a member of co—founding member, a member of the band mumford sons for 14 years. and . in 2021, i tweeted years. and. in 2021, i tweeted about a book by andi know i believe has been on dvd as a few times which documents the far left extremism in the united states through 2020. and it's somehow turned into a huge story . i was forced to apologise , did . i was forced to apologise, did apologise, but also thought, well , maybe i apologise, but also thought, well, maybe i didn't know the whole story here looked into it . i thought i had been right. actually it was a problem that 19 people have been killed in the first 14 days of the blm riots. it was a problem. mostly lives, i should say . that was lives, i should say. that was a problem that many businesses were. so stood by my original were. so i stood by my original comment and decided the only way

forward was for me to leave the band.so forward was for me to leave the band. so that was that story. but i said this 18 months ago and since been making music with new people . i have my new shirt. new people. i have my new shirt. spectator marshall matters very good.i spectator marshall matters very good. i went off too much on the instant itself, but i want to talk around it because useful is coming to me. we had conversations long before this. you talk about how woke the music industry is and how concerned that there's concerned you are that there's no of views and no plurality of views and opinions absolutely so i opinions there. absolutely so i would that the and the would say that the music and the creative industries more broadly are hold a progressive think. and i think it's absolutely normal that any community would have group think of some sort if it's even gb news i'm sure it has its own group think you've railed against the bbc for having its own group. think if you were in the city they would presumably be more free market and it happens that in the and it so happens that in the creative industries and this is unked creative industries and this is linked to personality types people progressive i'd people are more progressive i'd say not liberal in the old sense

but progressive. and so this became a problem. so for example, blm and you and i were talking at the time, for those of us who had read the literature on black lives matter, say, for example, the book by patrice khan—cullors , we book by patrice khan—cullors, we knew that this organisation explicitly marxist , if you explicitly marxist, if you looked even a cursory glance into blm , could see that this into blm, could see that this was anti—family anti—christian and by antichrist sheehan i mean marxism , an anti—christian marxism, an anti—christian doctrine. and so by being explicitly marxist we could see that it was anti—christian. so it it was definitely ends with my own personal beliefs that organisation now most hadn't read the literature blm and it was more a feeling and a mood that was supported without much of a deep dive although now we've seen with how they spend their money 90,000,030 million on wall street and this is black

lives a bunch on their own property portfolios a bunch on trans communities nothing for black lives, of course . so we black lives, of course. so we could have seen this a lot, but certainly in it was troubling to me advance and i could it from from a mile of even whilst i still in the band that a lot of these ideas had contaminated creative industry these were ends many of them were bad ideas at ends of my own christian beliefs. but the music industry used to be full of rock stars, used to be full of rock stars, used to be full of people that were anti—establishment, would fight against the system in inverted commas, it seems to me that they're on side of that they're on the side of system they're on the side system now. they're on the side of the establishment. they're not people not standing up for people normal, everyday but that normal, everyday folk. but that must, conflict if must, in a conflict with you, if you say you're a man of you are, you say you're a man of the the christian faith. the faith, the christian faith. how faith or how does your faith help or hinder the creative hinder you in the creative industry? well, already industry? well, i've already explained it was a hindrance in that by believe in things, let's

say like the all humans are created equal, that all of us are fallible that ran me into trouble . and because i had i had trouble. and because i had i had brought to light of the downsides of the blm movement , downsides of the blm movement, you know , i would say that it's you know, i would say that it's a pretty cutthroat industry and so i look back at my own time and sometimes i wasn't as christian as i as i. i should have been. so i'm not pretending that i'm any way. that's the point of being christian, isn't it we're all sinners and none of us are perfect or none of us are holy. exactly, exactly. so yeah . so how did it help you throughout your cancellation did your faith give you any hope? it well, i mean , i was in constant well, i mean, i was in constant dialogue with with him through that period. and then out of churches very difficult decision for me to quit the band . and i for me to quit the band. and i was i was it was it was handing

it to him because you know take in mind that there's my whole aduu in mind that there's my whole adult life i'd been with them and i and, i didn't know life outside of it so was certainly a difficult decision, but it was faith in him, but also in the pursuit of truth. and so what really bothered my conscience was that i had apologised for something and so i was part of the lie and that and that was not something that i could stand by and that was really , really by and that was really, really bothered me had i not been made to make that apology , it's to make that apology, it's unlikely i would have had to leave the band. i think the conscious reasons so where i my faith has helped me is, is that handedit faith has helped me is, is that handed it over to him and i have faith in him but in the pursuit truth, i my life will be more for meaningful, i guess more fulfilled . absolutely. and he is fulfilled. absolutely. and he is the way the truth . and the life. the way the truth. and the life. mm hmm. thank you very for your time today. winston marshall, really thank for really appreciate. thank you for calvin . now, coming up, we some calvin. now, coming up, we some emails from you guys on the

topics we've been talking about today. topics we've been talking about today . let's have a look at what today. let's have a look at what you've in on the cps you've been in on the cps calling parts of the bible offensive jim says calvin now they're trying to censor the holy bible. it's funny how the koran is on top of censorship. it's quite funny, isn't it, jim? there are certain religions that are censor and are easily censor operable and certain they will certain others that they will not touch with a ten foot yardstick. mike goes on to say, so to see someone so and refreshing to see someone like you standing up for good sense christian values, you sense and christian values, you really one of god's people here on earth. bless you, calvin. keep up . good work. don't praise keep up. good work. don't praise me, appreciate mike. me, mike. i appreciate mike. they me. this they don't praise me. this is all his work. and all about him and his work. and we what we can to support on we do what we can to support on people trying to cancel christmas, bob says i the christmas, bob says i think the tories cancel christmas 2021 while christmas has been cancelled several times over the last years, you right? last few years, you right? they'll keep trying, but have to keep fighting and say no, keep fighting back and say no, you all religious you cannot cancel all religious ceremony. we still see. our ceremony. we will still see. our family will, our family will, still have our roast turkey we'll still roast turkey and we'll still praise lord. don says. of course, the left is trying to

cancel christmas. left is on cancel christmas. the left is on a mission to destroy because it pushes back. so on communism, karl marx expressly said he wanted the destruction of religion and the destruction of the family. that goes exactly to what marshall just what winston marshall was just saying marxism saying that marxism is fundamentally and fundamentally anti—christian and anti actually it will destroy our way of life. have to our way of life. we have to fight against too . king fight against that too. king charles has extended an olive branch to harry and meghan as several sources close to the royal family have revealed. the sussexes will be welcome . the sussexes will be welcome. the king's coronation in may should they wish to attend . despite they wish to attend. despite growing calls for the pair to be stripped of their royal titles after heavily criticised the firm , the docu series firm, the netflix docu series the and the rest of the royal family are said to want to retain the dignity of silence and not have ongoing battles with couple of who gets the with the couple of who gets the last word . and to give his word last word. and to give his word on this as royal commentator ralph rafe heydel—mankoo writes my old debating body. good to have you on here today. pleasure what this whole what a mess. this whole situation think the situation has been. i think the

royal are probably right. royal family are probably right. keep their dignity of silence. silence think that's silence only. i think that's very too. rising very important, too. rising above way. also by above it in this way. also by carrying on duty of service, carrying on the duty of service, i think the contrast speaks volumes. yes, makes the volumes. yes, it makes the sussexes like they're small minded, petty and bitter. but what also know now is that they seem be appalled that they didn't get similar apology. that lady lady hussey gave to ngozi fulani . so as a precondition for fulani. so as a precondition for actually attending the coronation, then demanding an apology from the king and the prince of wales , which i think prince of wales, which i think is what i think is quite outrageous and. what they're doing essentially is trying to deflect attention away from the coronation onto , you know, on on coronation onto, you know, on on a spiritual and temporal . both a spiritual and temporal. both serve only constitutionally . the serve only constitutionally. the coronation is our most important national event. a time for national event. a time for national unity , national national unity, national celebration , with the only celebration, with the only country in europe to have a christian coronation service where the king or it will be anointed and crowned . that is a anointed and crowned. that is a sacrament as much as holy orders. and this is a great time

for the nation to come together and for them to try to deflect, deflect attention away from that and onto themselves, i think is the narcissistic and the most narcissistic and selfish imaginable . so we selfish act imaginable. so we know you mentioned there that harry and meghan are asking for an apology. this was a sunday times report. so we don't know if true or not. but what if that's true or not. but what would they be asking for? an apology for? well, you might very that the way in very ask that for the way in which treated, for the way which been treated, for the way in believe allegedly in which they believe allegedly that i mean, that bullied them out. i mean, it's nonsensical thing . it's a nonsensical thing. anything they should the ones anything they should be the ones bended forgiveness bended knee seeking forgiveness not only from the monarchy but from the entire british nation for stating that britain is institutionally racist and that the brexit vote was founded upon racism wholly untrue. well, everything that they've done recently has been to alienate britain in order to capture the american. i think they've realised that britain is is realised that britain is now is now no zone for but to sell now a no go zone for but to sell out country . you know, this out your country. you know, this is i'm just glad that the queen isn't to to see isn't here to see this, to see her own grandson betray her legacy betray family and

legacy, betray his family and traduced the institution that gave him his everything and gave him and his everything and upon everything that they upon which everything that they have , all of their wealth have, all of their wealth continues to rest and again, to reject, to do this to his father at a when the sensitive period of transition the succession isn't complete yet . the whole isn't complete yet. the whole point of this period is to try to create a positive atmosphere , the coronation. they're , the coronation. and they're doing they can to doing everything they can to block that. well rafe, what was your most outlandish moment from that awful docu series one that stood for me most recently , stood out for me most recently, the last set of episodes was when beyonce texts meghan and harry is like , oh, he's like, he harry is like, oh, he's like, he had a little goth. i don't if he was acting or not. but the fact that they got so excited, obviously, and how how convenient that the text came through as the were rolling through just as the were rolling and they would side by a side better by their i mean better by their laptops. i mean it's remarkable to see it's quite remarkable to see man this not documentary either this is not a documentary either a documentary or a it's a it's a you know, a propaganda project quite clearly to advance a certain narrative. i mean, for

me, it was just the galling lack of balance that all these allegations of the palace were against meghan harry. and yet no mention was made of the that the palace actually suppressed publication of the damaging report into megan's alleged bullying in order to save her reputation . those of us who were reputation. those of us who were actually on the inside of this know how the royal family know how well the royal family were to improve megan's were trying to improve megan's megan's such megan's by suppressing such stories . of course, none of that stories. of course, none of that suits the narrative . and so that suits the narrative. and so that was carefully cut of this. was carefully cut out of this. and course, there's the and of course, there's the curtsy as well, the dishonourable the mickey dishonourable taking the mickey out of the late queen. but i would also, as you said, taking the mickey out of institution of the mickey out of institution of the and the at the same the monarchy and the at the same time. and struck when i was time. and what struck when i was watching harry just watching that was harry just i mean, was cringing. he was mean, he was cringing. he was physically repulsed. moment physically repulsed. the moment she he's like, oh, she sits back up, he's like, oh, you to what what do you you have to what what do you think that i mean, i think that that's also that's appalling although also an appalling thing to do in reference the but of reference to the queen. but of course, we've for a long course, we've known for a long time know meghan's time that know meghan's delusional sad delusional drama queen. the sad thing how prince thing here was seeing how prince harry gone far you

harry has gone so far down, you could him cringing there, could see him cringing there, but bearing it. but grinning and bearing it. that most painful thing of that was most painful thing of all. and the longest time, all. and for the longest time, i blamed her. i think actually blamed her. but i think actually he's as much blame, not he's just as much blame, if not more her in all of. do more so than her in all of. do you agree? yes. well you know, i said the other day that he's the john lennon and she's yoko john lennon and she's the yoko ono of royal family. well, ono of the royal family. well, that thank much. that right. thank you very much. that's commentator. thank that's royal commentator. thank you for. your time today. plenty more come. this on my more to come. this on my commonsense crusade staff at a british university are urging staff not to say christmas because it's too christian . is because it's too christian. is this latest work on this the latest work on christianity ? rain clouds are christianity? rain clouds are spreading as milder air returns across the country. here are the details . heavy rain will details. heavy rain will continue in southwest england this evening with blustery . the this evening with blustery. the yellow rain warning is in force as there may be some localised. the rain warning also to sussex where. heavy rain and strong winds are expected continue. it'll be a very mild as temperatures climb into double figures. staying wet and windy

welcome back to the common sense crusade gb news on tv online and on your wireless. the university of brighton has issued nine page inclusive language document in which it urges staff avoid using the word christmas because it's seen as too christian centric and instead advises them to call the winter closure period . the the winter closure period. the document also advises staff to avoid other supposedly christian centric language like what your christian name and rather generalisations about people based on their age, such millennial snowflakes . and to millennial snowflakes. and to give his thoughts on this story

is my brother from another mother. the uncontrollable darren grimes darren could see . darren grimes darren could see. how are you with you? calvin all the better for saying you are . the better for saying you are. why? what is this woke nonsense all about? honestly christian universe is trying to cancel the word christian . i think upon word christian. i think upon here in this calvin, it's probably quite easy for some viewers to see. well, this sounds somewhat inconsequential . who ultimately cares what brighton university's marxists vegans get up to down there in the south course ? but i think the south course? but i think actually in saying that the word christmas is, is, ought to be dismissed . christmas is, is, ought to be dismissed. being too christmas is, is, ought to be dismissed . being too christian dismissed. being too christian centric . i dismissed. being too christian centric. i daresay dismissed. being too christian centric . i daresay many agree centric. i daresay many agree with me actually when i said onune with me actually when i said online that if you don't like the use the word christmas, you're welcome. you know to take your culture war and take it elsewhere frankly . because i elsewhere frankly. because i daresay i'm not alone among viewers in actually imagine in the house and the streets calvin that would come from the political commentary out here in

britain if someone dared suggest that we ought to a word for being to islam centric or to hindus . but being to islam centric or to hindus. but you being to islam centric or to hindus . but you may as being to islam centric or to hindus. but you may as well, as i say, be minded to conclude that, you know, this is an irrelevance ultimately and poor old grains and steel coloured calvin maybe needs to find another born of content . but another born of content. but actually, i think you and i, calvin need to be making the case about why this really does matter. why would you send christmas to a closure period or to actually matter to everybody ? look at it like this , whether ? look at it like this, whether you like it or not. in britain, whether you attend churches like your own carlton, or whether not your own carlton, or whether not you only attend church at maybe christmas or easter or for a baptism, or indeed for a funeral. christianity actually remains at the bedrock at the foundation upon which much of our nation most our nation is actually built right. christianity our cultural inheritance. it's people that cultural inheritance people

fought and died for. and i think it's one absolute the worst if you consider how many of the laws of our land how many have not been plucked from the thin air spouted by a politician. calvin but i've actually by judeo christian beliefs on what's right what's wrong, what's right what's wrong, what's good or or what's bad and the established church and. you and i have got a very few things to say about the established church in this country. despite all does to try and tarnish its rich inheritance everything about it and it's our history, our arts , our culture. they're our arts, our culture. they're all steeped in christianity . so all steeped in christianity. so calvin , i'm afraid i do take calvin, i'm afraid i do take this seriously. and i'm afraid i do think. it needs to be rejected because what we're at risk of losing here is way more important than a couple unruly marxists in brighton , i think marxists in brighton, i think should be allowed to get with. absolutely. you mentioned our

laws were founded in christianity , but let's not christianity, but let's not forget our universities founded in christianity as the christian church that started our universities and many our schools. but christianity is a minority religion in this country . so surely christianity country. so surely christianity should given the same protection that other protected groups are. yeah, i mean, that's a very good point . it. yeah, i mean, that's a very good point. it. you yeah, i mean, that's a very good point . it. you know, maybe we'll point. it. you know, maybe we'll get equality act changed and we'll put christians in there. calvin maybe that's one way of going about it. it seems to be the go to for all identity politics these days but i think it goes much further beyond anything like that. i mean, take the king's speech whilst we're all sat around our face with turkey , god knows what else. turkey, god knows what else. imagine if we dismissed the king's speech on the grounds that the king is a christian, right? how many of us tuned in to hear from her majesty the queen? late and great that she was someone whose faith actually guided and moulded her into , guided and moulded her into, being the selfless and dedicated

monarch that we all broke our hearts at the loss of. we're so lucky to actually in this country. i mean, if i consider my own journey, iphone my face, calvin, in my face against the electoral commission right ? electoral commission right? appeal to a deep rooted feel of loneliness in what was a fight that you had to ultimately had to ultimately fight on my own. and again actually upon the death of my grandfather , seeking death of my grandfather, seeking solace in church , that moment, solace in church, that moment, a moment of grief . imagine calvin moment of grief. imagine calvin and i your viewers to imagine that as well . and i your viewers to imagine that as well. imagine if and i your viewers to imagine that as well . imagine if the that as well. imagine if the church was no longer day. imagine if hubs of hopes of communion , if meeting halls, if communion, if meeting halls, if places of beautiful music from past were no able to be cherished and housed in these beautiful buildings that represent so, so much. imagine saying to something so fundamental to who we are as a nafion fundamental to who we are as a nation for fear of not quote unquote in. i mean, how many

people who belong to church carpet and actually utilise it even as a they say a spiritual experience . right. to receive experience. right. to receive comfort and assail in such almost otherworldly maybe. where do you think our modern age with its on demand apps right and its tech where do you think we're going to be able to find seek that kind of complex and solace when christ and church been removed from the picture. that's what one question for us. the good questions that i don't think we have an answer to and don't think the university does ehhen don't think the university does either. but as always, it's absolute pleasure talking to you.thank absolute pleasure talking to you. thank you very much for coming today. that was coming on today. that was brought grimes. brought costa darren grimes. you are gb news on tv on your are with a gb news on tv on your wireless and and after wireless and online. and after the the cambridge the break, the cambridge dictionary has updated its definition include definition of a to include anyone who i identified as female. stating an adult female human is a woman and can also be an adult who lives and identifies female, though they may have been said to have a different sex her, but now it's

welcome back to the common sense crusade on gb news is on tv, onune crusade on gb news is on tv, online and on your wireless success has pledged to abolish the of lords in his first term if he's elected prime. the proposal was part of gordon brown's commission on the uk's future, commissioned by labour two years ago. i spoke with historian and broadcaster professor dr. david starkey about labour's plans for weekly segment . david, how important segment. david, how important apart is the house of lords our constitution and is that the reason that labour want to aboush reason that labour want to abolish it? the house of lords can be seen simply a dignified part . in other can be seen simply a dignified part. in other words, a performance as opposed to the efficient part which is house of commons, but actually of course

the house of lords is parliament. this is why the state opening of parliament takes place in house of lords presided over by the king . now, presided over by the king. now, of course, was the queen, and who never, of course, takes part in their deliberations, but is the animating force . all the animating force. all statutes are actually issued in the name of the king with the advice and consent of the lords, spiritual and temporal . spiritual and temporal. spiritual. you're not there. they are the bishops , lords, they are the bishops, lords, temple are the peers and commons. in this present parliament assembled that now what has been going on calvin in? exactly the same hymn form since the 14th century. we have modified it a little bit. we have introduced different nofions have introduced different notions of franchise . but the notions of franchise. but the fundamental idea of parliament is this notion self—government. because the great formula. and it's announced as early as the

1300 by the judges is every is bound by what is decided in parliament because everybody is there represented either in person. they are the lords or by their representatives they are their representatives they are the commons. now follow that historical grounding of our constitution is, of course, what a minor temporary here today, gone tomorrow . politicians like gone tomorrow. politicians like the lords speaker lord mcfall sent it doesn't understand . and sent it doesn't understand. and the great problem is that most last only . 20 years. ours is last only. 20 years. ours is lost in pushing 600. well, let's take a look at lord macphail's comments. he said the house of lords needs to keep up with the times. it doesn't it will decline . and that's bad for our decline. and that's bad for our politics and bad for our democracy. he making the chamber smaller more inclusive and more of all parts the united kingdom. now, what do you make of that. i

think there's a very solid case for making it very much smaller. but the real then is to ask why the lords is such a mess. but the real then is to ask why the lords is such a mess . and the lords is such a mess. and the lords is such a mess. and the reason why the lords is such a mess is tony blair and gordon brown. it is the chaos of constitutional reforms of new labour which were brought in off hoof with no serious consideration as to their consequence and the disasters of which we are reaping now. a house of lords of a house of cronies. that's what they actually created . they claim to actually created. they claim to be reforming . they were be reforming. they were corrupting. why shouldn't we have an elected second chamber? what's the benefit of valuing our an essential part of a constitution . is balance. you constitution. is balance. you require old and new. you also need to recognise that the old should the new that it's a kind of soil. it's a kind of humus from which novelty should arise . you don't go out again is

described during the greatest conservative politician of the 19th century. the founder the modern conservative party. he puts beautifully. he says britain a progressive country. there will always be change. there will always be change. there should be change. the question is how you change. and he says , what you should do is he says, what you should do is change. should modify what you've got. shouldn't be going outside and reaching for alien principles. i mean, new labour course exemplifies this completely . you go outside and completely. you go outside and borrow a wholly foreign concept like the separation of powers . like the separation of powers. there's never been a separation of us and britain. it is a complete myth. you go outside and for wholly foreign notion, like a supreme court and england. britain reject that idea. common law is firmly and properly the will of the people as expressed in parliament, which is why you have this extraordinary now between

popular opinion and the legal system. what's very interesting with , the if i bothered to read with, the if i bothered to read the full report and if you get to the of it even they are worried about it. what they say is we need to establish it's legitimate to say, you know what they say we might even need to talk to the people about it. but what's very striking is they don't talk about talking to the through the legitimate of parliament. they want citizens, juries . well, we know why they juries. well, we know why they want citizens . they would fix want citizens. they would fix who was on the cities , zurich. who was on the cities, zurich. but even they recognise the need for legitimacy and the fact done things in one way is the reason for legitimacy. so obviously america has a separation of powers between executive, the judiciary and the legislative . judiciary and the legislative. we do not, since our political and legal authority in the uk comes from the crown who was given authority over calvin calvert . your i do hope your calvert. your i do hope your history is better. so i do hope

you'll theologies better you'll do . we have never been ruled by do. we have never been ruled by an absolute monarch, deriving his or power solely from god . i his or power solely from god. i mean the english constitution . mean the english constitution. this weird mixture of elegant lies , elegant untruths and lies, elegant untruths and truths. and when you , say, the truths. and when you, say, the monarch rules by the grace god, the dog, which appears on the coinage and yes , that is the coinage and yes, that is the theory , the practise is that theory, the practise is that powers of the monarch are wholly limited and, have been from a very early period. the best way of understanding britain is that it's a royal republic. of understanding britain is that it's a royal republic . we've it's a royal republic. we've been a royal since the very latest, the 16th century. i argue earlier on it. what gives the monarchy its force is the consent of people. however you define given through parliament

that no monarch who could not command parliament could ever survive. this where our power comes from. but in other words, the power of the reason that there's no separation powers, there's no separation powers, the reason that there is the executive, the judiciary and the legislative, in a sense, fused . legislative, in a sense, fused. one is because parliament not really doesn't represent the will of god. it represents will of the collective of the english british people. that's where its power comes from. now where does god fit in. where does this tablet's church fit in? i it fits in and you know , i'm not fits in and you know, i'm not going to say i used to argue in my days when i was the standard bearer for the national secular society on moral mayes campaigning, society on moral mayes campaigning , stalking. it is society on moral mayes campaigning, stalking. it is a disgrace that bishops sit in the house of. i would say the only as it were clerical legislators any other assembly in iran . the any other assembly in iran. the arch the ayatollah of

canterbury. i'd say this is utterly disgraceful. i would now disagree, and i would rather agree with you that we should keep the why not? because i think that they represent the voice of god. i think they represent the need for ceremony. they need the idea of the affairs of state should be conducted with decency , with conducted with decency, with dignity, with tradition. exactly what we saw with the queen's funeral. i hope we will see with the king's coronation. but you know this isn't particularly christian . remember the title of christian. remember the title of the pope. he's got to talk . one the pope. he's got to talk. one is very christian, said it was their war room day of the servants of god. but the other is roman . servants of god. but the other is roman. it's servants of god. but the other is roman . it's latin, it's is roman. it's latin, it's impure pontifex high priest because rome as the church of england , conducted itself england, conducted itself through formal ceremonies, which

express the heart of . the. so express the heart of. the. so can we agree on a compromise . it can we agree on a compromise. it seems to me you're suggesting we should hold on to having bishops in in the second chamber for the purposes of history, inheritance , tradition. but surely there's another dimension there. surely there's the conscience . of the there's the conscience. of the country. sure. there's moral direct . and all that comes direct. and all of that comes from christian faith. is from the christian faith. is that important to what it that not important to what it would be if ? they showed any would be if? they showed any sign of doing to show. to would be if? they showed any sign of doing to show . to state sign of doing to show. to state to state to of course of course it would be. but remember the church england is now taken over by new labour will be is interested new is totally indifferent to tradition. i am hoping next year to address a clerical conference on. the importance of an idea of national. the church of england. this abandoned and a notion of being a genuine national. if the church wants to keep up. look, i'm gay and i can well

understand why gay members of the church are fronted not being able to marry in church. but sorry there is 2000 years of forceful tradition against it. and if you have a church that is only capable of holding tradition because a few nigerian bishops might start copping wrath, it's not going to be a very vigorous voice of conscience. the nation. is it calvin ? no, it doesn't look that calvin? no, it doesn't look that way, unfortunately , it does not way, unfortunately, it does not look that way at all. i think that's all we have time for today. david starkey, thank you very once again. bless. very much once again. god bless. all . by lots of you have been all. by lots of you have been getting in touch with your thoughts on lady hussey apologising and it goes. the fulani , as sue says. please ask fulani, as sue says. please ask all your viewers to send lady hussey a card. i've sent mine and so have many others. but i'd lovely ideas. sue i think that's fantastic because one party was forced to apologise to the other, and that's not fair. trevor says, i'm sorry , but i trevor says, i'm sorry, but i have no time for the rmt strikers or nhs staff on strike

. they're holding the country to ransom. i work in the private sector and for the last two years only received 1.5% pay rise. if i went strike i would be sacked as it should be. trevor. i think you're absolutely right there. perhaps some of the public sector should be we should put it in be fired. we should put it in laws you strike, get rid laws that if you strike, get rid of you. some new people in. of you. get some new people in. that's view interview that's my view on my interview with winston jenny with winston marshall. jenny goes say what a delightful articulate talking on articulate guest talking on faith in the music industry. he is a wonderful a pure is a wonderful man, a pure heart, a very good fellow. it was a privilege to have him on the cambridge dictionary now has been changed. the definition of the word woman has been all this has been a new definition added. so we already have an adult human female. we now have the additional definition of adult who female. the who identifies female. the dictionary editors have said the new definition is something that people learning english should be aware of, as should they should . people learn english, be should. people learn english, be aware of false definitions. with me right now is lord daniel

moylan in the studio. thank you for joining me this sunday. calvin. well, i'd like to start with actually what we just watched before we get to the nonsense of the dictionary going all work because of course you sit the house of lords. i do sit in the house of lords. i do and saw professor david and we saw professor david starkey us that starkey telling us that we should abolished the should not have abolished the house for some very house of lords for some very good . what's your good reasons. what's your take on well won't go down the on it? well i won't go down the learned he down. i'll just learned he went down. i'll just talk about the practicalities . talk about the practicalities. the lord of the house of lords has a job and the job is scrutinise legislation often in great depth and making changes it. and actually many of those changes are proposed by the government in the course of debate because they find it's full of mistakes. what they've written in the first place even though it's been the though it's been through the commons and the house of commons doesn't have anything like enough time to do that job in house of lords. that's mainly what and it's a very what we do and it's a very valuable role. there's a lot valuable role. now there's a lot to said having elected to be said having an elected upper chamber. i completely understand that's what understand that if that's what want . but that understand that if that's what want. but that is

understand that if that's what want . but that is more gordon want. but that is more gordon brown seems to be he seems to be proposing an elected upper chamber which going to be a sort of assembly of the regions talking about the whole time. so my first question is who's actually going to the work that the house of lords does? the second the cost . the truth is second is the cost. the truth is that the cost of running parliament, only a fifth of it goes on the house of lords, 80% goes on the house of lords, 80% goes on the house of lords, 80% goes on running the house of commons . and that's partly commons. and that's partly because members of the house of lords don't any staff , they lords don't get any staff, they don't secretaries , they don't have any secretaries, they don't have any secretaries, they don't offices of their own . don't get offices of their own. everyone you share an everyone you know, you share an office share a quite a small office, share a quite a small office. four other members of the lords, and you the house of lords, and all you really get is an ipad and a computer on, your desk if you you know, if you ask one. that's that's it. now, if you had elected members in the house of lords, of course, they'd all expect their own staff. expect to have their own staff. they'd expect to have researchers and like that people to help them with their correspondence and, a proper suite of offices. so i don't know where they're going to go,

but the cost will be very much higher. and i'll just say other thing. people say the house of lords is too large and it is quite large . but if there are quite large. but if there are 800 pairs and it's roughly 800 members of the house of lords you need about 800 in order to get 400 to get 400 doing the work. if you see what i mean, because a lot of people do the work full time . i do it pretty work full time. i do it pretty well full time at the moment. but others later, they other roles and responsibilities or they start becoming a bit feeble or they only want to do so and so actually very good to have people in there, many of them presidents of royal colleges who come and about the come in and talk about the things they're on like things they're expert on like might nursing or veterinary might be nursing or veterinary science but don't science or whatever but don't get too much in other get involved too much in other things so order to get the things. so in order to get the sort numbers you need, you sort of numbers you need, you probably larger number. probably need a larger number. otherwise need you to otherwise you need you need to have time. one of have people full time. one of the areas that we disagree, i think should that number. think should have that number. but i'd go back to a but but i'd go back to a hereditary peer system. but if

you the number you'd need you half the number you'd need to full time. and if to make them full time. and if you them time, you'd you made them full time, you'd have to pay them salary. let's move on to the issue of cambridge their cambridge changing their dictionary definition of the word already have the word woman. we already have the definition adult human definition an adult human female, a woman female, which is what a woman is, someone is, but it's also someone identifies as woman. now, is identifies as a woman. now, is that cyclical? well the that not cyclical? well the problem we've got here is this is a very small manifestation of , a broad attempt by a small number of people to impose their on the masses and to do so by capturing the top layers of society , by capturing the civil society, by capturing the civil service , by capturing the service, by capturing the universities and now by capturing the. now, let's be honest, the cambridge dictionary is not a very serious dictionary . this was the oxford english dictionary that had be a lot more serious. but i don't that will be very long before that happens as well. what they're trying to do is to say that what the great mass of have always

believed woman is, which is an believed a woman is, which is an adult, human, female that that's not that's not correct any more that's just part of the definition and the truth is because everyone has a gender which they choose for themselves and they be fluid in their genden and they be fluid in their gender. then anyone who which i. exactly what's that mean exactly that anyone who says they're a woman must be counted as a woman 7 woman must be counted as a woman ? indeed. they're going so far in scotland under the snp green there to legislate for that very very dangerously and to give men who identify themselves as women to give them the legal rights of women including of course accommodation and women's prisons and rights and so forth and things like that. so it is the abolition of the definition of women, as we have known it . of women, as we have known it. but what i worry about a lot more than isn't necessarily the legal rights of people identify as women. it's legal rights of people who don't recognise people who don't recognise people who don't recognise people who identify as women . people who identify as women. theidea

people who identify as women. the idea that you could have a different opinion to what is in this dictionary. well, you wouldn't have it. that wouldn't be at wouldn't be allowed at all. you wouldn't have at all in have any rights at all in scotland legislation passed. scotland if legislation passed. why would you have why would you expect have any rights to expect to have any rights to believe? absolutely awful. terrible. but thank your terrible. but thank you for your analysis. that the analysis. that was the conservative peer daniel conservative peer lord, daniel moylan. i'd like moylan. now, you know, i'd like to with prayer. and to end the show with prayer. and this the sunday night. so this is the sunday night. so here is today's collect . oh, here is today's collect. oh, lord, raise up. we pray the thy power and come among us and with great might sakharov's that whereas through our sins and wickedness we all saw that and hindered in running the race thatis hindered in running the race that is set before us by bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us through the satisfaction of thy son, our lord, to whom with the and the holy ghost, to be honour and the holy ghost, to be honour and glory world without end, amen o adenoid andrew doyle advent, we will see you at christmas we have a christmas on at 2 pm. on christmas day. it's at 2 pm. on christmas day. it's a m on christmas day and up next
