covid's advance in china china's cities sparks disruption and staff shortages. you'd think the country that invented it would be able to deal with it anyway. the mirror has cold—hearted tories putting lives at risk. time says airport strikes to wreak havoc. and finally the daily star with move move rover. fido is a nice little partner. hot dogs overheat the covers and those are your front pages . those are your front pages. let's start with the front page of the mercury . strike. strike. of the mercury. strike. strike. strike. strikes daring strike. the whole country is falling apart. cold hearted tories putting lives risk. this is unite, boss sharon graham has told the mirror that steve barclay will carry the can for any deaths during the nurses due to his refusal. any deaths during the nurses due to his refusal . open pay to his refusal. open pay negotiations . that's quite negotiations. that's quite strong words . on the other side strong words. on the other side of it have oliver dowden, who's the chancellor , the duchy of

the chancellor, the duchy of lancaster , who has said the uk lancaster, who has said the uk government will remain resolute. so nothing's going to happen there. so what we're getting is an impartial where we could really a bypass , i mean really do with a bypass, i mean single strikes going on because strikes tend to happen at the same time that you can't do one at a time because there's a diminishing, you know, the first strike gets because they strike action gets because they want then then there's less money the next group so money for the next group and so on. tend to see this all on. so you tend to see this all sort together and the sort of clamour together and the whole falls. yeah. whole country falls. yeah. and i don't know there's, i think i think is very different sympathies with different groups and for me it's the train drivers who are the cleaners on the trains. you know the and i think they get very low wages then they don't do a great job. i've never seen a train toilet. i'm like this has been cleaned amazingly well. i have seen some really i'm sure they don't tend to love, don't shop. i mean, i'm like, well, i'm going to hold this until i get to the truth. let's fair trading toilets are used by people you know it's not

they know they're not going to be that wonderful but on the other the nurses you know, other hand, the nurses you know, the nurses clean other the nurses clean up, other people, they bedpans people, they they they bedpans and take so much abuse and they they take so much abuse i kind of feel so much more affection their know we affection for their you know we train drivers what are they i, i think they should get paid more. maybe you know, but at the same time they're getting paid than the average. yeah. and time they're getting paid than thyou average. yeah. and time they're getting paid than thyou ever average. yeah. and time they're getting paid than thyou ever haderage. yeah. and time they're getting paid than thyou ever had settingeah. and time they're getting paid than thyou ever had setting upi. and time they're getting paid than thyou ever had setting up for1d if you ever had setting up for train it just goes in half a mile. follow the track. you know if keep on the track it's if you keep on the track it's not difficult. yeah, i know. someone's right . not difficult. yeah, i know. someone's right. going is someone's going right. going is very, very difficult. kerry, you got they see. i'm got no what they see. i'm reckoning it this reckoning if i could do it this is because you've to deal with the trauma of running people over but for no apparent sociopath. i mean, francis, sociopath. yeah i mean, francis, do you think the nurses or maybe the government are playing chicken other to see chicken with each other to see who bends first? this is who bends first? well, this is it, i think what the from the royal college of nursing wants 19% pay rise which i do believe is unrealistic. think the government have come out with i think it's something like 4.9.

well desperately need is for the government to sit down with the unions for and sides to actually come together and wish to be some kind of solution because at the moment all we're getting both sides is empty rhetoric and what happens when you have both sides unwilling to have a productive discussion is have chaos for ordinary people . well, chaos for ordinary people. well, not me, because i'm a celebrity, but ordinary people out there . but ordinary people out there. well, what can we classify? celebrity this is the cambridge dictionary classification of a word . i mean, i think the word. i mean, i think the government . do you think there's government. do you think there's some some of the government playing hardball because they know that it damages because labour obviously connected to the unions they get a lot of funding from the unions. it makes labour look bad if you know grannies start dying because of the nurses strike. yeah but unless you play them against each other, you know, you give the nurses and then you give the nurses 25% and then till the train drivers we till the train drivers sorry, we it nurses and maybe it to the nurses and maybe finally some of the people in

all these ridiculous non—jobs like the quality diversity and inclusion officers are on 100 grand. why are why are they getting that money when that could to fire them get could go to nurses fire them get anyway turning to the daily know francis what have you got for us so? we have got the agony and the ecstasy which is of course talking final, talking about world cup final, which is one of the greatest games in the history of the world absolutely brilliant. world cup. absolutely brilliant. it argentina it was three oh and argentina won it on penalties lot of people supporting argentina particularly in england the argentine pretending to be argentine pretending to be argentine was argentina and you might know this, but argentina and latin america, they're not very popular. in fact, they're so hated. yeah there aren't chile known as the english south america and yet that's how hated they are. no one likes them, but my mum has . and so in venezuela, my mum has. and so in venezuela, people go and watch brazil, they'll go and watch colombia they'll go and watch colombia they will support them. the moment argentine crying, they moment argentine is crying, they will other. so there will support the other. so there we the interested. and it we go. the interested. and it must be it must be a tough i

mean, as a scotsman was tough for to decide to . but for me to decide who to. but it's going to be the same for an engush it's going to be the same for an english person because. i mean, inventive england and inventive between england and argentina england france. argentina, england and france. i thought it was a stunning game of , nail thought it was a stunning game of, nail biting intensity with an electrifying penalty shoot . an electrifying penalty shoot. such dramatic talent . i don't such dramatic talent. i don't know if you're reading. reading it. just reading my guy. i didn't watch it . it. just reading my guy. i didn't watch it. i it. just reading my guy. i didn't watch it . i know. i'll didn't watch it. i know. i'll have a look at the highlights. i mean, he made it sound exciting , so i believe you . but the mail , so i believe you. but the mail also goes with outrage . also goes with outrage. neville's world cup rant . oh, neville's world cup rant. oh, the uk strikes and this is a pundh the uk strikes and this is a pundit gary neville, former manchester captain who was known by his team—mates as red nev so he he took a little pop at the government and the strikes and was comparing migrant workers in qatar with the strikes in the uk even for me is little bit of a leap do you know what i mean the

migrant workers in qatar are 80 grand a year train drivers and pensions and holidays and all the rest of it. i'm not know exactly he's allowed to exaggerate though isn't the and i think you know could top qatar folk amazing amazing tournament with the stadium alone cost abouti with the stadium alone cost about i believe is about a million migrant workers so yeah what i'm yeah and quite a alertness i think six and a half thousand actually die. yeah. yeah. which is which . an insane yeah. which is which. an insane number i mean that's what the cost of those people are. so by, you know, deaths of slaves and mistreatment of slaves 400 years ago, it's amazing . they're not ago, it's amazing. they're not more upset about the actual slavery that's happening right. now that they could do something about what is still going on. yeah. yeah. well that is a good point, but you don't get to look good. point, but you don't get to look good . then you don't get to take good. then you don't get to take qatari money. and be fair, qatari money. and let's be fair, they've got a lot it. so they've got a lot of it. so yeah. and they've been splashed around european union, which around the european union, which we're covering later

we're going to be covering later on. and we moving to the on. yeah. and we moving to the times and what are they leading kerry. we have the airport strikes and oh, most strikes told won't do it. we're going to show lots of strikes. and basically during we've been seeing under contingency plans being drawn up, passengers will being drawn up, passengers will be held aircraft to prevent be held on aircraft to prevent overcrowding airports airport overcrowding in airports airport arrival halls during these strikes. so when basically you not when get if you get here you won't be able get from the airport. if you have an exit on the way don't bother going to a hospital. and that's the state of play at the moment. you've actually better chance now actually a better chance now getting country. getting into the country. a people smuggler in a dinghy. yeah, yeah. which actually yeah, yeah. which is actually substantially more expensive than ryanair have never. than flying ryanair have never. and so flights are still going to go ahead. they're just there's going to be delays because of the bring military or something like that to actually do the checking and things like that , you know. so do the checking and things like that, you know. so i think , that, you know. so i think, well, they ought to be getting everything. yeah, well, they're actually talking about the bring

in military because from in the military and because from the to third i believe what the time to third i believe what we're see is widespread we're going to see is widespread chaos the unions chaos and of course the unions have it . so that is when have timed it. so that is when everybody goes away and it's going to come to a point can't just have union union after union strike can because our economy already on the brink after the disastrous policy that was locked down where we had furlough, we printed , which then furlough, we printed, which then meant we've got runaway unless something is done. you do wonder we are actually going to go back to 1974. yeah we've actually got driving examiners on walk out as well, which is a kind of surprise. give us a little bit of a drive out really, how much of a drive out really, how much of a drive out really, how much of a threat really is going to gnnd of a threat really is going to grind to a halt? you know , grind to a halt? you know, driving some price? right now, we're quite happy with fewer drivers. if some 16 year olds don't get their licence, those fewer bad drivers on the road . fewer bad drivers on the road. but these are going to be smoother totally, which is a bit of a shame if you can't get a train and you who's a gardener

to drive to catch you from every angle. anyway let's look the angle. anyway let's look at the front page the guardian from. front page of the guardian from. so the guardian have obviously gone world cup and gone with the world cup and messi however the guardian messi again however the guardian have some very good have been doing some very good investing go to journalism . i investing go to journalism. i think it was the guardian on main street was surprise. i've been very critical of the guardian but they did an excellent expose of michelle mone the tory peer and now they've been investigating tesco who have been using a effectively forced labour to and this is tesco have got factories out in burma and they have been but essentially trapping these workers , making them work for as workers, making them work for as little as workers, making them work for as little a s £3 a day from 8 am. little as £3 a day from 8 am. to 11 pm, sometimes making them work through the night and guardian have done an expose on this gouda on the guardian because , this type of thing is . because, this type of thing is. absolutely disgusting. yeah, but

£3 a day. i mean, you could get to of jeans at tesco for that but it's not that small an amount of money. oh gary neville has said it's as bad as the driving with it. i i think the main thing that got from this story was realising that people buy from tesco. yeah i know. idea at all by the jeans and let's admit who is just beaten down dads who've given up on life for and i thought you would actually have some here i think school are just stuff you find it ahead of just looking at the peer to peer we do we do have to be off our high though we have a right to criticise other countries but really this is going on a lot with how, you know, high street shops. yeah. making buck and huge making the fast buck and huge profits, taking of people in other countries which it be necessary. yeah yeah. i'll tell you why i would defend tesco said i was not for a type one. that's like using that. i'll defend i think a lot of these jobs you know seem they seem

harsh by western standards but people choose to take these jobs and people are moving from a subsistence agri re in rural lifestyle where. you know people are dying or you're starving, you're not getting enough protein and stuff, moving to cities, getting these jobs where it might like. they're not getting paid very much, but they're in central london. they're not in central london. so bit so that's liquidity goes a bit further. i'm not further. you know, i'm not saying not saying, you know, saying i'm not saying, you know, is this it's about morality, though. kind of our though. it it's kind of our morality is going to tell them sorry but is context but my shop is asia for pound a day's work and here's some context for you. yeah i used to get 3.50 an hour to work at a nightshift and a petrol station which know somebody know would be a good business but like business to kill. but it's like scotland the nineties. yeah scotland in the nineties. yeah so to honest with you, i prefer to be burma mate in a sweatshop. yeah so we're there anyway. finally what are our friends at the daily say in cape verde? stars go to london dogs rampage . here are the three great british ball coffees we call christmas fun and recipes for

your dog . just to add to their your dog. just to add to their punning , they've made a dog's punning, they've made a dog's dinner of the front page and they just you move rover , move, they just you move rover, move, roven they just you move rover, move, rover, fido . i believe the story rover, fido. i believe the story saying don't your dog in the bed under the duvet really just sleep your dog. the dog is a duvet . that's the point of duvet. that's the point of a dog. sure. are people doing that to stay warm from the dog using the dog as a sort of hot water? now, i think it's concern for the dog. we keep the dog under the dog. we keep the dog under the and in the bed with the bed and or in the bed with and whatever else they get up to which they should be doing, either true. i it's either nights. it's true. i it's always that the daily always great that the daily star goes most important goes with the most important stories. yeah, i mean the, stories. yeah, well, i mean the, countries off the countries are sliding off the face of a cliff. no one wants to work anymore. one in ten young people they don't want to people so they don't want to work. through roof work. inflation is through roof but about dogs on but let's talk about dogs on a pillow. yeah dogs die in pillow. yeah well if dogs die in hotbeds anyway with the front pages of the we join us in part two we have reality two where we have the reality our military's homes whether the eu going to cut off gas or not.

that's qatar cutting off the gas to the and the latest christmas for migrants being smuggled across the channel. see you there .

welcome back to headline news. i'm still leo kearse and they're still katie marks and francis foster . anyway, to monday's foster. anyway, to monday's guardian now . and the government guardian now. and the government is refusing to administer an injection of cash to nurses france and we covered this a bit before we indeed earlier. but it's a huge story so no i see no problem covering. it again uk government will stay resolute on nurses pay say all of a doubt and the minister defends refusal to override pay despite threat of further industrial action he dowden there's obviously said they will remain resolute on pay- they will remain resolute on pay. they the government digging their heels in however the royal

college of nursing says that there will be hospitals and more nurses taking part in strikes at present not now, but throughout . and matthew taylor, the head of the nhs confederate , and has of the nhs confederate, and has echoed the point that made that we need to get both parties the table and we need to discuss this and we need to come to some resolution because the issue is with this particular strike as opposed to strikes for by ofsted, which no one cares about or other strikes, is improving. instructors still the driving instructors . this puts people's instructors. this puts people's lives at risk and the more strikes that happen , the more strikes that happen, the more lives people will be put at risk. people will die as a result of this. so it is vitally important for both sides to come to the table. i personally feel 19% for a pay rise is. to the table. i personally feel 19% for a pay rise is . the royal 19% for a pay rise is. the royal college of nursing needs to be released to their demands and the government needs to be willing to the nurses pay because we don't do this then

people are going to die. it's incredibly worrying. yeah i'm glad you said pay. i thought you didn't. they should offer the nurses, which is not very nice message . yeah i mean, you know, message. yeah i mean, you know, i've already said how i feel about this and i refer you to the comments i gave earlier, but i leaning now i'm much more for the driving instructors specifically because the problem is there's advantage to the people in the fields with unions and a lot of people in this country now are in the gig and they don't have a union they don't really have anything to threaten the country with. yeah. in a sense where the unions still have this power, it kind of takes away from the gig stance and really we need stance and really what we need is system raises is a better system that raises probably for everybody fairly . probably for everybody fairly. yeah, yeah. although if we raise pay yeah, yeah. although if we raise pay for everybody, we get into this which gives me that huge wage price spiral. and yeah , wage price spiral. and yeah, yeah, before you know it, we're in the way my. anyway, our soldiers have gone from dodging bullets dodging frostbite and bullets to dodging frostbite and mould . this is in the

mould spores. this is in the daily mail. yeah so how, how, how heroes are being left of freeze in squalor. member of our members armed forces their families are issued sleeping bags and they're sleeping in their coats. they left in mould fidden their coats. they left in mould ridden military homes without heating for a weeks. and this has been under the private of a company called pinnacle whose bossis company called pinnacle whose boss is he earns around 20,000 a year and his name is peregrine lloyd does sound like someone is doing pretty well. that's a yeah. it's someone who's born doing pretty well. someone who achieved well at some point is. yeah you're born peregrine lloyd. you did very confident youri lloyd. you did very confident your i mean if he wins a state school with a name like peregrine he was chosen in the face and he would know he it. yeah i' m £2 million stately home yeah i'm £2 million stately home that he has we've i don't know way that really is relevant or not but people have been well why don't you put some of them up and he has replied that he can't take all of them in, he has big family of his own

has a big family of his own staying for and it's against the terms of the contract and he doesn't really like them that much anyway and they wouldn't like his wallpaper and every excuse you can possibly come up with what he has done. he's created a helpline for them, but the helpline is full of cold reactions, full of mould, and no one's getting through on that. and when they do, they don't get really much and that's what helplines are the one. it really just puts people off. yeah from their complaints a while and keeps a waiting list for keeps them on a waiting list for an extra hour on the phone. your friends this issue friends is this issue with private contractors so the paid pinnacle know millions pinnacle you know millions millions millions to the millions tens of millions to the brave housing for just 50,000 soldiers and their families and they haven't delivered they've you know, a lot of the a lot of the accommodation is subpar. and they're being slow to respond . they're being slow to respond. well, they're creaming off the profits i mean, look , it's profits i mean, look, it's tragic, really, because you look at these people, armed forces are people who put their body on

line for their country , who go line for their country, who go out and serve when come back. we should look after it is shocking. the percentage of homeless people who are ex—service ex—military and we don't seem to care about these people. we don't pay them particularly well. they one of the hardest jobs in societyt they come back not only do some of them unfortunately have physical damage, but they also have damage to their mental health ptsd. we need to do more to support our armed forces and in particular our veterans. so i it's and it seems unfair it's awful and it seems unfair when they could just go down to the dover and see the beach and dover and see they've just off a dinghy up in a four star hotel. yeah yeah, that's that's one one option. anyway talking about the merit box in these seals have started early for people looking to cross the channel pretending to be an asylum seeker. friends well, this is it. smugglers offering migrants for. £135 christmas deal to cross the channel and over crowded boats

and what is basically happening here is smugglers are danger ously overloading boats in the channel they're migrant crossings for less than channel they're migrant crossings for less tha n £500 as crossings for less than £500 as billed as a cut christmas deal. i'm not sure jesus would approve of it. and what they do is they they get these big dinghies they pile on and they just tell them that they're going to set so and they're going to get to the uk on the other side and unfortunate calais sub because they're so overcrowded and they don't have safety checks and everything like unfortunately some of them don't make it and they in the freezing waters of they in the freezing waters of the english channel incident week four people died and it could have been far more of a fishing boat hadn't been there to save them. yes, absolutely. and it should be done for manslaughter. really. the guy was smuggling them? yeah. i think should think it should be responsibility that. but responsibility for that. but 435, there's a deal being offered which that's not christmas is about. is it supposed to be more expensive or anything and it's a january sale

is you put on the deals. yeah so they're already not respecting our culture with the way they're coming in. i mean i don't really understand . we're not able to, understand. we're not able to, to, to spot these boats mean the we're supposed to be able to spot meteorites from from light years away now but we can't spot a boat coming across the channel and of course it's there is the argument what we do to put people off on what is actually a deterrent and on the far right we've people with ideas they buy loads of sharks put them in the sea electric fry the waters all we could is send out our extreme left wing over to their countries and tell them just how awful is and put awful our country is and put them coming here . but i them off coming here. but i don't we've got any real don't think we've got any real answers and stopping the dealing with the asylum backlog falls to perhaps australia managed to solve their problem with boat migrants illegal by just seeing if arrive here illegally you revoke any chance of ever being able to stay here. you see there

is a massive flow to your argument because australia have argument because australia have a competent government . we don't a competent government. we don't have that in this country. we have that in this country. we have we have a government which proposes ridiculous ideas like the one the plan june that would have been a great idea if it had been allowed to work. no, but here's the thing. you know, would it be more believable if priti had come out and say, oh, yeah, we're going to deport you to narnia? if i'd seen like join for school albanians out the doom for school albanians out the door, was never going to it door, it was never going to it was never to work. have was never going to work. we have a that not fit for a government that is not fit for purpose. the reality is we need an asylum system and we need an immigration system that works and people come here illegally . and people come here illegally. everybody understands that it is illegal. you are breaking the law and you with . and that means law and you with. and that means that unfortunately you cannot have access to this country . have access to this country. yeah, i don't see what's so difficult. our messages in reaching them though, is it? no mean. i mean they're being told a different thing. the people

smugglers obviously smugglers who are obviously saying chance saying there's a good chance you're so that's the you're getting in. so that's the question that question is why isn't that message into the messages in region? because reality is at the moment, if you set foot british let's say you're, british soil, let's say you're, you you're here, you're you know you're here, you're fine. can game the fine. yeah, you can game the asylum give a asylum system. we'll give you a lawyer through the lawyer to help get through the nooks crannies of. the nooks and crannies of. the asylum system. so. so, yeah, you're here until stops and you're here until that stops and they're continue these they're going to continue these dangerous and dangerous crossings and everyone. i all everyone. oh i see all these left saying we left commentators saying oh we shouldn't the boats crossing they're responsible they're pretty directly responsible for the deaths these people crossing the deaths these people crossing the channels is . ridiculous. of the channels is. ridiculous. of course it is because you know, the thing that no one wants to admit about this, we've got, you know, the narrative on the left which, you know, these people frame and of frame warm persecution. and of course, are on the course, some of them are on the food exactly have you food front. exactly have you been france ? but the point is been to france? but the point is , is all being run by crime. yeah this is all coming in the pockets of gangsters and more and more people are going to die as a result because more and

more people going to cross the channel. yeah we need to do something about it that is the humanitarian thing to . humanitarian thing to. absolutely. anyway talking of organised crime the telegraph reveals how the fallout from the european parliament corruption scandal might mean that our gas gets cut off. could european parliament ban will affect energy discussions warns gas rich . so yeah this is qatar has rich. so yeah this is qatar has warned the discussions on energy cooperation will be negatively affected by its ban from the european parliament amid the bribery that we've seen, this should be extraordinary because this these kind of deals going on back from these backroom deals happening with lobbyists the time yeah in the in all these meetings it's rare that something out like this and it's also rare that we have a threat made by doha in this way by qatar. yeah saying this affect your energy consumption and now deals with you. yeah. because normally that's always happening as well that's backroom so

everything's happening quite quite interesting out in the open i'm close to one of the richest countries the world. so there's certainly a position to carry out threat like that and i'm surprised really with what they were paying anyway i was surprised qatar didn't prepare more for this world cup and know what kind of focus they were going to get. yeah you know, i don't know what the conversation was going to be paying european politician eu politicians to improve reputation to nice improve reputation to say nice things qatar effectively. things about qatar effectively. yeah. which they should have yeah. yes which they should have just us on that. yeah. we just paid us on that. yeah. we would have done . and for would have done. and for significantly if dare significantly less money if dare i say it more effectively so. listen, qatar, if listening i'm willing to be . oh, please. for willing to be. oh, please. for me on twitter and by me i'm cheapo. yeah we need a union to keep keep the wages money is expressed says we should worry about zapping the chinese premier cutting off our supplies of top made in china. francis

yes china should be recognised official threat by britain demands new report and this is all about the rising power of china the threat that it poses not only the west, but also to taiwan with . 90% of all advanced taiwan with. 90% of all advanced semiconductor orders being made and. look, the reality is , is and. look, the reality is, is that we have been dependent on chinese produce for a long, long, long time . that's how, you long, long time. that's how, you know, we all our things a lot of our products have been built over there and have been relying on it. however as relations between us and the chinese have forced it over, as china, particularly during covid, have become ever more authoritarian . become ever more authoritarian. we need to be realistic about our relations with china and realise they are not good actors in global game. unfortunately and by actors you don't mean the be terrible in eastenders. you

mean that? actually i mean they probably would be terrible these, but but yes but we need to realise you know the ccp the chinese people are of course decent people , but the ccp, the decent people, but the ccp, the chinese party in the car parks, the exact to the chinese communist party are no good actors and they want to increase their power, increase their wealth that there was there was theories ago the world become safer place more connected and reliable . yeah yeah that you reliable. yeah yeah that you need oil from here you need superconductors and they and one supplying everything and we're all doing part and it would make it harder for that to be was what we're seeing right now is a lot of movement with the power going on around the world. china of course also investing in of course is also investing in lots countries and creating lots of countries and creating debts yeah, but then it debts that. yeah, but then it can easily but it's can exploit easily but it's creating bondage . and so that is creating bondage. and so that is what's on. yeah. so, so we've got we've got oil from russia and zone with china and, and,

and zone with china and, and, and of course middle eastern oil and of course middle eastern oil and everything's just relying on everything else and it's becoming very, very complicated and we need more self reliance . and we need more self reliance. yeah. and they're using it as a, as threats of weaponizing, you know russia's weaponizing its energy chain weaponizing its energy chain is weaponizing its plastic also, plastic trinkets, but also, we've sat back all of this. we seen from putin, him liberties with crimea a while ago and even to spy he's come into our country and is a war crime yeah murdering people on our soil and we did nothing about it. yeah and partly we are to blame for everything that's going on right now because we've said, look, we're just going to let you get away stuff. yeah, we give them a false sense security that false sense of security that made think could invade made him think could invade ukraine . that concludes ukraine anyway. that concludes part two. part is where john bishop isn't a fan of jeremy clarkson's recent jokes sunak is joining the anti meghan and harry conversation and, the infamous trans teacher with a big boobs returns anyway , couple big boobs returns anyway, couple minutes before .

we welcome back to the mental now and john bishop has joked about killing his wife with a spoon and keeping her decapitated head in the fridge. but he thinks the other people shouldn't be allowed to make such jokes. curry celebrities, including john bishop and dan walker, take stand against jeremy following hateful meghan markle column . so hateful meghan markle column. so this is the comment i didn't catch the full comment here, but about throwing throwing excrement at. meghan markle he said it is game of thrones reference. we went to jeremy joked about hitting meghan markle so much he wanted to her parade through every town in the uk, a naked excrement thrown or so. obviously of thrones reference. it was an obvious serious thing as. reference. it was an obvious serious thing as . well, he serious thing as. well, he didn't. he wasn't proposing it

as as an actual official government policy . okay. but i government policy. okay. but i think we should say very clearly it is wrong to throw at women , it is wrong to throw at women, especially when they're nice. we agree . yeah. yeah, i think we do agree. yeah. yeah, i think we do mate. i think i'd go along with that well. i feel like we've got to provide here. i think, you know , maybe if you're an know, maybe if you're an orang—utan in a zoo, it's okay to pee in your hand and throw it. but i was surprised. joy bishop coming out and you know, a comedian criticising someone else for making a joke. i think that's a there's a danger here. here's the here's tweet here's the here's the tweet here. this wt here's the here's the tweet here. this w t f is this two here. this is w t f is this two exclamation marks because it's angry. i don't care who you are or who you work for, you simply can't not write things like this. is a blatant appeal to this. it is a blatant appeal to incite humiliation violence incite humiliation and violence sort some of the sort of woman. some of the excuse that dark humour. excuse that is dark humour. there more here. jeremy there is more here. jeremy clarkson no excuse. i think he means it. no joke when he says it's just tweet though, isn't it? he's just saying an opinion . a tweet. i don't think. i don't agree with him on this one. but i that someone

one. but i like that someone wants join on his next. wants to join on his next. i don't think lovely man. don't think he's a lovely man. he's funny and friends and he's very funny and friends and friends. if you're not free to burn some, bruise yourself. yeah, i've burned every bridge . yeah, i've burned every bridge. the comedy industry, mate . the comedy industry, mate. that's just my set. now so here's what i look . i really here's what i look. i really dislike it when i see comedians going out and criticising with people who make jokes. here's the look. jeremy has written. it has what he's written . yeah, but has what he's written. yeah, but he should have the right to write. he has the right to say got the right to write it too. people got the right to criticise it . but when people criticise it. but when people start , you shouldn't be allowed start, you shouldn't be allowed say that. i really umbrage to it. you're not to say discussing your right to say is morally repugnant. i'd say misogynistic and you may have a point, but that's the relevant part. talks all those things. yes. good jokes are all those things for john bishop . hypocrisy of john john bishop. hypocrisy of john bishop . see? oh, that's that's

bishop. see? oh, that's that's tasteless, that's misogynistic. and you literally joked about killing your wife with a what's this doesn't disgust thing if we're to take that literal face value it is legitimate no dissent bad jokes as well jeremy clarkson he's not he's not particularly subtle with his humour . and i don't know, but humour. and i don't know, but i don't think he was being literal that in any way throwing excrement a meghan markle would a terrible thing to do because she'd get another show out of that something interesting that film something interesting for document something actually happening yeah we yeah so look it's not to my taste i'll be honest with you. i didn't find it particularly funny, but he absolutely has a to say to people have the right to criticise. i don't like it when people are demanding that he should not he shouldn't be allowed to write he should be allowed to write he should be allowed to write that . that's allowed to write that. that's why we have freedom of speech. he should be allowed to say yeah and we should all be allowed to criticise it. i thought it was funny, i thought was dead funny, i thought it was dead funny, i thought it was dead funny i think jeremy funny and i think jeremy clarkson's funny john

clarkson's really funny and john bishop who's bishop as an idiot who's who's creating creating a structure creating creating a structure creating a rod for his own back there by saying it's hate speech . anyway the sun reports on plans fine netflix up to a quarter plans fine netflix up to a quarte r £1,000,000 for every la quarter £1,000,000 for every la told in harry and meghan's document tree, which could probably fix the deficit a week. yes. yeah, absolutely . rishi is yes. yeah, absolutely. rishi is planning to take netflix with plans to regulate streaming services after a few . harry plans to regulate streaming services after a few. harry and meghan documentary lies . so services after a few. harry and meghan documentary lies. so this is all about rishi. he wants to bnng is all about rishi. he wants to bring back plans to the television watch ofcom the power to find services for straight to broadcasting . and so because broadcasting. and so because netflix is being accused of misleading feeding viewers in harry and meghan and there been loads of occasions where in the documentary i watched it i've got online , i don't care. but got online, i don't care. but apparently they have a lifestyle lie and will get sued for that .

lie and will get sued for that. it's true. we're going to get sued by the moment you love it. no you watched every minute of it till the truth. this is taking me. back to school. no, i deny. it was painful, isn't it ? deny. it was painful, isn't it? i don't care. apart from. i find her very sexually attractive. but from that sort. but look again , this is something i'm so again, this is something i'm so i'm utterly uncomfortable with . i'm utterly uncomfortable with. i'm utterly uncomfortable with. i do not want ofcom getting involved . the ensuing nip flicks involved. the ensuing nip flicks or anybody else's actually . but or anybody else's actually. but surely cameraman is creating a level playing field mean gb news the bbc itv. they are all subject to ofcom rules. we can be fined. you know we see some of this this this misleading or inaccurate . sure sure i would inaccurate. sure sure i would i don't assume that most of what's on netflix has any accuracy to it whatsoever . it's not really it whatsoever. it's not really where i go for my at the same time though i'm not against most stringent rules when we're talking about standards , talking about standards, investigative journalism , you investigative journalism, you know, and he's claiming to be

fighting this if he's claiming that this is giving us, something been thoroughly something that's been thoroughly looked into , then then i do want looked into, then then i do want it to it to have to be correct and not use pictures that come from a harry potter movie . paul, from a harry potter movie. paul, i think at the same time, the whole things are circus, you know, i mean, we know we do. we all know that she's a narcissist and at the same time the public of the media narcissists we feed so we're doing it right now it's a pretty boring circus, though. anyway you know, and if my memory me correctly a few months ago a comedian friends pete sure we had a boob of ourselves by scaring the kids with enormous z prosthetic breasts. the school board did bust to provide support , but on the other hand , support, but on the other hand, some knockers that was so painful as the kids say, oh, you can't. it made them feel normcore oh, oh, that hurt . that normcore oh, oh, that hurt. that was really, really, really bad . was really, really, really bad. did drop to a new low. you've

stayed abreast of the oh no , no. stayed abreast of the oh no, no. so it was the trans canadian high school teacher by trans canadian it means that she thinks she's canadian and she went to so much of a story, but she went to a children's dance and she's got a z. was it z? cut the breasts. yeah, whatever is obviously massive . and she was obviously massive. and she was seen coming into the room , the seen coming into the room, the door for about a whole minute before she fully arrived in the. yeah, something's coming in. what is that a and this , this is what is that a and this, this is a man who transitioned to women the same time and proceeded to sit down at the front . this sit down at the front. this show, which was pretty for a children's dance show, because if one falls off the stage, they've got good sense of landing. so i think that was very considerate to the best bit about this entire story that she is a woodwork teacher . yeah. and is a woodwork teacher. yeah. and she is going huge prosthetic

breasts and then uses the hug shoes and you you think there's a risk of the nip the prosthetic nipple getting dragged into the leaf not exactly proving what's possible exactly. does that is what happens when you allow strong powerful women to take control . but there is there is a control. but there is there is a theory there is quite a lot of is that this is a man who was he was sick of all the girls in school. so yes, i'm just going to maliciously comply with these rules. i'm going to trans an enormous, ridiculous prosthetic breast. i'm going to make it into the absolute clown . i don't into the absolute clown. i don't know what's true anymore . know what's true anymore. someone tweeted that they were in class and that's what was going on. we don't know which one it is. i think really, if it is if it is, i know that the board are standing right behind . hadn't slash her way back , but . hadn't slash her way back, but it kind of started front anyway. the now and writers are leaving the society of authors union.

it's not sticking up for them and they're joining the speech union instead. francis yes. so this is from the telegraph from reuters join rival union aims to defend free speech after trench . so what is happening here is the society of authors have become very very very woke and. the reality is that publishing a lot of industries but particularly industries which have a liberal bent have become more woke than others. and this is particularly bad for authors particularly authors who agenda critical for those who don't know what gender critical. it believes that women exist. so and they don't it and j.k. rowling has become this hate figure, even though she hasn't actually said that is transphobic or done . that's transphobic or done. that's transphobic, but it doesn't matter because she is transphobic. because everyone she's transphobic and they are all a lot of authors are going to the free speech union, which has been set up by toby young, which is a brilliant organisation which has been

designed to protect free speech in this country. designed to protect free speech in this country . and it's really in this country. and it's really important because we don't have free speech in arts. if we don't have free speech in publishing, then society is going to be very much the poorer. yeah, i agree with that i don't have a really feelings on the whole transgender except ideology itself. you know , it's mainly itself. you know, it's mainly what's what's been changing in society coming from the kind of the frankfurt school of critical theory that's allowed for an emotional of everything yeah to override facts and makes sense but i still think all sides should be allowed to say but to say that point and writing has been the one area of free speech that has really, really been the most protected so far. and that's now. and i kind of worry a little bit about the free speech union because what i see why is happening . speech union because what i see why is happening. i kind of feel that what be happening is that what should be happening is more to change more of an attempt to change main union. this society of authors so it does what it's supposed do is create a world where can say their opinions . we

where can say their opinions. we are previous president of the society of authors. it have been philip pullman. i'm not totally sure, but he was lambasted for sticking up for a teacher who had written a the people complained it was racist because she described a pupil she was talking in a very glowing terms, loving terms about people taught. did you describe one as something beautiful alman days and they said that's racist that was benny hill doing the schoolyard thing obviously schoolyard thing and obviously wasn't it to be racist wasn't intend it to be racist but you know and he had to he had to step down, i believe. why is that racist? because describing somebody is facial features . really? you can't features. really? you can't mention a facial feature. you can't mention with. i mean, you couldn't human eyes or beautiful. you can say the ugly woman dies. that's all right. okay. we're in the world where everything's been bizarre for a while, isn't it? yeah, it has been bizarre for a while, but yeah. publishing like it like i before, has become very, very liberal. it's become very

intolerant and look, i agree with you, carrie. i think that the best thing to do would be to for the people to try and change society or the authors make it more tolerant . but the reality more tolerant. but the reality is you're asking a lot of to put theirjobs is you're asking a lot of to put their jobs and careers the is you're asking a lot of to put theirjobs and careers the line. their jobs and careers the line. and unfortunately a lot of people particularly a lot of reuters don't have j.k. rowling's wealth right yeah , rowling's wealth right yeah, none of them anyway. that's all for this section. join after the break. in a final section , we'll break. in a final section, we'll discuss steven spielberg's ocean propaganda, some bizarre advice this time. a big green houses as we approach christmas . a we approach christmas. a nativity play gone . see you in nativity play gone. see you in a couple of minutes minutes .

welcome back to your final section of . headliners, the

section of. headliners, the daily mail know and stephen spielberg regrets the impact of his anti shark propaganda. francis yes, this is a story from steven about steven spielberg triple oscar winner steven spielberg's says he regrets the impact his legendary film had on. the boom in shark hunting . and this is a quote hunting. and this is a quote from that's one of the things i still fear not to get eaten by shark but the sharks are somehow mad at me for the feeding frenzy of crazy sports fishermen . the of crazy sports fishermen. the hammer of the 1975. so everybody was so traumatised jaws leo that they went out in order to hang honcho and it decimated the population and unless should point of john bishop is watching or read spielberg's column and i think he's joking a little bit it's not actually worried that sharks have good end for him. i don't know. i can't i didn't see the interview but i can't believe mean the catchphrase for the show was never go in the water again which all of these

things with films get the four was the space with in space i'm going to screen the alien it is auen going to screen the alien it is alien and it's true that no one can hear you scream in space. if you're going to scream in space, you're going to scream in space, you should do this. maybe it may be obvious if people can it. i don't know. he was joking or whether it's his ego that. he thinks that shark fishing happened as happened because of him and as a result him people have been result of him people have been hunting and dogs. hunting ghosts, eaters and dogs. but don't believe the film but i of don't believe the film had that full of maybe it did. maybe it did and maybe he should make film about hunting make a film about hunting spiders be grateful spiders and we'd all be grateful he right in phobia, he did right in the phobia, i think. did it because. think. oh, he did it because. no, you know he was executive position for that was he position for that he was he wasn't writer but yeah i wasn't the writer but yeah i remember, writing a remember, i remember writing a poem a great movie. poem that was a great movie. yeah. that was absolutely brutal. what brutal. you see, this is. what did for spiders? yeah, did you do for spiders? yeah, exactly. you regretted it. i don't think there in danger. there's some anyway. mons there's some sharks anyway. mons guard, and harry guard, you know and harry and meghan's isn't the meghan's documentary isn't the only tale only far fetched fairy tale making headlines. kyrie i'm a making headlines. kyrie i'm on a different where you

different story here where you 17. it's about cinderella. yeah yeah, yes, yeah, yeah . i think i yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. i think i was looking for. a one of the best. anyway back to the facts, the views . do you think the views. do you think cinderella is a fairy tale? well, you're an idiot because it's not. because it turns out the fable glass slipper is revealed as a joke on royalty . revealed as a joke on royalty. so that's he dismisses and academic has trace his 17th century origins and uncovered connection to the creation of hall of mirrors in the palace of versailles and the impractical fashions and fads of french aristocrats . so this is really aristocrats. so this is really useful if you're doing a pub on bling. otherwise what a slow new day's news. they were having. so there's a profound deeper meaning as there is with all things. yeah, but it did have a meaning. been enjoying cinderella wrongly. this sort of this the palace of versailles. the know, with the people you know, with the man dressed with all the man who dressed with all the lipstick room the lipstick in the room and the wigs and apparently wigs and stuff. apparently there's trend for, a there's a there's a trend for, a real feminisation of men before

society collapses . don't know if society collapses. don't know if it's got any parallels with the modern times, but francis, what's your take on this, if you got one? no not really. oh, good . this movement of princesses has changed anyway. yeah, princess. yeah. so to hell with fairy is the telegraph in a safety warning about the hidden danger of greenhouses? oh, absolutely . this danger of greenhouses? oh, absolutely. this is one that is going to reverberate around the world. might the national allotment society have said beware of glass , screen houses, beware of glass, screen houses, gardeners in utterly bizarre guidance. so they say that glass houses are a negative on plots and they they said that the danger was and were they need to be replaced and you just think know the national allotment society does anyone care what the national commons is so it says oh i read daily newspaper to you you read the pamphlet they don't even know if they have one to be honest. but but it's printed on glass . yeah, but it's printed on glass. yeah, but

it's printed on glass. yeah, but it's saying that you know that the glass you it breaks it it does , it goes into the soil does, it goes into the soil injuries . yeah. it was glasses. injuries. yeah. it was glasses. yeah yeah. and then people cut themselves and really it would be much better if we used a kind of tough, transparent plastic . of tough, transparent plastic. we should really people glass houses shouldn't throw stones or , or bricks or anything and in fact they shouldn't even be in glass houses just living real life. so, yes, just make the world absolutely. yeah. anyway, it's not christmas without the great escape and some did exactly that and it did a daring escape in australia . three escape in australia. three natural, not two camels have escaped from an activity play which is the last you expect. the trees also got away and the who uses real camels illegitimately played? no pictures with the bit of carpet over here , real siege of it over here, real siege of it right here . yeah. yeah that is right here. yeah. yeah that is does not a pantomime camel that is a genuine i how many people
