1:05 am
scheme in droves. apparently those 20,000 police officers that we wanted aren't all sticking around front cover. the guardian now one in ten tory peers have given more than £100,000 to the party and the front page of friday's financial sharp plunge in global deal bnngs sharp plunge in global deal brings a pandemic era to a halt. they express with no magic wand for pay . that's a story about for pay. that's a story about the strikes that we'll be talking about in just a moment. and the daily has the real goat and those at that, of course is the death of pele considered the footballer of all time and those were your front pages pages . so were your front pages pages. so going to begin with the daily star and of course, this is a story that has been covered on basically of the front pages. liam yeah, that's right. so paisley, the footballer , died. i paisley, the footballer, died. i don't know too much about paisley, but i do know he's a football over there, is there with his of hugging with his share of hugging another was known another footballer. he was known as good because of sure
1:06 am
as the real good because of sure footed ability on the pitch . footed ability on the pitch. mean probably yes. unless he was part maybe he was part. good. i think, paul, you might be able to explain. the greatest of all time goes down slowly over. but yeah pele really the same yeah pele was really the same way that the broke the mould of music back in the sixties pele was much the first big star of football back in i mean he played in his first world cup at 17 years old. in 58. he played his part of the great 1970 brazilian team, even as a kid growing up in the eighties, my dad buy me videotapes of players of that team. but the brazilian team of 1917 and it would stand out. there were other players around the time there was you sabio was a uruguayan , but pele sabio was a uruguayan, but pele really did stand out. so are thing. i mean, leo and i admittedly don't know anything about football at all, but just sort of a cursory look at some of these stats. had 129 hat of these stats. he had 129 hat tncksin of these stats. he had 129 hat
1:07 am
tricks in career. that's impressive, right.7 it's impressive. as incredibly impressive. as incredibly impressive. i mean, the argument of the greatest of all time is always a difficult one to have in any genre , any any sport, any in any genre, any any sport, any art. because, you know, what are you comparing with.7 pele of his time was the greatest. that's why started with beatles why i started with the beatles analogy and comparison because he one to really break he the first one to really break through him to through you can compare him to modern footballers because they don't hats no so don't wear hats anymore no so they're to get hat trick they're going to get hat trick late in the year and they're quite interesting though . didn't quite interesting though. didn't realise that pele was so poor when he was growing and apparently couldn't afford apparently he couldn't afford the afford football the family, afford a football and to practise and used to have to practise a sock with up rags inside it. so football for foot for a football rig is up for a practise with a soccer that's very, very different. so yeah, yeah, that's very tough . that isn't great very tough. that isn't great because talk about now going to begin to move on now to the front cover of what is it we're going next the daily telegraph what's paul. daily what's this paul. daily telegraph. at new telegraph. yeah look at new covid travel kerbs. now this just comes on the back of what
1:08 am
we just heard on the news that china is suffering from another surge of covid. i don't know if it's a different strain or not i think we have to lean back on the things we've learned because the things we've learned because the company knee jerk reactions anymore. i mean we personally i don't think that should be spending any of our own money on this side. they should be tested before they come. and if they're if they're found to be positive, then i shouldn't travel. am i wrong here? there. but my understanding is the reason there's been a surge in china is because they had a zero covid policy lockdown. now they've just obviously stopped that then then they're going to get a surge. i mean, it's pretty obvious an abrupt sort of change. change your father, the zero tolerance, absolute lockdown policy and they've lifted that completely . and no, lifted that completely. and no, but but the thing is, they've got like a much bigger surge than we have in similar circumstances in the uk because we've got a of natural immunity because a lot people have
1:09 am
because a lot of people have covid. we've, we've got a high vaccination rate and also our vaccines are better whatever you want to say about vaccines, our vaccines are better than the chinese vaccines . so they're chinese vaccines. so they're estimating as a million and estimating as as a million and a half people could die over the next few months in china from covid. but i mean, we've got covid. but i mean, we've got covid here. we could see it. that's it. that's the thing. i don't understand what the problem is with covid. it's not like we're our bodies are going to a little covid. yeah, to be a little good covid. yeah, we're supposed. is this just a step towards, know, edging us towards of towards another lockdown of thing? just don't thing? because i just don't think country would tolerate think the country would tolerate anything we anything like i don't think we could back into could possibly go back into i don't there's any need for don't think there's any need for that we're seeing more hospitalisations to due to other diseases from flu and all these other things and we're to see the negative impact of lockdown because people don't have any tolerance, flus, colds, nor virus and strep. you know , which virus and strep. you know, which has been literally killing . i has been literally killing. i mean, paul, this is the thing. i mean, paul, this is the thing. i mean, the uk government is sort of asking china to be transparent about any potential
1:10 am
new variants, but as we have seen whenever there have been subsequent, it's always been the case that has become milder within china. absolutely. and the asking the the first problem is asking the chinese be chinese government to be transpower, they transpower, although they haven't much more haven't done. i'd be much more worried was in somewhere worried if i was in somewhere like or china like new zealand or china because they have they've strived to have the zero covid policy which we know is impossible, is absolutely impossible. the only way it could be achieved is if we all lived in glass boxes on our own right, and i don't think and it's interesting that the chinese clearly did not want go along with this, that they would they on the streets they will be out on the streets protesting. and there's a lot of chinese people. yeah. and i think made it completely think omicron made it completely because just transmits so and because it just transmits so and also relatively mild also it's relatively mild compared previous versions. okay, well, going go on okay, well, we're going to go on to the express now, leo what are they running with today on their front they've a front cover? so they've got a big picture. paley celebrating some . but the story some football. but the story we're covering is the battle the ongoing battle between the government and unions. so no magic one for pay raises what is
1:11 am
what the business secretary ben wallace has to the striking unions and so unions are getting more militant they're suggesting they're going to the promise they're going to the promise they're going to strike, they're going to combine strikes. so, you won't able to you know, you won't be able to get a train, but you also won't able to go through the control, except you will in a or because the people we bring in to it the people we bring in to run it actually better. and you actually do it better. and you won't able to get a driving. won't be able to get a driving. driving test examined. so you know the country is going to fall apart. why they point to fall apart. why do they point to the union and think they the trade union and think they have this much, much control and much, over the government much, much over the government because well, this much, much over the government bethis;e well, this much, much over the government bethis;e the well, this much, much over the government bethis;e the thing well, this much, much over the government bethis;e the thing the all, this is this is the thing the government digging in heels government is digging in heels and looks looks like and it looks like it looks like the government is going win the government is going to win this in long term this one in the long term because there's a lot of discontent. the unions apparently. union people apparently. so some union people are costs are saying because it costs union on strike and, union money to go on strike and, obviously it creates a of, obviously it creates a lot of, you know, public and it also pushes find solutions pushes to find solutions that aren't people such aren't paying people more such as with with as replacing people with with robots. the unions in robots. so the unions are in
1:12 am
have internal battles, you know, saying some of them saying we should settle with the government. some of them saying we should we should we we should we should push on. we should well, what do you should do it. well, what do you think the government sorry, the public's on this at public's opinion on this is at the people are the because people are frustrated the strikes, frustrated by the strikes, but they also understand people they also understand that people need money well, absolutely. need to. money well, absolutely. i going on i think two things are going on here. can smell here. the unions can smell blood. can blood blood. they can smell blood is getting the of getting towards the end of probably likely to be the probably what's likely to be the end 12 conservative end of this 12 year conservative reign. so feel like they reign. so they feel like they can not going be out to can are not going to be out to do this when labour, if it is labour get into power, it just would be much of a conflict would be too much of a conflict of they're really of interest. they're really going they going for it now and they chucking it feels to me because of they're becoming a little bit overzealous. they're chucking the bathwater the baby out with the bathwater here because deals could be struck. of these deals are struck. some of these deals are very sort of so seven or very good, sort of so seven or 8% per annum for the next two years extremely good the years is extremely good at the moment. now inflation is moment. now and now inflation is ten, 12. hear in ten, 11, possibly 12. we hear in an we're never going an months we're never going to keep the economy doesn't keep up that the economy doesn't allow us to inflation is going to come down. well yes, we've got got a temporary sort
1:13 am
got we've got a temporary sort of squeeze, oversupply of supply squeeze, an oversupply money caused caused inflation. of supply squeeze, an oversupply mo hopefullyd caused inflation. of supply squeeze, an oversupply mohopefully , caused inflation. of supply squeeze, an oversupply mohopefully , iaused inflation. of supply squeeze, an oversupply mohopefully , i mean, nflation. of supply squeeze, an oversupply mohopefully , i mean, don'ton. so hopefully, i mean, don't don't quote me on this, but inflation should come down in the next year or so. okay. well, let's see if leo's prognostication right. anyway, we're going to move on to the front of the guardian. front cover of the guardian. they've also got pele, of course, but what else have they got? they've got pele. one got? they've got pele. yes one in ten pairs have given in ten tory pairs have given more n £100,000 party. more than £100,000 to the party. this is the guardian. so they say this as big i say they see this as big news. i don't really think it is. i mean, that's exactly what goes on. all time. and this is how the conservative party is funded , same way as the , much the same way as the labour , funded huge labour party, funded by huge donations from the unions. i guessin donations from the unions. i guess in return there aren't as probably as many labour pairs. they be seen in they don't want to be seen in the house lords because the house of lords because politically doesn't look good politically it doesn't look good for. but i don't see any different. i don't there's different. i don't think there's a interest . it's the a conflict of interest. it's the way raised money. so for me way they raised money. so for me i don't see how they i mean they're rewarding people for supporting the tory government and tories able to do those and the tories able to do those things because they've been
1:14 am
given that money. but it's not the that people are buying the is it that people are buying peerages , is it. think they're peerages, is it. i think they're trying allude to this, but trying to allude to this, but i believe it the is says believe it the is say he says it. you i kind of is the it. you know i kind of is the case you think yeah people are surprised what is it that a proportion of those who ends up in of lords also in the house of lords also happen donors because they happen to be donors because they are of the party? are supportive of the party? know not a surprise, is know that's not a surprise, is it? not a surprise at it? no it's not a surprise at all. and starmer says he's all. and that starmer says he's going abolish the house going to abolish the house of lords he in, lords when he gets in, obviously, because, you know. but then why don't wait on but then then why don't wait on the well, we're going the tories say well, we're going to unions cut to abolish unions and cut off your files the house of your files to the house of lords. will abolished under starmer because. starmer mostly because. i think labour will have a few labour peers will have a few things to say about it. no things to say about it. also, no one discusses why one ever really discusses why the lords is there. it's the why the lords is there. it's to scrutinise policy to scrutinise all the policy that through. you cannot that comes through. you cannot be done. the commons yeah, the people are saying. lords people are saying. the lords another them are asleep. another half of them are asleep. most when most of the time, but when they're there of them are they're there most of them are working hard, sure. but working quite hard, sure. but isn't principle isn't the principle of democracy, mean, the democracy, paul? i mean, the point is they're elected be. point is they're elected to be. yeah, i agree now yeah, yeah, i agree that now they although is one of
1:15 am
they although weirdly is one of those like the queen, i'm those things like the queen, i'm not going the royal not going to say the royal family, know, family, but the queen you know, isn't a democrat state isn't isn't a democrat state thing, works against the thing, but works against the king. presumably know the king. you're presumably know the queen. i don't prince queen. i don't think prince charles king, charles, charles king, prince charles, whatever i don't whatever he's called. i don't think called king think that work is called king charles. well, it's prince charles. well, it's prince charles leo, you're very charles back. leo, you're very set in your ways, only i'm no, i'm a conservative. no change. that changes. that means nothing changes. okay, we're going okay, fair enough. we're going to to the front cover to move on to the front cover now the eye. what have they now of the eye. what have they gone with? obviously, pele, again. a story again. so they've got a story here about supporters of this scheme hire new police scheme to hire 20,000 new police officers. and they're seeing the droves, quitting droves, them the quitting in droves, then talking to the numbers. they've numbers. yeah so these they've recruited more police recruited more 15,000 police officers with three months to go until the deadline of this scheme, seems pretty good. until the deadline of this sche see seems pretty good. until the deadline of this sche see loads seems pretty good. until the deadline of this schesee loads of�*ems pretty good. until the deadline of this schesee loads of quitting.ty good. until the deadline of this schesee loads of quitting. but)od. and see loads of quitting. but you it, they say 1837 of you look at it, they say 1837 of those officers, possibly because they don't have the full figures. but you know, roughly 2000 have quit and it doesn't like quitting in droves. sounds like quitting in droves. sounds like a sort of normal amount of people to quit a job. i mean, loads of people start jobs. this site not for them. that's
1:16 am
site is not for them. that's a particularly high proportion. one no, no . quit more one in ten. no, no. quit more than one in ten jobs. again this is your experience where you quit, what you put. is your experience where you quit, what you put . well, you quit, what you put. well, you know, i mean, also, this isn't just quitting. this is a training process. it's kind of natural wastage for want of natural wastage for the want of a much better term because we're deaung a much better term because we're dealing with human but dealing with human beings but it's tough job. but it's a really tough job. but that's thing people that's the thing people are going to because it's going to quit because it's actually hard they get they actually hard so they get they get the training and they get into the training and they discover, this isn't quite discover, oh, this isn't quite i know i'm all this and know if i'm all for this and they know unless they they wouldn't know unless they tried. me it is tried. so i think for me it is a story i, it misses it misses things like, you know, they are back filled by other people coming in behind you. how many people quit? i that's what i want to know. many people quit. they didn't want paid they didn't want to get paid £11,000 a year to cut and paste press releases. that's a very good and i have to good point. there and i have to say, more than in ten people say, more than one in ten people quit up comedy. yeah, quit stand up comedy. yeah, absolutely. so more like absolutely. so it's more like nine and that's nine in ten. yeah. and that's not she's still not. not enough. she's still not. yeah, exactly. anyway, but that's of the first section that's end of the first section here coming after the
1:17 am

1:21 am
the government have been accused of rank double standards after it handed out nearly of rank double standards after it handed out nearly £30 million in high street vouchers to civil servants amid public sector servants amid a public sector freeze. explain that because i mean it's things like nando's that i don't trust. so these these aren't pay rises are rewards for doing well at work . rewards for doing well at work. so you've , turned up on so you know you've, turned up on time three days in a row and you've completed your timesheet that's asking a lot of the pubuc that's asking a lot of the public sector. so exactly. but they should be rewarded. i think this is bit disingenuous to this is a bit disingenuous to because kind of labour. because this is kind of labour. so, know, having a go with so, you know, having a go with the tories for rewarding workers which is something find a little bit confusing as someone who sits in the middle and looks at both sides. isn't the reward the salary it is i mean, it doesn't contribute pension. you contribute to their pension. you know, they give you 30 quid to go to go to nando's or to the cinema or whatever. they cinema or whatever. yes. they haven't money. they're haven't got the money. they're not. course says this not. and of course it says this i million over over the is £30 million over over the yeah is £30 million over over the year. won't be £30 million, year. it won't be £30 million, it'll b e £30 million worth of it'll be £30 million worth of vouchers. want to vouchers. yeah they want to physically pa y £30 million. you

1:23 am
exist by the way the community sentencing which popular for a while but is dwindled dwindled in popularity recently. i think it's maybe just is more complicated to allocate but it speaks to the victims of the crime and to get them to help decide what the sentence is going to be how the offenders punish victims, get to decide how that that there are limits that you can say like you have to wrestle a wild hog naked. no no no because i mean unfortunately unless you want to create a political and create a political party and make that a platform, i'm all for that. you're not allowed you know, torture. know, there's no torture. there's or hitting there's no whipping or hitting with anything there with planks or anything there are options. there are are limited options. there are limited . old like limited options. old stuff like clearing wasteland , repairing clearing wasteland, repairing churches, graffiti . i churches, removing graffiti. i think i'd actually rather wrestle a wild boar than do any of those . but yes, is part of those. but yes, this is part of those. but yes, this is part of starmer. he's trying to outflank the tories on crime and disorder is trying to be look like being like always like he's being bit like always do they they said remember when they on they tried to more tough on immigration putting an immigration by putting an anti—immigration message on mug and they to do that so
1:24 am
and they tried to do that so well with but they're are well with but they're not are they going to leave they then we're going to leave it doven they then we're going to leave it dover. but they're it at dover. yeah but they're not no they're empty not police. no they're not empty gesture. . and they are gesture. it is. and they are trying to do exactly what you suggest is suggested that suggest is suggested is that they're outflank they're trying to outflank conservatives. like leo conservatives. i mean, like leo pointed already exists. pointed out this already exists. stephen merchant's written a about exact thing in about this exact thing in society it be great you know as a victim of a or something you know like someone attend all the social engagements you don't want go to three years i'd want to go to three years i'd like to make the police attend the social the actual burglary scene, know that. but this scene, you know that. but this is that this is the point i was going to make this. there's nothing prevention this nothing about prevention in this there lot that do talk there is a lot that they do talk much into this story. much deeper into this story. this quite about this comes up quite about the trauma . so the criminals tend to trauma. so the criminals tend to be people who come from a traumatised background, you know , their father something bad , their father or something bad has so traumatic well this has so that traumatic well this is what the statistics show and we believe in statistics time of year yeah oh yeah no i mean former criminal intelligence officer you're also raised by a single mother who to write . to
1:25 am
single mother who to write. to say to the police but you know the i mean labour did do a lot of a lot of good work you problem solving policing broken windows theory they brought and brought of quite brought over a lot of quite radical methods pledges from the states to tackle crime , tackle states to tackle crime, tackle the crime and also the causes of crime and also find more efficient solutions to crime weren't just chucking crime that weren't just chucking people jackets people in yellow jackets to arrest problem arrest people. the problem i mean, i think i think keir. starmer don't think he i don't starmer i don't think he i don't think he's the actual motivation. i think, as paul says, it's just this window. it's just easy making it's just it's just easy making the right noises like he's making make making on immigration to make people lose 14 votes or say, i'm not going to vote for the tories this time, going vote for this time, i'm going to vote for you. you do with point you. see you do with this point and win the next general and not win the next general election. a great election. i agree, is a great opportunity to tell us what really going to do to come in on the of the tories being. the back of the tories being. rubbish okay we're rubbish is very easy. okay we're going move on now to the going to move on now to the times and desperate plea from times and a desperate plea from cancer paul, the anti cancer research. paul, the anti campaign steve barclay is
1:26 am
campaign want steve barclay is the health secretary to publish a plan for tobacco control. this is they're a million people would contract cancer from cigarettes by 2040 unless there is tougher action to stop smoking such as raising age. and by the way that's been raised raised 16 to 18 in the last few years, seen at the moment, right. yeah. so they're talking about raising it higher that i mean once you're saying you're an this is this is an adult. well this is this is this the least for me this is the at least for me anyway first thing i learned anyway the first thing i learned about reading this article that there actually a smoke free there was actually a smoke free policy don't know policy by 2030. i don't know what's to happen in 2030, what's going to happen in 2030, but going to become but we're going to become free of 2030. mean, of everything by 2030. i mean, this i'm not sure what good does but they're saying have raised this could raise the this they they could raise the legal for buying tobacco legal age for buying tobacco from that from eight from 18 so that people who born after people who were born after designated could never buy designated year could never buy cigarettes legally. i think they've implemented some of that they've implemented some of that they use the new zealand increment every year. yeah increment every year. so yeah you'll never, you know the smoking age goes up every year. so you're born after the, you so if you're born after the, you know, cut—off point, you'll know, the cut—off point, you'll
1:27 am
never become old enough buy never become old enough to buy this just don't this rather that they just don't trust i mean, people trust the public. i mean, people make choices if people make their own choices if people want their lives. want to endanger their lives. smoking, that's their choice. yeah, terrible yeah, but people make terrible choices. was choices. look at ladbaby was number one again. it's but this is a good now. but i'm is a good point now. but i'm surprised coming from you surprised it's coming from you because are about liberty because you are about liberty and and yemen. but your and freedom and yemen. but your choice, with choice, the trouble with smoking, just impact choice, the trouble with smthe|g, just impact choice, the trouble with smthe person just impact choice, the trouble with smthe person who just impact choice, the trouble with smthe person who smoking act on the person who smoking impacts around impacts and the people around them. friendships to them. i've lost friendships to smoking. take my smoking. i couldn't take my pregnant my pregnant wife. i can't take my baby into the house. but what about people are smoking in about people who are smoking in privacy of their own home? or thatis privacy of their own home? or that is the previously owned own home don't say, why home and i don't just say, why don't i can't don't just beep. i can't believe people are still smoking. it's like riding a horse to work. but you this argument you know, i think this argument could down with them with could with down with them with alcohol, well alcohol, you could say, well where sorts of where does all the sorts of people's alcohol somebody people's lives alcohol somebody can of wine next can drink a glass of wine next to baby and the not to my baby and the baby's not getting second—hand alcohol yet but maybe the person but i you know, maybe the person gets drunk and they knock the oven gets drunk and they knock the over, perhaps we're getting into. we're, we're into. yeah we're, we're extrapolating well i'm just about that . you know, when it
1:28 am
about that. you know, when it comes to alcohol, water, harm society , i've got a very stable society, i've got a very stable babyis society, i've got a very stable baby is like a we pulled pulled it or do you not take the libertarian view on this? i absolutely do, actually. i think you making a great point and interesting to see leo argue now as a new father as well. it's great to see really not the not the you are anti this before you're a dad but if you would've cared a lot less but where do stop where stop smoking. stop where do you stop smoking. he smoking. okay but he stopped smoking. okay but when you when stuff you stop smoking. mean the problem with smoking. i mean the problem with this smoke the this is second—hand smoke the impact nhs. let's say impact on the nhs. let's say that was taken away. we wouldn't care smoked, it didn't care if smoked, if it didn't cost things with it. we wouldn't care if people wanted to kill themselves and they want to kill themselves in many different ways. who smoke, ways. i know people who smoke, who that of who need that sort of lack. i quit smoking. used to smoke when i vancouver where. i moved to vancouver where. smoking banned. smoking and it wasn't banned. but good side is, you but yet the good side is, you know, it's like britain has now provided impetus me to quit provided the impetus me to quit and i'm quit. yeah. no i and i'm glad quit. yeah. no i don't. mean thousand don't. i mean in two thousand and when it changed in the

1:30 am
nf tees with just a fad. beautiful can you just remind us what nfts are ? so as a what nfts are? so as a nonfungible token so you can get a digital image and this non—fungible token means that you own that image. i mean, you can still screenshot thanks to screenshots. you make a perfect pixel, perfect replica of it. you do anything about it. what you do to come into my house, take my laptop off so really understood the appeal of this. but they were selling for millions. well, that's the problem it they're trying problem isn't it they're trying to into a god to make them into like a god card with the whole crypto bitcoin mania and, you know, became that. and became became part of that. and they're mean some they're selling i mean some of them digital by the them are digital collage by the beeple sold for nearly $780 million dollars and justin bieber there's some good news justin paid $1.2 million for an nft . al justin paid $1.2 million for an nft . at least some editors are nft. at least some editors are getting removed the money. but because people bought these things for so much and they're now completely worthless they can't even sell them can't the louvre. i could've told them that this a fad. i don't understand what it was, you
1:31 am
know. so this the service is has sprung up. there's a called unsaleable that if you pay them money they will take the nft, they will buy the nft from you that you could mark it down as a tax loss. so know you don't get to so then there's the government's loss rather than yours. any thought did you buy any? i did not buy any any? and if i did not buy any but only look at the but only have to look at the people that did it. was it the rothschilds were buying rothschilds that were buying nft? it wasn't serious nft? yes, it wasn't serious investors. was, know, investors. it was, you know, instagram famous paper did. yeah, when was in paris yeah, yeah. when i was in paris hilton, jemmy, fallon , hilton, madonna, jemmy, fallon, kevin hart, they're becoming lots more nft sold the lots of more nft sold the editors like coming up and part three we've got transgender an illegal migrant for uk border force and the problematic teachings at universities seemed .
1:32 am
1:33 am
to just fall . welcome back to
1:34 am
just fall. welcome back to headune just fall. welcome back to headline news. let's get straight back into it with the telegraph now . a call for telegraph now. a call for transgender athletes to step into the ring. that's right. the boxing ring this time. into the ring. that's right. the boxing ring this time . so, yeah, boxing ring this time. so, yeah, boxing ring this time. so, yeah, boxing is going to introduce a new transgender character . so new transgender character. so instead of having, you know , men instead of having, you know, men fighting transgender, trans men and women , trans women, they'll and women, trans women, they'll have a completely separate transgender category where transgender category where transgender athletes can scrap because there are issues with understand with sports, like swimming the setting on a horse you know, that you know, being transgender you're not you're not going to get injuries but with with with contact sports such as rugby and boxing there are issues and we previously seen in amy a transgender fighter male , two female fighter male, two female transgender fighter following who broke a woman's skull and then posted about it on twitter, which is pretty cool, which she used to get busted. i just love that. i love that. you know, you
1:35 am
can you can literally do that like all the guardian readers are like, oh, my god, this is so progressive. it's like, are you? i this is literally i think this is literally a biological crushing a women's skull. i mean, going skull. and also i mean, going through puberty be through male puberty can be certain advantages to athletes. you stronger bones , larger you stronger bones, larger skeleton, greater muscle mass. it's easier to parallel park inside the stadium here. you think of all this. so you think this is really actually it's one of the more sensible stories you come out. now, i actually think this says, oh, you're trans phobic to get well i'll you the person who writes the tweets to me after the show i think this is fair. also as well, particularly with sport a kind of disagree slightly with leo. i think there should be transgender sections every sport. i think it's the fairest way. i the thing that way. i think the thing that makes sport so good is its fairness if you win in sport and it's a fair a fair race but those for that's like big government stepping and seeing what makes sport for me is watching a biological male absolutely smash women's and not
1:36 am
only that but a biological male who's number 470 in the world suddenly becoming world number one absolutely beatable . there one absolutely beatable. there was a point that supposedly leah thomas , the swimmer, being thomas, the swimmer, being ranked something like 500 and transitioned , was all of transitioned, was all of a sudden, number one. yeah and thatis sudden, number one. yeah and that is kind of i mean, it's outrageous and also kind of funny for me patriarchy is back is funny. it's only funny because people who claim to be progressive think progressive just a mirror up, doesn't just holds a mirror up, doesn't this? look, this is what this? look, look, this is what you for. and this the you asked for. and this the thing about this is, will trans rights this? rights activists accept this? because whole mantra is, because their whole mantra is, while women are , women and while trans women are, women and trans men are man , if you create trans men are man, if you create a third category, you're effectively denying that central creed. are creed. yeah and also are logistical level is going to be difficult to find enough fighters to actually compete and the transgender only categories. well yes well but one story from now as you say, will there be though, because, you know, every 11 year, you know, every other 11 year, you know, every other 11 is it's like transgender. so you only got to keep it a
1:37 am
generation going to a huge generation going to be a huge transgender support. all right. well, we're moving on to the daily and an all men's daily mail now and an all men's prison been criticised for prison has been criticised for not prioritising and not prioritising equality and diversity. that diversity. well, that is that should be the important thing about is a good point about and this is a good point let me tell our viewers let me just tell our viewers what the is this is the her majesty's northumberland was criticised prioritising criticised for not prioritising equality and diversity and respect . it took issue with a respect. it took issue with a failure to provide to transgender inmates. so i think for the purposes of starting this a discussion, we need to park the transgender here. the whole point of prison is sort of to be punished for a crime think you need to be rehabilitated ? you need to be rehabilitated? yes. sorry, i don't have a fetish about punishing people. i wish i could almost hear people saying now you're absolutely andrew and i agree with what you said. i ithink andrew and i agree with what you said. i i think the point i'm trying to make is that, you know, they should wear a uniform. they are all equal in prison. they should. don't prison. they should. they don't i all this and i don't know all this make and dressing about whether dressing up as about whether men, women or anything in between. this
1:38 am
between. so can you explain this to because make up we don't to me? because make up we don't have right to wear have a human right to wear l'oreal. yeah this is thing you can identify woman and can identify as a woman and that's but you don't have that's fine but you don't have to identify as a woman who wears makeup and floaty dresses. you're prison. this is a prison , not a brothel. but it's supposed to be not be a focus . supposed to be not be a focus. people warned me that i used to watch prisoners cellblock. i used to want know but used to want to know why, but i don't. genuinely do that don't. i genuinely do that because they talk about because if they talk about identity and minority identity issues and minority groups and they're trying groups and then they're trying to makeup i mean, to conflate in makeup i mean, there a history of people there isn't a history of people being oppressed because they there isn't a history of people beinwearing.sed because they there isn't a history of people beinwearing makeup. use they there isn't a history of people beinwearing makeup. yeah.ey there isn't a history of people beinwearing makeup. yeah. that like wearing makeup. yeah. that does not exist. it's a men's version of what women should look time have look like every time we have this i'm a woman this discussion it's i'm a woman so i now need high heels make up and a pretty dress. it's ridiculous . yeah, it is ridiculous. yeah, it is misogynistic. if anything. and i can't believe i'm saying this. forget coquettish tilt of the head which a lot of a lot of extreme trans absolu. they've really that, actually extreme trans absolu. they've realljmakes that, actually extreme trans absolu. they've realljmakes them. actually extreme trans absolu. they've realljmakes them. awoman. you that makes them a woman. but you are prison. you are all are equal in prison. you are all equally criminals you equally bad criminals and you wear uniform. nobody dresses . wear uniform. nobody dresses. yeah. you don't need to be
1:39 am
identified by your gender. this is real . or is this just is real. or is this just something that happened in one rogue you it's the rogue prison? you it's in the daily. no, apparently. apparently this has history of apparently this has a history of sort overboard with sort going overboard with equality, inclusion. equality, diversity, inclusion. and issue this really and this is an issue this really stifling , stifling productivity stifling, stifling productivity across public sector and across the private sector as we need to get rid of equality, diversity and inclusion, because all it does get people's we cost a lot money and come up with the ridiculous rules and ideas like this creates stupid articles about. yeah yeah waste of time and then we're moving now to the express the uk force making headunes express the uk force making headlines again for all the wrong reasons. leo this? wrong reasons. leo what's this? so a border force official so a uk border force official these the charge of these are the in charge of passport and making sure who comes into the country. one of them is arrested for being an illegal migrant who arrived in the country 20 years is the country 20 years ago, is believed to in his apparently believed to be in his apparently he got round he got round the rigorous by lying but even the greatest crime in a way this is the way you can save yourself
1:40 am
you you know if i were the criminal i go out with the vigilantes at night and search for myself it's a similar like the saw murderer he did that as well i'm sure he did and. yeah. and is this comes hot on and this is this comes hot on the heels of the border force being embarrassed. they went on strike. . we're going strike. we'll show. we're going to strike christmas. to go on strike over christmas. yes government brought yes then the government brought in the military and in brought in the military and other people to replace. and they much better job they did a much betterjob because i guess border because because i guess border force, they're very lazy . well, force, they're very lazy. well, i mean, it would suggest the border force the greatest in the world. if they can't world. but because if they can't if is to monitor if their whole job is to monitor an immigration they an eagle immigration and they can't within own can't find it within their own ranks. yeah. not good pr is ranks. yeah. it's not good pr is it. but is genius isn't it. like you said, i mean, who better to find illegals than illegals. yep don't think that was his argument. no i certainly wasn't. anyone who got the job and who wasn't. yeah. the used to be mean. people who worked in hmrc as it was back in the day in immigration it was a skilled job. it was something that you qualified for. my father in law
1:41 am
worked immigration. it was worked in immigration. it was whole career. he spoke for different languages. now it's not just get not like that all. it's just get as people in possibly as many people in you possibly can and just do basic checks. it's no longer what it was. the quality of the stuff is what you're about. yeah you're talking about. yeah i think and that doesn't think so. and that doesn't mention how good or bad was. think so. and that doesn't me could1ow good or bad was. think so. and that doesn't me could haveiood or bad was. think so. and that doesn't me could have been r bad was. think so. and that doesn't me could have been our d was. think so. and that doesn't me could have been our best was. he could have been our best immigration. so that's the other thing. might be brilliant thing. he might be brilliant because what to because as say he knows what to look we should some of the look for, we should some of the people that are coming across in dinghies and uk border dinghies and replace uk border force shown force them i mean they've shown a of aptitude the they know a lot of aptitude the they know some entry routes so some of the entry routes so maybe be better. maybe they'd be better. excellent let's see if excellent idea. let's see if anyone takes you up on that next is the times more people getting offended universities. offended at universities. paul, what's talk articles what's this? oh is talk articles like week? this is like this every week? this is tiring, though, it? this like this every week? this is tirreally,ough, it? this like this every week? this is tirreally, really. it? this like this every week? this is tirreally, really. and t? this like this every week? this is tirreally, really. and this1is like this every week? this is tirreally, really. and this time is really, really. and this time it's tyson lord it's about our alfred tyson lord tyson, poet laureate under queen victoria. people know, victoria. as many people know, students lincoln universe students at lincoln universe have told that local have been told that local figures, including poet alfred lord tennyson, are problematic now this is getting crazy for me. i mean, this is alfred , by
1:42 am
me. i mean, this is alfred, by the way, who i said was the poet laureate. these people are, you know, of best intelligence of their time in the artistic field. yes i mean, he's a fantastic case study for i to learn about these things and be to say how it would be to judge that man by today's standards. but again like i'm sure that most students know that it is ridiculous to judge people from what we see he's a 19th century poet to judge him by the standards of today. but again, you see leo, mean, i come back you see leo, i mean, i come back to this again and again, i don't think students really are think the students really are the think it's the major problem. i think it's the major problem. i think it's the academics. mean these are the academics. i mean these are the academics. i mean these are the who are them the people who are taking them around saying, oh, these people the people who are taking them ar0|problematic. h, these people the people who are taking them ar0|problematic. these.e people the people who are taking them ar0|problematic. these people .e are problematic. these people should they are problematic. these people shotoj they are problematic. these people shoto decolonise they are problematic. these people shoto decolonise an they are problematic. these people shoto decolonise an engineering try to decolonise an engineering curriculum newton yeah. curriculum of isaac newton yeah. i the law of motion is i mean, the law of motion is problematic something. well, problematic or something. well, the i read i the religion of social, i read i read in a recently, read this in a book recently, the social justice will will from all good bookshops by andrew doyle. but it's andrew doyle. but yeah, it's infiltrated our infiltrated all, all of our institution become institution lines and become this anybody who this this mantra. anybody who doesn't by it gets gets
1:43 am
doesn't abide by it gets gets hounded so people are hounded out. and so people are afraid speak against is afraid to speak out against is it's ridiculous. i mean what will people find unacceptable in the future i think they'll find a this kind of a lot of this kind of things. i mean, these are going to think quite probably in about quite clearly, probably in about ten years, 15 time, ten years, 15 years time, i would hope. but alfred lord tennyson, you know, you're if tennyson, you know, if you're if you're if all you're you're if you're if all you're worried when read is worried about when you read is his towards racial his attitudes towards racial groups, would be of his groups, which would be of his time. yeah but unacceptable today you're not not today then you're not not grappling poetry you grappling with the poetry you you've the you've completely missed the i mean is of relevance his mean it is of no relevance his view was on racial groups at the time doesn't really get time it doesn't really get mentioned he's not mentioned his poetry he's not know nobody's looking to him for advice on it. he is you know , advice on it. he is you know, somebody who should be held in high regard is somebody who had a hugely successful career. i mean, where where do we draw the line? when does history does history start? when we have a whole bunch of people that we agree with are all in one place at the same time. and you'll never have that with any historical figure. well, i hope we don't either think these students should just go home and
1:44 am
read in memoriam whatever, read in memoriam or whatever, lady i'm going to now with read in memoriam or whatever, lad'telegraphioing to now with read in memoriam or whatever, lad'telegraph and to now with read in memoriam or whatever, lad'telegraph and academicith read in memoriam or whatever, lad'telegraph and academic is the telegraph and academic is afraid to challenge potentially damaging agenda. this is connect to stories and it is to the last stories and it is part the the sea the part of the same the sea the same things . two professors have same things. two professors have come out and said they're scared to challenge this sort to challenge and all this sort of ideology in this case the decolonisation of the maths curriculum , because they see curriculum, because they see this personally risky. if any one professor steps up and says, wait a minute, this is ridiculous, you can't like, why would you decolonise? there are two things here because a lot of people watching won't really understand. how can you decolonise is pure decolonise maths is the pure science, universal science, so it's the universal language . maths. maths has never language. maths. maths has never been colonised is not decolonise . what's i mean can anyone .what's i mean can anyone explain that ? no, i don't think explain that? no, i don't think you can. i mean , i've read this you can. i mean, i've read this and i'm guessing somebody is that it's mainly been taught by white men, it's origins certainly aren't last this maths. the universe is designed by maths . they see that they see by maths. they see that they see that they need to make sure diverse mathematic missions are
1:45 am
referenced and they need to ensure students are aware . if ensure students are aware. if any mathematicians have connections to the slave trade racism or. this is this is advice that's been handed down to the quality assurance agency pointless government agency that exists purely to get in the way and, make things worse. tell us if the numbers add up. yes, that's it. where stop? that's it. where does it stop? are going? going to are you going? you're going to get rid of the number eight because it looks like a fat lady. i this is a bingo lady. i mean, this is a bingo problematic. ladies problematic. the two fat ladies makes is just misogynistic makes 11 is just misogynistic objectification. two objectification. yeah, two numbers, two little ducks. that's anthropomorphising animals outrageous. absolutely outrageous. okay well, that's. that's it. now, all part three coming up. we'll have a shocker diagnosis on christmas eve for some unfortunate patients. a new cutting edge hypercar and why exercising in virtual reality is better for you than . hitting the better for you than. hitting the gym, you'll definitely want . see gym, you'll definitely want. see that? see in a moment.
1:46 am
1:47 am
1:48 am
welcome to the final part of headliners. we're going to jump right back in with a shock text message that you wouldn't want to receive on eve paul, what on earth about? i shouldn't laugh, but it really did make me but it really really did make me laugh. gp text laugh. it's gp surgery text patients . you've got lung cancer patients. you've got lung cancer instead of merry christmas. that's a bit of a typo that . that's a bit of a typo that. must have been someone stitching someone up. patients a gp practise were horrified as they would be when they received a message from a doctor declaring had lung cancer only to find the message was meant to say merry christmas . presumably message was meant to say merry christmas. presumably this is a computer generated . i think so. computer generated. i think so. it didn't say you've got lung cancen it didn't say you've got lung cancer. it's got to it says, you know, this is your diagnosis, aggressive lung cancer metastases. yeah and then thanks. yes not taxing my brain and some of them some of them were actually waiting for the results of cancer. so they
1:49 am
panicked. one guy broke down his , partner broke down sobbing. he tried to call surgery, couldn't get through. obviously, it wasn't minute the atm wasn't one minute past the atm so he had to run to the gp practise and demand to see a doctor and also tried to sort of tried to fix the problem by saying sorry and then saying merry christmas . but that went merry christmas. but that went wrong as well. can't out wrong as well. we can't out merry one, one person merry christmas. one, one person had a three times so first they get you've got lung cancer and then they keep wishing them merry christmas afterwards. yeah yeah. mean not the yeah. so i mean it's not the most reassuring is what most reassuring if this is what they're text messages they're doing with text messages , simple. even , which are pretty simple. even my send them. what are my dad can send them. what are they doing with the more serious stuff like brain surgery and people ? they'd in for an people? it they'd gone in for an ingrown toenail and cancer ingrown toenail and lung cancer and scary. really and this is scary. they really need right . it's need to get this right. it's a terrifying. do you think that this a sort of standard message of yeah so they of some yeah so they accidentally wrong accidentally send the wrong message this message message which meant this message available them to send you. available for them to send you. i there's to be a i get so there's got to be a phone call. i have thought so. definitely. yeah. can't definitely. yeah. i can't i should be informing people
1:50 am
should never be informing people about they about over text message. they they can't be. well apparently they can't be. well apparently they must be. anyway. we're going to move on this is going to move on now. so this is the mirror and an impressive new hypercar that in the environment what hyper car. so it's a what is a hyper car. so it's a really fancy sport car that cost loads of money. this is a nice just a nice car. don't have it be nice. i think i'd rather have a have a nice service because it'll break down all time. it'll break down all the time. i had a ferrari and it just broke down all time but yeah. so down all the time but yeah. so this is a new cutting edge hypercar. the b110 by italian firm burton and it's going to be the first to be fuelled by plastic rubbish. but it's not going to be back to the future when he puts this stuff in the flux capacitor, whatever this is, it's just the supply you with fuel of this plastic waste and is a hydrocarbon. it's and is a is a hydrocarbon. it's made so it's not made from anyway so it's not even know that i just think even you know that i just think this is peak eco you know so the scale by this hypercar below oh i'm saving the environment this this this fuel's made from plastic is actually just as bad for the market will burn to
1:51 am
for the market will burn fuel to make that than than it would just get normal and also you know buying you can't see the environment buying hypercar environment by buying a hypercar that's like all that's nonsense it's like all these in california were these celebs in california were like i've added tesla to like oh i've added a tesla to my fleet 33 that doesn't fleet of 33 cars that doesn't help environment just got help the environment just got another full is just a fad. another car full is just a fad. yeah i think they're trying to make something out of very little know, i'll read little here, you know, i'll read this. this to be the this. oh, wow. is this to be the new that goes north to 60 new car that goes north to 60 and carrier bags? oh, you and 35 carrier bags? oh, you know so know, stops turtles know so you know, stops turtles choking on straws. i guess he gets the idea of the story is it does like that but what it doesn't really it's not like got three bins now and one of the bins is for the car where you just put all your plastic bottles in and someone turns into gloop. but stick it in the back of your car and off you go. it's not that disappointingly as as points out. okay, well, as leo points out. okay, well, although know he although to correct you know he is wasn't putting the is don't pram wasn't putting the banana and stuff into the flux capacitor he was putting it in a reactor never reactor fusion usually never goes already your goes and in fact already your knowledge very we're knowledge is very weak we're going on the guardian
1:52 am
going to move on to the guardian who pulls the strings if aliens contact humanity there's a of things going on here andrew but the aliens contact the story is aliens contact humanity who decides to do humanity who decides what to do next? scientists are setting up a poster action hub in scotland. leo the concerned humans would react like headless chickens if they came into contact. we would , of course we would. but this i'm reading this article. it's like reading something from the 19505. like reading something from the 1950s. they are constantly looking for signals, right? there seems to be this assumption highly advanced assumption that highly advanced auens assumption that highly advanced aliens are going to use twenties technology to communicate with human beings and it's going to go to one lucky person who's trying to deal with it. however, this article talking about preparedness and you know, we, you know , if we are contacted by you know, if we are contacted by auens you know, if we are contacted by aliens we would just panic there be mass exodus and all kind of thing. we do probably have to be prepared, dummy. yeah, but why of the scottish people to be the first contact with the most aggressive intolerant xenophobic people in the world. but the snp
1:53 am
would argue they are the most compassionate and inclusive. they would welcome the aliens into their will. the aliens got an english accent well everyone. they them . the story. they would hate them. the story. what if it won the swerve it wants union. so wants a stable union. so i didn't realise. this didn't realise. so this this article says since 92 more article says that since 92 more than 5000 worlds beyond our solar system have discovered. and that's a lot of . yeah, and that's a lot of. yeah, right. and so there probably is auen right. and so there probably is alien life . i think we all agree alien life. i think we all agree with that. and think that at some point if advanced of us and let's face it, they could well be , yes, they would therefore be, yes, they would therefore probably understand what we're saying and thinking now and choose wisely mean. they probably take one look up and go give that a mess. you know that i'm not trying to be facetious, but i don't. so it would be like had this chickens at first, right. because who would assume it was real if. right. because who would assume it was real if . you've got it was real if. you've got a mexican . yeah. if you got mexican. yeah. if you got a message now from an alien saying watch out may we're coming get. yeah it'll be like oh it's jim again james always the coolest but the other thing is, i mean
1:54 am
they're probably not going to be benevolent, they're probably not going to be ben
1:55 am
banksy does. and we revere banks. high regard. banks. he's held in high regard. i don't and i'll tell you all you and reason don't you don't and the reason i don't some the times the message some of the times the message this is not the message that want to put out banksy is often putting out message that putting out the message that people you know yeah the progressives and the woke want to it's great to put so they go, it's great stuff if this was sorry i'm not saying i can see this over there but i'm just not interested in. banksy as an artist. no, no, really. trade, really asinine stuff . but i really. trade, really asinine stuff. but i mean, at really. trade, really asinine stuff . but i mean, at least really. trade, really asinine stuff. but i mean, at least this is a nice statue. yes. who has done this then ? we know it was done this then? we know it was probably not the original. done this then? we know it was probably not the original . we probably not the original. we know that much because i think. he was 150 bc. yeah so it's probably not him. it'll probably be now but this is nothing be dead now but this is nothing but this in itself is a of installation art is the point. but it's interesting isn't it, what we're talking about it i think talking about think we're talking about it. i think we're talking about it. i think people know about think people should know about this is the we know this stuff is the reason we know about it and it stood the test of time literally. is because of time literally. it is because it's interesting. it's good. it's interesting. yeah. does it seem like a yeah. why does it seem like a police issue? to me, it doesn't
1:56 am
does it? all right. we're going to got time, to move on now. we've got time, i one more story i think, for one more story excuse, this is the daily mail. this is an alternative to hitting gym? yes. several hitting the gym? yes. several studies that studies have indicated that exercising is actually exercising in vr is actually better for you than so in the real world. how can exercise it with virtual reality idea? well, well, this is the point . you well, this is the point. you have to still exercise . they're have to still exercise. they're talking about the oculus quest headset, which you might not know what this is. andrew i can tell you what it is. it's a £400 vr headset. my daughter's got and it made my heart rate go up when i bought it. and it makes my heart rate every time i see it. collecting dust in my chest. but but you have to still exercise. it's a bit like peloton . peloton is vr. yeah you peloton. peloton is vr. yeah you are looking at a screen , are looking at a screen, somebody cycling in front of you or landscape and you're still doing the and encourages you to doing the and encourages you to do more of it. i think so. so the idea is that if you're in a virtual world, they can somehow coax you into doing more exercise than would exercise than you would otherwise do. is that right? yeah, do that
1:57 am
