whole year and a record 45,756 migrants crossed the channel year illegally. i mean, those are the ones that we about. i should imagine there are some there detected despite efforts by ministers to try and stop the people smuggling. and finally , people smuggling. and finally, third thing, that there's a pain for rishi, the trade unions are preparing more strikes with some with strikes over christmas . but with strikes over christmas. but royal with a drive in royal mail with a drive in instruct those all kinds of border obviously you know border force. obviously you know most things actually work better without but the sector without but the public sector people they're . it's such a people they're. it's such a shame for rishi he just gave us a new year message of hope and positivity and on the first day it get scuppered. yeah it's it all get scuppered. yeah it's almost if prime and prime almost as if prime and prime ministers issues to ministers always have issues to deal with. but yeah, he said. and it new year new year message the attitude been tough because of the cost of living crisis i mean it must be bad if somebody married a billion is of married a billion here is of enough for francis. what do you make i mean the make of this i mean the migration has apparently risen exponentially compared exponentially this year compared to year. is he going to be to last year. is he going to be able do anything

able to do anything about. because seem to be because it doesn't seem to be that the conservative government has able to tackle this. has been able to tackle this. i would contender and say would actually contender and say they to tackle they haven't wanted to tackle it personally. mattel came up with the and plan equality, the rules and the plan equality, made point she might well made the point she might well have said that they deport them to narnia. it was never going to happen, was never going to work. no court human no european court of human rights. wasn't, you know, rights. it wasn't, you know, maybe if they weren't outsourcing their judiciary elsewhere. and elsewhere. exactly. and the problem because you problem is and because you get a lot of on the left who lot of people on the left who are you know, we just are saying, you know, we just let everybody the let everybody in. but the reality these come over to reality is these come over to this country via people smugglers. yeah that's it. who.7 they're smugglers. yeah that's it. who? they're paying thousands of pounds. they're risking their lives. people are dying in the channel. it needs be sorted out and the conservatives want to do it and also the not the best people. i mean, i'm not i've got i've got absolutely no problem. with levels of immigration with high levels of immigration from kong ukraine that from kong ukraine places that will be culturally a similar bill and they don't have to be. but just, you know, the basically places where you can form a queue. yeah. oh, great

food. yeah you you can't make assumptions about all of the people that are coming out. no no, no. a lot of them will have legitimate reasons for wanting no, no. a lot of them will have legcomete reasons for wanting no, no. a lot of them will have legcome here. sons for wanting no, no. a lot of them will have legcome here. they're wanting no, no. a lot of them will have legcome here. they're just ting no, no. a lot of them will have legcome here. they're just not to come here. they're just not going the right way going about it the right way that the legitimate that people, the legitimate reasons wanting to come here reasons for wanting to come here is just you, the country, the only who level, only people who want this level, insanely level of illegal insanely high level of illegal immigration people the immigration is people in the left on the far right left and people on the far right because in right know because in the far right know that it will precipitate a new a raft of support. but even if you take the view that, you know, we need to be compassionate to these people, which i do take that view, but even if you take that view, but even if you take that view, but even if you take that view, 8% from a distance, but it's any way to enable but it's not any way to enable a system where people smugglers are abuse people are able to abuse these people and even you and exploit them. even if you take that you to do take that view, you to do something every something about this and every single all know every single person we all know every single person we all know every single person we all know every single person who says, oh, we should just everybody in. we should just let everybody in. we should just let everybody in. we should all the poor should have every all the poor and world, and dispossessed of the world, just who wants to come just anybody who wants to come here. there are millions here. and there are millions just of them are just come and none of them are going put a sign on the door saying anybody who's come across

the but unlocked. the channel but door's unlocked. come leave me yourself come on in and leave me yourself at home have you know none at home have a and you know none of are going to be doing of them are going to be doing that article is for that and this article is for fools. article talking fools. article is also talking about the nhs 500 dying or we were going get two at the were going to get two at the moment because front moment because all of the front covers are covering it. yeah, but in mail is but this article in the mail is also unions walk and also about the unions walk and the rail strikes i mean, the rail strikes again. i mean, that's looking good, is it, that's not looking good, is it, france? not looking good france? no not looking good because problem that we're because the problem that we're facing because facing now is, because of lockdown, printed too lockdown, because we printed too much, a problem much, we now have a problem a massive problem with inflation and of the time with these and a lot of the time with these pubuc and a lot of the time with these public these public public sector pay these public workers after , the 2008 crash, a workers after, the 2008 crash, a lot of them haven't had a significant pay rise. so they haven't a significant pay rise plus . the haven't a significant pay rise plus. the problem of haven't a significant pay rise plus . the problem of inflation. plus. the problem of inflation. so they've had a real wage cut and they've all walked out en masse so we are facing a huge problem in this country. so can you sympathise with the rail strikers? i know steve. your question really should have been as soon as we that robot arm that can like pick up a cup of

coffee or press a button, they should have been replaced because this was real stuff. you know, you can replace the cleaners those little cleaners. one of those little you them for your you can get them for your living. the little of living. the little voice of compassion of compassion is the goal. of course, long time ever sitting next example . good. but next to an example. good. but right now . look, the nhs is right now. look, the nhs is dominating on the front pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i inating on the front pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said,ig on the front pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said, we're:he front pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said, we're going nt pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said, we're going to pages. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said, we're going to go es. right now. look, the nhs is d0|i said, we're going to go to as i said, we're going to go to the the mirror now. the front of the mirror now. francis under the mirror goes with the story. 500 deaths a week due to the nhs crisis. the new poll. is that a new sort of study? yes so the royal college of medicine president adrian boyle has said that the nhs cannot like this and it is unsafe and undignified as he fired off a warning to the tory ministers. yeah, hundreds of patients dying unnecessarily as a bad season compounds systemic problems in the nhs. so there's covid, there's a flu . there is covid, there's a flu. there is also problems . well, because also problems. well, because dunng also problems. well, because during the lockdowns weren't getting treatment for a variety

of different ailments, cancer deaths up. and what we have now is a system that is dangerously close to collapse. so the point here isn't that are dying while they're waiting for treatment which will inevitably happen anyway but that these are preventable unnecessary deaths. yes, right. yes. and people are actually they're dying. most are waiting treatment. they're waiting for treatment. they're also simply unable to get treatment any shape or form. there's actually a story here that don't have sufficient . so that don't have sufficient. so even if they were able to get to somebody's house to treat them , somebody's house to treat them, it might not make a difference if they need oxygen, what can they do? what can the government do? sort of get the nhs in order? what doing order? well, what doing is they're a more they're spending a lot more money. the pumping of an extra £14.1 billion of extra funding into, the nhs is a lot of into, into the nhs is a lot of money. it is and much needed though, right. is much needed. i mean, where's it where's it going to come from? we're already paying. so what the already paying. so tax what the can i can't believe it can are more i can't believe it works so well that's why time

that's why we're in this mess there are so many unfilled positions and it's not just about money, there are many about money, there are so many unfilled positions nhs. unfilled positions in the nhs. i really government has really think the government has really dropped the ball on everything, in particular everything, but in particular the nhs and people are being pushed the private pushed, the private sector people being to see private people are being to see private doctors and also become their own gp's self prescribed things. and that's not, that's not see and they can't afford it for them. well for their own money. yeah, exactly it's an option that's only available people that's only available to people who afford . yeah. and also who can afford. yeah. and also those, people already paid those, those people already paid tax nhs like what else tax for the nhs like what else is going on. we pay so tax in this country. so much of it is frittered away. we've got a story coming up a bit millions being given to councils to plant trees, are dying trees, that the trees are dying because. councils because. obviously, councils can't . why can't do anything properly. why are we wasting so money, equality, diversity and inclusion . arts council, inclusion. the arts council, we've an organised that we've got an organised that pumps out our our , our taxes to pumps out our our, our taxes to artists . well don't worry about artists. well don't worry about it now because as soon as labour get in they'll be okay, we'll definitely all this stuff we're going to stick with the care

industry . leo going to stick with the care industry. leo this is the telegraph. they've got a story about. childcare, yes about. childcare, is it? yes a rishi sunak is shelve plans a major overhaul of the child care system . those aimed at saving system. those aimed at saving parents money, helping them back into work . so liz truss would be into work. so liz truss would be looking i mean, obviously liz truss this ideas get scrapped but been looking but she'd been looking at increasing childcare support by 20 hours a week and ending the mandated staff, the child ratio. so the you know quite a small of children per member staff you know for safety reasons and this i mean you might this is going to cost money time when , you to cost money time when, you know we can't afford to spend any more money. but long term this is a quite a good idea. okay, i'm not normally in favour of the big state or anything, but we do need to do to pay for my child. yeah. so it's all about you. i'm all about socialism when it comes to me. yeah this this is something we to encourage people to have more children . we a replacement we children. we a replacement we below where it needs to be and

you know i think we should have more people sort of coming into country instead of coming across the channel in rickety boats. they should come through women's birth and good birth canal. and that's good that's right. well, i'll make sure a children here. sure i have a few children here. yeah. and also it would mean parents could could work harder and contribute more to the economy. so it's thumbs from economy. so it's a thumbs from leo what do think, leo kearse. what do you think, frances part of frances foster i think part of the problem which i didn't actually touch this actually touch on in this article was the number of people who took early retirement during the pandemic. it was around 700, 2000. so what you have is 700,000 people who highly skilled , a lot of whom were skilled, a lot of whom were doing their jobs very, very effectively and en masse. they the workforce. so what we've been left is a workforce is lacking leadership and it's got a lot of roles. it simply can't be filled. is it just the good people that left? are we just left with the dregs that yeah, that's pretty much yeah. oh, good situation at all. but we're going to be away from the nhs

now the newspaper, which now to the sun newspaper, which has story about the princes has a story about the princes harry william francis. more harry and william francis. more feuding. yes, i'm you didn't do that headline . harry and wills, that headline. harry and wills, gloves , all that. oh oh, i miss gloves, all that. oh oh, i miss that. yes, because i naturally correct. bad spelling . whenever correct. bad spelling. whenever i read something, that's just my instinct table for it would be a massive typo would but it's actually a very funny pun is so there we go so the rules are bracing for meghan to release her tell all memoir. there we go. in the desperate hunt for they're releasing another 16 memoirs. but yes harry got four coming out yeah he's good he's. good. yeah. yeah. so it's not just the first one spare. yeah, there's another three planned. how long does he live exactly. there's not that to say. there's not that much to say. although did have a six although they did have a six part documentary. know part documentary. yeah. you know , 50, part documentary. yeah. you know , so, you know, there you go. because obviously when want because obviously when you want privacy make privacy much, you need to make sure people know you need sure people know that you need the privacy . anyway, the privacy. but anyway, according publishing according to a publishing insider, the duke sussex has gonein insider, the duke sussex has gone in hard on his.

insider, the duke sussex has gone in hard on his . that's gone in hard on his. that's problematic. and it's going to be released on january the 10th. but the is it's like he's actually going quite on his dad and he's been too hard on his dad . but there's going to be dad. but there's going to be a lot of stuff regarding william . lot of stuff regarding william. it just going to be. so is william going to write a book now about harry? is that the way it's going? it's just going be a war of memoirs. i think. i think william's got more class than that. he doesn't need the money. he's a he's like king or whatever. a prince. be king prince. well, he will be king one the one of them. but one of the one of them. but who's buying books? i can who's buying these books? i can i can believe it. i watched some of the netflix documentary and then was the like the then it was the most like the doll, dreary thing, the doll, most dreary thing, the most self—aggrandising thing. yeah. it was the number yeah. and then it was the number one thing on netflix. so someone's watching it. well, guess it was me, but i was only watching it to confirm that. it is. just lot of people hate is. it just a lot of people hate watching or a lot of people watching or a lot of people watching out of curiosity. watching it out of curiosity. yeah, thing the yeah, curious. the thing is the thing no, the curiosity is thing and no, the curiosity is waning you we've

waning because, you know, we've seen all the francis lure diminishing returns. they can't milk for too long list diminishing returns. they can't nwell for too long list diminishing returns. they can't nwell harry for too long list diminishing returns. they can't nwell harry fry r too long list diminishing returns. they can't nwell harry fry has) long list diminishing returns. they can't nwell harry fry has receivedt diminishing returns. they can't nwell harry fry has received . . well harry fry has received. a n £18.4 million advance on the an £18.4 million advance on the book.so an £18.4 million advance on the book. so a money spot. so my family under the bus . fair family under the bus. fair enough. you go mum to the 57. you go . finally, we're going to you go. finally, we're going to go to the front cover of the daily star there. what's this one about? so is this barking mad? and this is the daily star actually leading with some of the investigative the best investigative journalism on all the front pages. discovered the pages. they've discovered the £11 million of taxpayers cash has spent on thousands of trees to be in a of mad dash for to be in a sort of mad dash for eco credentials by councils. and because they've been in such a such a hurry to plant them, they haven't planted them properly. i know they're. all dying. so apparently the average rate of death for fresh freshly trees is around 90 to 95. but is way more and more local authorities aren't even recording if they're dying . so you know, who'd have

dying. so you know, who'd have thought the government terrible is money. i it's is spending money. i mean it's almost if the government almost as if the government shouldn't tax office and shouldn't take tax office and try spend because spend try and spend it because spend it better ourselves . we could we it better ourselves. we could we could have planted those trees ourselves. something that ourselves. it was something that needed quite hard needed to be is quite a hard hitting for daily star. hitting for the daily star. i mean, yesterday were mean, yesterday they were imploring drunk imploring us all to get drunk through our january on their own call. it good idea. almost call. it good idea. it's almost like you see a piece fair like when you see a piece fair and balanced in the and balanced journalism in the garden each that's happened garden in each that's happened for at least ten years. well michelle most michelle moon story was actually a brilliant piece of advice. there are enough share journalism by them. but it just to show but yeah, it just goes to show that the amount of wastage goes on within government departments . we are strapped cash and we're wasting it . a rate that seems to wasting it. a rate that seems to be , on an unprecedented scale . be, on an unprecedented scale. yeah, not good at all. well, anyway we. that's enough. the part one coming up we've got the extinction new year's resolution what social media is doing to children's mental health. it isn't . and what life could look isn't. and what life could look after death for one particular

new yorker. see a minute .

welcome back to headline news with me, andrew doyle and comedy panel leo kearse and frances foster. now you've seen what's on the front pages. we got to have a look inside. we're going to start here with monday's guardian and extinction rebellion made some new year's resolutions. francis yes, they have rebellion have the extinction rebellion announces from announces move away from disruptive tactics , said climate disruptive tactics, said climate protest group says temporary shift will prioritise relationships over roadblocks. it's almost they realise people are getting really annoyed with them and block the roads and basically causing a health and safety hazards and stopping people from getting to and the climate protest has said are shifting tactics disruptions such as smashing windows and

glueing themselves to public . i glueing themselves to public. i mean they're going to stop breaking the law. yeah they're going to stop breaking the law yeah it's good stuff and they're going prioritise attendance over rest and relationships over road blocks. yeah so conversations exactly persuade someone this way. yeah. there is all this, this screaming and shouting and glueing that doesn't seem to work it. but the thing is , work does it. but the thing is, the i have with the problem that i have with groups like this and just stop is none of the solutions that they offer . they're not they offer. they're not workable. well, you're going to stop . and then what are we going stop. and then what are we going to do after the entire economy live in caves? yeah exactly. yeah. well, the and the chinese, they're still going to pump out tonnes carbon. so they just tonnes of carbon. so they just stop oil. aren't saying they're going to stop these sort of disruptive extinction disruptive it's just extinction rebellion. it's one step. rebellion. so it's one one step. yeah. yes just stop. oil are still still going to do i still still going to do it. i mean all, of them are mean all, all of them are massive all of them massive hypocrites. all of them loads yeah. and the loads of energy. yeah. and the transport this stuff, transport and all this stuff, they try and they try and stop. so yeah, complete hypocrites so yeah, the complete hypocrites of about reducing

of they care about reducing their footprint. their own carbon footprint. i don't what do with don't care what they do with their carbon footprint. their own carbon footprint. don't my carbon don't come at my carbon footprint mine, know. footprint as mine, you know. i mean, if want to reduce own mean, if they want to reduce own carbon to if carbon footprint to zero, if they really wanted to that, they really wanted to do that, they really wanted to do that, they it killing they could do it by killing themselves. but of course, themselves. yes. but of course, you're recommending that. you're not recommending that. but i'm just saying it's an opfion but i'm just saying it's an option leo. really option now, leo. it's really that much when you lead by example. well i don't think they're going to do that . but do they're going to do that. but do you have any sympathy at all, leo, insofar no going to say no, but just hear out here but just hear me out here insofar they genuinely insofar as they genuinely believe world is coming to believe the world is coming to an that the apocalypse is an end, that the apocalypse is around unless leo around the corner, unless leo kearse change your behaviour and stop flying all around the world there cult mean. there are doomsday cult mean. that's not a rational position we've seen for as long as i've been alive, which a long been alive, which is a long time. people have said that the world is about to end. there's going to be another. in the seventies was new age. seventies there was a new age. then all this, you know, then there's all this, you know, acid every year acid rain and ever every year there's like the world's about to and still here and to end and it's still here and it's going to continue to be here. i mean, the world is

getting slightly warmer in certain is not certain places and that is not entirely a bad thing. it's going to bad in some ways . good in entirely a bad thing. it's going to waysn some ways . good in entirely a bad thing. it's going to ways . some ways . good in entirely a bad thing. it's going to ways . but|e ways . good in entirely a bad thing. it's going to ways . but the ays . good in entirely a bad thing. it's going to ways . but the government| other ways. but the government response to it is already happening. so i don't even know what they're about. the what they're upset about. the government doing way government is already doing way more than it should and the government response to be government response going to be far and far more far more harmful and far more people climate do people than climate change. i do remember being at school remember francis being at school , any geography , being taught in any geography lesson by year 2000, lesson that by the year 2000, all fuels will be all fossil fuels will be depleted. yes. and then off. and the problem with that is , is the problem with that is, is geography. were geography. lessons were all taught teachers some taught pe teachers for some weird reason you that yeah. so what would the pe know about anything but. what would the pe know about anything but . look the what would the pe know about anything but. look the thing is they do have a point . some they do have a point. some instances 2022 was the warmest on record . the uk, the met on record. the uk, the met office has said, and the team year on record of all occurred since 2003. but problem is, is that technology is what is going to used to solve this problem . to used to solve this problem. yes, nuclear power is a far more credible . so the doomsday credible. so the doomsday people, they never really think

about the history of humanity and the way in which humanity develops new technology to deal with never with problems they'd. never take that account. you would that into account. and you would have that would be have thought that would be relevant, yeah because relevant, right? yeah because it's so important once you it's so important that once you highlight problem most highlight a problem and most people on board i mean, leo people are on board i mean, leo is in a minority of about 80 for why the most people come on board with saying one as people see the actual besides i mean the natural world is constantly sequestering from the sequestering carbon from the elements if you look at the elements but if you look at the white of dover, those all white cliffs of dover, those all calcium carbonate, there's been the atmosphere, carbon been the atmosphere, the carbon been dragged atmosphere dragged through the atmosphere by shellfish, and that's happening time. we're happening all the time. we're going to get to the point where actually historically at actually historically we're at very carbon dioxide very low carbon dioxide levels in atmosphere. going in the atmosphere. we're going to point where we to get to the point where we actually become to, well actually need to become to, well back these the kind back in. but these are the kind of conversations now have of conversations we now have because extinction rebellion. i'm to you, leo, i'm going to talk to you, leo, rather than themselves to rather than glue themselves to your but the want your front porch. but the want to to well whatever to talk to them well whatever they do do it do they want to do do it do whatever you to do in your whatever you want to do in your own life. there's life you own life. there's my life you can't control from. can't control somebody from. please just basically

please just stop. just basically stake themselves. flat. stake themselves. leo's flat. yeah. we've got to move on yeah. well we've got to move on now to monday's this is bad news for the english taxpayer leo. you've got some more more taxes. you've got some more more taxes. you love taxes. don't you know , you love taxes. don't you know, don't mind if we've got like some premium , you know, swiss some premium, you know, swiss style service for the taxpayers . yeah, yeah. well, we don't this is a classic example. so engush english taxpayers are bankrolling ghost government english taxpayers are bankro|across1ost government english taxpayers are bankro|across walesyvernment english taxpayers are bankro|across wales as'nment english taxpayers are bankro|across wales as nine 1t english taxpayers are bankro|across wales as nine in offices across wales as nine in ten of wales is civil servants work from home so nine in ten years there's over 5000 5287 people are contracted to work for the welsh government. but only people actually turning up to work at home and i mean in terms of actually turning to the office, but working from home is usually a shave anyway. just 549 people turned up in september. okay so does this suggest that the devolved governments are not necessarily a good idea, but devolved governments are a terrible idea for a lot more reasons than this. but this reasons than this. but i this doesn't happen devolved doesn't just happen in devolved governments this this sort of waste profligacy is and

waste and profligacy is and westminster's got the government the westminster overseas so i mean working from home is in lower quality public because it's hard to measure they don't have the mechanisms in place to measure output and through working from home but it's not even saving money because they're still paying for all these offices. i have to say, francis, i'm not convinced the working from home thing, you know, because i didn't work for my i can't just leave a my man. i can't just leave a carbon cut of me to sit here carbon cut out of me to sit here and i sort of zoom in and do and i can sort of zoom in and do the rest like you did it. i yeah. what do you make of it? well, i the problem is, is this again, goes back to the again, it goes back to the pandemic and fact, the pandemic and in fact, the private. so you much the private. so you see much of the same problems that the public sector because sector is seeing because people got seeing home, got used to seeing your home, basically doing bit of work basically doing a bit of work for about 40 minutes then for about 40 minutes and then going a wander, going off, having a wander, having coming by having a scratch, coming by doing of a couple of minutes, not lot work. and people not doing a lot work. and people have the have gone actually want the money the office. why money to go the office. why should bother can just should i bother when i can just sit home and do sweet sit at home and do sweet nothing. yeah how would you

resolve this? would you have a westminster and to westminster step in and say to the welsh government, you've got to or to do something about this? or do their autonomy is do you think their autonomy is should be retained? well, this should be retained? well, this should of funding. should cut some of the funding. i surely, if one in ten i mean, surely, if one in ten people actually turning up people are actually turning up to yeah, we can to the office. yeah, we can close offices, can can close offices, can cut we can cut funding, maybe should it. cut funding, maybe should do it. these they're these people are they're not like hardworking headliners. panellists. it's not work panellists. it's not for work for an hour a day. for as long as an hour a day. you know, it's been pretty tough. tonight plus tough. you've hard tonight plus 20 minutes prepare i to listen don't that exactly okay don't forget that exactly okay we're going to on to the we're going to move on to the guardian now and apparently social for children social media is bad for children is exactly who is that francis exactly who would have thought that a survey conducted by the youth mental health charity four said health charity stem four said that nearly half of all children and people questioned had and young people questioned had become start it become withdrawn. start it exercising excessively, which probably not a bad thing when comes to the whole obesity crisis. stop socialising completely or self—harmed in response to online bullying and trolling about physical appearance . four in ten said appearance. four in ten said they were suffering mental

distress. 14% experience eating difficulties as extreme restrictive eating , binge eating restrictive eating, binge eating purging , restrictive eating, binge eating purging, vomiting and a lot of this the vast majority is being connected to social media, children spending so much on social media. tik tok instagram , whatever else. what extent is it social media? is it other factors that come into play fashion, social contagion, that kind of thing ? well, there kind of thing? well, there there's always been problem in there's always been a problem in all girls schools , anorexia. all girls schools, anorexia. there's always been a problem with i think there has always been a problem. i think there's been a problem. i think there's been problem that for about been problem with that for about 15, n0 been problem with that for about 15, no that, 15, 20 years. no than that, really. i mean, the generation above us, they didn't have. a social contagion, in social contagion, anorexia in schools and they didn't schools at all. and they didn't have either. that have self—harming either. that was came and was something that came in and so there a susceptibility so there is a susceptibility among girls particularly among teenage girls particularly for contagion at the for sexual contagion at the moment non—binary moment it's non—binary identities. but it was identities. yeah but it was self—harm got to self—harm. we've also got to look mean, this is survey look i mean, this is a survey done a that depends done by a charity that depends on for this being on funding for this being a problem. yeah. so this is like me doing a survey saying. do we have enough scottish comedians

called leo? yeah, need more called leo? yeah, we need more there's, you know, a huge demand for them . so this you know, for them. so this is you know, there's that. and also i know people sort of medical people people sort of medical examiner i think a thing that have disorders you have been eating disorders you going back than that you going back longer than that you know sixties know certainly the sixties people take kinds of people used to take all kinds of drugs. to the extent, though drugs. not to the extent, though is what i'm maybe not to the same extent. maybe not in schools this contagion way. but, you certainly people have you know, certainly people have done and have noticed done that and also have noticed any time and it's a woman said to me, i used have this terrible eating and. see eating disorder and. i see pictures, wow, you pictures, i'm like, wow, you look amazing. know? mean, look amazing. you know? i mean, so not isn't the case. so so that's not isn't the case. so there has to be some parental responsibility here. i mean, should you keep the kids off their right. well their smartphones? right. well of all no. a child have a smartphone. it really is not simple. why do they need a smartphone ? i remember when i smartphone? i remember when i was was teacher, i a was when i was teacher, i was a primary school teacher. and dunng primary school teacher. and during parents evening, i had one parent ask me the question. mr. foster, how do i stop my from going on their ipad ? yeah. from going on their ipad? yeah. and take it away take it away.

how about you stop being a parent . did how about you stop being a parent. did you say that to the parents ? yes. and that's why i'm parents? yes. and that's why i'm let them know . and but that's let them know. and but that's the real problem with this is that parents no longer want be parents children shouldn't have access to a smartphone. they shouldn't certainly shouldn't have access to social media apps like instagram and tiktok , which like instagram and tiktok, which have fundamentally damaged to the human brain, and particularly damaging to a young. i mean, i have to say whenever i see sort of parents in pubs, something with or restaurant with their child, sometimes five old sometimes like a five year old child just to an ipad, child just glued to an ipad, find it a bit heartbreaking. the trouble is, is incredibly convenient. it is your child in front a screen of front of a screen instead of engage because obviously you want your own phone. want to go with your own phone. yeah, an easy yeah, that's it. that's an easy way get by yourself. that's way to get by yourself. that's how i sympathise how i. no, no, i sympathise because are awkward because children are awkward and difficult going to be difficult is going to be annoying. pick the healthy option. candy option. just give them candy crush them again . crush candy crush them again. we're going to move on now. leo, this daily now. we did this is the daily now. we did discuss this story the other day. you fill us in?

day. you want to fill us in? this is about your homeland. yes police scotland basically came under the term under fire for using the term minor. track. people or minor. a track. two people or persons. discussed this the persons. we discussed this the other turned they other day and it turned out they were actually need to were and we actually need to identify this. they were quoting someone else. well, this this is what so they've denied what they say. so they've denied using attracted using this term minor attracted people a euphemism for and people to as a euphemism for and a major report after they came under fire. but they said they quoted this proposal document but they still used the term in the report. that's not a lie. but i think they snip. i think no, but i think are to be fair, they also said that it was an unacceptable. they did and that was the i mean they used and also they said part of their excuse was like, we lobbied excuse was like, oh, we lobbied for this freeze for this euphemism to be used, you know, as eu consortium that as part the eu consortium that but they still you know what it does to you it's like your police scotland why are you letting people push you around me. offer them more. i got they're not tough by any but they're not tough by any but they're the ones who are constantly we're constantly tweeting out we're going on your if

going to knock on your door if you post an offensive. that's so tough. yeah. see. tough. yeah, yeah. oh, i see. they're just i'll say, they're just like, i'll say, okay, what do you think? okay, well, what do you think? because, know, i, i made because, you know, i, i made this point the other day is that, you know, quite clear from the they actually the article that they actually hadnt the article that they actually hadn't phrase insults hadn't used the phrase insults in is describing. in way that leo is describing. they're advocating. it is they're not advocating. it is a horribly euphemistic which kind of away horror of of just takes away horror of paedophilia trying to paedophilia by by trying to dress nice, minor, dress it up in a nice, minor, attractive, personal way as a as attractive, personal way as a as a sexuality . yeah, exactly. a sexuality. yeah, exactly. exactly. well think they should rebrand that minor attracted and then and everyone's everyone's happy, you know, they get the term and then you we know what it means . term and then you we know what it means. great solution term and then you we know what it means . great solution there it means. great solution there from mr. foster. we're going to move on to the guardian, which bnngs move on to the guardian, which brings us story about a possible life after death for new yorkers and. this is a story that we can all get behind. new york governor , human composting governor, human composting death. oh, so state sixth to pass. legislature since 2019 and gives new yorkers access to an alternative green method a bury

. and so but don't worry you simply it's not like for instance you could be disposed of and then we toss your body onto a compost heap . there is a onto a compost heap. there is a way of doing it. so they must be delivered to a cemetery, certified as an organic reduction facility . that is a reduction facility. that is a euphemism in paper. i've heard one suitably contained and ventilated. no containing a battery pack power is so radioactive or radioactive device . and then what they do is device. and then what they do is they put you on straw and. then they put you on straw and. then the micro, the microbes there never go. i mean, it's a bit macabre. i don't suppose it's any differently than when you're actually buried in the worms. eu basically the same thing, just the faster process , but the faster process, but basically the same thing, although they're no, although fact that they're no, you human you know, calling it human composting some a bit composting this is some a bit dehumanising. you know dehumanising. yeah you know we're about six months away from from turning into i really you're wrong about that i think i draw the line cannibalism but the all collective order of good death i mean there's a catchy

title urge the governor to commit his signature . and also commit his signature. and also the series of decorative coloured cards reading compost me and i want to be a tree. but they make it sound so sweet. yeah. anyway that's the end of this part. but coming up, why the taliban are concerned for andrew tate. why stress be the key to old age and? trouble brewing for netflix? don't go anywhere .

welcome back to headline as your first look at monday's newspapers. we're going to start this section with the daily star and the taliban is worried about andrew tate's wellbeing . yeah andrew tate's wellbeing. yeah aren't we all but samir khan, who's the former miss new jersey and he's dubbed tate's wifey if they're husband and wife or boyfriend . but she claims that boyfriend. but she claims that the taliban are worried about the taliban are worried about

the top guy . like the taliban are worried about the top guy. like i guess as well i know if that's what the taliban called him i'm assuming how does she know what the taliban are worried about, i'm not totally sure. and i'll have spoken to her. i don't know if there's been, you know, a message appeared in a toast or what, but the taliban see. westerners need andrew tate, because we are oppressed by feminists. so an agreement that agree with the taliban . you're agree with the taliban. you're well on board with the taliban aren't you? but that's when the taliban are on twitter awful lot. so maybe they've dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe they've dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe into 've dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe into ae dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe into a dms dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe into a dms , dming taliban are on twitter awful loyeah maybe into a dms , but ng a yeah sliding into a dms, but what do you think of this, francis? whoa, you francis? whoa, imagine you wanting to get your partner or your husband freed from a romanian jail you were all given. is the taliban worried this is not the best selection? it is true that the taliban have contacted her and said this. wouldn't she keep that a secret that doesn't help her position at all. you know, you want you want extinction, right? exactly i love this lane as well this is since his rise to fame earlier

this year, the former kickboxing champion has proved a divisive figure. but it's only the 1st of january . he's figure. but it's only the 1st of january. he's already proving pretty divisive , so. fair pretty divisive, so. fair enough. anyway, we're going to move on to next story now. this is the guardian and good feedback each love feedback on each other's love language is the key to world leadership. exactly. so this is about how love languages has been helping couples for 30 years. and it may be your partner and you speak too . love partner and you speak too. love languages . so what it means is languages. so what it means is we all need different things in a relationship . you know, some a relationship. you know, some people and you know, they need affection, some people need to be listened to and it's all about that, basically how in relationships we all need some things a little bit different looking you would be sceptical little face but i'm very scared i don't really understand what this is saying or why it's a news article. no, i completely agree you. it's cool. but agree with you. it's cool. but it's january the first, so there's no news analysts are printing that wrote printing stuff that they wrote six months. so what's the upshot

of this? what do we just have to be more sort of verbal with our. absolutely. there's different ways that partners communicate . ways that partners communicate. so she's saying, you know, she communicate through a little gift stuff and he communicates through hugging or whatever and he moaned that she she wasn't giving him enough hugs . and she giving him enough hugs. and she said, yeah. but like we said, oh, yeah. but like we urinate. so he was on a ten hour flight for work extinction to go and that. and was a ten and saw that. and he was a ten hour for work and. she hour flight for work and. she made care package , made them this care package, which included a bag of liquorice, pack of incense in liquorice, a pack of incense in a boogie laminate. when a boogie board laminate. when you tampon in there as you put a tampon in there as well, do know what he's well, do you know what he's saying? well, she so. they saying? well, she says so. they also about, i think also told a story about, i think , the person and, you know, , the same person and, you know, he said he said to her that she's lacking in physical affection. she bristled at the accusation and then clamped her mouth shut, which i think is part of the problem. you know what? all of these people sound insufferable newspapers. they send of send guard to god. and of course, it's in the okay, we're going from that, going to move on from that, hopefully to some proper news. oh no, we're sticking with god.

oh, it appears the key oh, well, so it appears the key to staying healthy stress to staying healthy is stress only this a stress. good only this week a stress. good for you. i was in so could be stressful this week and i'm fine. yeah i've decided not to get medical advice from get my medical advice from newspapers. yeah but your research low level research indicates low level stress from moderate exercise or work can enhance our cognitive and physical abilities later in life. i mean , don't know the life. i mean, don't know if the really this isn't really stress i can sort of stress to be when you're you under you know you've got an ulcer in your under. oh i think you know then you've think you know but then you've got things you can't this got these things you can't this work is mostly kind of good fun. you seem people get you seem seeing people you get on with your work, you know , a on with your work, you know, a lot of people don't share that experience and they sort of compare it to resistance exercise. so okay. you know, as you do resistance , you get you do resistance, you get stronger, better cardiovascular system bones and stuff and yeah, so it's the same kind of thing if you work and if you have like some mental stress, you're working on the neural pathways that are going to open later that are going to be open later on life, in other words, that

on in life, in other words, that don't on in life, in other words, that dont an on in life, in other words, that don't an easy life. yeah, don't have an easy life. yeah, i just sit and i mean, you see it in scotland where so many just sit. yeah, you just stare sit. yeah, you just sit, stare at tv. not going to at the tv. you're not going to you're not going to it seems you're not going to be, it seems just or just common just distant or just common sense. all know this, don't sense. we all know this, don't we, frances? think more and we, frances? i think more and more actually many ways more i actually in many ways kudos for printing kudos the guardian for printing it and more people. the it more and more people. the momentary. yeah momentary. the guardian. yeah should because i still should do mine because i still would speaking the would like it. but speaking the same time, my youngest one my comedy career back. so i'm the guardian often enough on gb news and they'll get me back but no i genuinely think that there's a lot people see even the lot of people who see even the slight bit of confrontation as a huge amount of stress . actually, huge amount of stress. actually, we need that in our we need to be challenged , we need to be be challenged, we need to be confronted. we need to work out problems. we need to solve problems. we need to solve problems. i wrote in the guardian, readers need to be checked. do indeed, checked. yeah, they do indeed, they absolutely do. anyway, we're now we're moving to the times now and this mother is not giving up on her dreams. and this mother is not giving up on her dreams . francis know at on her dreams. francis know at the age of 52, a part time has

rediscovered her love , her love rediscovered her love, her love of jogging in lockdown has become a champion athlete . become a champion athlete. what's that slogan? you stay? no anyway, sunny cooke was used to ferrying her children weekly swimming, athletics, ballet and football classes. but she when she was at stevenage club and she was at stevenage club and she started join in and now she holds the british records from 100 metres to 800 metres in the women's 50 to 55 age group, which shall soon be identifying as and then smashing all the records. now, come on, frances, let's not be cynical about this. the name of this individual, the name of this individual is sally cooke, known is remarkable in cooke, known is so remarkable in his i think she deserves his eyes. i think she deserves to post it's a positive to be named post it's a positive it's positive new year story come and she's faster come on exactly and she's faster than her daughter, bluebell. come on exactly and she's faster than her daughter, bluebell . and than her daughter, bluebell. and so this is like an infant, though. no, she's 19. so this is like an infant, though. no, she's19. so bluebell should be ashamed of herself. i don't think you can get me above the age of four with a name like bluebell. no you can't be a teenage girl, bluebell is a name for a cow or

something for a cow here. anyway, any thoughts on this one? yeah, it's great. you know, it's become. she started jogging after hairdresser which after being hairdresser which you dont after being hairdresser which you don't run you know isn't you don't run a bit a with hairdressing bit a lot with hairdressing because scissors because you're carrying scissors you ? yeah. yeah, it's you know? yeah. so, yeah, it's great. sally cook. great. well done, sally cook. well done. we're all very supportive. you, sally. anyway, we're move now. this we're going to move on now. this is guardian, which is the guardian, which says there be of customers there will be an of customers from it's already from netflix. it's already happened hasn't happened though, hasn't it. i think. they've they've think. yeah. so they've they've already exodus already had an exodus of customers according analysts customers but according analysts they're going to lose 700,000 more uk customers. so netflix expected to suffer a second year of falling subscribers in the uk as the cost . i mean they put the as the cost. i mean they put the they blame the cost of living crisis and the streaming giant's new cheaper ad supported service winning as many users as they hoped. oh, it's not because all of their drama series are really preachy and in some i mean, could that be part of it? also they seem to pay over odds. and i get the feeling whenever, you know, get commissioned to know, people get commissioned to produce netflix really

produce a show, a netflix really for the end, they just look at the and the phone number the cash and the phone number with a focus on, you with it's such a focus on, you know, diversity which know, diversity and stuff, which is know, it's great, is fine. you know, it's great, you diversity there. you know, diversity is there. i think, i think diversity was already there. but no, we're being beaten over the head with the only thing they focus on instead focusing instead of focusing on characters, lines think, characters, plot lines think, oh, i, i have to say there has been a drop in quality, but that's so preachy and eventually just, just is boring. yeah, it just, just is boring. yeah, it just is. it's a little and let's honest as well like i don't know how they make money because only one has a netflix account one person has a netflix account in this country and they just share the password . everybody. share the password. everybody. well that cracking share the password. everybody. well on that cracking share the password. everybody. well on the that cracking share the password. everybody. well on the sharingracking share the password. everybody. well on the sharing of king share the password. everybody. well on the sharing of passwords down on the sharing of passwords and funded by and they're actually funded by debt. hugely debt. so there are hugely indebted spike interest indebted the spike in interest will really bad news for them will be really bad news for them because they'll a lot more because they'll cost a lot more money. also so other money. well, also so many other streaming now with so streaming services now with so many shows, you know, many good shows, you know, there's there's there's other things on there's there's other things on there's the competition right up the competition is right up there now. so they can have to up game and the way to do up their game and the way to do will to stop hectoring the will be to stop hectoring the public. well, pay. public. yeah, well, pay. oh,

stop and look, stop some point. yeah. and look, let's it's not just let's fair. it's not just netflix it's everybody netflix everyone. it's everybody every seems get open every body seems to get open community once they write a script to think i'm going to tell you exactly how to think instead of maybe just telling your yeah, yeah . all your story. yeah, yeah. all right. the end of this right. that's the end of this part. the next part. but up in the next section, why china might start claiming the moon their own, the booze that won't make you wake up with a hangover and one man's strange chocolate acting addiction. see you in a couple of minutes .

welcome back to this with me, andrew doyle. we're going to jump andrew doyle. we're going to jump back into monday's newspapers now with the mirror. and it looks like the uk's celebrity walrus is on his travels again. yes thor, the celebrity walrus swims off to take off during gruelling new york break in the uk. so what

happened? the year's eve fireworks in scarborough were cancelled of this walrus. so he's enough. the human beings are kind of silly in their eyes. walrus is my . well, i had to walrus is my. well, i had to cancel the new satellite because it would have upset the fireworks would have upset the poor polar bears. political gone mad. but thought it was very sweet actually this this chilling scarborough chilling out in scarborough lying there on beach. yes. lying there on the beach. yes. he lying there on beach. he he was lying there on beach. he was drawing huge crowds . they was drawing huge crowds. they didn't want to wait. they didn't want because, you want to upset him because, you know, a bit sensitive know, he's a bit sensitive as everybody loud everybody is nowadays to loud sounds. yes you see the video. did you see what he was doing with no oh, with his flippers? no oh, really? what was he doing? movies we're going to keep movies well, we're going to keep that to ourselves, right? he was pleasuring what pleasuring himself. that's what animals do is you sort of in a bit of self—abuse. yeah. well, see. yeah animal, it's like when you go to the zoo and you watch the monkeys, you know what you you can't help yourself anyway live. but i think monkeys have but i think it's i didn't know this about walruses that they

sometimes just breast halfway there. that's what he was doing. i was just chilling out and then and then and then what for do you it's extension the you think it's extension the whole the is all that. i just to be fair but yeah it was i thought it was a quite heartwarming story. yeah. i'm all for the walrus anyway, going to move on now to the next door. this is the telegraph bringing us a about something many us a story about something many wish night as they wish they had last night as they wake headaches wake up with huge headaches today. is great news for today. so this is great news for the former tsar, professor the former drug tsar, professor david he was fired david not remember he was fired because made comments because he made comments about ecstasy bad ecstasy saying it wasn't as bad as government said it was. as the government said it was. and so he's developed a new chemical mean, this chemical chemical i mean, this chemical it's a drug. developed new it's a drug. he's developed new drug. he's a drug drug. he's he's he's a drug baron. developed baron. right. so he's developed a called, alcohol. and a new drug called, alcohol. and it in the american it was created in the american office that mimics the effects office that mimics the effects of alcohol. currently cash of alcohol. he's currently cash to fund its launch. so if are any gangsters out there who want to invest in a drug baron so you effectively get drunk, you have none of the negative side effects this is i mean, this is what you see. i mean, i assume a drug dealer would see is

drug dealer would see that is good. yes. we shouldn't good. yeah. yes. we shouldn't take him at face value so it puts in the to paint zone all night you drink more than night so you drink more than than or to paint swirls than to paint or to paint swirls and you don't get any, you know , don't drunker than that. , don't get drunker than that. it's your drunkenness. it's cops your drunkenness. what's the good in the happy level makes you don't a level it makes you don't have a hangoven level it makes you don't have a hangover. so i think that's fair enough. but the thing is, most of the flavour enough. but the thing is, most of the the flavour enough. but the thing is, most of the taste. the flavour enough. but the thing is, most of the taste. you the flavour enough. but the thing is, most of the taste. you know, flavour enough. but the thing is, most of the taste. you know, ifavour enough. but the thing is, most of the taste. you know, if your for the taste. you know, if you have a decent decent, you know, you this brand no no you get in this brand no no alcohol before the fight you find a decent chill to the right temperature. that's what i'm after. i don't want get wasted i'm buck fast like this i'm scott yeah i do cocaine for the smell come come on, francis. do you think this is a good idea? would you? you. i mean, you don't drink, so there's no way you. it is perfect. look. and we interviewed david on my show, okay? yeah. i'm not really him. i he's great. he's a very i think he's great. he's a very interesting guy, so i would be happy try won't down happy to try it. it won't down well either. ireland or well in either. ireland or scotland because you both have a problem with the drug. it's not

a problem. it's a cultural difference. you need to respect this. right. so this stuff is very expensive. a half litre very expensive. so a half litre at moment cost s £30. really? at the moment costs £30. really? yeah now, this is a great idea. i remember trying i was i remember trying when i was a child, which you're really not meant to do. really, really extremes. like 70% was extremes. i mean, like 70% was poutine. just poutine. it's like a it's just a an illegal self—made , is it? an illegal self—made, is it? it's irish. how did you get your hands on? oh, because i had irresponsible grandpa , of irresponsible grandpa, of course. anyway, we're going to move to the next story. now, this is the daily mail and china could have some major colonial ambitions francis. absolutely china could climb the moon as its own and ban us national from touching down now. so bos warns, can they do that? because didn't didn't the us but they put their flag there first. yeah they put their flag there first. so 1960s and the 1960s. but currently there's no one there at the moment. so find this keepers loose back there. yeah exactly. so new interview , the nasa so in a new interview, the nasa administrator, bill nelson says he and others , the scientific he and others, the scientific agency, they're getting very

concerned and very worried about it because he's worried that the chinese could corner the market on resource rich locations on the moon surface. and not only that they can then try and block u.s. satellites so what their vantage point on the rules who owns the moon i don't think anybody it right now i mean if anybody it right now i mean if anybody did i guess would be america because they planted the flag and at first but maybe you know i guess is let you see the strongest winds wants to colonise it first. yeah yeah terraform it yeah you can see know that's ours. we put a flag in it but unless can actually stop them and if the chinese get there first with this and they start putting buildings and you know starbucks restaurants start putting buildings and you know sthat. :ks restaurants start putting buildings and you know sthat. well staurants start putting buildings and you know sthat. well covidtts exactly that. well covid quarantine coming. yeah we got to see this. well, people their head so that's scary stuff scary stuff. anyway, we're going to be watching this story now. this is the sun and this man has an addiction and can't pack it addiction and just can't pack it in. oh so a dad who's collected

record breaking 19,500 crisp packets is preparing to pack in his passion after ten years. sounds like a bit of a silly then you read it and it's actually really sad. so a began collecting packets in 2012 is a distraction when his partner joanne richardson was with breast cancer and given six months to live. so i needed something. yeah, it's really, really sad. that's not flippant. as i thought the story was, i that pun now. yeah i've made light of it. oh yeah. and he's he's so he's collected all these, all his family and friends giving the press pack these, all his family and frithe s giving the press pack these, all his family and frithe grillstg the press pack these, all his family and frithe grills them press pack these, all his family and frithe grills them and;s pack these, all his family and frithe grills them and they:k these, all his family and frithe grills them and they turn is, he grills them and they turn into like a tiny shrivelled up ball. yes yes. i used to do that. then he puts them in that. and then he puts them in water they make nice water and they make nice patterns. like this is patterns. yeah. like so this is quite as well kind creative quite as well kind of creative slightly. unemployed and slightly. he's unemployed and which didn't hugely surprise , which didn't hugely surprise, but yeah, he's going to go on and get 20,000 by february and then he's going to he's then he's going to then he's going doing do you have going to doing it. do you have any thoughts on this, francis? i mean, i'll be honest with you. i don't it's you know, when don't it's like, you know, when someone i can quit any

someone says, i can quit any time. is an addiction, time. but it is an addiction, isn't isn't it? remember isn't it? isn't it? you remember that series that chris lily did the australian. yeah, and there's character and there's that character and that that and she just has various rooms odd things that rooms of odd things that she's collected those collected over many years. those people yeah. i mean this people exist. yeah. i mean this whole about who whole series about people who just things away and just can't throw things away and they keep them in it, it they just keep them in it, it can ruin their life. but isn't it a really strange addiction? where from where does that come from psychologically? because it's a desire to disconnect, essentially . that's what we want essentially. that's what we want to do. yeah. it's this to to do. yeah. it's this desire to disconnect. you disconnect. and whether you disconnect. and whether you disconnect with something like drugs, heroin it's drugs, heroin alcohol, it's that's what an addiction is. those make sense to me because that's a form of escapism. you know, if get drunk, is this know, if get drunk, this is this is yeah. and not is control. yeah. and like not being able to let go and people hoarders always see, you hoarders always see, oh, you come a broken i'm come through with a broken i'm going to fix it and all the rest it they sort of see the it so they can sort of see the potential in things and the nurturing and what it is, i think something a lot of have think is something a lot of have a lot people have. that is a lot of people have. that is a psychological treat. but, you know, people it know, with certain people it gets we overlook it a gets you know, we overlook it a little bit know i'll be able

little bit you know i'll be able to throw away in case i need it. yeah some point. but there's no way going to need lot way you're going to need a lot of stuff that these hoarders of the stuff that these hoarders keep, know, to need keep, you know, going to need shrivelled chris puckett shrivelled up chris puckett newspapers and newspapers you know mantras and things things like that. so yeah, not going you're yeah, you're not going to you're not have that and not going to have that and everything's online nowadays. so that's the story. that's but that's the story. but that's but that's the story. but that's but that's the story. but that's but that's the addiction that's part of the addiction because feel that they because they feel that they might and as well might need it. and also as well by, something you're by, collecting something you're not the real world not engaging with the real world because something because you are doing something has that makes sense has a process that makes sense within own which that within its own world, which that you to connect to you don't have to connect to have awful, horrible have all the awful, horrible things. psychological have all the awful, horrible things. for psychological have all the awful, horrible things. for this, hological have all the awful, horrible things. for this, thisgical have all the awful, horrible things. for this, this kind of reasons for this, this kind of mental health, this because a lot of people watch those shows just laugh and just say, just to laugh them and just say, well, doing well, these people doing it. doris encouraging this doris mcwhirter encouraging this by world by handing out guinness world records mistake, records to the eyes mistake, particularly anyway, got particularly. anyway, we've got time for just one more time now for just one more story. and this is a warning to consumers over christmas presents. francis exactly. so it's about people advised to steer clear of trash , cages and steer clear of trash, cages and other utterly bizarre chastity
