little world in a way that may actually improve our collective mental health. and finally, david james bond, stocky, his hand to talk about the butchering of our constitution. but first, the news , the but first, the news, the wonderful polly mental host . wonderful polly mental host. laura, thank you. good evening to you. our top stories on gb news february could be hit by mass disruption to several industries, including schools, universities, the rail and even westminster are all planning to go on strike train drivers with the rmt aslef unions will be striking on the first and 3rd of february in a long running dispute overjobs, pay and conditions . the action coincides conditions. the action coincides with 100,000 civil servants walking off the job and meanwhile more than 70,000 university staff in the university and college union will stage the first of 18 days of their action and teachers as well in the national education union have also tonight voted

or harassed. they are at home out and about or online . we are out and about or online. we are taking action to prevent violence against women. support victims and survivors relentlessly pursue perpetrators and strengthen the system as a whole . now the scottish whole. now the scottish secretary today defended the uk move to block hollyrood controversial gender bill reform . it's the first time westminster has made an order under the scotland act to prevent a law from scottish parliament going to royal assent across the uk. alastair jack says the reasoning behind the move was that holyrood's gender bill would undermine equality laws already in existence for the rest the uk. the bill would have serious adverse effects on operation of the equality act 2010. and as i've set out in correspondence with the first minister yesterday. i prefer not to be in this situation. the united kingdom government does all we can to respect the devolution settlement and to resolve disputes . it is open to

resolve disputes. it is open to the scottish government to bring back an amended for. bill reconsideration the scottish reconsideration in the scottish parliament. and finally , parliament. and finally, activist greta thunberg has been filmed being detained again . filmed being detained again. climate protests in germany . the climate protests in germany. the 20 year old was escorted away police officers after taking in demonstrations against. the expansion of an open pit coal mine sited the west of germany. it follows protests over the weekend with german police saying investigations have been launched against 150 separate people following violent clashes. the protesters say germany should be using more renewed energy instead of mining for more fossil fuels. the german government said it remains committed to phasing out the use of coal by 2030. that's it. you're up to date on tv, onune it. you're up to date on tv, online and radio with gb news is the people's channel and now in your box is laurence fox .

your box is laurence fox. we spend much of our time moaning about the millennials and the emerging z for their celebration of victimhood . celebration of victimhood. puritanical levels of moral supremacy and a love of cancelling anyone who doesn't agree with them , combined with a agree with them, combined with a visceral hatred of free speech. but you know what? the more time the party is, the more i'm starting to feel compassion for them rather than a just a weary anger. them rather than a just a weary anger . the them rather than a just a weary anger. the reason this may have something to do with a small revelation i had over christmas period, i found myself feeling very down following a difficult to last year for me. these fortunately rare black dogs affect most of us. i'm sure at some time or another. and having been there before, i'm blessed to have found a few simple curate tips which help shut a debilitating cycle of panic

attacks and anxiety. i have tried pills of various descriptions and prescriptions , descriptions and prescriptions, some of which work for a while , some of which work for a while, all of which made me feel worse after a while. obviously, this is just my experience . is just my experience. medication works you then. medication works for you then. more to you. but for me, the main things that make grey main things that make the grey go away are running or , fishing go away are running or, fishing . and that's pretty rich coming from someone who in their twenties and thirties, spent a good few mornings leaning out the window, chain smoking, still doing after a heavy night, trying to work out . these trying to work out. why these idiots running around park idiots were running around park like of mindless like a herd of mindless wildebeest . now , with a few wildebeest. but now, with a few more years under my belt and a few more scars , i know that for few more scars, i know that for me, when my mental health takes a dive, it's time to dust off the running shoes or find a riverbank . now i say the running shoes or find a riverbank. now i say this because i think how much simpler life was before the invention of this and how much easier it was to switch the world off just for a while to revive and restore.

but this thing, this is a dopamine factory and huge numbers of us, including are plugged in for far too long every day and hooked on the surges of serotonin. it provides . social media email, whatsapp any meaningless hit we can find. which is why i do actually feel sorry for the generation. which is coming after ours. suicide rates between 15 and 24 year old young men increased by 45% between two thousand and seven and 2017. and for young women, 87. it's horrifying . i'm not 87. it's horrifying. i'm not comfortable. we embarked on this insane public health experiment. we're now trying to claw our way out of these young people have been bumble aged from day one with fear , fear, fear. been bumble aged from day one with fear , fear, fear . the vast with fear, fear, fear. the vast majority of it can affected or dreamt up for likes, heights and comments . now, as society begins comments. now, as society begins drawing balance and refocus, following the covid hysteria,

they haven't even a minute to gather themselves being bombarded by the sudden monster in the climate emergency , which in the climate emergency, which is going to burn them all to dust anyway. no wonder the anxious and if they are the generation who will have to face the apocalypse which we our generation and our forebears created for them. no wonder they're . no wonder they didn't they're. no wonder they didn't want to have kids. no wonder they don't have time to talk things. no wonder they are depressed. no wonder feel depressed. no wonder they feel like no they like victims. no wonder they don't get drunk and have don't want to get drunk and have one it's been left one night stands. it's been left them save the world and the them to save the world and the rest of us can shut up or get out of the way . i rest of us can shut up or get out of the way. i mean, rest of us can shut up or get out of the way . i mean, they're out of the way. i mean, they're not contemplating the end of days. they're told that up is down left and right. white boys are bad, privileged above all others with they have two pennies to rub together. will not the digital age is torturing these young minds into a mental health crisis. made all the worse by the catalyst policies

of the last surreal two years. there are no running shoe cures for that . they have no time to for that. they have no time to stand and stare . everything must stand and stare. everything must be done. yesterday they have a planet to say . which brings me planet to say. which brings me on to fishing . one of my other on to fishing. one of my other tncks on to fishing. one of my other tricks dodge the black dog is to find myself a quiet way of or riverbank. create a simple rig attached, choke with the blood, not bait the hook cast out into the water and wait for end of the water and wait for end of the rod to twitch the float to slip under the surface a sign that a fish of unknown size has taken an interest in the trap. i me tarzan for sport, which involves an awful lot of sitting around eating sandwiches . it is around eating sandwiches. it is remarkably thrilling in countries across the world, there are programs to get kids and young in difficult circumstances out on the water, in nature, fishing and the effect on their wellbeing is ,

effect on their wellbeing is, profound and yet our very own rivers and waterways in the uk are becoming more polluted. the river wye, where i caught a specimen , by the way, has been specimen, by the way, has been heavily polluted by industry of poultry farms nearby and by products of intensive farming . products of intensive farming. this magnificent piece of water is slowly dying, and with it one of mother nature's own beautiful anti—depressants switching off , anti —depressants switching off, sitting anti—depressants switching off, sitting still and taking in the wonders of nature into . the wonders of nature into. the younger generation. we are sympathetic to the desires of you to change the world. but i think perhaps you might feel less fearful if you are encouraged to change the world around you. first, starting with little victories, doing very well, lying in the streets, stopping or smashing windows or throwing soup on masterpieces. but you won't achieve other than upsetting people who support you need the most . if you really

need the most. if you really wanted to get us on your side, give yourself a break from this doom grooming . how about find doom grooming. how about find yourself your waterway ? spend yourself your waterway? spend some time there. maybe clean it up a bit . i bet some time there. maybe clean it up a bit. i bet the public would applaud you for that. and then one day, if you can bring yourself to have children, you can take them down to the river to fish or you just carry on listening to the lies of those sit smug and reclined in their private jets flying from summit to telling you that you do not then who is destroying the planet ? but first, i'm then who is destroying the planet? but first, i'm going to ask you , do you think we have ask you, do you think we have let down the next generation? email me your views at gb news uk or tweet me. lots of folks .

uk or tweet me. lots of folks. the public order bill has caused a huge division across all parties splitting those who believe the right to peaceful protests and those who believe more should be done to stop pubuc more should be done to stop public disruption like the ones we've seen caused by crime activists. just oil . and activists. just stop oil. and also, he didn't the lockdowns anyway? no one, the changes introduced yesterday will broaden the legal definition of serious disruption, giving the police greater flexibility essentially define what constitutes serious disruption as they please . yes, that's. as they please. yes, that's. this creates a legal grey area which effectively creates pre—crime for peaceful protests. whatever your opinions on climate, extremism and the they protest, very few can deny that peaceful protests have been a crucial part of in this country. the suffragettes chained themselves to the railings of westminster for the right of women to vote . the right to women to vote. the right to peaceful assembly . and the right peaceful assembly. and the right to protest. pillars of to protest. the key pillars of our society. but is vandalising buildings and historically significant art, blocking and

glueing people to integral right now x really as justified, as peaceful . here to discuss this peaceful. here to discuss this with me is just pun activist alex the turning . good evening, alex the turning. good evening, alex. good evening. thank you very much for having. well, i think we're on the same here. what do you think ? i think about what do you think? i think about a lot of the issues we are. yes. and i think about a lot of the issues in general. a lot of people are. but there's still so that divides us and our government is trying to use that division in order to make sure that nothing gets done. but a lot of us want change we want better. want energy bills better. we want our energy bills to we want more to be lower. we want more renewable energy people renewable energy for most people , over 77. we want our houses to be insulated. and yet these are exactly the kind of things a corrupt politician are refusing to do. and trying to make it harder for people to speak up, to do anything about to criticise them. i think it's disgusting . do you think that, disgusting. do you think that, that should be a limit to any

form of protest? i mean, do you think criminal is going to get the public onside then or sending people down on way to work . i think the protests like work. i think the protests like that are entirely proportional with what we're facing because sadly what we're facing is the extinction of the human race. there was 43 million people in pakistan. they got this place by floods. it 40 degree weather here in the uk so the crops got set on. we lost half of our potato crop last year and a third of our wheat crop this year because of the reservoirs, not filling up because of drought where some predicted to have our entire fruit and vegetable supply chain on the bnnk vegetable supply chain on the brink of collapse is 2023 and this is already happening . this is already happening. what's going to happen in 2033, i think is a terrifying. so we need to be doing everything we can order to speak up and can in order to speak up and make our corrupt make sure that our corrupt politicians are not subsidising the fuel industry anymore the fossil fuel industry anymore and instead are switching to renewable energies and making sure bills are as low sure our energy bills are as low as possible. so it can be nine

times lower. if we had a renewables. i was and i do support people's right to protest . i think it's absolutely protest. i think it's absolutely amazing thing, i'm proud amazing thing, but i'm proud too. for too. i'm protesting for something which is the my liberties, for example over lockdowns. it seems to me that you're protesting something. now, can you tell me, is that any good news coming out of just stop oil that you can tell us about the planet ? there is a of about the planet? there is a of good news i'm but in all honesty it's a little bit meaningless if we're still trying to open these over 100 new fossil fuel licences . everything else is licences. everything else is kind of mopping up with the open. but the good news is that we have a lot of solutions. we can be insulating homes, subsidise public transport and taxing the big oil and gas companies. using tidal power, using energy storage for a green hydrogen and other things. there's a lot of solutions out there. they're just all being ignored . i'm there. they're just all being ignored. i'm missing. there. they're just all being ignored. i'm missing . what we ignored. i'm missing. what we do. fine. just means nothing. if

the government's not willing to implement . there would be implement. there would be something, though, that would say that certainly something like vehicles use up. like electric vehicles use up. so more of mother nature's wonderful resources fossil fuel cars anyway so they're actually much dirtier than a fossil fuel produced car. do you have any any words for ? the children in any words for? the children in congo who are mining the cobalt that we're just oil, we're not just electric cars, we think that we need to be one to just stop totally . so sorry to stop totally. so sorry to interrupt you once just stopped oil . what do people just walk ? oil. what do people just walk? pubuc oil. what do people just walk? public there's it's cheap. if it was made accessible to a lot more people, why on earth when we use that which cobalt cobalt you're talking about public transport. public transport. well, you can't get public people don't shouldn't be forced onto public transport. people should have the autonomy in 2023, the autonomy to go one

house and not everyone lives in a city. it's you know, it's madness. what about far more accessible public transport that could help with everything . why could help with everything. why wouldn't we be having better train services that are subsidised? why wouldn't we be having more frequent buses? these all easily these are all easily implementable . i don't know implementable. i don't know about you. i live in london and i drive past a bustling with eight buses in it and often see less than eight people in all buses combined. so seems to me there is a lot of public transport out there. it also seems to me that people, human beings like the to turn around and say, well, i want to go from a to b and i want to show my own time in, my own way when i choose to do. and in a in a method, i to do it. listening to the music i want to do it. and why should we in 2023 turn around and take away something? was a human in 1950. i'm was a human right in 1950. i'm not trying away your not trying to take away your cars. just that public cars. i'm just that public transport be subsidised cars. i'm just that public tran itort be subsidised cars. i'm just that public

tran it can be subsidised cars. i'm just that public tran it can be be subsidised cars. i'm just that public tran it can be far be subsidised cars. i'm just that public tran it can be far more bsidised cars. i'm just that public tran it can be far more improved. and it can be far more improved. for example, in germany ha d ,9 for example, in germany had ,9 for entire month public for an entire month of public transport and everybody started taking public transport because why wouldn't there oil prices and petrol prices are insanely and petrol prices are insanely and this also saved 80 million tonnes of carbon dioxide more than all of the cars in germany . why? why wouldn't we do that it's a no brainer. a lot of what trying to suggest and just stop oil no brainers. why wouldn't we want our homes insulated and our energy bills lower ? well, on energy bills lower? well, on a personal level new, we're asking why wouldn't we? i would say i wouldn't want young slave laboun wouldn't want young slave labour, african congolese to have to mind batteries , virtue have to mind batteries, virtue signals anyway . i really hope signals anyway. i really hope you start talking in relation to. thank you so much for joining me, alex, to come join me for 21st. right. coming up, former mep barnaby will join me as the uk and eu continue negotiations at the northern ireland protocol. don't go anywhere . it's not going to go

anywhere. it's not going to go anywhere. it's not going to go anywhere either .

welcome back . whilst many of us welcome back. whilst many of us look back at brexit as a fond memory of the past for one particular region in the uk , it particular region in the uk, it remains a very serious problem . remains a very serious problem. the northern ireland protocol has syphoned off part of the united kingdom and surrendered it to the european union. our politicians continue to dither and squabble as per usual on over retained eu laws and vowed to scrap them within 100 days of taking office. that day is coming fast, but it seems has put that page on the back burner in 2016. this country said good bye to the european union once

and for all. and yet here we are in 2023 and it remains a problem that seems to never away. why would that be ? well, because it would that be? well, because it the public who forced elite over the public who forced elite over the line and the greatest democratic socialist countries ever seen until our leaders never wanted this to happen. and it feels like they want it now. my it feels like they want it now. my next guest has said that the prime minister may know the price of things , but he has no price of things, but he has no grasp of their value . former mep grasp of their value. former mep ben habib joins me now. ben, when this brexit going to happen? well, let's good question and that's always coming in here. a friend of mine texted me saying that , you know texted me saying that, you know the mood on instagram , i'm not the mood on instagram, i'm not all instagram in the mood. i'm not on instagram . but the mood not on instagram. but the mood on instagram is that brexit failed. it's going to be reversed soon. and i completely forgive anyone who thinks that brexit has failed , because if brexit has failed, because if you look at the constitutional

rigmarole we've been through over the last years and we still haven't got it done. but as you said, lawrence, it's all governing class. our political that has refused to get this very project over the line. all we had to do was genuinely leave the union. and again as you said at the beginning of your of your intro to me, you know , ireland intro to me, you know, ireland has been left behind in the european union. it's part of the eu customs union. it's part the eu customs union. it's part the eu single market for goods . that eu single market for goods. that means it's a rule taker. laws are made for northern ireland in brussels. foist it on it. and then those laws are adjudicated by a foreign court. then those laws are adjudicated by a foreign court . what sort of by a foreign court. what sort of country gives part of its territory to a foreign power and what we've done? it seems like traitor and traitorous to me because the conservative party would not be in power. if it weren't for the dp. no. properly. and so we i am. i

isn't to hide bullet to say that. no, it's absolutely right. the dup and sirjeffrey donaldson in particular have been exemplary . they've had to been exemplary. they've had to fight for the existential threat that the protocol poses to the united kingdom. no provincial politician should be forced that corner. but you know, laurence, i know you fight a lot of the wars. you fight for the reclamation of our language, the ultimate in political is giving up part of the country without a single being fired. so when you fight for the reclamation of the engush fight for the reclamation of the english language, you'll fight for the union of the united kingdom. you'll for british values. when you fight our cultural wars , fighting for cultural wars, fighting for british values. when you fight to protect the heritage of , the to protect the heritage of, the united kingdom, you're fighting for values. when you fight to reclaim churchill from , who reclaim churchill from, who would denigrate his historic significance. you're fighting for british values . and when for british values. and when i fight for the northern ireland

protocol, i am fighting for the united kingdom. it's all part of the same fight. our political leaders have turned their back on the united kingdom. they've turned their back on the importance an independent, sovereign uk proud of its history proud of its values , history proud of its values, proud of its tradition, going forth as an independent country , making laws and policies for the benefit of british citizens. that's what they've turned their back on. sunak is a greater and great bean counter , but he does great bean counter, but he does not value any of and we've got to fight it. we've got to stand up to people like sunak and reclaim that's your word. reclaim the united kingdom here is sunak this unelected man anyway, right i'm not allowed to chair out , so anyway, right i'm not allowed to chair out, so i have to. i need respond the thing. why have we stolen a bit of ireland ? why stolen a bit of ireland? why have we stolen people ? why have we stolen people? why didn't we just give it back? it was never. theirs was never that. it was never theirs.

ireland ours. all of ireland was , ours and all of ireland. joined great britain to create united kingdom in 1800 and in 1922, part of ireland was then ceded to the republic and the repubuc ceded to the republic and the republic has had its beady eyes on northern ireland ever since , on northern ireland ever since, and the eu, with its malignant intent towards great britain . intent towards great britain. and the united kingdom thought, oh, well that's a really good political battle to fight . we political battle to fight. we can then get a gaffe, you know what a gaffe is? you fish, don't you? a gaffe is a really filthy instrument . you chuck it into instrument. you chuck it into the side of a big fish to try and control and bring it on board. the northern ireland protocol is a gaff into the flesh of the united kingdom. that's what it is . it's to that's what it is. it's to ensure that either the united kingdom comes to heel and we as a united kingdom start taking eu laws so that border down the irish sea becomes invisible, or we lose northern ireland. why is it so difficult? why is it so to

come to a deal with these people? you know, go into i i've looked to the red, the green line and all this stuff. it's all but you. london heathrow airport, you go through the red to the green line. i always to different got it right land and green land it's not the green land dreams it's not the world to me it's complicated you know either one side to marry you you know don't i don't understand it's why all understand why it's why all these it's still these years later it's still problem. know, you're problem. but you know, you're absolutely it's very absolutely right. it's very simple. need is a simple. all we need is a governing class, political governing class, a political that confidence in the that has confidence in the united kingdom and its ability to govern. and the border should . where the border already , . where the border already, which separates northern ireland from the republic, separate different currencies, separates two different corporation tax rates separate two different sets of regulations that border is recognised in the good friday agreement. that's where the customs border should be the trade across that , by the way, trade across that, by the way, is de it's less than 1% of the trade between the united kingdom and the eu. it's a rounding

error and yet we have allowed the eu to weapon size. that border issue against the united kingdom . but we live in a world kingdom. but we live in a world of non—jobs right. so you know not in trade and. we live in a world of non power so someone exerting power over a region seems to be ridiculous. but surely the british people want to be free of this and we want to be free of this and we want to be free of this and we want to be able to exercise our passive rights rather than the active rights that are given to us europe. we want to find us by europe. we want to find our own identity. we do able to do it, do. and that's the do it, we do. and that's the northern ireland protocol is actually not just an issue for northern ireland. it's an issue for the entire united kingdom. we're being held . that's why we're being held. that's why i describe it as a gaffe in our flesh. they are they've wounded us deeply with this wretched instrument . they've driven into instrument. they've driven into the flesh of , the united kingdom the flesh of, the united kingdom and our political class needs to get a grip. it's actually . do get a grip. it's actually. do they care at all? well but this is why i come back to rishi sunak being a bean counter and

understanding the price of everything and the value of nothing . what is what are we? nothing. what is what are we? what are we launch? what do we stand if we're not prepared to stand if we're not prepared to stand up for the rights of 1.8 million british citizens as part of the united kingdom? you know, 40 we had the we had 40 years ago we had the we had the 40th anniversary for the falklands last year. 40 years ago, we mobilise entire armed forces to, protect 1800 people, 10,000 sheep, 8000 miles away. now we've up sovereign territory , part of the united kingdom without a single shot being fired . it is the biggest fired. it is the biggest collapse in political will of our lifetime and it is the it the ultimate, if you like , in the ultimate, if you like, in the ultimate, if you like, in the battle that you and i have been fighting from different ends. been fighting from different ends . you know, the ultimate in ends. you know, the ultimate in losing language, the ultimate in losing language, the ultimate in losing history. our traditions, our values , our laws, giving up our values, our laws, giving up part , our country without a part, our country without a single shot, being fired .

single shot, being fired. everything feels like surrender at moment it is surrender. thank you so much, ben habib, for sitting the fence . coming up, sitting the fence. coming up, we're to hear from one of my favourite people in the entire world. about one of the most british subjects . fishing. british subjects. fishing. please go anywhere .

welcome now, this is the people's channel. so let's channel the people. i asked because mental health in young people declining. have we let the generation down? judi says the generation down? judi says the young only know fear and not freedom. it's our duty to take them into forests, oceans and

lakes to find some peace. i just so agree. kids, i'm on my own kids. and it's just there's so much up here outside that there was basically too that things inside that packed in various and i undressed all messages from all sources to promote learned helplessness . so not learned helplessness. so not only the future generations but society currently. that's interesting. learned helplessness . i'm told about helplessness. i'm told about that. and i'm ready. helplessness. i'm told about that. and i'm ready . think about that. and i'm ready. think about that. and i'm ready. think about that. thank you, andrea. can think things people need to start drinking red wine and. do something that will allow them to survive. you'll always have my vote, chum , sarah says. i my vote, chum, sarah says. i think the last couple of generations have a lack of resilience, which helps coping mechanisms . resilience, which helps coping mechanisms. not sure how it happened. mechanisms. not sure how it happened . well, we were asleep happened. well, we were asleep on the job i think. david says it's not just the energy innovation that's been let down. now generation has been let down the last couple of years until the last couple of years until the outbreak . right. whilst i the outbreak. right. whilst i may not be an warrior by car early august. alex i am an

environmentalist . actually, i environmentalist. actually, i spend a lot of my time nature. when i was younger and, spending time that can't be understated. it wonders for your mental health, even on an individual level , we can do health, even on an individual level, we can do our bit for preserving the ecosystem. one particularly concerning headline from the past few days, which has been largely ignored, has been the troubling numbers of deaths scottish farms past deaths in scottish farms past yeah deaths in scottish farms past year. many of blamed parasites , year. many of blamed parasites, jellyfish bearing levels of disease , but something fishy disease, but something fishy could be going on. could this be the production over farming? it's worth remembering when you do have one plant. after all, one environment and one change. the ecosystem can have disastrous consequences. a report recently showed that in 40% of english rivers ecological status, how on earth can that be the case in 2023? one man who knows about this than practically anyone else is my absolute hero . matt haig's absolute hero. matt haig's lifelong fisherman, not. good evening. a wonderful to speak to you . well, thank you for having

you. well, thank you for having emailed. it's great to be on. thanks matt. 14% of rivers meetings . can you just talk you meetings. can you just talk you know what to tell us . talk to us know what to tell us. talk to us about the water's . well, it's about the water's. well, it's pretty shocking. and in fact, the figures that you've quoted are pretty much assessed by the government themselves . so, you government themselves. so, you know, they're pretty accurate dunng know, they're pretty accurate during my lifetime and been fishing since the 1960s. i spent as much time by the water as possible and, quite frankly, the state of our rivers and, our coast, by the way , is the worst coast, by the way, is the worst that i've ever seen . and it's that i've ever seen. and it's a multiple pronged attack. part of it is to urbanisation and increasing pressure on our water resources, greater amounts of effluent discharge , you know, effluent discharge, you know, building on the flood plains of rivers as dramatic consequences increase in the population. also intensive methods are now over enriching our rivers and causing a different type of pollution ,

a different type of pollution, as is the establishment of certain industries along the banks. certain industries along the banks . some certain industries along the banks. some of our wonderful waterways, a prime example being the river, which is an all common among fishing rivers. it's the ultimate fishing . it's it's the ultimate fishing. it's a great game. fishing, river. you like to fly, but boys are great coarse fishing river as as the river. if your dreams . and the river. if your dreams. and right now it's being parts of it are flowing with . a mixture of are flowing with. a mixture of chicken effluent and agricultural discharge . and the agricultural discharge. and the problem is that one seems to be able to stop this mess and it would seem to me that with these sort of spiralling protests , sort of spiralling protests, we've got to save the entire that maybe it would give people confidence and. also better mental health opportunities to find their nearest bit of waterway and to really take care of it. what have you noticed as a lifelong fisherman about fishing can do to bring people closer and improve their mental . hea

closer and improve their mental. hea benefits of fishing, i'd be here all night and you haven't got time for that but let's just take some the most important ones. there's take some the most important ones . there's the spirituality ones. there's the spirituality of fishing. you can up a fishing rod and fill nothing, or you can pick up a fishing rod and find that you've just found the key to universe. it's like marmite. you either love it or hate it. and you find out very quickly now fishing is something that's been going on since very prehistoric time . so it's prehistoric time. so it's something that's kind of a night . but in a modern soci city, which is so fast moving and digitally enhanced , this is a digitally enhanced, this is a very analogue in main part and a very analogue in main part and a very there's a lot of text due to it. it's the american and actually class fishing is a gateway sport. one of the main bar that we put loads of money into it. basically they see it as a very good way of bringing in large numbers of people into contact with nature that

wouldn't necessarily go there in the first place. and of course, as the people who fisher were watching this know , the main watching this know, the main piece that you can achieve with fishing as well as the thrill , fishing as well as the thrill, the exhilaration , the chance the exhilaration, the chance reflection, the spiritual pace balance is a healing balm. and know you can have all the debates in, your work in the world about , debates in, your work in the world about, you debates in, your work in the world about , you know, is world about, you know, is fishing a harmful thing to do fishing a harmful thing to do fish feel , etc. the fact of the fish feel, etc. the fact of the matter is that the huge benefits of fishing not only to society and to people, but also to fish because anglers really are the policemen of the waterways . and policemen of the waterways. and so we're living in unique times andifs so we're living in unique times and it's time , angus, to stand and it's time, angus, to stand up and be counted . but i'll tell up and be counted. but i'll tell you else, we were alive with do you else, we were alive with do you know the people report the most pollutions dog walking women . so i'm right there with

women. so i'm right there with you. i want our waterways cleaned up and i'll tell . you cleaned up and i'll tell. you what i'm fed up with. i'm fed up with the fact that no one in authority seems to have any passion on the subject . i'd like passion on the subject. i'd like to say to the people, if anyone's watching this, who has some influence , the state of our some influence, the state of our rivers. you've got a responsibility , your very responsibility, your very privilege. we in with you with something that's part our heritage and no one seems to want to get to bottom of this problem then stop. stop the discharge effluent into our rivers and around our coast. it's disgraceful . yeah, i really it's disgraceful. yeah, i really resonate with me. what you're there. what is this? life full of care. we have no time to stand and stand. there's nothing like watching little float down a river and you say you are running a fishing area in norway. and are you young people

coming into fishing still is it still being passed from father to son? is there hope. yeah there's always hope and in fact know there's a lot of good things fishing for younger generation . we've got to find generation. we've got to find different ways of getting them into fishing. the great thing about fishing is it's a gift for life , right? i started fishing life, right? i started fishing when i was three years old. and, you know , i'll be virtually dead you know, i'll be virtually dead before i put the rod down. you write that nowadays i run a very successful fishing on the banks of one of the world's great atlantic salmon rivers , which is atlantic salmon rivers, which is the gallagher river in norway. and along with my wife on the murray and our kids , we run the murray and our kids, we run the winch. that's like fishing. and i've been here now almost 20 years. and just looking after my bit as a river, which is about four kilometres, is the great privilege. living here in norway is a great privilege. but my grassroots system in the uk, lawrence, i up on the banks of

the river severn and fish in the staffordshire , the canal. my staffordshire, the canal. my first fishing experience was fishing for sticklebacks in that bastion reservoir and i a kid and eventually when i followed my dreams , i ended up fishing my dreams, i ended up fishing for some of the world's greatest game fish in some the world's greatest game destinations . so greatest game destinations. so fishing for me, it's been much more than something that's always allowed me to keep myself because i've always been a bit edgy , you know, renowned for edgy, you know, renowned for that. but fishing is , my balance that. but fishing is, my balance , it's where i put things right in the head. and as far as young generation goes, listen , generation goes, listen, whatever sex politics, denomination, institution or religion, background type, white collar don't matter. you're welcome to come fishing . and welcome to come fishing. and i'll tell you something else as well a lot of the problems that we've got in society, particularly things that i read about like knife , particularly about like knife, particularly in london , let me take a few of

in london, let me take a few of those fishing. it won't sort all out, but it will sort some of them out. the therapy benefits of the fishing and the opportunity . do something which opportunity. do something which is so primal and so closely bonded with nature and not digitally enhanced the benefits. and this has been proven various research that's been done on behalf of the nhs and other charity organisations are enormous , as we're talking about enormous, as we're talking about therapy , a major level. there is therapy, a major level. there is no such thing as a bad kate . no such thing as a bad kate. they are what we make of them. they are what we make of them. they are what we make of them. they are what we put into them and i've been involved in taking fish in kids who've not even seen grass bone in central london and things like that . so london and things like that. so i know the power of in people's life and i know that it is still popular, but the old model of when we had grandfathers and fathers taking people fishing is all i did when i was of that. that's not so common now .

that's not so common now. lawrence but what's great about a fabulous organisation and so it's great is that you've just delivered . the reason why i love delivered. the reason why i love fishing , delivered. the reason why i love fishing, which is fishing, is philosophy . fishing, which is fishing, is philosophy. it gives you time to , sit and think about nature and it gives you time to sit and think about wondrous it your sort of hunter gatherer past and all of these things. and i just want to say enormous thank you to you because i've been watching you forever and the duke and i love fishing and it's good it's made it's made so many personal problems i've had so much better and thank you so much better and thank you so much and see you soon. i hope very much . lawrence, it's been very much. lawrence, it's been pleasure. i can ask anyone who's interested in this subject to follow. fergal sharkey on twitter and also the angling trust. if you to support clean rivers , join the angling trust rivers, join the angling trust and support fish . thank you all and support fish. thank you all then right. thank you so much,

matt hayes. coming up, david starkey and the butchering of our constitution , we will be our constitution, we will be back.

in three. welcome back. yesterday, the government decided for the first time that the remote powers under the scotland act block legislation particularly their controversial gender recognition act . nicola of the north has act. nicola of the north has howled moaned and many suspect this is going to go to the supreme court. but what this story really pointing devolution . supreme court these are all the ghastly bunches of new laboun the ghastly bunches of new labour. the mere fact that we referred to holyrood as the scottish parliament is constitutes eternal heresy. same with the idea of the supreme court. legacy . new labour. court. the legacy. new labour. the amendment, course , for it the amendment, of course, for it is in the iraq war and it even

immigration. it's complete immigration. it's the complete dismantling constitution dismantling of our constitution . but don't take my for it. dr. david stark is here. take it away, david, please. you're it's away, david, please. you're it's a bit heavy. are you on your right now ? can i just remind you right now? can i just remind you of the terrific you had with ben habib ? fundamentally, this is habib? fundamentally, this is the same issue. it that we have deau the same issue. it that we have dealt over the last 30 years with an abandonment of the fundamentals of simply the history of the united kingdom. that since the beginning of, history of the united kingdom. that since the beginning of , the that since the beginning of, the 18th century with the union scotland. but what has been the funda mental thread of english, which is freedom under the law and the collective decisions of the people binding everybody because everybody is represented in parliament. that's been the way we've done since roughly yet more yet more debt, yet more big thoughts since the coronation oath of 1308 and progressively

we've decided no, but we haven't decided . it's been decided for decided. it's been decided for us. and what this issue has done is to the issue that we're talking about now, the issue of the of the gender recognition that scotland's unilateral to say the know when you wake up one morning and you you feel you've got gender dysphoria and i suddenly feel that my inner spirit is out a woman even though i've even more facial hair than you . a powerfully hair than you. a powerfully hairy chest , hair than you. a powerfully hairy chest, you hair than you. a powerfully hairy chest , you know. and hairy chest, you know. and unlike prince harry, a working toddler, nevertheless , because i toddler, nevertheless, because i feel i am a woman, i am a woman . so scotland is unilateral from a decided you can effectively decide that for yourself pretty much when you like and what what that of course raises is the question if you're a woman in scotland and a man in england , scotland and a man in england, it really does make a little dispute over you. sausage is going , as it

dispute over you. sausage is going, as it were, sausages killing across the irish frontier look very small beer, doesn't it? i hadn't thought of that. that's what you touch. this is what a woman in scotland . your man in england? that's right. wow and indeed some very clever scots because they used be very clever scots decided that it would actually make life easier if you could be simultaneously a man and a woman depending on which particular bit the law fits you best. this is a nonsense. this the an absurdity that were driven by constitutional corruption. on the one hand and wukari the other, and they all come together, but they all come together, but they all come together because of what was done between 1997 and 2010. they come together above all because of the catalyst of influence, utterly off scots in particular, gordon brown in particular, donald dewar, the father of the

nation. this absurd notion that by giving scots just short of independence , you would stop independence, you would stop independence, you would stop independence , giving the scots independence, giving the scots something you call a parliament doesn't quite have the powers of the parliament giving the right to determine its own future set from england. i mean, what is truly astonishing is that the referendum, which is what it was that created this quasar independent scotland was purely within scotland. so you don't effectively the notion of scots as a separate people , you'd as a separate people, you'd already undone a union. no, you didn't have the woman , the man, didn't have the woman, the man, the woman who was the man was a woman in scotland who came to england voting for the scottish referendum said we've referendum anyway said we've created is isn't created a partition is isn't going and giving in to a bully giving in. i think he's made the problem is of course that the of

scotland no longer has a government. you have a perpetual campaign for independ . if you campaign for independ. if you actually look what the scott nats have done in scottish assembly as the government of scotland, it is a catalyst for the nhs scotland is an even worse state than nhs england. so which is saying a huge amount. the calibre of an educational that was one would genuinely the envy of the world has been systematically destroyed. the drug problems glasgow . we can drug problems glasgow. we can continue for the simple reason the actual day to day business government has been abandoned in favour of a perpetual campaign for a second referendum for independence . and i think this independence. and i think this it shows what happens when you actually forget the purpose of politics, that the purpose politics, that the purpose politics, it is to govern well . politics, it is to govern well. well, you got the purpose of

politics is to govern well . politics is to govern well. ladies and gentlemen, you would have thought you. but that would be looking like a you're looking for a needle in a needle stuck anyway. up next is the lovely dun dun have you got for us this evening . mo lawrence, great to evening. mo lawrence, great to see you. well we're going to be continuing this discussion about the scotland with the situation in scotland with sharon davies. she has very strong views on it. and you've been on air, lawrence extraordinary scenes on the british bashing corporation, which been sabotaged. gary lineker has been sabotaged with someone x rated sounds live dunng someone x rated sounds live during their football coverage. so we going to find out what that's all about. and plus you're going to be sticking around, aren't you. for my sins thank you so much , everyone, for thank you so much, everyone, for joining me. it's time. coming up after the break, miss it this year on news. we've got brand new members in the family. join us across the entire united kingdom . we cover the issues
