2:05 am
given worthy attention. billions upon billions. instincts given worthy attention. billions upon billions . instincts often upon billions. instincts often similar character, can dictate the direction and success of a civilisation and in hardship, but also, when ignored or misdirected lead to its collapse . for some time knocking deep down at the bottom of ever growing number of people's guts sits these instinct bubbling away, refusing to be quiet, unable to articulate themselves for the reasons above. the language has been lost in time , language has been lost in time, but it is persistent and it won't go away. many people's guts are coming together to say beware and be careful. it is frustrating to analyse this . frustrating to analyse this. each of us are unique and these interesting things are in many ways a reflection of that. for some of us, it is this dumping down of free expression and the subsequent malaise decline subsequent malaise and decline for others, a sense that their nafion for others, a sense that their nation has lost its identity and therefore its optimism. and for others, the simplest of things in define and suddenly in life to define and suddenly become for
2:06 am
become the most complicated. for example . what is a woman . i the example. what is a woman. i the heady days of my childhood as electronics became accessible to the masses. the gameboys , the the masses. the gameboys, the first ever nintendo walkmans gizmos and gadgets which transfixed online in awe of this electro sonic genius. pretty much everything . one came from a much everything. one came from a faraway place on the other side of the world called japan. sony. hitachi mitsubishi, toshiba. all we had to do was wait another few months. and the latest in technological explosion would be available to beg, plead and die for on your birthday . japan with for on your birthday. japan with a trains and brilliant brains was the future that japan , alas, was the future that japan, alas, is no more. and it could argued that one of the main reasons is a collective japanese instinct of isolationism and traditionalism. the are not fond of immigration or even cross—pollination. they have a special pejorative for those of mixed ethnicity despite their
2:07 am
finest tennis player name a sucker being just such a person a hafu or half breed . as a hafu or half breed. as a result of this, the japanese are altogether a more daunting prospect. the end of their civilisation as they know it. the is demographics . a the is demographics. a remarkably healthy population with the longest life expectancy on earth made the fundamental error not to replace itself . error not to replace itself. birth rates are low. life expectancy is high. pay off for your mortgage. japan nowadays and your house is going to be worth than it was when you bought it. supply and demand . bought it. supply and demand. homeownership once the beacon of future prosperity has begun to , future prosperity has begun to, wither on the vine. as edmund said, society is a partnership between the dead, the living and those yet to be born . a lesson those yet to be born. a lesson japan is learning the hard way. but this general reluctance to breed is symptomatic of all hyper civilised, advanced cultures across the. birth rates are plummeting. japan and other nafions are plummeting. japan and other nations are aware of the simple
2:08 am
fact that children will are our future and have tried the initiative after initiative to convince the population to get jiggv convince the population to get jiggy with it. but as all of us know, it's hard to force someone fall in love and make it family, especially if it goes against our precious instincts in the arrogant and affluent west. children are deeply unfashionable and any young woman who even quietly voices an ambition to be a mother and raise a family is roundly ridiculed as being yet another hapless victim of this so—called patriarchy some nebulous idea that menus children and families to keep their down, control them, and stop them succeeding. the result being when many women manage to turn their gaze away from the identities, hypnotics snake like gaze, they find their body which has reminded them like clockwork . after month like clockwork. after month since , that it has a since puberty, that it has a function and a purpose no longer can fulfil the purpose for which it was . it is one of the quirks it was. it is one of the quirks and some might say deep unfairness in nature that men can continue blithely on
2:09 am
creating and creating their end while swimming labour under the cruelty of time . but men didn't cruelty of time. but men didn't make the rules to this game, which we all have to play. nature did so instead of treating the deeper causes of the illness of modernity. some nafions the illness of modernity. some nations have opted for the sticking plaster approach of open borders and importing next generation rather than making their own . but this only covers their own. but this only covers their own. but this only covers the wound . while the organs of the wound. while the organs of the wound. while the organs of the the national the nation and the national progress to later stage disease possibly even hurried on as strangers with different backgrounds and instincts are forced tightly together, whether they like it or not, unable sometimes to even share a language . other nations say we language. other nations say we must work longer now as we longer. the slack western nafions longer. the slack western nations cry out in anger, unaware it would seem that they can't have their cake and eat it. millions gather on the streets in protest at the prospect of more labour, squawking birds in a nest, waiting for their loving parent. the state to come and fill open

beaks and stomachs with worms . beaks and stomachs with worms. instinct reveals we may well be witnessing the beginning of end of society as we know it . of society as we know it. responsibility is being with gluttonous pleasure and the self—indulgence of identity. what is certain is that collective instinct of the next infantilized generation is . to infantilized generation is. to reproduce one look at what hyper modernity offers them through these dreaded screens has put them off, and i don't blame them. a perfect cultural stroll storm may be brewing to bring the end of the world as we know it. we've seen glimpses of what must follow , and we are all must follow, and we are all filled with a certain instinctive dread for our own children. but there is good news , and there is a way out of this. it is to make more humans to turn towards each other and commit to partnership between the dead , the living and those the dead, the living and those yet to be born . is this the end
2:11 am
yet to be born. is this the end of the world as we know it? only time will tell . but before time will tell. but before anything else, we wanted to ask you, as birthrates plummet across the world, is this end of the world as we know it? so email your views at gb news or tweet . gb news. here with us in tweet. gb news. here with us in the studio now is author and renowned authority on demography , paul moreland. paul, is it the of the world as we know it? no i think it's an all hands. of the world as we know it? no i think it's an all hands . as you think it's an all hands. as you say, we have instincts. we have technology. the instincts drive us in a particular direction. and always will do. the technology can choose to apply to limit our fatality or not. we certainly will. i don't think anyone's calling for couples in the western world have six or seven children and it's very good that . we're helping people good that. we're helping people control their fertility . in much control their fertility. in much of the developed world, much of the developing world, where is too high and it to come too high and it needs to come down. but in countries from
2:12 am
britain to japan to korea , where britain to japan to korea, where the rate is, even the fertility rate is, even lower than in japan , it's really lower than in japan, it's really up to people. it's up to and i'm not inclined to say , let's open not inclined to say, let's open our beaks , as you put it, and our beaks, as you put it, and wait for the government, fill them with subsidies and of course, there are things that governments can do. perhaps we'll discuss those governments can make a difference on the margin. but ultimately, it's down to all of us. this is a fundamental change within us. i think cultural . i fundamental change within us. i think cultural. i think think it's cultural. i think it's about belief. it's about confidence in the future. it's about wishing to see yourself off your people, your nation, your community. ultimately, humanity go on. and that is something which i think is pretty natural . having said pretty natural. having said that, there are some tendencies against that. there are some pretty mis tendencies out there which i think need to be combated. so when i say it's about culture, about belief, i think these are real things that we need to argue about and talk about and push back against. you're sounding dangerously
2:13 am
spiritual here. you know, this myth that misunderstood hippy and idea that need and then this idea that we need to and have more optimism . there to and have more optimism. there does to be dearth of does seem to be a dearth of optimism society at large at optimism in society at large at the know, especially the moment you know, especially with terrible news with all the terrible news people confronted with people have been confronted with time you time and time again. do you think there a spiritual space think there is a spiritual space for hope? the of myself for hope? the opposite of myself ? are ? well, i think there are philosophical reasons for having children. are reasons that children. there are reasons that religious may their religious people may offer their reasons might offer. reasons humanists might offer. but i think we can't rely on those because they are so debateable . i think what we have debateable. i think what we have to rely on is the practical that without the next generation of people, the robots , not coming people, the robots, not coming over the horizon to , our over the horizon to, our assistance that we are going still need labour. we're going to need people to fill the petrol stations . we're going to petrol stations. we're going to need people to be at the airport to deliver our suitcases we're going to need people in the old age homes looking after our parents. and then after us. we have a need for labour. and i think it's incredibly arrogant to say that we're too busy , too
2:14 am
to say that we're too busy, too inconvenienced , too important to inconvenienced, too important to produce that labour ourselves, and that either we just import it and skim off the and brightest from the wider or wait in the vain hope that ology is going to come and sort it out for us, or indeed expect all the to provide it. i mean, if you have the environmental objections to having more children , you will still consume children, you will still consume that labour. you're still going to be in the you're still going to be in the you're still going to be in the you're still going to be the petrol station. you're still going be in the still going to be in the airport. ultimately , one airport. and ultimately, one hopesin airport. and ultimately, one hopes in the old age home or requiring someone to after requiring someone to look after you. all you're saying if you you. so all you're saying if you won't have children for environment reasons will environment reasons is i will consume labour. i'm just not going produce it myself, going to produce it myself, which is. so if we've got a one side misanthropy on, other side misanthropy on, the other side misanthropy on, the other side me each in the side hope and me each in the middle, have hypocrisy , which middle, we have hypocrisy, which is generation is is what this generation is filled and so these people must filled. and so these people must realise when they say you're going to kill the planet if you don't , they must know that's don't, they must know that's actually statement. they're just going destroy nation. going to destroy own nation. is there active , positive desire
2:15 am
there an active, positive desire to destroy, to nations more broadly ? well, i don't want to broadly? well, i don't want to tar whole generation with hypocrisy . there are hypocrites hypocrisy. there are hypocrites in every generation . but their in every generation. but their name speaks . people are hit name speaks. people are hit massively . the boycott 2627. all massively. the boycott 2627. all of these environmental thing, all these people tapping on their little lithium battery to iphones are saying the same thing on social media. yes. and at a higher level at davos with their private jet in tunis on their private jet in tunis on the way to have a nice, expensive photoshoot, it's not really for you me i think to attribute hip hop or a psychological condition to things here. is it, too? i think it's for us. what should we be doing? we should be challenged them, questioning them, pointing out, inconsistencies than out, the inconsistencies than the hypocrisy. so i call you a racist for doing that? well, i don't think you can call someone a racist saying that in a racist for saying that in multiple multi—cultural britain today. communities to have today. all communities to have more children. my mother was born overseas. about a third of mum's giving birth. born overseas. about a third of mum's giving birth . the uk today mum's giving birth. the uk today are born overseas. if you call
2:16 am
for britain as a whole or german or france to indeed china or , or france to indeed china or, japan or korea for the people there to have more children , there to have more children, you're not necessarily calling for more babies? i do. i think the racial issue is a complete red herring . yeah, but i mean, red herring. yeah, but i mean, everyone is talking racist for saying any question that is goes well. i think you just ignore that and on with the facts. well you can't it but it does really repercussions on lives is there something about belonging about a nation about saying this is my home that would encourage people to reproduce more rather than saying you know the world's going to end anyway you might as well live this sort of ten pro—life of how you identify it. there's no point in procreating because things are going to burn up. alexandra cortex says . up. as alexandra cortex says. and in 11 years, you know, all we are forcing these children through fear and these young people through fear, not to reproduce. well, this is this is where i say ideology is terribly important. so if you look at who
2:17 am
does more children, the does have more children, the religious certainly do have more. interestingly , people more. and interestingly, people on the right tend to have more children, with a stronger children, people with a stronger sense national identity tend sense of national identity tend have more children. and israel, the only oecd country with an above two above replacement , above two above replacement, fertility rates actually have children per woman. there's a very correlation. they don't know what it's to be wiped out. and they and they have a sense of vulnerability from the surrounding nations. now, i'm not calling on the country to become fundamentalist strictly religious , even super religious, even super nationalist, but i do think we need a stronger national story, which we can all identify with, including people within highly overseas ancestors like me, a sense britishness and a sense of wishing to continue our national story. i think that will certainly play into a higher fertility rate. and i do agree with you that are very atomised society where people have an identity and they have any kind of faith and they don't have any
2:18 am
kind of community is kind of society where you're going to have very low fertility rate. having said, course, having said, of course, the japanese have strong sense of japanese do have strong sense of identity and they're still not fully suited to this of you fully suited to this sort of you can't your have your cake can't have your have your cake and it? so you and eat it, isn't it? so you can't turn around on one can't turn around on the one side we need a strong side and say we need a strong sense national identity, sense of national identity, which but which involves not rejecting but resisting immigration plug resisting immigration to plug holes in the economy. and on the other hand, you we need to other hand, you know, we need to maintain a sense of national identity, but we don't want any immigrants. it's it immigrants. a very it's a it seems to be very atomised space. and think your what you're and i think your what you're what you've expressed is , you what you've expressed is, you know, moderate sense , an know, a moderate sense, an understanding of how we continue civilised fashion. well i pointed this trilemma out actually gb news before that actually on gb news before that you have these choices, japan has effectively chosen out of the three choices it could have not to have immigration and ethnic change and not to have large families . and they've large families. and they've taken a real hit on their economy. we in britain want our economy. we in britain want our economy to grow. we want to keep gdp up and paying having
2:19 am
taxpayers paying into the nhs . taxpayers paying into the nhs. at the same time, we don't want many children and therefore the only solution for us is we don't if we do want a buoyant economy and we don't want stagnation . and we don't want stagnation. exactly. and don't want to have large families emigrate from is actually the only solution . actually the only solution. absolutely fascinating . i mean absolutely fascinating. i mean that's the moderate way of expressing what i actually said. thank you so much, paul. right. coming up next, some morbid news for you. the home office has confessed the truth . migrant confessed the truth. migrant children gone missing. did anyone think of putting migrants in hotels? it's going to be a goodidea in hotels? it's going to be a good idea to begin this. we'll be back .
2:23 am
revealed over 200 children seeking asylum have gone missing. the immigration claim, there is no evidence these children have been abducted. this, however, contradicts reports provided other ministers that suggest these children are trafficked from home office run hotel . last october over 100 hotel. last october over 100 children went missing after office started to place channel migrants in hotels. careless but not deliberate . journalists and not deliberate. journalists and campaigners had raised alarm that high figures of missing migrant children, an indicator that minors were trafficked. and it was only just that a migrant who was found of murder yesterday had actually murdered two fellow asylum seekers on his over here. careless not. deliberate. one can't help but think that the home office simply haven't got a clue what they doing. here to , discuss they doing. here to, discuss this with me is professor at the centre for security and intelligence buckingham intelligence at buckingham university, good university, anthony glees. good anthony. are these children being tried ? i think we have to
2:24 am
being tried? i think we have to assume . they are being assume. they are being trafficked . i think that to trafficked. i think that to really serious issues here . really serious issues here. first of all, the welfare these children we you know, we are responsible for their welfare . responsible for their welfare. 88% of them are obese , anyons 88% of them are obese, anyons and i cannot understand why they are in the uk. in any case should go straight back to albania which is a safe country and a country with whom we have cordial relations. so they shouldn't even be here. but the second issue is that if they here, we owe a duty of care to them. but we also owe a duty care to the british people more generally to stop them from being exploited by criminal gangs, criminal . clearly, in the gangs, criminal. clearly, in the united kingdom . so it's just the united kingdom. so it's just the home office that is failing in its duty . self—evidently it is
2:25 am
its duty. self—evidently it is the border force above , i think the border force above, i think the border force above, i think the national crime agency is a primary of government to keep this country secure. in fact, many people would say it is the only private duty a government has to keep its people secure. well it's not doing it. and for all her tough words and smirks and smiles, suella braverman is in many ways making a battered fist . it, as priti patel did in many ways making a battered fist. it, as priti patel did . it fist. it, as priti patel did. it must stop. well, you know, it's pretty as you look across the towns all over england , across towns all over england, across particularly across the north, that we don't care about our own children . so god forbid what children. so god forbid what happens a migrant child , they happens a migrant child, they arrive. but this children are missing. that's so terrifying to me. is missing. what's the name this have to say about it? what infrastructure needs to be put infrastructure needs to be put in place to stop people in a developed like britain ? well, i
2:26 am
developed like britain? well, i think two things that need to be done. first of all, as far as united kingdom is concerned , we united kingdom is concerned, we need to ensure those people we pay need to ensure those people we pay to keep us safe and keep people safe are fit for purpose . clearly, that is not the case when it comes to the national crime agency , the immigration crime agency, the immigration offices . they're meant to keep offices. they're meant to keep people out . but actually, as in people out. but actually, as in the case of this albanian murderer , they don't keep them murderer, they don't keep them out. they let them in. so that question needs addressing . and question needs addressing. and then, in my view , we need to do then, in my view, we need to do something else to there needs to be an a war in france and belgium to stop people coming by boats to the united kingdom in the first place. we can't do it in the united kingdom. we have to do it in and belgium. we're not going to fire on the boats of people. we're not going to
2:27 am
kill people. that isn't what we do. but we are entitled to stop them. and one of the points, brexit, although it's denied , brexit, although it's denied, heard your previous speakers know we need immigrants. he may well be right. i think he probably right. but it's not what people voted for . they what people voted for. they voted for a clear and firm image creation policy and the home secretary has duty of delivering it is blindingly obvious that it has change. well, i mean, it seems blindingly obvious to the majority of brits now that there's no intention to actually complete a brexit and all of these policies are just dust in these policies are just dust in the wind. but, you know, we had a migrant was found guilty of killing an aspiring marine the other day, does it what does this say about asylum process ? this say about asylum process? well, there again , i mean, this well, there again, i mean, this person said he didn't come on small boat. he came on a ferry from cherbourg to poole and, was examined by immigration officers , a pool, and let in it would
2:28 am
appear to be the case that he was let in without any reference whatsoever . to the files that whatsoever. to the files that would have existed on him in europe and they lawrence you say you make a point and it is a point you and i got to disagree with because for me for brexit to work it can only work together in partnership with european union countries. we cannot do it by ourselves clearly. we can't do it by ourselves . people who come from ourselves. people who come from albania, 88% of these young people need to be sent at once before the people traffickers can get their has i. i am not organised this country on on that we can agree. i think we're even on our own side anymore. anyway, thank you very much, anthony . appreciate your time on anthony. appreciate your time on this. coming up, do you enjoy
2:29 am
2:32 am
all right . all right. hola. now all right . hola. now before we all right. hola. now before we go to my next guest , i all right. hola. now before we go to my next guest, i asked you earlier as birth are plummeting across the globe is it the end of the world as we know it? email me at your views at gb news or tweet gb news. can says yes, lawrence, we may not be breeding to renew, but we now have billion in the world and we are overcrowd it in this country. more people will use up more natural resources . we have more natural resources. we have a choice survive or fail . a choice survive or fail. eugenicist alert and says who in
2:33 am
right mind would want to bring kids into this world as it is? well, in one we can make a better world. surely we do that. we can't just stare backwards in 20 years. it says when you have two opposing cultures and one is weak, stronger take weak, the stronger one will take oven weak, the stronger one will take over. and that's the way it's always been. and what's wrong with the lower birthrate, or do we keep breeding and we just keep breeding and consuming? see consuming? well, you see this funny it's called funny and it's called perpetuating population, perpetuating the population, right ? as you perpetuating the population, right? as you may be perpetuating the population, right ? as you may be aware, the right? as you may be aware, the government , the heroic decision government, the heroic decision to ban the sale of all new diesel. you remember when they told us to buy diesel in? anyway, let's that one and petrol cars by the year 2030 with electric cars becoming and the average price falling between somewhere between 40 and 50,000 quid for the rich. that's not too much for a problem you know the sort of people who get wound up climate change because it ruins holidays some rich but for you'll just have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal you'll just have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with you'll just have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with it'ou'll just have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with it evenjust have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with it even uk: have it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with it even uk chief�* it ruins holidays some rich but fordeal with it even uk chief of to deal with it even uk chief of one of the largest makers of zero emission cars warned just
2:34 am
the day that the cost of the other day that the cost of batteries have no batteries mean they have no plans market product. plans for mass market product. and batteries, the and speaking of batteries, the sort of people who push for the green are about green agenda are all about ethics. know it's ethics. but we know it's frequently congolese children mining cobalt. just help us mining the cobalt. just help us feel carbon feel better about own carbon poor print . so joining me to poor print. so joining me to debate ethics of going electric to toby young , associate editor to toby young, associate editor at the spectator and pete knapp, air student phd. pete air quality student phd. pete should be banned sale of all electric cars by 2030. well, i. i would like to see i definitely don't see a growth in them. i think this is what i think manufacturers want to see. they know fossil fuel cars are fossils. they know they're going , but they want something to take the place. they want to push electric cars on us. and as as as you were saying, we've got so many problems. the mining with the resources and i don't want to see an increase in in capacity on this on the streets i want to see them done complete they want mass transit and no individual choice. toby, should
2:35 am
we ban battery powered cars by 2030. well, i think there's strong case. i mean, first of all, there are there are bad proposition from a kind of consumers point of view. so more or less the cheapest electric car you can , a fiat 500 zero car you can, a fiat 500 zero emissions, electric car costs upwards , £30,000. we were told, upwards, £30,000. we were told, you know , three years ago when you know, three years ago when we were all urged to convert to electric that soon charging points would spring up all over the united kingdom. actually, when you leave the big urban centres , you travel further centres, you travel further north, charging are few and far between and those do exist. many of are out of order. and if you can find one that's actually working, you have to queue for upwards of 4 hours to charge your car . so, know, the your car. so, you know, the anxiety of driving down the motorway electric car, motorway in an electric car, worrying about whether it's going to run out of fuel before you get to a working charging point. is the point. i mean, is worth the money just that . but you money just for that. but as you say, know , all they actually say, you know, all they actually greener than petrol or diesel dnven greener than petrol or diesel driven cars. i mean the carbon

emissions involved producing an electric car . the batteries are electric car. the batteries are so carbon intensive to produce is much higher than the carbon footprint in producing a petrol or diesel driven the electricity using to power your electric car, which incidentally now costs you more to run than a petrol diesel driven car because electricity prices have gone up so much in the last eight months. but the electricity using is driven by fossil fuels for the most part. so, you know where's the where's the greenery in that? so, you know, from a consumer's point of view from an environmental point view, environmental point of view, they be nonsense they out to be complete nonsense pay- they out to be complete nonsense pay. i was driven in to here tonight in an electric car and i got in the car and the guy was wearing a full parka and big hat and he was scared to put in the heating. he'd run out of batteries. he said he. goes past petrol stations and looks at them with sort of nostalgic joy . yeah yeah. and people do to have the individuality and individual choice to travel what
2:37 am
we can replace cars with it is electric disgust, environmentally destroying cars. a dreadful and internal combustion engine isn't acceptable to you. greenie yeah, well, i would say if we think back to the audience watching this may remember of them may remember what it's like in the sixties. if you take every car that you saw in the sixties and you multiply it four, that's what we've got today. so we have to scale that down. how why should we shut it down. well because i think we need to try to reduce our travel. i think we've by obsess. should we should we be going to our kids? you can go to hawaii on a plane that mean there's no travel. the sense of commuting, i think the huge amount of traffic is created by the commute . no one created by the commute. no one likes the commute and imagine what it would be like if there would if there weren't any traffic jams on motorways . traffic jams on motorways. you've got on a on a bus. let's say that it was a an electric bus. now this is where i would
2:38 am
say that it's some electric vehicles are better if we take pubuc vehicles are better if we take public transport, we electrify that. i think that's a thing. i don't think it's a great for private cars and mainly for reasons you were saying in terms of the consumption, the amount of the consumption, the amount of resources required to do that . so i'm watching the states thinking about getting an electric car. i would say think about it again because if you do make that purchase , then you make that purchase, then you will purchasing a huge amount of embedded . and instead i would embedded. and instead i would even keep that car it less but get on more campaign for better pubuc get on more campaign for better public transport single mum three kids, different schools . three kids, different schools. yeah that's right. three kids, different schools. yeah that's right . you can't say yeah that's right. you can't say know three young children, different schools . all i want is different schools. all i want is a i completely agree with you ideologically . so we need to ideologically. so we need to reduce pointless journeys toby all this sort of stuff. single mum, three kids and the shopping to different schools the to do different schools in the morning. she do it? morning. how does she do it? yeah if your kids are all
2:39 am
yeah well, if your kids are all going to different schools , then going to different schools, then that's unfortunate . i would say that's unfortunate. i would say happens. kids have needs, you know, surely . yeah. but i mean, know, surely. yeah. but i mean, i would i would argue for schools. every school cater for people with special needs. but in this situation where people feel that they're tied into problem, where they are forced into having a car, i'd say that they're a victim of the car industry, i know that's quite a good one. types of vehicle. are you a victim of car industry you all you've got loads children you disgusting eco awful yeah but luckily they all go to the same school but i do feel that as a car driver as a motorist, i do feel slightly victimised. i mean, you help but feel white as well as a motorist that you are you know you've become an unfashionable well picked upon minority. i mean you know you've got lanes taking up, you know half the road bicycle you kind of see like euston road , you of see like euston road, you know you have to pay the congestion charge to go into central london . sadiq khan is central london. sadiq khan is about to introduce this new
2:40 am
charge. we live in oxford or canterbury. if you go outside 50 minute neighbourhood, you'll have to do it more than 100 times a year. you'll to pay a penalty. you know, the on the motorist you know, it's never been at a higher pitch. and then you hear this quite kind of symbol of freedom . why are we symbol of freedom. why are we persecuting for wanting the independence and freedom of having their own motorcars ? we having their own motorcars? we were hit. we are a majority why are we so put upon? why are we so victimised? who's going to speak lawrence for the motorist. he spoke for toby defend this poor man he but this bike superman his bike superman there's lots of things going here let's address each problem and solve toby's problem. i would say that the biggest victims here are the people who are unfortunately killed by cars. now if we look globally, that's about 1.35 million people every year who are killed in the uk. that translates to one death every 16 minutes. so is a
2:41 am
problem. when i say death, i mean death or serious injuries. i mean, let's not do because i just go, you know, you eat tonnes of peanuts and you're going to die the whole stock , going to die the whole stock, you know, lot of if we of course you know, lot of if we of course you can't drink and drive, you know, we're doing everything we can't let's get away from that . can't let's get away from that. please defend my poor victimised and a guest against the damage thatis and a guest against the damage that is suffering from bike supremacy yeah supremacy supremacist yeah we think about the number of people who have decided to start cycling and i'm one of them. i used to be a driver and now i've moved to london and i'm making that a because london has much better pubuc because london has much better public transport than many other places. i was in a position where could start to learn to actually , and i loved it . i got actually, and i loved it. i got around london quicker with less pollution. it was cheaper and it was a free gym. it excellent. i like around london was fantastic
2:42 am
and i found that going down roads with a particular cycle lane made things a lot easier. yeah. and you do feel safer. there is an argument for , all of there is an argument for, all of it and types . well, final word it and types. well, final word i final keep it brief because i plan the other day by liverpool street station i to turn into a lane and i ran up against a barrier designed to protect cyclists from motorists and actually i ended up flat on my face sometimes were unintended consequences for penalise the motorist and helping the cyclist on i'm caught inside thank you gentlemen . right that was gentlemen. right that was wonderful. coming up, what candidate was jesus ? man, woman candidate was jesus? man, woman , people kind something in between , perhaps. find out after between, perhaps. find out after the .
2:46 am
break jesus cry i superstar. break jesus cry i superstar . looks jesus cry i superstar. looks like a fella. but he wears a bra right ? and a new and supposedly right? and a new and supposedly radical production of jesus christ himself put on by the edinburgh university's savoy opera group. jesus is being played by a non—binary actor , played by a non—binary actor, whatever that means. and judas is played by a woman making this version of the show. the world's first gender neutral production of the rock opera kill me now . of the rock opera kill me now. the creators who produced the highlights, the gender neutral casting is as one of the most prominent features of the production and the musical director said, taking away the boundanes director said, taking away the boundaries gendered roles allowed us find a dynamic and captivating cast, although andrew lloyd webber proved this change, he has insisted that they sing. i don't know how to
2:47 am
love him about jesus, rather than i don't know how to love them. seems to me that this is a desperate corporate pr attempt to make headlines with a show that has lost its edge. a long time ago. how can they claim this production is radical, controversial when they're telling this vision line on gender identity ? joining to gender identity? joining to discuss this is some downer because the guy actually is making the show is cowardly to turn up he's got problems with his mental health son oh tell me something that's unfortunate. how you look . great. thank you. how you look. great. thank you. you do that wonderful. how do you look ? a non—binary audience you look? a non—binary audience auditioning for jesus christ superstar in the eye and say, why is his not going to non—binary person of colour ? oh non—binary person of colour? oh come on. i mean, look further cans of worms are insane. come on, love has as somebody who has
2:48 am
acted a lot yourself prolifically let's say you know the director is strive to find something to do this is a 50 year old musical so they would be looking for something different, something to draw in the crowds and they've got it. you've just said you've just said oh they just want to get headunes said oh they just want to get headlines and talk about the mainstream here you mainstream media and here you are. viewers set up are. but the viewers get set up and about on it what you and talk about on it what you you are some down to christ superstar the only superstar dog. you are the only person that will actually come on defend this oppressed on and defend this oppressed community. well, it's no what we're talking about like we're talking about here like this isn't to do with the press community or anything. this is do with and you know the artist's is artist's objective and this is this is was not jesus wasn't white this is not will not have existed either that is you know that to me is a moot point. so i mean this is this is a story like that he also this thing you know, i mean, whether he was real or not, pretty sure he didn't sing musical numbers. i'm pretty sure he didn't have a multicoloured coat either. but he's joseph yeah okay,
2:49 am
he's black. joseph yeah okay, sorry. theology, might it sorry. so in theology, might it be on not really theology more musicology ? phillip schofield musicology? phillip schofield parts, right . but my musicology? phillip schofield parts, right. but my point is, is that , you know, we've had, is that, you know, we've had, you know , we've, we've had, you you know, we've, we've had, you know, and all, all male oh what was the swan . oh god, i've was the swan. oh god, i've forgotten what like an all male we've had an all male lake, we've had an all male lake, we've had an all male lake, we've had glenda jackson play king lear, we've had like, you know, gender swapping, plenty of like shakespearean . of course, like shakespearean. of course, they it relevant . they try and keep it relevant. you've the you've got michelle, the wonderful gayle playing harmony in the west end and people were like, oh, but she's black. she can be. but i mean, this is again, this is art is subjective. let's get let's get bums on seats. that's more important then than whining about of course about who plays what. of course , the m the apostles, rather than played by men, they than played by men, because they are traditionally they're played by women and non—binary people. so let like good for them. so let me like good for them. this is i mean, i say let's watch the show first before we criticise that. you think criticise that. do you think there's more emphasis nowadays
2:50 am
on to of switch on being to sort of switch gender? then you can switch race for example you know, bear in mind that jesus is a prophet in, in islamic religion as well. so he's sort did exist. he would not been a white person . so not been a white person. so surely is. okay, this is paul. yeah surely. okay. but that's the past and as you say, we're looking at the future. yeah surely this character should have been paid by a non—binary of colour . surely again , you're of colour. surely again, you're trying to, you know poke, poke the hornet's nest . think as per the hornet's nest. think as per you usual be it. no. right, i'm getting the buzzing in my head already. black could be something else, but it could be mental health. however, i think , you know, as i said, this is this is this is you know, this is a great thing and it is something different. it's not not of the west end is in edinburgh i'm sure you're trying to find some sort of way to it's the national theatre paying for it. course that it. well yeah of course that that's again you know that's fine and again you know how important is to support the
2:51 am
arts centre and support theatres. yeah because they've supported me so well over the years there's pats on the back and the calls for me to be denounced but we couldn't say whose fault that was, but what we will say is that, is that it's important , it's important it's important, it's important for that , for, for the arts to for that, for, for the arts to get people to go to pay for the ticket to the actors was born this is about three non—binary people in the whole of the world we've got to find you've got two non—binary actors emma corrin emma darcy playing to the biggest parts of the name and one of them play diner in the crown and one of them is currently playing a character in the dragon, winning the house of the dragon, winning course right centre. course left, right and centre. so non—binary no so these are non—binary and no one as bat an eyelid one has known as bat an eyelid about. one has known as bat an eyelid about . fact they are about. the fact that they are non—binary, tell me what non—binary, tell me what non—binary means. it means that you or you don't live with either or female. even though you've got that. female. even though you've got that . but not, not, not female. even though you've got that. but not, not, not in your head. you're you don't feel that way. that's, you know, way. and that's, you know, that's your to say so okay. what do we agree about that theatre
2:52 am
important. yeah. and that acting is like whether you're a non—binary or not of these get paid for if you're if want to do it and also know we support the arts in the uk around the world some a legend for having a spoke woman from the production said . woman from the production said. i think it's great our production is getting a lot of attention from the press and is so important and i'm a lot aren't allowed to take the mickey to people to me so i think it's great that we're down these boundaries in the theatre . that's what art is for. anyway, thank you . it's now time anyway, thank you. it's now time where you put me on the spot. on the spot. let's hear what you've got for me. could reclaim marriage with reform. well, you just thought it would be a good idea, wouldn't but old he's idea, wouldn't you? but old he's . he's into toxic . he's not here . he's into toxic. he's not here to defend himself, but he's into toxic anyway . how do we stay ? toxic anyway. how do we stay? drivers get to work . okay. be on drivers get to work. okay. be on that one line. what's your view on tactical voting? i did work.
