downgraded their ambitions, doesn't it.7 the telegraph police use of chinese drones risks uk security. i have hunt urged to boost defence spending or risk failing to defer. i think that's deter putin and the guardian missed chance to arrest cousins sex offenders suspect . images sex offenders suspect. images there from the horrible earthquake in syria. meanwhile times expose the secret plot to sink sewage rules and an unfortunate image of poor old camilla there who has nothing to do with any of that. the staff we can't rule out aliens. i think that's the spy balloons again. so those were your front pages. again. so those were your front pages . so let again. so those were your front pages. so let us kick again. so those were your front pages . so let us kick off with a pages. so let us kick off with a look at the front page of the

daily mail . yes. so britain is daily mail. yes. so britain is ready to shoot down chinese spy balloons . yu rishi sunak. so balloons. yu rishi sunak. so tough. tough on balloons. tough on the causes of balloons . on the causes of balloons. there's a new mantra for the tory. this is going to take the government is going to do whatever it takes to keep the uk safe even if it stretches to using a broom handle with a drawing pin that all of us, when you can't deal with inflation strikes or the nhs but, it can deal with some balloons. that love ordering the armed forces around a little bit as well, don't they? especially if it's not likely trigger not actually likely to trigger war? win win point of war? it's a win win point of view. what do you . is it a view. what do you. is it a genuine security alert or are these weather balloons that they're using to distract us from what's actually going on? i don't know about the balloons themselves. i'm suspicious of our military capabilities because told we because we were recently told we can't military can't even defend our military is nothing. now, we've is up to nothing. now, we've seen typhoon seen that talking about typhoon planes on 24 seven planes that are on 24 seven readiness. my theory is was out in the kitchen and he did a kind of a kaisa sos was has some of a kaisa sos was he has some thai yeah typhoon,

thai food. yeah typhoon, typhoon, and they're typhoon, planes and they're based in yorkshire. i mean yorkshire. they've got these special pig . i'm going to keep special pig. i'm going to keep it pg of special pig. i'm going to keep it p6 of the you know, this is national. i think it did a kaiser sos because he's saying it's quite convenient. i can't say too much because of national security, but we've got security, but we've totally got planes in 2017. planes ready for it in 2017. feels, though, doesn't it? it's hard imagine less fearsome hard to imagine a less fearsome foe. i mean , they may well be foe. i mean, they may well be taking valuable shots of airfields. i can't imagine what you can see of britain from above that you couldn't from walking through a street. walking through a high street. well, protecting our cloud well, we're protecting our cloud coven well, we're protecting our cloud cover. this is something we don't have in montana. yeah, inclement weather going to inclement weather is going to keep from prying, keep us safe from prying, but they're going to be armed of they're not going to be armed of celebrities. there's going to be any come. they're even going any come. they're not even going to be wreckage. i mean, at least when shot the when the soviet shot down the u—2 gary was taken u—2 and gary powers was taken prisoner, know , at least prisoner, you know, at least there the potential there was the potential for a falling wing kind of slice falling wing to kind of slice through it, too. like it's like it's just so pathetic . it's it's just so pathetic. it's i don't know. it feels like this is the final iteration of our

defenceless ness in a way. yes. well, the our . it was by defenceless ness in a way. yes. well, the our. it was by a balloon. yeah well, taking our fish to it, apparently. the really difficult to shoot down because they're so high up. they go. they go above the go at an altitude much higher than a plane can go. right. you need a missile to fire from plane missile to fire from the plane that go up and hit the that will then go up and hit the balloon. then it's really hard to hit a balloon. it's a balloon. there's no like hard to the balloon to the missile the balloon to for the missile to explode. i think to strike and explode. i think you be right about your you might be right about your pin a broomstick. pin on the of a broomstick. well, certainly good news well, it's certainly good news for anyone who's been looking for anyone who's been looking for not to waste for a good excuse not to waste good on a hot air ride good money on a hot air ride tomorrow. air the hot tomorrow. the air the hot air balloons, popular balloons, their popular valentine's really valentine's day gift. oh, really these week. these days, not this week. playing china's that's playing china's hands. that's right. so our next front page is the telegraph , which is usually the telegraph, which is usually stacked with every story of the day. yet it's on the sort of soft war with china . it's police soft war with china. it's police use chinese police use of chinese drones whisks uk . we've chinese drones whisks uk. we've been slow and very been very, very slow and very naive about the whole threat

from because we're using from china because we're using these and they're made by these drones and they're made by a company that is already on the is listed as a national security risk the us and blacklist they've we've been using them and what we're realise is and what we're not realise is that are suddenly that the drones are suddenly going hail ccp and going to say hail the ccp and turn against us at minute turn against us at any minute because there's also issue because there's also the issue of that run them and of the apps that run them and fly they can get your fly them and they can get your information , you know, basically information, you know, basically tick tock of whatever is. the tick tock of whatever it is. the same is tick tock. it's same problem is tick tock. it's the same problems. everything we're china, we're at we're using china, but we're at war china. kind of. and so war with china. kind of. and so suella she has suella braverman says she has concerns it, which is concerns about it, which is nice. but liz truss, who's been tough on this and sunak is going tough on this and sunak is going to her first public to come back in her first public speech quitting and going speech since quitting and going to weak on china to say why are you weak on china too? sunak apparently. and he's going to say we need to find a balance course, he's balance because of course, he's in can be bit more in a she can be a bit more reckless now. she wants to get revenge, in more sort of revenge, but in a more sort of diplomatic tradition, it's a good from her point of good idea from her point of view, isn't it? i mean, is kind of weird, isn't it. don't know where stood on craps kitchen where we stood on craps kitchen where we stood on craps kitchen where 1930, but it where in the late 1930, but it does feel little like that

does feel little bit like that at moment. we're just at the moment. we're just kind of have make so much of you have a they make so much stuff they they to 56 communications servers all this stuff the our infrastructure is the foundations it yeah that the foundations of it yeah that they you get into they can then you know get into they can then you know get into the end and steal data the back end and steal our data and trouble is you and obviously the trouble is you know we've in know wars as we've seen in ukraine wars depend on drones so much we don't want to be relying on china for drones. if we go to war with china, they can be like, well, don't any like, well, you don't get any more drones. we're just more drones. well we're just going the who going to disable the ones who already have. yeah, it's a tncky already have. yeah, it's a tricky one as well because i think the suspicion when hear about spying is normally about spying is you normally imagine we're talking about government secrets, but of course, industrial course, a bit is industrial espionage, well, espionage, isn't it? well, they're they're they're just getting they're just data they just getting the data they need in order function at in order to function at a commercial better than us. commercial level better than us. more you don't need more powerful. you don't need much of edge that kind of much of edge in that kind of scenario. you don't necessarily need know about new need to know about the new nuclear might simply nuclear reactor. it might simply be and about be a no. and it's all about a semiconductors. now they to semiconductors. now they want to get taiwan. all get from taiwan. there's all that. yeah. that's that. yeah. yeah. well that's interesting. anything else on the the telegraph the front page of the telegraph you to draw attention to? you want to draw attention to? well we're all doing most of it

later. i think there's a the charles has written charles moore has written a column the bottom left hand column in the bottom left hand corner nigel biggar corner there about nigel biggar and colonialism and his book about colonialism actually i actually getting published. i mentioned i mentioned 6b news is covered. i covered the daily i'm good covered it on the daily i'm good bloomsbury basically cancelled it this book and it saying it was this book and now william collins is now i think william collins is called in put it out. yeah called in to put it out. yeah colonialism is good then. that was the thing he said then i gave a balanced view of the empire right? this is amazing. some person believes he some of the person believes he got of and said, oh, got hold of it and said, oh, pubuc got hold of it and said, oh, public feeling is not that's not the to it because of the right time to it because of pubuc the right time to it because of public feelings. hopefully one of historians. yeah of our best historians. yeah it's obviously pathetic. it has it really kind of it has actually really kind of brought whole into brought this whole thing into sharp think it's sharp relief. i think it's i think lot of people are quite think a lot of people are quite pleased that pleased to see that harpercollins with it harpercollins have gone with it and like number one and now it's like number one best seller in history on amazon is right spikes to be fair it and said was actually a bit and said it was actually a bit fight empire and spies fight of the empire and spies have well the other but have said well the other way but i'm going to have to actually read it before i give a strong opinion pleased to see opinion but i'm pleased to see it's the guardian . leo it's in print. the guardian. leo so the guardian running with

police ms. chances to arrest wayne cousins as a sex offender , suspects there are clear chances. he's obviously , suspects there are clear chances . he's obviously been chances. he's obviously been he's pleaded guilty to three counts of , i he's pleaded guilty to three counts of, i think, he's pleaded guilty to three counts of , i think, exposing counts of, i think, exposing himself to two people. and he exposed himself three times in three times. he was caught and arrested and charged for. but yes, three times. and witnesses recorded either registration details of his vehicles or partial details and, reported it to the police and the police did nothing. and they left him to continue as a metropolitan police officer with a gun or entrusted a gun and obviously went and went onto to that horrific murder. i never had one. one of the incidents was just six days before that. so if the police had done their job, the police had done theirjob, just apprehended him, then , you just apprehended him, then, you know, she'd still be alive . know, she'd still be alive. yeah. it's often the case, isn't it when you get a case that kind of triggers and provokes a whole slew of debate about laws need

to change and how culture needs to change and how culture needs to change. you just think just do your job. get the rules that are already in place. this wouldn't have happened. yeah it's astonishing he didn't it's astonishing that he didn't even him to guilty even expect him to plead guilty to indecent to these charges of indecent exposure that . he they got exposure that. he has. they got stuff legal system , a stuff like legal system, a number from his phone , number plates from his phone, and lee anderson has been and then lee anderson has been in the news for saying that there's nothing wrong with the death there was ever death penalty. if there was ever a for the death penalty. a case for the death penalty. this candidate. it's this is a good candidate. it's very that, isn't it? very interesting that, isn't it? because i know i mean, i've seen various arguments back forth various arguments back and forth and old ones and they're always the old ones with the penalty. but a lot of them seem to rest on a kind of nofion them seem to rest on a kind of notion of the slippery slope, which interesting, because which is interesting, because the always the slippery slope always used as argument, usually as an argument, usually by liberals against reactionary measures, that's measures, isn't it? but that's what this one. if what they say with this one. if once, it in, you know, for once, bring it in, you know, for heinous of this kind heinous crimes of this kind before, know, you'll before, you know, oh, you'll have to, you know, you're having to hang men who have, you know, who are not come and killed a burglar in their own garden or something when he was coming at them with the machete. you wouldn't. even wouldn't. i think i think even

if put one out like if you just put one out like this a year. yeah, yeah, yeah. with where they with people where they technology you can play the lottery that's still where has made you know, made it, you know, incontrovertible . yeah. why not incontrovertible. yeah. why not do was brought in do it. it was brought in in the sixties by leftist most sixties by radical leftist most british in it for british people believe in it for things child murder and things like child murder and terrorist as you terrorist murders. and as you say, the extent to which dna evidence is not absolutely foolproof . you can you can foolproof. but you can you can really ratchet up to a chance in a. yeah. and we're bringing through euthanasia. yes some countries that are really advanced with it like it like in canada where you know, if you can't your bills or you're going through mental difficulties , you through mental difficulties, you know, stuff the weekend. yeah yeah. basically yeah. you've got a bad hangover. you can just phone up the government to come in and do you in. yeah. people are happy to have a military and then they say we can't have the state killing people. it's like, well what's, what's the military? says, know, military? so it says, you know, the are pretty the arguments are often pretty thin. true. i mean, thin. it isn't true. i mean, you a christian, nick, know one of a christian, nick, i know one of the things that gets up the things that gets brought up a lot is life ultimately

a lot is, is life ultimately sacred, you know, and if the state has the right state accepts it has the right to life away, then that to take life away, then that undermines the notion that life is but if you've already is sacred. but if you've already got offering got the state offering euthanasia, that's sort of nibble before i'm nibble away at that before i'm going to the old testament, going back to the old testament, i that's had it i find i know that's had it right there. we change right there. why did we change his the state. i love his mind, say the state. i love that those three people advocating the death but you will that many will you'll see that many different all been different sides we've all been presbyterian finally presbyterian but all pro finally what are our friends at the daily cell going with nick? yeah. sharp left let's yeah. and sharp left turn. let's go on aliens as americans go on to aliens as the americans shoot down a fourth mysterious object flying in the airspace, a top military commander reveals we out aliens and got we can't rule out aliens and got it going. thank you, ma'am, because it's the star, but . but because it's the star, but. but it is a serious story. i mean , it is a serious story. i mean, it's well, in the of real. that's quite big, isn't it? i mean star how do they the sun was broken and no other papers were covering and bits were off the they've got aliens. the sun. now they've got aliens. there's big stories. so 6eneral 6lenn van hook has said that he hasn't rule ruled out anything in to in leaving it to counter—intelligence because he doesn't is. there

counter—intelligence because he doesone is. there counter—intelligence because he doesone that is. there counter—intelligence because he doesone that was is. there counter—intelligence because he doesone that was thought there counter—intelligence because he doesone that was thought tiber was one that was thought to be china, there's china, but then there's sightings alaska, michigan sightings over alaska, michigan and canada have been hard and canada that have been hard to . and, you know, so to classify. and, you know, so it aliens are real it looks like aliens are real guys there's i saw guys and there's that me i saw the day it was to aliens the other day it was to aliens and it said one of them saying, can we yet? and the other can we land yet? and the other one no, too early. at one said, no, it's too early. at the they're trying to the moment they're trying to change weather eating change the weather by eating bugs. that's maybe bugs. it's like so that's maybe i seen them like with i haven't seen them like with douglas adams in the civilisation that was in early eighties who were so primitive they thought digital they still thought digital watches were neat. i know watches were pretty neat. i know that when i suppose there is there is a sort of slight maybe i know if it's a serious point but the most serious i could make out of this is there's some extent to which every so often the government like the government quite like to have a debate about ufos because it's i say it's a distraction. i did say that saying that now that they're saying they're real i don't it they're real now, i don't it because like, why they because i'm like, why are they suddenly saying it's real? so yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be much us government much more the us government though the though i don't think the uk government think think government i think they i think we what kind of we know what, what kind of distracts us sport basically we know what, what kind of distr.itts us sport basically we know what, what kind of distr.it sport.port basically we know what, what kind of distr.it sport. and basically we know what, what kind of distr.it sport. and whether you

isn't it sport. and whether you know it's pictures of the crowds all descending on brighton beach, idea is very beach, the idea of ufos is very much a kind of rural kind of ohio kind of that. i grew up in the countryside and the scottish countryside and i saw , me and my friends, we saw a ufo, me and my friends, we went a walk in hills went for a walk in the hills might have some, you know, might have eaten some, you know, grown dusk . they were grown sober dusk. they were looking down this valley and. this disc was coming towards us. you see the lights on the edge of the disc. and we were like preparing speeches. we were like, oh, this is definitely. and got close and it was and then it got close and it was like seven planes flying in formation. what the ice formation. that's what the ice house the hill in house on the hill in buckinghamshire about three years with of years ago with a couple of mates. may have had a mates. and we may have had a slightly consciousness altering mates. and we may have had a sliinny consciousness altering mates. and we may have had a sliinn the nsciousness altering mates. and we may have had a sliinn the eveningess altering mates. and we may have had a sliinn the evening andiltering mates. and we may have had a sliinn the evening and we 'ing mates. and we may have had a sliinn the evening and we were and in the evening and we were staring what we couldn't staring at what this we couldn't find map anywhere this find on the map anywhere this huge it wasn't an alien huge tower it wasn't an alien thing a very high tower thing it was a very high tower lights going up and down it, like in a kind of fairground thing, we're thinking, it thing, we're thinking, is it part fairground? we part of a fairground? we realised the it was realised it was the a40 it was just we were in such alignment with, let's say later on the mind is also started by edibles and it was dark, it was you just

feel your own story. but then the northern lights all part the northern lights all for part one. up , we the northern lights all for part one. up, we take a deeper one. coming up, we take a deeper look into the papers and talk about nightmares. the about more nightmares. the surgeon, angela rayner's scandalous spending and how the bank mum and might not be bank mum and dad might not be that great for country. that great for the country. anyway, see you in a anyway, we'll see you in a couple of minutes .

welcome back to headline . i'm welcome back to headline. i'm simon evans. tonight i'm in the company , two top comedians, leo company, two top comedians, leo kearse and, nick dixon, leo telegraph first sounds like i no longer to pretend to understand northern ireland backstop. oh yeah. northern ireland backstop. oh yeah . wouldn't it be great? i yeah. wouldn't it be great? i mean, it's just so boring. oh this brexit stuff. i mean, nobody voted boringness. no, this is. this is ridiculous. but there's be a new brexit there's going to be a new brexit as the northern ireland deadlock comes to an end. it's going to be announced the next fortnight after the uk watered down its

hardline resistance to european judges on in judges rulings on issues in northern ireland. under the under the new plan goods travelling the mainland uk travelling from the mainland uk destined only for northern ireland. so not for ireland itself , not face physical itself, not face physical customs checks thanks to a new system of red and green lane. it sounds like the most basic system that's been in place yet. airports since late, late 70 airports since the late, late 70 finish also zones very easy very open to exploitation. so you know you could get things but there's a certain amount of money you're go into northern ireland and then send it send it to you. so it'll create this almost borderless , frictionless almost borderless, frictionless area of trade with europe . it area of trade with europe. it might well do and it might actually forward actually be way forward generally. this at generally. but i said this at time, only a question of time, it's only a question of will do if there is a to will a way forward, you will always find one. yeah. if is find one. yeah. and if there is a to use a potential problem as an obstacle to achieving a certain end and that is what happen. and the will you since since brexit how europe been you know wanting to cause problems

for britain and britain has been you know sticking its sticking its feet fitted to children heels because it didn't want it didn't want to be seen to be of giving too much to europe but no the you know i think with with putin reminding us that actually we're all we're all of well, also it's nearly seven years past now since the original and there was a point there's no danger other countries europe worried that other countries would follow britain's lead and leave but you know leave europe. but that, you know that so now that dangerous past. so now everybody's , you know, a everybody's, you know, being a bit polished i think bit polished although i think italy still be potentially there was still i still think was still i think still think quickly best option quickly is the best option although think well although spelt i think as well you spouting no that you know about spouting no that spain my word spain spain that's my word for spain by south. are they going to spain. i don't think they're going to their main threat is scotland's independence isn't it. yeah. triggering a catalan again as editor west who i often quote on this programme demonstrate the demographics don't support it. there's enough angry young men in catalonia anymore to actually get out and

make life . what do we have next? make life. what do we have next? daily mail. nick three years on angela's e earbuds, there's an story angela rayner defends by anipad story angela rayner defends by an ipad in £249 personalise the airpods on expensive as she slams scandalous spending on government procurement card. so of course it's about hypocrisy and obviously labour hypocrites but my satirical non—legal opinion but basically this thing about th e £240 you know airport about the £240 you know airport personalised i mean i got personalised i mean i got personalised message no extra. they just put your name the card in case i'm like you may as well just safekeeping. yeah. so that was always really scratched in with the end of a compass. yes, exactly. pretty minor exactly. so that's pretty minor to apparently there's to me. but apparently there's an ipad costs 1600. and ipad that costs around 1600. and she top of the she said, well, top of the range. i mean, she must you have to do some wicked stuff. she claims she's had for like claims she's had it for like three and she's using it three years and she's using it for i'm speaking to for works like i'm speaking to you right now, told you on it right now, she told times radio. my problem times radio. now, my problem there she's not self there is she's not self employed. if you're

employed. like if you're claiming as self—employed because self—employed basically get every because self—employed basically get way. every because self—employed basically get way. so every because self—employed basically get way. so i every because self—employed basically get way. so i think every because self—employed basically get way. so i think it's every because self—employed basically get way. so i think it's fairary other way. so i think it's fair enough. you know, comedians enough. and you know, comedians mostly paid they mostly i haven't paid do they pay mostly i haven't paid do they pay tax and drug dealers pay less tax and drug dealers don't they let their boss off the hackman in the grid as gene hackman in anyway stage anyway this thing stage surrounded christie surrounded by elected christie so could get into so like nothing could get into but anyway so you know a self—employed it's self—employed person it's reasonable claim expenses my thing more they got thing is pm pays more they got to keep doing these dodgy expenses because should expenses because why should she even of minor even know? it's kind of minor why she really get it why should she really get it paid for when she thought, he got a wage. i i do got a wage. i know i do understand what you mean. she's not but not technically selfish, but it's fairly cost. it's still a fairly minor cost. but other hand, six year but on the other hand, six year antiquities, lot i would antiquities, a lot is i would struggle find an an i think struggle to find an an i think i thought top of the range one thought the top of the range one was about 1200. yeah if the taxpayers pin you. yeah yeah. finding somebody is and finding somebody else is and this government this is what the government shouldn't charge shouldn't be in charge of spending the people in spending money. the people in the government, if you're spending you're spending your own money, you're going get an ipad for much going to get an ipad for much less spending less money that you're spending somebody it's somebody else's money. it's like, go nuts. so like, hey, let's go nuts. so it's but, know, i it's nuts. but, you know, i agree with that in mp agree with nick that in mp salaries of traditionally been

pretty low because knew pretty low because they knew that could then top that up that they could then top that up with a whack of with with a big whack of expenses the whole expenses expenses then the whole expenses was you it a bit of was you know it left a bit of a yeah separatists owe it to a lot of people. think what they of people. i think what they should do now is vote a massive pay should do now is vote a massive pay increase, but they've got to should do now is vote a massive pay iticrease, but they've got to should do now is vote a massive pay it forward but they've got to should do now is vote a massive pay it forward to: they've got to should do now is vote a massive pay it forward to parliament. to put it forward to parliament. we've of time to vote we've got plenty of time to vote them they yeah. see them out. they get it. yeah. see what mean. if they, if they what i mean. if they, if they vote it in for the present parliament it's obviously ben isn't right. yeah you've got isn't it. right. yeah you've got to have like a decent pay. but anyway, still angela anyway, i still think angela rayner to honest the rayner to be honest it's the least my worries that least of my worries is that she's a fancy ipad. she's just got a fancy ipad. i just wonder what, actually, just wonder what, what actually, but the guardian now show achingly differing levels of wealth inequality wealth is stoking inequality and indeed system equity. yeah indeed that system equity. yeah this is news . indeed that system equity. yeah this is news. so the bank of mum and dad is britain's raising inequality according to the report by the institute of fiscal studies, we said that parents would overall in the uk provide parents would overall in the uk provid e £17 billion worth of provide £17 billion worth of gifts and informal loans . this gifts and informal loans. this yean gifts and informal loans. this year, most transfers come from the over 52 children in their

late twenties , early thirties. i late twenties, early thirties. i think i got a bill from my dad, but yeah. and the help amounts to average six and a half grand for the wealthiest compared to just 240 grand for the, for the poorest. and this money, you know, traditionally used to get into it. but i mean, there's virtually no other to get on virtually no other way to get on the housing ladder, is there, if you don't have some sort of wealthy benefactor, then obviously parents are the obviously your parents are the first of call. can't first port of call. i can't imagine else gets imagine anyone else gets a deposit. how can you save deposit. now, how can you save up? it be like 30 up? what would it be like 30 grand or something save. need grand or something to save. need to yeah, eventually. to save up? yeah, eventually. but i mean, this this but it's. i mean, i'm this this sentence too, because sentence is sorry, too, because while transfers are while these transfers are important assistance for some they spread. they are very unequally spread. it's to solve it's the kind it's how to solve life basically. i'm currently working jobs. you know working two jobs. you know well into working myself into my twenties, working myself into my twenties, working myself into trying get into the ground trying to get you get, mortgage or die you know get, a mortgage or die trying just some trying and not just like some posh show gets 100 to him but that's called life. yeah all the attempts it led attempts to fix it have led to mass yeah, well, mass murder. yeah, well, communism is like the 60d know, just of quest for cosmic just sort of quest for cosmic

justice. will let it justice. they will never let it go. got to the petrol go. we've got to the petrol station or base. well, station or or base. well, i think nick is in line to pick up a sugar off the shelf, healthy these now it's like in the cost of living crisis for us is struggling to compete with avocados and mortgages as well. yeah so patients in england not collecting nhs prescriptions of cost and it's pretty story they're saying look is anything can do it out that be saying no which is the bit of the pill i really which pills are really need which ones are just sort of which ones that keep me alive. i don't need any quality of life. so yeah, it's pretty horrible and. you go, well, it's just more broken britain except it's not england because not it's broken england because scotland, northern scotland, wales and northern ireland free. ireland get prescriptions free. well, this, this well, the thing with this, this doesn't be an either or doesn't have be an either or thing. to be thing. it doesn't need to be quite binary. mean, i get quite binary. i mean, i get i have a couple things now on have a couple of things now on prescription what was prescription and what was interested the interested to see was the regular. right. of them, regular. right. so some of them, you know, you can basically you paid you know, you can basically you pai you've paid £9.50 or if you've prescription to the prescription but it's to the doctor for doctor whether that's for a week's or month's worth week's worth or a month's worth or with you see what

or two months with you see what i mean. yeah, it's easy for them to sort of go yeah, your prescription will get you one ampoule pills, whatever. ampoule or 15 pills, whatever. it's mean. i guess it's going to mean. so i guess i'll do it again. and then, yeah, relationship yeah, got a good relationship with you kind of go with your doctor. you kind of go to occasionally for to his house occasionally for dinner of. then he dinner and, sort of. then he gives you the month's worth the week, so. yeah, exactly. that's the have butter the thing. you have to butter them nicely, know. but if them up nicely, you know. but if you get grumpy they take you get grumpy when they take your pressure, they, they your blood pressure, they, they have to. so have the opportunity to. so that's what you know that's part of what the you know that's part of what the you know that's it's not a simple you that's is it's not a simple you know you if you had to get know if you if you had to get a prescription every single week £9.50 you were on meagre £9.50 and you were on a meagre income, can imagine that income, i can imagine what that might something at might be, something you look at and think always be nice to the guy that actually prostate is my tip then you if you tip but but then if you if you pay tip but but then if you if you pay he'll go a bit deeper pay extra he'll go a bit deeper but yeah i think if you if your own benefits then you get free prescriptions. this prescriptions. yeah. this is just just something that, just it's just something that, you middle class get. you know, the middle class get. well, people well, it's obviously people get hammered the hammered with. but i mean, the cost of prescription sometimes things on prescription are things that on prescription are cheaper if they're cheaper to buy if they're they're patent they're out of patent or

whatever you buy them as as generics counter generics over the counter but for of you're for a lot of drugs you're a massive and people in the massive saving and people in the us would pay 1950 for a us would love to pay 1950 for a month's worth of you know whatever medication is it's absolutely true have no idea absolutely true we have no idea just how great prescription charges are, generally speaking. and is a guy and but of course, this is a guy speaking on behalf kind of speaking on behalf some kind of collective pharmacists isn't collective of pharmacists isn't a at the moment a huge everyone at the moment is making for you know making their pitch for you know come give more money come on give us a bit more money out the ever risk pot the out of the ever risk pot the express now and it sounds like the tories deadly secret weapon has struck again so nicholas sturgeon has been hit by a new nightmare as support for scottish independence and the snp plummet . so they did a poll snp plummet. so they did a poll on the as flipped . so i think on the as flipped. so i think last year there's a poll they said it was their own 55% in favour of independence . yeah no favour of independence. yeah no this new poll 56% in favour of remaining in the uk and only 44% in favour of independence , which in favour of independence, which is which is incredible. and the first minister, nicholas sturgeon, she's insisted that she'll use next year's uk

general election as a de facto scottish independence referendum . but this poll suggests there's very little for that. you know, she always says about general elections. so this if we win this, which they always do, because but if we because either way. but if we win this, then that means we should have a that means the people of scotland want to leave uk. it doesn't people have just said don't want leave. said they don't want to leave. but are worried. but people are really worried. you would just be the you think it would just be the trend stop. obviously, you know sturgeon gender sturgeon with her gender ideology completely ideology has completely alienated just alienated so women and just she's taken scotland down a really a dark path with with no you know with no rights for women but what's worrying people the most seems to be seems to be concerns over scotland's economy and in scotland and moral high mental then yeah, yeah. more than half think food prices would increase and the standard of living would would go would go down. people just want to feed their kids. yeah interesting. to look interesting. because to look like independence is actually a luxury belief than luxury belief rather than a fundamental one. i would love to

get your but we're get your opinion, but we're running we're going go running a bit. we're going to go to the second, third half, but come back in couple of come back in a couple of minutes. tax which minutes. we've got tax which could british how could affect british comedy. how the stand the woke the french can't stand the woke that's news train in spain that's good news train in spain and many more besides stay tuned in the couple of minutes .

welcome back to headliners the times now on a potential threat to british comedy or at least the kind of british comedy that has a budget for cafe latte rounds. yes the last thing british comedy needs. so this is about the tax overhaul. so the producers of the office are saying now can never get made now because as this thing where producers can claim tax beyond 1 million per hour, but then it's going up potentially to going to go up potentially to 1.5 million. and they're saying going to go up potentially to 1.5 nwould and they're saying going to go up potentially to 1.5 nwould make hey're saying going to go up potentially to 1.5 nwould make ity're saying going to go up potentially to 1.5 nwould make it almosting that would make it almost impossible like impossible to make shows like the office and that. so you

don't get tax relief until you've spent 1.5 million instead of a million or so. that's that apparently would make it very hard. i don't know all about the budget of the bbc. things behind that would make it very hard. they're it have they're calling it have a scorched earth effect on british comedy. and of course, the other thing would scorched thing that would have a scorched earth comedy the fact earth comedy is the fact that it's rubbish an now it's woken rubbish an awful now but that the people who but is quite that the people who complain about this mean this complain about this i mean this might reflect to times might just reflect to the times on their kind speed, but the on their kind of speed, but the assistant was a producer, assistant who was a producer, the think was the the office i don't think was the producer, let's put producer, but let's let's put that side. the office was that to one side. the office was 20 ago. now and i don't 20 years ago. now and i don't think he's, you know, he's he got credit that are going to impress people in the same same way in this story. he may have made shows, but has, made other shows, but if he has, you the time's up and felt you know, the time's up and felt that work. the other that it would work. the other one jemmy melville, one is jemmy melville, co—founder of hatrick. i mean, there famous there are two famous shows. where news for you where have i got news for you and whose line it anyway? and whose line is it anyway? it's like 30 years ago. they're basically getting people to complain protocols, complain, a change in protocols, but none of these people have

made anything worth, decades made anything worth, oh, decades . and the rich. the rich guys. why are we. this is tax payers money, not they're not being taxed. they're to tax dodge. why do we like lift taxes on cleaners or ? people who could do cleaners or? people who could do more money do with more with that money? why are we doing giving tax breaks to rich people? i think. what's it? dominic frisby occasionally contributed to this channel was made a very good show , edinburgh made a very good show, edinburgh show talking show about this, talking about the in the sort of free market in comedy and the bbc kind of comedy and how the bbc kind of finding itself in a very difficult situation now because people can content and put people can make content and put it youtube it straight onto youtube and what you. of course what have you. and of course they're looking for they're not looking for £1,000,000, per, £1,000,000, you know, per, they're just comedy out of , you they're just comedy out of, you know, in the sharing economy. but that we're paying for angela ipad i wouldn't mind paying another office if we could have another office if we could have a seminal work of genius like the office again. yeah that's something i would actually pay for, for any number for, but it won't for any number of reasons because over of reasons because comedy's over . well, it's moved on into different formats anyway. the

daily mail now this is sounds quite common. it does sound like the perfect and just to woke activists in my view. yes so a virginia lawyer demanded that the university richmond this is richmond and america pay his family $3.6 billion after the school removed the name of his ancestor from his law school because he was a slave owner. you might think this is one of these spurious legal attacks for a ridicule , this amount of a ridicule, this amount of money, but actually all he's doing is his own sister gave the give the school a lot of money in those days and those days so he's just asking that the school since if the guy moved his name from saying he's from it and saying he's a terrible person money terrible person pay the money back back the donation it back pay back the donation it was in 1890 adjusted for was made in 1890 adjusted for inflation plus interest. yes it's a very reasonable anchor sum, least . i mean, it's a very reasonable anchor sum, least. i mean, i'm it's a very reasonable anchor sum, least . i mean, i'm sure sum, at least. i mean, i'm sure they'd negotiate from that . but they'd negotiate from that. but this why the this is exactly why i say the rhodes. right. they still rhodes. right. and they still have rhodes little have cecil rhodes a little statue of building . statue outside of the building. what don't want him to what if you don't want him to have pay it all have in there, then pay it all back. thank there's no evidence of this guy owning slaves in the

first place. it seems very shaky. should and get shaky. they should go and get funding jerry's. it's funding from ben jerry's. it's the reparations. the new reparations. it's so good. other thing is, good. yeah. the other thing is, he's they didn't think he's a lawyer, they didn't think it a lawyer, it through going out a lawyer, did they he sued about 3.6 did they? he sued about 3.6 billion. i love this. if this works, will end works, wokeness will end immediately . other universities immediately. other universities like was good. they just like slavery was good. they just all absolutely brick in their opening in brighton. but woodside, liverpool make a think piece in the telegraph and some distressingly suggests french have got the right idea after all not us. yes. so the french apparently can't stand woke so it's an interesting piece in the telegraph from melissa i believe about asked like a french pr about she asked like a french pr manager. she knows various other people and they said didn't people and they said they didn't see having see a problem having relationships in office with relationships in the office with younger like younger and things like this. and just didn't and they just didn't have pronouns. basically and pronouns. they basically and someone says, well, they're someone here says, well, they're ten behind, they're still ten years behind, they're still making accents on making fun of foreign accents on television. like, that's why television. i'm like, that's why 40 years. yeah, they do 40 years. yeah, i bet they do that. was it? it was called that. what was it? it was called ella it? the one ella whelan, wasn't it? the one about french resistance. about the french resistance. you think yeah good think they have that? yeah good point. the british. yeah. this

is the strange thing about french, the les. it's this les of they sort of protest and we have person work. have a great person work. i think we have this little stuffiness. they have the more continental and have sort continental and they have sort of still and the of nationalism still and the resistance. have resistance. you know, they have some but they've some culture, but they've obviously a different language and some of the and a resistance to some of the excesses of this is it because they own racial they have their own racial tensions? course they have tensions? of course they have all the history with algeria and so on have the they call so on they have the they call the banlieue these sort of like like housing projects and like the housing projects and there they have all but they don't import america's don't try and import america's racial they don't try racial problems. they don't try and student and import america's student politics. they just have their own problems. and they also have their own shrugging . their own kind of shrugging. yeah, yeah. it's interesting. they are national you they are national pride. you know, you still get in france, it's seen as such a disgusting thing uk to any thing in the uk to have any pride . britain, even though it's pride. britain, even though it's obviously country, it's obviously the best country, it's disgusting. at a disgusting. we look at a rock music compared to rock music compared to french rock music. extraordinary how music. it's extraordinary how they managed to sustain pride but they do they have an extraordinary amount of confidence culture. confidence in their culture. that's to me. so you that's confusing to me. so you have all these like lefty

postmodern french thinkers, don't export to don't they also, they export to america none of them give a about the michel go. anyway, near the express now appropriate. it's a railway story in the express and it sounds like spain not being train shamed. yeah see here, it's an unspeakable border . so it's an unspeakable border. so spanish taxpayer . we'll see. spanish taxpayer. we'll see. a long time needed railway project delayed after . it was discovered delayed after. it was discovered that new trains were designed be too big to go through . some of too big to go through. some of the country's train tunnels and it's going to cost spai n £230 it's going to cost spain £230 million. i mean, it's spain run by the snp. this is ridiculous . by the snp. this is ridiculous. basically in june 2020, this spanish giant renzi commissioned 31 trains with them engines that have been discovered . they just have been discovered. they just don't fit through. the holes won't go through the holes. i do remember. i haven't much rail travel in spain , but i did see travel in spain, but i did see a friend off once and i couldn't believe the size of the train when it pulled in they have they knew there were just like these american deckers american ones double deckers really houses really really wide like houses you knew going you know like we knew going

along motorway sometimes you along the motorway sometimes you see up ahead. yeah so see wide load up ahead. yeah so they obviously have some sort of cultural tradition that. anyway, i meant killed i thought you meant you killed it said he's your it when he said he's your friend. him to make friend. i'll see him to make sure this is a feel good story. i mean, you think that england and just we're and britain, we're just we're the ones in trouble. read the only ones in trouble. i read a story. they? for% 6erman a story. do they? for% of german trains are amazing. it's not just whole of west just us. the whole of the west is collapsing. yeah. so it's one of feel good. you know of those feel good. you know what the trains what happens when the trains alight 6ermany? that's the alight in germany? that's the daily have of a poorly daily mail have news of a poorly faked off movie at the faked snow off movie at the super brewing super bowl and feud brewing between rival self—driving software barons. yes more transport news . so the tesla and transport news. so the tesla and ireland didn't wait to see so musk's nemesis which dan o'dowd has made this advert basically claiming tesla's are awful and i think self—driving , i think we think self—driving, i think we can see a video of it. yeah, believe we're going to video or me but you can't keep talking hello the full self—driving will run a child a school run a child in a school crosswalk . oh into oncoming hit crosswalk. oh into oncoming hit a baby in a stroller go straight

past stop school buses ignore do not enter and even drive on the wrong side of the road . tesla's wrong side of the road. tesla's full self—driving is endangering the public with deceptive marketing and woefully inept engineering . 90% agree that this engineering. 90% agree that this should be banned in immediately. why does mits allow tesla full self—driving , not his head clean self—driving, not his head clean off ? i mean, self—driving, not his head clean off? i mean, that self—driving, not his head clean off ? i mean, that last self—driving, not his head clean off? i mean, that last dummy was asking for speed, right? instead of nevsky across the road like that. of nevsky across the road like that . but of nevsky across the road like that. but just for more of nevsky across the road like that . but just for more context, that. but just for more context, this is dan o'dowd he's got a bee in his bonnet about elon musk. he's been doing this for a while. and back in august, musk sent a cease and desist letter. he did not desist at the super bowl. he did. he didn't see so desist if anything stepped up a notch. and musk replied emojis at one point, calling him bat something crazy. but he because he said that the musk just these will mow down kids will just mow down kids indiscriminately, could indiscriminately, musk could say, we some problems, say, no, no, we some problems, but we don't do that. yeah, but we don't do that. but yeah, i guess only guy is going to i guess the only guy is going to do elon musk is someone

do this to elon musk is someone incredibly rich, is well incredibly rich, which is well with that was with rival software. that was what thinking was. just what i was thinking was. he just some like some leftie some guys he like some leftie doesn't think children should be killed. but he wants people to killed. but he wants people to kill his guns mean kill them with his guns mean i think there's some issues with this stuff. i think people become too complacent. forget how to who to trade because my father in law he's got a car that does all the know keeps you in your lane and i like it. yeah, yeah. and then he had to drive my mother in law's car. it was, it couldn't, it could hardly do it. yeah. it's a really it is my car. i didn't realise i bought one like i bought a second. i'm and it has that if you get into it will automatically start slowing down andifs automatically start slowing down and it's kind annoying, and it's kind of annoying, you want come on, we want to overrule it. come on, we can get through and anyway, listen, that's part three down. stay about stoned stay tuned. we talk about stoned dogs director taking dogs a better director taking revenge over a negative review and your personality is not, in fact , in stone. and your personality is not, in fact, in stone. i'll see you in a couple of minutes .

and welcome back to the part of headliners leo. kick us off, please, with the telegraph. this is a well, initially sounds like fun, but maybe dogs don't actually enjoy being stoned. it's hard to tell, isn't it? did you do any studies when you were student? did you put a crash helmet over a didn't ever have a dog. i was student. i do dog. when i was student. i do think a shame because think it's a shame because student would all be student households would all be improved by. a dog. yeah, but very can very few of them are. can organise themselves dog . organise themselves to the dog. want to survive. one last time we a cat couple of times. we had a cat a couple of times. right? there's been huge right? well, there's been a huge rise dogs after new rise in student dogs after new york cannabis so york legalised cannabis so they're eating cannabis that's discarded on streets of new discarded on the streets of new according and aryans. according to veteran and aryans. so the dogs are displaying an array symptoms from loss of balance to difficulty walking nausea and in some cases listening . pink floyd and listening. pink floyd and believe in conspiracy theories. they often vomit and drool, and

the pupils will be dilated. and they're getting this for free. this is terrible we had cannabis is no legal in 21 states so my big question is how can you tell if a dog is stoned? it's hunger, lethargy , staring into the lethargy, staring into the middle distance for reason. my, my, my mother has a dog which is getting quite old now, convinced it's got dementia and like it was always a bit mental. this so clearly i just don't know what's light of it's left on the stove you know these are kind of side effects. we don't think of it. we this and we make cannabis legal which we should never do. and dogs are suffering. and suddenly dogs are suffering. see, thing dogs, see, the thing about the dogs, they yeah i feel sorry for they are. yeah i feel sorry for they are. yeah i feel sorry for the it's interesting. the dog. and it's interesting. you say veterinarians, of you had to say veterinarians, of course, talk about course, because you talk about vets american some vets in american made some instances over vietnam and in fact they smoked lot of vietnamese. it it was linked but i mean i'm more worried about children because making children because they're making cannabis gummies cannabis into, you know, gummies and kinds of things that are basically sweets and as we know, is much, more powerful than is much, much more powerful than it in not that i it was in our day. not that i ever but when you used to

forties they're not only that they're sex, but they're not to have sex, but they're not to have sex, but they're worn by women they're being worn down by women and to let people and don't want to let people people genuinely try present people do genuinely try present their best version themselves and they're between 17 and 25. they're they're hoping to date their trying to be empowered entirely by testosterone. yeah and they're just being driven to me . they've learned various kind me. they've learned various kind of mode which they think will, you know , improve their chances you know, improve their chances by the time 40. they're done with all that. they can't be bothered anymore . firstly, it bothered anymore. firstly, it comes from mumsnet, so obviously, but yeah, there's a real self—pitying line here . the real self—pitying line here. the woman at mit, she's in it for eight and then said, is there something wrong with. i don't seem to be seeing men in the same way anymore. it's like yes like not seeing you in like you say not seeing you in the same way you're. not 25. it's called dicaprio's everyone knows the theory of knows or the theory sort of thing. helpful if thing. and this is helpful if i might get taken off off air entirely. so is the thing entirely. so this is the thing i can hope. the reality is i think about attraction to women in terms of sexual attraction. it is about fertility. is very much about fertility. there woman can there is a point at a woman can be objectively still beautiful.
