have noticed gentlemen one story predominated. let's a look at the daily mail's front for their take on it. yes they've got has really done the impossible and they're saying so many thought it couldn't be done. but as pm hails historic goals to deal with the eu, the threat of tory rebellion appears to melt away. so mail is very bullish on so the mail is very bullish on this the of this they think the threat of the rebellion it really the rebellion is gone. it really smashed. of course they don't mention the dup now. they mention the dup now. they mention it within the piece. that's big question. what are the going to of it? the dup going to make of it? because they did feel they were left of negotiation. and left out of the negotiation. and from gather and just the from what i gather and just the viewer, if don't all viewer, if you don't know all the this, basically the details of this, basically there main there are three main areas. there's the free trade where there's the free of trade where they're to have these they're going to have these green lanes for that, the green lanes for that, for the products sold products will be sold domestically in northern ireland and for the ones that we and lanes for the ones that we moved republic of ireland. moved to on republic of ireland. yeah, going data yeah, there's going to be data sharing uk eu to sharing between uk and eu to stop there's a single stop smuggling. there's a single market northern market issue where the northern line the regulations, line under the eu regulations, state duty and vat, state aid, alcohol duty and vat, the that. then the deal fixes that. and then there's the issue. the fact they'll be under the jurisdiction of the ec] which is

sort controversial because, sort of controversial because, you the eu says if you you know the eu says well if you part have to be part the market you have to be part the market you have to be part the market you have to be part the ec]. so there was part of the ec]. so there was talk of them having a sort of norway. this a sort of norway. this gives a sort of norway. this gives a sort of norway deal we've norway style deal we've heard about for that for about norway's now for that for ireland. so anyway we don't want to all to get complicated. we all to become the north become experts on the north across quite well those are the basics but problem is what basics but the problem is what are do think the do you are the do you think the do you think that's the big question we i is we still we still on i saw is we still we still on what are their sentiments likely to you think. well, they've to fade you think. well, they've been sceptical. they've been very sceptical. they've been very sceptical. they've been need we've not been been saying need we've not been involved in negotiation process soon gone soon it seems to have gone for like good deal then like get this good deal then we'll show it to them, they'll just be happy because we'll be so all that so good. we're all that involved. the criticism was why didn't least tell them, didn't he at least tell them, even to be even though they have to be quite why didn't quite negotiations, why didn't you give them and indication of what going to be. yeah what it was going to be. yeah and boris too is keeping his powder well, powder dry? francis well, absolute. dup have absolute. and the dup have actually were quite on actually said they were quite on the the start of the standing at the start of negotiations. said it will take as as takes. the most as long as it takes. the most important thing is that we get a good deal and a good deal for

northern ireland. and the worry is dup don't the is that if the dup don't the deal of argument deal if not inside of argument isn't on board could very well scupper the deal. in the scupper the deal. and in the worst scenario, we could worst case scenario, we could see between , catholics see tensions between, catholics and being inflamed and protestants being inflamed again, particularly when it comes to the border. i know a lot of people remember in wales on twitter where people were saying had been saying that there had been a cavalier amongst the westminster elite towards brexit which actually that wasn't true because westminster didn't want it to happen. the brexit vote had, you know , thrown the peace had, you know, thrown the peace process under the bus in order to separate from in reality, it's actually, i know there's been a flare recently, but there's been an extraordinarily there's been an extraordinarily the extraordinary degree of and patience, really, i think, in terms of sectarian violence over the last six years. well, i think what both sides realise that this needs to be done properly . and it's really, properly. and it's really, really that they get it right because if they don't get it right, then what is to happen is that this is going to cause a rupture within relations that is

going to cause flare ups and tensions. so it's important for every that you know, that every side that you know, that they're but they content they're happy, but they content with hope that the dup don't with the hope that the dup don't decide , put a spanner in the decide, put a spanner in the works just principle. we have the daily star francis with an important story about . mythical important story about. mythical mexican beings . well, you always mexican beings. well, you always give me the intellectual give me the more intellectual one, so i'm very happy about that. but mexico's president and the day manuel lopez obrador stops to begin to exert control, venezuelan . exactly. and venezuelan. exactly. and i because i know the language anyway, he a photo that he says shows alex a forest creature which is like an elf or a leprechaun and he said the words everything is mystical. so there we go. that's yes, exactly . i we go. that's yes, exactly. i look. so he's got an x at the end. bit like latinx. yes. when he says everything is mystical, not everything like the northern ireland isn't mystical ireland protocol isn't mystical is when says everything to is when he says everything to go. yeah. how many people go. yeah yeah. how many people genuinely understand the northern ireland protocol? it's just me, it's expression. if of myth and allegory. as you may

know, it doesn't really exist. well, did he mean, you well, what did he mean, do you think? to be honest with me, no one really what he made one really knows what he made up. have that he up. it could have been that he genuinely meant this . this genuinely meant this. this creature alive. turn creature was alive. turn punitively. he might have been the only, you know, on the open source, the on the old tequila had had a few swigs and then posted because we know some some tequila hallucinogenic properties seen in alex but there is i mean with the camera itself has taken the picture of this. alex yeah, i've been feeling the effects peyote or various muscles . i'll think various muscles. i'll think that's the one would say that's the one isn't it. they get going, they of into the woods and everyone paints himself and they all vomit. you know there's a of powerful there is an a lot of powerful there is an actual of the alex actual photograph of the alex who hiding in tree. to me who is hiding in a tree. to me it more like a grimm, not it looks more like a grimm, not a gremlin, a sort of like a cow, like a, i don't know, like something almost like a like a little tiny saint or something. i think it's someone waiting to try and cross over the us border

. i think it's this tree. i don't. yeah, i to tell you the fun out of it, but it looks possible too. incidentally, there's another story on the page. it says covid is off the hook and what it actually looks like when you look at it is exactly the same picture. but upside may be has this alex upside they may be has this alex been tested for covid? that's the question. then finally, because most of papers have covered the same northern ireland protocol story, the daily has veered off into the ditch with a really quite honest sorcery, meaning this story about the final resting place of the ashes of the yorkshire ripper. yeah. i want to analyse it evil's end so soot ashes have beenin it evil's end so soot ashes have been in on site in cumbria obviously my home county and i don't recall being asked if this was okay. there was no meeting of the sort of local, you know , of the sort of local, you know, my mom was like president the local y. i don't think she was consulted on this. do we really want these ashes in cumbria? apparently that's where they are. his niece.

are. according to his niece. i think the ashes don't. i mean, this ground. i know this is private ground. i know arsenal ground arsenal football ground and so on. get requests and on. get requests thousands and they do to knock them back they do have to knock them back because otherwise it'll be played on rubble. but they have hard just on the set spot hard core just on the set spot but i think the national parks are allowed to go there and are allowed to just go there and to people ever you want in there only i would like to have been consulted. simon do you do you think like evil? great think of it as like evil? great yeah. are evil yeah. suppose they are evil ashes. if there's such a thing . ashes. if there's such a thing. yeah.i ashes. if there's such a thing. yeah. i don't know. i do believe it. but having said that, it is a bit of a shame to think that, you know, you wander out there and then you go, oh, is that bloke who killed all those prostitutes hammer? prostitutes with a hammer? well, i i wearing i don't live. i live wearing a cross. but you what? there's a lot of ladies like watching that sort content. netflix sort of content. netflix similarly back to. i've similarly coming back to. i've been a date. walked past been on a date. we walked past dennis house and dennis nilsson's house and that's a point of interest for many you that's many women. do you think that's not good idea . yeah, yeah. not a good idea. yeah, yeah. well saw the list of the best dates recently we going to the cinema and the where is nilsson's house my tour of north

london serial killer yeah . a london serial killer yeah. a quick mention for betty boothroyd has died at the age of 93. a good innings. i don't know how we feel about it. obviously, she was a trailblazer for women's elevation to senior office in the house but she was also very pro . what do you also very pro. what do you think? well i think, you know, a lot politicians, let's be honest, are very pro eu. yes. you know , was she she was a real you know, was she she was a real trailblazer, like you said. she somebody who really made her mark when we when people talked about the speaker, i think she served from 92 to 2000. yeah. people actually imagined betty boothroyd they didn't think of a man she was iconic figure within parliament and not like the queen wasn't she . yes. she was queen wasn't she. yes. she was there like oh, she was obviously political, but she made it feel more like it was an emblematic stage i wasn't following as close to. but as i recall, she was far less overtly partial than bercow. yes, yes, absolutely. yeah. she certainly towered above him in all regards . probably does, despite .

. probably still does, despite. so there we have it . unless you so there we have it. unless you want to talk about £10 of it. so i'm i think we've done the front pages. that's those done. join us the break for online radicalisation teenage brides and drunk frenchmen and. a few stories as well. we'll see you in a minutes .

welcome back to headline is with me evans and my panel of comedians . i don't know if two comedians. i don't know if two people is a panel this is what needs to be three really. but anyway they can only be described as mixed ability. francis foster and, nick dixon. and they're just during the break whether fascism was really right wing it isn't so a story now about one of their own and rees—mogg has challenged the king's decision fortunately gb news stuff the monarchy. francis

yes , indeed. so this is in the yes, indeed. so this is in the eye and the tensions of across decision for king to me von dylan as northern ireland do you see. so he met with the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen. yeah just 90 minutes of the rishi agreed a brexit and a lot of people are quite upset about and in my opinion quite rightly so , because the monarchy rightly so, because the monarchy should always be apolitical and king charles going out to meet von dylan. he's become a political figure and the reality the re the reason why queen elizabeth ii was so beloved in this country is because she away from politics. yes you didn't know what her political opinions were, unifying were, therefore unifying country. i think charles is in a bit dodgy ground here. you might be projecting a little bit of meaning into the meetings. he didn't come out and go. i think it's terrific day. unless it's a terrific day. unless the dup don't snap this out. they're mugs, is. i mean, would mugs, that is. i mean, would have our knowledge. have been not to our knowledge. the is whose fault. is it

the thing is whose fault. is it because vichy basically because vichy is basically saying the king to saying it's down to the king to decide has suggested decide? the palace has suggested it government advice, so it was on government advice, so they're passing buck ? they're both passing the buck? yes. ideally, he shouldn't be doing of things. doing these kind of things. i agree. it's funny i mean, agree. it's so funny i mean, chris chris brian has chris even chris brian has condemned, you know, stopped clocking is right. yes chris. brian is right. yes i love the probably yeah rees—mogg's quote is brilliant. he said it was constitutionally unwise to involve the king in a matter of immediate political controversy, always phrased so, so perfectly, elegant, so perfectly, so elegant, constitutionally . i agree with constitutionally. i agree with that. anything that i is that. and anything that i is people say, well, he the on the land like he has to me you know an array world leaders an array of world leaders necessarily mean my necessarily mean i mean my argument is well my idea is she really like a proper leaders? i don't really recognise as well. so you would have enough you know i him. no, you have to know i hate him. no, you have to recognise you do have to recognise that you do have to work leader. well only in work as a leader. well only in because i mean, otherwise the isn't doesn't matter because isn't it doesn't matter because if a leader then it's if she's not a leader then it's fine. a good point is fine. but it a good point is that she person with that she was the person with whom soon that was negotiating. yeah in that regard was

yeah in that regard she was clearly an executive authority. yeah. i'm i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto. i'm i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me i'm i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me it's m i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me it's not i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me it's not on i'm saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me it's not on the| saying clearly an executive authority. yeto me it's not on the level1g is to me it's not on the level of you meet someone like of if you meet someone like biden, of course you to biden, of course you have to meet president. united meet the president. united states. he probably didn't, in my have meet. my opinion, have to meet. i mean, it would be ideal if he was to just meet the sort of nelson mandela of his day, wouldn't it, you know, the sort of whoever those are any of whoever those are at any given moment, those who are sort of beyond the of above and beyond above the partisan. reality is partisan. but the reality is the, spent of, the, charles has spent most of, you a visible career, you know, a long visible career, unlike a in a row you know, unlike in a in a row you know, in a kind of room demonstrating , a good deal more political partisan on everything from the environment to architecture. i mean this is what we've been waiting for, isn't it, to see whether he's going to start getting involved. and i think he will getting involved will start getting involved because expressed because he's always expressed political, always stepped political, he's always stepped into the fray. so if he's been doing that throughout his entire aduu doing that throughout his entire adult life, why he going to adult life, why is he going to stop that. king now stop now that. king he's now that's point. i just it's that's the point. i just it's good to be. king so here in hell and do have a problem with

and do we have a problem with onune and do we have a problem with online radicalisation? and that depends on your i suppose. depends on your blog i suppose. who that ? yeah, this is who wrote that? yeah, this is priti patel calls for shake of uk counter—terror laws . so we uk counter—terror laws. so we obviously had the shawcross review basically review into which basically found they weren't being found that they weren't being strict enough on islamic terrorism, they were calling terrorism, but they were calling far—right terrorism, including rees—mogg and the works of william . so completely absurd , william. so completely absurd, who owned a copy of george orwell's 1984. someone wrote to say you disgusting nonsense . and say you disgusting nonsense. and so she's basically obviously coming off the back of and coming off the back of that and she's saying we need do she's saying that we need to do more she's sort of more and. she's she's sort of saying that the definition terrorism is wrong. we to we need to really clamp down on what and figure it what it and figure out is it it's basically different ways of saying doing about saying what we doing about terrorism but terrorism and absolute mess but particular she did draw attention i interested to attention i was interested to sort culture in schools. yeah sort of culture in schools. yeah yeah. and clearly she meant the koran thing i would suggest the other day where in the koran was then said for almost suspended, she said deeply she said she was deeply concerned and concerned about certain and cultural values dominant within schools and then elsewhere. she

basically just tries to sort of talk multiculturalism, of course, as wage says, do think we wider problems around we have wider problems around integration alarmed . integration? i'm quite alarmed. integration has become a dirty word. it's deeply, deeply concerning. i think it's a very precarious situation. so yeah, yeah, no, her yeah, she's to say no, her language is pretty strong, wasn't it, to the is i think we can all agree priti patel was a useless home secretary she was she was useless. she didn't sort out things like illegal immigration she didn't sort the boats coming over she talked a good game ultimately achieved nothing and here she is popping up it's like a football manager who's been the manager of a team they've been rubbish they've been fired and all of a sudden they go well here's my opinion. who cares what your opinion is. yeah, sort of. ralph well, this is, this is what all politicians do now. they have no control over know. so over anything, you know. so suella patel, suella braverman, fitz, patel, whoever is politicians, foreign policy, they'll pop, they, policy, they'll pop, but they, they their they don't control their own department they're department because they're controlled army. she controlled by the army. she totally portfolio totally without portfolio at the moment. no

moment. she has no response no minister to the government. no, i she's in the i don't think she's in the government oh, okay. i was government none. oh, okay. i was under the impression still had some job. i mean, i understand what and what you're saying and certainly, know, it's been certainly, you know, it's been a disappointing few years for tories of controlling tories in terms of controlling immigration, in terms tories in terms of controlling imminimising in terms tories in terms of controlling imminimising. in terms tories in terms of controlling imminimising . the in terms tories in terms of controlling imminimising . the threat,erms tories in terms of controlling imminimising . the threat, the of minimising. the threat, the growing threat comes from islamic terrorism itself . but i islamic terrorism itself. but i don't think i would necessarily want to not hear from former secretaries just because they hadnt secretaries just because they hadn't previously managed to achieve their aims in a way that's point at which they get quite interesting when they can come say , reason we come out and say, reason we couldn't anything is because couldn't do anything is because the civil service is this sort of, you know, amorphous blob that just absorbs any attempt make to change it necessarily . make to change it necessarily. but the problem is with that is then go, well, all you're then you go, well, all you're doing then is giving yourself an excuse. mean , thatcher, she excuse. i mean, thatcher, she into this country when we were known as the sick man of europe, they could have been quite a million reasons for her to go. i make it work because of x, y and. but she didn't do that . we and. but she didn't do that. we need politicians of that calibre

on both left and right to and me priti patel isn't it. and not particularly interested in what she has to and i see some as the only time they get to tell the truth the soviet javid truth like when the soviet javid just he's standing in just said he's not standing in the doesn't work. yeah she the nhs doesn't work. yeah she 9°, the nhs doesn't work. yeah she go, the guardian next the go, yeah the guardian next the story about shamima begum and you say you want you can say what you want shamima onlyfans is every shamima better onlyfans is every penny fake fagan's bake off that's what i want to see, isn't it? come on, then you go potential. is there hope for edging out the camera ? hey, you edging out the camera? hey, you go you can cancel yourself my. no. so is this a terrorism adviser ? jonathan who? kings adviser? jonathan who? kings council said that shamima begum should be allowed back into the uk ? he's a top government uk? he's a top government terrorism adviser . and he. he's terrorism adviser. and he. he's making the point which . i agree making the point which. i agree with she needs to be brought back into this country and then she needs to face charges and she needs to face charges and she needs to face charges and she needs to face justice. yes. the firing squad justice for her

for crimes and anything i do. i mean, i kind of agree you although my main feeling is i cannot believe we are still wasting much time and effort talking about her at all. mean the number of pieces slow news day simon when i got i'm day simon yeah when i got i'm going to disagree with francis but i first want to say yeah the discourse around some would discourse around some i would beg i mean beg him is ridiculous. i mean yeah. all these liberal commentators i saw so that i name they appear on name them because they appear on this but they is this channel, but they is described as flawed described her as flawed and flawed. raab is flawed. i mean, dominic raab is flawed. i mean, dominic raab is flawed because he allegedly threw a tomato when he was first. know, flawed first. you know, that's flawed so beg was evil things so i beg was did evil things that evil things that she showed no evil things at a pretty early age and i know it of 5050. one of it is kind of 5050. i'm one of those who says, yes, those people who says, yes, shamima begum should be allowed to mistakes. 15 and no to make mistakes. and 15 and no we shouldn't to greta we shouldn't be. to greta thunberg, same , you thunberg, who is the same, you know, exactly the same . but know, for exactly the same. but i think you can i don't i don't think you can i don't think you can hold somebody responsible for the rest of their life for making mistake if she's committed crime, which on statute says you can't, you'll no longer a citizen. but that

isn't the case. well my thoughts on that thing is people say, on that one thing is people say, oh, racist, but revoked oh, it's racist, but we revoked jack. is citizenship. so jack. let's is citizenship. so there is precedent. the other is so it's not racist . the other so it's not racist. the other thing is this. this. yeah hitchens even we need to we hitchens even said we need to we need to, you know, bring her into and so did into the country and try. so did lord i understand lord sumption. so i understand my on that, although and my thought on that, although and rashly that should happen in a functioning but we functioning system. but what we have a country where everything so broken , people are almost so broken, people are almost just like one just glad that like one non—liberal thing has happened . non—liberal thing has happened. they almost you understand they almost like, you understand . and genuinely, i mean . and i also genuinely, i mean to reverse everything said in to, reverse everything i said in the i the introduction. i have a terrible that she will end terrible fear that she will end up back here and she will get her own series on, channel 4. that's it. bbc doll's house. yes. mean, anyway, the yes. i mean, anyway, onto the daily now the legal age daily mirror now the legal age for has been raised to for marriage has been raised to 18. this is seems quite 18. this is seems to be quite significant actually, but significant news, actually, but perhaps point of view, perhaps from your point of view, especially that . especially, what does that. probably libellous he doesn't work for the bbc simon on yeah that's shocking for the for the

time he has made that up no there's like secret story about baseless to avoid predators i'm not suggesting genuinely are but this is the idea is to avoid in court so it's a void it's not 16 year olds marrying each other. now this is about the age of consent for marriage. it was you can married at 16 or 17 with parents consent. now it's just going to 18 . it's shocking going to be 18. it's shocking that need this law but apparently we now do in our country so and it's a good country so and so it's a good law. i mean the funny thing is people aren't even rational till they're 25. their brains also develop. so we should be up to 25. but is this is this been put in place to protect girls from specific cultures where the parents might be attempting to impose an arranged marriage on them because traditionally the age of consent the age of marriage was the point at which the children could defy their parents. but this sounds as if it's other way around. this is like law , the parents like the law, the parents forcing , the child to get forcing, the child to get married. one imagines that is why it's come in, which is

pretty shocking in itself, isn't why it's come in, which is prein shocking in itself, isn't why it's come in, which is prein showeek in itself, isn't why it's come in, which is prein showeek whenzlf, isn't why it's come in, which is prein showeek when we've 't why it's come in, which is prein showeek when we've seen it? in the week when we've seen blasphemy reintroduced blasphemy laws reintroduced in schools. you want to schools. so what do you want to say? well, just going to say? well, i was just going to say? well, i was just going to say this actually looks like a very law. and i think the thing that's most interesting that's actually most interesting about this story is the british people have to talk about it. yeah. and the reasons it was brought in and like a lot of the things that happen in this country, we do not feel able to talk comfortably . these issues, talk comfortably. these issues, particularly if we've culture's a different from our own my friend sam ashworth he's who currently appears on this put out a tweet today to the effect that he said people just don't how to talk about this stuff without sounding prejudice and they end up saying it's they end up always saying it's an for the for the for an open goal for the for the for the far right. this just creates talking far right talking point for the far right because people are afraid of themselves far saying themselves far right for saying no this is wrong. you shouldn't we shouldn't we shouldn't be tolerating cultures to do this kind of thing. you know well, some people sound and look more far right out of this. you know,

i if it me, you know it was i if it was me, you know it was just i think ease might sleep fine anyway that's it for part two. join us after the for. break children's books, cute squirrels and hardcore. we'll see you in a couple of minutes .

welcome back to headline as . we welcome back to headline as. we get straight back into it with tuesday's guardian and the zoom and violence to women, of course not just the kind that women like it , turns out, but nick like it, turns out, but nick then also mp cracked down to tackle violence against women . tackle violence against women. and the claim is that watching will lead to actual violence. i'm never certain because it's in the garden . but it maybe it in the garden. but it maybe it does.i in the garden. but it maybe it does. i don't know . they claim does. i don't know. they claim there's evidence for it, but i don't really it in the don't really see it in the article. but it's yeah, it's always, isn't it? always, always tricky, isn't it? obviously involving obviously anything involving

food disgusting. food is absolutely disgusting. and those people should be punished way we can. punished in whatever way we can. but. this point? should but. but is this point? should be banned or, you as be banned or, you know, as a libertarian type person, you think, it's ridiculous to think, oh, it's ridiculous to try for the try and control, but for the good society , obviously good of society, obviously not a good of society, obviously not a good h? good of society, obviously not a good it? and men to good thing, is it? and men to their shame, it said pornhub was by 50 uk adults in just by 50 million uk adults in just september. 50% of men, 16% women. so this throws some interesting stats. i mean, i know and i don't want to expose too much sort of awareness of what's been going on. i do know for a fact that pornhub have sort of cleaned up their act quite bit and they it is still quite a bit and they it is still hardcore by any standards, but it have taken it has they have taken some fairly serious measures , i fairly serious measures, i believe, last few years believe, over the last few years to limit the amount of content that remotely looks like it's happening. for instance, you don't i mean like it like there's a you know what i mean? like candid camera type stuff or whatever it feels very much small time now , but it's still small time now, but it's still way off from . i mean, you know, way off from. i mean, you know, it's a thousand old tatty doggy stand up comedy about in my day

used to come in a carrier bag. you know , a ditch, you know, and you know, a ditch, you know, and you get to peel pages apart, you know , and used to, like, write know, and used to, like, write like . i used know, and used to, like, write like. i used to know, and used to, like, write like . i used to write for myself like. i used to write for myself as . well, yeah, it's pretty as. well, yeah, it's pretty full. well, it was letters. it wasn't sort of, you know, i wasn't sort of, you know, i wasn't like heavily involved the industry when you the to 50 shades of grey i guess i was and if i'd seen which way the wind was blowing i could have felt it was blowing i could have felt it was on the way out but but yeah i mean so yeah like kids young people can see extraordinarily graphic acts now an age where perhaps you know it but it's perhaps you know it be but it's also responsibility when it also the responsibility when it to giving children a smartphone so reality no child so. the reality is no child under the age of 16 should have a smartphone. there is no need for shouldn't . on for them. they shouldn't. on social media. i don't think wives should have them either. no. agree you it no. completely agree you it shouldn't just to the servants one year. exactly would it like simon i've always like to. the only other concern is they're going to use it to beef up the

onune going to use it to beef up the online bill. the online safety bill terrifies me because says, is it the online censorship bill saying i'm going to far too much involvement. it's all very questionable. not questionable. so obviously, not a great thing for society, but also clamping down on the internet too much. also not good. i mean, it's a good. it is. i mean, it's a great thing for an individual to restrict their access to it if they can. and do believe that. they can. and i do believe that. but yeah, you're absolutely right. an right. it's to be an extraordinarily blunt instrument used of few used to redress of a few problematic the telegraph problematic cases. the telegraph next and there's a nasty stereotype that fringe politicians are all and sleaze bags fortunately we have a story here confirms that nasty trope let's have a look. yes indeed a fringe mp sprays alcohol ban off the heavy boozing disrupt parliamentary sessions . so we parliamentary sessions. so we all know the french don't like working and it turns out that they get into parliament they like nothing better. the parliamentarians and having a few beers or a few cognacs and then actually just indulging in a bit of fisticuffs . and what a bit of fisticuffs. and what happened they were having a

debate pension reforms. yeah and you know these things get pretty feisty . you know any red blooded feisty. you know any red blooded frenchman thinking about pension reforms ? exactly. just try and reforms? exactly. just try and stop them. simon hey. yeah. and descended into a brawl and this isn't only an isolated incident right so this has been quite a few times in the french parliament. and if anything, it makes politics so more exciting. so i don't know what the problem is you've got to be careful of any with these things. it all sounds quite fun and games. we know was a punch up in the know there was a punch up in the house commons that basically house of commons that basically changed the history changed the course of history don't was his name was don't we? what was his name was eric black, remember? what was don't we? what was his name was eri

they're to this. so they're trying to ban this. so very stop french people very hard to stop french people drinking what i drinking at any time. what i like is that they blame night work. well, only work. they say, well, the only problem is work. what are we supposed at night, supposed to do? i work at night, three nights a week, two more nights, my job. and that's nights, my other job. and that's why a heroin addict. of why i'm a heroin addict. of course user course it's escalating user extraordinarily severe about that of thing as well, that sort of thing as well, aren't they? i know that they, you any attempt to just you know the any attempt to just transfer to the and transfer whisky to the mug and he to out the hard. he tried to find out the hard. cameras . yeah but cameras everywhere. yeah but there was a little brief period simon where were off because simon where you were off because of incident when was the of the incident when it was the wild west , you know. well, wild west, you know. well, things we know we things settled down. we know we are now the guardian. now parents are spending less books for children. thank for their children. thank heavens for drag queens, i guess . yeah. cost of living, crisis in five parents spend less on books. their children. it's just another . books. their children. it's just another. this is the thing it's another. this is the thing it's a vicious cycle that a vicious cycle and that we're into because we have into now because now we have cost living. now you can't cost of living. now you can't afford books for your kids. they're going worse education then worse. and then they do worse. life and lockdowns part lockdowns are another part of that. yeah, a terrible that. and yeah, it's a terrible thing. i mean, people don't care

about about this about this i'll think about this but 20% of parents carers but 20% of parents and carers say spending on books say they're spending on books for children and for their children and this increase 36% for those who increase of 36% for those who are struggling financially, 10% to even to to stress, to even read, to child. and the only good news is that sensitivity readers have written books yeah. so written books anyway. yeah. so kids probably shouldn't read the new my wife an extraordinary amount on books when our kids were and my daughter read were young and my daughter read them avidly my son them all avidly and my son i still don't think has finished the book and he's not been required to specifically school. it not you can it doesn't i'm not sure you can force it that's going force it down. that's going mean i there's kind of sense i think there's a kind of sense if you if you furnish the if you if you if you furnish the book with the house books, then the child grows up to . be this the child grows up to. be this incredible, actually, incredible, you know, actually, children they're children if they're into reading, they'll them out . reading, they'll root them out. they'll somewhere, they'll find them somewhere, they'll exchange them at school like stamps. if like football stamps. and if they're it doesn't they're not into, it it doesn't make sense. yeah, make any sense. yeah, i completely with you. and think completely with you. and i think for me this just shows the importance of library services. yeah. there a of a few yeah. there was a spate of a few years back where a lot of libraries were being closed down. saying, what's down. people were saying, what's the have the point in libraries? we have

the point in libraries? we have the we need books. but the internet. we need books. but actually a children's actually for a children's education, their reading, education, for their reading, comprehend and for their focus, where they constantly station reading important, reading is so important, particularly for their imagination. i will say i think one of the best things you can do as a parent, especially parents do want to be engaged with their kids. both and they know what to actually know what to say. actually reading bedtime is quite reading them at bedtime is quite nice and creates great nice and it creates a great rhythm. to we read that. rhythm. we used to we read that. we read hobbit it was we read the hobbit it was i think you've taken an extraordinary faire extraordinary laissez faire attitude towards this. so you're basically saying let a kid be feral what they want. feral if that's what they want. all i'm saying is i think there's anxiety. there's a middle class anxiety. oh, have we got enough? you don't need that many books. once you ball rolling, you get the ball rolling, children will them. but you write good. but also, write libraries. good. but also, i will oxfam bookshop and i will say oxfam bookshop and other bookshops. now other second hand bookshops. now loads of children's books for a couple okay maybe couple of quick okay maybe you know if is really know you if money is really tight you can't afford that but a book will a couple of quid a book will last for a couple of weeks. last you for a couple of weeks. yeah i think most of us, if you're honest you can budget and work around that. but you work around that. but what you have do is like sends

have to then do is like sends back forth and keep them back and forth and keep them circulating, it does circulating, you know, it does to lot of evidence. to be a lot of evidence. remember, malcolm remember, one of malcolm gladwell's books about education, some education, which, you know, some people holes in what people would pick holes in what he says. but anyway, his point was it's actually the was it's actually during the holidays, up between holidays, gaps open up between middle households middle class households and working households. working class households. because when children are in school, they're they're all under to read the under pressure to read all the time and engage. but it's time and to engage. but it's part a middle kind of part of a middle class kind of anxieties they incur. so anxieties that they incur. so i'm contradicting myself. but there a yeah, there is some there is a yeah, there is some sort of evidence suggest that, you know, it's quite good idea to least have a few lying to at least have a few lying around. kids can read around. the kids can read if they want. well, there's actually a lot of evidence educationally that is why educationally and that is why the were devasted the lockdowns were so devasted and shutting schools were so devasted and particularly for working kids because of working class kids because of friends mine are still friends of mine who are still the teaching profession. so that when they came back the gulf between the working class kids and the middle class kids was enormous . well, there we go they enormous. well, there we go they sclavos point onto sclavos point that's now onto the daily francis elon musk is calling a colour—blind society

is fine i suppose if you're trying to sell cars. of course. yes absolutely. he says that the media racist to whites and asians and he wants a colour—blind society and it comes after scott adams created a popular dilbert comic. basically, you had a meltdown onune basically, you had a meltdown online where he said black people were a hate group and you watch it. yes, i did indeed . and watch it. yes, i did indeed. and you personally characterise it genuinely as a meltdown because he looked pretty cool to me. no, no. he always plans everything scott himself. definitely wasn't a meltdown, but carried but so to i saw it well the to me when i saw it well the reason i called it a meltdown is i couldn't see why he did it. i couldn't see what he was storing. got it. maybe he just wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. he's like strawberry followed him on twitter since 2015. he was the first person to call it for trump long before anyone made it even make it to the candidate. and he's written some interesting books about, you know , how different people

you know, how different people see same news events through see the same news events through different so on. he's different prisms and so on. he's idiot. was referring, idiot. he was referring, of course a poll. be aware of course, a poll. be aware of this. rasmussen poll in which 50% of the black population either didn't agree with the with the phrase it's okay to be or weren't shouldn't say what they thought about it. yeah so i don't think it's very complicated , almost too much for complicated, almost too much for this little segment. but scott says he's done a lot following a and i've been watching all of it. and he says he's always been very liberal. he's always actually he we should actually pro, even he we should have taxation. have reparations to taxation. he's very liberal and he's been very, very liberal and he if black he that the reason if black people do struggle in america it's because of systemic. so he actually has a lot of very left wing. what was saying, wing. and what he was saying, though, it's very complicated though, is it's very complicated what he's saying. he's justified it and he pointed out one thing. it was interesting that the people him are all white liberals who live in separate neighbourhoods, live neighbourhoods, who don't live in and in the inner city. and he basically he it basically he's he claims it wasn't any way racist and it wasn't in any way racist and it would seem strange for someone that liberal to suddenly make a state what not coming

state what is what is not coming out of anywhere. of course this is preference. know is review preference. you know the reality is the signalling the reality is that the class white that the middle class white population america are population in america are forever to set up gated forever trying to set up gated away from ethnically mixed neighbourhoods. i mean, all he's doneis neighbourhoods. i mean, all he's done is really something that millions people have spent their entire lives doing well . but he entire lives doing well. but he also things like stay hell also said things like stay hell away from them. for instance he was he was strongly put to was well, he was strongly put to the hate group phrase. he admitted was hyperbole. he admitted was hyperbole. what he said things he said said was he two things he said he race as a proxy for he was using race as a proxy for class he was saying it was class as he was saying it was just as a sort of if just doing it as a sort of if certain neighbourhood struggle, then logical to then wouldn't it be logical to get away from. and he said he was as a proxy and was using race as a proxy and the other thing i'm about the other is he is other thing is he is justification for is so justification for is a bit so complicated i can't really think he said but he's saying you say if there if there is a group if there is if there is a group of people whom half have of people of whom half have said that are sure if it's that they are not sure if it's not okay to hate you on the strength of your skin colour that makes that group a hate group. don't think group. yeah. they don't think feminist the media feminist he was saying the media has attitude has encouraged that attitude

must the headline must point which is the headline of which we should of course which we should acknowledge must is simply saying the pendulum swung saying that the pendulum swung too way. well that too far the other way. well that we can. we can we can all. yes, we can. we can absolutely agree with that. and which showing which mosque is showing the problem an overcorrection in problem is an overcorrection in attitudes when it comes race attitudes when it comes to race swinging the pendulum swinging to the other way is inevitably there will be a backlash and there will be a backlash and there will be a backlash and there will be a reaction to this fine. i don't understand why people are trying to push these types of narratives. great finally, nick, we'll have to get this one done quickly before the break. the element, the grey squirrels are in the crosshairs grey squirrels, presumably some sort youth group or something sort of youth group or something . don't know. yeah, it's a dog whistle. it's a squirrel because. they're being to because. yeah, they're being to kill grey squirrels . it because. yeah, they're being to kill grey squirrels. it is part of the post brexit revamp of subsidies because i don't have to on things like to spend money on things like the agricultural policy. the common agricultural policy. so there was always so actually there was always this the grey this sort of joke that the grey squirrels are sort of some sort of proxy immigrants. but now it turns is about turns out. it is all about brexit. take back control of our schools, out the eu and

schools, get out of the eu and bnng schools, get out of the eu and bring back the red school by killing all the grey ones. i remember i was, what, 14, remember when i was, what, 14, 15? school. there was 15? i was at school. there was a there called andy lewis, who is definitely and he definitely got that. the police would give you £1.50 for a squirrel tail and we out with catapults into the woods . so out with catapults into the woods. so this out with catapults into the woods . so this is newcastle. woods. so this is newcastle. it's a systemic 1976, 1977 then the squirrel body had a bounty on its head even then. yeah so, so enid blyton's. i don't know that we ever got one. we used to have those slingshots with this sort of the wrist brace, you know, that kind of powerful. but they're also they're worried about because mink, about minks because mink, the mink vole and mink attacked the water vole and who was going to ever speak up for the waterfowl. and now, for the waterfowl. and that now, then, to i'm so fond of then, now need to i'm so fond of that woodland like that that woodland animals like that their vole the mink their names the vole in the mink weasel women the vicious . oh weasel women the vicious. oh i don't care what they're like really i just have a simple. but he's saying take out the mink to save the wool of all. i just want them all to live in peace. but you're right if you find

that it was naive. simon sylvania and jim for this after break in the final section we'll sex pest of course evil robots and sam smith surprisingly those are all separate stories for you in a couple of minutes.

welcome back headline sorry you missed the interval chatter whether the beach boys are better than the beatles this time around they go for two sixties pop in a heartbeat so we'll jump back into it with tuesday's now and our creepy men gyms for women . well don't ask gyms for women. well don't ask me my gym doesn't even women in when i say gym it's more of a really but anyway so yes thank you for giving this to me to produce so six person leave gyms i'm for women is the headline and apparently is the stories a lot of women are no longer

feeling safe at the gym because of on the uninvited approaches we just say from an and there has been a rash of videos on social media there's been a rash yes a rash is name produced in it as evidence. exactly a rash of videos on social media which is allegedly showing men behaving in creepy and sinister fashion. some of them do. some them don't. and there's one particular influencer who's called natalie bonnet, who says the answer and the solution to this is to set up female only segregation. couldn't agree more. i have say i remember not that long ago in my lifetime there were male only gyms and then women demanded that they be allowed male only allowed to come into male only gyms . and then women started gyms. and then women started dressing up sexualised gym , dressing up sexualised gym, whereas blokes go in wearing a pair of shorts and a filthy vest. women have lycra that would look on a dance floor, let alone in a workout space, and then get surprised when they attract one or two thing to them

to lighten around the exercise equipment . you know, i've got to equipment. you know, i've got to catch a toe. i'm absolutely appalled . the hypocrisy of these appalled. the hypocrisy of these with they are absolutely disgraceful . most blokes would disgraceful. most blokes would still do this would most of them rather go to a sex face to, work out? they know they don't look at their best. most of them. they'd rather talk other blokes about working out and about weight tips may be could you spot me? they don't want be spot me? they don't want to be aware that they like grunting spot me? they don't want to be awaigroaning ey like grunting spot me? they don't want to be awaigroaning like, le grunting spot me? they don't want to be awaigroaning like, well, nting spot me? they don't want to be awaigroaning like, well, there's and groaning like, well, there's this women walking around drinking from water bottles. i'm thinking sick of it. i thought if this son, an employer, was like, i'm imagining the replies to this tweet when it comes out . like all three men talk about women. i've been waiting so long and about simon. that was a simon evans monologue. fine us, but i agree. i mean it's funny that we've come full circle. we've been with women requesting separate spaces and this is probably we're going to probably where we're going to go. at a gentleman's club go. i was at a gentleman's club the women allowed the other day. no women allowed simpler cigars

simpler times. marijuana, cigars talking about the empire . it's talking about the empire. it's just quieter as well . you can just quieter as well. you can get more done and you can work out. you can work in and out of a machine. if you've got like a series you know, you have the actual you got your free weights and you go to aerobics. but you've also got this is for people, obviously, you guys know, because your experience but to gyms, but if you don't go to gyms, there lot of machines there are a lot of machines which a stack and which have a weight stack and they're by cables. so they're connected by cables. so on to at on you're supposed to leave at least seconds, sometimes least 90 seconds, sometimes 3 minutes between right? so minutes between sets, right? so that muscles can oxygenate. that your muscles can oxygenate. and working in and so and if you're working in a is busy, it's quite handy a gym is busy, it's quite handy to be able to work in with somebody . so, you know, i do my somebody. so, you know, i do my set, then i send up and you can quickly pull your programme out, stick whatever and stick it in a low whatever and do your set back and out. no do your set back in and out. no bloke wants to that with bloke wants to do that with women because you can't walk out to mind. work in with to them. go mind. i work in with you because it's creeping you here because it's creeping into sector. yeah, into the sector. yeah, yeah, exactly you can do it with exactly but you can do it with other blokes. so if you've got 100 blokes in a gym, they can actually all work with one

another. 50 blokes and 50 women. the simon the place is jammed. simon i just to say that take told just want to say that take told you saw i think was it you that you saw i think was it disgusting. hey you're disgusting. hey hey you're making me drop my sandwich . i i making me drop my sandwich. i i don't have it works anyway on this now i'm going to become such a social media star way or another telegraph. now this nando's employee has taken cheeky to another level. yep this is a nando's cleaner who demanded 20 k after he saw a staff member drop a burger on the foil is martin coming 20 grand it's been working that nine days i know is incredible griff this is. nine days i know is incredible griff this is . this country is griff this is. this country is failing i'm afraid nine days p started recording people's conversations. yeah it is incredible the extensive the judge said but they were clearly is making itself a nuisance to negotiate a pay off. absolutely shocking. although to be fair to him , he did admit he might have him, he did admit he might have asked for too. so bit of asked for too. so a bit of humility there at the end, but it adds to the afternoon it just adds to the afternoon off. that would have been all right, 20 grand. he was also

described by female colleague described by a female colleague as slithery . so, yeah , i as still a slithery. so, yeah, i know the case for separating jim . i want to know if he nudged burger onto the floor to begin with, whether it was a genuine incident. he was waiting for the daily star next and a story about canines. i've got to say, i don't see the point of robot dogs. they can't look of pain that better any better than the originals, know? they that better any better than the origi but, know? they that better any better than the origi but this know? they that better any better than the origi but this is know? they that better any better than the origi but this is truly ”10w? they can, but this is truly terrifying . and far as i'm terrifying. and as far as i'm concerned this is a that concerned this is a sign that we're of days, we're at the end of days, soldiers use headsets to control robot with minds in robot dogs with their minds in black mirror style video . so black mirror style video. so this is the australian military there developed a headset that can convert a soldier's brain into commands for robot dogs and we've seen the robot dog try. these are the boston dog. yes they sort of like this area. yeah. someone what if we could control them with our mind? you guys ' control them with our mind? you guys , if i say no to all of it guys, if i say no to all of it but my little boy, because he carries . i looked at a video. i carries. i looked at a video. i think they would just move in their heads, left and right to
