. should trans women have been included in international women's day celebrations ? the women's day celebrations? the journalist who's written for some of the world's premiere outlets, nicole lampert, joins me shortly . plus, does anyone me shortly. plus, does anyone still care about oscars? and as gary lineker steps back from presenting match of the day this weekend , could this be the end weekend, could this be the end of his career at bbc? should it be? we'll speak to former premier league star hal robson—kanu . in my big opinion, robson—kanu. in my big opinion, my first on air reaction to gary lineker, his remarks about the migrant crisis and, the need for his suspension . this week's his suspension. this week's match of the day in the big question after sunak announced is this illegal immigration and bill is the government's migrant plan immoral and the news agenda with my panel. should the age of drinking be raised to 21 and all brits abroad an embarrassment? we'll discuss that with my fantastic guest tonight in my take your ten. harry and meghan endlessly attacking the monarchy but happy to accept that privilege titles including

calling their daughter princess. the hypocrisy of this couple is unlimited so this is a mark dolan tonight a very busy show. put something cold and fizzy in the fridge. after all, it's friday night with. any luck? you got the kids in bed. let's have a debate. let's have a stimulating argument let's stimulating argument and let's have along the way. have some fun along the way. lots to get through. we'll start with . so rishi sunak will with this. so rishi sunak will pay with this. so rishi sunak will pay france £478 million in a deal to finally an end to the small boats crisis following crunch talks in paris today, french president emmanuel macron agreed deploy 500 more cops on beaches where dangerous channel crossings start and the president . the opening of a new president. the opening of a new detention centre to help french border force cope with the of migrants being trafficked by people smugglers around the world in return for the half a france will also form new,

highly trained and permanent mobile policing unit dedicated to illegal migration , high end to illegal migration, high end drones, helicopter planes and fresh surveillance tech will be used to ramp up intelligence sharing between british and french forces and all french efforts to tackle small boats will be overseen by a 24 seven zone, all coded nation centre where permanent uk liaison officers will be based. so here's the question will it work? let's get reaction from the leader of ukip, neil hamilton , neil rishi sunak has hamilton, neil rishi sunak has made it one of his five pledges to stop the boats . will the to stop the boats. will the forthcoming legislation in the house of commons and this deal with france do the trick ? well, with france do the trick? well, no , certainly this deal with no, certainly this deal with france won't do the trick. now £500 million to carry on doing what's been totally ineffective for the last five years. the only thing that will stop the boats coming across is if we

intercept them or if they reach our shores . return all the our shores. return all the migrants , those boats back to migrants, those boats back to france . but macron said right at france. but macron said right at the start of proceedings that that wasn't going to happen. they weren't even going to discuss it. so it can't work. have 500 extra officials to police a 70 mile line of beaches . i mean, it's a nonsense. it's like trying to fill a sieve with water. it simply can't be effective . and the politics runs effective. and the politics runs throughout the whole of europe. are in denial about the scale of migrants . and we have 50,000 migrants. and we have 50,000 small boats coming across the channel. last year we had 3000. this year already. and the pull factors the migrants are far too great to allow to a sticking plaster solutions to work . so plaster solutions to work. so for all the polling stroking of bottoms and mutual mass devotion on the platform of the two little globalist international bankers sunak and macron nothing is going to happen.

bankers sunak and macron nothing is going to happen . and it's is going to happen. and it's macron said he had the gall to say that all these problems are actually consequence of brexit. but of course they're not because one of the reasons why macron is refusing to take back migrants who cross the channel illegally from france is because he's got a dispute with italy going on, because it's an he's refusing to take the migrants are flowing from italy into france . so the much vaunted france. so the much vaunted dubun france. so the much vaunted dublin , which is supposed to be dublin, which is supposed to be the answer of the eu to all this illegal migration, is simply not working. even inside the eu . working. even inside the eu. well, jason's just got to get a grip. well, he's organising a league of the bill, going through the house of commons workers because the european convention on human rights will stand in the way and, block its effect. well, let's go this methodically. bit by bit. you are, after all, a lawyer as well as politician. neil i watched the press conference with interest as it was carried live and uninterrupted on gb news. i

missed the bottom stroking so look forward to the x—rated version at some point. however, i'm the detention centre built on french soil is surely a win for sunak . on french soil is surely a win for sunak. now if he if on french soil is surely a win for sunak . now if he if they on french soil is surely a win for sunak. now if he if they can manage to capture and detain these migrants but the numbers are just so great that it may have some marginal effect, but it's not going to solve the problem know there are hundreds of people in africa and the middle east and elsewhere who want to come to europe, and they're desperate to get and nothing will stop them. ultimately unless we decide upon really draconian measures and certainly the scale of what's been agreed today is nothing like what is needed to police the french beaches. there are sand dunes all down that normandy coast which are tailor made for hiding in and migrant

are trying to get across the channelin are trying to get across the channel in a tiny little boats that are very easy to construct and very lightweight to transport onto the beaches and they'll do this 24 hours a day. you know , seen arrivals on our you know, seen arrivals on our beaches at dawn. so they've been paddung beaches at dawn. so they've been paddling across the channel in the dark. you know, it was a fantastic, stupid and dangerous thing to do . but nevertheless, thing to do. but nevertheless, they so to get across the channel they so to get across the channel, they will be prepared to do it. and this is happening in the mediterranean as well . of in the mediterranean as well. of course, italy has got a massive problem. has problem. greece has got a massive problem. the eu will simply not steal to do what is necessary to sort it out because they're all actually consumed. ultimately by the ideas which in the european convention on human rights, which is a document that was designed to deal with the problems of 70 years ago, not the problems of today. and it's not the purpose , neil, much as not the purpose, neil, much as you'd it, many of my viewers and listeners would like it, turning the boats back to is not going to happen any time soon. but

sunak nobody's fault he wants to be re—elected . and of course, be re—elected. and of course, bofis be re—elected. and of course, boris johnson achieved victory in 2019 by getting brexit done well soon. not because he identified stopping boats as a potentially game changing policy . so he will want to have some success with that . do you think success with that. do you think he'd be willing to ditch our membership of the european convention on human rights in order to make it happen ? no, of order to make it happen? no, of course not. and he's made that absolutely clear when. suella braverman was musing about this just a few weeks ago. sunak slapped her down straight away . slapped her down straight away. you know, he himself was was musing about it some time ago. and i said , then it'll never and i said, then it'll never happen. he'll never agree to it. no, no, no. i mean, he is a little globalists, international or banker, and he isn't going to have the guts to leave a convention which is long outlived its purpose, you know , outlived its purpose, you know, why do we need to be in the

european convention on human rights when countries like australia and new zealand and canada had a very liberal governments in the last few years, can manage to have their own human rights laws, which they're satisfied with no , they're satisfied with no, don't. but if we could tweak convention to suit the conditions of then nobody would object to the provisions of that document. but we can't do that because the european court of human rights actually makes the law and the convention is very, very difficult , if not very difficult, if not impossible to amend . and sunak impossible to amend. and sunak is just not up to the job. if we had thatcher as prime minister and you know , it's a battle that and you know, it's a battle that we might start and win, but over sunakis we might start and win, but over sunak is no thatcher. however, former government chief lawyer robert bach neil, a former government chief lawyer, robert buckland told me on this program

that our membership of the european convention on human rights is a red herring and that ditching it wouldn't make a difference. and i just want to revisit these issues that the prime minister knows that the stopping boats policy is a potentially existential threat to him . get it right, he wins to him. get it right, he wins the next election, get it wrong, and he doesn't . are you honestly and he doesn't. are you honestly saying that he's that duplicitous, that he would be willing to essentially lie to the british people, giving the impression he'll stop the boats when never will. but he's either dupuchous when never will. but he's either duplicitous or deluded . now i'll duplicitous or deluded. now i'll take your choice. either way, he screwed, isn't it? because he's not going to do what is to solve the problem and merely putting down on paper a wish list of things that you'd like to happen isn't going to ensure that they do happen. and so unless we can really block the boats by returning the migrants who get to shores and then he's not going to solve the problem . neil going to solve the problem. neil i was in a good mood when i when

i started the show. it is friday night you've probably haven't you your first gin and tonic you had your first gin and tonic yet. is there anything positive about about agreement with france oh, it is . france today? oh, there it is. there you go. his glass is a quarter full. there anything quarter full. is there anything positive the deal with positive from the deal with macron is there anything macron today? is there anything positive about the forthcoming legislation to stop the boats ? legislation to stop the boats? well, i wish that the legislation, which is being proposed would be effective you know, i personally do believe that suella braverman wants to and would if she had the power to solve the problem. but the trouble she's not the prime minister and most of the cabinet don't have the will to do what is necessary. and today's deal and it doesn't set us back and of course i will. i want good relations with france , but good relations with france, but good relations with france, but good relations are of no consequence unless the french are to prepared agree to what would sort the problem out. okay they

don't want all these migrants , don't want all these migrants, the normandy coast either. i mean, the communities on the other side of the channel feel in the same way as the people who live in canton and sussex do. so i don't understand why france and britain bilaterally do a deal on this. okay well, neil asked christine to open another bottle of jacob's creek and we'll catch up soon. thank you so much for your time. look speaks with authority. he's a lifelong eurosceptic. he's the leader of ukip and he's a lawyer as he's not happy with this . as he's not happy with this. with france, it's throwing good money after bad, he says, and counterproductive. let me know your reaction mark at gb news. well let's talk about gary lineker before o'clock tonight. so it's a gary lineker on the bnnk so it's a gary lineker on the brink special. he has stepped aside his presenting duties on match of the day this weekend do his comments threaten the reputation of the bbc should he go altogether or is he

exercising free speech before nine? we'll speak hal robson—kanu , former top premier robson—kanu, former top premier league star. but next up, does anyone care about the oscars and also , should trans women have also, should trans women have been recognised on international women's day or is that another example of women being cancelled? we'll speak to a top journalist about that .

next yeah. should gary lineker step down permanently . the host of down permanently. the host of match of the day . tonight's mark match of the day. tonight's mark dolan tonight a lineker on the bnnk dolan tonight a lineker on the brink special. i've spoken to cal and producer mark torn up the running order. cal and producer mark torn up the running order . this guy has the running order. this guy has become very political . of become very political. of course, i'm the king of free speech, but not for somebody, that's the face of . an that's the face of. an organisation which is paid for by public tax. so well debates . by public tax. so well debates. gary lineker before the end of

the hour with premier league hal robson—kanu and in my big opinion at 9:00 but this week international women's day came and went but with many that so—called gender ideology challenges the idea of sex is erasing women altogether . erasing women altogether. there's talk of the oscars becoming gender neutral. the labour mp jess phillips read out a list of women murdered by men this year, but included a trans woman on list. and in the white house. dr. jill biden, the wife of the president, handed a courageous woman of the year award to a biological who identifies as female. is this progress or is it setting women back decade to discuss this and some of the other big stories of the day? i'm delighted. welcome. nicole lampert, who has written for the metro, the jewish chronicle and the new york post . hi, nicole. hello. great to have you on the show. did you raise an eyebrow when you saw jess phillips making her

statement, making a speech in the of commons, including the house of commons, including a trans woman? did. i felt a trans woman? i did. i felt sorry for her, though, because i think whatever , she couldn't get think whatever, she couldn't get it right or wrong. and it's awful . this list became the awful. this list became the centre , the kind of culture wars centre, the kind of culture wars as what she was doing. it wasn't as what she was doing. it wasn't a thing drawing attention to anyone that's been murdered. it's a brilliant thing because every year she reads out a list of all women that have died at the hands of and for often it's the hands of and for often it's the only chance that they kind of named publicly. she invites their families to come and listen to her and it feels and it's a kind of public acknowledgement of the problems that women still have in terms of violence against and the fact that more than between two in three women are killed every year every week by a man by one she knows. and so props to her for drawing attention to these horrific, appalling and, tragic crimes. however the likes of feminist campaigner kelly j. keane has said that this was political opportune ism and this

list of tragically murdered did not justify the inclusion of trans woman. of course that somebody that's, a biological male who identifies as female. but the question of the goal died the trans girl that died . died the trans girl that died. it was controversial for several reasons. and one of them is that the femicide list is for women who've been killed by men. and proceedings are still active in terms of who murdered this child. but the two people that have been charged with it are a boy and a girl who were both children themselves . so it's not children themselves. so it's not the same as the other murders . the same as the other murders. and the sad thing is that this row , it has completely taken row, it has completely taken over the whole list. the whole reason for ending . i mean, some reason for ending. i mean, some people are just saying can't women have their own for something? i mean, you've got dr. jill biden handing out courageous women of the year awards in the white house to, again, somebody that's a biological intact male who

identifies as female . it's identifies as female. it's a difficult conversation to because you don't want to come across be characterised as transphobic . at the same time, transphobic. at the same time, i'm just wondering where we go with this and what's going to happen. women and their hard fought rights. it a bit . fought rights. it feels a bit. international is international women's day is almost become international trans women day and that they are. there are hardly any trans women. if you look at the how many there are in the country , many there are in the country, there's probably 100,000, 200,000. yeah, but they're being put front and centre of every international women's day advert and awards , things like that. and awards, things like that. and that does feel like can't women just have one day? and it's fine, you know, trans women should enjoy international women's day as much of as other women, but they don't have to be front and centre of it all because it just feels like for people, for women who don't believe trans women are the same as other women, it feels offensive . speaking of which, offensive. speaking of which, gender neutral , oscars, is that

gender neutral, oscars, is that progress ? definitely not. as progress? definitely not. as we've seen with the brits, but it's just mean that there's less women that are going to be nominated , just like in the nominated, just like in the music industry. the film industry has a problem. women, women. i don't think there's any been female directors or maybe any one they've ever won an oscar . so if they do this, then oscar. so if they do this, then we will see less on the list. are you looking forward to the oscars? not really . i mean, it's oscars? not really. i mean, it's an interesting one, isn't it? because let's remind ourselves of what happened last year, nicole. now, this, the infamous slap . take it away. come . oh, slap. take it away. come. oh, wow . wow . i slap. take it away. come. oh, wow . wow. i think we might have wow. wow. i think we might have the from chris rock, the comedian chris rock just released stand up comedy special. if we got count. much it happened i got smacked like a year ago. a lot of people go, chris, how come you didn't do back? how come you didn't ?

back? how come you didn't? nothing back that night. i got parents and you know, my parents taught me don't fight in front of white people . absolutely of white people. absolutely hilarious. the question was that slap or bad for the oscars? nicole i think it's seen as bad . i think it was good because the oscars have got so boring and were talking about gary lineker and of course the oscars celebrities when they win awards, they want to go and spout political stuff and that's been a massive turn off every year oscars. there are fewer and few people watch the oscars. yeah so what they need is they need ricky gervais as host, don't they? well, exactly . don't they? well, exactly. that's kind of what that's kind of what chris rock was doing. and that he was roasting the celebrities . and it was quite celebrities. and it was quite funny. but of course, this mad moment, kind of in moment, kind of one in a generation moment where he gets hit for what he says is quite astounding . it's a shocker. has astounding. it's a shocker. has it permanently damaged. will smith's career. i mean, is

smith's career. i mean, is smith's over as a result of the slap ? i don't think it's over. slap? i don't think it's over. it probably has damaged it. and we certainly see the behind the man, which is both good and bad. we know how hurt he is . and he's we know how hurt he is. and he's he's he's showing that hurt in the aggression that he's shown. doesit the aggression that he's shown. does it demonstrate how these people in hollywood are ? well, people in hollywood are? well, maybe just that they are no supposed to envy them, but we are meant to envy them. i think this is part of the with the oscars that we kind of know these and who these celebrities and who they are now because they do reality shows, they're on instagram, they're telling points they're telling us their points of time . so the of view all the time. so the magic the oscars is magic of the oscars is disappear. i that's disappear. i think that's a really, fair . disappear. i think that's a really, fair. i mean, you really, really fair. i mean, you know, it was always this venerated showbiz occasion with dancers singers and amazing dancers and singers and amazing glitter and pomp. and now as you say, it's just an ego fest . and say, it's just an ego fest. and quite controversial, isn't problem that people don't movies in the numbers they used to that

it's all netflix and box set series. well there's that but they people do watch movies they watch all the marvel films . they watch all the marvel films. they are they have that kind of easy to make. they don't require much thought. and they do really well at the box office. and that's the problem. so they've now they've kind of increased the category of best picture so that they at least some box hits. they do at least some box hits. so avatar was one of the biggest hits in the box office, and that's the best film category, but it probably won't win. so the problem is , do you remember the problem is, do you remember the problem is, do you remember the days of titanic where you the days of titanic where you the best film was also the most film of the year and that's unlikely to happen. and that's partly to do with the streaming services that people and of course, pandemic a massive course, the pandemic a massive impact. but people say people, if they're going to spend the money, go to the cinema, then they to see something special . they to see something special. last but not least, i know you're not the biggest fan of the government's legislation on and the migrant crisis , but and the migrant crisis, but what's your reaction to carolyn

invoking of the second world war and the holocaust into , the and the holocaust into, the debates? yeah really unhappy with it. i'm just unhappy . with it. i'm just unhappy. anyone that invokes the holocaust . and although people holocaust. and although people say it's not invoking the holocaust but 1930 germany you'd only talk about that because of what it led to. but he's not talking the historical that there are so many historical factors that went into to the holocaust not thousands of years . so if he wanted to invoke something he could have invoked the fact that when jewish were trying to escape from the, many , including britain, closed their doors . yeah, which is the their doors. yeah, which is the most tragic and awful, awful stain on our history. you are , a stain on our history. you are, a jewish person ? journalist. so, i jewish person? journalist. so, i mean, how how do you think that this story has gone down within jewish community? have you got your sort finger on the pulse as to how it's been received? because it seems to be these days that hitler invoked in a lot of debates especially if the

other side don't agree with the point made. well, they point being made. well, they kind of say, you know, if you if you have to invoke hitler or the, already lost the, then you've already lost argument something the, then you've already lost argbefent something the, then you've already lost argbe really something the, then you've already lost argbe really terrible omething the, then you've already lost argbe really terrible t0|ething the, then you've already lost argbe really terrible to be|ing to be really terrible to be compared to that. and it has to be something really evil . and if be something really evil. and if you keep invoking that, aren't that if you keep saying things like the tories, then you're actually denigrating what happenedin actually denigrating what happened in the holocaust and what happened to only jewish people. but also what happened, what the did to many other minority groups. look, it's been a thrill to have you in the studio. thank you for having me again soon. i promise you more jolly stories next time. get the news agenda pretty dark tonight. i think you'll and pretty i think you'll agree. and pretty dark gary lineker, who is in dark for gary lineker, who is in trouble? he's been suspended by the beeb for his comments about . the government's migrant . he . the government's migrant. he has been suspended. he's been benched by the beeb. he won't be presenting a match of the day weekend. your reaction market gb

news uk after this reaction from top premier league star and wales international hal robson connie. that's .

next welcome to mark dolan tonight and lineker on the brink special gary lineker. the topic of my

big opinion at nine and i'm not pulling my punches. gary lineker is stepping back from his duties as match of the day presenter. according to the bbc in an official statement . lineker will official statement. lineker will not present the until an agreement is reached on social media use. it comes after the presenter said yesterday that he would be presenting of the day tomorrow as usual after several days of intense criticism over , days of intense criticism over, his twitter posts about the government's asylum seeker policy. a tweet from lineker had suggested was not reprimanded by the bbc for his comments about the bbc for his comments about the small boats policy, despite criticism from some politicians. so this the right decision. let's reaction now. former air wales. it's national premier league start . wales. it's national premier league start. hal robson—kanu. hi how . league start. hal robson—kanu. hi how. i'm doing really well. great to have you on the show. what do you think of gary lineker's in particular?

refereed seeing germany in the second world war in relation this migrants policy. second world war in relation this migrants policy . yeah this migrants policy. yeah i think obviously in terms of lineker his comments, i think they're obviously being taken in they're obviously being taken in the sense of, you know, what they have come across. you know, when you're referencing germany in its past it's always going to be a very difficult and of course sensitive subject but i think know diving deeper into it you want be asking the questions as to you know why did gary lineker say what he said. and i think when you look at the support which has come out in favour of gary lineker when you look at the likes of ian wright, alan shearer, jermaine jenas and even the piers morgan, all supporting gary lineker and what he has said and his position i think fundamentally what we're here is a support of free speech and you know bbc's comments around . the need to not censor

around. the need to not censor gary what gary lineker can or cannot post on social media ultimately is bordering free speech rights because . speech rights because. ultimately, gary lineker is an individual. he's a human, and if he chooses link wartime germany to decision made by the current government , then i think the government, then i think the question needs to be why. you know, in dive deeper into understanding why is this such a significant topic for lineker to make such a link. significant topic for lineker to make such a link . and i think make such a link. and i think that's ultimately what's been missed. i think now obviously with the war which has kicked off when you look , you know he's off when you look, you know he's not going to be presenting match the day tomorrow you know who's going to stand in for gary lineker. i think this is going to be a pivotal moment in match of the day, a pivotal moment in the bbc's , you know, streaming the bbc's, you know, streaming of broadcasting of football . of broadcasting of football. and, you know, ultimately, i

think it shows the significance that not only free speech and government meant but also what we see in terms of the support and across the globe in terms of individual free rights of course i mean how the issue is that he is perhaps the face of the bbc. it's paid staff he's. is perhaps the face of the bbc. it's paid staff he's . the it's paid staff he's. the presenter of match of the day . presenter of match of the day. is it helpful for the organisation for , the beeb, the organisation for, the beeb, the national state broadcaster to which is paid for from attacks the licence fee? is it helpful for him . take a view on such for him. take a view on such a divisive issue issue . yes. so divisive issue issue. yes. so that's the question you know should he have a political position. i think that's that's what question is ultimately . and what question is ultimately. and you know , as we said before, do you know, as we said before, do we have free speech or not regardless who you're working for, what your is, surely should be an element of being able to

speak what is on your mind, you know, talking about what's right or wrong , whether that's right or wrong, whether that's right or wrong, whether that's right or wrong, whether that's right or wrong in the grounds scheme of things or whether that's what you is, right or wrong as. i said before, i think actually being able communicate that and understand why someone is taking that position is the most important aspect. and i think that's fundamental to what's been missed here. so yeah, i think, you know , as i said, it's think, you know, as i said, it's certainly a pivotal time and it's a difficult time as well when it comes to bbc's , you when it comes to bbc's, you know, as i said the likes of, you know, big names coming out in support of gary lineker and against the decision that the bbc made. and ultimately i think it opens up the need for open debate discussion and the ability to have a have an open and transparent platform. again you know, you said beforehand , you know, you said beforehand, you know, you said beforehand, you know, you wrote out that speech in terms what gary lineker , his position before he

lineker, his position before he was ultimately removed from from his position at the bbc, whether it's in the interim , the long it's in the interim, the long term, he was very much thinking that he was going to be in position, he was going to present match of the day. and it's only that we've recently found out that he was asked to step back and, you know, i think that's not necessary really very open. you know, if bbc are asking gary lineker to step back, they should be open about it. and i think again, it's into too deep of questions indeed . too deep of questions indeed. you're clearly an excellent broadcaster , great communicator, broadcaster, great communicator, as well as a great. how would you consider stepping in and hosting the show tomorrow night's . well, i'm not currently night's. well, i'm not currently qualified as a presenter so regardless if i wanted to or not, i don't think would. none of us seem it to do. but there's going to be number of presenters who certainly will turn down this this opportunity. who certainly will turn down this this opportunity . and this this opportunity. and again, whether it's solidarity,

whether it's through the support of free speech, you know, i think , as i said, it's a it's think, as i said, it's a it's unprecedented in bbc . certainly unprecedented in bbc. certainly particularly from from a former football broadcasting perspective . but look, i think perspective. but look, i think it's a topic which is set in a sensitive topic, but which for me, i needs to be discussed a deeper level. again, we're talking about politics, we talking about politics, we talking about, you know, the right wings position in terms of able to remove someone . gary able to remove someone. gary lineker within talking about, you know, the left wing position will actually you know, i'll both wings, the same wings of the same but you know , i think the same but you know, i think there needs to be open discussion actually , a level discussion actually, a level playing field , although how playing field, although how look, you've had a very distinguished career as a player international or international player course the 46 caps for

wales in the senior squad for in the under 20 ones reading west brom arsenal. it's been a great career and entertained many thousands of fans and do football fans want all of this politics? do they want to debate the migrant crisis or rainbow flags rainbow armbands and taking the knee. is there a place for politics in football . place for politics in football. do people just want to enjoy the game game ? it's a great game game? it's a great question. look, i think some supporters around world that their supporters you know they're not supporting politics they're not supporting politics they're not supporting you know, various different parties . they various different parties. they are supporting the game. and so , of course, when it comes to match of the day , you know, match of the day, you know, whether it's match of the day, sky sports, you know, tv coverage, whatever it is that tuning to . in watch the tuning to. in watch the beautiful game of football. now, again , the correlation between

again, the correlation between football and politics that one you know, one could debate there isn't and actually , you know, isn't and actually, you know, the fact that gary lineker's position is such as whatever it is, again, we're talking about free, free rights, an open and honest area where you have a position regardless of your stance, etc. you should not mean that he's relinquished out of his role in terms of presenting to millions of people on weekly bafis to millions of people on weekly basis the beautiful game which they're tuning in to watch . you they're tuning in to watch. you know, i think one could debate that actually he probably should still have to have to have the role and still be the be presenting so as i said, look, i think there's a lot of people who have differing views. again it's all about, you who have differing views. again it's all about , you know, what it's all about, you know, what we see here is ultimately division , you know, it's division, you know, it's division, you know, it's division opposite sides. it's creates controversy and all that does is, you know, start apart,

entertain and, you know, people will tune in to watch that. you know, we'll get the views , will know, we'll get the views, will get the hits. but actually, you know, is that solving anything is anything coming of it? you know, who's who? who's to say it is ? how what a treat to have you is? how what a treat to have you on the show a very very interested set of views and i'll definitely reflect on those and i'll ask my view is to respond market gbnews.uk. i mentioned all the teams played for fantastic number of appearances for west brom 143 between 2016 and 2021. what's next for you. would you like one more? one more opportunity in football football . hey, i'm i a company football. hey, i'm i a company called the turmeric co in 2018 and we're delivering health based functional turmeric shots to people in all different walks of life. wow partnered with partners with over 40 elite sports teams , but also, you sports teams, but also, you

know, subscribers of grandparents. parents and, you know, teenagers as well. so that's my i'm ceo of the company. i that company and we're privileged to be making a positive difference in society through nutrition in the form of our functional face shots. oh, listen , i'm i'm all over that listen, i'm i'm all over that because turmeric is a really great little business it's anti—inflammatory. it's great for health. it is indeed. yeah and it's been used for millennia in asian parts of the world. and what we've done is created a convenient solution, which is changing people's lives for the better you know, we've had over 10,000 positive customer reviews of the products really changing lives, whether that's through increased energy, whether it's to reduce arthritis or whether it's through pain relief in the reduction of inflammation . reduction of inflammation. however, it is a food. it's not a medicine . however, it is a food. it's not a medicine. but we firm however, it is a food. it's not a medicine . but we firm believe a medicine. but we firm believe is that you know, food can be

our medicine and certainly we put into our bodies. does an impact on health. and when you look at society when you look at the ailments around the world we've never had more levels of high levels heart disease high levels of obesity. and when you look at our food industry , when look at our food industry, when you look at the highly processed foods that are offered to , young foods that are offered to, young people eat processed fast foods, high fat, high sugar foods. there's a reason why we're experiencing the levels disease that we are today . one in four that we are today. one in four kids leave primary school obese and there's a reason for that. so you we're looking to make a positive on society through functional natural nutrition. well i'm really glad that i ask this is the co. yeah correct. yes. yeah there they go. the turmeric doc check out their website. it's quackery, folks . website. it's quackery, folks. turmeric really is good for you and if how's anything to go by, then he's a perfect advert for it. how? we'll catch up soon.

want to just get reaction first from my panel to this story. briefly, if you can folks emma should gary lineker leave match of the day ? well, i would have of the day? well, i would have thought that for 1.3, 1.4 billion, £1,000,000. 0h thought that for 1.3, 1.4 billion, £1,000,000. oh million pounds a year. it's only he could keep his traps , frankly, could keep his traps, frankly, mark, but perhaps he feels that we deserve to hear from him. we've heard his views on the environment. we've heard his views on brexit endlessly . we've views on brexit endlessly. we've heard he's even heard his views on some shamima begum . i don't on some shamima begum. i don't exactly wait with baited breath and frankly for my kind of political news from gary lineker and i see see the footage of him preciously having someone carrying an umbrella so over him in the snow this morning so that was nice. it does feel like it's one rule for him and one rule for everybody else at the bbc, actually in terms of impartiality and neutrality , all impartiality and neutrality, all of that. and it's very easy to preach, isn't it when you are a

multimillionaire . don't know. multimillionaire. don't know. i'm not that interested in what gary lineker has say. and i very much feel that this weekend is going to be a kind of temporary you know, he'll be off for one week or couple of weeks so week or a couple of weeks so that the bbc can prove to us how neutral and impartial they are . neutral and impartial they are. okay. well, that's an interesting view. interesting and balanced view. we big opinion we will get to big opinion very shortly . but what do you think shortly. but what do you think about. shortly. but what do you think about . about this as a lawyer no about. about this as a lawyer no less? jerry hayes , do you think less? jerry hayes, do you think that he's within his rights to express his free speech, within his rights ? no longer the bbc, his rights? no longer the bbc, which is meant to be impartial. my which is meant to be impartial. my look at gary lineker from time to hear his views on football . i don't care what football. i don't care what views on politics are , but he's views on politics are, but he's meant to be impartial. i think not that he should be suspended. i genuinely thing. and i'm not exactly you know , an old leftie exactly you know, an old leftie mad right winger i think he should go , but he won't go.

should go, but he won't go. willy because he earns an awful lot of money. a lot of people like what he says on football , like what he says on football, the key pits of football . the key pits of football. otherwise, shut up . okay, sam otherwise, shut up. okay, sam dowler, what do you think? a lot of people are defending him based the free speech arguments. look, i would defend him because ihappen look, i would defend him because i happen to i mean, i don't particularly like the way he expressed but i agree expressed it, but i do agree with the sentiment of what he said. i think that's obviously he's part of bbc's. said. i think that's obviously he's part of bbc's . so he's part of the bbc's. so therefore he shouldn't really say i think lot of say that. i think a lot of people respect for standing people will respect for standing by, sticking his certainly by by, sticking by his certainly by his morals mean at the end of the day, like i mean, if his contract was terminated by the bbc, he would find it not. he would find it incredibly to easy itv to sky and make a lot itv or to sky and make a lot more money than he's doing now. and think that, you know, the fact that he feels so politically motivated not politically motivated let's not forget hosted refugees in forget he hosted two refugees in his as well. so this is his own home as well. so this is something that is very you know, he's very passionate about. and that's, the that's, you know, and the chairman bbc donated

chairman of the bbc donated hundred thousand pounds to the tory party as well . so i mean, tory party as well. so i mean, like, what's that got to do with. what i'm saying, what i'm saying is that, you know, if he if he had said if he said congratulations everyone on a fantastic new policy like he we wouldn't be in this situation. the fact he has argued against it and such you know colourful why doesn't they keep his job? i agree. well, he thinks about which sam is my great agree c—word . well, which a would he c—word. well, which a would he did? none of us know. he didn't have. no, he didn't. he, he conjured he conjured up 1950s germany. he did not. he was conjuring up 1930 his. yes that is just wrong , immoral and is just wrong, immoral and stupid . it is just wrong, immoral and stupid. it is. is just wrong, immoral and stupid . it is. and it's the end stupid. it is. and it's the end of the line when it when comes to his argument. i see where his argument coming from. a lot of us can see where it's coming from. but obviously using using that language is wrong. incredibly incendiary. but i just i think maybe he is just i just think maybe he is maybe he's come to the end of the end of his tether when it

comes to this, come to the end of his contract. i'm sorry. speaking is speaking out about things that he feels. just to correct guys. he's correct you guys. he's a freelance presenter. his freelance presenter. that's his people freelance. people claim he's freelance. he's got contract he's he's no he's got a contract he's not actually employed. he has he's a contract he's he's got a contract now. emma's he's he's emma's right. he's he's technically he technically freelance. he contract. i have a contract contract. no, i have a contract at it doesn't mean i'm at the. it doesn't mean i'm employed . it's contract. employed there. it's a contract. well have be sure well but you have be sure because a government agency because it's a government agency not i mean some of the some of that's not government. zb that's not a government. zb these go out and these presenters go out and say say things. it's not the style, but. well, it's funded by the taxpayer. funded by the taxpayer is mean, not the is what i mean, not the government. okay. well, government. yes okay. well, look, sorry lineker has look, agent. sorry lineker has not split country . he not just split the country. he has my panel. what's your has split my panel. what's your . adds gb news dot uk. they . mark adds gb news dot uk. they will be back at 1032 debate it in the papers but it's now for my big opinion. multi—billionaire socialist gary lineker has made a couple of headunes

lineker has made a couple of headlines this week with his supporters disingenuously defending his right to free speech and calling out hypocrisy among those critical of cancel culture , saying they're trying culture, saying they're trying to cancel him . let me correct to cancel him. let me correct them on as a point of order. lineker has cancelled himself, confirmed by the news earlier today that he is to temporarily step as the presenter of match of the day. no public whose income is derived an obligatory tax in this , the licence fee has tax in this, the licence fee has the of free speech, given the fact that this regressive tax will see old ladies potentially jailed if they don't pay . it's jailed if they don't pay. it's those working for the particularly high profile figures must be neutral linda because people point out that he's not a member of staff at the beeb but a freelance presenter. well think that's a spunous presenter. well think that's a spurious as the best paid on the beeb. he is very much its face following one political statement after it has been one

rule for gary and another for everyone else at the beeb who would already have been sacked by now in their inveterate , by now in their inveterate, simply by being unable , enforce simply by being unable, enforce and uphold the impartial ality of their presenters . the bbc of their presenters. the bbc have no idea the amount of damage that's being done their reputation, particularly if take sides on an issue which is as divisive . this one by linking divisive. this one by linking this new migration policy to germany in the second world war. lineker effectively calling anyone who supports the small boats legislate , and that's over boats legislate, and that's over half the country , by the way, as half the country, by the way, as racist. and cruel. is it entirely why for the beeb, via one of their biggest stars , to one of their biggest stars, to demonise millions of people who pay demonise millions of people who pay the licence fee . now the pay the licence fee. now the migrant crisis is a complex one and numbers across western europe people fleeing persecution as as economic migrants . enormous. there is no migrants. enormous. there is no silver bullet, but it's hardly controversial to want to end a

business model of trafficking. and it's hardly controversial to want to stop these perilous crossings, which leading to injury and death . whatever your injury and death. whatever your politics, the migrant crossings 45,000 last here are a humanitarian, economic and national security disaster. we have always always will welcomed refugees . yes, but there must be refugees. yes, but there must be due process. there must be a procedure . there must be a safe procedure. there must be a safe and coherent way to do it. and one that doesn't involve the dispatching of human beings. often at the behest of international gangsters , into international gangsters, into unseaworthy dinghies, with some of those crossing , lobbing their of those crossing, lobbing their phones and paper work into the water and running for the hills on arrival , water and running for the hills on arrival, or being picked up on arrival, or being picked up on arrival, or being picked up on arrival into a criminal infrastructure and the black economy stopping . the boats is economy stopping. the boats is contentious, but it's not controversial . of course we must controversial. of course we must

debate it on like this where it's my job to have an opinion not on match of the day. lineker is clearly a huge talent as a spurs, leicester and england hero and as a very fine sports broadcaster. but his hero and as a very fine sports broadcaster . but his hypocrisy broadcaster. but his hypocrisy no bounds when he wails about our unequal world whilst battling hmrc to reduce the size of his tax bill or when he enters debates on racial prejudice by bizarrely claiming his own experience of racism . his own experience of racism. notwithstanding that, he's one of the most famous white men in the country, he wails the environment, but i can't imagine air conditioned stadia in the desert at last year's world cup were particularly brilliant for the environs , but gary was happy the environs, but gary was happy fly there to present the world cup.the fly there to present the world cup. the most woke presenter on tv was also quiet on the modern day slave . three conditions in day slave. three conditions in which those were built in 40 degree heat with thousands

falling to their death or simply dying dehydration or heat exhaustion as they constructed the buildings from which he happily broadcast it. and what about the shocking homophobia and sexism of the regime? a truly regressive country in which are second class citizens and men imprisonment or even death for being gay ? none of death for being gay? none of that motivated lineker sit the tournament out and when it comes the migrant crisis, lineker have support from the privileged media elites who will all comfortably insulated from the real world impact on communities of the migrant crisis . but he's of the migrant crisis. but he's showing himself and the association of the bbc to be out of touch with the british. this is a problem as the british people pay for the let me quote top professor of politics and on the red wall matthew goodwin has said every day conservative

ministers are on the news stop the boats is win for the conservative party. our national conversation does not reflect the public mood that there you go what a bulls up i'm. sorry, but gary's got to go . what's but gary's got to go. what's your reaction, mark? gbnews.uk coming up in the news agenda fleet , street legend eve pollard fleet, street legend eve pollard , she'll be talking about the gary lineker . what could the gary lineker. what could the implications for the bbc? my means guest is x factor coronation street star shay ward. but next in big question is the government's migrant climate plan immoral ? we'll climate plan immoral? we'll discuss that with margaret thatcher's former personal adviser and the top lawyer. see you .

in three. market gbnews.uk a big reaction to my big opinion. market gbnews.uk a big reaction to my big opinion . let's see to my big opinion. let's see what you are saying . and i'm what you are saying. and i'm afraid you're not having lineker. camille says mark he should have been sacked by the beeb a long time ago. such arrogant twit. and there are many footballers who could take place and also the likes of shearer and writes. they are not replaced about. gary should stick to crisps . and how this stick to crisps. and how this from shearer who says not i don't think if clarkson to go

then similarly now lineker as well . i'll then similarly now lineker as well. i'll get to more of your emails shortly but it's time for this . it's emails shortly but it's time for this. it's time now for big question in which we tackle a major news story of the day. anthony a top lawyer, has said that the stop the boats legislation would be a clear breach of the convention with . breach of the convention with. other legal experts condemning the policy as racist. illegal and unworkable is the legislation. legal flawed? and is it immoral or , even racist, is it immoral or, even racist, to debate this ? i'm delighted to to debate this? i'm delighted to welcome nile gardiner, the director of the margaret thatcher centre for freedom and a former adviser to mrs. thatcher and ivan, an immigration lawyer at private us law . can i start with you please law. can i start with you please nile gardiner ? do you think that nile gardiner? do you think that this legislation is unworkable . this legislation is unworkable. and mark, thanks very much for

having me on the show today. and in my view, i think legislation is a is a very big step in the right direction . and i think right direction. and i think that it sets out a clear agenda for ending these small boats , for ending these small boats, migrant crisis. and at the end of the day, the british government has to defend the sovereignty of the united kingdom. it has to defend the safety and security of the people of the united kingdom. and think this legislation certainly is a is a very big step forward in the right direction. now, having said that, i do believe that we are going to see major issues, of course, with the echr and britishvolt said they will have to leave the european convention on rights. but as for all of these accusations of these comparisons of britain with germany that we're seeing from from the likes of gary lineker , from the likes of gary lineker, this is absolutely outrageous . this is absolutely outrageous. this is not a racist agenda. this is not a racist agenda. this is not a racist agenda. this is about defending the borders , the united kingdom. borders, the united kingdom. these policies will save lives after . all these human

after. all these human traffickers are putting lives of these migrants at risk , the these migrants at risk, the channel and also they're coming over from france . the last over from france. the last i checked, france is not a third world country. if they want to asylum, they can claim it . in asylum, they can claim it. in france, large numbers , those france, large numbers, those crossing the channel as well , france, large numbers, those crossing the channel as well, or economic migrants, including tens of thousands of albanians have attempted to cross over . have attempted to cross over. and so this idea that this is some sort of cruel policy put forward by the british is absolutely ludicrous and fundamentally ridiculous . ivan fundamentally ridiculous. ivan watson , you are an immigration watson, you are an immigration lawyer at prevail this law. what you think of this legislation . you think of this legislation. surely nobody should be coming to the uk from france france . to the uk from france france. well, it's an immoral law. simply because it's unlawful. it breaches article 13 of the convention. it article two and this court five. i'll bet your other guest is never read the

european convention. need as you read the visa and then he would know that it breaches all three articles and the government's use of section a section 19 three of the human rights act is a clear abuse of power. the section 19 piece was never intended for it to be used in these situations . it was powers these situations. it was powers given to the secretary of state to use in emergencies situations. look, the numbers haven't gone up at all. all that's happened is they visible the boats and not in the lorries. if you look at the numbers over the many years that people have been coming across illegally, the problem is the government doesn't secure borders because it doesn't have systems to the borders systems to protect the borders of country . and what of this country. and so what they're to demonise they're trying to demonise refugees coming and this legislation will not get off ground simply because it's unlawful it breaches the european convention of the human rights act and. therefore, it will be challenged in the. however if britain dispose is of

its membership of the convention on human rights. mr. sampson . on human rights. mr. sampson. that won't stop people coming across the channel. there's only one thing that's going to stop the. people coming off the channelis the. people coming off the channel is we send them back to france. we need a bilateral agreement similar to the dublin convention. what we need to do is if you come across the channel is if you come across the channel, you will be sent back. france, that is where the asylum application should be considered and they granted in france and if they have family members in the uk they should be allowed to come and join them here. if they haven't, they should haven't, then they should be dispersed equally amongst the european you know, if european countries. you know, if every 10,000 people in our country we take seven asylum application ins in europe, they take 14. we take a of what our neighbours europe take. it's simply not true . we've been simply not true. we've been overrun by. it's simply a headune overrun by. it's simply a headline grabbing a political motivated policy by the government. fact is, we don't take enough refugees. we should taking 100,000 a year. that's

our fair share of the global problem . ivan samson of my problem. ivan samson of my viewers and listeners would reject . you've said they would reject. you've said they would argue that you're gaslighting them . 45,000 people entering the them. 45,000 people entering the country illegally last year. many of my viewers and listeners find images of people landing on dinghies , which is very dinghies, which is very dangerous on shores, sometimes chucking documentation and their mobile in the water as they cross , sometimes running for the cross, sometimes running for the hills when they get here. this is unacceptable to the british people. it is. and the government's charge with preventing that and removing them. that is the problem. we can't control people coming across the channel. the borders are too wide . we can't. what we are too wide. we can't. what we can do is our systems in place to deter them. now, as i said to you, if knew that if i came across the channel, i'm getting sent back to france , i wouldn't sent back to france, i wouldn't bother making the trip. it made bilateral agreements, the french that work. i this bromance

between and macron and throwing half a billion pounds at him is not going to work. the french are not motivated to stop people crossing the channel now if they have to decide . the claims in have to decide. the claims in france , if that's where they france, if that's where they have to be decided and they know full well that they come back to france, they will stop them setting up in the first place. those are the agreements we need, the agreements that we have them is basically have with them is basically throwing money down pan. throwing money down the pan. i won't hold my breath. no gardener . yeah. so think, you gardener. yeah. so think, you know, firstly, this idea of that, you know, the chrome is going to strike a deal to take back all of these illegal migrants is just pure fantasy. and the french said categorically they're not going to do that. i do believe that it's fundamentally wrong to be sending large sums of money over to france. there should france's problem they should be dealing with. but the reality is emmanuel krol hates brexit. he will do his best to undermine

britain. he has no intention whatsoever of striking a deal to have these illegal migrants return. and this idea as well that these are largely refugees, that's not true at all. vast majority economic migrants actually . so i think we have to actually. so i think we have to make that fundamental distinction. and this idea as well of that britain should take 100,000 refugees a year. i think it's absolutely preposterous , it's absolutely preposterous, frankly. and when you look at the attacks coming from the un refugee agency . look who's on refugee agency. look who's on the executive committee actually of the agency for refugees. inclusive china, russia, iran , inclusive china, russia, iran, venezuela. zimbabwe saw the world's worst human rights violators. now lecturing the british people and the british government over immigration policy is absolutely nasty, ridiculous . policy is absolutely nasty, ridiculous. ivan thompson , what ridiculous. ivan thompson, what would you say to my viewers and listeners? communities have been impacted by migrant hotels . i impacted by migrant hotels. i say that you should complain to your local for not deciding

asylum applications within a reasonable . look in 1998. i'm reasonable. look in 1998. i'm sorry 22 we had 84,000 asylum application a year. when i first started as a young lawyer , we started as a young lawyer, we were having something like 100,000 asylum applications . 100,000 asylum applications. we've lost the line there to mr. sampson. but thank to immigration reality . there go. immigration reality. there go. having one of those nights mr. thank you for joining having one of those nights mr. thank you forjoining us. thank you for joining us. immigration lawyer at privateers law and my thanks to nile the director of the margaret centre for freedom and a former adviser to mrs. thank you, gentlemen. a fascinating debate reaction. mark gbnews.uk my mark means guest is x—factor and coronation street star shayne ward. we'll talk fame, life, money, romance and having a great career in showbiz. we've also got the papers at 1030 with full panel

reaction . but next in the news reaction. but next in the news agenda , fleet street legend eve agenda, fleet street legend eve pollard on the big story of the day. and just could the damage of the gary lineker story be on the bbc itself? we'll debate that next .

next welcome back to the show. in my take ten, harry and meghan can't stand the royal but are happy to enjoy the titles. duke and duchess of and their youngest daughter is now a princess. you couldn't make it up that's my take it ten but if you're joining us let me bring you up to speed on a developing story. the football presenter, gary will step back from presenting match day this weekend match of the day this weekend after . the bbc match of the day this weekend after. the bbc his after. the bbc decided his tweet, which criticised the government's migrant policies , government's migrant policies, has breached their guidelines on impartiality. the programme will be presenter less tomorrow. oh

goodness, it goes from bad to worse. a bbc spokesman has some of our pundits have said that they don't wish to appear on the programme. whilst we seek to resolve situation with gary, we understand their position and we've decided that the programme will focus on match action without studio presentation or punditry. while the bbc are in a mess. and who better to analyse the fallout than fleet street ? the fallout than fleet street? pioneering newspaper editor eve pollard. hi, eve. hi great to have you back. i think you're back from florida, so it's good to see you later. what a right royal mess . and in terms of royal mess. and in terms of gary, it's all me, me, me, isn't it? well the thing is, all i can say is welcome to the most toxic election you've ever heard of . election you've ever heard of. i'm told i mean, having just come back from being away for a couple of weeks. the world is on manoeuvres. we're not the world. the labour party is on the news. there's drinks, there's lunch, there's there's plotting there's dinner, there's plotting , everything. virtually , there's everything. virtually anybody who's ever been a labour

mp is now in it right up to their necks. this poll is crossing this, all of that , crossing this, all of that, which i don't blame them for, because they've been out of office for a long time. you get together with your friends, it's like old pals. it's like the old days. and they're desperate about time. now, about winning this time. now, maybe tories are too. i haven't heard about what they're doing. i trying run the i suppose they're trying run the country. we're talking about that minute and i haven't that in a minute and i haven't heard about, you know, heard anything about, you know, the group and the green party small group and the green party small group and the lib dems, but is fascinating. we are now still possibly 18 months, maybe more away from an election and it's started in earnest . well, started in earnest. well, indeed. and i wonder whether , indeed. and i wonder whether, gary lineker's position on the migrant legislation being up by the government plays the government's hands because we're all about this one policy which really could move the dial next year for rishi sunak. well, i think a successful immigration policy will move the dial . now, policy will move the dial. now, whether this is possible or ,

whether this is possible or, whether this is possible or, whether this is feasible. i mean , i think that gary was going too far . of course, i , i think that gary was going too far. of course, i would think that to compare it to the. you cannot compare anything we're doing in this country to the who killed jews communists, gays, all of people in the most murderous , most horrible way. murderous, most horrible way. so, of course, you want file. and it's interesting to see the people who are supporting him . i people who are supporting him. i mean, you know, the polls media releases, the media release , but releases, the media release, but also the whole thing about, releases, the media release, but also the whole thing about , the also the whole thing about, the social, social media is it's dangerous , dirty. you can say dangerous, dirty. you can say anything you like. i mean, in the days, of course, i would refer to this. newspapers had to be checked a lawyer. otherwise you got sued . you can say you got sued. you can say anything on social media. and of course, as you know , really course, as you know, really clever people have undone themselves and left it . but of themselves and left it. but of course, you can say what you like. gary lineker is a brilliant sports commentator. we have to admit that. and he's just gone far. he went too far.

he gave the no option when he said he was sure he would still be in place on saturday. and when you said was chatting to the general often you it's you've got to be careful . bbc you've got to be careful. bbc we're all paying for it. you me everybody who watches television is paying for it. yes. and tomorrow night, no. presenter at all. what a farce. well, wouldn't it be ironic if the ratings were even higher than yours? well, it be. but of course, sport is so important. having adjusted to sunday newspapers, sports essential if you don't have the sport report for their team , you don't sell for their team, you don't sell and when you consider the viewing . so for example, the bbc viewing. so for example, the bbc 10:00 news, these are the latest figures could find publicly gets watched by 4.2 million. i best match of the day gets at least 7 million so it's to young kids i mean i'm part of a football family i'm afraid they're all arsenal fans which is probably made half the audience hate me

already you know wife mother grandmother kids who are fascinated by the game and he's a very prominent position but it's sad if it's if he loses this but it's also dangerous to say the things you said and how can this organisation allow one man to cause such trouble for them. well, i think the bbc have a lot of problems i mean, you had newscasters and news people who left because they couldn't comment on news. emily maitlis tremendous. john andrew marr absolutely brilliant people, but the bbc got to stick to and they've got to hold to. on i'm certain that the chairman really does not get involved in day to day programmes is a sort of red heading. yeah, red herring rising right now and he was a tower. you don't . well you've tower. you don't. well you've kind of been all sorts of many people have changed parties. i mean, you know i don't know whose fault but it's just a red herring thrown in and they'll try and make somebody to go for

and is still under some sort of situation with against the side. but he was a friend of boris's. yes that's right. that's right. his race position is being reviewed and. i'm not sure he's got much of a case to answer . as got much of a case to answer. as you say, whoever is chairman of the bbc. it's historically often been quite politicised . it's been quite politicised. it's always a political appointment and it always has been. yeah. so it's fair enough. the tories have somebody they've known rishi sunak apparently knows him very well. yeah so i think it's sad if they go pundit less tomorrow because i was hoping we'd have about three more pundits. i mean there other footballers who could do this and maybe possibly a woman. well wouldn't that be. well it's gabby logan. that's alex scott. they do a brilliant job. yeah sure. and what about the bbc itself. do you think they're suffering? major reputational in the context of this story ? the context of this story? because many of my viewers and listeners been irritated by the bbc terms of their one notes

coverage during the pandemic and of course their coverage of brexit, which consider to have been against. well, i think there is a different view. i mean, you look at gary lineker, his house. it's lovely . it's in his house. it's lovely. it's in a very nice area. it's got lots of space. i think there are a lot of people who feel we're squashesin lot of people who feel we're squashes in ireland. we've take so many people, may i say we must always take who are running away from persecution . we must away from persecution. we must always this british always keep this british tradition. we have of saving people who are possibly going to be killed where they live . but be killed where they live. but this is not life that we know that many. i mean, that all to be men in the rain coming across on boats many of are from on these boats many of are from countries which are having no war, no problem just a sort of rather dowdy economy, maybe in in the summer, a third those in the summer, a third of those crossing were albanian. yep. so that can't . right. but i also that can't. right. but i also think that as a country we're we're turning our back on something very simple you may ask why does the french have this problem? the french have id

cards and i'm afraid in the world we live in now we should an id card which tells people who's here properly and who's here illegally . and that would here illegally. and that would probably sort the whole problem out . they've got their migrant out. they've got their migrant camps in calais, haven't they? and they've got my. but the migrant camps run in calais because those people do want to stay in france, they want to come here, they if a lot of people to france from countries that the french used to run like algeria in morocco they get the cart which is cold. i've forgotten now, but it's got a it's an accreditation card that says in the country you're legal , you can get money from the taxes if you need . there's the taxes if you need. there's the docks, you can use all the services that country . and most services that country. and most of all, you can work with that, can't just say, sure, that's what it's called competencies. you've had some the biggest jobs in the media. let's imagine for

one moment that you're the director general of the bbc. we can dream. gary lineker. do you back him or sack him? i think on this gary lineker says he will stop and i mean, stop using media to push case. and i'm not saying his case is wrong. i mean, i'm only worried this situation because i think it's going to take months and. we need to sort this out quite fast. and actually, tony blair and william hague did this idea. i mean, we all around with credit cards, we all walk with something that distinguishes. i was always against the idea of identity cards, but i think that would help. i mean, i think that would help. i mean, i think that would sort out who should be here and who shouldn't. oh, you always should be here because. we love having you on the program. e pollard back the program. e pollard back from the united look forward united states and look forward to the panel very to having you on the panel very soon. you. former editor, soon. thank you. former editor, the sunday mirror fleet legends, the sunday mirror fleet legends, the one only eve pollard . the one and only eve pollard. well, we've you on twitter

well, we've asked you on twitter . all gary lineker's, bbc colleagues. wrong or right to , colleagues. wrong or right to, stand in solidarity with them. well 57% say they're wrong. 43% give them their backing . well, give them their backing. well, look, lots more stories to get through. and let me tell you that in my take it ten it's all about harry and meghan and my march meets guest is coronation star and x factor shayne ward. lots to through. see you .

in three. welcome back to mark dolan tonight and our news agenda . now tonight and our news agenda. now we're going to discuss a very debate's and let's talk about about this a little bit because look, we need to gets up can can i just raise this issue of empty supermarket shelves jerry . hayes

supermarket shelves jerry. hayes the issue we have is that they are empty . we're so reliant on are empty. we're so reliant on supermarkets as an infrastructure with which to feed us. when i was growing up, you had the greengrocer full of vegetables and your fruit had the butcher and you had the fishmonger. all has gone fishmonger. all of that has gone out window. and now we're out the window. and now we're going hungry. i don't going hungry. well, i don't blame on brexit. not enough blame it on brexit. not enough blame it on brexit. not enough blame most things on brexit. but blame most things on brexit. but blame this. henry dimbleby come out interesting stuff . the out some interesting stuff. the founder of lee on the fast food chain. which actually is chain. yeah. which actually is quite a good place to have something to eat in the morning. now basically saying, look now he's basically saying, look what happens the what happens is the supermarkets. really supermarkets. really, really push prices of push down the prices of retailers and the people who produce the lettuce, tomatoes and all those sorts of things . and all those sorts of things. whereas the supermarkets say, well yeah, we do because we've a cost living crisis and we want things to be cheap in shops. simple, straightforward as that. in europe, they have different different rules and it's far more authoritarian. so i think cheap food get the old show, far

but cheap food a good thing at the moment. emma you think we should go back to the greengrocer the butcher and the fishmonger ? i think it's fishmonger? i think it's exhausting for a lot people to go and do the weekly shop with children, young families , busy children, young families, busy lives, whatever. so the idea of this lovely, idyllic kind of view, i mean, if you call it, you know what i mean? yeah. sort of pottering, getting a little side of i don't know, fillets of fishmonger, fishmonger. i'm getting getting some rosy apples and some broccoli from the thingy , then going to the next thingy, then going to the next one. it'sjust thingy, then going to the next one. it's just not feasible. but frankly, can just take issue with guys , you middle class with you guys, you middle class millionaire is talking about cheese cheap food in supermarkets . a lot of people supermarkets. a lot of people are seeing prices going up and up and up. yeah. and i'm not sure about this cheap food in supermarkets when inflation is going through the roof. food pfices going through the roof. food prices are one of the big, big, you know, pressures and increases people's bills at the moment. so it is it's a huge

fall in the household bill. so i'm is the sort of supermarket system well mean there system for us. well mean there is no the system is there. i mean you need supermarkets have destroyed the high streets. you know, there's no there's no butchers. there's no like you said, there's no greengrocers, etc. and i agree with you, like the cost of living crisis like yesterday i bought a can of beans sainsbury's their own cheap brand which is like 23 ppi and it has exactly the same as as high which is five times the price. so you know, i agree with you about talking about you cheap, cheap food. it's actually like it's a cost of living crisis and people relying on that food. you we've that cheap food. you know we've got opening left got food banks opening left right and centre. people use these food banks. so we're in these food banks. so we're in the saying like, the position to be saying like, oh, know, you know, their oh, you know, you know, their districts supermarkets, the districts supermarkets, the district their district that they are their supermarkets and will supermarkets there and they will fight nail to remain fight tooth and nail to remain there. whether there. like i don't know whether still relevant now but like £1 in every £7 spent in the uk was spentin in every £7 spent in the uk was spent in tesco's and up until recently. so i mean what's wrong

with cheap food. so yeah there's, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. so i think we would like, we would love this idyllic thing where, you know, people would know go down with their paper bag and say, i'll have, you know, say, oh, i'll have, you know, half for two half of balance sheets for two and that was a long time . and six. that was a long time. and those days right and those days are right about yeah, well, moving yeah, okay. well, look, moving on.and yeah, okay. well, look, moving on. and today marks 100 years since drinking age was since the drinking age was raised to 18 old. the raised to 18 years old. the influx getting liquor act was introduced in 1923 to encourage self—control and powers of resistance it was the first successful private member's bill brought forward by a female mp. but is this high enough should the age of drinking be raised to 21 now? of course. no, it's ridiculous i used to be a member of the outre colony rooms club, which you might just remember he went you'll two young girls that were born. but the fact is dreadful things but wonderful things used to happen there because the licencing laws in the early 1980s you couldn't get a drink after 230 so i'll soaps

like used to go with francis bacon all these other people into colony of the world i mean all the colony rooms club and that's where you could get a dnnk that's where you could get a drink now it has changed young people are still going to drink in fact, you don't drink at all, do you? no, but that's a bit different. you're a young person. i was chatting to a friend of mine about this yesterday . her 16 year old don't yesterday. her 16 year old don't dan.i yesterday. her 16 year old don't drink. i don't think young people drink for i shouldn't i shouldn't properly , but shouldn't say it properly, but it was part it was a rite of passage and. the reason i don't dnnk passage and. the reason i don't drink now is to do with just having a young child and blah blah, not being able to, because hangovers so bad when you're older. but i actually think i mean spent from about 14 to mean i spent of from about 14 to 24 just drunk or in pubs or in clubs, 14. yeah. you know, people honestly 16, 17 year olds, they don't drink , behave. olds, they don't drink, behave. yeah but it's really bad for you. i mean, drinking is bad for your development. isn't the message to wait till you're 21 a

good one. 21 just when i got to all the people who'd never really drunk or gone to pubs or lived from home, got there and got drunk every night very, very sick. and we're all out of control because. they hadn't had this culture also were given a little bit of wine with dinner. yeah. my parents from a very young age so but also 21 is as the same as in america. what's in mug ? what's the same as in america. what's in mug? what's in the same as in america. what's in mug ? what's in your in your mug? what's in your mouth? cancer is in my mug. looks like vodka to me . yeah, looks like vodka to me. yeah, sure. no say. basically, sure. there's no say. basically, the point like in america, it's 21 and then 21. you can you can drive, can own a gun, you can get married before you can have a drink, which absolute. but you go to a frat party america every sunday all of our controls in america often one of their one of their rites of passage, like you say, is 21 shots today because you're 21 danger levels of guy . yeah. yeah. well, yes. of a guy. yeah. yeah. well, yes. i mean, that's a show. i mean, he's like be oh they lie down and do that thing with chug. yeah, yeah. see the franchise in london and he's of people like

me out on a drunk gradual marathon have a lovely afternoon the young people just go shocked shocked shocked jock they're to the supermarket all the stuff and get horribly horribly drunk but they're food in the supermarket yeah well yeah true the cheap as well but it's all, it's all different. i mean most of my parliamentary career was a bit of a blur because the bars, there's so many just through the legislate scene you put through under the influence. it's all your fault, isn't it? it's all my fault . everything from 90, 83 my fault. everything from 90, 83 to 1997 blamed on joe, because you could have been at boris's lockdown. parties if you played. he probably was. we never had parties wild sadly not speaking of that's lanzarote his president has announced plans to shift the island's tourism model from dependence on british visitors . brits have apparently visitors. brits have apparently been dubbed low quality because they do not spend as much as big spending. germans, french and

dutch tourists. so all brits abroad, an embarrassment. sam well, having been abroad many times i mean, i went to i when i was aware of and, you know, pointed me all care and all of that jazz, i think i think obviously, you know, if you look at the likes of magaluf and stuff, you know, the brits are the ones you leading the way with, you know, getting pets out and a laugh. it's such and having a laugh. it's such but that is, you know, we have to deal bits of we like to deal with bits of we like britain. britain britain. justin is britain is a is a booze culture and that is and that that's just and and that and that's just and that's the way of and i that's just the way of and i don't think if you if you said the irish, for example, you know, you'd be you'd be hung, drawn, it's never drawn, quartered. so it's never going never going to happen. it's never going to happen. it's never going to happen. it's never going to the never going to change age drinking. oh, change the age of drinking. oh, well. up. yeah, well. hung, drawn up. yeah, yeah. this this crowd have yeah. this this crowd won't have it. happy. they want it. they're not happy. they want to drinking until they're to keep drinking until they're blotto. come blotto. we've got more to come in. ten. i'll be dealing in. my it ten. i'll be dealing with harry can't stand with harry and who can't stand the royal family are happy to call their daughter prince sas that's .

thanks, tatyana. we'll see you at 11. it's just gone . 10:00. my at 11. it's just gone. 10:00. my mark means guest is shayne ward , who became a household name when he won the second series of the x factor went on to have a christmas number one and even did a stint in coronation street. shayne ward coming up plus tomorrow's papers at exactly 1030 sharp with full panel reaction to get through. but first, my take . at ten a but first, my take. at ten a title says a lot doesn't it's a doctor is either a well read well—researched academic or somebody that can help you with a physical ailment. aye sir. a dame or a lady is , a venerated dame or a lady is, a venerated member of society whose contribution to one field or another charity the creative arts or industry , is worthy of arts or industry, is worthy of note or reward . you'd think, note or reward. you'd think, therefore, that any british princess was by allied to the royal cause. how confusing,

therefore, that the privacy obsessed self publicists harry and meghan should seek to burden their youngest child with the title princess a title so representative of an institution they clearly loathe , and one they clearly loathe, and one representative of a which they've clearly fallen out of love with , according to bill, love with, according to bill, who harry and according to his other half woke mono, the royal family are emotionally unfeeling , dishonest and duplicitous and potentially racist if they're so hostile to the family , the hostile to the family, the institution, why would they consign their youngest daughter to lifetime of royal obligation . well, i can think of a few million reasons why this couple always say one thing and do another. they demand privacy whilst going on chat and releasing tell all books . they releasing tell all books. they demand action on climate change whilst jetting around the world and they spend waking hour attacking the royal family whilst cashing in on the

prestige that the sussexes bnngs prestige that the sussexes brings them and so their youngest daughter who by the way is a beautiful child and we wish her every in her life going well it's not her fault i'm sure she's a terrific kid and will have a brilliant and constructive, but by christening her princess, her parents are signing up to a british tradition that claim to dislike much and which i thought they were leaving this . poor child's were leaving this. poor child's birth certificate littered with royal name drops . princess royal name drops. princess lilibet diana how they managed not to squeeze in henry , the not to squeeze in henry, the eighth queen victoria or elizabeth first is anyone's guess. elizabeth first is anyone's guess . it's elizabeth first is anyone's guess. it's obvious this couple wants to have their cake and eat it and they will never give up the royal gravy train, calling their daughter princess is shallow. it's cheap it's gold digging and it's utter double standards. you're either a royal or you're not. you can't half in, half out as this seem to think they can right now.

they're laughing at the institution. they're laughing at king charles, and they're laughing at the country whilst , laughing at the country whilst, laughing at the country whilst, laughing all the way to the bank. what a pair of bankers . i bank. what a pair of bankers. i think it's time for charles. call the bluff of this couple. he's already dumped them out of frogmore, which had me leaping for joy and i think now he forjoy and i think now he should dump them out of his family, tear up the invitation to the coronation and, make it clear they are no longer royals , even if they call themselves much. this couple who have willingly departed the royal family and hate the monarchy so much , have no right to be much, have no right to be calling their prince and princess. it's a breach of the trades act . they are no more trades act. they are no more prince and princess than i am the fifth beatle. it's time world's most entitled couple lost their royal titles . now,

lost their royal titles. now, what do you think? constitution law experts would argue that harry meghan's children automatically become prince and princess. so it is their birthright. the would argue they were hounded out this country by an aggressive and an uncaring household . they've raised a lot household. they've raised a lot of money for charity and consistently used their platform to help others less fortunate than themselves. that's what they would argue. but what's your view mark at gbnews.uk anyway? here is someone that does deserve a royal title . take does deserve a royal title. take a look at this. it is prince edward, the brand duke of edinburgh, a humble , hard edinburgh, a humble, hard working doesn't cause any trouble for the royal family. he deserves that title . reacting to deserves that title. reacting to my take a ten we have a fantastic selection of geniuses criminal barrister and former conservative mp gerry hayes, author and political commentator to emma wolf and journalist and broadcaster dowler, some let me start with you . they're not

start with you. they're not royals as far as i'm concerned . royals as far as i'm concerned. therefore, they shouldn't have the titles and they shouldn't have an invitation to the coronation. well well , they have coronation. well well, they have been excommunicated . also, been excommunicated. also, royals obviously , harry is still royals obviously, harry is still second in line to the throne. and we can't deny that no matter . he has done . yes, i do think . he has done. yes, i do think they should . an invitation to they should. an invitation to coronation. i think they should come and they will come. as for calling their daughter princess, i mean, i, i mean, katie price said that as well. princess to me doesn't make her a princess. but i think that them , you know, but i think that them, you know, they it's such a complicated situation and obviously know charles and william have tried to reach out and they had them and they had the christening this week and obviously the boys couldn't go. it was going to one of those situations where i think invite somebody knowing that can't come. is it that they can't come. is it a battle ? of course it is. but battle? of course it is. but i think especially in britain, it's me included, i want to see

some sort of you know, i want to see them come together again. i think it's i think it's incredibly sad and, you know, and i you know, i and i feel for harry in certain aspects as well. but you need like he's he's had a very charmed life. and i think he's been and i think know he's been sucked whirlwind of sucked into this whirlwind of like money. and i and his like making money. and i and his his his collateral is speaking about his family. and i think i think of the frogs . it was think of the frogs. it was a necessary evil because it's a house like, you know, lying empty and i don't know, it's just a messy and i just wish it wasn't happening especially so soon after the queen died. and i think, you know, they should come to the coronation. and i want to see some sort like forgiveness on both sides. emma wolf, don't like the royal wolf, they don't like the royal family. don't the family. they don't like the monarchy, like britain, monarchy, don't like britain, except they've called their daughter princess couldn't make it up. you couldn't make it out absolutely . absolutely absolutely ludicrous. absolutely ludicrous. left out and yet ludicrous. they left out and yet they still want to be part of it. they still want i mean they will come to the coronation.

sounds right. i'm sure they'll come to the coronation but i don't think they should have been . as calling been invited. as for calling their daughter princess, lilibet, it's beyond lilibet, diana, it's beyond parody, really . i mean, to call parody, really. i mean, to call them kind of is a polite way of putting it. but basically that wildly hypocritical. they are coining it in from their royal status. that's huge . and of status. that's huge. and of course, that's huge in america . course, that's huge in america. they're going to talk endlessly , need to find some other kind of revenue stream or income stream or whatever because they are going to this is going to wear very quickly sniping. i mean, the nastiness the nastiness of prince harry's memoir, spare . i think i think memoir, spare. i think i think we have to call a halt to these proceedings and stop giving them air time that they so was pretty great. it's one thing with the americans already , i mean, like americans already, i mean, like he was, for goodness sakes, he was diagnosed live on television and is harassment and it was thug and that's just so much overshare when obviously it's a

family the loathe that sort of behaviour and he's the son of the king england that's the thing he's not just going on about his miserable i mean jerry jerry hayes legally unconstitutionally these children become prince and princess so are we being a bit hard on the sussexes do you know 7 hard on the sussexes do you know ? i don't really care . i ? i don't really care. i honestly don't really care . honestly don't really care. harry's obviously a troubled child, obviously walking behind coffin of his is dead is a terrible thing . i'm but really terrible thing. i'm but really why is it being so unpleasant? the king who seemed reasonably and he seems a very nice bloke doing his best to hold the family together but this obsession now it's quite interesting actually happening interesting actually happening in america when south park start taking the mick out of you, you know , you are in real trouble. know, you are in real trouble. and let me just tell you a little exclusive thing. my daughter is a princess. she married a russian aristocrat . married a russian aristocrat. obviously never been to russia in his life. neither his dad,

his grandfather went to paris, left moscow. gosh, i know years ago. she never uses title because she doesn't care. and most people don't care either. i thought you could live me because you're the queen. oh oh, let me know your thoughts. market gb news uk. should the couple be at the coronation are they guilty of hypocrisy or i being too hard on the market? gb news .uk looking forward to my mark meets guest who is next. it's shayne ward, star of x. he won it, of course, few years ago.the won it, of course, few years ago. the second series, then street hit records . he's a very street hit records. he's a very successful guy and he tells story after this .

signed for music . so always signed for music. so always being there, irish music contributed . so probably from contributed. so probably from the age of four, five, i think . the age of four, five, i think. did you have to get up and perform for family at christmas ? well, there was so many of it was it was quite a battle and basically there would be massive sink or swim different bedrooms and one would have to give up and one would have to give up and sing the song from the other bedroom. so, yeah, it was always a competition going on. so listen, very credible. listen, you're very credible. did have apprehend about did you have any apprehend about signing up for x factor, given the fact that it's a tv ? not at the fact that it's a tv? not at all. i think for me, i was told i was 21 years old. i've just been signed to a massive record label and i have the christmas number one set for me. it was like everything happened so fast as you really got time to think about 17 years later, because that's how long it's been. it's amazing to kind of reflect on everything i've done since everything that i've done since i'm still no think for me. i think it's a great opportunity. it's a fantastic platform , and i

it's a fantastic platform, and i think with social media, social now you know yourself, it's huge . so you can actually you don't have to go on these shows anymore. you can just use a different platform. now, i stand by. i think it's great. how did you adapt to fame ? i have a very you adapt to fame? i have a very strong irish mammy too. kind of keeps me on my toes. i got one of the literally and she's five foot nothing but no shoes. i think for me i've always had a strong team around me in terms of family and friends. yeah, i just avoided the people and stuck to, you know , real people stuck to, you know, real people and so far, so good. yeah i'd never be so vulgar as to ask about money, but was it a good deal about money, but was it a good deal, you know, after you of signed signed that that that record deal with psycho and simon cowell was it profits all. i think looking back in general the initial it's £1,000,000 contract you're like, wow £21 million you then over time get

to learn the industry and realise that that million pounds for the whole campaign music videos , touring , taxis , videos, touring, taxis, basically sandwiches everybody. yeah, exactly. sandwiches everything. and then basically you kind of make your money on the tours. i started bread and butter , so i think you instantly butter, so i think you instantly move past it because, you know, you can start money whilst touring live. so yeah, and listen, one of the hardest things is to keep that momentum going after winning a show like x factor, you achieve that . so x factor, you achieve that. so how do you keep it going? what was of your success? was the secret of your success? because it's all too easy to be a one hit wonder, isn't it? yeah, i think in general, i always feel very, very blessed. but just like as all, we all work hard. and sometimes it can be not, you know, sometimes it might be the right person that you've in front of for you've walked in front of for also belief than anything , also belief more than anything, just know that you are good at what you do and you know something eventually good will happen for .

this is such a massive big deal andisnt this is such a massive big deal and isn't weird how the froth is so much more than the substance . the fact of the small boats policy didn't get nearly this much and is actually quite important . much and is actually quite important. but gary lineker tweeting, it's like the lockdown files, the amount of outrage over isabel oakeshott's releasing of these hundreds of thousands of tweets got . so much thousands of tweets got. so much more coverage than the issue itself , which is that the itself, which is that the government base quickly lied to us, us manipulated behaviour. actually no exact about sustained exacerbated it. yeah i finish. yeah yeah that was the issue and in fact it was all about oh well isabel shouldn't have done that isabel this point missing the point. have done that isabel this point missing the point . this whole missing the point. this whole thing is totally excessive. who cares but it has, it has everything that the brits love its showbiz is its sport. it's the government. i mean, like what more are about? because

most of the people want their fussed about they won't know they just know it's a guy here's my problem with your walker he might be nice because i think very that he might drop for you the reason why think that his his tweets have been problematic not just invoking the second world war in i think is in poor taste and offensive jewish people. but but the issue is that he is effectively calling the population racist. yes this this new policy this law, it may or may not work. this new policy this law, it may or may not work . the illegal or may not work. the illegal migration act, however, it's . by migration act, however, it's. by over 50% of the vote in population, will have whom gary lineker is calling racist and what, whereas, supported by half the of the the population a, lot of the electorate really care about controlling it, but it's not. and i no know the latest polling says that just 16% of the population are completely against this policy. so it popular support and. gary lineker is saying to all those

people you are racists . i don't people you are racists. i don't think he is. i think he's expressing his personal views because i'm, you know, there's they their bbc, they're on the wrong side of the european court . human rights, for example. it seems to be such, you know, that there's been no decision and also what sowell has said about invasion and what you said, about 100 million people coming over it was over whenever you think it was there wasn't. so sowell there wasn't. so what sowell saying actually resonates with , saying actually resonates with, i know this is unpalatable for you , but it resonates with a lot you, but it resonates with a lot of people and the thing is, twitter is not normal people. no, it is not twitter . twitter is not normal people. no, it is not twitter. gary lineker is talking to a certain group on twitter. yeah group of people on twitter. yeah people are agreeing a lot more with what rishi sunak and suella braverman are trying to send. it's more trying to do action from the tories . well, i wonder from the tories. well, i wonder if it's is why did they still one? they saw other detention centres , the uk fires before centres, the uk fires before they stop that they start

getting issues mixed up. so it is going to be like, oh, recall that. i mean you're a forward former the tories quids former mp, all the tories quids because all we've talked about for the last three days is this policy of stopping the boats. yeah, good for the prime yeah, the are good for the prime minister terms of those who minister in terms of those who support this policy and it's now in news for and days in the news for days and days and yeah. i mean rishi and days. yeah. i mean rishi sunak is a decent man. sunak i think is a decent man. he's honest . everything that he's honest. everything that bofis he's honest. everything that boris isn't, he's boris johnson isn't, he's honest, decent, aloof. boris johnson it for his pants. i mean , cares? boris johnson is a , who cares? boris johnson is a crook. i've known him for 30 years, he's totally and years, and he's totally and utterly dishonest. totally utterly dishonest. he's totally debased in this country. liz truss , was it liz truss. yeah, truss, was it liz truss. yeah, she was so a complete and utter disaster. crushed the economy with kwasi kwarteng you someone who looks at the detail, look at article 35, all the trans and the rest of it. yeah you looked at it laws in the northern ireland protocol he looks at the look at this he's having crack at it whether it works i don't know whether it's in breach of isa. we do not know everyone.

the only half . so i think. no, the only half. so i think. no, i think you're a lawyer you'll appreciate this. i think calling bofis appreciate this. i think calling boris johnson a crook is a bit harsh, but we can be harsh. we thoroughly dishonest . you get thoroughly dishonest. you get when you drink guinness entitled to your opinion. thank you. but. but politically, do you think political aspect does it help the tories because keeps their story in the new it does i mean this that's why someone every front page because it it tickles the sort of interests of lots of people one bbc lot tories. i like the bbc i think they're great actually and i don't i do think erin partial bar the hate is the bbc which shows you how you know anti tore they are and all the rest of it and then there's the other people who just sort of say what gary lineker you know what's he know is a football so actually that's it's on every front page it's interesting and you've got it right i think it actually rishi sunakin right i think it actually rishi sunak in probably every wrong way because majority of people

watch this channel. i know they're not necessarily mainstream. a lot of people obviously your show and rightly so . however, you know , it's so. however, you know, it's going to it's going to touch people in a way they're going to say, oh, rishi sunak might just be right. yeah. i mean, the bbc don't a star presenter that picks a fight with half of the population that's my point timberwolf. yeah exactly. i think we have to acknowledge that the point about this as well is that the bbc is funded by the licence fee that's what people are talking about that he shouldn't be expressing opinions people are talking about that he shotwhen be expressing opinions people are talking about that he shotwhen be expr supposed nions people are talking about that he shotwhen be expr supposed to ns people are talking about that he shotwhen be expr supposed to be this when they're supposed to be impartial and neutral and he's not neutral and he's not impartial. and also he's a sports presenter in terms of our football. so this is what this this time. are you running out of ways which to defend? gary lineker this is hell. he's choosing to die , basically. choosing to die, basically. i think i'm and he will die. i think i'm and he will die. i think you know, i think to survive. i think he'll be fine. but if he doesn't survive in the bbc, he will do as well elsewhere. if not, he will be at tony by touchable. as i said

earlier principles earlier, principles after support against. i'm tired of it. do you like the beeb? i do, i well i think make gary lineker is damaging the beeb. yes. and |, is damaging the beeb. yes. and i, he's, he's putting critics of the beeb a stick with which to beat. yes. he's in a very difficult position. they they obviously keep , but at obviously want to keep, but at the same time, they can't be seen do anything. so they seen to not do anything. so they have to so they have to they have to so they have to they have to so they have to they have to obviously tie him even if for match the if just briefly for match of the day. if just briefly for match of the day you other share got you the other two share and isn't she won't do it isn't it right she won't do it well amazes me is that really struggling to find people to stand do it tomorrow. stand and i'll do it tomorrow. i mean i clashes with mean i think clashes with something yeah, think something else. yeah, i think about i do actually about sport. i do actually output a liverpool oh god. but isn't it funny that their to find people to jump . well find other people to jump. well i think it would be hilarious over no presenters tomorrow over me. no presenters tomorrow would if it gets would be fantastic if it gets like a sort commentary. yeah. but also. but it'll be difficult because whoever takes the chair will be like, oh, so agree. so you you know they won't you so you know they won't

change. yeah. it's a very . okay, change. yeah. it's a very. okay, so becoming difficult for so it's becoming difficult for the bbc because obviously it's like, know, you're a scab like, you know, you're a scab when you cross. m yeah, yeah, yeah. you're scottish be difficult that . as a young difficult for that. as a young sports presenter, say sports presenter, i would say yeah off networks and they yeah i'll off networks and they said they should say let's have a woman is it is it any surprise that campbell as former that alastair campbell as former director over and also alan shearer ian wright they're all behind lineker they all the media and political watchers they agree with him which is not they agree with him which is not the but also they are intimidated insulated from the impacts of an influx of migrants just the country to the migrant . this is what i was trying to say earlier. it's very easy to preach. you are a very, very i mean, living in alan's word. oh he's live in st john's wood. you know, you got an umbrella because it's snowing a little bit. so how is you out to bit. and so how is you out to someone? carries you out practically on a sedan chair out to your chauffeured limo. he's not he's not living the real

world, not living in sheppey or in jaywick or in. yes, you're carlo , you know what i mean? carlo, you know what i mean? he's been in the impact and what any this what a gift to the enemies of the bbc. nadine that arrogance that . we all ought to. arrogance that. we all ought to. she presents the show . was it so she presents the show. was it so he had to be. oh the enemy. i mean, you listen to it. forget about her. oh, forget about and have struck off, philip. but the thing is, i this is, i think with with the tories, this is very much a deflection because they know that. they know they're and they like they're out and they like this. this doing next. last this what she's doing next. last i to do something meaningful i do to do something meaningful and silly. and if you like, if you stop boats which which she will not but it's so it's just they you know obviously the country country is falling country the country is falling apart. every other is apart. i mean, every other is falling. aspect you need falling. every aspect you need the boats. the boats really, really quite low down most people. fraser your from your from the willing city intelligentsia , the literati are intelligentsia, the literati are trying to was really if only

look at lots more to come more. lineker we've also got the waiting in the wings more from pages including tomorrow's independent with a fascinating story when also be asking is still a stigma about going topless in britain and do we have a problem disagreeing each other in modern life but we got independent other papers next cigarette have .

welcome back to the show we've got the papers with my brilliant guests criminal barrister and former tory gerry hayes, author and political commentator emma wolfe and journalist and broadcaster sam . let's take broadcaster sam. let's take another front page hot off the press and it's the independent and they lead with gary lineker red carded bbc star steps back from match of the day until new agreement reached on his social

media and little bromance . but media and little bromance. but where's the beef? sunak and macron are all smiles, handshakes, back rubs. but one really big question remains what britain really get out of handing france £500 million to solve the small boats crisis ? i solve the small boats crisis? i wouldn't mind raising this topic you if i could. gerry hayes. wouldn't mind raising this topic you if i could. gerry hayes . as you if i could. gerry hayes. as a criminal barrister. i've spoken to a couple of lawyers who say that his to stop the boats within the commons will will not legally legally effective it's not legally fit for purpose. what's your view? can rishi sunak stop the boats ? can rishi sunak stop the boats? answers we don't know. we really don't know. and again, i keep on repeating this because people don't seem to get it that the european of human rights european court of human rights only to parliament take only says to parliament take account of lots of advisory. it's advice. all right. can we ignore it? yes, because other eu member states ignore the echr all the time , don't they? of all the time, don't they? of course they do. so we do remember prisoners rights to vote no. yeah but what happened

? absolutely nothing. so you said we have to exit the convention on human rights, not you look terrible. russia did it all. these other people did it. and it was. well on. it was actually drafted by british lawyers. it supported by winston and which went like, you know, the right to have a fair trial, the right to have a fair trial, the is the issue. the human rights act of 1998 under tony blair is that is that what scuppered it for us in terms of deciding what's always down. i and the human rights act has been , you know, human rights been, you know, human rights abuses. yes, i know. because people who should know better. well getting rid of terrorists from the country . example, known from the country. example, known terrorists and expatriates. no, the reason terrorists are sometimes stopped by lawyers is because there's loopholes . the because there's loopholes. the law, as do the ehcr . and people law, as do the ehcr. and people don't get it . so what do you don't get it. so what do you think? can rishi sunak the

boats? i think he's got the best chance of anyone . i can't say chance of anyone. i can't say that he will. immigration has always been out of control in this country. i mean, the big thing that people worried about, particularly the red wall seats, were people coming to take jobs or undercutting a bit of a myth. but it was it's a big big, big thing in people's minds. small boats. oh, that was quite interesting. you had that lawyer on. yeah. yeah, he was lawyer on and he told me some which i hadnt and he told me some which i hadn't appreciate it that in fact the number of migrants coming in illegally it's no from the lorries except with lorries. you didn't see it did you. see. much more visible. so was that was something we all learned today. i do, yeah. on the sunak not stupid is he. and then he's politically astute as well. he wouldn't this if he wouldn't pick this if he couldn't it's terms of couldn't win. it's terms of skills. he wouldn't pledge half billion pounds of money. yeah and this wasn't going to be. so the question is, you know, what is he up to? what looks like for rishi sunak in terms of stopping the boats just getting some kind

of bilateral with france? i think the french know better bilateral agreement is off the table. it has to be the eu. that's what macron said. that's what they all want because. they're taking more immigrants. can i do? ijust they're taking more immigrants. can i do? i just finish? can i do? can i just finish? sorry yeah, i think he some kind of agreement with france and by extension, with the eu right. to stop them there . i think that stop them there. i think that your lawyer earlier made that point they need to be stopped there or or they need to know sorry i hate to say they as though they're just this unidentified mass of people but migrants are not coming here migrants who are not coming here as refugees know that as refugees need to know that the minute they get here, they'll to go back. they'll just have to go back. it's crossing, i would it's a fun crossing, i would imagine. is utterly imagine. so if it is utterly pointless coming and they're going be so. then again, going to be so. but then again, he made the point it's he also made the point that it's a very, very long coastline and there were many sand dunes and there were many sand dunes and there ways of coming there are many ways of coming across. the. also have across. so it's the. i also have to wonder whether it's a numbers game and if by the next election numbers are down to 20 or 30 a day, what the public tell you

that this is the point. it's a political move. and it's last move to make a difference. that's why that's why these gary lineker thinks he's a harsh know the respects my mum about earlier and she that she's tory through and through and she was like it does look harsh on paper and it it does seem that way and the thing is the thing is that this is the only think he can do because he he's going to because he knows he's going to lose it's just that it's got five got five key objectives. he's got it's how how he's going to it's just how how he's going to lose by. and this is and this is one of the things that you said if does if does actually if he does if it does actually end up reducing numbers, then he might people feel might get a few people feel strongly this. they really might get a few people feel stro even this. they really might get a few people feel stro even in this. they really might get a few people feel stro even in the this. they really might get a few people feel stro even in the landlockedeally might get a few people feel stro even in the landlocked of .y do. even in the landlocked of the you must get that the country. you must get that from your 100. yeah. yeah so from all your 100. yeah. yeah so if i turned up in america without correct paperwork without the correct paperwork and you know, and hadn't done my, you know, what they called easy, blah, what are they called easy, blah, blah, things you're blah, all the things you're meant wouldn't meant to do. i wouldn't be allowed no, no. the allowed in. no, no. said the said. that's right. allowed in. no, no. said the said. that's right . visa also. said. that's right. visa also. does have rules we have does gary have rules we have laws and do do those who are backing him live in a community

impacted by an influx of migrants or possibly hundreds of people accommodated in a people living accommodated in a migrant hotel. what does that do to a small community for example in st john's . well yeah was a in st john's. well yeah was a joke where we expect perhaps where should be accommodated now writer george monbiot published an article on russell brand today in the guardian that hasn't pull any punches once as his hero of the year now claims brand wastes his talent and has crossed the line into the realm of conspiracy. it even goes as far as to state if politics takes a very dark turn in the next few years, it will be partly as result of people like russell . so has russell brand russell. so has russell brand lost the plot or have we lost ability to disagree with others ? sam ivey has lost the plot. i mean, you only need to cast your mind back a few years. when he was in massive hollywood movies , married to katy perry and then and then now he's he's you know , he's on his youtube channel. it's about conspiracy theories.
