4:16 pm
now if you say you don't want i would want to be in that so that's what i feel every ex—footballer i know would love that job. course they would that job. of course they would be. they'll be going against gary then. against he said. gary then. against what he said. well, you would. you would be. yeah have out saying yeah and the pfa have out saying that you know none of the managers after the matches can talk to the bbc , pfa which is talk to the bbc, pfa which is like the unions , the football. i like the unions, the football. i mean it's such a, it's such a mess, it is a huge mess, but it's something, it's quite close to. gary's taught me he's he has hosted two refugees in his home for two for two weeks and another one of his . i get it. another one of his. i get it. but i do what it's like living you know he's in his multi—million pound house in leafy bounds. what it's next to be. yeah a hotel that is full and crap. migrants just carry you. don't. he doesn't like the language of the bill. he doesn't. he doesn't like spelling reference. and nor do i. don't think it's helpful i. i don't think it's helpful i don't that's saying about don't think that's saying about 100 people becoming. yeah. but so like it's obviously it's
4:17 pm
so it's like it's obviously it's a mistake why we're listening to gary lineker why is gary lineker relevant to this political conversation . gary lineker works conversation. gary lineker works for the bbc . i worked for the for the bbc. i worked for the bbc. i know full well, even though i wasn't a newsy. newsy. although there was one element when did do a lot of news but when i did do a lot of news but then i was more radio. so we just had a slightly looser dispense and i also just dispense and i was also just like him a freelancer. and i said something and in said something and i was in trouble and not that lost two trouble and not that i lost two shows and one i said i was on another media else because obviously single was obviously with my single was enough to for me to carry on enough to pay for me to carry on working couldn't enough to pay for me to carry on woriwork couldn't enough to pay for me to carry on woriwork for couldn't enough to pay for me to carry on woriwork for them couldn't enough to pay for me to carry on woriwork for them alone. ldn't enough to pay for me to carry on woriwork for them alone. so 't just work for them alone. so i am not happy to see him getting away with and i was actually quite annoyed that it's taken this i don't think he this long. yes i don't think he really cares by the looks really cares by the by the looks of i don't think i think of things. i don't think i think he's put on. but this is he's put it on. but this is going to this is the hill that he's chosen to die on. and if it means they let him go from the bbc he will find it incredibly easy. go to sky or let's go to tv. they will pay a fortune. tv. they will pay him a fortune. so i don't know that so not i don't know about that i think he's going to
4:18 pm
think he's he's going to pubuchy think he's he's going to publicity podcasts and things. i don't think he'll to now you don't think he'll go to now you know that's what any of the know but that's what any of the other networks and channels he could roof. could sing from the roof. exactly that exactly does it matter that works for that's in his works for bbc that's in his contract. we are paying his wages. okay. yeah, think wages. okay. yeah, i think he might. be the end of might. it might be the end of the line at the bbc for gary because is is because this is this is obviously caused them a huge problem it's cause they're problem and it's cause they're scheduling whole scheduling a whole massive problem lose them problem which will lose them viewers would like viewers as well. they would like to like those who to see i'd like to see those who went in support as well also went out in support as well also gone because i think there's a big void of new talent within the bbc. that time, they the bbc. at that time, they started in, getting started filling in, getting rid of so if they're of the old stock. so if they're going go of their own accord, it's the bbc getting quite good at getting of older one. at getting rid of the older one. let them go still. god is crisp adverts what keep go adverts and what keep i can i go right so are your thoughts on it. you're with me i'm not aware this is a good use on tv online and on digital radio in the next hour, and on digital radio in the next hour , matt will give us hour, matt letitia will give us his views on gary lineker his views on the gary lineker saga. his views on the gary lineker saga . but after the break, it's saga. but after the break, it's our great debate. the sound i'm asking , should the

4:23 pm
good afternoon. it's coming to 23 minutes after 4:00. this is gb news are the people's channel. i'm not quitter. it's time now for our great british debate this hour. and i'm asking , should the bbc has suspended gary lineker? the bbc's match of the day presenter mr. lineker was suspended yesterday. now following his tweets if you only if you didn't know it. where have you it's when he have you been? it's when he compared government's latest compared the government's latest migration germany migration to thirties germany in. the tweet, he said there is a huge influx. we take far fewer refugees and other major european countries. this is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people. in language, it is not dissimilar to that used by germany in the thirties and. i'm out of order , i'd say. you all, out of order, i'd say. you all, gary. now a series of stories in britain's the bbc demanding an
4:24 pm
independent investigation launched as they don't think that the suspension is enough. his suspension has split the pubuc. his suspension has split the public . the his suspension has split the public. the daily mirror petition calling the bbc to reinstate the presenter has already reached 150,000 signatures with various other across the bbc pulling out of presenting football shows this afternoon . well, he's got a lot afternoon. well, he's got a lot more money than you. so good luck with that. that's all in protest to his suspension so the great british debate this out i'm asking you should the bbc get suspended. gary lineker first let's head over to gb news is reporter jack carson. he's live from the bbc hq. jack, there many . what's what's there are many. what's what's latest? give us a brief update . latest? give us a brief update. well, what we've had is actually a bit of a resumption of sports coverage on the bbc. bbc five life have started live match commentary of the leeds united and brighton game. but ian, dennis said that it's been a tough day . he said it's also tough day. he said it's also a very difficult time for bbc personally. today i found it
4:25 pm
very difficult, but i'm a bbc staff , i'm a very difficult, but i'm a bbc staff, i'm a radio commentator. bbc five live and today, like every saturday afternoon , we every saturday afternoon, we provide a service to you , the provide a service to you, the audience. but we've also seen a leaked email inside the bbc sport from the director of sport, barbara slater, which saying to bbc staff that they understand how unsettling this is for all of you. and we understand strength of feeling which has been generated by this issue . the bbc itself has issue. the bbc itself has apologised for the lack of sports programming today course. we know when this rule kicked off late this after late this often it while late yesterday afternoon when pundits started boycotting and saying they wouldn't appear on programmes the bbc's had to cancel final today football focus after presenters and pundits said they wouldn't appear. and as you mentioned what we've seen from from politicians we've had keir starmer say this is going very badly for the bbc and those bencher group of mps are part of a common sense group led by sir john hayes calling on gary
4:26 pm
lineker for a full apology . and lineker for a full apology. and so there is a start of resumption of sports coverage on the bbc. but the big, of course, is what match of the day tonight is what match of the day tonight is going to look like, because we've had the commentators say they're not going comment they're not going to comment on any there's going any of the games there's going to no present, presenting to be no present, no presenting no punditry comment no punditry analysis, no comment writers. match of the writers. so what match of the day like is going day looks like tonight is going to be a big question for the bbc. thank you very much, jack. who needs to that now? you who needs to watch that now? you can watch coverage at can just watch our coverage at patrick christys . we'll be patrick christys. we'll be giving wonderful special giving you a wonderful special edition a kind of match of edition of a kind of match of the day here now . it was the day here now. it was interesting what he said. one of the things i take from that the things i did take from that was, the mention service he was, the mention of a service he said a service. that's why said is a service. that's why it's about ego. well joining it's not about ego. well joining me now the campaign director me now is the campaign director of bbc, ryan, of defund the bbc, rebecca ryan, former chief media adviser former ofcom chief media adviser campbell, bbc 100 and campbell, bbc 100 fellow and author marcus . collins, author marcus. collins, political commentator and lib dem spin doctor joe. phillips. dem spin doctorjoe. phillips. right, so an interestingly written list that talked to these people about this and some
4:27 pm
have this is going to start rolling nights from listening to start with you. rebecca ryan defund the bbc. talk to me rebecca your thoughts on this was bbc right to suspend gary absolutely he was wrong to suspend gary the bbc is obliged under the terms of its charter to , be impartial and to the to, be impartial and to the country. that's what it is actually legally obliged to do in order that it can tax the british people for watching any live from broadcast tv. this is a fundamental tenant of how the bbc is funded that was really disturbing that gary lineker and all of his extremely privileged colleagues that understand the bafic colleagues that understand the basic tenant on which the bbc funding is built and if they want to carry on the not free speech that i'm a great supporter of. free speech absolutely should be able to do that on a commercial broadcast. but he can't do that but you know, he can't do that whilst the is funded by the whilst the bbc is funded by the licence well thank for licence fee. well thank for that. well i kind of stand you on that one and it's going to former ofcom chief media adviser martin campbell. martin what do
4:28 pm
you think about that? would they write ? yeah, absolutely. they write? yeah, absolutely. they were right . write? yeah, absolutely. they were right. but write? yeah, absolutely. they were right . but the write? yeah, absolutely. they were right. but the problem is they should have done it a long time . let's put their foot on time. let's put their foot on this many ago, when they realised that he was breaking their impartiality rules because their impartiality rules because the impartiality rules do talk specific vaguely about high profile bbc people . well, profile bbc people. well, there's none higher profile than gary lineker . and there's that. gary lineker. and there's that. there's absolutely no point , no there's absolutely no point, no reason why they shouldn't have acted before. now they've now they've acted . and of course, they've acted. and of course, you've got this strange solidarity thing going on. watson what should solid with the idea that anyone working from the bbc say whatever they want or is it solidarity with his views that he expressed to me it makes i mean it's a real mess but it's of the bbc are making and it just shows what they're internal compliance procedure like it's a bit ad hoc
4:29 pm
it marcus collins political commentator and former and been marcus collins your thoughts . marcus collins your thoughts. yeah i mean i think i would agree that it's a big mess. i think we can all see that. but think we can all see that. but think that although we don't and shouldn't expect lineker to be impartial . i shouldn't expect lineker to be impartial. i think the bbc is impartial. i think the bbc is impartial in suspending him is called into question especially given what they have done yesterday with the programme produced by david attenborough . produced by david attenborough. i think that bbc is pandering to the government and that is the contravention of impartiality we should be talking about. but why would you say the penny to the government? he's made a political comment. he's not meant to making political comment. is that pandering comment. how is that pandering to government ? well, tim to the government? well, tim davie came in as director general saying that he wanted to institute guidelines for impartiality. i think the
4:30 pm
implication of that was really trying to bog off the government was threatening the bbc existence and so i don't think that a sports commentator his political views on neither here nor there is perfectly able to express as a private citizen which is what he's done he's not talking about this on match of the day and expecting that that doesn't make any difference it doesn't make any difference it doesn't make a difference in cuts. no, no, it doesn't make any difference. i just totally out. marcus mccarthy and not because it doesn't make any difference whether he was on the match of the day saying it or somewhere else it goes the board joe phillips well i would split with you now. no, because actually it doesn't across the board news presenters , as you board news presenters, as you know, are on a much stricter rules and regulations about what they might rather than entertainment or sports presenter if he'd gone on match
4:31 pm
of the day and said the things he'd said then i could absolutely understand the bbc doing this but what you can't have is this pick and mix of what now looks as mark has just said, whether it's true or not. the perception is now that the bbc has bowed to political pressure at the same time. lord alan sugar and baroness alan brady, both tory peers , carry on brady, both tory peers, carry on on the apprentice island sugar endorsed the tories in 2019 election and backed boris johnson for the leadership well. you've just contradicted just you just you just contradict yourself because bbc who's not quiet who is you know tory donor and facility hated a meeting which led to boris johnson getting a loan of £800,000 each going to say you just contradict yourself on one side. you said that it's totally different for sports presenter and news presenter. then on the other hand, you brought in sir alan sugar and used it as an example.
4:32 pm
so confused to the bottom so i'm confused to the bottom line i know i. have you ever line is i know i. have you ever worked the bbc ? just out of worked for the bbc? just out of interests. well , me too. interests. i am well, me too. and i. when work for the and when i. when i work for the bbc, though i wasn't news. bbc, though i wasn't in news. news, two things because news, i lost two things because i a comment. i made a comment. another channel, even bbc , channel, not even the bbc, because it breached because they felt it breached their impartiality guidelines. so working them at so i wasn't working for them at the to political programmes the time to political programmes and there was richard was something that i exactly as a freelance were not exactly and i was a freelance you know. so yes i that but i was working on news and politics programme. gary lineker isn't nor is alan sugar and he wasn't you can't criticise what what the bbc have done, they've handled so badly because it as though they're caving in to political because they haven't people like alan sugar or karren brady and. the question still remains about richard john tory donor you know bombed in as a chairman been notably silent but a lot of the time they always have political
4:33 pm
who are affiliated the of party who's in power with the people who's in power with the people who were in power at the time. that's just not even that's not even that's not even unusual. rebekah what do you think? because seem giving because people seem be giving gary excuse gary lineker an excuse absolutely . and i think the absolutely. and i think the thing they're talking about how they get all of this politicisation of the bbc what it comes to down is british people are being bullied on their and by quasi their doorsteps and by a quasi civilities that are threatening them out like bills them coming out like red bills with threats of being sent with the threats of being sent to put to fund this to prison, put to fund this organisation and, it is obliged under its charter to be impartial. that's what comes down to all of this, of tit for tat, you know, what about trade that's going on here and going on across the country from the left and right? at the end left and the right? at the end of day it has to be of the day it has to be impartial. and it's impartial. and if it's not impartial, which we know that it isn't. and we need to get of the tv at the end of the tv licence. at the end of the day, bbc to be commercial. day, bbc needs to be commercial. yeah. marcus, you yeah. and marcus, what would you say the bbc needs to be say to that the bbc needs to be commercial there is a tv licence and about 20 seconds to be
4:34 pm

4:41 pm
germany which is just nonsense . germany which is just nonsense. and i see he's a tory mp have written to the bbc demanding that independent investigation be launched as they think the suspension is enough and don't think so either. however his suspension has split the public . i don't think so. most places i've gone, most people can't him. the daily mirror petition has called for the bbc to reinstate the presenter and it's already reached 150,000 signatures with various bbc football presenters pulling out of hosting their football shows. this afternoon. although some are now resuming sensible well they've come back to their senses. i think bills to pay and gary's on 1.35 million. yep so if the greek parties debate this houn if the greek parties debate this hour, i'm asking, should the bbc have suspended gary lineker? let's see what my panel make of that. joined by broadcaster that. i'm joined by broadcaster and as and columnist lizzie cundy as a broadcaster and political commentator, sam dowler . sam commentator, sam dowler. sam dowler . no commentator, sam dowler. sam dowler. no think commentator, sam dowler. sam dowler . no think they should dowler. no think they should suspend him, but they should him ehheni suspend him, but they should him either. i think look, he's he's one of the jewels in that crown,
4:42 pm
especially especially when it comes to sporting. and, you know, i agree with marcus collins. he was on there before like had if he had oh like if he had said if he had oh i just love this new bell i just love this this new bell you know nothing, nothing would have have have happened. nobody would have said therefore, the said anything so. therefore, the fact it's against fact that it's going against the government created government means he's created this i don't this massive problem. so i don't know that because. the bbc know about that because. the bbc are quite woke. so if he said that there would lot of that there would be a lot of people coming in say, he people coming in say, dare he say and they'll what they say that? and they'll what they do, he me, do, what they he did to me, they'll be looking and saying. gary lineker said he supports bill would mean these bill which would mean that these poor asylum wouldn't be poor asylum seekers wouldn't be able asylum. you know able to claim asylum. you know that. i guess he's that. but also he's i guess he's forcing people like fans, forcing people like his fans, forcing people like his fans, for example , look at look at the for example, look at look at the bill and look at why he's upset about and judge whether they're upset about it as he's he's also he's he's reaching into his viewers minds and that's okay. he went to qatar for god's sake, went to qatar . he really cares. went to qatar. he really cares. obviously, human and you know, golden said apologise if you didn't care, then he would just
4:43 pm
apologise it'd be like oh it was like you said like you said in your there was a gaffe. it was not a gaffe. he meant to say. and he stood by and he's doubled down. i'm calling it a down. well, i'm calling it a gaffe because you work for the bbc. is gaffe. yeah, it bbc. that is a gaffe. yeah, it is. as i said, know, he is. and as i said, you know, he can sing from the rooftops do what he wants. but with the bbc, because we are paying wages, because we are paying his wages, that thing. and, you know that is the thing. and, you know when get their when the lefties get their knickers twist about this, knickers in a twist about this, he's the spin he's got alastair the spin doctor for case. doctor spinning for this case. starmer for. oh, you starmer sticking up for. oh, you know if you lose job i can know what, if you lose job i can give him a job with gary neville. imagine he's to gary is unbelievable but i think now the bbc what are they going to do because gary's going to say sorry and i think he's and i'm sorry and i think he's and i'm sorry to do that with the link to the. i know he didn't actually say the word, but it was interpreted that way. it's offended many people know, including many of my friends in the jewish community. and it is quite revolting that he has not apologised. so what do the bbc
4:44 pm
do because they're not going to back down either. so what's going to happen is conjured up like obviously this horrific allegory whenever this awful metaphor and they wrote they were segments of what he says which can kind understand which you can kind of understand but do you mean but it is what do you mean segments? which. well, i mean, the fact that it is know disallowing like making people like about an like what sowell says about an invasion, 100 million people for goodness making is making immigrants look like vermin no, no, no is them that is because that's how they got here. they're still beings and that's what that's that's that's not the point, though, is it? the point that people are taking advantage asylum system? advantage of our asylum system? they the laws they take advantage of the laws that and. they're that surround it and. they're taking advantage quite clearly. and can see that happening. and we can see that happening. there that will deny there is nobody that will deny that know coming from that you know people coming from albania certainly do not really need asylum the need to be seeking asylum in the united so there are united kingdom. so there are people, swathes of people united kingdom. so there are people advantage thes of people united kingdom. so there are people advantage thes system le taking advantage of a system that purpose. it's that isn't fit for purpose. it's i'm sorry. and it needs to be it needs to be changed. something needs to be changed. something needs if you needs to happen. now, if you think in the think about germany in the thirties, , there was
4:45 pm
thirties, right, where there was a where it was eventually a system where it was eventually led to exterminate of an almost entire race and you are now talking about a system that is aiming to stop people crossing a channel and making a dangerous crossing so it saves lives . why crossing so it saves lives. why on earth would you think that the government to stop the government trying to stop that a bad thing. but that would be a bad thing. but it's incendiary language coming from that's from gary obviously and that's what's everybody what's got everybody you upset with political . yes, with what his political. yes, i know i am on my own here and know yes i am on my own here and everyone i speak to is sick of it. and that's why we love punst it. and that's why we love pundits like roy keane who knows everything about football. looks like he's going to bite , head like he's going to bite, head off when you meet with him. but don't know what he feels on brexit. that's why he's a winner . but i'm sorry, gary lineker enough enough. unless throw enough. enough. unless you throw the book and he's a hypocrite and he really felt that much about human, you know how the wellbeing of humans you have got to know that you went to talk could even stoke in england. well if you all kind of well listen if you all kind of you know worrying am you know worrying what am i going do say match of the day

4:49 pm
i we're here final i think he should be suspended i would go further and say that he should. no those people recall their contacts today that screwed up the bbc's coverage the sport bbc . it's a good opportunity for them to. look at that and say, well thanks very much, but we're going to replace you with someone who does political view. so yeah so the story goes for me the voter i can't stand the man knows that people can't stand emily harris , do you think ? emily harris, do you think? absolutely. i last night bit of backbone from the bbc the thoughts is his was historically illiterate and insulting to the majority of electorate which polling shows support government action to stop the small boats but it was highly partisan the reference to 1930 germany was distasteful . it clearly crossed distasteful. it clearly crossed the line, but he basically put the line, but he basically put the bbc in an impossible position and it's not for the first time. all he probably had to do was apologise, delete the,
4:50 pm
tweet and agree to a social media. but it appears he's decided act like a petulant child instead . so of course they child instead. so of course they had to act gallery in the car is not bigger than bbc but can i just say because people defending lineker called freedom of speech grounds of being intellectually this honest this is not this is clearly not a free speech issue . this is about free speech issue. this is about the bbc's obligation should to be impartial . gary oldman can be impartial. gary oldman can say what he likes if he leaves the bbc and even though i disagree with his po couching woke nonsense , i would defend woke nonsense, i would defend his right to do so well . woke nonsense, i would defend his right to do so well. i mean saying is the people defending and clearly don't want the bbc to be impartial so they are indirectly calling for an end to the licence fee bring. alan well you know jonathan jones found what do you got about 30 seconds so it's not a they gave themselves no choice. i'm afraid themselves no choice. i'm afraid the bbc got to cancel one side and the other so i think they get a cup of tea and, talk it through and stop this cancelling other give people a freedom of
4:51 pm
speech to express their views. that's i think and we will that's what i think and we will be for and i don't be paying for it. and i don't thinks so. jonathan, thank you very much. i always lovely to see that's jonathan jones see you. that's jonathan jones in julie bedford in cornwall, julie bedford alan in cornwall, julie bedford alan in in bristol remind in is and lee in bristol remind you of the statement the you of the statement that the bbc the bbc have the bbc released the bbc have the has been in extensive discussions with gary his discussions with gary and his team in recent days . we've said team in recent days. we've said that we consider his social media activity a breach media activity to be a breach guidelines . media activity to be a breach guidelines. the bbc has decided that he will step back from presenting that to the day until we've got an agreed clear position on his use of media when it comes to leading our football and sports coverage. gary second none. we have gary second to none. we have never said that should be never said that gary should be an opinion free zone or that he can't have a view on issues that matter but we have said matter to him. but we have said that he should keep well away from sides party from taking sides on party political political political issues, political controversies . well, you're with controversies. well, you're with me on this is a debate is on tv the digital media after the it's time for the royal round up i'll be joined in the studio by royal biographer 11 to discuss all the
4:55 pm
good afternoon. this is a gb news. we are the people's channel and then a well, there's always something going in the royal household and this week has been no different. it's royal round up and prince royal round up time and prince harry meghan markle have harry and meghan markle have said children's said it is their children's birthright to be called prince and princess king charles as part of prince edward, the title of of , part of prince edward, the title of of, edinburgh, his 59th of duke of, edinburgh, his 59th birthday. as you . i love to give birthday. as you. i love to give you that rundown. and who better to do says and royal biographer angela cause angela levin angela. cause there's going on the there's a lot going on in the royal circle we start royal circle once we start i think we should start with the duke and duchess of edinburgh . duke and duchess of edinburgh. they've worked incredibly hard they've been quiet . they don't they've been quiet. they don't make a big fuss. they just get on with things late. queen used to say she really loved sophie
4:56 pm
because she know she was in the room. i mean , but it was room. i mean, but it was a compliment because, you know, compared to people who make a big fuss about, anything and, i think that it's lovely that she's also become very . and one she's also become very. and one of those women who the older she gets the more beautiful she is and i thought to myself on the way here you know the cartoon that made fun of harry and meghan when they looked down the throat and it was an echo and there's nothing there i think you would find compassion kindness gentleness that would be a very different sort of throat to look down. and i think she's been a wonderful wife to prince edward because he made a bit of a mess of he didn't like being in the military. he didn't do well at university i got to ds and then they i think they his a—levels and he just didn't really know who he was but once he married her 24 years ago she
4:57 pm
sorted all out she got onto help do things with people who lived nearby , who weren't very rich or nearby, who weren't very rich or had issues and do more and more for the family and we see photographs of them all over the world, but we don't really send people and get to know them really well. and i hope now that they've got the best time to that, they will know more. what i wonder is whether harry and meghan had heard this i've got a spy. and they knew that they were getting so they had to get the prince and princess linda in full. you think that's why they did that? well, i that's after the fact that. they know that they'd had a bad time with frogmore, that they would actually come with that a tit for tat in mighty letters . and for tat in mighty letters. and also they could come in the middle . the other one that's middle. the other one that's coming out and if you saw meghan's smirk , as she would meghan's smirk, as she would walking in us say , which we
4:58 pm
walking in us say, which we haven't seen anything of her for ages, she was all confident and happy that she'd scored goal. but i think it's actually awful to manage your children in that sort of way they said before they they knew that they had this birthright but they wouldn't do anything and let them what they want to do when they're older but actually the slum that down and although little girls want to be a princess at a party i don't think they want to be a princess other little girls because make fun of them. they'll bully her. and i think it's a very difficult a huge burden for a young girl to have . i think it's young girl to have. i think it's a great shame. it's that dream is not about camilla's international women's day reception. well, that was interesting of the women interesting because of the women she got. interesting because of the women she got i interesting because of the women she got. i mean, she did it despite fact. she lost her brother law. he died. and they were very close. even him . and were very close. even him. and his sister went on honeymoon with them to scotland . but she
4:59 pm
with them to scotland. but she was very up to it and it was a whole range of, you know . i have whole range of, you know. i have got the numbers down here, the people who were in happy , happy people who were in happy, happy valley, the star of valley, she came in. she was to meet the princess, which i think she was the only one who allowed husband to come. so there we are. well, ineed to come. so there we are. well, i need to finish on ngozi fulani because it's a long term . it because it's a long term. it sounded like to me when i was listening, she she's asking for money. that's what it sounded like because it sounded like to me as well to people she wanted to bring all after everybody to bring all up after everybody had been very and apologised and said, know, let's leave it said, you know, let's leave it now absolutely and now all happy. absolutely and then she would go home and think a few weeks later actually i should get some money out. well she was saying that she wasn't protected in all this and it wasn't fair. then she had to pay money for pr and things. it was like you national tv like you went national tv deciding to spill your guts about this conversation issue and vote yes . about this conversation issue and vote yes. i mean, i quite

5:09 pm
meeting you. and i think sometimes we don't tell these stories . so andrew, tell stories. so first, andrew, tell me about your story. so my me a bit about your story. so my story starts someone who's wanted to be in the beautiful relation ship full of love in a new beginnings, new start, happy andifs new beginnings, new start, happy and it's as if my entire turns upside down because from the very next day after i say i do, life just takes a different turn . and i faced a shocking reality of what i thought was going to be and why end up with what was what was an arranged marriage or you because or were you with this for a while? no so it was actually a love marriage. and every girl, once you know her fairy tale charming. so i came and i fell in love with and my parents are very strict orthodox mothers . roman catholic. no mothers. roman catholic. no staying before, you know, marriage with anyone and so we
5:10 pm
got married and then there was a lot of different things, which i thought, you know, yes, this is my charming and then no, it was a lot of magic went absolutely wrong the other way . literally wrong the other way. literally 60 degrees is interesting . and 60 degrees is interesting. and of course, when you were in the situation , you did you have situation, you did you have children . what did you do? how children. what did you do? how did you get out? so i've got two beautiful children. they are my source of strength. and that's the main reason as to why i got out, i've i saw a lot of things happening , saw my parents happening, saw my parents relationship, which was very loving. my father's giving. and i saw my relationship. and that me think this is not how a relationship is actually meant to be. and when i got to see that , then i thought i, want that, then i thought i, want more for my children and i want more for my children and i want more for my children and i want more for them and i want a nice life, like an upbringing . what
5:11 pm
life, like an upbringing. what i was used to . and then i decided was used to. and then i decided need to leave boys . the need to leave boys. the relationship wasn't enough . a relationship wasn't enough. a loving one. it wasn't going well. there was a lot of wobble abuse. there was mental abuse , abuse. there was mental abuse, coercive control and. it was as if the person , a split if the person, a split personality completely. that's so when that happens, even something that you think is great in its own side. so you decided to do about this because a lot of people would just think, you know, i don't have the strength to go forward and do that. but you decided to do something about it. so how did the collaboration between you and so we were and lindsay been so we were introduced by richard swell and bonnet , who introduced by richard swell and bonnet, who is a business networker and andrea, obviously i had already written a short film about an abuse survivor inspired by a friend mine and had a relationship . she's not had a relationship. she's not really a comedian. she's just very funny, but she became a comedian in my story. very funny, but she became a
5:12 pm
comedian in my story . and of comedian in my story. and of course, the way i'd written it, it was quite like motivational speeches and so i've been looking for somebody really brave and i actually wanted to collaborate with a real survivor . so when andrea spoke to me about her idea, i was like, that's very strange. i'm trying to do exactly the same. so it was kind of serendipitous , some was kind of serendipitous, some wonderful and we joined forces and obviously i was able to very quickly, because i'd been immersed in this universe already adapt to her story and write new script based on her experience basis. but she'd self—funded it's very hard to get funding for films. it must be, wasn't it? and one i think we talked about it. i'd love to see we've got a trailer actually or part of the film. let's, let's let's show you a bit of the film as i'm looking to try to run on a mission. the film as i'm looking to try to run on a mission . sorry we to run on a mission. sorry we come right away from , you know, come right away from, you know, listen , i know was your
5:13 pm
listen, i know was your complacency . you . in the sun complacency. you. in the sun setting for the studio , you made setting for the studio, you made a monster of your monster go out on mushrooms on the world. wow so they look , you know, we're so they look, you know, we're going to watch that slop , too. going to watch that slop, too. you know what it like because you actually in the film, you're the actress playing yourself. yes. how was that playing yourself ? it was liberating and yourself? it was liberating and also very empowering , yourself? it was liberating and also very empowering, very emotional and so glad that lindsay came on board and was supporting me during . the supporting me during. the because when you're not an actress it's not everyone wants to give you that offer community but one thing i did know is i wanted to reach out to other survivors . and the ladies was survivors. and the ladies was still being a victim in that situation , not having situation, not having a migration which something very
5:14 pm
easy. that's your profession i've been running. if someone gone that i survivor was actually enjoying pregnancy that's gone through the abuse that's gone through the abuse that mental torment having the strength to walk out there i feel that's helps me connect to others it helps me show them that if i could do it they can do it now. i know just one of the things you said was that actually during whole thing that you went through, you didn't really but then when you actually doing the film, that's when the came. yes because when the tears came. yes because it's like you're being strong , it's like you're being strong, being strong for your kids and you're thinking , what do do? you're thinking, what do i do? because i came from a very influential , well—off background influential, well—off background andifs influential, well—off background and it's like i've never seen anything like this . i never knew anything like this. i never knew about food and about where to get help, where go or to reach out to. and so i thought like , out to. and so i thought like, what can i do ? and then i had to what can i do? and then i had to look how to go through that. i've always had to go through the courts, you know, and figure everything on my own. so when
5:15 pm
you in that moment and, the funny thing is that i actually met someone who had gone that and the lady was telling me, don't be in my situation an ngo, whatever you do, don't be me because she was much elderly and i met her at work. her entire family against her. she lost her house. her kids resented her for staying in that relationship and them through that day in and out and not having the courage to walk out. so all these things in my head the security guard at work telling me , andrea, i don't work telling me, andrea, i don't want to meet you ten years down the line and you still crying about the same things. are you telling me this is why we are, you know, so unhappy and this is what's happening. nobody's to do anything unless do it. so i anything unless you do it. so i had to when there's no one had to be when there's no one there for you. you've got to be strong. and then once you're out of it and you're doing it all, it's like you . that happened it's like you. that happened when people want to see the film, how they get to see the
5:16 pm
film, how they get to see the film, what can we yet published it and so we will do. we will do it and so we will do. we will do it by the end of this week. but coming this coming week, next week will absolutely publish will probably put it on your youtube channel where. people want to listen now want to find where do they need to go to find out when is out. they can even go to my website which is andrea. if yet .org and it be shown over there. it's just we were waiting because we were in the festival and it's immensely well and for the house of commons and so now since all is over we can start sharing it with listen really look forward to seeing the i've seen i've seen it but i will watch again and listen if you're interested as well, check andrew if you if you go this felt andrew and aviat as i say thank you so for joining me lindsay and thank you for having me to talk to you and the film is called don't cry. coming up, it's the great

5:20 pm
the good afternoon this coming up to 20 minutes after 5:00. this is gb views on tv , online and on gb views on tv, online and on digital radio. we the people's channel and you can also download the gb views app for free. i'm not a it's time for our great british debate this hour i'm asking who do you trust to take on immigration? the uk is set to help out a detention centre on french soil , is set to help out a detention centre on french soil, an attempt to try to stop the of
5:21 pm
migrants crossing into the via the channel the deal was agreed in paris between prime minster rishi sunak and also president emmanuel macron at a summit to tackle the issue. now the uk is expected to contribute . £480 expected to contribute. £480 million in funding over the next three years to help this . and three years to help this. and they are expected to be fully by 2026. now, will this collaboration, do you think, with the french government and the government's new illegal migration bill finally put an end to the migrant crisis? labour don't think . just like labour don't think. just like the rwanda scheme, starmer thinks this will be a failure . thinks this will be a failure. but as labour got a viable to stop the crossings itself. the great british debate this i'm asking who do you trust to take on immigration. joining me now is chair of migrant watch mehmet omer labour minister phil mcshane , a conservative mcshane, a conservative councillor and former special adviser to home office. adviser to the home office. immigration minister claire pearsall the deputy of ukip, pearsall and the deputy of ukip, rebecca jane . i'll start with
5:22 pm
rebecca jane. i'll start with you. this this immigration , this you. this this immigration, this plan that they tried to put forward , what were your thoughts forward, what were your thoughts on it? first of all, migration watch , migrant watch face. i watch, migrant watch face. i think it's also said migration watch a watch . sorry, it's the watch a watch. sorry, it's the bill i think is certainly very important step . there's a lot of important step. there's a lot of flaws. there's a lot yet be done which can be rectified as it goes through parliament, as it is . i think goes through parliament, as it is. i think that it probably will get held up in the court as well if we like it or not. i'm afraid that the only way that this crime is going to be solved is if we start returning people who come illegally and that would appear is the bill intends to achieve . so you think you to achieve. so you think you think this is a good step forward then? i do do. and this
5:23 pm
is the commitment. the commitment for the home secretary to be required to return those who arrive illegally . that return those who arrive illegally. that is return those who arrive illegally . that is significant illegally. that is significant and i believe that if they eventually get to actually put get into practise, then will have an impact. well, rebecca jane, what do you think ? well, jane, what do you think? well, there's the problem. i agree with a lot of actually what you've just said out, but unfortunately, i have no trust or faith in the conservative bishop to give him a position . bishop to give him a position. so we've heard a lot of the plans and stunts that they have tried to get through and they don't they are all doomed to fail because of the detail. and they do held you know, we they do held up. you know, we only have to look at the rwanda plan. we've exactly plan. we've heard exactly the same speech from boris johnson and from suella braverman week. literally same as a year literally the same as a year ago, saying it's going to fix the problem. it's not. and not because the conservatives don't a handle on this. they don't
5:24 pm
know what doing. and it's time for a new party step in with better plans and actually can see them through . mm. then see them through. mm. then a state issue also chucking that only the idea that there's party that has the answer. i started life as a young activist fighting racism late sixties whether you know powell calling for the repatriation of all the immigrants including people like suella braverman parents of rishi sunak pows. that was his big idea . but rishi sunak pows. that was his big idea. but what's that rishi sunak pows. that was his big idea . but what's that got to big idea. but what's that got to do with it? very simply that each succeeding deck made the opposite old fred. we worked together in the forward office for these distinguished are best and the minister each and i was the minister each decade. and i was the minister each decade . each government tries to decade. each government tries to do . do you get surges people do. do you get surges people impelled to move the idea of a value backwards off always the bank of the british taxpayers just them hardly half a billion pounds to play with and they don't then stop a single zodiac little dinghy with the wall, the
5:25 pm
clubs filling up with people on a 100 mile coastline tried to get to britain . do you think the get to britain. do you think the claire pearsall ? funnily enough, claire pearsall? funnily enough, i actually agree with some of what dennis saying, and i do think this is perhaps a failure of success of governments and each party which has their own distinct idea of what the migration problem is . but distinct idea of what the migration problem is. but i do think they conserves they party have now made some real strides to look at how you solve that . to look at how you solve that. and yes we have just given a very large amount of money over to emmanuel macron, who is going to emmanuel macron, who is going to be incredibly happy with his own performance . but it is going own performance. but it is going to be essentially to have his help going forward with the eu commission . when we look to commission. when we look to assess how these returns deals with the rest of the eu . so i do with the rest of the eu. so i do think there's some investment is needed. it a large amount and let's hope it brings . but you let's hope it brings. but you know rebecca jane points out that we've heard this time and
5:26 pm
time again and to be fair, i am with her in many respects, but we have what makes this one different. claire i don't disagree with you in that respect. i really don't. and you and i spoken previously on immigration where i have been really quite against a conservative government is doing. however when you start at what all the other policies have to offer, it really is incredibly little. the labour policy is so tied up with trying to make sure that they have a go at the conservative government without forward with any policies other than beefing up the national agency. the lib dems similarly seem to want to just be fair to everybody which in immigration terms. you can never be. and then you look at the greens who would basically allow anyone to be here if. there's an ecological disaster and if they've been for here five years illegally, well they'll just stay. so at the very least , the services are very least, the services are coming out with plans where coming out with some plans where policies to so . policies are failing to do so.
5:27 pm
well so nana , can i, can i come well so nana, can i, can i come back to asking , can i just back to asking, can i just refocus this debate on what it is that talking about? the bill is that talking about? the bill is intended to deal with the crisis that we now have and the channel that is what we are debating at the moment. how do you stop boats? how do you stop people from jumping in to flimsy dinghies and making risking their lives and making their way over here? that's what we're about. there's all sorts of things that debate wider issues on involving migration. but on particular point, how do we stop it? and the only way we're to stop it is , to show that if you stop it is, to show that if you jump stop it is, to show that if you jump into a dinghy, get across here, it's not going to work . here, it's not going to work. you're not going to stay. then they will stop trying to get here by means they can. well, you're right there. but the
5:28 pm
discussion is actually. who do you trust with the whole idea of this policy? so what that is consideration of? do you trust , consideration of? do you trust, the conservative party on this particular. well, more than life would trust a labour government to date to. be honest. i don't think that any of the parties , think that any of the parties, certainly the main parties , but certainly the main parties, but conservatives and labour have covered themselves glory in deaung covered themselves glory in dealing with with this issue over the years and that . to over the years and that. to illegal immigration is nothing new. what is new is them into boats and coming across the tories. i think they've failed partly because they didn't really make the effort that was necessary when it all started four or five years ago. they are now they've there's an election coming up, dare i say. so they know that they've got to get it right regard to the bill. it won't do the job and it will be a while before it's implied and
5:29 pm
said. however there are all sorts of gaps and loopholes in it at the moment and those need to be addressed as well. if it's going to have any effect, isn't the problem , not as it was the the problem, not as it was the last three years, four years. all we've had boris johnson and suella braverman non—stop insults . the french dodi do insults. the french dodi do a break. liz truss. but back row the jury's out on really insulting language which i know from all my friends upsets you don't talk to. no, no, no. it works both ways . yes. are you works both ways. yes. are you saying are you that the french haven't been they've been hostile towards the british as well, especially. they can't be. they saw it. they did not give a toss about brexit didn't like brexit. they didn't want they didn't like, for example , us didn't like, for example, us invading afghanistan and iraq and we wouldn't have all the. well, that was done well before . yes, but they didn't attack blair johnson went out of
5:30 pm
. yes, but they didn't attack blairjohnson went out of his blair johnson went out of his way to be patronising, sneering dismissive of macron and the french, as did other ministers at the press . i thought the at the press. i thought the other thing you can say that i don't think was that they weren't happy. brexit, you don't have to say they weren't happy with it. not now. let me tell you rest of europe. brexit is key to. solving this brought the rest europe together. rest of europe together. all anti—europeans barrie, the anti—europeans like barrie, the pair, british salvini, pair, the british salvini, they've dropped anti—european discourse from their point of view. we don't talk about what do you talk of? that's not true . in italy, people are actually going and if anything , europe going and if anything, europe has become more to the since brexit, i would say georgia . but brexit, i would say georgia. but we're just below drop all her anti—eu anti—european. okay, let's take the allowed to push case of dennis. let's take the allowed to push case of dennis . sorry. sorry. so case of dennis. sorry. sorry. so do trust the labour party then with immigration and the policy. that's that's what the question is. do you trust them. who do you trust? i don't see clear
5:31 pm
evidence from the labour party, except it is to engage more broadly with your not to go back to the eu. oh that's enough. that's enough. so i'm like more so now in no , we've had enough so now in no, we've had enough of that in our case. all right. keep the problem going, guys . keep the problem going, guys. it's not the labour party, the labour party's policies and proposals or the policies on the channel are frankly don't add up. what they're saying is . up. what they're saying is. we'll deal with the traffickers and we'll deal with the gangs. well that's happening anyway. and we all working with the french and others to address that particular the other thing they're saying is well, what we've got to do is reduce the backlog . neither of those points backlog. neither of those points really will make blindness bit of difference out the numbers who are coming over i had i mean thousands of asylum cases when i an mp and none of them were treated patrick just a very distinguished gb views presenter. the great paget
5:32 pm
christie . this is not alright. christie. this is not alright. christie. this is not alright. christie passenger chris christie passenger chris christie just give me, forgive me is a great poll there. barlow and he found in eric and colonel who said for his likes otherwise going to be killed and tortured landed here in 2015 and last november whenever it was his case hadn't been heard. so what i'm going to come to claire for officials discuss this quickly needs to deal with it but did the conservative party then do you think they're going to be able to pull it off? do you think the conservative party will be able pull it off? because they solve because i think if they solve immigration, they could actually potentially win the election. do you can it off? you think they can pull it off? i i agree. you if they can i mean, i agree. you if they can manage pull this off, then manage to pull this off, then they absolutely save next they absolutely save the next election. it is going to election. but it is going to get held by the courts. it's got held up by the courts. it's got to commons and to get through the commons and the so that hopefully the lords yet so that hopefully will some good amendments will be some good amendments being crossed. being made. but fingers crossed. i this is probably more i think this is probably more positive than we've seen over the last 18 months. rebecca jane will they can pull
5:33 pm
will suggest that they can pull it we've only got 10 it off. we've only got 10 seconds, so we'll have to look. rebecca barrett by whole rebecca barrett by the whole thing. can't any of thing. you can't trust any of them. got a decent them. nobody's got a decent plan. to go plan. it's not going to go through. we're wishful and through. we're all wishful and it's going to happen . 10 it's not going to happen. 10 seconds. it's probably not going to happen any time soon. i don't think any of the parties at the moment have shown that they're up to it the tories have made a useful start this time . unless useful start this time. unless you've got enough this time next year bring us back and if go by face no more boats across , the face no more boats across, the channel face no more boats across, the channel, all by alp and everybody. the biggest trick in the world. but it's not going to reduce it. i'm sorry. well, we'll hold you to that. and thank you very much, clare. so because i was a and former special adviser. rebecca jane deputy leader of ukip and appointment watch appointment to migration watch thank so much forjoining me. this is a gb news tv online. i wanted to talk radio. i'm nana akua. i will continue that great

5:41 pm
to france. i mean, france this i really do believe france want this to be a huge and bigger problem the uk because the more is a bigger problem, the more money we seem to give them. and it's just terrible. we need to get this sorted, we need to get process. we need to be able to turn boats when they're turn the boats when they're actually channel. you actually in the channel. you turn them back and send them back to where they will not in the way . what i'm prepared to do the way. what i'm prepared to do that they said that's a and also the that when the boats the risk is that when the boats turn back people jump off turn back people may jump off the boats and. this become the boats and. this will become a operation . he's still a rescue operation. he's still saying not taking them saying he's not taking them back. okay, so what are we going to with with the huge amounts to do with with the huge amounts that have on the plane, that we have on the plane, water, they're going to have sort of processing in france . sort of processing in france. they are also going to set up a specific of police force type thing that will deal specifically with the migrants as and there'll be a lot of joint cooperation. so, i mean isn't it a start at least some we've got a backlog of 150,000
5:42 pm
at the moment which is a ginormous amount people so i mean and it is down to this government to have sorted that system out first i mean like get them processed like if you're going to send to windsor or or wherever, get them processed. but they're not they're not doing that and that is this tory government that is this tory government, that is something 13 people something they process people or something they process you do what i think is so the thing is that stop the boats . thing is that stop the boats. it's just another you know, get brexit done. it's just a way of deflection or distraction from the tory. let me finish lizzie from the from tory from that from the from tory government and then and also this was a labour government and they gave and half a they gave and they half a billion pounds france. want billion pounds to france. i want to be well look at the to be like well look at the labour just giving labour government just giving france money back to the eu france as money back to the eu etc. this is, this is etc. like this is, this is a total mess. it has to be. and there was, there was so many moving and but it the, moving parts and but it is the, it is the tory government that that out the 150,000 that have sorted out the 150,000 back. already got all back. but we've already got all that. usually agree with this that. we usually agree with this and with you, but
5:43 pm
and i'm agreeing with you, but this tory government is all spin , waffle action and , waffle and no action and they're beginning to be the party of the of the headlines rather than the party of any action . and that is the trouble. action. and that is the trouble. so you say you're not prepared to give me any credit. there's an i don't think an i don't i don't think anything much it, but he anything much of it, but he managed to do something to us live on the line. you saw what happened to rise he did the same thing to president macron . so, thing to president macron. so, bofis thing to president macron. so, boris did the very opposite with these people . right. so as these people. right. so as a result of, there was a five year gap between the summit that because they literally despised bofis because they literally despised boris johnson , the boris johnson, the administrations and those who have looked after the person ahead of the government since . ahead of the government since. so finally, we've got one who's actually speaking the same language , appearing to be the language, appearing to be the same as all of us, managing to somehow captivate them and get them to speak and get them . and them to speak and get them. and you know what? the french are spending money than we are in this country to settle this up. so somehow we always manage
5:44 pm
that. does he not get any credit at all. and do you think keir starmer, do anything? well, that is it keir starmer let's ask is it and keir starmer let's ask keir starmer mean he gives keir starmer i mean he gives advice everything but for advice on everything but for nothing. what is he going to do because he didn't mention it, did mention the boat did he even mention the boat problems this this problems. this is this this problems. this is this this problem has just grown and grown , and grown under the tory government for the 13 government for the last 13 years. of course it is going years. so of course it is going to labour government and to be a labour government and let's these of course let's, let's let these of course let's, let's, let's see, they can do, let's, let's see, they can do, let's see which which way, that, which way they and come and which way they go and come and come beside is but it's not election time so they haven't come up their ideas. but come up with their ideas. but it's not just because they'll just to look at just look. we got to look at where they is with the smugglers, with gas. that's smugglers, with the gas. that's what problem. grass roots what is the problem. grass roots where it started there was arresting all people that arresting all the people that use not the drug war. use drugs but not the drug war. so of it is trying so i think part of it is trying to off supply and it's to cut off the supply and it's the immediate thing they've got to deal with. now i would agree with you because thomas plan has said after the said he will go after the not the drug barons and the drug
5:45 pm
purposes the people smugglers and so forth. but i mean, and so and so forth. but i mean, but i see no gangs, no crossings. simple, let's see crossings. simple, but let's see what do about it. a lot what he can do about it. a lot of gangs are probably up in of the gangs are probably up in this starmer came this massive keir starmer came to then and it was all to power and then and it was all sorted within a year. and sorted out within a year. and then would you say? i'd say then what would you say? i'd say that it's a dream i mean, a nightmare. this isn't real. but why we always giving to the why are we always giving to the french french? and i'm going french french? and i'm not going to that. on, to bet paying that. come on, now. are none of the now. there are none of the french are contributing more? actually towards a skip? they are actually not their are next, actually not in their interest perpetuate interest to perpetuate this because draw. but because they become a draw. but anyway , we need move on anyway, we need to move on because want to talk. about because i want to talk. about gary lineker. yeah, yeah, exactly. because i'm not letting that gary lineker that go. following gary lineker suspension high suspension a number of high profile presenters have profile sports presenters have dropped their dropped out of hosting their football, today in a rally football, says today in a rally of support for gary . and this is of support for gary. and this is despite his comments where he compared the government's to that of 1930s. germany was a language the government were using. so was right for the bbc to suspend lineker. well, joining me now, southampton legend and football pundit matt
5:46 pm
le tissier . legend and football pundit matt le tissier. matt, thank very le tissier. matt, thank you very much to tony. oh, look, try and smile sam, you're in it as well. all right. he off camera, all right. he was off camera, camera, face. this is what they do when they're not on. and so that's just we had a good conversation yesterday with regard ian wright sort of regard to ian wright sort of went and that people went out and said that people don't know much. means to don't know much. this means to me, giving up one day of me, me giving up one day of match, the day which thought match, the day which i thought actually, care , but actually, i don't care, but what's your take on this? all these bbc pundits and presenters deciding to jump for this show for now ? what are your thoughts for now? what are your thoughts on seeing that ? i mean, it on seeing that? i mean, it didn't do that for you know , i didn't do that for you know, i mean, that was the work for a different channel, but decided to weigh in on the matter anyway and wasn't particularly sympathetic about all but you know that's that's up to him but if his presenters to want to show their solidarity with the gary lineker then that's their prerogative you know and if
5:47 pm
there's consequences to that they also have to they also have to take the consequences that if the bbc actually do show any kind of mental and stand up to all their their talent, then yeah, they'll just have to take the consequence decisions and if they're happy with then that's fine because guys considerably ficher fine because guys considerably richer than them . and of course richer than them. and of course if the bbc say well you, ain't coming back, then gary will be fine. but i don't think some of the others be. i mean, they just i mean, we never even heard of half of them, but i mean, did you name jason momoa? did you out of instance? it's quite respectful. i think that they are they're all doing it with him. think quite i do him. i think it's quite i do like solidarity and they like the solidarity and they were. mean, obviously, think were. i mean, obviously, i think their like a huge their agents will be like a huge steam is what are you doing? but i think, you know, they they're making and you know and making a point and you know and it's take on the bbc it's and but to take on the bbc and the interest the interesting thing what i'm kind of a little bit confused about is what
5:48 pm
they're standing in solidarity with gary at least up are they standing up for speech because if they're starting to do that now , where have they been for now, where have they been for the last three years? because they've been very quiet on the on the free speech and anybody on the free speech and anybody on the free speech and anybody on the other side of the argument, they will i said, sit in silence and all of a sudden it's one of their own. it's oh, no, no free speech, free speech. do you think when it comes to free speech? afraid i was free speech? i'm afraid i was just going say on well, just going say on that. well, i mean, do you not think they should have said more about guitar in the world cup being there with terrible human there with the terrible human rights? still went rights? i mean, gary still went there , you know, tonne of for there, you know, a tonne of for money it as others did. but no one stood up and said that they think did they. it's quite hypocritical . yeah. i mean hypocritical. yeah. i mean i think i said a few on the gb news regarding that situation . news regarding that situation. but yeah, i mean there's this hypocrisy over the place, let's be honest and it's , it's been
5:49 pm
be honest and it's, it's been blown up for me . it's been blown blown up for me. it's been blown up out of all proportion . i up out of all proportion. i think the way to solve all actually or the way to get a little bit of clarity in all is for the bbc to publish gary's to get ready gary once, once you've done that, we could all read the contract and see exactly what it stipulates and contract and then we can make our own up. whether gary breached contract gary has breached that contract not. and then we can have a far better informed opinion of i was going to you with match the day tonight . what happens if the tonight. what happens if the ratings are really high what do you . i'm ratings are really high what do you. i'm going to touch on my tv just for the hell of it i would have meeting. yeah what happens. i'll tell you what will happen lizzy, if the are really high. no one will ever know about it . no one will ever know about it. oh yeah. yeah. you think so? so you, you said they should pubush you, you said they should publish lineker because if it turns out, which i'm pretty sure he will a level of loyalty to the notion of impartiality which is what we all signed up to the
5:50 pm
bbc because he's such a high paid presenter, such a high profile one, there'll be duty of responsibility to him if it turns out he's just things that happened to him . if he breaks happened to him. if he breaks his contract, then will get sacked . simple as that . if he's sacked. simple as that. if he's if he's sign that contract in good faith and then he's broken , he's broken that contract , , he's broken that contract, then the bbc are well within their rights. the second and then, you know, if gary wants to appeal that and go through that process and that's the way it should be. but you know that's let's see how it pans out. i'm sure that there'll be some kind of compromise and, you know, the lovely will be back on our screens , not put your name in screens, not put your name in the hat . i know he's he's the hat. i know he's he's i think abc he's had an opinion enough money now what does it matter to say thank you so much joining us that's former south england international footballer and football pundit letitia wright. well, you just come in.
