it's net zero day westminster. the question is , can we afford the question is, can we afford it ? the question is, can we afford it 7 we'll the question is, can we afford it .7 we'll join the battle to it.7 we'll join the battle to keep fighting for a f scamps and yes and that really really i think matters hugely to our history and heritage in this country. and james tells them to join us on talking pies, double world super bike champion. what motivates somebody to do a sport as dangerous , frankly, as crazy as dangerous, frankly, as crazy as dangerous, frankly, as crazy as that . but before we get as that. but before we get there, let's get money. is with polly middlehurst .

there, let's get money. is with polly middlehurst. nigel, thanks very much indeed and good evening to you. the top story tonight, a man been found guilty of the murder of a nine year old girl who was shot in liverpool last year . olivia corbell was last year. olivia corbell was murdered in her own home last august . merseyside police has august. merseyside police has released cctv footage of the moment thomas cashman chased a convicted drug dealer towards miss bell's home. olivia was killed just moments later. he was also found guilty of the attempted murder of joseph nee . attempted murder of joseph nee. the king has made history by becoming the first british monarch to address the german parliament, giving a speech in both german and english. king charles made the invasion of ukraine a focus of his speech , ukraine a focus of his speech, describing the war as unprovoked and telling ukrainians he was praying for them. he also condemned what he called the unimaginable suffering caused by president vladimir putin. here, the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has announced his party will freeze tax bills this year

. he unveiled the pledge at a launch of labour's local election campaign in swindon . election campaign in swindon. the move would be funded, he said , by a windfall tax on the said, by a windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies and climate change. protest as have disrupted humza yousaf deputy first minister's questions session as leader is hoping there might be another intervention for the gallery just to start that long run from humza yousaf . that didn't humza yousaf. that didn't address the question at all because i specifically asked go . well, the presiding officer had to clear the public gallery at holyrood after five separate interruptions , mr. yusuf said interruptions, mr. yusuf said the heckling stopped scottish parliament from operating . parliament from operating. scottish conservative leader ross challenged the first minister over his choice of cabinet appointments . now cabinet appointments. now tonight the white house has issued a statement saying us citizens residing in or travelling to russia should

depart immediate only. that comes as an american reporter working for the wall street journal has been arrested in russia on suspicion of spying for washington . evan gersh, for washington. evan gersh, kvetch pleaded not guilty during his court appearance . according his court appearance. according to state owned media. but the court ruled perkovich could be held in custody the end of may . held in custody the end of may. the health secretary has accused the british medical associate of adopting a political militant stance in talks to resolve the junior doctors pay dispute. steve barclay says the bma has a previous addition to negotiations of a 35% pay increase. the union denies that and urged the minister to get round the table saying no credible offer has yet been made. junior doctors in england will strike for 96 hours from the 11th of april. those are your latest news headlines. you're up to date on tv online dab+ radio and on the tunein app with gb news the people's channel time farage .

channel time farage. well, today the big story is net zero. yes, this pressing. absolutely full steam ahead for our net zero targets. oddly over the course of this week, the european union are now beginning to row back. yes the big german car manufacturers are beginning to have their say. internal combustion engines will go on being made . europe beyond 2035. being made. europe beyond 2035. and you know what.7 they're going to use a few . i and you know what.7 they're going to use a few. i don't and you know what.7 they're going to use a few . i don't know much to use a few. i don't know much about a few , but if it works, it about a few, but if it works, it sounds great. but not here. no. grant shapps the main man when it comes to net zero, says no new motor cars after 2030 will be made with the internal combustion engine. i think this is implausible , impractical, and is implausible, impractical, and it simply cannot work. but

shappsis it simply cannot work. but shapps is there saying, no, no, we're going to invest money in carbon capture , invest money in carbon capture, invest money in energy saving, namely tight windfarms, get the energy story and batteries to me. all of this is a complete and absolute pipe dream and most significantly, today he admitted there will be no cost savings . consumers for no cost savings. consumers for many , many years to come . which many, many years to come. which i read as being increased costs for many, many years to come. so the question is , can we afford the question is, can we afford on net zero targets can be obvious . farage at on net zero targets can be obvious. farage at gb on net zero targets can be obvious . farage at gb news. on net zero targets can be obvious. farage at gb news. .uk. well, i've got two men joining me tonight with very different views. bob ward from the grantham policy institute, ross clarke, freelance journalist . clarke, freelance journalist. you write for the mail, the telegraph, etc. bob ward we all want a cleaner, better world to live in. we may disagree on how

urgent climate change is , etc. urgent climate change is, etc. i thought the admission today from grant shapps that renewable energy is expensive will cost households more was very significant. basically you want to put a big heat pump on your house. you get that. you will get a grant to do that . if get a grant to do that. if you're using gas to cook, you're going to pay more. it's not very fair, is it.7 well, he didn't say that renewable energy is expensive. in fact, he said the opposite renewables energy is now cheaper. i mean remember the cost of energy crisis that we're having and the cost of living crisis of the cost of crisis is because of the cost of natural gas, which has gone up massively as a result of russia's invasion of ukraine. it's our dependence on fossil fuels that's causing this problem. well, why new offshore wind is producing electricity at a far cheaper price of the second. you're quite right. the initial invasion of ukraine had pushed gas prices way up. but they back down now, aren't they?

yeah, but at the moment, the problem is that we have a system that means that electricity that means that the electricity price is set by the most expensive form of electricity generation that is on the grid at the moment. and at the moment that's gas. so even though wind is cheaper, paying a price for electricity generated by wind, which is set by god, and that has been a really right. that has been a really right. that has been a rip off consumers. the fact the wind generation has been off the wind farms problems, it's the regulatory system we set up and grant shapps said today it needs reform. so consumers do benefit from the fact that renewable the wind farms the wind farms could never have been built without subsidy. that's right. when they first started, they were more expensive than fossil fuels. and so you apply subsidies and the pnces so you apply subsidies and the prices come right down and now it is cheaper. it is to generate electricity . so the idea that electricity. so the idea that you invest in technology so that the price comes down over time.

i mean, that's exactly what you want. we do that with all technology. it was true, i think, over the moon, over the moon should be over. it would be no rock . you are very much no rock. you are very much a sceptic about these policies. you bob wall talks there about the fact that the price is coming down, etc. i was fascinated today by what shapps had to say because i got the impression that the poor will pay impression that the poor will pay more for several years to come for their energy to subsidise the rich who are going to put in heat pumps and everything else. have i got it wrong ? was today a big a big wrong? was today a big a big transformation ? yeah, well, it's transformation? yeah, well, it's always the way green things. i mean, the normal rules seem to be reversed. i mean most times we don't have regressive taxes. we have progressive taxes where you earn more, you have more wealth, you pay more . but when wealth, you pay more. but when it gets to green things, all that seems to go out the window and we pay huge subsidies to people mansions to put in people with mansions to put in wood chip boilers and, you know,

buy know super duper electric cars and so on. and yet the poon cars and so on. and yet the poor, poorer people, they end up paying poor, poorer people, they end up paying the bills because they get late into the market after, you know, all the subsidy is electric cars, subsidies of gone, you know, they've all gone now to purchase subsidies. but the ordinary people , you know, the ordinary people, you know, are forced to buy electric cars . there won't be any subsidy. and the same with heat pumps. you know, we put in huge subsidies to relatively wealthy people to heat pumps in their house. but those subsidies will go eventually. and by the time , go eventually. and by the time, you know, the poor are forced to install them in their properties , be paying the full. but russell , you , be paying the full. but russell, you are a climate change denier. no, i'm not. i do not resile from the idea that the climate is warming . that is the climate is warming. that is almost certainly to do with human carbon emissions. but, you know , we've got to do something know, we've got to do something about it . but there

know, we've got to do something about it. but there has know, we've got to do something about it . but there has got to about it. but there has got to be balanced against having an economy and having people to , economy and having people to, you know, having living basic living standards. we could go carbon free tomorrow if we wanted to. we wouldn't have an economy we'd have people starving. we'd people shivering. and this where climate realism bob wall comes in so this week the european union and i was there for many years inside that parliament today with the high priests of climate change theory this week decided that actually . post 2035 internal combustion engines can still be made because mercedes i think wanted it when the big german car industry but they will use any fuels we today were grant shapps are so committed to all cars after 2030 being electric vehicles . i think a major they vehicles. i think a major they are apps lately you know cheering to the rafters because because they will dominate the

electric car market don't you think . whatever your views on think. whatever your views on c02 think. whatever your views on co2 you know i know we used to argue that all of this is italy. i can't believe saying this. the eu is showing more release of this issue than grant shapps. well, i think the eu have caved to in lobbying by vested interest. the german car manufacturers and said we think electric vehicles are going to be, you know, part of the part of it. but we want to have the opportunity to build these other vehicles that are powered by e fuels. well, i mean, the americans are making a bet on the electric vehicle market. they've a massive investment in it. there are attracting businesses from the uk back to united states because they believe in electric vehicles and the chinese believe in electric . so we're going to have a battle here. and the question is, where do you think chinese and american electric vehicle manufacturers are going to win out over europe is? and out over the europe is? and where should we be? i hope i'm happy either. but i just think

that the answer is going to be that the answer is going to be that we should slow down on phasing out petrol and diesel . phasing out petrol and diesel. remember, petrol and diesel is still expensive and electric vehicles will be cheaper. 2030 is unrealistic . why is it is unrealistic. why is it unrealistic? are you giving up now already? because germans have said, oh, it's too difficult because brits know that anyway. because without mass ev taxpayer subsidy , an mass ev taxpayer subsidy, an increased cost for ordinary folk can't be done. taxpayer subsidy .look can't be done. taxpayer subsidy . look at the massive subsidy we're having to pay at the moment for our dependent on fossil fuels . we're having to fossil fuels. we're having to pay fossil fuels. we're having to pay people's bills because it's too. what do you mean? the what we've done at the moment is the price of natural gas is so that the government is to introduce a cap and is pay for cars to increase that price. we should be we should be raising our now where are you going to get it from, nigel? if you want to come

back to poland and reserve, it's going to come back. the fact that we say price is an issue , that we say price is an issue, but have a look at this headline . in the times newspaper , it . in the times newspaper, it really made me laugh . the times really made me laugh. the times are swallowing hook, line and sinker. what government is saying powering up britain , push saying powering up britain, push to build turbines and ditch gas in dash for energy security . i in dash for energy security. i don't think i've ever seen anything more a logical, a more than that. and i'll tell you why , because we're going to actually people who use gas pay more money. the poor. the rich who can get away from it. we'll get subsidy guys. but bob ward , get subsidy guys. but bob ward, whatever you say me forget price for a moment . whatever you say me forget price for a moment. let's go to energy security . we in the last few security. we in the last few weeks fired up to coal fired power stations. such was the risk that literally the lights would go out in this country.

isn't it insane to call the shop statement today anything to do with energy security . the with energy security. the opposite green energy doesn't give us secure. there is no means of storing energy. we need gas , coal or whatever it is to gas, coal or whatever it is to back up wind. gas, coal or whatever it is to back upwind. yeah. so you're absolutely right. we need develop storage. we need to do better of supply and demand. but that our dependence on natural gas makes us insecure at moment. why half of the gas we use every year has to be we. we are not able to produce our own gas. no. where are you going to get it from, nigel? we've got massive decade of reserves of gas in lancashire and it's got it right. so i suggest you next show you go to down people in poole and say how confident that they that the oil industry could extract oil safely. we've just

said oil so to the rest of the world, it's a pool and we've got now they're going to deal with the consequences of that for a decade to come. it's going to affect wildlife it's washing affect the wildlife it's washing up brown sea island, where up on brown sea island, where you've got a very squirrel population. so it's fine if you could guarantee that it could be done safely. but what happened is a fact. you can go right and guarantee the you're out of there by your attitude is let there by your attitude is let the rest of the world suffer these risks and just just import energy. no, i'm saying we have domestic clean energy is our best source of sustainable gold. and what happens when the wind's not blowing ? so you do need not blowing? so you do need a solution . so what you can do is solution. so what you can do is you can store bridge that provides electricity storage. and i know , nigel, that you tend and i know, nigel, that you tend to think that we'll never get beyond where we are now. but i keep mention telling you that we've had huge in in battery storage. yeah. if you look for at instance the storage of

batteries in mobile phones and then they've improved massively. we are making making huge progress and you bet against us ever. progress and you bet against us ever . i'd progress and you bet against us ever. i'd like to take it back. i'd like to. i'd love to. renewables plus storage will be cheaper than fossil fuels . for cheaper than fossil fuels. for ten years i've heard today, not just from bob but from grant shapps energy storage and carbon capture will be major priorities. my is i've been heanng priorities. my is i've been hearing this for 20 years. is it realistic . well, the most realistic. well, the most interesting thing about today's announcement is this £20 billion going into carbon and storage develop . yeah. and what does develop. yeah. and what does that say to you it says the government has coming around to realising that fossil fuels are going to have to have a future carbon capture and storage . i carbon capture and storage. i mean, it's sort of ironic technology hasn't been on a large scale yet . if you're going large scale yet. if you're going to put £20 billion on it. why would you want to do that if you

weren't coming around to realise that fuels are going to have to continue to be part of our energy mix? and the reason for thatis energy mix? and the reason for that is of the intermittency problem. when the wind's not blowing, the sun's not shining at the moment. blowing, the sun's not shining at the moment . we are making up at the moment. we are making up for that with gas . at the moment. we are making up for that with gas. but by at the moment. we are making up for that with gas . but by 2035, for that with gas. but by 2035, the government said he wants to do away with the gas and what happens then really expensive energy storage, you think just as the european this week has shifted its targets has eased back on it. zero carbon commitments this 2030 target after which no internal washing changes are going to be made. it's to go, isn't it? i think we are going to have to go down the same route as the eu because no car manufacturer going to make cars specifically for the uk market going to, you know, they want to sell them around the world now. so, you know, if it becomes a standard product to, have a, you know, hybrids in or internal combustion engines

powered by fuel, then , you know, powered by fuel, then, you know, britain is going to be going to have to allow them as well. otherwise, you know, british motorists would have virtually no choice . i agree. what you get no choice. i agree. what you get jibes is people who disagree very strongly but civilised , very strongly but civilised, proper open debate . it's called proper open debate. it's called critical thinking. you can make your own minds up at home in a moment. we're not allowed to use word fat. good lord, though that would offend everybody. and yet good 50% of british fishermen lose their jobs because they're too fat back with you at the moment .

some of your thoughts on that previous debate. pete says, i like a referendum on all this green future. pete, as he walked , most of us would like a referendum. i think of a subject

on which westminster is more out of touch with the public than on this whole lunacy to go for net zero, whatever the cost to ordinary people , one viewer says ordinary people, one viewer says we can't afford the cost of fossil fuels . well, that's fine. fossil fuels. well, that's fine. whoever you . but actually , whoever you. but actually, actually, renewables can be more expensive too. stuart says , no, expensive too. stuart says, no, it's just a money making machine. how much total tax in the pound does average gullible uk working person treated by and tax? stuart if we add it up direct tax indirect tax at excess tax on and everything else don't think would even leave the front door and go to work. now one of the reasons the battle of the brexit was that i'll nation could get back to looking after the most renewable resource that it possesses . no,

resource that it possesses. no, i'm not joking. the fish it i'll says i'll up to 12 miles should be ours without condition but actually in the north sea and elsewhere up to 200 miles should be our own exclusive economic zone. be our own exclusive economic zone . but boris be our own exclusive economic zone. but boris , for all be our own exclusive economic zone . but boris , for all the zone. but boris, for all the brave yards, i did nothing of the sort. we now have probably more eu boats fishing up to our six mile line than ever before. but now what could be a killer blow for the inshore or under ten metre? one man or one woman fishing boats has hove into view . it is known as the ml. five medical report , a certificate medical report, a certificate page after page of the page of what you've got to put down for your medical condition to be allowed after this november two, even contain you in the fishing industry, it is causing , i would

industry, it is causing, i would say, a degree of panic. there is, i think , genuine concern is, i think, genuine concern lines is an inshore fisherman from norfolk, an campaigner for the fishing industry. both without being tricky on this isle. they say too you're to continue. well, what they're saying is always think 50% of the fishermen now actively seeking to live in from the sea will be overweight . bmi body will be overweight. bmi body mass. indication that was dreamt up mass. indication that was dreamt ”p by mass. indication that was dreamt up by a belgian mathematic. non—physician 200 years ago to get correlation now what's happenedis get correlation now what's happened is that now saying that we can't get medical start pushing things out. look crime father writes and i tell him as we walk i'll be right. but the trouble is the minister in that to bill move across the waters there he turn around a stroke or pen an exempt under four of

vessels out of this this is a un resolution as all the national liberal and one a adopted by the european. yes and yet from what i can understand, apart from spain, no other country is intending to bring it into power. well, no, they will not adhere to the knowledge. you know happens . i'll know exactly what happens. i'll remember. don't even know how much fish is coming out the sea and going into foreign ports at the minute. low. what men? man and conditions they work and what conditions they work unden and what conditions they work under. but i'm saying is we under. but what i'm saying is we will be out work because we won't get it. they assure we'll get grandfather out, but the same thing to look for the next generation, you do go go with that. generation, you do go go with that . so we've challenged the that. so we've challenged the marine and coastguard agency and they say to us, we want to reassure people that introducing medical certificates is not to prevent existing fishermen from working . we are supporting and working. we are supporting and preparing fishermen and will lead up to this requirement coming into force. we have made

sure grandfather rights are in place which considers pre—existing medical conditions . but even if your generation was grandfathered in. what about new people? well the trouble overis new people? well the trouble over is someone nine, 40 years old and can reach this target that they put to it 15 years time, he probably won't. so what he goes through is business away. and the thing of it is no guarantees that a sailor who worked on the deck of his trawlers fit running around like a racing rat when he did in that way like any skipper, he don't work anymore. he think in his brain catch that fish mean know where ago and that's experience a bit white on a spray just gold middle aged spread so is he then going to turn to be pushed out of business but? going to turn to be pushed out of business but ? what going to turn to be pushed out of business but? what you going to turn to be pushed out of business but ? what you got to of business but? what you got to remember is that but one velocity because the deck crew won't qualify to the boat won't qualify to take the boat so this has got huge implications. the minister need to really rethink what is he trying to achieve, what is what

is brexit, what has brexit brought for you? we can add brexit. we know john, that's not that. that was a toy . pretend that. that was a toy. pretend brexit. they haven't carried out yet because we haven't got nothing back. only a threat from europe . there was in five years europe. there was in five years there was a press report pulled last week saying british fishermen are catching £100 million. more fish than they were before brexit. oh, yeah, but that's a spin. but that's low. that's a spin. because that was factual, because if that was factual, that hundred million pound would break down. so the britain got 46 million of that because 54, are they viable ? quota is owned are they viable? quota is owned by companies that fish a pool. so that's never truth for a moment. now i'm going to pretend that i work for the and coastguard agency. i'm worried about paul lyons, his health. i'm going to put the scales down here. paul, get out there. let's whether you pass this or not, 112 kilo. no. now mean obviously kilos are, you know i'd rather use pounds analysis but 112

kilos how much your 37 bmi you are the you are not finished you are the you are not finished you are not fit but are finished but i feel that i'm pretty good . you i feel that i'm pretty good. you don't me to share? no. so let's ever go. let's see where we get on this . oh, i'm fine. ever go. let's see where we get on this . oh, i'm fine . 87.5 on this. oh, i'm fine. 87.5 kilos. our survey says . my bmi kilos. our survey says. my bmi is 27. that says i'm 25 and 30. i may not be fit to join the british fishing industry . british fishing industry. interestingly, the entire england rugby team , some of the england rugby team, some of the fittest lads you meet in your life, not one of them would pass the current bmi test. mark spencer fisheries minister, wake up to the fact that people like paul make up about 50% of the inshore fishing industry . if inshore fishing industry. if this comes into place , they're

this comes into place, they're all going to be out of work by november. or is this linked to grant shapps? his plan that we had earlier towards net zero? do they want more people like to be out of work to surround our beautiful seascape with wind farms ? is it actually farms? is it actually deliberate? and i'm not conspiratorial by that to stop me going to work. nigel will have to handcuff me and, drag me off that boat because to tell you what, that's all i've ever done. i'm not to carry on there and we've got a beach where i live being washed every tide that sea disappear. host official fat beach there no more. they there watching that happen. more. they there watching that happen . they don't care someone happen. they don't care someone to go get a bullet out pumps and wipe them up and get them to consider that this isn't made out of people who live inside the m24 corridor as they learn with the referendum that was the rural areas and the people outside that make this country

great. and i tell you what no his list and no one is care and about what we put up with coastal communities where under the bus and forgot about all these hundred and 70 employees. the word for that stupid fisheries deal that threatened . fisheries deal that threatened. in five years time we don't our fish back in our waters back we can't have a european exclusion zone because they threatened this were transport that threatened us were energy threats this with brexit needs to be completed properly and folks at home you watching this listening to this paul lyons and make me boil i think the lines here passionate it means that we a channel are right behind people like lyons will take over and all you fishermen don't get medicals done . what .

i can't even begin to you how disgusted i am by what samson is going to become. the idea that a massive investment , the idea massive investment, the idea that where guy gibson and those guys from 6171 out on the dambusters right and elsewhere is not going to become an important heritage centre and even that the red arrows and scampton was the home of the red arrows may not be able to continue to fly over that base. i'm absolutely furious . continue to fly over that base. i'm absolutely furious. i was left yesterday with a sinking feeling that maybe the campaign to save raaf scampton was over . to save raaf scampton was over. there's a petition out there on change.org. it's got 50,000 signatures. i've helped to it. i've done what i can. i went to scampton week. i care about this . i thought maybe it was all over but i'm pleased to say that sarah corsa is , continuing the sarah corsa is, continuing the campaign she's running save our

scampton she joins me down the line right now from scampton in lincolnshire . sarah, welcome to lincolnshire. sarah, welcome to the program but tell me, please realistically what can be done . realistically what can be done. oh anything and everything that we can do will be done. we have met lindsey district council trying to put an injunction in and we are reaching out to anyone and everyone that will listen. and if they don't rate making them listen, that, you know , this regeneration . £300 know, this regeneration. £300 million project has got to go ahead. million project has got to go ahead . you know , there's no ahead. you know, there's no other situation that will rest up . basically no, this the i get up. basically no, this the i get your passion. i understand. i mean, i was there last monday, as you know, i'm a huge in the project. but how do you get government to change their mind

. well, i don't know. i've got a great team working with me. chairman linton on is that went through the same thing last year they're also helping the council with the same legal team hoping the council so they're sort of trying to us in the in the right way so we've got a meeting hopefully that's planned soon, but there's a lot of in together to try and sort of it. so a three pronged attack on them because we don't believe that they realise exactly the situation up here and what they what they're potentially us through . and so the devastation through. and so the devastation and it will cause if we don't get this 300 million investment and everyone sitting down in london in their offices and they need to get up here. and so we've invited them up here actually come and see for themselves the situation could at my viewers and listeners and people following online and on the app, what can we do to help

you ? oh i mean, the support that you? oh i mean, the support that we've had so far, i wake up in the morning tonight, 30, 40 messages on facebook , the messages on facebook, the support out there from the people locally and further afield that have got that interest in military history. i've been signing the open letter which is go into the home office and also we're going to take the petition down to the home office as well . i'm just home office as well. i'm just going to keep on it and on them until they actually come and see what the situation is and, you know, i'm sure there's other things out there that we haven't thought of. we are going to do absolutely everything , anything. absolutely everything, anything. we're working with cameron holden as well. know , they holden as well. you know, they support us. we support them . and support us. we support them. and lindsey district council that well between us we can fight this . sarah well between us we can fight this. sarah carver i wish you well maybe i'll come back to scampton and do programme there. i want this to win. there's a

petition on i know i'm going to come don't worry, keep campaigning if you give up they win. thank you very much indeed . now the extraordinary. what the farage moment a member of the farage moment a member of the welsh parliament, the senedd jenny ross found. gosh, she's really top drawer. this is what she had to say . really top drawer. this is what she had to say. has many items broadcasting just information or hateful views . and it's hateful views. and it's currently broadcast through senate tv on our internal televisions. so i just wondered if any thought had been given whether it was appropriate for an organisation might continue to disseminate disinformation to be broadcast through our systems, to our staff and members . god systems, to our staff and members. god help us there systems, to our staff and members . god help us there she members. god help us there she is a of the labour party, a member of the welsh parliament doesn't like gb news things it should be banned next week. i'm

going to tell you all about the trans pacific partnership . going trans pacific partnership. going to tell you why through the times and the bbc it will be attacked as the next few months go by. but for now we'll leave that and look forward to james taylor because he is a double world superbike champion from doncaster. he's going to join me in just a moment.

in this in what has got to be i guess is there a more sport. oh crikey it's up there . i mean the crikey it's up there. i mean the isle of man tt crikey it's up there. i mean the isle of man t t racing which is obviously not. was it last year over half a dozen killed doing it's most years there fatalities unfortunately and but it's you know if you're an adrenaline junkie the closer to death you are, the more alive it is not what you are. yeah yeah. and the closer to death you are, the more exciting it is. and that is the that's the drug and that's what we get addicted to. and flying around and motorcycles at those speeds, especially if you are enough witness are lucky enough witness the elements . it's such a incredible elements. it's such a incredible spectacle and the bravery , those spectacle and the bravery, those guys and the risks that they take. you've got to understand why people risk to that level when especially when they go . when especially when they go. what do you why of you over the years risk to that level? what has been your motivation to do this incredibly dangerous thing? it's a difficult one to

describe. i think if you i think if you are on a machine and you go 200 miles an hour and you go 210 miles an hour, and you want to go faster than that and you can't enough of it. you need can't get enough of it. you need to tick certain way. and to tick a certain way. and there's not many of i don't there's not many of us, i don't think, in the world. so where do they come from? with you don't know. been naturally know. i've always been naturally competitive. so obviously being in perfect to be in sport was perfect to and be naturally an naturally competitive and an adrenaline able to adrenaline junkie to be able to win something and go with those speeds every single weekend , it speeds every single weekend, it just scratch itch that i naturally had. and it was it was perfect for me, perfect for a lot of people but yeah, there isn't honestly i've done the skydiving . i was i was up skydiving. i was i was up sailing down a building in sheffield last completely. i mean it was nice putting a bit of not so really i mean yeah but none of it honest i'll say it sailing all the skydiving it doesn't close to flying on a motorcycle and we were talking earlier about the fuel was on on the on the yacht club this big debate, you know, the internal

combustion engine . and the combustion engine. and the germans have clearly the european union not to end the manufacture of them do if he was actually work. yeah they do work and they've been tested and it keeps the combustion alive. and especially with motorcycles , especially with motorcycles, motorcycling as well. it keeps noise because a massive of our show is roll, roll or if you've watched any electric bike race, it is not the same or a formula e for example, compared to formula one. and if you you if you had a v12 or a v ten, formula one car going around the track to what it is now with the hybndsis track to what it is now with the hybrids is just not the same show we're pushing for these fuels . if we can run the fuels. if we can run the combustion engine, keep the noise, but not burn off and kick out the co2 , it's perfect for. out the co2, it's perfect for. well, this is what the european now are. i never thought i'd be pro the european union, but almost decision. they are over there. they're not listening at there. they're not listening at the moment. but maybe they will chose what? the worst injury you had doing this, the one that retired me, which to have

retired me, which i got to have my right wrist which my right wrist fuse, which doesn't so because doesn't move anymore. so because of the of with the throttle, the motorcycle, that one i'm motorcycle, that was one i'm thinking in the seventies. thinking back in the seventies. barry legal , barry shane it was legal, instructed or twice yeah. instructed once or twice yeah. every year. yeah unfortunately, no . some fixed conflict got the no. some fixed conflict got the better of in the end with barry but but i mean with barry's in the seventies especially i mean he's suit was thicker than this this there's a suit know so the protective gear and everything's moved on but yeah with the with the fuel thing it's really interesting because if we can, if we can kind of keep the noise, especially with the combustion, if this combustion, i would say if this can work , i'll be over the moon can work, i'll be over the moon . i think this move to electric vehicles is impractical. i . i think this move to electric vehicles is impractical . i know vehicles is impractical. i know that we've got the electricity . that we've got the electricity. what would you say, james? what would you say to 17, 18 year olds that want to get a motorbike? do you think britain's roads work for motorbikes. oh, crikey i mean, not so much the roads. it's the climate that doesn't necessarily lend itself. you know, six months of the year, you'd rather

not be on a motorcycle. well, you know, so it's more the weather rather than the roads the actually, if you've the roads. actually, if you've travelled are pretty travelled our roads are pretty good. know, the standard good. you know, the standard them and how good they are compared and around compared to in europe and around the world our networks are the world our road networks are very i mean we have a lot of restrictions now with road home since and speed comes in that which it little bit which make it a little bit tncky which make it a little bit tricky along the embankment that 20 miles an hour 24 hours a day. it's crazy, isn't it. yeah. i mean , you know, we have we have mean, you know, we have we have some of the best race trucks in the world, this little island, you know, silverstone, donington bruns, arch cadwell park, old park. you know, we have a plethora of circuits that you can buy a little truck by, can go and have a good browse around and you don't need to get the bulls on on the roads that you come on the racetrack anyway, you but what is the world you know. but what is the world championship did you championship twice? did you make any money out of this? yeah. yeah, well, it was very lucrative, know, top. lucrative, you know, at the top. but with most sport that but with with most sport that the the big money, you've the money, the big money, you've got to is right there there

got to is right there on there it fists you it is anything than fists you know. i mean obviously i moved into the music industry as well from racing and the music and the travelling and the touring compared to the sport. just it's not just the money that there's different, just the way of life from, from, from being a sportsman to a musician. yeah tell us about music. yeah, yeah , i did some. well i mean i was i was wanting to use this platform to obviously , you know, platform to obviously, you know, being an advocate of brexit, i think the music industry was, you know, it's been a disaster for it. you know, with all the carnage with all the travelling 90 hundred and 80 day 90 nights and hundred and 80 day days year, you know, days of the year, you know, let's stay in europe, etc, etc, etc. you know, when you get you support deep purple and one of the biggest bands in the world, we got a certain fee and one actually. now you need a carnie for every single european country to go and play him. don't even meet that you don't even meet that that you doing it's a huge but as doing it is it's a huge but as roger daltrey said, we were touring europe. i'm doing concerts gigs concerts and doing gigs way before joined the common

before we joined the common market. yeah. so going on market. yeah. so what's going on is restriction is being is the restriction is being imposed. spain is has not done the same restrictions. you can you can move around as a, as an artist. it's mindedness isn't it. yeah. and he's like talking to yourself on, on, on, on wanting a, a particular brexit that work us in the music industry . that work us in the music industry. how, that work us in the music industry . how, how do you that work us in the music industry. how, how do you think as an answer to all the musicians out there, i was wanting to ask you particular because you wanted a brexit and well, i wanted to be a free country. yeah. and how do we get around other countries not wanting to have our rules on what we'd like to do from this , what we'd like to do from this, that we've kind of succumb to? i think the answer is james, the dealis think the answer is james, the deal is but i mean rubbish. the guest before you paul the fisherman from great yarmouth has seen almost no benefit and yet potentially he could have done. yet potentially he could have done . i think we're getting done. i think we're getting mindedness from europe. i think also his point that we've always you know, had musicians go back and forth i think we all this

out but i worry that our government doesn't quite have the resolve . so it's our it's the resolve. so it's our it's our government that can't negotiate it or doesn't want to negotiate it or doesn't want to negotiate . these things are negotiate. these things are making it possible for all to it could and artists say in this country is it possible for our government to put legislation that all artists performing artists that are travelling all around europe have a free rein to travelling around. we would need cooperation from other european countries, but is they spain already is in that place . spain already is in that place. it just needs it needs determination and belief and i think brexit came across this place here as a heck of shock. they haven't quite adjusted to it yet . they will in time it yet. they will in time because. we're not going back. yeah, i'm just. i'm just worried. there's going to be a lot of artists that are going to kind of really suffering in this little going little period. they were going to being a people to lose a of being a people being able to tour. there is a big world outside europe to yes, but it's more expensive to go beyond well. there's

beyond that as well. there's a big world that, way, are big world that, by the way, are you more money your in you making more money your in music made it now. music than he made it now. but as no you it's not as for no you know it's not about the money is as well it's i mean if you can if you can do which you prefer, i prefer the writing to scratch age of writing to scratch the age of needing have something to needing to have something to take tyson . take that well. james tyson. yeah. adrenaline junkie. yes i'll try to keep it short. you hooked spooky buds . och, we have hooked spooky buds. och, we have got a couple of barrage. the fire is adrienne asks me should donald trump accept the 2020 presidential election result? trump was furious. presidential election result? trump was furious . the result trump was furious. the result furious about tens of millions of mail out ballots going out around the country, as indeed i have been over postal voting mean what happened in 2019 in the peter ribeye election where a guy who was a previously

convicted fraudster turned up with a tesco's bag with 1000 votes for the labour party and the brexit party candidate lost by 600 votes. i postal voting is always open to corruption , but i always open to corruption, but i felt all the way through the trump message of the stolen election too negative, far better to talk about electoral reform , and i do think actually reform, and i do think actually the republicans are beginning to do that. thank goodness people do that. thank goodness people do not want a constant diet of negativity. they to see the sunlit uplands that we can get to two over. one more anger asks me , how would you have led the me, how would you have led the country during the pandemic? and let me tell you something . there let me tell you something. there would have been one lockdown, and after that there have been no more lockdowns , i could be no more lockdowns, i could be flippant and say it would have been party time. it wouldn't quite have been party time . but quite have been party time. but i think we're beginning to learn that long term. the cost of lockdown, economic , socially

lockdown, economic, socially medically psychologic likely it'll turn out to be the biggest mistake any british government ever made. and we didn't need to do it. florida different. sweden, the different with far better outcomes but that's enough for me . jacob rees—mogg enough for me. jacob rees—mogg what we have this evening. well there's an report from policy exchange on how gender issues are taught at schools and how don't tell parents what they're teaching and cover it up from parents. and this seems to be a real scandal. so we're going to be discussing that and we'll again be discussing the failures of the bank of england with roger great roger bootle. well, roger, great man . bank of england, absolutely man. bank of england, absolutely hopeless under andrew out to lunch bayley jacob the family. why is the conservative party not been defending the family i understand it. the family is the core of our society and the state always wants to put the family second because that's how the state controls. the family is the big bastion . state
