wrong as well, because while there is absolutely legitimate criticism to be made of the government for their handling of the justice system and funding cuts and the stats covered a ten year period and rishi sunak been prime minister for a fraction of that. prime minister for a fraction of that . but i prime minister for a fraction of that. but i suppose this comes hot on the tails of boris johnson accusing keir starmer of not investigating jemmy savile also. so not investigating jemmy savile also . so people at the time from also. so people at the time from oom— also. so people at the time from both oamiee— so people at the time from both parties distanced themselves- both parties distanced themselves from that comment, eawime— themselves from that comment, eawime-oaeea— themselves from that comment, saying based truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it] based truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it seems based truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it seems t0)ased truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it seems to bead truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it seems to be a truth, themselves from that comment, sayi it seems to be a sticky ith, but it seems to be a sticky meeeaee— but it seems to be a sticky message-that- but it seems to be a sticky message _that the message. erg is that what the iaoow— message. erg is that what the iaiow raw— message. erg is that what the labour party is— message. erg is that what the labour party is going for? i ion-o— labour party is going for? i ion-t mimi— labour party is going for? i don't think it's— labour party is going for? i don't think it's going- labour party is going for? i don't think it's going for that . and the boris johnson reference to keir starmer when he ran the cps and jemmy savile was a pretty disgusting one and it sank like a lead balloon. thankfully i don't think this is quite in the same territory, but it's still pretty unpleasant and it's still pretty unpleasant and it was interesting that lucy powell respect a lot as a powell, who i respect a lot as a very effective decent very effective and decent shadow cabinet minister, was clearly a little bit uncomfortable with it and very caveated in her remarks about it . as i say, there is a about it. as i say, there is a legitimate critique of, i think looks at the ministry of justice
3:23 am
funding being cut by 25% over nine years. but this is not the way to land that critique is part of the problem . i mean, as part of the problem. i mean, as though mudslinging_ part of the problem. i mean, as though mudslinging has- i mean, as though mudslinging has always been— though mudslinging has always been involved— though mudslinging has always been involved in— though mudslinging has always been involved in politics. but the been involved in politics. but me faer— been involved in politics. but the fact that— been involved in politics. but the fact that it— been involved in politics. but the fact that it is— been involved in politics. but the fact that it is so personal , mar— the fact that it is so personal , mar eeeme— the fact that it is so personal , that seems to— the fact that it is so personal , that seems to be the difference _ , that seems to be the difference here. yeah i mean, i mimi— difference here. yeah i mean, i mimi ite— difference here. yeah i mean, i mimi ir-e ome— difference here. yeah i mean, i think it's one of— difference here. yeah i mean, i think it's one of these unwritten _ think it's one of these unwritten codes we have in britain— unwritten codes we have in britain a— unwritten codes we have in britain a bit— unwritten codes we have in britain a bit like a bit like me— britain a bit like a bit like the constitution. ”i575" the constitution. so you refer to boris johnson claim that to a boris johnson claim that was extremely unpleasant. the tories had the demonised poster about tony blair in 97, contrasting him with that that bambi image and jeremy corbyn, who by all accounts was not very effective at all, but was repeatedly referred to as a man who hates britain, which don't who hates britain, which i don't think either, is just think was true either, is just his definition of patriotism was different many different to that of many others. so i think the personal stuff just the off. stuff just turns the public off. and this is another example of that. yeah that's one of the interesting points. i was heanng interesting points. i was hearing earlier hearing someone discuss earlier mar—oaemiie- hearing someone discuss earlier that backfire because that this might backfire because it that this might backfire because ir miem— that this might backfire because it might make— that this might backfire because it might make people actually mave— it might make people actually have-foi— it might make people actuallyi have _for-sunak have sympathy for rishi sunak oeeaaee— have sympathy for rishi sunak oeeaaee ire-e— have sympathy for rishi sunak because he's so— have sympathy for rishi sunak because he's so named in these campaigne— because he's so named in these eamaaieme. meee— because he's so named in these campaigns. these aren't just

read information, how they how they actually take their information now in small bite sized chunks . and it can be sized chunks. and it can be unpleasant and actually , if it's unpleasant and actually, if it's not even true, it doesn't matter . put out there. . let's put it out there. i don't think actually, as your guest said, i think they've got this because if it this one wrong, because if it gets personal, i think it gets too personal, i think it actually turns people off. and i think irritated by think they just get irritated by it . it irritates me. clever it. it irritates me. clever campaign is are good point out problems. that's good. that's politics. but when gets to politics. but when it gets to this level you kind of wonder at what has politics sunk what level has politics sunk too? sadly it seems to me almost too? sadly it seems to me almost to reality tv level and that's not what i would like to see it. yeah, i mean, i'll take your point,— yeah, i mean, i'll take your aeim, nat,— yeah, i mean, i'll take your point, neil, but— yeah, i mean, i'll take your point, neil, but also linda, iii—om- point, neil, but also linda,| i-ii—om-ome i'll bring you in on this one mar-e— i'll bring you in on this one mar-e eawimg— i'll bring you in on this one that's saying almost as if the reason we shouldn't we shouldn't like reason we shouldn't we shouldn't iiieli— reason we shouldn't we shouldn't iiieli meam— reason we shouldn't we shouldn't like-i mean, it's— reason we shouldn't we shouldn't like-i mean, it's not- reason we shouldn't we shouldn't like i mean, it's not gone like it. i mean, it's not gone weii— like it. i mean, it's not gone war, mae— like it. i mean, it's not gone war, mae io— like it. i mean, it's not gone well, has it? this— like it. i mean, it's not gone well, has it? this doesn't seem to—of— well, has it? this doesn't seem to—of om- well, has it? this doesn't seem to_of on either- well, has it? this doesn't seemi to_of on either side to be approved of on either side of to be approved of on either side oi me— to be approved of on either side of the political— to be approved of on either side of the political spectrum . so of the political spectrum. so mie— of the political spectrum. so iiie ie— of the political spectrum. so iiie ie moi— of the political spectrum. so this is not just— of the political spectrum. so this is not just about politics meaoimo— this is not just about politics iieaoimo io— this is not just about politics heading to lowest heading to the lowest common oemomimaioi. — heading to the lowest common denominator. reality denominator. and like reality tv, denominator. and like reality “fr-lap— denominator. and like reality tvr.lap-up-- denominator. and like reality ivliao-ao. wo- denominator. and like reality tv, lap up. no one seems tv, we lap this up. no one seems to tv, we lap this up. no one seems io oe— tv, we lap this up. no one seems io oe lapping— tv, we lap this up. no one seems io oe iaooimg mie— tv, we lap this up. no one seems to be lapping this up. \:::i to be lapping this up. no, i ion-i— to be lapping this up. no, i ion-i mini— to be lapping this up. no, i don't think anyone has. and i
3:27 am
think if anyone was going do think if anyone was going to do some calculation on some kind of risk calculation on this, have realised this, they should have realised the that this the strong possibility that this approach backfire. think approach would backfire. i think there's , isn't there's a latin phrase, isn't there, which means there, ad hominem, which means that take the man and that you take down the man and not policy, and it's really, not the policy, and it's really, really . it's the politics of really bad. it's the politics of the gutter . there's no point in the gutter. there's no point in taking down sunak anyway taking down rishi sunak anyway because wasn't involved in in because he wasn't involved in in any kind of stuff about child sex offenders , because he wasn't sex offenders, because he wasn't in a position to be in the time penod in a position to be in the time period concerned. he wasn't, in fact even an mp for five of those years. and yet weirdly , it those years. and yet weirdly, it was keir starmer who was actually on the sentencing council during the period in question. and then on top of all of that, the shadow home secretary, yvette cooper, appears not to have even known that this was about to happen . that this was about to happen. thatis that this was about to happen. that is the woman who's in charge of the shadow crime policy, and she didn't know what was going on. so i don't know what's happening here, but i think the overarching my overarching view is that it's chaotic and deeply unpleasant
3:28 am

3:30 am
good question. so i think something i find as a labour activist is that we're all quite idealistic erg and i think perhaps conservatives sometimes and i have conservative friends are perhaps quite pragmatic about some of their politics. i think there's always a risk for labour that that will say and labour that that it will say and you saw this under corbyn, we're nicer than the other guys and girls vote for us because we care a bit more . and similarly, care a bit more. and similarly, the have sometimes played the tories have sometimes played in of yes, we are in a strategy of yes, we are a bit mean, but we're competent, especially on things the especially on things like the economy. think of those economy. i think both of those approaches completely approaches are completely reductive because johnson reductive because boris johnson showed the tories not showed the tories are not competent and some of the events in labour last five in labour over the last five years have shown that while a lot folk lovely, lot of labour folk are lovely, they're always like that they're not always like that 100% time. everyone and 100% of the time. everyone and i do stress as an all sides every every party has lapses of judgement. occasionally okay. well for that . judgement. occasionally okay.j well-for that . that's well thank you for that. that's ieiei— well thank you for that. that's peter—editor. well thank you for that. that'si peter—editor of peter edwards, former editor of iaoowiiei. — peter edwards, former editor of labourlist. coming up next, weii— labourlist. coming up next, we-ii oo— labourlist. coming up next, we'll do three— labourlist. coming up next, we'll do three quick fire topics wiii— we'll do three quick fire topics wiiii-oamoiie— we'll do three quick fire topics wiii-oamoiie .— we'll do three quick fire topics with-pundits . we- we'll do three quick fire topics with pundits . we will ask, with the pundits. we will ask, are-ooeioie— with the pundits. we will ask, are-doctors pays- with the pundits. we will ask, are doctors pays demands are the doctors pays demands ameaiieeo— are the doctors pays demands unrealised btec._ are the doctors pays demands unrealised btec. should the cowor— unrealised btec. should the ciweii oi— unrealised btec. should the church of england have set aside

no growth in the economy. that's the underlying problem. so until we get that sorted out and we grip inflation, that sorted out as well, these wage battles aren't going to go away . and aren't going to go away. and many of them are with some of our most essential key workers , our most essential key workers, those who have to be supported . those who have to be supported. junior doctors work very , very, junior doctors work very, very, very long weeks and they earn £55,000. now, that's not that much for doing what they do . i much for doing what they do. i don't care what anyone says. i think they do deserve more money and really, they're pushed right up against a wall. now they have to take industrial action . to take industrial action. that's that. nigel is it about me— that's that. nigel is it about the absolute— that's that. nigel is it about the absolute amount- nigel is it about the absolute amount that they get the absolute amount that they eei oaio— the absolute amount that they eei paid or— the absolute amount that they eei paid or ie— the absolute amount that they get paid or is it— the absolute amount that they get paid or is it more about mie— get paid or is it more about this building— get paid or is it more about this building up— get paid or is it more about this building up over the years not this building up over the years moi iawimo— this building up over the years moi iawimo a— this building up over the years moi having a pay— this building up over the years not having a pay rise that maieiiee— not having a pay rise that matches with— not having a pay rise that matches with inflation so ieeamiieee— matches with inflation sol regardless—get matches with inflation so- regardless_get paid, regardless of what you get paid, ten regardless of what you get paid, iem weare— regardless of what you get paid, iem years ago.— regardless of what you get paid, iem years ago. you— regardless of what you get paid, ten years ago, you would have in regardless of what you get paid, ten jtermsigo, you would have in regardless of what you get paid, ten jterms beenou would have in regardless of what you get paid, ten jterms been beingild have in regardless of what you get paid, ten jterms been being paid ave in real terms been being paid more. team— real terms been being paid more. team-iem.— real terms been being paid more. team-mem- ami— real terms been being paid more. yeah,-right. and that's- yeah, that's right. and that's their argument for this 35% pay rise. in answer to the rise. but in answer to the original question, yeah, it's unrealistic . there's no way the unrealistic. there's no way the government that . if they

government can do that. if they started paying out 35, they'd have it to other people have to pay it to other people too. but the junior doctors too. so but the junior doctors know it's unrealistic . what they know it's unrealistic. what they want is for steve barclay , the want is for steve barclay, the health secretary, to talk to them realistically about pay . them realistically about pay. steve barclay says, no, i won't talk to you till you call off your strike. so you end up with a stalemate. if still steve barclay would tomorrow , no, barclay would say tomorrow, no, or on tuesday morning, right, lads, come in. i've got a realistic offer to give you. let's talk about it. that strike will called off and that's will be called off and that's the it's gone . there have the way it's gone. there have been wiii— the way it's gone. there have been with previous— c 3 there have been with previous strikes the eiaim— been with previous strikes the eiaim mai— been with previous strikes the claim that no,— been with previous strikes the claim that no, there'll be no iaiiimo— claim that no, there'll be no iaiiimo-oi— claim that no, there'll be no talking of course, strike talking and of course, a strike wiii— talking and of course, a strike wiii-ewei— talking and of course, a strike will-ever-with- talking and of course, a strike will ever with talking. will only ever end with talking. it's will only ever end with talking. ii-e ime— will only ever end with talking. it's like-scene— will only ever end with talking. it's like-scene in- will only ever end with talking. it's like scene in that it's like that scene in that ieiei— peter capaldi, doctor who eoieooe— peter capaldi, doctor who episode _war,l peter capaldi, doctor whoi episode _war, of peter capaldi, doctor who- episode _war, of course episode the end a war, of course .lmae— episode the end a war, of course .liiae io— episode the end a war, of course .liiae io emo— episode the end a war, of course ,.has to end with— episode the end a war, of course , has to end with sitting , it has to end with sitting aomo— , it has to end with sitting around a— , it has to end with sitting around a discussing around a table discussing iiimoe— around a table discussing. iiimoe—mave things. yeah, you must have megoiiaieo— things. yeah, you must have negotiated some contracts in wow— negotiated some contracts in. wow—oaii your time. you always high ball at your time. you always high ball ai-oom-i— your time. you always high ball ai-oom-i vou- your time. you always high ball ai-oom-i woo .- your time. you always high ball at don't you , joe? at the start, don't you, joe? meii. — at the start, don't you, joe? meii. .— at the start, don't you, joe? meii. . oi— at the start, don't you, joe? well,-, of course- at the start, don't you, joe? well,-, of course you. at the start, don't you, joe? i well,-, of course you do. well, look, of course you do. and i think everything i've read about, none of these people want and i think everything i've read ab strike.ine of these people want and i think everything i've read ab strike.inmean,ese people want and i think everything i've read ab strike.inmean, apartzople want and i think everything i've read ab strike.inmean, apart from want to strike. i mean, apart from maybe a militant people, maybe a few militant people, they want to work. and they want to go to work. and like everyone , whether it's been
3:38 am
they want to go to work. and like nurses ne , whether it's been they want to go to work. and like nurses or , whether it's been they want to go to work. and like nurses or the lether it's been they want to go to work. and like nurses or the train' it's been they want to go to work. and like nurses or the train drivers,3n the nurses or the train drivers, whoever it may be, i suppose you just want to paid fairly for just want to get paid fairly for what the young doctors what you do. the young doctors have a really strained life, it seems. not that i've ever been one, but everything i've read and we know hours are and we know the hours are ridiculous. and although 55 grand like a lot of money grand sounds like a lot of money and not a small amount of and it's not a small amount of money for what they paid, money for what they get paid, it's suppose if you it's hard work. i suppose if you factor in inflation they reckon they they're like 26% down on what they were many years ago. so but that's the same i guess probably with the nurses and for everyone at the moment and teachers and i suppose as you said , nothing will ever happen said, nothing will ever happen unless people will sit down around a table and talk, but talk sensibly and i suppose they probably these are the kind of people you don't go into it to make of money to into make loads of money to go into the you go into it because it's a vocation, right? so for nurses the you go into it because it's a vo doctors,ight? so for nurses the you go into it because it's a vo doctors,ight?get for nurses the you go into it because it's a vo doctors,ight?get intorurses the you go into it because it's a vo doctors,ight?get intorurfor and doctors, you get into it for that reason. so i can't imagine that reason. so i can't imagine that the devastation , that they know the devastation, the cause with the problems it will cause with people having operations, the problems it will cause with peo getting having operations, the problems it will cause with peo getting emergency �*ations, the problems it will cause with peo getting emergency treatment not getting emergency treatment and others that aren't striking
3:39 am
will do the best they can because they always do. but i guess, you know, we've just had covid. we went through all that. we're there clapping every we're out there clapping every thursday night or were thursday night or we were for a certain that certain time. and it seems that that very quickly forgotten. that got very quickly forgotten. and is a conversation that and this is a conversation that probably been going probably should have been going on than it's been on a lot sooner than it's been going on. it's come to a real head and you just want some head now and you just want some sensible heads together sensible heads to get together and let's get round and go, let's get round the table, for everyone table, please, for everyone concerned, how can we best sort it there money it out there isn't any money in the know problems . the pot. you know the problems. but other hand, how can but on the other hand, how can we help you so this we how can we help you so this doesn't happen again? people to talk sensibly. you're optimistic,- optimistic, aren't archbishop of camieiiwm— optimistic, aren't archbishop of canterbury, welby used canterbury, justin welby used his canterbury, justin welby used iiieee-mom— canterbury, justin welby used his-sermon today- canterbury, justin welby used his sermon today in part his easter sermon today in part to his easter sermon today in part io oeiemo— his easter sermon today in part io oeiemo ime— his easter sermon today in part to defend the fund set up to aooieee— to defend the fund set up to address the— to defend the fund set up to address the church of england's oaei— address the church of england's oaei-io— address the church of england's oaei-io eiawem— address the church of england's past to slavery. the £100 past links to slavery. the £100 miiiiom— past links to slavery. the £100 million social— past links to slavery. the £100 million social impact fund was oieooeo— million social impact fund was pledged im— million social impact fund was pledged in january, and welby eawe— pledged in january, and welby eawe ii-e— pledged in january, and welby eawe ii-e moi— pledged in january, and welby says it's not post—colonial oaiii— says it's not post—colonial oaiii .— says it's not post—colonial eoiii . om— says it's not post—colonial guilt , but there- says it's not post—colonial guilt, but there was, quote, imooeeioie— guilt, but there was, quote, impossible not— guilt, but there was, quote, impossible not to respond. when we mai— impossible not to respond. when we imai we— impossible not to respond. when we see that we had— impossible not to respond. when we see that we had done actions mai— we see that we had done actions imai oemieo— we see that we had done actions that denied the— we see that we had done actions that denied the reality of god's amiweieai— that denied the reality of god's universal power— that denied the reality of god's universal power and love, nigel is universal power and love, nigel ie me— universal power and love, nigel is the archbishop— universal power and love, nigel is the archbishop right about
3:40 am
imiee— is the archbishop right about iiiee iieii— is the archbishop right about this? well the _ is the archbishop right about this? well the first question is, this? well the first question ie where— this? well the first question is, where did— this? well the first question is, where did he— this? well the first question is, where did he find this £100 miiiiome — is, where did he find this £100 miiiiome i— is, where did he find this £100 million? i thought- is, where did he find this £100 million? 3 5“. 5“ million? i thought the church was actually rather poor and an awful lot of them are falling down. so suddenly he brings this money out from the back of the sofa and says, we can actually make reparations for slavery . make reparations for slavery. the question is, should the overall question is, should you be making reparations and apologising for everything that happenedin apologising for everything that happened in our past history ? my happened in our past history? my own view is that it should be for things within living memory or where relatives are. relatives of people affected are still alive, where you actually can do some good. the idea of going back into history and constantly making reparations is difficult. however it's the it seems to me the archbishop's money, if he wants to spend it that way, that's his choice. i think that if the government started doing it and it was us taxpayers affected , we might taxpayers affected, we might have something to say about it . have something to say about it. yeah. linda, do you think yeah. linda, what do you think aooai— about this? i mean, we're iaiiimo—ioii about this? i mean, we're talking—lot the talking reparations a lot in the ai— talking reparations a lot in the ai ime— talking reparations a lot in the news at the moment. i know. i mini— news at the moment. i know. i iimi me— news at the moment. i know. i think the question here that think the question here is that the the archbishop the money, the archbishop is talking is the money made
3:41 am
talking about is the money made off the back of slavery hundreds off the back of slavery hundreds of years ago that continues to affect some organisations and some communities and some people these days. so a part of that money should go to those people. but i'm really against the idea that you continually pay reparations historically or right across the board has got to be a mistake because you just can't afford to keep doing that. history is history. it's happened and we need to move on. i think it's wrong all the time. i think it's wrong all the time. i think it's wrong all the time. i think the one thing i would say about i've read the archbishop speech is that he talks it not being talks about it not being attached to post—colonial guilt . i mean, he should just have left that out of it because what do we need to know that we don't need to know we don't need need to know that we don't need an excuse ? mean, like an excuse? i mean, like like nigel, i am surprised. he obviously looked under the mattress and found this amount of and it did surprise me. of money and it did surprise me. but we don't need any justification. quite justification. and then a quite long and incomprehensible splurge about the mercy of god. now, i was at mass this morning and i listened to my priest
3:42 am

3:52 am
well. although things over the last 25 years have been better. but it's rather ironic , i think, but it's rather ironic, i think, that just as people are commemorating it, that actually the belfast agreement is now pretty shattered. you know, the stormont is not sitting and even david trimble, who was one of the architects of the belfast agreement, just before he died, wrote to say that it had been completely broken down by the protocol . so we're in completely broken down by the protocol. so we're in a situation where there's going to be lots of kind of memorials to it, but actually on a day to day bafis it, but actually on a day to day basis now it's probably the belfast agreement is broken and thatis belfast agreement is broken and that is going to require a great deal of fixing. so talk to us about the role that the good friday agreement plays in the disputes about the northern ireland protocol. well, i'll the ieaiiiw— ireland protocol. well, i'll the ieaiiiw ie— ireland protocol. well, i'll the reality is that— ireland protocol. well, i'll the reality is that the— : 5 well, i'll the reality is that the belfast 5545“: 5 well, i'll the reality is that the belfast good mioaw— reality is that the belfast good friday agreement— reality is that the belfast good friday agreement had nothing in it friday agreement had nothing in ii aooai— friday agreement had nothing in it about borders— friday agreement had nothing in it about borders and structures at it about borders and structures
3:53 am
ai ooioeie— it about borders and structures at borders all— it about borders and structures at borders all it— it about borders and structures at borders all it said was that it at borders all it said was that ii wamieo— at borders all it said was that ii wamieo io— at borders all it said was that it wanted to make sure there was no it wanted to make sure there was mo eeewiiw— it wanted to make sure there was no security infrastructure at me— no security infrastructure at me ooioei— no security infrastructure at me ooioei. — no security infrastructure at the border . and- no security infrastructure at the border . ' “: l. the border. and unfortunately, when the united kingdom voted to leave , the european union and leave, the european union and people in northern ireland had the same ballot paper saying , do the same ballot paper saying, do you want to leave as the uk ? not you want to leave as the uk? not do you want to leave northern ireland the european union ireland out? the european union , coupled irish , coupled with the irish government , realised that this government, realised that this was soft spot left to was quite a soft spot left to punish the united kingdom for leaving and that northern ireland. and they kept going on over and over again. we can't possibly a border or a hard possibly have a border or a hard border. they kept using the word hard without defining it hard border without defining it on island of ireland . and so on the island of ireland. and so ultimately our own government then accepted that there would be a border down the irish sea dividing our own country. so we're now in this ridiculous situation, even with the winds of framework, which was the recent changes to the protocol, hasn't really changed. the structural issue that northern ireland is has has been left under eu rules in the single
3:54 am
market for trading issues and under the european court of justice . and so as the rest of justice. and so as the rest of great britain diverges more and more from the eu , northern more from the eu, northern ireland will be left behind and thatis ireland will be left behind and that is now the main reason why stormont is not sitting. why the democratic unionist party have said they won't go back in and in the form of government that was set up by the belfast agreement. it has to be a form of power sharing, so it has to be the two communities working together and so, so sinn fein a few years ago brought down the assembly for three years. now the dup have brought it down for over a year and we're in a situation where biden's coming on tuesday . situation where biden's coming on tuesday. he can't situation where biden's coming on tuesday . he can't actually on tuesday. he can't actually even go to stormont to address the mlas because stormont is not sitting . and i think the whole sitting. and i think the whole thing would be a little bit of a hyping up of something that actually because of the action of our own government is, is no
3:55 am
longer working. so so if we pay attention to the news and realise there's been a rise in violence lately , do you think violence lately, do you think the motivation force is the issue to do with the northern ireland protocol or are other factors at work here? well , i factors at work here? well, i think that obviously- 5 �* well, i think that obviously there have aiwawe— think that obviously there have aiwawe ieem— think that obviously there have always been elements within the ioeoaoiieam— always been elements within the republican movement who haven't given— republican movement who haven't giwem ao— republican movement who haven't giwem oo om— republican movement who haven't giwem up om ime— republican movement who haven't given up on the violence aiiiiaoe— given up on the violence attitude towards getting what mew— attitude towards getting what mew wami— attitude towards getting what they want, which is a united iieiamo— they want, which is a united ireland and— they want, which is a united ireland and we— they want, which is a united ireland and we have seen breakaway— ireland and we have seen breakaway groups from the oiiieiai— breakaway groups from the oiiieiai .— breakaway groups from the official , you— breakaway groups from the official , you know, the official official, you know, the official rd.— official, you know, the official iioi. ime— official, you know, the official ira, the main— official, you know, the official ira, the main ira, provisional iioi. — ira, the main ira, provisional iioi. ima— ira, the main ira, provisional iioi. ami ow— ira, the main ira, provisional ira. and now we've- ira, the main ira, provisional ira. and now we've got the real ira. and now we've got the real ira who are responsible recently for the attack on the police sergeant in in northern ireland. just a couple of weeks ago. and we are you know, it is worrying . it is worrying because there are groups that may not be very big and they may not have the huge support that the ira had .
3:56 am
huge support that the ira had. but they're there and they have threatened, you know, and our security forces have definitely got intelligence that there wanting to, you know, make some kind of attack. and whether they would do it when biden is here, president biden , because president biden, because president biden, because president biden, because president biden hasn't actually shown much interest in northern ireland. he's he is very , very ireland. he's he is very, very irish. i mean , he even made irish. i mean, he even made a comment one day about, you know, made a joke , saint patrick's made a joke, saint patrick's day, which didn't go down very well about no orange when well about no orange hair when he was standing in front of a lot of irish people. so, you know, huge know, there's not huge enthusiasm for biden coming anyway. but i think it i think it's unlikely that the elements of republicanism would want to upset the american us in that way. so but yes, there is no doubt about it that things are are not good in northern ireland. and i'm afraid our own government has a lot of responsibility for that . thank responsibility for that. thank you very much.

4:12 am
idea, because what you don't want is people getting onto twitter and grandstanding and making a meal out of this whole predicament. as i said earlier, it's common sense. and those people be building people shouldn't be building their twitter feed and building up to a twitter storm by saying , actually, it's all fine. everyone be sing along. everyone should be sing along. and want to go to because and i want to go to because i think that's really unfair. and they're self validating. nigel, does this come down- they're self validating. nigel, does this come down to- :5 “i; nigel, does this come down to some sort of entitlement— does this come down to some sort of entitlement ,_ does this come down to some sort of entitlement , the— does this come down to some sort of entitlement , the idea that of entitlement, the idea that ii— of entitlement, the idea that even if someone— of entitlement, the idea that even if someone says , as neil even if someone says, as neil wae-woaio— even if someone says, as neil wae-woaio you- even if someone says, as neil was would you mind was saying, would you mind eiweiimo— was saying, would you mindi shushing,_watch shushing, i'm trying to watch the shushing, i'm trying to watch ime—reorie- shushing, i'm trying to watch the—people feeli shushing, i'm trying to watch. the—people feel so the show, some people feel so emiiiieo— the show, some people feel so emiiiieo io— the show, some people feel so entitled to carry— the show, some people feel so entitled to carry on and then mai-e— entitled to carry on and then mate-me— entitled to carry on and then that's-the fight- entitled to carry on and then that's the fight start . that's when the fight start. meii. — that's when the fight start. meii. -oeooie— that's when the fight start. well, - people are - that's when the fight start. well, _people are just. that's when the fight start. - well,-people are just plain well, some people are just plain rude and think that whatever rude and i think that whatever happened there is probably got more to do with drink being taken than some kind of lockdown hangoven taken than some kind of lockdown hangover. and obviously, if you go to the theatre and you're watching, watching people perform, the last thing you're meant to do is interrupt them while they're doing it. it was it was perfectly clear there were up at the at the were signs up at the at the theatre saying, saying don't ,

obviously, was experience of her as a leader , as a colleague. she as a leader, as a colleague. she was always personally very kind but very, very focussed on what she was doing. and in the end i think that was her undoing because she believed the poll tax, for example , to be tax, for example, to be absolutely right, wouldn't be gainsaid on the issue and stuck to it because it was what she believed in and in the end, that was, i think , her undoing. she was, i think, her undoing. she had got used to carrying people with her. she'd got used to people falling in with her vision . she didn't really handle vision. she didn't really handle it terribly well when suddenly people started going in the opposite direction . did that opposite direction. did that play opposite direction. did that play a part in why she was certainly able to polarise opinion, should we say, as we saw by some of the nation's response when she passed ? well, response when she passed? well, the two different extremes- “ :�* well, the two different extremes of response were _ the two different extremes of response were both present. so do you— response were both present. so do you mmk— response were both present. so do you think that's why she managed— do you think that's why she managed io— do you think that's why she managed to polarise opinion so much? — managed to polarise opinion so much? lmmk— managed to polarise opinion so much? ithink she— managed to polarise opinion so much? i think she polarised opinion simply because she knew
4:21 am
what she wanted to do and she did it, as i say, you know, that that actually is rarer than it sounds in politics at and people who agreed with what she was doing obviously thought she was wonderful . people who did not wonderful. people who did not agree with what she was doing , agree with what she was doing, obviously took the exact opposite line. now, when she came to power, all public utility were delivered through vast state monopolies. she privatised them and then major and blair carried on the privatisation programme. it was so manifestly right. it was an age in which the waitress in the boardroom was just as likely to have shares as the director. she wouldn't have as many, but she'd have shares, she'd have an interest in that company. it was an age in which people started to own their own homes as a matter of course. we forget now that thatcher made that possible through tax relief on mortgages, something we you know , something something we you know, something that happened that we wouldn't
4:22 am
dream of now, but that was because she wanted to encourage a trend, an and so it was a complete different country . when complete different country. when she had finished . and i dearly she had finished. and i dearly wish she'd gone on i supported her in the in the election in which she was deposed. i supported thatcher. i would if i had my time over again, still support thatcher. but she left a tremendous legacy . and of tremendous legacy. and of course, she was the first woman prime minister and she never whinged and never expected any special treatment because she was a woman . does modern day was a woman. does modern day ooiiiiee— was a woman. does modern day ooiiiiee my— was a woman. does modern day ooiiiiee my amo— was a woman. does modern day politics try and bring— “ does modern day politics try and bring people wim— politics try and bring people wim mem— politics try and bring people with them when they disagree? it's interesting— with them when they disagree? it's interesting that you said me— it's interesting that you said me iwo— it's interesting that you said the two responses. you agreed the two responses. if you agreed wim—ooimo- with what she was doing, you ioveo — with what she was doing, you loved—disagreed. with what she was doing, you loved—disagreed ,i with what she was doing, you loved disagreed , it loved her. if you disagreed, it became— loved her. if you disagreed, it became more— loved her. if you disagreed, it became more of— loved her. if you disagreed, it became more of a hate because if we became more of a hate because if _wei— became more of a hate because if _wei mai- became more of a hate because if we-from that way- became more of a hate because if we _from that way of. we moved on from that way of iome—mai- we moved on from that way of. doing-that-more doing it, or was that based more on doing it, or was that based more om-mai— doing it, or was that based more om-mai eme— doing it, or was that based more on-that she had- doing it, or was that based more on that she had the on the fact that she had the maroiiiy. — on the fact that she had the majority, obviously the majority, she obviously the maroiiiy— majority, she obviously the majority helped. majority, she obviously the majority helped, my. majority, she obviously the majority helped. 5“ majority helped. but then boris had an enormous majority. and what do with it? um blair what did he do with it? um blair had a tremendous majority, but
4:23 am
he didn't always do the things that he said he was going to do. um, and i think what there is now is a tendency to want to please people. and of course it is a simple fact of life, not only a political life, but of life in general . you cannot life in general. you cannot always please people. you are bound to upset some people. now, thatcher didn't care whom she upset as long as she was convinced that what she was doing right. we lack now doing was right. we lack now that sort of conviction politician a politician who will stand up and say this is what i believe, this is what i'm going to do if i can. and that's that. now it's all, you know, a compromise and trying to bring people with you who don't want to be brought with you . to be brought with you. interesting. let's bring in my oumoiie— interesting. let's bring in my oumoiie ae— interesting. let's bring in my pundits as well— interesting. let's bring in my pundits as well ,_ interesting. let's bring in my pundits as well , because, nigel, pundits as well, because, nigel, i pundits as well, because, nigel, i mow— pundits as well, because, nigel, i know ae— pundits as well, because, nigel, i know ae a— pundits as well, because, nigel, i know ae a ae— pundits as well, because, nigel, i know as a as a— pundits as well, because, nigel, i know as a as a man of ooiiiiee— i know as a as a man of ooiiiiee. you— i know as a as a man of politics, you had interaction . politics, you had interaction. do politics, you had interaction. oo you— politics, you had interaction. do you remember the days of iiaioaiei— do you remember the days of margaret thatcher? what's your iam— margaret thatcher? what's your iake om— margaret thatcher? what's your iake om mie— margaret thatcher? what's your iake om mm o— margaret thatcher? what's your take on this ? but— margaret thatcher? what's your take on this ? but that aside, i take on this? but that aside, i mim— take on this? but that aside, i mmk mai— take on this? but that aside, i think that if— take on this? but that aside, i think that if i— take on this? but that aside, i think that if i was naming the
