2:09 am
wisdom of our remain establishment and daring to vote for brexit. but the reality, as you suggested, is that britain's not done too badly. our economy is has grown roughly at the same rate as the german economy . rate as the german economy. we've done okay. we've taken advantage of a new defence deal with america and australia. we've joined the new pacific free trade bloc. but i still can't put suspect that we've not taken full advantage of the opportunities that brexit offers us. there's still so much more we could do that remain establishment. i talked about earlier, doesn't want us to make the kind of changes that we're now free to make. we're still , now free to make. we're still, for example, subject to the so—called gdpr regulations on data management, which are holding back our country. why we've left the european union. america doesn't have gdpr regulations. most of asia doesn't have gdpr regulations. why can't we get rid of those? the truth is that our remain establishment are so
2:10 am
indoctrinated with this idea that we should shadow europe, we should follow europe. they don't want us to take full advantage of the freedom that brexit gives us. and that our own home grown pro—remain establishment is the real problem that we now have to confront. were you disappointed , douglas, to hear this week that the government are going to reduce that bonfire of eu regulations and rules ? it's not regulations and rules? it's not going to be. i think— regulations and rules? it's not going to be. i think the- g e�*h: 7 it's not going to be. i think the 4000 hete— going to be. i think the 4000 various acts of— going to be. i think the 4000 various acts of micro management thet— various acts of micro management that ee— various acts of micro management that te— various acts of micro management that te ge— various acts of micro management that are to go, but— various acts of micro management that are to go, but rather the see— that are to go, but rather the 800 et— that are to go, but rather the 800 et ee— that are to go, but rather the 800 et ee . — that are to go, but rather the 800 et ee . h— that are to go, but rather the 800 or so. i was- that are to go, but rather the 800 or so . hilt 800 or so. i was very disappointed for two reasons. first of all, kemi badenoch i thought was a sensible minister capable of thinking for herself and standing up for what she believed in against her civil servants. but apparently that doesn't seem to be the case. particularly disappointed because her reason for not implementing these reforms, for not getting rid of the 4000 eu regulations that were now free to get rid of, and saying we're
2:11 am
only going to try and get rid of about a quarter of that amount is because she said that her civil servants told her we shouldn't get rid of those regulations. excuse regulations. well excuse me, what expecting your what were you expecting your civil servants tell of civil servants to tell you? of course, servants are course, your civil servants are going want to remain going to want us to remain augned going to want us to remain aligned brussels . that's what aligned to brussels. that's what they've been doing years. they've been doing for 40 years. that their very frame that is their their very frame of mind is that we should comply with regulations. the whole with eu regulations. the whole point of having a conservative government is that we have ministers kim rye who stand up to civil rather to their civil servants rather than telling the than passively telling the voters what the civil servants will and won't allow you to do. so i was rather hoping that we would have ministers by now in positions in whitehall who are prepared to overturn turn the failed, remain establishment thinking and control their civil servants. but sadly , it seems as servants. but sadly, it seems as if this government is too often controlled by its civil servants. yes, minister, that very famous tv series from a few years ago. unfortunately it is not a comedy anymore. it's a pretty good description of how the remain civil service in

world of growth and opportunity outside of europe, outside the shadow of brussels and the sooner that britain realigns and it's begun to do this by joining the pacific trade partnership, the pacific trade partnership, the sooner we do this with a free trade agreement with the united states, the sooner we start to regulate our industries the the states does the way the united states does not europe does. the not the way europe does. the faster we will grow. that's what we should be talking we should really be talking about. don't need more about. we don't need any more lectures kind of failed lectures from the kind of failed economists who warned us against democracy first place. we democracy in the first place. we i think, need to actually look beyond beyond those sorts of forecasts. acas beyond beyond those sorts of forecasts . acas let's talk forecasts. acas let's talk heughee— forecasts. acas let's talk douglas, about- f acas let's talk douglas, about where you are. the— douglas, about where you are. the uhhtet— douglas, about where you are. the united states— douglas, about where you are. the united states , one of the the united states, one of the meet— the united states, one of the most watched,— the united states, one of the most watched, most compelling hteeteeetete— most watched, most compelling broadcasters in— most watched, most compelling broadcasters in america. i think at heeet— broadcasters in america. i think at heeet e— broadcasters in america. i think at least 3 million— broadcasters in america. i think at least 3 million viewers a hhght. — at least 3 million viewers a hhght. meter— at least 3 million viewers a night. tucker carlson has been met— night. tucker carlson has been thtet hy— night. tucker carlson has been thtet hy tex— night. tucker carlson has been fired by fox news.— night. tucker carlson has been fired by fox news. take a listen to fired by fox news. take a listen te e— fired by fox news. take a listen te e vhtee— fired by fox news. take a listen te e vhtee he— fired by fox news. take a listen to a video he recorded after thet— to a video he recorded after that he— to a video he recorded after that news emerged when honest eeehte— that news emerged when honest eeehte ety— that news emerged when honest eeehte eey whet-e— that news emerged when honest people say what's true, calmly ehe— people say what's true, calmly mt whtheut— people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they

2:15 am
importance of basing political positions on the world as it is, not as as the world we want it to be. i'm slightly stunned that fox has got rid of him. you may be aware of the fact that bud light in america recently launched a campaign that insulted their customer base and their sales tanked. fox news, to me, to done something me, seems to have done something rather by getting of rather similar by getting rid of easily popular news easily the most popular news broadcaster in the united states . i don't think we've heard the last of tucker carlson. i think actually america needs him. britain needs him. the world needs hear his his. he's needs to hear his his. he's often quite sceptical of the claims of all politicians. he's as sceptical of republican politicians as of democrat politicians. he i think, is pretty fearless in speaking the truth. and clearly i suspect in the in the words of that, that that movie i watched a while ago, some people just can't handle the truth. they're trying to silence him. in doing so, to silence him. and in doing so, they're actually trying to silence lot of middle america. silence a lot of middle america. they want opinions they don't want these opinions to airtime . and i think to be given airtime. and i think that's i suspect that's concerning. but i suspect that's concerning. but i suspect

2:17 am
him out yet. i think he's got a lot of he's got a lot of supporters. he's got a lot of funds. i think he's in with a chance.i funds. i think he's in with a chance. i would take him seriously. he's he's well worth listening to. he may or may not be the republican candidate in the next election, but the kind of conservatism that he believes in is the future for american conservatism. it is very different to the maga type of conservatism . i think it is conservatism. i think it is fundamentally. i think it's the only way to build a winning conservative coalition in america . i think he's good news. america. i think he's good news. i'm a big fan of his. i wish him well and it's great that he is meeting uk government ministers. i hope, incidentally , when he's i hope, incidentally, when he's in london, they're talking to him about a free trade agreement because think sort of because i think he's the sort of person might actually be person who might actually be able deliver on that. and if able to deliver on that. and if it's not him, there will be future of republican future generations of republican leaders will to leaders who will be able to deliver that. yes i mean, he's less divisive more less divisive and a more coherent than donald coherent leader than donald trump , isn't he? and he famously

2:19 am
the chance, i think it's no question if he was the republican candidate at the next election, he would win pretty comfortably against biden. but, you know, i'm probably one you know, i'm probably the one guy this state of mississippi guy in this state of mississippi who have vote . so who doesn't have a vote. so let's and see what let's just wait and see what happens. more's pity. happens. more's the pity. heughee— happens. more's the pity. heugtee te— happens. more's the pity. douglas to great- more's the pity. douglas to great see you again. thank— douglas to great see you again. them yet— douglas to great see you again. thank you .joining - douglas to great see you again. thank you joining us on mark thank you for joining us on mark heteh— thank you for joining us on mark heteh henhght— thank you for joining us on mark dolan tonight. my— thank you for joining us on mark dolan tonight. my thanks to heughee— dolan tonight. my thanks to douglas carswell, the co founder of douglas carswell, the co founder et—tetmet— douglas carswell, the co founder et—tetmet hety- douglas carswell, the co founder of_former tory and. of vote leave, former tory and uhhh— of vote leave, former tory and hth ath— of vote leave, former tory and hth ht .— of vote leave, former tory and ukip mp. next— of vote leave, former tory and ukip mp . next up— of vote leave, former tory and ukip mp . next up is of vote leave, former tory and ukip mp. next up is rishi of vote leave, former tory and ukip mp . next up is rishi sunak ukip mp. next up is rishi sunak thght— ukip mp. next up is rishi sunak thght te— ukip mp. next up is rishi sunak hght te eehe— ukip mp. next up is rishi sunak right to refuse to— ukip mp. next up is rishi sunak right to refuse to apologise for ehevetye— right to refuse to apologise for eteyetye wett— right to refuse to apologise for slavery? we'll hear from both ehtee— slavery? we'll hear from both ehtee eh— slavery? we'll hear from both sides on that— slavery? we'll hear from both sides on that .—

2:51 am
for the over 75 and this is just another example of penalise ing the elderly and i think it's actually really cruel. i mean, you know, in other countries in europe, they really take care of their elderly population. but we just don't really seem to do that in this country. and i think it's really sad. so, no, they should definitely not be scrapping free prescriptions for over 60s because you know, once you're over 60, um , you should you're over 60, um, you should be enjoying your retirement years and making the most of life. so you know, why shouldn't you have free prescriptions when you've worked so hard all your life for everything else ? robin life for everything else? robin what? that's a fair— c g 7 robin what? that's a fair point. amehee— what? that's a fair point. amanda robin, what about those whe— amanda robin, what about those whe eh— amanda robin, what about those who can afford— amanda robin, what about those who can afford to— amanda robin, what about those who can afford to pay for their prescriptions?— who can afford to pay for their prescriptions? there are plenty of prescriptions? there are plenty er pehehehere— prescriptions? there are plenty of pensioners out— prescriptions? there are plenty of pensioners out there with a heet— of pensioners out there with a heet egg— of pensioners out there with a peer egg .— of pensioners out there with a peer egg . teth— of pensioners out there with a nest egg . robin nana yes. nest egg. robin nana yes. mark teet— nest egg. robin nana yes. mark eeet evehhhg. — nest egg. robin nana yes. mark good evening. not— nest egg. robin nana yes. mark good evening. not you,- nest egg. robin nana yes. c: i 3 not you, by the good evening. not you, by the we.— good evening. not you, by the wey. h— good evening. not you, by the wey. r em— good evening. not you, by the wey. r em wett— good evening. not you, by the wey. r em wett .— good evening. not you, by the way. i am well , no,- c: i 3 not you, by the way. i am well, no, i'm not. thm— way. i am well, no, i'm not. h-m het— way. i am well, no, i'm not. h-m het etey— way. i am well, no, i'm not. i'm not okay. you're- way. i am well, no, i'm not. you're a young

2:53 am
the whole of the system more than, know, individuals than, say, you know, individuals just a line and saying just drawing a line and saying 60, 60 plus, et cetera. so i would personally be prepared to pay- would personally be prepared to pay. i wonder , robin, whether pay. i wonder, robin, whether this is an example , though, of this is an example, though, of an attack on older people who, as amanda has said, they've paid into their pensions , they've into their pensions, they've paid their taxes and national insurance for many, many years, decades. they've insurance for many, many years, decades . they've worked hard. decades. they've worked hard. wew— decades. they've worked hard. wew they-ve— decades. they've worked hard. now they've seen _ c7: they've worked hard. now they've seen the potential, the rwetm— now they've seen the potential, the return armament age going up . they-ve— the return armament age going up . hheyhve eee— the return armament age going up . they've seen pensions being tevet— . they've seen pensions being tevet .— . they've seen pensions being tevet . ahe— . they've seen pensions being taxed . and now— . they've seen pensions being taxed . and now they're seeing taxed. and now they're seeing the threete— taxed. and now they're seeing the threats of— taxed. and now they're seeing the threats of benefits like tree— the threats of benefits like free prescriptions going. it's an free prescriptions going. it's eh ett— free prescriptions going. it's eh ett eet— free prescriptions going. it's an all out assault on older peepte— an all out assault on older peepte .— an all out assault on older peepte . hen-t— an all out assault on older people , isn't it?- an all out assault on older people , isn't it? yeah, yeah . people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. wett— people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. wett thm— people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. wett h-m het— people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. well, i'm not again,- people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. well, i'm not again, i'm- people, isn't it? yeah, yeah. well, i'm not again, i'm not so sure . it depends, honestly . sure. it depends, honestly. depends if you're deciding whether you're going to pay for food or heating, then obviously being charged for prescriptions would be an absolute nightmare. as i said, you know, if you could means test it and those people that can afford to pay,
2:54 am
because there are a lot of rich, older people who could happily afford to pay if they felt that it was going to benefit the rest of the population who can't necessarily afford to pay . necessarily afford to pay. okay, amanda , a new story necessarily afford to pay. - okay, amanda , a new story that's okay, amanda, a new story that's popped— okay, amanda, a new story that's popped up— okay, amanda, a new story that's popped up today— okay, amanda, a new story that's popped up today .— okay, amanda, a new story that's popped up today , pressure on popped up today, pressure on hehheeeee— popped up today, pressure on businesses to— popped up today, pressure on businesses to have child free ehhtt— businesses to have child free areas, child free— businesses to have child free areas, child free pubs, child tree— areas, child free pubs, child free restaurants. _ areas, child free pubs, child free restaurants. what's your vhew— free restaurants. what's your view on that?— free restaurants. what's your view on that? do— free restaurants. what's your view on that? do you think that ehhttreh— view on that? do you think that ehhttreh .— view on that? do you think that ehhttreh . reh— view on that? do you think that children , ian, are— view on that? do you think that children , ian, are a public children, ian, are a public e — children, ian, are a public nuisance ? oh,- children, ian, are a public nuisance ? hcih" g: children, ian, are a public- nuisance ? oh, my goodness. um nuisance? oh, my goodness. um this is so unnecessary. i mean, i get where they're coming from that, you know, there are a lot of people that that can't take the screaming kids thing when they go out to a restaurant or shopping centre. but at the end of the day, how can you possibly separate people like this? it's kind of segregation in a way, you know, saying, oh, if you're a family, you're not welcome here. um, i mean, i personally really don't like it when you're
2:55 am
on a plane or in a shop and you've got a baby wailing all the time and, you know, screaming kids everywhere. but that's what kids do . that's what that's what kids do. that's what babies do. they can't help it, you know? and if we live in a world where we say, oh, you know, we have to have child free zones because, you know, we need peace and quiet. i mean, no , no, peace and quiet. i mean, no, no, you can't live in a world like that. can see where they're that. so i can see where they're coming from that the you know, they're trying to sort of appease a certain group of people that want to have this, you know, very calm environment where they go out and they have, you know, no children making any noise for them . but it's not noise for them. but it's not i don't think it's a very good situation in general because it creates another form of segregation. well, i agree . segregation. well, i agree. amanda, briefly, if you can, heeewee— amanda, briefly, if you can, heeewee h— amanda, briefly, if you can, because i went— amanda, briefly, if you can, because i went to a wedding where— because i went to a wedding where children— because i went to a wedding where children were banned and it where children were banned and ht wee— where children were banned and it was rubbish— where children were banned and it was rubbish and— where children were banned and it was rubbish and the couple prete— it was rubbish and the couple hrete ep— it was rubbish and the couple broke up about— it was rubbish and the couple broke up about a— it was rubbish and the couple broke up about a year later. at.— broke up about a year later. oh there— broke up about a year later. oh there yet — broke up about a year later. oh, there you go— broke up about a year later. oh, there you go .— broke up about a year later. oh, there you go . i- broke up about a year later. oh, there you go. i mean, it just yeah, it goes to show that they're perhaps not very nice people, you know. yeah, well,

2:57 am
worst thing is when they're trying to give you directions and tell you what to do, that people who have dogs barking and you can't hear anything now they can control those dogs. yeah t right. look at you with your park runs on a saturday. i'll have to watch you in action. i'm sure you look excellent in lycra. amanda robin loved the dial. dolan will do it again very soon. thank you so much. if you'd like to be part of dial dolan, drop me a at gb news dolan, drop me a line at gb news .uk. well, a busy two hours to come. my take at ten, i'll be deaung come. my take at ten, i'll be dealing with matt hancock. but next up , i've got bbc dealing with matt hancock. but next up, i've got bbc in my next up, i've got the bbc in my sights and you won't want to miss it .

"rig ”ti: "rig statist. they're status. they believe deeply that the country should be run by civil servants. in fact , nearly all of them in fact, nearly all of them believe the country should be run by civil servants in strasbourg and brussels . they strasbourg and brussels. they are remainers to a man and of course they are living in a bubble. they live in this little bubble. they live in this little bubble which the real people don't live in. now i've worked with them on two occasions once as in a consultancy capacity in the financial services and once from a military consultancy perspective and somebody took me aside from the private sector, the wealth creating sector, before i'd really started. and he said, what do you understand
4:24 am
is these people don't think like us. they don't take the same view of us. this this country is split down the middle and people think it's class. they think it's colour. it isn't. it's split between those who work in the wealth creating sector and those work in the public those who work in the public sector . and if you look at the sector. and if you look at the strikes are going you were strikes that are going you were talking you made talking about earlier, you made some points. they don't some good points. they don't want they don't think it's want 4. they don't think it's enough. and they want 5, whoever they may be striking. but i had a very small pension from the pubuc a very small pension from the public sector because i was working on attachment in that department. i won't bore you with the detail, but i just got on that pension, just got a 10.1% increase directly linked to cpi . so we are spending to cpi. so we are spending somewhere in the region of £900 billion a year on civil service indexing, pensions which are unaffordable in the private sector . they are so protected sector. they are so protected that they can't be sacked. there's no shareholders. there's absolutely no discipline
4:25 am
regarding. they're not fit for purpose of the home office. the ministry of justice, the dwp, all these people are not fit for purpose , so they can't be purpose, so they can't be actually sacked. so if you're a minister and i'm not standing up for dominic wragg or anybody else, if you're a if you are a politic person or a minister trying to kick , get them to trying to kick, get them to actually do something which they employed to do , they then scream employed to do, they then scream bullying , bullying, bullying. bullying, bullying, bullying. well, i can tell you, if you bullying you want to see i was at the bat end of a sergeant major's view when i was at sandhurst. that's bullying and it's quality bullying. i have to say it's quality bullying . but say it's quality bullying. but that's problem that we have that's the problem that we have . aren't of the . these people aren't of the real world. they're protected . real world. they're protected. there are 6 million of them . the there are 6 million of them. the last four years. and i made this point on your programme a little while ago , have increased since while ago, have increased since 2018 with more people in the civil service in addition than employed by tesco in its entirety. it's like black mould

allegations bullying are allegations of bullying are against brexiteers the tories in my view, it's very interesting that they're being actually singled out by the civil service for these accusations. get rid of them and they won't comply with getting rid of eu directors over the last 40 years. this is certainly a civil service conspira rac whether it's left or right wing. i think that those expressions are rather passe. this this is about statism and free trade and free freedom of thought . godfrey freedom of thought. godfrey bloom always— freedom of thought. godfrey bloom always words- freedom of thought. godfrey bloom always words of- : g godfrey bloom always words of wisdom and very— bloom always words of wisdom and very ree— bloom always words of wisdom and very we the— bloom always words of wisdom and very rare on this program that we heve— very rare on this program that we heve teth— very rare on this program that we have both a— very rare on this program that we have both a cravat and a emethhg— we have both a cravat and a smoking jacket. _ we have both a cravat and a smoking jacket. i can't thank you— smoking jacket. i can't thank yew ehewgh— smoking jacket. i can't thank yew ehewgh ter— smoking jacket. i can't thank you enough for your time and for yewr— you enough for your time and for yewr eppereh— you enough for your time and for yewr epperet eht— you enough for your time and for your apparel and look forward to eetthhg— your apparel and look forward to eetehhhg wp— your apparel and look forward to catching up soon.— your apparel and look forward to catching up soon. speaking to us live catching up soon. speaking to us thve trem— catching up soon. speaking to us thve trem the— catching up soon. speaking to us live from the west— catching up soon. speaking to us live from the west riding of yertehhre— live from the west riding of yorkshire, the _ live from the west riding of yorkshire, the brilliant godfrey hteem— yorkshire, the brilliant godfrey hteem. teet— yorkshire, the brilliant godfrey bloom. look, we'll do. would you the— bloom. look, we'll do. would you the te— bloom. look, we'll do. would you the te te— bloom. look, we'll do. would you the te he the— bloom. look, we'll do. would you like to do the polls?— bloom. look, we'll do. would you like to do the polls? should we do like to do the polls? should we he the — like to do the polls? should we he the pet— like to do the polls? should we do the poll right— like to do the polls? should we do the poll right now? let's tethe— do the poll right now? let's tet-e gwhetty— do the poll right now? let's let's quickly pop it up. we've teeh— let's quickly pop it up. we'vei teen—the been asking you online, is the ehvht— been asking you online, is the ehvht eervhee—

' crng . g not. absolutely right. matthew hancock became famous or notorious for eating kangaroo's, but of course, when he was health secretary, he was talking out of his own and, you know, governments are going to lie to you. they're going to distort info nation in order to suit their own propaganda purposes. and when all the mainstream parties agree on something and there's a consensus, it's usually it turns out to be a conspiracy against the interests of the public. so it would be monstrous if we have government
4:37 am
control of so—called misinformation, because as you rightly say, you know, it's the old latin tag. you know, who's going to guard the guardians? quiz custodiet ipsos custodes, as jacob rees—mogg would undoubtedly put it, most definitely. matt hancock and definitely. and matt hancock and his ilk are not to be trusted with decisions of this kind. you know, professor karl popper, the distinguished philosopher of science , has said that if science, has said that if something's not open to refutation, then it's not science, it's dogma . and that's science, it's dogma. and that's what's been imposed upon us in so many ways when i was a member of the welsh parliament up until two years ago, i voted against all this covid legislation because it had no rationale justification. it needed to be a brain surgeon to understand that lots of the claims that were being made, even the time, being made, even at the time, were not supportable . while were not supportable. while there plenty of academics there were plenty of academics who different view from who took a different view from the , people like the government, people like professor gupta , who's a professor sunetra gupta, who's a professor of epidemiology at oxford university, carl henaghan centre evidence based centre for evidence based medicine, on. and so

medicine, and so on. and so forth. they've all been on gb news the years. we were all news over the years. we were all saying what saying this at the time and what hancock , erg and sunak and all hancock, erg and sunak and all the others were saying was proved to be utterly false by events. but we knew right at the start that what we were being fed was poison and was going to be worse than the disease itself. so you know, the free flow of ideas is absolutely vital to the, you know, the moral health of a country now pressures the government would argue that the mask mandates the vaccine, mandates the lockdowns saved thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of lives. that's their view. they— : c that's their view. they maintain that they— their view. they maintain that they wee— their view. they maintain that they were taking— their view. they maintain that they were taking full medical etvhee— they were taking full medical etvhee. twt— they were taking full medical advice, but what— they were taking full medical advice, but what do you think etewt— advice, but what do you think etewt thhee— advice, but what do you think about this? one— advice, but what do you think about this? one man's misinformed- about this? one man's misinformed nation is another mehhe-thmh- misinformed nation is another man's-think it's- man's truth? i think it's absolute nonsense mean, absolute nonsense. i mean, his whatsapp were exposed . whatsapp messages were exposed. so just like, how could we so it's just like, how could we even anything even think to believe anything else? he says he actually was evpeeet— else? he says he actually was evpeeet eeyhhg— else? he says he actually was exposed saying the— 7 he says he actually was exposed saying the things that he wee— exposed saying the things that he was telling— exposed saying the things that he was telling the public were wtwe — he was telling the public were wtwe se— he was telling the public were untrue. so how— he was telling the public were untrue. so how can- he was telling the public were untrue. rich" i untrue. so how can we even take him seriously? anybody of

4:41 am
paid more. we all feel they should have better working conditions. do we all think that they should be allowed to go on strike and put young children's lives risk ? it's it doesn't lives at risk? it's it doesn't get more complicated than that. precious is this the moment where— precious is this the moment werehweeeh-- precious is this the moment where nurses, the junior where the nurses, the junior teetere— where the nurses, the junior doctors lose— where the nurses, the junior doctors lose public support ? doctors lose public support? i thmh— doctors lose public support? i thmt they— doctors lose public support? i think they might.— doctors lose public support? i think they might. i— doctors lose public support? i think they might. i think we probably see, you know, as as the public will see that, you know , we've all come out of our know, we've all come out of our houses. we clap for them, like you said. and it's just like now we're probably going to lose a little of faith their little bit of faith in their choices is because all know choices is because we all know they deserve to be paid more. we know this, but it's just like, where is this money coming from 7 where is this money coming from ? we've all got to consider that. and then striking is causing more repercussions than actually resolve the issue, i think. imean, actually resolve the issue, i think. i mean, do you object to the— think. i mean, do you object to the prhhehpte— think. i mean, do you object to the principle that— think. i mean, do you object to the principle that a— i mean, do you object to the principle that a health care werert— the principle that a health care worker can withdraw their labour teeee— worker can withdraw their labour teeee the — worker can withdraw their labour because the military and the pethee— because the military and the police cannot— because the military and the police cannot go— because the military and the police cannot go on strike? shewtt— police cannot go on strike? shewtt ht— police cannot go on strike? should it be— police cannot go on strike? should it be the same for ambulance— should it be the same for ambulance drivers , nurses and ambulance drivers, nurses and teeteree — ambulance drivers, nurses and doctors? ithink_ ambulance drivers, nurses and doctors? : doctors? i think they should not be go strike, but

4:43 am
closed down the country for two years because of covid. the price has to be paid. you know, we can't carry on giving pay increases to people that are not justified by the country's general economic position. and i'm afraid that's the reality . i'm afraid that's the reality. otherwise, the government , if it otherwise, the government, if it prints too much money, as we know, causes inflation. that's the other problem, which we're now grappling with. the bank of england's complete failure as a nationalised institution as well to do the only job that it's been given by the government, which is to keep inflation below 2, which is spectacularly failed at. and this is what happens with nationalised industries. you know, it's institutionalised failure. we have in our national health service a cheap and readily accessible service for most people, for most things. but in many other ways it falls down very badly and doesn't compare with health services in other parts of europe, for example, which are funded in a different way. what would you say different way. what would you eey te — different way. what would you eey te eweee— different way. what would you say to nurses who— different way. what would you say to nurses who are- r: ”riiri what would you say to nurses who are living out of foodbanks? _ say to nurses who are living out of foodbanks? well,- say to nurses who are living out
