sustainability lead at south west saint george's west london and saint george's mental trust. the salary mental health trust. the salary a cool 62 grand. a year. now, i'm sorry that you've had to wait six months for an urgent mental health appointment, but you will be pleased to know that if you cling on to life long enough, this hospital will be net zero 2050. oh, here's a net zero by 2050. oh, here's a classic as well. about the classic as well. all about the nhs diversity train. yes, here we are. gloucestershire hospitals foundation is in hospitals foundation trust is in urgent need of a patient experienced manager focusing on equality, diversity and inclusion . well, they earn inclusion. well, they can earn around £42,600 a year. i am sure it will be a tremendous comfort to the people of gloucestershire who fall foul of the rampant and unfortunate medical negligence on offer across vast swathes of nhs england. to know that they were given poor care by a team of multi—ethnic, gay special needs professionals who needs medical professionals who all incredibly valued in all feel incredibly valued in the workplace. but we need a smoke free environment adviser in wales. that's right. just under £23,000 a year. £23,000. so somebody can say don't smoke

inside or at all if possible, if you are going to smoke, then go outside to that smoking shelter. but please try to not stand on the people who are having massive strokes on the pavement near the entrance because we can't care for them inside. but it gets worse though . an arts it gets worse though. an arts commissioner in cambridge for 40 2ka year. i'm desperately sorry we will not be able to give you that life saving chemotherapy today. but whilst let that today. but whilst you let that news sink in, you can sit in our arts and crafts centre where you can gently weep as you look at this knockoff, picasso, that this new knockoff, picasso, that our arts producer procured from a down road. a charity shop down the road. just spare tripe, just spare me this tripe, please. it's enough to make you want call nurse, isn't it? want to call a nurse, isn't it? but of course, they're probably going to be strike. so good going to be on strike. so good luck with that. it is impossible to adequately a failing to adequately reform a failing pubuc to adequately reform a failing public service we public health service while we have literally have politicians literally worshipping in church. worshipping it in a church. sunak from matthew come you sunak read from matthew come you that blessed by my father that are blessed by my father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for i was hungry and you gave me food . sir keir starmer

gave me food. sir keir starmer reading from revelation nations see the home of god is among mortals . he will dwell with mortals. he will dwell with them. they will be his peoples and god himself will be with them. he will wipe every tear from their eyes. and we're we're not a normal country, are we? these prayers are meaningless compared to the prayers read at the funerals of all the people who have suddenly died as a result of at times receiving no care batus or those who had socially distanced funerals dufing socially distanced funerals during covid, course, so that during covid, of course, so that we protect our beloved nhs we could protect our beloved nhs . well, joining me now in the studio is doctor ken aswani, a gp former medical director for seven primary care trust. look, thank you very much. obviously, thatis thank you very much. obviously, that is strong stuff there. i don't you to with don't expect you to agree with a lot of that. some of it was tongue in cheek, but when we look at the nhs is being told as the of the world. okay it's the envy of the world. okay it's not, how can it be so? not, is it? how can it be so? >> i mean, if we look at we look at outcome comes and what we provide for within the nhs. if somebody diagnosed with

somebody suddenly diagnosed with cancer a major road cancer or as a major road accident , the nhs will provide accident, the nhs will provide the best care . and we're very, the best care. and we're very, very lucky and fortunate to have that. very lucky and fortunate to have that . i think very lucky and fortunate to have that. i think no one's sort of hiding the challenge is, but it's how we approach the challenges. so how do we reform? how do we focus on prevention? how do we focus on prevention? how do we focus on what we call personalisation ? torfaen so the personalisation? torfaen so the individual taking responsibility individual taking responsibility in the right area was to make sure we get the best out of the nhs and it's always there when we need it. >> but it does, it does need a shake up and that shake up requires someone with cojones to be able to do that. i would argue not somebody who goes and reads a prayer for our nhs at westminster abbey on its 75th birthday because that gives it this religious aura which makes people think maybe it's perfect. and then whenever some kind of change does need to be implemented, people go, well, you that because it's ungodly. >> well , i ungodly. >> well, i think that certainly

myself and i think many of my colleagues is that we should be open to change because you can never stand still. but if we just look at because most of sort of the nhs and the challenges we've had increased technology , more frail and technology, more frail and elderly that we have to look after if we integrate health and social care and work with the community and carers and this has been shown in hull and many other places, there are better outcomes. you know, patients don't always have to be admitted to hospital, but take for example, immunisation. we've got winter coming up, we don't nearly sort of reach flu immunisation rates and you know, they're not, they don't cost very much, but they can save your life and prevent hospital admissions. diaby 80s heart disease, a lot of this is preventable . so i suppose the preventable. so i suppose the message is that we shouldn't really sort of take a medication view of the world or take a medicalized approach. i think we can genuinely take a holistic approach and mental health is a key example of that. that's

always you know, in the news etcetera . but the amount of etcetera. but the amount of mental health that we manage mental health that we can manage through what we call social prescribing community and other means can be really effective. so i think the approach is how can we sort of put these in place and actually get improved outcomes and reduce the inequalities, because that's what's going to matter at the end of the day. >> does the nhs spend too much time painting giant rainbow flags on buildings and not enough time looking at whether or level managers are or not top level managers are spending nhs money well spending the nhs money well enough groups i sort enough so the groups that i sort of, know , and chair some of, you know, and i chair some of, you know, and i chair some of groups really , and we of these groups really, and we say, you know, mean, we say, look, you know, i mean, we call a quadruple aim and it's call it a quadruple aim and it's well written up really . well written up really. >> one that we've got to >> one is that we've got to improve outcomes. got to improve outcomes. we've got to make difference make a real difference. and secondly, to reduce secondly, we've got to reduce inequalities because the wider the gap , you have the difficulty the gap, you have the difficulty sometimes 15 years survive all kind of inequalities we're talking about. example , talking about. so for example, you one london borough you can have one london borough and the borough, you and south of the borough, you know, can have years know, you can have ten years early rate than the north

early death rate than the north of borough can only of the borough and it can only be 15 minutes, right? so the other is patient other thing is patient experience. we've really got to focus on because matters . focus on because that matters. so is a big so patient experience is a big part quality. and finally, part of quality. and finally, we've after our we've got to look after our workforce. so if we can do those four things, we're heading in the direction. so when i the right direction. so when i focus lot my colleagues and focus a lot of my colleagues and what we need to do and sort of so i said, look, just focus so on, i said, look, just focus on those four things we'll on those four things and we'll be good and be making good progress. and that's i look at it. that's the way i look at it. >> thank very, very much for >> thank you very, very much for coming to the studio. thank coming in to the studio. thank you for putting up with me as well. say, it's great well. i must say, it's great stuff that of course, doctor can aswani medical aswani a gp, former medical director care director for seven primary care trusts. your views coming trusts. i get your views coming in gbviews@gbnews.com. but here we that we're we go. i told you that we're going have a update from going to have a big update from nigel. here is a very, very latest because banking saga nigel. here is a very, very late continued banking saga nigel. here is a very, very late continued with banking saga nigel. here is a very, very late continued with the (ing saga nigel. here is a very, very late continued with the city saga has continued with the city minister now joining the debate. so nigel tweeted the following today i am delighted that the chancellor and city minister are putting pressure on the fca to

review why banks are giving uk peps as politically exposed people such a hard time. even better would be to change the law. it's an eu direct lviv and a brexit government ought to deal with it. this is the development from nigel. now we had him threatening to go to law and now he's looking to change the law . so that is the latest the law. so that is the latest from nigel. again, i want to emphasise this, that this isn't simply just a nigel farage issue. of course , this is the issue. of course, this is the farage show and he is a massive, massive part of that. even in his absence. but this is really an issue that we're seeing affect more and more people and it could to you. so nigel it could happen to you. so nigel is now calling for is now openly calling for a change in the law. joining me now is . oh, sorry. no, not now is. oh, sorry. no, not quite. alexander tolstoy is an anglo russian and has accused natwest of behaving like joseph stalin's soviet union after shutting her bank accounts with no explanation . justin darzee is no explanation. justin darzee is

a reputation crisis advisor and he joins me now. there you go. i thought you changed gender for a second there, but there you are. thank you very much for coming in. great to have you on the show. right okay. so let's deal with first things first, then when dealing your when you're dealing with your capacity a reputation capacity as a reputation advisor. could advisor. et cetera. what could be damaging somebody's be more damaging to somebody's reputation than a string of banks saying, we're reputation than a string of ban having saying, we're reputation than a string of ban having your saying, we're reputation than a string of ban having your custom,ve're reputation than a string of ban having your custom, bute not having your custom, but we're telling you why? which we're not telling you why? which makes look dodgy. makes you look dodgy. >> an absolute >> yes, it's an absolute disgrace. is orwellian. disgrace. and it is orwellian. you we've had a principle you know, we've had a principle in for in this country for almost a thousand that if you're thousand years that if you're accused of a crime, you have the right to defend yourself. and part the right to part of that is the right to know what you are of . know what you are accused of. this complete mess. is this complete mess. this is a complete this pep complete mess, this pep business. it also involves people not even knowing what they stand charged with. and when you're cancelled from the digital are digital economy, you are cancelled from life and society and you absolutely shafted. and you are absolutely shafted. we an mp yesterday who we had an mp on yesterday who revealed live on this show that there are people whose businesses supply bannau ammunition for our own armed

forces who, because of their line of work , had their bank line of work, had their bank accounts mistakenly closed, which is a shocker. >> talk to me a little bit about about the person that you're involved with, alexandra tolstoy, who's anglo russian. what's gone on there. >> so we are reputation advisers. we advise lots of people who have challenging problems and her case is one of the worst cases that we have seen. she is a uk citizen. she has has been cancelled by a string of banks. she has no idea why this has happened. they won't even talk to her about it. but this is a common problem. you know, it's not just one person. this has happened to hundreds, thousands of people . hundreds, thousands of people. and what is now happening as a result of what nigel chose to do last week is that finally people are coming out of the woodwork and making their voices. >> absolutely. absolutely. and this is what this is why it's building momentum. this this is what this is why it's blading momentum. this this is what this is why it's bla crucial momentum. this this is what this is why it's bla crucial point,nentum. this this is what this is why it's bla crucial point,nenturis this is a crucial point, which is that nigel's reaction to this

has sparked a response from politicians , but also from the politicians, but also from the fca. why are banks scared of the fca? yeah this is i mean, this gets to the heart problem. >> so the banks are terrified. so the banks have got bad form on all of this. the crisis of 2008, the banks , the government 2008, the banks, the government came down very hard on the banks, quite rightly, and legislation was introduced. we then saw the bribery act a couple of years later which introduced this concept of the politically exposed person. but we've now ended up with this absolutely mad situation where the banks are more worried about the banks are more worried about the regulator and they're more worried about their staff and staff woke feelings than they are about the customers and that is the heart of the problem. i'm afraid, because these banks , afraid, because these banks, natwest bank, barclays bank, the others, they don't give two hoots about their customers that much is obvious and that needs to be that needs to be sorted out and reset. >> absolutely. and this is the line this evening from nigel,

who is calling openly now a who is calling openly now for a change in the law. do you think he'll be successful? do you think we'll do it? >> well, it's a challenge, but certainly government is starting to wake up to this. so that is a good thing. what needs to happen as well is there needs to be a groundswell of public pressure and people need to find their voice and on your programme and on this station, you are doing a fabulous job. but it's hard. you know, there are newspapers and publications out there that will not touch this issue. well, we saw publications saw newspapers and publications started to interrupt. >> . today, doing their best >> yes. today, doing their best to borderline defame nigel, actually, when it came to well , actually, when it came to well, i think i think at best a very dodgy alleged phone call from coutt's bank that may have appeared to have disclosed some private information about nigel that turned out to possibly not even be true. well i mean, and this is this is classic, isn't it? >> this is a bank in panic mode. yeah in a in a sort of panic reaction in not thinking about

the consequences of what they're doing. and i'm afraid that i think this this bank has set itself up for some big problems coming up because what they've done clearly look, done is clearly look, fascinating stuff. >> have launched a petition >> we have launched a petition to prevent a cashless society. let's bring that back on, if we can. it's on our website. there we are, gb news .com forward slash cash . easy to remember or slash cash. easy to remember or if you have got a smartphone and you're watching a tv, you're watching us online right now on this very second, you will see a qr code there. take your smartphone out, hold it up to the screen, see what happens when it over that qr when you hover it over that qr code. it will take you straight to our petition to help gb news with and tell the with our campaign and tell the authorities don't kill cash. you look at what's happening tonight, you at what's tonight, you look at what's happening of people now happening to loads of people now around the country and something that frankly could happen to you. think it couldn't. you. do not think it couldn't. it absolutely will. it absolutely will. if we let it. so don't kill cash. thank you very much. great to have you on the show. hope to talk to you

again very, very soon. now, coming up, families could be evicted military base in evicted from a military base in braintree to make room for asylum seekers. we are going to be leader of that be talking to the leader of that council this council very, very shortly. this is a big one. i want to emphasise that again, military families could be evicted from a base in braintree to make room for asylum seekers. shocking stuff . statue .

radio. >> okay, strap yourselves in, because despite rishi claiming that he is stopping the boats, the raf wethersfield site is now set to become home to 1700 fighting age males. i'm sure that the locals are ecstatic with this news, but to add to this , some military families this, some military families living there have been given less than a week's notice to

leave the premises in order to make way for these asylum seekers . it is make way for these asylum seekers. it is nice to make way for these asylum seekers . it is nice to see that seekers. it is nice to see that the government cares so compassionately about the families of those who are willing to risk it all. isn't this just come on, you don't see this just come on, you don't see this in the adverts, do you? you don't see this in the adverts for our military. come and join our armed forces. yeah we'll teach you new skills. we'll teach you new skills. we'll teach you new skills. we'll teach you all sorts. and you can fight and die or lose a leg in battle for country. and battle for this country. and then your family then we'll biff your family out of accommodation who of accommodation for people who come where we come from countries where we might have just sent you to fight unchecked. no idea who they exactly what they are or really exactly what their record and their criminal record is. and then let live in your then we'll let them live in your missus's house. braintree council the decision council have fought the decision every way and every single step of the way and are the recent ruling. are appealing the recent ruling. in . joining now to in april. joining me now to discuss is the conservative discuss this is the conservative leader braintree district leader of braintree district council graham butlin graham. council is graham butlin graham. thank very , very much. thank you very, very much. please me that cannot please tell me that this cannot be true, that we have military families being biffed out of accommodation for our young illegal . illegal immigrants. >> well, the first point i must

make is that this is the issue of military families is not an issue which involves braintree district council . but i can district council. but i can confirm that the home office and the ministry of defence have beenin the ministry of defence have been in touch with local families, local military families, local military families currently on that site to move them to new accommodation , which they say accommodation, which they say will be closer to their duty to where they carry out those dufies. where they carry out those duties . but the actual removal duties. but the actual removal of those families is not not an issue which braintree district council has paid any part in. >> no, no, i understand that. >> no, no, i understand that. >> absolutely. and you're right to make that clear. i don't think anyone saying think anyone is saying for a single second this is your fault think anyone is saying for a sirthis second this is your fault think anyone is saying for a sirthis is cond this is your fault think anyone is saying for a sirthis is thei this is your fault think anyone is saying for a sirthis is the council'sour fault think anyone is saying for a sirthis is the council's fault. jlt or this is the council's fault. this is the fault of the situation that we're in at the moment. and that is a massive, massive but massive problem. but nonetheless, happening. nonetheless, it is happening. and or they're and whether or not they're turfed made or turfed out and made homeless or they're move home they're having to move home still, are going still, they are going from living somewhere to not living there anymore . and a group of there anymore. and a group of people who potentially just people who have potentially just

arrived going to be arrived here are going to be living there. it does as living there. it does seem as though, frankly, is deeply though, frankly, that is deeply unfair . well there are issues unfair. well there are issues that that arise from this . that that arise from this. >> of course, some of these families have children. so there are issues about the schooling of those children having to move from one school to another . and from one school to another. and this is just one of many issues , is that a council, we have , is that as a council, we have been raising in our discussions with the home office about this plan to use this site, which we as a council have consistently maintained is not the right place for the type of provision that the that the government wishes to make . wishes to make. >> so what are some of the problems ? what have some of problems? what have some of these good british military families been saying to you ? families been saying to you? >> well, in terms of what are the problems with this site, it's an isolated site . it's in it's an isolated site. it's in the country. it has no public transport. and clearly, the facilities basically are very much as they were when the us

forces left that base. many many years ago. um it's not going to be a detention centre. it's a place where asylum seekers will be free to come and go free. there's not many places you can go from this place. there's no pubuc go from this place. there's no public transport. as i say, the nearest largest town is braintree, which isn't a huge town and that's some 10 to 12 miles away. so we don't think it's the right place for it. we have been battling with the home office through the courts. um fortunately, the courts have not not given us granted us an injunction and neither have they determined a key issue, which is the government is relying on something which is called class . q i won't go into the details , but basically what that means is that the government is saying this is an emergency. we do not. therefore need to abide by planning with the local authority and we can just go ahead and do it. and we reject that. >> yeah, they're claiming that

it's emergency . i >> yeah, they're claiming that it's emergency. i mean, it is it's emergency. i mean, if it is an emergency, it's an emergency of their own making. but when it comes families, comes to the families, what are they saying to you? we've just heard you, something heard that from you, something that must i hadn't that i must admit i hadn't considered before, it kind considered before, but it kind of even more angry, of makes me even more angry, which you've got which is that you've got children will be living children who will be living outside this, going outside like this, going to schools with a life who will probably end up being traumatised , possibly, certainly traumatised, possibly, certainly massively discomforted by having to move to a different school to set up a new life somewhere else in order for us to prioritise these people who we're quite possibly don't even know what convictions they have in foreign countries, which is staggering . countries, which is staggering. well i'm not going to use that sort of language about the asylum seekers that are coming in. >> you know, they will need to be properly processed in terms of the families themselves , of the families themselves, clearly, they are military families. they are used to moving from one military base to

another here. and as far as the direct contact between those families and the council, there has been none because they're not applying. they're not being made homeless, which would be the only occasion, if you like, when someone would come to us as the local housing authority to assist. i am , i say i the assist. i am, i say i the council has been assured that these people have been properly contacted by both the home office and the ministry of defence. but i cannot give you any evidence that that is taken ehhen any evidence that that is taken either. taken place or not taken place . place. >> okay. well, it's interesting . i mean, i'll tell you what, i'd be chaining myself to the fence post outside my house if i particularly cared about it. but. but there we go. look. thank you very much. it's the conservative leader of braintree district council, graham butler . those those adverts. . you know those those adverts. daniels i was made in carlisle , daniels i was made in carlisle, but i was. you know what? it's made in the royal navy, whatever the heck it is, you know, it's ridiculous, isn't it? although they don't show you this idea that going to turfed

that you're going to be turfed out way for somebody out to make way for somebody else. it's just else. i mean, it's just absolutely isn't absolutely disgraceful, isn't it? up, we will get it? but coming up, we will get the latest on the ulez court appeal. they defeat sadiq appeal. will they defeat sadiq khan ? hopefully they do, khan? hopefully they do, actually. i have a couple actually. i also have a couple of absolute gems coming. of other absolute gems coming. your including including we your way, including including we tried to get to the bottom of what on earth is going on with this captain, sir tom moore charity controversy. i've had loads of emails in about this today, loads of tweets in about this today. we're going to try and find out, see if we can find out exactly what is going on there. gb views and gb news .com. don't move .

>> in the real world. join me at 7:00 on gb news. choose britain's news. channel >> the mayor of london does have the ipsis us power to expand aid into outer areas . this is, of

into outer areas. this is, of course, to do with ulez that's been heard at the high courts this week. five outer london councils are challenging the plans, alleging that sadiq khan acted unlawfully by applying an order varied existing regulations. all of this sounds a bit dull. i assure you that it's not. let me simplify it for you. do you fancy having to remortgage your house in order to drive your car to work or pick your kids up from school? if the answer to that is no, then listen up. from the 29th of august, the labour mayor wants to expand the ulez to include the whole of greater london. so this comes into buckinghamshire, surrey , kent, essex and surrey, kent, essex and hertfordshire. basically places that have not really got that much to do with london geographically covering an area three times as big as the current zone . now if you're current zone. now if you're watching this, as i know a lot of are and you're nowhere of you are and you're nowhere near london, you're up north or whatever, just seriously, again, listen court listen up, because the court case is happening now, case is happening right now, could or not could determine whether or not that , all that particularly rural, all leafy the world that you

leafy bit of the world that you live or wherever you live at live in or wherever you live at the really is like the moment, that really is like an outside your nearest an hour outside your nearest city. yeah the kind of place that you shouldn't really be paying that you shouldn't really be paying to drive around paying in order to drive around in for clean air. yeah, well, you might be if this court case is successful, all this will set the for the the tone for the nation. a judgement from the hearing is expected month. i'm expected later this month. i'm very joined very pleased to say. i'm joined now simon fawthrop , now by simon fawthrop, conservative for conservative councillor for bromley london borough council. and you have the dubious and you have had the dubious honour sitting in a courtroom honour of sitting in a courtroom for couple of days for the last couple of days listening boring waffle. but listening to boring waffle. but but, how important is it but, but how important is it firstly that sadiq khan is defeated here and what are the chances ? chances? >> first of all, it is really , >> first of all, it is really, really important that sadiq khan is defeated. frankly people's livelihoods, people's jobs, people's care packages, whole things like that are affected by it . i know people who are it. i know people who are wondering how they're going to go and visit the doctor. these are old people that just physically can't do it. and it's remarkable that it's so

important that even the labour candidate in uxbridge has decided to come out against ulez . of course, you know, of course, because i think the writings on the wall rather, and i think the chances are pretty good, i have to say. and you don't often say this about judges. the judge seems to be really fair minded. he was asking probing questions, not only our side, but of the only of our side, but of the other of the tfl side of other side of the tfl side of the case. and he seemed to be really switched on. so i hope he's and he's going to take his head up to the end of july, possibly to reach and reserve his judgement . his judgement. >> all right, so let's just >> but all right, so let's just put this a bit of context put this into a bit of context for people who say live near for liverpool or manchester or birmingham, let's try and context analyse this. how far context analyse this. so how far outside london would some people be living , where they would be living, where they would drive their car off their driveway ? and then i think we'll driveway? and then i think we'll have to pay £12.50 for the privilege essentially. >> literally, there are some people that are like two metres off the boundary because they have out through the

have to come out through the ulez zone to go and drive before they can get out. and there's literally people that are affected like that. but of course you forget that london is a massive city. we've got a huge population. often people come from to their from all over to visit their relatives. things like that are going to stop. you know, i have a very elderly parents who a very, very elderly parents who who who will be deterred from it. their car isn't ulez compliant. their time of life, you know, they're more worried about how long the last were about how long the last were about whether whether they'll get new car. so he'd already get a new car. so he'd already bought the cameras, apparently before he'd done the public consultation . consultation. >> and anybody who turned >> and then anybody who turned up oppose it, and in up to oppose it, which and in this video is available online, by include a wide by the way, which include a wide ranging people ranging demographic of people hugely working class group. apparently they were all far right . oh, you're all far right right. oh, you're all far right if you oppose the ulez and you are just right, which are just far right, which is absolutely isn't it? absolutely bonkers, isn't it? i mean, this could cripple people i >> -- >> it lam >> it certainly could. and, you know, we're experiencing that. and i'll give you some examples in our in our hospitals, some of

the nurses that work outside the area , far right, far right area, far right, far right nurses . sorry, sorry. nurses. sorry, sorry. >> yeah, they're all. yeah. >> yeah, they're all. yeah. >> having problems and we laugh , but it's serious. people are really affected. our social workers are thinking of quitting and not coming in. so that's people's livelihoods. yeah. and. and then of course, if you look at my safer neighbourhood team in the ward that i represent, none of those live in the area . none of those live in the area. if they've got to come in as well. that's the police force effectively. so all of our key services are under threat. >> this is in order to sacrifice ourselves yet again an altar of net zero. we and surrender ourselves without any police nurses or social care workers. i mean, you just couldn't you couldn't make it up. well, thank you very much. great to have you in the studio. and thank you very for attending that very much for attending that corgi being kind roving corgi being our kind of roving reporter almost well, court reporter almost as well, court case. so simon fawthrop, that conservative councillor for bromley council, bromley london borough council, look i think look like i said, i don't think you happening in a you fancy this happening in a town city you, but mark

town or city near you, but mark my there's every chance my words, there's every chance that it will. but next, and this is going live is big, we're going to go live to the ruling over the controversial dambusters dog grave . will it stay or will it grave. will it stay or will it go? we are going live for that. and this is the scandal for captain tom's daughter's swimming pool. yes that's right. now is this the worst case of charity abuse ever ? oh, don't go charity abuse ever? oh, don't go away. that is coming your way in away. that is coming your way in a tick .

big news, a request to move the body of a dog buried at raf scampton has just been rejected by west lindsey district council at their meeting this evening, raf heritage submitted the

request to move the grave of the black labrador , whose name is a black labrador, whose name is a racial slur . the dog was owned racial slur. the dog was owned by wing commander guy gibson, who led the famous dambusters raid from raf scampton in may 1943. the dog died on the eve of that raid, was buried on the grounds, which is now set to be used. obviously to accommodate illegal migrants, asylum seekers. raf heritage wish to remove the grave and the memorial to the dog and move it to raf marham in norfolk, where i'm reliably informed the dog never even endured walkies . our never even endured walkies. our east midlands reporter will hollis is currently at the meeting . look will thank you meeting. look will thank you very much. go on, take it away. what's just happened moments ago the yes well earlier today when i was reporting on this story , a i was reporting on this story, a member of the kyiv scampton community group said that keeping guy gibson's dog here at scampton is just one small part of a much bigger battle. >> and today here at this

planning committee meeting is that west lindsey district council described as extraordinarily be extraordinary that decision to remove guy gibson's dog has been rejected. it literally came through just a few moments ago . patrick, few moments ago. patrick, essentially what i was over heafing essentially what i was over hearing while i was just waiting to go live into your program tonight, was that the members of the planning committee were voting and they were voting on whether or to not reject or to accept the planning officers recommend stations and the planning officer's recommendation was to reject that proposal by heritage to remove guy gibson's dog. and they voted unanimously to in favour of that proposal. so they have now voted to reject the proposals that guy gibson's dog can be removed. what we've been heafing can be removed. what we've been hearing in the last hour in this planning meeting that was very calm. it was very patient, was

people offering their objections . there was also people stating why they think that guy gibson's dog should be removed. but overwhelmingly it was that people wanted this dog to stay and they wanted the dog to stay ultimately because it is a part of their history and their heritage. one of the big arguments, patrick, of course, is what will happen to a £300 million deal if 2000 asylum seekers are moved into scampton and if that dog isn't there, that would certainly hamper whatever that deal might be in the future. so as we've said, it is official while guy gibson's dog is expected to stay here at raf scampton yeah, absolutely . raf scampton yeah, absolutely. >> and it's important as well in the context well, of course, to say that another layer of controversy to this dog is its name, which we will not be repeating. but of course, this is a racial slur. repeating. but of course, this is a racial slur . what were some is a racial slur. what were some people saying at the meeting in terms of why they thought that dog should remain in there? then

what were the kind of thing was there? was the was the racial context raised as well? go on. talk to me about that a bit. well to be honest, patrick, there was only one time that i saw that the racial context of the dogs name was actually raised, and that was at the start, and that was the chair of the planning committee . the planning committee. >> and he said that we will not be using the name of guy gibson's dog. and anybody that does use the name of guy gibson's dog will have their microphone turned off and they will be asked sit down. it will be asked to sit down. it wasn't said that they would be asked and it wasn't asked to leave, and it wasn't said they would dragged said that they would be dragged out. there is police out. but there is police and there security here. mainly there is security here. mainly what people were talking about was what would happen if the dog was what would happen if the dog was taken away to this heritage deal was taken away to this heritage deal. £300 million on the table from scampton holdings to turn scampton into a world class heritage centre . another thing heritage centre. another thing that was brought up was why would you move a dog that had no connection to raf marham in

norfolk, 80 miles away to that base ? if only in 20 years. 617 base? if only in 20 years. 617 squadron would move from that base or raf marham would close down. there's been a number of times that raf that six and seven squadron, which is of course the dambuster squadron, has been disbanded and then it's been brought back up. so there have been a number of things that have been raised. but the big question was why would you move a dog somewhere has move a dog somewhere that it has no in when you have no connection in when you have a big deal on the table that could bfing big deal on the table that could bring jobs and money to this community? >> well, thank you very, >> well, look, thank you very, very much. i that you've very much. i know that you've been all over this story all day for us and bringing us just up to the second breaking news to the second big breaking news there. will hollis, who there. that is will hollis, who is, course, at that meeting. is, of course, at that meeting. joining is femi nylander, joining me now is femi nylander, who's actor, campaigner. who's actor, writer, campaigner. femi, thank you very, very femi, look, thank you very, very much. pleasure to have much. it's a pleasure to have you on the show any second now. there we go. right. good stuff. and you make of this and what do you make of this decision not to remove the decision then? not to remove the dog ?

dog? >> mean i only just heard about this today. >> at the end of the day, um, yeah, it's a dog . it's a dog. yeah, it's a dog. it's a dog. but it's kind of drives home. it's not even just a dog. it's the grave of a dog that's been dead for a very long time. and it what you said at the beginning where you said illegal migrants and then you corrected yourself said asylum seekers yourself and said asylum seekers because asylum doesn't because asylum seekers doesn't mean as illegal mean the same thing as illegal migrant. allowed to claim migrant. you're allowed to claim asylum international law. asylum under international law. and actually a thing and it's actually a legal thing to say i am a refugee. >> this country illegally claiming asylum. that's what i would just. let me finish, please. >> well, okay. fair enough. fair enough. but nonetheless mean illegal. illegal, illegal. we're talking about national law. we're talking about international law. the system of applying for asylum in a country is something which is legal under international law. um, now now, when we move on from that , now, when we move on from that, it's just because it's , it's it's just because it's, it's this empathy, isn't it? it's the fact that britain's not all britons . some britons have the

britons. some britons have the ability to empathise with animals. they have the ability to empathise with their pets. they think that pets should be able to have a grave and that grave should be respected. and yet they empathy or no yet they feel no empathy or no sadness when they know that the mediterranean is becoming a mass grave people fleeing from grave for people fleeing from war, fleeing from persecution, fleeing from from poverty. they have no empathy with these human beings. is it not what the dog is a symbol of? >> you know what the dog is a symbol of the dog is a symbol of a squadron that took part in the dambusters raid. they helped us to win the war. it's a massive, massively kind iconic thing. massively kind of iconic thing. that area to be fair, that area also, to be fair, i mean, i sympathy with the mean, i have sympathy with the people that area who pride people in that area who pride themselves of themselves on the heritage of that and the local history that site and the local history of and fact that it of it and the fact that it helped us win the war and the fact they were about to get £300 million worth investment and million worth of investment and the understand that the dog. yes, i understand that maybe just a dead maybe for you it is just a dead dog and it's some bones in the ground. i do get that right. but it is a symbol of something a

lot bigger. and yeah, people do empathise that. mean, empathise with that. i mean, you can a symbol. can have a symbol. >> a symbol is a symbol. a grave is a grave and a grave of bones in the ground. and you're saying it's a dog. we it's a grave, it's a dog. we care about the dog. you can have any kind of symbol about this. you could have you could have a big you could have any big plaque. you could have any kind at the end the kind of thing. at the end of the day, if they're trying to build something this grave something and there's this grave in for some reason in the way and for some reason or the other, they want to they want even could move want to even you could even move the headstone. let's be real the headstone. but let's be real about in the uk, we eat about this. in the uk, we eat animals the time. people eat animals all the time. people eat animals all the time. people eat animals all the time. people eat animals all time. people, animals all the time. people, people we, we farm animals like there's, there's, there's a clear say an clear thing where you say an animal isn't human in uk animal isn't a human in the uk supposedly. have all supposedly. and yet we have all this empathy with a dog. but at the same time we, we don't care about migrants. we don't care about migrants. we don't care about who are human about people who are human beings because from about people who are human b

on all this. it's faux pas in ireland writer and ireland there. actor, writer and campaigner. the fact is campaigner. i think the fact is that we are we are being forced to about people, aren't we, to care about people, aren't we, the taxpayers expense. now, finally, and this has been massively controversial. i don't know i get the know about you, but i get the sense there's a lot more left to run on this one. these saga of captain moore's daughter captain tom moore's daughter using charity up in his using the charity set up in his name to get a swimming pool in her back garden. hannah ingram—moore used the foundation's name in documents to get planning permission for a spa complex . the local council spa complex. the local council has now ordered it to be demolished. the reaction online has been absolutely hilarious . has been absolutely hilarious. by has been absolutely hilarious. by the way, actor russell crowe's picture of a beautifully lit town with the caption lit up town with the caption where i one person where am i now? one person tweeted, captain tom's daughter's . comedian daughter's back garden. comedian simon brodkin wrote , my the only simon brodkin wrote, my the only one who feels captain tom's family done nothing wrong . family have done nothing wrong. i'm that my donation was i'm happy that my donation was helped a and pool helped to build a spa and pool complex his lovely daughter helped to build a spa and pool com her. his lovely daughter helped to build a spa and pool com her husband,»vely daughter helped to build a spa and pool com her husband, colin, aughter helped to build a spa and pool com her husband, colin, who ter helped to build a spa and pool com her husband, colin, who must and her husband, colin, who must both still be exhausted from watching walk around the watching tom walk around the garden 100 hashtag good garden 100 times. hashtag good for them. and another one said captain tom walked out so she

could swim . okay there we go. could swim. okay there we go. who better to talk about this than the second funniest man at gb news? after me, of course, is steve and alan, comedian and gb news presenter. this has gone a long way to go, i suspect i mean, not content with captain sir tom moore being dragged to the caribbean shores before his death. yeah we now have a situation where there is a spa at his gaff . at his gaff. >> well, i mean, you say it's a spa, but i think if you check the paperwork, it is the sir captain tom moore memorial building for available for everyone's use as long as it's just the family. because there was a sign that said private, which makes it less public. i think that's almost the definition of the word. so they appued definition of the word. so they applied for retrospective planning permission , they planning permission, so they other were perfectly other parts were perfectly normally built and they decided to spa pool hall to put this spa pool hall because it's important to know that's not one of the big shops that's not one of the big shops that sells stuff between seven and 11, they put it in the

and 11, and they put it in the back garden, which this is the back garden, which i this is the problem me. that means you problem for me. that means you can't the back can't walk around the back garden. it's definitely garden. so it's definitely not what have if what he would have wanted. if there's thing we know about there's one thing we know about captain he like walking in captain tom, he like walking in back in many ways, back gardens. so in many ways, this up the wrong way. >> i mean, look, obviously they are assisting the charity commission with their investigation . there an investigation. there was an investigation. there was an investigation around investigation launched around a year ago as well, or some inquiries that were being lodged. so it's not the first time there has been whether this is unfair or not. there has been a whiff around the captain, sir tom moore foundation or whatever the heck it's called for a while, hasn't it? yeah >> i mean, they had to look into how much the daughter was getting to be the boss of getting paid to be the boss of this charitable foundation paying this charitable foundation paying herself grand. they paying herself 100 grand. they said much. and said that's too much. and eventually go on 85 eventually she had to go on 85 grand i'd still grand a year. i'd still take that case the sir captain that in case the sir captain steve charity ever works out. i've applied because i want to build the thing out the back and i thought if i put my name on it. >> public use yeah public if
