3:01 am
crisis in its history. deeply . crisis in its history. deeply. angry about the two tier system we have in our country today, where those who can afford it are paying to go private and those who can't afford it are being left behind. >> and my answer would in >> and my answer would be in the short where is spare short term, where there is spare capacity in the private sector, we should be paying it on we should be paying for it on nhs terms. so that people who can't afford it are getting it free at the point of use. that would be my answer. i've got no objection to using private sector capacity to get nhs waiting lists down faster for wes streeting speaking earlier on today. >> now the wimbledon tennis championships were disrupted by just stop oil demonstrate sessions twice this afternoon . sessions twice this afternoon. one protester was arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage after orange confetti was strewn across court. 18. that's after two other activists were detained for targeting the same court. the group says it took action because of the tournament sponsorship deal with barclays
3:02 am
bank, which it says has given £30 billion to oil and gas companies over the last two years. now there's anger over plans which would see the closure of almost every railway station ticket office in england. the proposal unveiled by the rail delivery group, affects hundreds of stations , affects hundreds of stations, with facilities only expected to remain open at the busiest stations as disability charities and unions are among those who voiced their concerns , saying voiced their concerns, saying it's going to impact vulnerable people and will lead to job losses. the decision about which offices will be closed will be made after a consultation process . as a council is process. as a council is launching legal action against the home secretary over the number of migrant children arriving on its shores . kent arriving on its shores. kent county council says it's under a wholly disproportion strain due to hundreds of unaccompanied asylum seeking children, despite asylum seeking children, despite a national scheme to distribute migrants across counties. the
3:03 am
location of dover's port means that kent is affected more than others . council bosses say the others. council bosses say the pressure on its services continues to be overlooked by central government , which continues to be overlooked by central government, which has prompted them to begin a claim for judicial review against suella braverman . and lastly, suella braverman. and lastly, king charles has been presented with the honours of scotland today at a service of thanksgiving in edinburgh. the king received the oldest crown jewels in britain. that's a crown, a sceptre and a sword made of gold, silver and gems . made of gold, silver and gems. and the day of pomp and pageantry was concluded with a fly—past by the red arrows. emblazoning the sky with red, white and blue. the event saw several protests , however, with several protests, however, with police scotland confirming two women were arrested after they allegedly tried to climb over crowd barriers . you're up to crowd barriers. you're up to date on tv , online dab+ radio date on tv, online dab+ radio and the tune in app. this is gb news. the people's .
3:04 am
news. the people's. channel >> good evening. it's mark dolan in for the brilliant dan wootton . lovely to have your company . . lovely to have your company. the nhs is 75 today and it's time to put the old deer out of her misery. we love the doctors , we love the nurses. but today is no celebration. our national health service is a national health shambles. as we get sicker by the day, a devastating new study of 19 major health services by the respected king's fund found that ours came second last on the all important metric of saving lives . only america's of saving lives. only america's was worse . that's like being was worse. that's like being beaten by the republic of ireland in cricket . the nhs has ireland in cricket. the nhs has some of the worst survival rates for cancer, heart attacks and strokes among advanced health systems . and we have the second systems. and we have the second lowest life expectancy among wealthy countries. and it's not just about the money. the uk
3:05 am
ranks sixth on the list for health expenditure as a percentage of gdp. the £180 billion a year that we now spend on health and social care is responsible for 40% of every pound we spend on public services. it's a broken business model that would have crooked banker bernard madoff blushing . banker bernard madoff blushing. people boast that the nhs is the largest employer in europe. that's not a boast. that is a sign of its wild inefficiency. don't forget, every penny wasted in the nhs is money that could be spent on our military to stand up to tyrants like vladimir putin. that could be spent on education, to invest in our young people and could be spent on policing to make our streets safer for it's time to take a long, sharp blade to the sacred cow of the nhs. it's my view that health care should be available to all irrespective of
3:06 am
income that is my red line. but beyond that, nothing should be off the table in terms of reform, and it's pretty clear that private enterprise has a part to play. a view echoed by labour's tony blair laying out his blueprint for a new nhs . his blueprint for a new nhs. today, businesses have targets. they know how to manage costs. they know how to manage costs. they look at the bottom line. if a business isn't efficient or spends more than comes in, it goes bust. the nhs has been lacking that discipline since its inception . option. it's its inception. option. it's a money pit that will never be filled. but if we're going to talk about our health service , talk about our health service, then the elephant in the room is pubuc then the elephant in the room is public health itself. the nhs spends the lion's share of its resources managing illness rather than getting us better with preventable lifestyle related condition like type 2 diabetes and obe motty hoovering up the nhs precious billions. the health service is now spending a fortune on knee replacements for 35 year olds.
3:07 am
unheard of a few decades ago , unheard of a few decades ago, and many of the nhs problems are not financial but cultural . for not financial but cultural. for example, the nhs is in the grip of the pharmaceutical industry . of the pharmaceutical industry. so whatever your problem, they don't ask about your lifestyle. instead they flick through their rolodex deciding which medication to prescribe next. there's a pill for everything. but as any rock star will tell you, the drugs don't work. america, for example , is the america, for example, is the most medicated nation on earth and among the illest. most medicated nation on earth and among the illest . the nhs is and among the illest. the nhs is now institutionally woke with dangerous unisex wards and leaflets, referring to women as birthing humans and chest feeders. what an insult. and millions are spent on diversity officers for the most diverse employer on earth. make it make sense. during the pandemic, it became the national covid service chaining shut gp surgeries and cancelling treatments. the nhs backed those
3:08 am
ruinous lockdowns, which have left us with a broken economy, a poorer, more divided society, a mental health tsunami , an nhs mental health tsunami, an nhs waiting list of 7 million people and a generation of damaged kids and a generation of damaged kids and they presided over vaccine tyranny, seeking to jab all and sundry, including those who patently didn't need it . and the patently didn't need it. and the deification of the institution itself leaves me cold. whether itself leaves me cold. whether it was the bashing of saucepans dunng it was the bashing of saucepans during covid this north korean style scene of a children's choir performing on bbc's newsnight last week or the glastonbury festival with their bizarre tribute to our health service . how ironic. it's service. how ironic. it's probably easier to get tickets to glastonbury than to see your gp this side of christmas. i'm still waiting for that hip replacement, but at least i got to see elton john. he's still standing. i'm not not with this pain. and to make matters worse, belligerent health unions are
3:09 am
threatening doctors strikes until 2025. and with desperate brits now borrowing money or using savings to pay for private treatment , the nhs is becoming treatment, the nhs is becoming like the bbc, something we've all got to pay for. but one which many don't even use. people often say the nhs is the envy of the world. maybe 50 years ago, but not now. like madonna , ronnie wood and the madonna, ronnie wood and the wimpy burger chain, it's seen better days as the people are great. the service isn't 75 years on the nhs is broken beyond repair. it's enough to make you sick to respond to that. my superstar panel concert lviv peer baroness foster , lviv peer baroness foster, businessman and activist adam brooks and former labour party adviser matthew lasar. let me start with you. our nhs is on life support. it's time to pull the plug. >> it's not time to pull the plug, but it's certainly time for some serious surgery. and that's actually what we saw in
3:10 am
the news. wes labour's the news. wes streeting labour's health has been health spokesperson has been talking about today. there's a big danger here, and i've said this other senior this to wes and to other senior people, that if nhs that people, that if the nhs that labour gets between public labour gets stuck between public dissatisfaction and unhappy unions representing unhappy workers and that would be a danger for keir coming to government. but i don't think we're be moving an we're going to be moving to an insurance soon. insurance system anytime soon. but certainly , you know, the nhs but certainly, you know, the nhs has to buck its game up, its has got to buck its game up, its game. the party up its game. >> well look, the nhs needs to do that. the labour party, i think is more left wing now under keir starmer than it was was tony blair. keir was under tony blair. keir starmer doesn't have cat's in starmer doesn't have a cat's in hell's chance of making the nhs more competitive, which is blair's , isn't it.7 blair's blueprint, isn't it.7 >> because you had wes >> no, because you just had wes talking bringing in and talking about bringing in and using sector capacity. i using private sector capacity. i would that the we saw the would say that the we saw the nhs revolutionised under the last labour government . we saw last labour government. we saw waiting lists come tumbling down. we saw nobody waiting more than 18 months, literally nobody across the country. now we have tens of thousands, i think
3:11 am
actually labour will be radical in doing what's needed. but on the reverse of that is where's and keir will have to stand up and keir will have to stand up and we'll have to make clear to those working in the nhs most of whom do a brilliant job, but that the way they work excuse me, the way they work needs to get because there's been get better because there's been this that this terrible statistic that there 27% decrease there have been 27% decrease since covid in nhs productivity compared a 1% decrease across compared to a 1% decrease across the economy. that's not sustainable. those of us who want nhs succeed and want to see the nhs succeed and want to see the nhs succeed and want see getting the cash want to see it getting the cash it it can't be a black it needs, it can't be a black hole, but labour will not stand up to the public sector. >> labour won't tough with >> labour won't be tough with the will yield the unions. they will yield to those inflation busting demands and they not the nhs and they will not change the nhs because not because by because they will not because by their to keep the their paymasters to keep the status quo. >> we saw change under the last labour government and we'll see change the labour change under the next labour government. seen over government. what we've seen over the years is stops when the last ten years is stops when you say change, do you mean more socialism in the nhs.7 >> because no, i mean i mean things like sorting social care out, this government has out, which this government has
3:12 am
had to hasn't done. had 13 years to do, hasn't done. >> and is a massive drain causing and causing huge problems and pulling for example. >> baroness foster, your reaction the nhs.7 reaction to 75 years of the nhs.7 well i thought your introduction actually number actually covered a huge number of i have to say i of areas, and i have to say i agreed with of it. agreed with all of it. >> i think it's a great shared. >> i think it's a great shared. >> i think it's a great shared. >> i invited you tonight. >> i invited you tonight. >> i invited you tonight. >> i think it's a great shame because i recall, you know, going my parents, you going back when my parents, you know, nhs was created, my know, the nhs was created, my mother as a young girl had had diphtheria and then of course, we were vaccinated as time we were all vaccinated as time went but inevitably, when went on. but inevitably, when you look at the advances in technology, when you look at the increase in the population and we were talking about comparisons, for example, with other countries, i mean, i've worked and lived in 3 or 4 other countries and i think where we have an issue is there's this dogma that surrounds the nhs having to remain as the nhs , and having to remain as the nhs, and everything that's private is a terrible thing. and while it's a political football , whatever the political football, whatever the labour party may say or wes
3:13 am
streeting , as soon as anybody streeting, as soon as anybody who's a conservative says something like , well, we need to something like, well, we need to look how we restructure it immediately, then the cry goes out. well, of course you just want to privatise everything notwithstanding, as has been mentioned, i mean, the number of hips and knees that are actually done, the replacements are actually done in so many private hospitals. that's gone on for years. so there's not an issue with the labour party that that happens. but i think as a general rule, what i think i've noficedis general rule, what i think i've noticed is the problem is with the nhs, it's, it's reactive, it's not proactive . kyiv and it's not proactive. kyiv and therefore you quite rightly say one of the biggest budgets that it actually has is when we're looking at the effects of obesity and half the population are overweight or more, and then the disease is that come from that. the disease is that come from that . some of the cancers, when that. some of the cancers, when you speak to the oncologist and others, i mean, a lot of this is preventable , bill. and we appear preventable, bill. and we appear to have gp's at times that if you can manage to see a gp and
3:14 am
then they're basically being told from the quangos and nhs england , you know, you must be england, you know, you must be sensitive with people if they're overweight, make them feel overweight, don't make them feel embarrassed. people need to embarrassed. but people need to know because the more you try and protect people then they're living in under a false sense of security. >> years and years ago, i was growing up. family friend needed a liver and the doctor said, a new liver and the doctor said, you're not getting one until you stop drinking quite. and that was of responsibility was the sort of responsibility i think lacking now. adam think we're lacking now. adam brooks, you're a top entrepreneur organiser entrepreneur and an organiser of people. fix the nhs? nhs.7 >> nhs? >> well , i nhs? >> well, i think a lot of middle management needs to go, you know, as i watched some programs today about the nhs , they have a today about the nhs, they have a meeting, about a meeting and then someone has to write the notes about meeting and notes up about the meeting and then it to someone else to then send it to someone else to analyse the meeting, notes . it's analyse the meeting, notes. it's there's so much waste. i used to have a supplier had to do have a supplier that had to do price lists, you know , one was price lists, you know, one was for the nhs and one was for the general public. the nhs used to pay way general public. the nhs used to pay way over the odds and there was no one in the nhs checking
3:15 am
this. was they? and was they this. or was they? and was they corrupt? there's a lot corrupt? i think there's a lot of corruption and a lot of waste, but am i missing something you know, is a something today, you know, is a 75th birthday a meaningful birthday? is it some magical number? no, it's not. and i find in bad taste that we're celebrating and worshipping and an organisation that has 7.4 million people waiting on the waiting list and 1 in 3 cannot access its services as i think it's very bad taste . but i think it's very bad taste. but i think the majority of nhs staff are wonderful people. they're there to help. but there's also some real nasty, bitter . i see it real nasty, bitter. i see it dunng real nasty, bitter. i see it during covid. a lot of the abuse that i would get on twitter was from so—called nhs workers. there is a sense of entitlement. they've got a sense of entitlement. if they've got that nhs they should have nhs badge that they should have discounts they have discounts, that they should have special treatment, no , get on special treatment, no, get on with job. that's what you with your job. that's what you chose and most of you are chose to do and most of you are special people. i've been treated in hospital, so is my relatives and i appreciate that.
3:16 am
but you're not above everyone else. you chose to do that. did you clap ? you know what? my nan you clap? you know what? my nan was in hospital during the first few weeks of covid badly ill, and so i did clap. my kids wanted to clap because they'd been told to at school. so i went along with that. but after weeks, you know, i woke up and started pushing back. and i think the nhs has a lot to answer for, for become in the national covid service. as you say . say. >> look, has the halo >> okay, well look, has the halo supped >> okay, well look, has the halo slipped the national health slipped for the national health service? me your service? let me know your thoughts. dan gb news .com. still to come after a leading petition took down a petition website took down a desperate plea from five school girls to ban unisex toilets. are we putting our daughters in danger? broadcast writer and former teacher tanya buxton is fired up on this and she joins me live soon. but next up in the clash, following a vocal anti monarchist backlash to king charles's scottish coronation is the new monarch strong enough to see off the growing republican threat ? one of the protesters in
3:17 am
3:20 am
3:21 am
tonia buxton and paul burrell on the way. but time now for the clash . and the king arrived in clash. and the king arrived in edinburgh for his scottish coronation. today, only to be met by a rabid anti monarchist backlash. look at these scenes from earlier . on television . from earlier. on television. motty . not my thing, not my day i >> -- >> not my day, not my day. not my day. no. my game . not my king. >> what a bunch of king idiots. now he must be said this was a vocal minority who were challenged by a much larger group of spectators loyal to the royal family. but with republican protest, it's also breaking out. before may's coronation, king charles is suddenly under massive pressure to preserve the monarchy that he inherited in great shape from the late queen under a year ago
3:22 am
. so what do you think? following a vocal anti—monarchist backlash at the scottish coronation, is the king strong enough to see off the growing republican threat? let me know your thoughts. email me, de—man . gb news .com or tweet me de—man. gb news .com or tweet me at gb news. and whilst you're there, please vote in the poll. i'll bring you the results of that shortly. but to debate this now, i'm delighted to welcome aunfie now, i'm delighted to welcome auntie monarchy campaigner riz posnett , who up in edinburgh posnett, who is up in edinburgh right now former to right now and former aide to margaret thatcher, nigel gardiner. riz posnett. what's the problem with king charles? he's doing a great job. >> i mean, i can come to all of that, right? uh to be clear, our issue is not even specifically with king charles's , with the with king charles's, with the monarchy, the british monarchy as an institution. but just to clarify quickly, first, you said vocal minority. that's just objectively untrue. you can look up the pictures, videos yourself . there were barely any people on the streets supporting the king and a massive demo. in fact , multiple different demos at
3:23 am
different points along the route . the fact of the matter is , it . the fact of the matter is, it was an embarrassment today and it would be purely funny if it weren't for the fact that it was paid for by the taxpayer. we're in an economy where we just can't afford that. however riz, don't you want a world famous figure like king charles representing the whole of the united kingdom, including scotland ? scotland? >> and after all, who's heard of these obscure presidents? could you name me the president of germany or the president of ireland . ireland. >> i mean, i'm not going to go into those specifics. that's kind of besides the point as far as i'm you know, what they're called. >> do you know the name of the president of germany? do you know the name of the president? because that's the alternative to monarchy some to a monarchy is some clapped out politician suit . out politician in a suit. >> so, yeah, absolutely right. charles is well, i'm not sure infamous. i mean, in britain, sure, people know who he is . sure, people know who he is. people across the world knew who the queen was. but that's besides the point . like we can besides the point. like we can talk about this specific person,
3:24 am
but reality is a monarchy in but the reality is a monarchy in modern britain not just modern britain is not just viable. we it's completely undemocratic . we can't afford undemocratic. we can't afford it. and you'll say, oh , they it. and you'll say, oh, they bnngin it. and you'll say, oh, they bring in this much money, but they don't. the estates do. and we should open those to the pubuc we should open those to the public and ticket them. right. like the facts are there. you can go and look them up. it costs us so much money, we can't afford it . and besides all of afford it. and besides all of that, it's completely undemocratic. in the first place, have an elected place, we should have an elected head state can represent head of state who can represent the british people the interests of british people , because charles has shown that he do that. him he can't do that. we've seen him intervene in politics consistently , even before he consistently, even before he became king. um, just for his pet projects. anything from like the medicine with needles or whatever it's called to like environmental stuff. and that's not like wide scale climate change. that's just like pet projects. he's he's not a good political figure and it's completely inaccurate to say that he has no influence, influence over politics. we
3:25 am
could do so much better with an elected head of state who is representing british people both domestically and on global domestically and on a global stage. and shouldn't be proud stage. and we shouldn't be proud of embarrassing . of him. he's embarrassing. >> what you wish for. >> be careful what you wish for. >> be careful what you wish for. >> i'm surprised you don't like charles. he's the most woke monarch had, monarch we've ever had, particularly relation particularly in relation to his obsession net get rid obsession with net zero. get rid of him at your peril. nigel gardner. the case for a king. >> well, thanks very much having me on the show you today, mark. and i have to say, if that's the level of anti—monarchy sentiment out there that we've just heard , i think the future of the monarchy is extremely safe . monarchy is extremely safe. actually. after all, the british people overwhelmed only support the british monarchy . the the british monarchy. the british people are proud of the monarchy . british people are proud of the monarchy. king charles i c already has an approval rating. according to yougov of over 60. prince william has an approval . prince william has an approval. rating 75. and you look at this small demonstration of rather foul mouthed individuals on the streets of edinburgh, you
3:26 am
compare that with the overwhelming public support for the king, for the monarchy. there is a huge difference . and there is a huge difference. and i do think that the king represents great britain very well on the world stage . and the well on the world stage. and the british people are proud to have a monarchy. the british monarchy is widely admired across across the world and i think the king and also, of course, prince william are outstanding representatives for the monarchy. they follow in the footsteps of the queen and i do think that great britain's prestigious image on the world stage is greatly enhanced , stage is greatly enhanced, actually, by by the monarchy and by by the royal family. and we should be proud of the of the royal family, proud of the monarchy, what it stands for. and if you look at those who oppose the monarchy, i have to say a very small minority of the of the population really . and of the population really. and you look at what they're saying, a lot of it's just completely incomprehensible, driven by outright. right. hatred, rudeness and vulgarity that we
3:27 am
saw today on the streets of edinburgh. you compare that with the tremendous s i think sense heart of service that you see from from the royal family exemplified and i think especially by by prince william next in line for the throne . and next in line for the throne. and you look at the heart of service for the british people, for the british nation, and you compare and contrast that with the with the kind of , i and contrast that with the with the kind of, i would say outright nastiness and unpleasantness of some of those who represent the anti monarchy movement. i think there's a very stark contrast between the two response. >> by the way, fair play to you for joining us on the show to argue your corner. i love scotland, lived there for four years in edinburgh university up there. what a city. what a country. we love scotland. i've got so many viewers up in scotland and listeners and i think that scotland is particularly lucky to have king charles because last thing charles because the last thing you want that prize numpty. you want is that prize numpty. the . new first minister, mr
3:28 am
the. new first minister, mr yusuf humza yousaf, representing scotland abroad. you want somebody like the king, a world famous statesman . famous statesman. >> so . >> so. >> so. >> okay, sorry there's so much to come back on there. first of all, british pride . pride in the all, british pride. pride in the king. sorry. i think that's completely embarrassing. we've got sources of pride. got better sources of pride. and i personally think that an institution built on imperialism, racism , imperialism, racism, exploitation is not our main source of pride. can i just racism from wrap up some of these points. >> what's racist about king charles? >> we know the history of the british monarchy. we know exactly where what history and their strength came from in the past. right. that is so it's not. >> king charles, deceptively speaking, the history of the monarchy. >> so for me, that that institution of monarchy is not a good source of pride. and there are so many people in in modern britain who can't detach that history because they still suffer the consequences of it. we could have pride in in modern britain, right? we can have pride. don't you want the great
3:29 am
people of scotland to be properly represented abroad ? properly represented abroad? >> okay. if you've got the king who travels for example, to paris, he's going to the elysee palace. if king charles goes to america, he will stay at the white house. if it was a president, they'd be at a houdayinn president, they'd be at a holiday inn express . the point holiday inn express. the point is that our king brings soft diplomatic power, recognition and is a huge, huge selling point for this country as a brand . brand. >> so that's what i was getting at before you cut me off. objectively untrue , right? objectively untrue, right? people will say like, oh, everyone watched coronation. everyone watched the coronation. everyone and everyone loves the pomp and pageantry . pageantry. >> they did. >> they did. >> people hang on. think >> people abroad hang on. think it's funny? we're pathetic on the global stage. britain is in massive decline and the solution to being significant to providing providing solutions in the future is not going back to the future is not going back to the past. and like rehearsing the past. and like rehearsing the same old the same old rubbish and to not do a good job
3:30 am
of representing us like briefly , if you can, i'll work respond to the utter, utterly ignorant nonsense that we've just heard. >> actually, just staggering levels of stupidity here being put forward. >> great britain is hugely respected on the world stage . respected on the world stage. >> the monarchy is hugely respect . and this idea that respect. and this idea that britain is in decline is complete and utter nonsense . complete and utter nonsense. this idea that britain is a racist country or the monarchy is racist. i complete and utter lies, disinformation here. >> have you people have read a book ever? >> like have you like did you study history just out of interest? like just just a quick one. one. >> one. >> british the anti british statements that we just heard are absolutely appalling and should condemned , anti should be condemned, anti british like. >> i'm proud of my community that i organise with. i think british people are with . british people are with. >> so the struggles . >> so the struggles. >> so the struggles. >> riz, please allow now to finish and i'll get you get you to have the last word niall , to have the last word niall, final thoughts please. yeah

3:37 am
3:38 am
for joining us now. five teenage forjoining us now. five teenage girls have had their desperate plea for single sex toilets in schools taken down by the petition website change.org. the students were protesting the downright dangerous rollout of mixed gender toilets across the country. after three schoolgirls in essex were sexually assaulted in essex were sexually assaulted in gender neutral facilities last week. and the campaign gained thousands of signatures and widespread support before it was incredibly shut down by change.org org, with critics accusing the platform of caving in to pressure from the extreme trans lobby. well i'm delighted now to be joined by broadcaster , campaigner and former teacher tonia buxton. tonya, great to see you. good evening. how are our daughters in danger ? yes. our daughters in danger? yes. why? because as these mixed sex toilets acas are causing them such issues, just take away any kind of take aways that the boys that are abusing girls just take young teenage boys. >> just that as an example alone. firstly, before we go into i remember what the more
3:39 am
the more sinister hormonal their hormonal and their silly. mainly you know, i've had girls come up to me and tell me stories about how they don't want to go to the loos if they're on their periods . it's an uncomfortable thing. girls their bodies are changing. there's going the there's so much going on. the last want to do is go last thing they want to do is go to the loo and have to change a sanitary towel and have some boy rattling the door outside. boys taking, putting and taking, putting cameras and clicking you clicking pictures because, you know, loos in schools are they have gaps at the gaps at have gaps at the top, gaps at the bottom. this is what goes on. but even even even those that sinister, that that aren't sinister, that aren't girls , they're aren't abusing girls, they're joking with their mates. joking around with their mates. they're jumping up. they're humiliating . it's humiliating the girls. it's completely wrong. >> and even if they're not relating to the girls directly, it's the proximate motty of male voices in that sort of intimate setting, which is a problem, isn't it? >> because a friend of mine was in a high street shop and she was trying on clothes. now she had her own cubicle in a unisex changing room, but she's trying on involves being on a dress which involves being in underwear. like
3:40 am
in her underwear. and she, like is these deep male is hearing these deep male voices door to her already. voices next door to her already. she feels scared and threatened. and this must be ten times worse if we're talking about 40 year old girls. >> so much worse. and the >> it's so much worse. and the fact that these young girls wrote letter to rishi sunak wrote a letter to rishi sunak literally very calmly plotting out why they don't want single sex toilets, one of the main things in english, toilets, engush things in english, toilets, english schools now don't even have enough toilets in the schools anymore because the population has grown. there's not enough toilets it is. so not enough toilets as it is. so making mixed sex toilets making these mixed sex toilets is making it very difficult. 50% of students are girls and of the students are girls and they want some privacy. they're going through hormonal changes. they want some privacy. they're going tifeelingrormonal changes. they want some privacy. they're going tifeeling uncomfortable ies. they're feeling uncomfortable with their bodies. and there are some really predatory teenagers , as of course, teenage boys are known to be. they have no sympathy. all they want to do is empathy and also they they just want to cop a glance. and so they're looking at every way they're looking at every way they can and they're aggressive. >> and some of them will be attackers, which happened in essex. believe we're essex. i can't believe we're having this conversation. the
3:41 am
world mad. do world has clearly gone mad. do you think that, by the way, your reaction to tech company reaction to this tech company changed change.org is absolutely disgusting. down. >> but the worst of it is they tookit >> but the worst of it is they took it down. they i mean, we know these tech companies are behaving and these behaving very badly. and these tech these idiots in california as org as well changed our org probably. biggest thing probably. but my biggest thing is stonewall , which the old is that stonewall, which the old stonewall that gave gay people their rights and we were all part of that. i mean, we all joined that and now they've jumped gay rights, haven't they? well what's happened with gay rights what we wanted, rights is we got what we wanted, you well done. the right you know, well done. the right thing happened in people can marry the marry each other. they get the same work. and you know, there is issue with gay people is no issue with gay people anymore. in anymore. and so stonewall in order going, had come order to keep going, had to come up something and they up with something else. and they have up with this trans have come up with this trans ideology which completely ideology, which is completely wrong. no place for wrong. there is no place for this in schools. this ideology in schools. >> isn't about >> and this isn't about welcoming people . welcoming trans people. >> it's got nothing. it's >> no, it's got nothing. it's got nothing to do. >> would you say, though, >> what would you say, though, to age 14? >> feel they're in the >> they feel they're in the wrong body and a unisex toilet

holding day. holding their wee all day. >> do for their studies? >> and their ability to concentrate? >> forget about studying ability. making them sick. ability. it's making them sick. it's other it's making them sick and other other who refuse to and other girls who refuse to go and they don't go to the they don't want to go to the toilets to change their sanitary towels are using super big pads and very uncomfortable and feeling very uncomfortable and feeling very uncomfortable and day just and horrible. all day long just because want to go because they don't want to go into mixed sex toilets. so into the mixed sex toilets. so this has to it's wrong and this has to stop. it's wrong and it's it stop . it's immoral and it must stop. >> there you go. three words for you. well come to hell. my thanks to the amazing tanya buxton, who, i've got to say is an and a regular an absolute star and a regular here gb we'll catch up here on gb news. we'll catch up soon. coming up, with plunging poll ratings and accusations that up, that he's completely given up, should call labour's should rishi sunak call labour's bluff hold a snap general bluff and hold a snap general election ? that's our big debate election? that's our big debate in the media. buzz but next, after farage speaks out after nigel farage speaks out about his political persecution by the uk's banks, is britain in the grip of a communist style takeover? that's the view of england football legend matt le tissier, and he's.
3:47 am
next football legend matt le tissier is tonight's outsider. the banking scandal originally sparked by nigel farage, has now unravelled a flurry of other cases where people accused of wrong thing have disturbingly seen their accounts closed . a seen their accounts closed. a gender critical vicar revealed he was debunked. a brand new, disgusting verb that we've learnt this week by yorkshire building society. that happened last month whilst women rights campaign owners yesterday said they had the rug pulled beneath them by rbs women's rights campaigners, folks . so with campaigners, folks. so with dissident voices seemingly being punished by authoritarian corporations and the nation still suffering, the hangover of chinese style pandemic lockdowns, is britain in the
3:48 am
grip of a communist style takeover? well, that's what england idol matt le tissier thinks with the former southampton hero tweeting the time to speak is now. a communist takeover is slowly being implemented . they're very being implemented. they're very clever, but they don't fool everyone. good will triumph over evil. what a tweet . what? well, evil. what a tweet. what? well, the ptice was mocked for his analysis by the likes of woke lefty comic david baddiel and bbc luvvie richard bacon. but was unwavering in his faith of such criticism. he joins us now. matt le tissier, great to have you on the show. wonderful to meet your heroes. at last, the lockdowns vaccine mandates cashless society , universal cashless society, universal bafic cashless society, universal basic income. it's not a conspiracy at all, is it? it's a reality . reality. >> i'm afraid it is a reality. and, you know, you can call it commun ism, marxism, whatever label you want to give it, but it's all heading towards the same thing. and that's the
3:49 am
erosion of our freedoms as people. and i find it incredibly concerning the way that this country is going . and they're country is going. and they're doing it very, very slowly , doing it very, very slowly, although it's they seem to be cranking things up a little bit over the last few months. and a lot of people don't realise what's going on. and, you know, by me pointing or trying to point that out and to try and get people to think about this stuff, it appears, yeah , that stuff, it appears, yeah, that that's the cue for all the, all the people who are probably in favour of communism actually, who decided to try and attack me because i had the temerity to speak out against their ideologies and as long as i'm annoying all the right kind of people, then i'm quite happy to keep tweeting. don't worry about that. >> yes, i mean, some matt would argue that use of the word communism is a bit far fetched. what would you say that . um, what would you say to that. um, well , no, i what would you say to that. um, well, no, i think you've only got to look at what's happened
3:50 am
to people who go against the government narrative. >> you know , having bank >> you know, having bank accounts frozen , you know, accounts frozen, you know, political opponents being attacked . i think the stuff that attacked. i think the stuff that is going on right now, i don't think is too different to what has happened in communist countries in the past. has happened in communist countries in the past . and so, countries in the past. and so, yeah , you can as i said, you can yeah, you can as i said, you can call it whatever name you want. um but we are growing really having our freedoms taken away from us and, and they are, they are doing it. and if you haven't read the story of, of or know about boiling the ethical frog, then i suggest you read up on it because that's exactly what they seem to be doing to us. >> are you surprised, matt, that people in the world of football have not spoken out . have not spoken out. >> am i surprised ? um there have >> am i surprised? um there have been a few . in >> am i surprised? um there have been a few. in all
3:51 am
>> am i surprised? um there have been a few . in all fairness, been a few. in all fairness, there have been some, and i've had quite a lot of people come up to me in person in fact, i had three people come up to me just this morning at at a golf day that i was playing three footballers who all came up and congratulated me and said, well done for speaking out. don't stop. with everything stop. we agree with everything that saying. those that you're saying. um, those guys didn't have a massive presence on social media, but it was nice to have their support. and there were a lot of people that think that over the last few years i've had a lot of messages from people who have said in private to me, you know, we agree with everything you say, unfortunately, can't we agree with everything you say, out 1fortunately, can't we agree with everything you say, out because,ely, can't we agree with everything you say, out because, you can't we agree with everything you say, out because, you know,t speak out because, you know, i need a i need a to job pay the bills. >> can you name any of those people? matt >> i think that would be incredibly disingenuous of me to name those people. i think it would pretty unfair on them would be pretty unfair on them because hang because that would just hang them to dry. and that's not them out to dry. and that's not them out to dry. and that's not the of that i am. the kind of person that i am. i would not do to those would not do that to those people. um and it's, um, you know, it's just a fact of life,
3:52 am
you know, that these people are frightened for their futures and they don't want to jeopardise that. so they won't speak out. i've i've taken the decision that i feel that it's too important not to speak out. and if that means that i earn a lot less money now than i did three years ago, then so be it. i will just cut my cloth accordingly and still keep speaking out because i feel like it's the right to do . right thing to do. >> listen, i'm a huge fan >> listen, matt, i'm a huge fan of yours and i'm fascinated by what you have to say on twitter. i think you're incredibly courageous. you're courageous. i think you're a hero over again. on the hero all over again. once on the pitch now in the public pitch and now in the public sphere. those sphere. there are those that would that you talk would say that when you talk about kind of communist about this kind of communist style takeover, the idea of cultural marxism and the woke stuff or even world governments and a plan for world government, no property , that kind of thing. no property, that kind of thing. some people would say, you've lost the plot. how would you respond to that ? i i would say respond to that? i i would say to those people , it might have to those people, it might have been a good idea for you to go and look on the world economic
3:53 am
forum website, uh, three years ago and see what their plans were. were. >> were. >> and there's plenty of speeches that you can you can view where a lot of world leaders have spoken about a new world order and a one world government, that kind of government, all that kind of stuff. there's plenty stuff. so there's plenty of stuff. so there's plenty of stuff out there if you want to go and look if you can't go and look for it. if you can't be to go look for be bothered to go and look for it, if you can't be bothered to educate yourselves, then i suggest you you don't have a go at me. um, think it's quite at me. um, i think it's quite strange that that people are willing kind of have a go at willing to kind of have a go at you if they , if they haven't you if they, if they haven't decided to go and have a look at things for themselves. i've had a look at it. i've come to my own conclusions. all i ask is for people have a look for people to go and have a look at it. they might come to different conclusions to me and hey, that's absolutely fine, but don't at go don't be ignorant. at least go out and educate yourselves into what the possibility maybe what the possibility is maybe happening . okay? years in front happening. okay? years in front of us. and that's all i'd say to them. >> matt, matt, i've only got a couple of seconds, but some would know, new world would say, you know, new world order, you're going to own

4:05 am
has a negative approval rating. in a separate poll by red field and wilton strategies , he's and wilton strategies, he's especially turning off voters in the so—called blue wall 42 seats in the south of england that have traditionally always voted conservative tories in the shires gave him a dismal approval rating of minus eight. meanwhile sunak is being accused by some quarters of practically giving up as prime minister after dodging pmqs for the second week running. >> mr speaker, i'm glad to see the right honourable gentleman here today. i think i'm right in saying that i have the pleasure again next week, two weeks on the trot. they really have given up every day . up every day. >> so with rishi looking down and out and labour already running victory laps, should the embattled pm come out swinging? call keir starmer's bluff and sensationally call a snap election. baroness foster well, absolutely not. >> we've got an election coming up in 18 months. in any event, there's no reason to do that .
4:06 am
there's no reason to do that. but you're quite right to say things have been pretty difficult and what we need, frankly , is he has settled frankly, is he has settled certain things down. things were very up in the air with all these various leaders we had over the last 12 months. but what we need is to get back to what we need is to get back to what we're all about. i am a small state, low tax thatcherite, and that is what conservatives better change party then. well, what you have to do is you have to work on the inside and it's very easy on the outside when you think you can do all sorts of things without the responsibility. and i would like to see the chancellor and i'm repeating myself if start looking at our support. that's the middle earners. there are thousands more have crept into 40% top tax rate. we are not going to cure inflation by keeping corporation tax high, by taxing everybody to the hilt. thatis taxing everybody to the hilt. that is not the only instrument to use to deal with that. and
4:07 am
the sooner they see that, the better the entire supply chain. when you're looking at small and medium sized businesses, they are more than 80% of the engine of this economy. and they need to be looked after. the levels of vat that they're having to pay- of vat that they're having to pay. so there are things that you can do without being particularly drastic . particularly drastic. >> but at the moment, sunak looks like a hostage to fortune. and i think the tories trying to sort of essentially run down this parliament latest this parliament to the latest possible moment them look possible moment makes them look weak . he to the country weak. if he went to the country like in the next couple of months, it would be decisive kyiv he's owning the kyiv that he's owning the initiative again. >> , you don't need to >> well, no, you don't need to do that. we've got some by elections coming up. in any event, we know that. and i think six months or so is not going to make that much difference. and i think got to have a shot. think he's got to have a shot. he knows what we need. i mean, the you know, whether it's the red wall seats or the blue wall seats, we know of us know seats, we know most of us know what we need to do, what we have to what has to find to have, what rishi has to find

4:12 am
conservatives did this to themselves. >> he's getting ready to go back to malibu. >> does that mean you want laboun >> does that mean you want labour, though? because labour, though? no, because i think think the tories think i think the tories campaign be the campaign should be the following. basically four following. right basically four words we're not labour, words at least we're not labour, but i can't give party labour. >> mark. i cannot give the a party my vote simply because i believe labour will be worse at the end of the day, if they call a snap election now or in six months, they're getting annihilated. covid and we will have a government for the have a labour government for the next 15 years. that is the stark reality. >> it's not a matter of if, it's when they are, whenever it happens , they are finished. happens, they are finished. >> you've put smile >> you've put a smile on matthew's for first matthew's face for the first time. this particular time. this this particular show. listen, to have your listen, it's great to have your company. it's mark dolan in for dan this week and dan wootton for this week and next. for joining dan wootton for this week and next. forjoining us. next. thank you for joining us. coming up, as the wife of veterans mercer veterans minister johnny mercer slams carol vorderman other slams carol vorderman and other celebrity attack dogs for their incessant bashing are incessant tory bashing are hypocritical. lefties needlessly dividing britain. my superstar panel have plenty to say on carol. plus, more of tomorrow's
4:13 am
4:17 am
for dan wootton this week and next. >> lovely to have your company nana akua to the queen of gb news on the way. a shocking story . black only theatre story. black only theatre performance is that progress. and that's in uncanceled. but it's and that's in uncanceled. but wsfime and that's in uncanceled. but it's time now for the late princess diana's former butler and rock paul burrell. and according to a royal insider , according to a royal insider, meghan markle was, quote, knocked sideways and received a brutal reality check after she was dumped and labelled a grifter by the streaming giant spotify . and speaking to closer spotify. and speaking to closer magazine about how she'll respond to the pr crisis. the insider said her team have warned her that there's no future with harry and that she needs to start working on her individual project rather than be being seen as one half of brand sussex . they feel that if brand sussex. they feel that if meghan does more on her own, she'll have more opportunities to save her career . this follows to save her career. this follows reports that harry could go it alone to film a netflix docu mentary in africa. the continent where he and meghan famously
4:18 am
shared their third date . paul shared their third date. paul burrell, great to have you on the show, too, with both individuals pursuing solo projects , there's clearly projects, there's clearly trouble in paradise . trouble in paradise. >> well, mark, quite frankly, the bosses of netflix and spotify have given them a reality check because not everybody is interested in harry and meghan. >> and it's becoming quite clear now that their brand is suffering and they need to rebrand and survive . of meghan rebrand and survive. of meghan is a survivor and she is a very calculating woman and she's a networker. so what will she do next? i think personally that it's her turn. harry has done his book. he's been to the coronation and he's been seen across the world as a court case. it's now meghan's turn to get into the pole position. so she has to utilise the knowledge that she has in the film and
4:19 am
entertainment industry by being an actress in suits and go into the movies and the fashion and beauty industry. i think . but beauty industry. i think. but it's a sad truth that they had the world at their feet five years ago and now it seems to be slipping away from them. i personally think that they should get off their backsides and do something for other people instead of always doing things for themselves. look at kate and william. they are doing their public duty brilliantly , their public duty brilliantly, and if only they could be a shadow of kate and william and go back to africa and help people who have nothing, then i think they would gain some respect in the world. but quite frankly, right now , people frankly, right now, people aren't particularly bothered . aren't particularly bothered. and it's meghan's way and harry's way and it's their truth that matters most. and i think,
4:20 am
you know, it's time to reassess the situation . the situation. >> meghan markle has a long history of dumping people who have served their purpose . her have served their purpose. her ex—husband, her first husband, piers morgan, lizzie cundy, even her own father , thomas markle. her own father, thomas markle. do you think eventually she'll do that to old harry? >> well, do you know what mark? my belief is that this is all going to end in tears. i do believe that eventually harry will have served his purpose and meghan will move on because she has before. and she'll probably move on to a billionaire next time round who can support her in the lifestyle to which she's accustomed already . she already accustomed already. she already has two children who are prince and princess, so harry should look very closely at this and think, well , what's look very closely at this and think, well, what's going to happen to me next? and i honestly think that the british people would welcome harry back. and certainly his brother would, and that would actually solve
4:21 am
the situation . and the rift the situation. and the rift which has grown between harry and william. but if harry comes back to britain, he'll certainly be coming alone, because i don't think that the british people are ready to welcome meghan back i >> -- >> how lam >> how long do you give the couple? well, i always thought about ten years. >> and i think it's a sad indictment that we're all saying, oh , that's not going to saying, oh, that's not going to last. and but that's just, you know, it's only harry that doesn't know this. everybody else really misses that. this is going to end in tears. but harry's the last person that's actually going to know this . and actually going to know this. and the sadness is, of course , he'll the sadness is, of course, he'll have to leave his children behind because they'll stay with their mother. but there will always be a place in william's heart for his brother. their mother would be devastated to think that there was such a rift growing between those two boys because those two boys were joined at the hip. and i don't want to see harry with his heart
4:22 am
broken again. but i do think it's inevitable . it's inevitable. >> so now paul , it's inevitable. >> so now paul, on this very show, the mail on sunday's editor at large charlotte griffiths, gave a bombshell revelation about prince william dunng revelation about prince william during the time of harry and meghan's infamous oprah interview . take a look. interview. take a look. >> the lead up to that oprah interview, william was quite literally sick with worry . literally sick with worry. >> he was not eating. he became kind of not reclusive, but he definitely was hiding away. he'd gone to a royal residence for a penod gone to a royal residence for a period of time to just cut himself off from the world. and he was just in bits basically . he was just in bits basically. >> of course, since then, william and harry have been at war and jennie bond, a former royal correspondent who met princess diana many times before her death , has said diana would her death, has said diana would be the only person who could fix the rift between her sons . paul, the rift between her sons. paul, it's terrible to hear those anecdotes about what william has been through. you know, reduced to tears in bits. are you surprised by just how painful it's been for william, a young
4:23 am
man that you know so well? no i'm not, because those two boys were very, very close, inseparable at one stage. >> and along came meghan . and >> and along came meghan. and then it changed. jenny's quite right . jenny did meet the right. jenny did meet the princess on several occasions. and jenny's right in saying that it's only diana that could have actually pulled them back together again. and i think this this relationship, i think the boys themselves, their relationship is irreparable. i don't think it's going to be mended any time soon because there's been far too much hurt. and harry has thrown his entire family under the bus. he's thrown grenades into the heart of the house of windsor, and they they don't want to forgive him because he's caused a lot of distress to his brother, to his father , to his sister in law . father, to his sister in law. and if they invite harry and meghan back into their fold,
4:24 am
it'll only give them more stories to write about and to tell in in america, because let's let's just get down to the nitty gritty, because meghan and harry, their biggest usp is being royal. and unless they have royal news to spread , what have royal news to spread, what else have they got ? oh, there we. >> we. >> we lost paul burrell. paul thank you so much for joining us. princess diana's former butler . us. princess diana's former butler. coming up next, actually later this hour, england cancelled with woke theatres running controversial black audience only performances and whacking trigger warnings on the sound of music are the arts in britain being ruined by the extreme left? gb news star nana akua gives her verdict later this hour . akua gives her verdict later this hour. but next in the media, buzz with the wife of veterans minister johnny mercer furious at carole waldman and other celebrity attack dogs for spreading hate against their political adversaries are hypocritical lefties corroding

saying you are. >> well, gb news star nana akua has out at the segregated has lashed out at the segregated performance and slammed organisers quote , the organisers for using quote, the language apartheid . acas and language of apartheid. acas and nana joins me now. nana, language of apartheid. acas and nana joins me now . nana, great nana joins me now. nana, great to see you all of this is rooted in an idea called critical race theory . can you give us theory. can you give us a flavour of what that actually means and why it's so controversial ? people on means and why it's so controversial ? people oh god, controversial? people oh god, where do i start with it? >> well, i mean, it's a nonsense idea, ideology that would suggest that black people you need to be aware of the person's race and then you must understand their race. so things like white privilege will come out as a result of that, which gives the assumption that white people are initially privileged already because of the colour of their skin . and therefore they their skin. and therefore they need to acknowledge that and therefore a way understand therefore in a way understand that black people will feel persecuted issue with persecuted and have issue with critical race theory on many levels. but obviously the one the problem i have with this whole ideology is that ultimately it kind of just it
4:46 am
means the black person is the victim. ultimately it's a victimhood mentality . and for victimhood mentality. and for that, i find it most offensive because i don't think i'm a victim. i don't believe i should immediately think i'm a victim just because of the colour of my skin. it puts me on the back foot gives the idea foot and it also gives the idea that somebody privileged that somebody is privileged by me accepting the narrative that i am a victim. and that's not acceptable by any chalk. nana some would argue that you just can't be racist to white people i >> -- >> do they have a point ? >> do they have a point? >> do they have a point? >> you can be racist to anybody. black people can be racist towards even each other and white people can be racist towards each other as well as we've seen. i mean, if you look at somehow some sometimes in scotland you've got the snp and some of the way that nicola sturgeon as some of the members of party, may speak towards of her party, may speak towards people are english, they're people who are english, they're both but yet both the same colour, but yet they as they're they act as though they're a different ultimately we different races. ultimately we are all one race, which is the human so the idea of human race. so the idea of racism actually it's
4:47 am
racism is actually it's something that's been created andifs something that's been created and it's just divisive . there's and it's just divisive. there's no real reason to it and there's no real reason to it and there's no you don't really know what i am like just because i'm black. it doesn't mean that i'm going to follow any narrative that's been anything that been set aside. anything that suggests that i behave in a certain because of certain way because of the colour is simply a colour of my skin is simply a stereotype and doesn't reflect anything that i have learned or that i know. so i find it offensive that this particular performance would decide that because you are a different colour, you shouldn't shouldn't come in and that's just for one day only though. so it's okay. it isn't okay because it sets a very, very bad precedent because if you can do it one way for one day, you can do it the other way round. and i kind of feel that those very people would take deep offence if you said a white only for one day only that only event for one day only that would not acceptable. well agree. >> it's like martin luther king never happened. nana. i've got a shocking story for you and it's going to be really hard to repeat this anecdote. but our brilliant reporter , ben leo, who
4:48 am
brilliant reporter, ben leo, who was out and about just, you know, at this particular performance of a of a black only show. and he actually pointed out your criticisms of this performance to the people at the event. and one of them said, well, nana akua is not a real black person because of her views . views. >> well, you see, that's ironic , isn't it, that suddenly the colour of my skin is no longer relevant when it comes to my views, but yet i would be allowed into the theatre performance because i'm black . performance because i'm black. it's just nonsense, really . it's just a nonsense, really. there is no such thing as a set type of behaviour for a black person and actually the fact that they've made a judgement based on the colour skin based on the colour of my skin is exactly said before. is exactly what i said before. black being racist black people being racist towards black people. the amount of a of times i've been called a coconut because i'm supposedly meant to think certain meant to think a certain way because of my skin because of the colour of my skin and have a narrowed or and because i have a narrowed or veered off the path or come out of my lane in their view, i'm no longer a black person and that has stop because that is a has to stop because that is a pure judgement based on what you
4:49 am
think i be doing because think i should be doing because of the colour of my skin. and i find it absurd. i don't at find it absurd. i don't look at a person and think, on a white person and think, on well must think this, this well you must think this, this and this and you're going to say that, and you will that, that and that and you will see things this way because of the colour your skin. it's the colour of your skin. it's absolutely ridiculous as we absolutely ridiculous, as we would wouldn't we? absolutely ridiculous, as we wotnana wouldn't we? absolutely ridiculous, as we wotnana for wouldn't we? absolutely ridiculous, as we woi nana for women ouldn't we? absolutely ridiculous, as we wotnana for women only1't we? absolutely ridiculous, as we wotnana for women only spaces, >> nana for women only spaces, female only spaces and perhaps even men only spaces . so what's even men only spaces. so what's different about a black only space? >> well , i space? >> well, i mean, one is based on the strength. so the reason why these spaces are divided initially is because women are very vulnerable when it comes to men. if you look at the murders and the rapes and the things, it's mostly the majority of it is men on women. so that's with regard women's safety. regard to women's safety. doesn't colour you regard to women's safety. doewith colour you regard to women's safety. doewith regard colour you regard to women's safety. doewith regard to colour you regard to women's safety. doewith regard to thatylour you regard to women's safety. doewith regard to that division| are with regard to that division , and that's because of an actual that is there, that actual thing that is there, that is a general thing that men are just stronger than women and the majority of murders and rapes and so on and so forth are
4:50 am
perpetuated by men towards women . so that's why it's done like that, to protect women. not all men violent, but men are going to be violent, but it's way of protecting women. it's a way of protecting women. this nothing in it that this there is nothing in it that would suggest you can't tell if i'm be an aggressive i'm going to be an aggressive black a very gentle black person or a very gentle one, just because i'm you know, i'm a different it means i'm a different colour. it means nothing . nothing. >> nana in another example of the world of theatre going completely mad, have you seen this story? chichester festival completely mad, have you seen thiwest y? chichester festival completely mad, have you seen thiwest sussexhester festival completely mad, have you seen thiwest sussex is ster festival completely mad, have you seen thiwest sussex is givingstival completely mad, have you seen thiwest sussex is giving trigger in west sussex is giving trigger warnings to audience members of the sound of music because there's in it. the world's the sound of music because there's in it . the world's gone there's in it. the world's gone mad . well blow me down. mad. well blow me down. >> i mean, it was set in that era anyway, so why would you need to be warned? i mean, i was reading about it and one of the rabbis said, it's just so patronising that you think that people are so that they people are so weak that they will by a particular will be offended by a particular production is set in that production that is set in that era and be offended to find that it's in that era . i mean, if you it's in that era. i mean, if you don't like the sound of music or that would you , then you that would offend you, then you just don't buy the ticket and
