concerns for the unesco world heritage site junior doctors in england have said they're in it for the long run. on day two of their five day strike. that's despite the government's offer of a 6% pay rise, which the prime minister says is the final offer. the british medical association says more strikes are possible . they want an offer are possible. they want an offer closer to the 12.4% given to junior doctors in scotland . junior doctors in scotland. meanwhile, all four teaching unions have called for their strikes to be cancelled, saying members should accept the 6.5% pay members should accept the 6.5% pay rise. they've been offered. the education secretary, gillian keegan, told gb news just how it's going to be funded. the treasury, what they usually do with departments is any spend that you don't get, you don't make . make. >> so if your forecast is too high or you you don't deliver as quickly as you thought and all of those underspends, they always go back to the treasury and then they reprioritise it on behalf of the government. but in

this case they've permitted us to keep those underspend. so what i've been doing is going through line by line every bit of the budget , looking at the of the budget, looking at the forecast, looking at the programmes we could maybe programmes that we could maybe we yet, we could we haven't started yet, we could slow that's how we've slow down and that's how we've done to . done it to. >> british men have been sentenced for smuggling seven indian including women indian migrants, including women and children, into the uk and the of cars. one man who the boots of cars. one man who was stopped in dover in 2018 has been given three and a half years for assisting unlawful immigration. three indian nationals claiming to be afghan sikhs were found in the boot of his car. his his his hire car. his his co—accused, who had four indian nationals and his , has been nationals and his, has been jailed for three years and two months also for assisting unlawful immigration . almost unlawful immigration. almost 1000 workers at gatwick airport, including baggage handlers and check in staff, will stage eight days of strikes later this month. unite union says there because of ongoing pay disputes , workers will walk out for four

south pole. this is gb news. we bnng south pole. this is gb news. we bring you more as it happens. now, though, it's back over to . patrick >> welcome along. and we start with great news for campaigners fighting to stop thousands of migrants being housed at raf bases in essex and lincolnshire . they've won the battle to get a judicial review into the home office's decision. 46 migrants have already been moved into raf wethersfield , where we will be wethersfield, where we will be going to very, very shortly with the former home secretary priti patel, by the way. so make sure you stay tuned for that. now that has plans for 1700 men to be there by the autumn. now, 2000 men are due to be placed at raf scampton, which was , of raf scampton, which was, of course, the famous home of the dambusters. look for the latest on what's been going on in court. really. i'm going to go to mark white now. he's our home and security editor. he's

outside the royal courts of justice. yes. okay mark, so i mean, victory part at mean, a victory in part at least. what's exactly happened here? >> well , i here? >> well, i think certainly a positive development isn't nor victory as such, because, of course, we have to have now that full judicial review into what the councils in essex and in lincolnshire are arguing is the case. they believe that the government has overreached in a sense using class to the rule that allows them in extremis to over rule these local planning permissions . and as long as it's permissions. and as long as it's government owned land such as ministry of defence base , they ministry of defence base, they can use that in this case to house asylum seekers to deal with that national emergency. how long is a national emergency is an issue that they want to get into as well. is it 12 months? they believe they've seen documents pointing to two,

three, even five years. does that still constitute then a national emergency at and really the power here to use this particular law, this class queue rule for overruling these planning permissions? so as i say, it's one step up on the way to this judicial review. now, let's see how that goes . but let's see how that goes. but you're right to point out that just two days ago, surprisingly , we got the revelation from court , then confirmed from the court, then confirmed from the government that 46 asylum seekers , young males, have seekers, young males, have already been put into this base, although we have not yet reached the end of the road in terms of the end of the road in terms of the legal case, absolutely . the legal case, absolutely. >> mark, thank you very, very much. mark white there outside a very wet and windy royal courts of justice. well, i'm absolute thrilled to say that joining me now is the former home secretary and the member of parliament for witham. it is the one and only priti patel. thank you very much for joining to have

forjoining me. great to have you on show. and thank you you on the show. and thank you very much for standing out in the rain for us as well. look, you're initial reaction to this announcement judicial you're initial reaction to this annourthen. nt judicial you're initial reaction to this annourthen. well judicial you're initial reaction to this annourthen. well i judicial you're initial reaction to this annourthen. well i think,al you're initial reaction to this annourthen. well i think, first review then. well i think, first of all, my local authority , the of all, my local authority, the braintree district council, have worked in incredibly hard and all credit to them and their legal counsel for getting us to where are with this judicial review. >> it's important that local people and our local councils and statutory service bodies, that their voices are heard. to be quite frank , we feel that be quite frank, we feel that we've been ridden roughshod over basically local community basically as a local community and district with central and as a district with central government's approach and the decision making that they have taken . and it feels incredibly taken. and it feels incredibly unaccountable, very opaque . and unaccountable, very opaque. and thatis unaccountable, very opaque. and that is why local communities here in mid essex and my constituents and my local council are very, very unhappy. but this next step is important because , as you've already heard because, as you've already heard from mark, this will actually start to question the planning assumptions. the class q regulations, which is effective

acting as an authoritarian type regulation, to say to local councils, we know best, we know better than you and we're just going to make these planning decisions with utter disregard for local communities. so that's the main aspect it . and then the main aspect to it. and then of there's no of course, there's been no impact nothing impact assessment, nothing put out the public domain. and out in the public domain. and there are all sorts of environmental mental considerations, which i can tell you, having just into you, having just been into wethersfield and taught wethersfield and tools taught the well. there a the site as well. there are a range of issues there that, quite frankly , you know, will be quite frankly, you know, will be deeply challenging. if 1700 asylum seekers do come and live here. >> now that is fascinating. so you have just been in there. you've had a look round, you've inspected the site. and as far as we're aware, 46 people were moved in quite surprisingly a couple of days ago. so could you talk us through what the site is like and what potential issues that there are from your own experience ? experience? >> well, first of all, it is an extraordinary site. it's enormous because of obviously the history of the site , what it the history of the site, what it was used for , you know, in terms

was used for, you know, in terms of it once being an american base. so there are lots of physical and logistical challenges here. number one, the site is so big that actually the home office and it is the home office , they are spending vast office, they are spending vast sums of money just literally fencing off huge parts of this base because clearly they do not want the individuals that are here, the asylum seekers going off wandering and, you know, ending up halfway up a runway or somewhere else. and they're trying to basically keep people as concentrated as they possibly can in key residential and communal areas . i think it's communal areas. i think it's also important just to emphasise that there's only one residential block open right now. others are being developed. so that means money is being spent on them. in terms of, you know, putting new roofs in, new furnishings, new bathrooms , furnishings, new bathrooms, rooms, new carpet, all this kind of stuff. some of these blocks were condemned previously, so not fit to live in. and, of course, the home office has

undertaken a massive obligation on and a massive financial investment to turn these blocks around, to make them okay for, you know , asylum seekers to come you know, asylum seekers to come and stay in basically to make them habitable . i've also been them habitable. i've also been into the catering areas. i've had a look around and i think it's really important to understand that, you know, the home office is their role is effectively to bring in subcontractors to provide services. so there's a massive catering company that has been brought to in be here on site with their staff to obviously provide meals . there's also provide meals. there's also a medical facility here which, by the way, is a private facility . the way, is a private facility. it's not the local nhs , but, you it's not the local nhs, but, you know, we're still talking about potentially the home office. are paying potentially the home office. are paying for that. but it is a facility that i've ionically the local nhs has been told to pay for and they are refusing to pay for and they are refusing to pay for that. nhs facility, the medical facility in provision here because of course it means money from their budget . yeah.

money from their budget. yeah. which would mean money would go from local communities for nhs services to come straight here. >> wow. i mean it's there's some quite shocking revelations there , i must say. certainly when it comes to the nhs budget, a lot of local residents i was talking to a lovely lady who was stunning exactly where you are standing actually yesterday standing now. actually yesterday day to me, look, day she was saying to me, look, she's afraid really, she's just afraid really, of this of 1700 men descending this idea of 1700 men descending onto the area. will she be safe to go out at night to walk her dogs?i to go out at night to walk her dogs? i mean, the safety aspect of this must be a massive concern . so you're absolutely concern. so you're absolutely right . right. >> and, you know, i do actually want to pay tribute to the local residents here in wethersfield. i think they've been incredible . and i really do. i met i met a couple of local residents as i was coming here this afternoon soon. and, you know , it's our soon. and, you know, it's our job as members of parliament and local representatives to effectively listen to them and do our utmost to do the job of representation for them, which is clearly what i as one of the

neighbouring mps in the district, the other district mp, are doing . but these are are doing. but these are legitimate concerns that they are raising. i think it's important also to reflect upon something else that clearly when you look around this site, you know, the home office has spent a lot of money building fences and things that nature, but and things of that nature, but these individuals are free to come and go . so there are come and go. so there are shuttle buses daily taking them and the individuals can go to braintree town, they can go to colchester city and they can go to chelmsford city. so with that, of course, you know, there are absolute concerns now about people not returning, people absconding. the prospects of these individuals when they go to neighbouring towns and neighbouring cities. we have two cities either side of us, which is colchester and chelmsford , is colchester and chelmsford, and the implications that will have for funny enough, we've just seen one of the mini buses pull away and these are the shuttle buses that are going to these local local towns and

cities. >> oh, wow. okay. look, i appreciate you standing out in the rain, so i won't keep you too much longer. but i have got too much longer. but i have got to ask what would what would to ask what would you what would you done as secretary you have done as home secretary if if you were still in if you were if you were still in post now? what be post now? what would be different under pretty so quite quite lot. quite a lot. >> and you know, people love to airbrush the past and new governments come and that governments come in and do that and ministers that all the and ministers do that all the time. don't forget the time. but don't forget the government when i was at government policy. when i was at the office was based upon the home office was based upon the home office was based upon the new plan for immigration , the new plan for immigration, which very firm but also which was very firm but also fair in terms of fair to british taxpayers . and the firmness was taxpayers. and the firmness was basically we were committed to building what i call greek style reception centres, which had detained facilities as well as non—detained, where we could basically keep those that come to our country illegally , to our country illegally, basically in these facilities where they could effectively have their asylum cases processed. and if their cases failed, they're going to the detained facilities and then of course, if they were from

countries where we could remove them to them, we have the government has lots of tools. actually, they have many returns agreements countries, some agreements with countries, some of that these of which i set up that these individuals would removed individuals would be removed back countries. but back to those countries. but secondly , don't forget, the secondly, don't forget, the rwanda policy is my policy. that and obviously from boris johnson as prime minister during his tenure, that policy was designed to remove people that have no rights, legal right to stay in our country, to rwanda so that they could resettle and rebuild their lives there . and that was their lives there. and that was exactly the point of basically having detained facilities in reception centres. patrick you'll also know that i was looking to put in a temporary facility last year in linton on ouse , not actually not too ouse, not actually not too dissimilar to well, a much smaller scale than wethersfield, but a disused raf base where we could actually help to detain people before they were removed to rwanda . and that was to rwanda. and that was basically the plans that we had. now, obviously , governments have now, obviously, governments have come and gone. i chose to leave

the government because of all the government because of all the shenanigans that took place. quite frankly, last year with my parliamentary colleagues. but you know, we laid the foundations and i think one of the worries and the problems that we have and i think the british public, you know, inevitably be concerned inevitably will be concerned about that can't about this, is that you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. we have laws in place, and borders bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you and borders bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you know, and borders bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you know, weand borders bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you know, we have orders bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you know, we have the rs bathwater. we have laws in plac�*you know, we have the new act. you know, we have the new plan immigration in place. plan for immigration in place. you for years to you know, we work for years to get those policies in and get those policies in place and that legislation place , you that legislation in place, you can't just discard it and try to supersede it with new policies. and is also ticking and the clock is also ticking because the public are so tired of what going on with illegal of what is going on with illegal migration. ian and linked to that, of course we should be utilising our removals policies much sends in people either much more sends in people either back to their home countries or removing them to rwanda . and removing them to rwanda. and when i set up that rwanda policy, of course, as the high court ruled last year through the legal case that i'd put together, that was a lawful policy. see, been policy. see, now it's been deemed well in recent

deemed unlawful well in recent weeks, and the government's now got make sure that it goes got to make sure that it goes back and does a lot more work. and will. think it will win and it will. i think it will win in courts, it has to be in the courts, but it has to be very diligent as to how it presents its case back in court again. look christie, thank you very, much, especially for very, very much, especially for standing so for standing out there for so for long, us hanging around long, us and hanging around a little bit. >> we appreciate it. and >> we really appreciate it. and it's to have someone it's great to have had someone on with your expertise on not just with your expertise to you. thank you, to talk to you. thank you, government, go and government, but also to go and have look at the site, have a look at the site, brazier. take care. priti patel there, of course, former home secretary a member of parliament for you make of for witham. what do you make of that? the views that? i imagine the views will come flying in touch come flying and get in touch right views at gb news. right now. gb views at gb news. made.com on this made.com loads more on this story website. gb news story on our website. gb news dot com fastest growing national news website in the country. don't know? and all don't you know? and it's got all the best analysis, opinion the best analysis, big opinion and news and the latest breaking news but and the latest breaking news but a little later i will discuss a little later on i will discuss the that's revealed that the report that's revealed that people pulling people are resorting to pulling their out because they people are resorting to pulling their afford out because they people are resorting to pulling their afford to out because they people are resorting to pulling their afford to visit because they people are resorting to pulling their afford to visit the ause they can't afford to visit the dentist. but first, it's your weather. >> the temperatures rising, boxt solar proud sponsors of weather

sector workers a pay increase of up to 7% to stave off further strike action. we're going be strike action. we're going to be picking apart throughout picking this apart throughout the today. the course of the show today. we're to going look the we're to going look at the medical profession, teachers we're to going look at the medasl profession, teachers we're to going look at the medasl prothe on, teachers we're to going look at the medasl prothe militaryteachers we're to going look at the medasl prothe military and|ers we're to going look at the medasl prothe military and our and as well the military and our police to areas where police force to areas where they're to go on they're not allowed to go on strike. any pay rises strike. but any pay rises over 3.5. we'll come out of 3.5. we'll have to come out of existing departmental budgets. it comes as junior doctors staged a five day walkout with nhs waiting lists hitting another record high. this is the other component, isn't it? record high waiting list, 7.47 million people. but with high inflation, how will we pay for this? can we afford it? gb news is business and economics editor liam halligan joins me now with on money . can we afford this ? >> well, 7- >> well, i 7— >> well, i don't ? >> well, i don't think we 7 >> well, i don't think we can afford these strikes to carry on because strikes themselves are extremely damaging, not just the hassle , the loss of life. i mean hassle, the loss of life. i mean , 7-4, hassle, the loss of life. i mean , 7.4, 7 million people on an nhs waiting list. >> absolutely. as punishing. and

so i think rishi sunak yesterday tried to draw a line under these strikes. and as we come into these triple by—election days next week, yeah . and say, look, next week, yeah. and say, look, we're really trying to solve these strikes and trying to say what if labour got to say, are they going to help us solve these strikes? are they going to push for the unions to now make peace? let's have a look at some of the numbers because there was a real slew of numbers yesterday and we've just been digesting them the newsroom, haven't them in the newsroom, haven't we? public sector them in the newsroom, haven't we? awards. public sector pay awards. >> a fifth us overall >> about a fifth of us overall work the public sector. there work in the public sector. there they are up on the screen for gb news viewers, teachers have been awarded news viewers, teachers have been awethese are in line with the >> these are in line with the pay >> these are in line with the pay review bodies. the kind of independent junior independent arbiter, junior doctors plus. they get doctors get 6% plus. they get a one off £1,250. that's just in one off £1,250. that's just in one year. >> and that adds up to, on average, a 9% pay rise. >> nhs consultants, more senior doctors , 6% police and prison doctors, 6% police and prison officers getting the same 7, and armed forces 5% and a one off

£1,000, 5.5% for the office of class. old boy . class. old boy. >> oh yes , i did for that in the graphic. >> yeah. and then those civil servants who are included in this pay round get 5.5. now you'll notice , patrick, that all you'll notice, patrick, that all those numbers, because i know you're good at maths. thank you are less than 8.7. they are an 8.7% is inflation. the current rate of inflation good man. >> cheers, mate. that was a gamble. that was a gamble. i got it right. >> we didn't even rehearse that. no, we never rehearsed anything. so look, 8.7% is the current rate of inflation. i think that's i think it will that's for may. i think it will be the june number will be lower and the government will try and say, yeah, over the coming say, yeah, but over the coming yean say, yeah, but over the coming year, inflation going to be year, inflation is going to be less 8.7. it's going to less than 8.7. it's going to average or 6. but average more like 5 or 6. but still we've just had 8.7% inflation. we had 11.1% inflation. we had 11.1% inflation last autumn. so clearly all these numbers are less than the basic rate of inflation. so of course , all inflation. so of course, all these numbers are, i'm afraid , these numbers are, i'm afraid, real terms, pay cuts , but some real terms, pay cuts, but some pay real terms, pay cuts, but some pay rises better than no pay rises. >> i wonder whether or not this

is actually relatively clever politics from the government because they've strung this one out long enough for that whopping great big inflation rate go down a bit. it's now rate to go down a bit. it's now expected go down even further expected to go down even further and in line with and they've done it in line with this independent pay body review . say, well , look, . so they can say, well, look, this is actually what the experts telling give you. experts telling us to give you. and can also not now suffer and they can also not now suffer that argument of, well, inflation is 11. >> think there's something in >> i think there's something in that. also being , you that. i also think being, you know, long in tooth know, the long in the tooth journalists that i think journalists that i am, i think there's an element of i'm not saying the government wants these strikes , but the these strikes, but the government knows that these strikes make labour very, very uncomfortable because labour can't oh , why are you can't say, oh, why are you striking public sector unions? because they've got loads of money public sector money off the public sector unions of the labour unions because of the labour party. their democratic party. it's their democratic right, have right, but obviously they have big union paymasters. but i think now the government is going in line with the independent pay review body as you try look even you say, to try and look even handed professional. and handed and professional. and then of that, now they're then on top of that, now they're saying, i know whether saying, i don't know whether they deliver this, they can actually deliver this,

that going borrow that they're not going to borrow more implement these more money to implement these pay more money to implement these pay which will pay increases, which will probably about £3 billion, probably cost about £3 billion, which about half a pe on the which is about half a pe on the bafic which is about half a pe on the basic rate of income tax. that's what kind of money we're talking about. huge of about. so not huge amounts of money. government spends money. the government spends eight £900 billion a year. this is 3 billion. it's a rounding error. if it goes well , it's error. if it goes well, it's a big problem. if it doesn't go well and it has to borrow that money because of course, the government's paying more now to borrow money than any point borrow money than at any point since the 2008 financial crisis. that interest bill on government debtis that interest bill on government debt is spiking upwards. >> is spiking. just >> well, it is spiking. just just quickly, one last one, which is terms of our police which is in terms of our police force and our are not force and our military are not allowed strike. allowed to strike. >> allowed to strike. >> the military side of things have which i believe was have got 5, which i believe was the lowest percentage pay the lowest percentage of pay rise. i just wonder rise. there and i just wonder whether fair. whether that's fair. >> that's a value >> well, that's a value judgement for ministers, isn't it? i'd like to see our boys and girls in the armed forces get more money. i'd like to see more money put into the military as a whole. but know, it's the

whole. but you know, it's the school of hard knocks. most people go into army in people don't go into the army in any army, navy and air any force army, navy and air force for the money. they go in because have a vocation and because they have a vocation and as they see it, a duty to serve. and thank god they're there. >> god they aren't. thank >> thank god they aren't. thank thank liam halligan thank god for you. liam halligan there. and there. our economics and business loads more business editor write loads more to between now p.m. to come between now and 4 pm. we'll have details of an alarming that's revealed alarming report that's revealed that are. yes, that some people are. yes, pulled own teeth out pulled their own teeth out because too much to see because it costs too much to see a or they access a dentist or they can't access one but right now it is one as well. but right now it is your latest headlines with . rihanna >> patrick, thank you. good afternoon. it's 332. your top stories from the newsroom . and stories from the newsroom. and we start with some breaking news just in. former manchester city footballer benjamin mendy has been found not guilty of rape and attempted rape at chester crown court . the france crown court. the france international is accused of raping a 24 year old woman at his mansion in cheshire in october 2020. he was also

has called for urgent and fundamental reform and said there evidence pain and there was evidence of pain and distress. that is totally unacceptable. people in the 21st century. let's go through the findings, shall we, of this committee's report so 10% of those surveyed said they'd done diy dentist , those surveyed said they'd done diy dentist, including removing their own teeth . 22% of people their own teeth. 22% of people are not registered with a dentist. actually, i think possibly myself included. now i've said that, but 23% cannot afford to get proper dental treatment. joining me now to discuss this is the chair of the british dental association. it's eddie crouch. eddie, thank you very much . this is quite very much. this is quite reading. i mean, how do you respond to people having to pull their own teeth out ? their own teeth out? >> well, you're right. it's absolutely shocking. and i, i was there at the health select committee when patient groups were there giving that evidence to this committee . and it really to this committee. and it really is shocking. doesn't surprise me, because i've been hearing stories like this for quite a few years now. >> but what is good is this report actually gives a manual to save nhs dentistry for

ministers and the government and that can only be positive, but it can only be positive if they actually do act on the recommendations of this report. >> so just talk me through why we are in this situation. okay, so i was under the impression that dentists earned quite a lot of money. therefore i wouldn't have thought that there would be a shortage of people wanting to be a dentist like we might have with nurses. this with nhs nurses. so why is this situation rearing its head ? situation rearing its head? >> well, you know, we're talking about a health select committee report today . about a health select committee report today. i about a health select committee report today . i gave evidence 15 report today. i gave evidence 15 years ago to the last health select committee that dealt with dentistry and they made recommendations for urgent reform. then and here we are 15 years later and we're still not any closer to getting those reforms. most of my colleagues now have given up hope that there will be reform and what we're seeing is many people not taking industrial action in dentistry , but simply walking dentistry, but simply walking

away from the nhs . and that in away from the nhs. and that in itself is a bad thing because they're not likely to come back again. and this report details that that unless something is done fairly urgently , our done fairly urgently, our workforce regarding nhs dentistry is diminishing as we speak. >> so basically dentists i'm paraphrasing here, but presumably dentists are paid a lot less to work for the nhs and have maybe less freedom over what they can do and presumably maybe a bit less freedom . i know maybe a bit less freedom. i know a lot of dentists, for example, who do aesthetic as well, so maybe there's a lot less of that on the nhs. so they leave, they go private, they do what they want. they buy themselves a rolls—royce in rolls—royce and a villa in majorca. within few years majorca. within a few years time, any would, time, like any of us would, frankly. so the solution what time, like any of us would, fran nhs'>o the solution what time, like any of us would, fran nhs dentists lution what time, like any of us would, fran nhs dentists more what time, like any of us would, fran nhs dentists more partly,t yeah. >> i mean, or to have an honest conversation with the public because, you know, in my two and a half years as chair of the bda, i've met five ministers was responsible for dentistry. and that in itself is a problem because they're never there long enough to do anything but if we

are not to invest any more money into the dental service and it's one area of the health service that's seen a net reduction in the last decade, the only part of the nhs that hasn't had increased funding . and if we are increased funding. and if we are to stick with the current budget, then we have to have an honest conversation with the pubuc honest conversation with the public out there about what sort of service is to be of dental service is going to be available them on the available for them on the national health service. now indeed. >> now look, our dentists profiteering a little bit. how much does it really cost for you to a white on, put your to put a white coat on, put your goggles on, get a set of pliers and pull a monkey out? and pull a monkey tooth out? come on. >> well , come on. >> well, yeah. i mean , dentists >> well, yeah. i mean, dentists are qualifying with massive , are qualifying with massive, massive debt from from dental school . the running costs of any school. the running costs of any business have gone up. the heating, the lighting, the wages , everything has gone up. and yet we're getting below inflation uplifts to contracts . inflation uplifts to contracts. so the cost , sadly for many

so the cost, sadly for many people providing nhs dental services is only possible because they cross subsidising it from private work that they're doing to continue that service. it doesn't allow them to invest in their premises or invest in training of their staff . with the current nhs staff. with the current nhs system . so yes , people are system. so yes, people are leaving the nhs , they're not leaving the nhs, they're not actually leaving the nhs for more money, they're leaving the nhs because they'll see fewer patients and they'll provide a different quality of care for their patients. okay yeah, but you could argue, look, a better life, i suppose. >> really. but it's not a better life for those poor people who are now like some people who've been i've been quite surprised by the to this. i must by the response to this. i must say. a&e actually the inbox, say. a&e actually in the inbox, people in touch to say i people getting in touch to say i have genuinely had to pull my own out as result of own teeth out as a result of this. it's incredibly debilitating it debilitating because it obviously everything. obviously affects everything. a constant aching pain. it makes you stop you eating you miserable, stop you eating stuff, some stuff, presumably with some sensitivity as well, whether you dnnk sensitivity as well, whether you drink that's hot drink something that's too hot or too cold. i mean, it will

affect absolutely everything. so, very much so, look, thank you very much for coming on. but i'll tell you what, tell you what what, i'll tell you what actually, ask actually, i probably should ask this question, this quite burning question, which recommendations. which is the recommendations. then that you were then that you said you were putting forward 15 years ago. i mean, look, just us with a mean, look, just hit us with a quick bullet point what quick bullet point list of what needs be done so people out needs to be done so people out there right now who are frankly eating a can know eating through a straw can know that there is some light at the end the tunnel. end of the tunnel. >> well, some honesty >> well, i think some honesty that one's just be honest with them about the fact that it's never going to be all right. but but obviously, it needs an increase in funding. it needs an increase in funding. it needs an increase in funding. it needs an increase in terms and conditions to attract people to work in the system , because at the moment, system, because at the moment, the current contract is driving dentists away from it. and that has to change. >> okay. look, eddie, thank you very much and good luck to you as well. eddie crouch, who is the chair of the british dental association nation. i hope everyone's all right there. i mean, i liked eddie. i thought

eddie was a nice guy. i've got to be honest with you. the upshot of that conversation, as far as i can tell, is that there isn't much hope. if you want to try to get a dentist on the nhs. and if you can't afford to go private, quite possibly are private, you quite possibly are going your own going to have to pull your own teeth and we just need to teeth out. and we just need to be honest about that. so no grief, well gb views or grief, right? well gb views or gbnews.com. happy friday. gb news.com. happy friday. hollywood actors have gone on strike. because strike. there we go. because meghan has been on strike meghan markle has been on strike for years. no, because they've worried threat of worried about the threat of artificial and artificial intelligence. and i am asking today, could i make yourjob redundant ? now, you yourjob redundant? now, you wouldn't believe this. so apparently some hollywood actors have signed contracts. that gives the company, the production company rights to their likeness , their physical their likeness, their physical likeness, which they can replicate with al forever. so they just film one thing with them and then they can mould them. it is quite literally something out of black mirror, isn't it? patrick christys on gb news,

radio.

at 4 pm. i will have more on what appears to be a victory for people campaign to stop migrants being housed at raaf bases in essex and lincolnshire. >> we spoke to priti patel a little bit earlier on. we'll play little bit earlier on. we'll play you back some of that in case you've missed it as well. fascinating interview. i thought case you've missed it as well. fasc i ating interview. i thought case you've missed it as well. fasci wouldn'terview. i thought case you've missed it as well. fasci wouldn't usually thought case you've missed it as well. fasc i wouldn't usually focus ht case you've missed it as well. fasc i wouldn't usually focus on now i wouldn't usually focus on the news that hollywood actors now i wouldn't usually focus on the actresses hollywood actors now i wouldn't usually focus on the actresses are .lywood actors now i wouldn't usually focus on the actresses are .lywooron :tors and actresses are going on strike. to it strike. there's much more to it than this. there's much more than this. there's much more than the eye with this than meets the eye with this story. but it is a story, though, frankly, that could have implications every single though, frankly, that could have impiofations every single though, frankly, that could have impiof us.1s every single though, frankly, that could have impiof us. the every single though, frankly, that could have impiof us. the bigery single though, frankly, that could have impiof us. the big issue1gle though, frankly, that could have impiof us. the big issue here is one of us. the big issue here is this is art, official intelligence over the intelligence taking over the world. nearly of the world. so nearly 98% of the members screen actors members of the screen actors guild voted were in favour guild who voted were in favour of striking. they have two main concerns, and this is where it gets interesting. so one is about pay fine . all right. the about pay fine. all right. the other is the threat of artificial intelligence. actors are that in future are worried that in future digital images will be used without their permission . so if without their permission. so if i could be used in place of film stars , frankly, will your job stars, frankly, will your job

soon be at risk as well? we are already seeing big companies deciding they can save deciding that they can save a load of money on staff for what? menial jobs. but all the way through to jobs in the banking industry. i mean, if you've got a that do the a supercomputer that can do the work humans single work of 25 humans every single second, earth would second, then why on earth would you to employ those you continue to employ those humans? there are ai newsreaders as well, believe it or not, but none of them can replicate the kind of chaotic energy that i bnng kind of chaotic energy that i bring to and so that's why bring to it. and so that's why i'm trying my job. but i'm trying to keep my job. but i can speak now to andrew bricks, who is a professor at oxford university in university and is an expert in artificial intelligence. and can i had you on this i just say, we had you on this show once before and every single person outside decided that far that you were far too intellectual for the usual gutter of this show. gutter standard of this show. but we have you back in to but we have got you back in to try to raise the bar. okay so hollywood actors first. firstly, are concerned that their likeness can be used. that's how advanced ai can be. you'd never have to have another james bond have to have anotherjames bond . resurrect an old . you could resurrect an old james bond. could do james bond. you could do whatever. for more us, whatever. but for more of us, how should we be about how worried should we be about al ?

ai? >> well , the pace at which >> well, the pace at which progress is being made is quite astonishing . and i think all of astonishing. and i think all of us in the field are amazed at things that are happening now that we thought might take much longer . some that we thought might take much longer. some of them are hugely beneficial . we're seeing great beneficial. we're seeing great benefits of the application of ai in health care . benefits of the application of ai in health care. um, my benefits of the application of ai in health care . um, my own ai in health care. um, my own company , controllogix, is company, controllogix, is applying it to the development of quantum computing with the benefits that will bring . but benefits that will bring. but there are plenty of reasons for being concerned as well . um, as being concerned as well. um, as far as jobs go, we'll come back to some of the issues in a moment, if you like. as far as jobs go, uh, every new technology erg has led to change things in employment . and one things in employment. and one way to think about it is that al way to think about it is that ai will do tasks and therefore it

will do tasks and therefore it will replace tasks . but it need will replace tasks. but it need not replace employment. you gave the example of banks. there was a time when bank statements were written out by hand with a quill pen. now they're done by the computer. i don't think anyone would want to go back to a room full of clerks writing out bank statements with a quill pen. the crucial thing is to anticipate those changes for people to be ready to be trained in new jobs, which may be more interesting jobs, more challenging jobs and more creative jobs. and it's the job of those who are in leadership and policy position opfions leadership and policy position options to anticipate those changes and provide the, you know, make provision for the new training that's going to enable people to do concerns with the future and not the jobs of the past. >> my concern with that, andrew, would be that that requires some element of a moral compass and not just someone who's trying to

balance the books. okay so, yes, in an ideal world, an employer would go, we now have this piece of frankly can of technology that frankly can do your jobs, but we're do all of your jobs, but we're going to find additional jobs for reality, they're going to find additional jobs for not reality, they're going to find additional jobs for not goinglity, they're going to find additional jobs for not going to ', they're going to find additional jobs for not going to do |ey're going to find additional jobs for not going to do that, are just not going to do that, are they? because would i mean, they? because it would i mean, it would massively, massively affect them. >> you're absolutely right >> well, you're absolutely right about the moral compass. that's why i wrote the book on human flourishing, because as we need that, if we're going to flourish , i'm impressed that changes are taking place in an industry and economy acas and people are appreciating that that commerce can be morally load bearing and you're quite right. if you're, you're quite right. if you're, you know, artificial intelligence achieves the goals that are set it by those who create it. and if the goal is simply to maximise profit and then the artificial intelligence will be very good at doing that. and maybe regardless of the

trail of human wreckage that it leaves behind it. >> now now you've just i'm just going to have to i'm yeah, i'm just going to i think, zone in on that. andrew the phrase there trail of human wreckage . that's trail of human wreckage. that's something i think of something that i think a lot of people's have pricked people's ears will have pricked up what does that really up at what what does that really mean because is that fear mean because there is that fear of sci fi , movie esque of your sci fi, movie esque human destruction that i could cause.is human destruction that i could cause. is that what you meant? >> well well, it could. i mean , >> well well, it could. i mean, one of the things that came to people's attention last year was the coroner's verdict in the tragic case of molly russell, this lovely 14 year old girl who took her own life and the coroner was quite clear that analysis of her phone showed what the machine learning the ai had been throwing at her, which was unhelpful. and no doubt contributed to her demise . as contributed to her demise. as far as the creative industries

go far as the creative industries 9° ' far as the creative industries go , again, it depends on what go, again, it depends on what your criterion is . if your your criterion is. if your criterion is simply to make as much money as you can and you might say that is hollywood's criterion , then the machine criterion, then the machine means will get very, very good at doing it and they'll get very good at moneymaking. but i think most of us would feel, well, no , you know, in human creativity , you know, in human creativity , there are other things that matter. and the best of human creativity flourishes when the creator could be a community, but it could be an individual has something that they're absolutely passionate about, that they seek to communicate. and we've seen films like that that initially may not have been commercial successful at all in fact, there are lots of cases, but with time people came to realise actually there is the mark of genius here. this is something fantastic . something fantastic. >> absolutely. now 100. yeah, well , look, >> absolutely. now 100. yeah, well, look, thank you very, very

much for coming on. and just to reveal as well to all of our viewers that andrew, that's not really him. this is i what you're watching. no, not really, no. andrew, thank you very much. that's andrew briggs can't that's andrew briggs is can't do this to you. >> there you go . >> there you go. >> there you go. >> he is professor at oxford university, an expert in artificial intelligence . i get artificial intelligence. i get the strong impression that he's probably an expert most probably an expert in most things. actually i was wanting to bring your attention to bring that to your attention because it's one thing having a little bit of a kind of look when you around tesco's or when you go around to tesco's or whatever you shop and whatever shop you shop in and you think, self—service you think, oh, self—service checkouts, low checkouts, it's kind of low level ai, isn't it? and we all saw when those first came in, we thought, that checkout thought, well, that checkout boy or for this or girl is not long for this world we are now seeing world and we are now seeing entire shops actually you entire shops where actually you could walk in, take something off shelf, put in your your off a shelf, put it in your your trolley and then leave again. you never to communicate you never have to communicate with scans it so with anyone. it scans it all. so the days of anyone the days really of anyone working are, i think, working in shops are, i think, numbered. a numbered. then you look at a variety of different professions, it professions, but even when it comes acting, i mean, it is comes to acting, i mean, it is terrifying, isn't it, that you

could have an actor that records terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiecea an actor that records terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiece to n actor that records terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiece to camerathat records terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiece to camera fort records terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiece to camera for you ords terrifying, isn't it, that you coulpiece to camera for you and one piece to camera for you and then signed a form then they've signed a form that says, this job, we says, if you want this job, we own your body for life, and then we can just roll you out. in any film we never have to pay film ever. we never have to pay you staggering stuff. well i've got a lot more coming your way in is great in the next hour. it is a great day for campaigners fighting to stop being housed stop migration, being housed at disused and disused airfields in essex and lincolnshire. there is going lincolnshire. so there is going to full judicial review to be a full judicial review into that decision move into that decision to move thousands seekers to thousands of asylum seekers to wethersfield and scampton. but thousands of asylum seekers to we'are sfield and scampton. but thousands of asylum seekers to we'are sfiel(patelscampton. but thousands of asylum seekers to we'are sfiel(patel onimpton. but thousands of asylum seekers to we'are sfiel(patel on earlier. but we are priti patel on earlier. she's around that in she's been around that site in wethersfield where remarkably she they she and quite underhand they moved in already. but moved 46 people in already. but she that is she said that place is absolutely fit purpose . absolutely not fit for purpose. we'll play a bit of a clip we'll play you a bit of a clip there. she outlined, in there. she also outlined, in case missed it, we'll play case you missed it, we'll play it but she outlined it all for you. but she outlined what she do differently if what she would do differently if she home secretary. she was still home secretary. mixed views on actually in mixed views on this actually in the vaiews@gbnews.com. the inbox. vaiews@gbnews.com. quite look, quite a few of you saying, look, she had a chance as home secretary. hearing lot secretary. we're hearing a lot of a lot of of talk from a lot of conservatives at the minute and we're not a lot of we're not hearing a lot of action. understand that. but action. i understand that. but yes, shortly having my yes, i will shortly be having my say look, surprised

say after look, it surprised me. twitter, suspended twitter, twitter suspended my account last night. i found out about 11 pm. at night when i tried to access i am yet to tried to access it. i am yet to be told exactly why twitter has suspend my account. it does appear that it's permanent. and as it stands , i am never again as it stands, i am never again in my life going to be able to create a twitter account . and create a twitter account. and yeah, so i've got some views on this. and maybe as well a little bit of an insight into exactly the way that things are working in what is supposedly now a free speech platform . and can i say speech platform. and can i say thank you to everybody who's been apparently getting the hashtag free patrick christys trending on on twitter. so thank you very much , everybody. but you very much, everybody. but yes, i'll you latest on yes, i'll give you the latest on my prison. stay very my twitter prison. stay very shortly. patrick christys on gb news. britain's news channel, a brighter outlook with boxed suella proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello , my name is rachel >> hello, my name is rachel ayers and welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office.

we determined your account broke the twitter rules, your account is permanently in read only mode , which means you can't tweet, retweet or like content. you won't be able create new won't be able to create new accounts. if you think we accounts. and if you think we got wrong, can submit an got it wrong, you can submit an appeal. well, that's nice, isn't it? have not actually been it? but i have not actually been told what tweet violated the twitter rules. so genuinely i do not know 100. but i have been made aware online that apparently it was this one where i made a joke about someone turning up at george osborne's wedding with sympathy towards the just stop oil cause pouring orange confetti over him and his new wife as they left the church . so this is what what i said. if did this my if somebody did this at my wedding, they'd be getting buned wedding, they'd be getting buried graveyard behind buried in the graveyard behind the very shortly the church very shortly afterwards. look , it's afterwards. now, look, it's a joke, okay? it's a joke. it's tongue in cheek, and i'm pretty sure that absolutely everybody can and that nobody can see that and that nobody realistically thinks that i would murder a middle aged woman throwing orange confetti at my wedding before taking out a shovel and digging her grave,

putting her in it and cracking on with the wedding reception . on with the wedding reception. but has clearly happened is but what has clearly happened is there's a load of people who quite there's a load of people who quhe and quite possibly hate me and indeed gb news have been deliberately obtuse. misinterpret edited it got misinterpret edited it and got their twitter mates to their twitter pylon mates to report making so—called report me for making so—called violent threats . well, this is violent threats. well, this is actually very similar in terms of what i tweeted to what a load of what i tweeted to what a load of other people were saying at the time. i would just like to say here as well, who am i actually threatening? i am talking about a hypothetical person turning up on a hyper thetical wedding day. to be clear , even if people took this clear, even if people took this at face value, the person i would be threatening doesn't exist. it's a non—person . now, exist. it's a non—person. now, i thought twitter was supposed to be a bastion of free speech these days. not somewhere where someone can make a joke like that and face what appears to be a lifetime ban and the inability to ever open another account again. now i just want to reiterate some of the people who

are allowed on twitter. we have the ayatollah of iran. we also have , of course, the taliban . have, of course, the taliban. now, in terms of violent threats , it doesn't get much more violent and threatening than them, does it? they are allowed to tweet away to their heart's content when they're not fronting a regime that fronting up a regime that tortures slaves women, tortures people. slaves women, commits mass acts of terrorism. surely there is an irony here as well that just stop oil themselves are allowed on twitter and i am not. they do film and encourage criminality and they appear very adept at organising that. so it's okay for them to publish stuff about someone trying to ruin somebody's wedding it's okay somebody's wedding. it's okay for them to sit in road and for them to sit in a road and stop getting to work and stop people getting to work and cause damage. et cause criminal damage. et cetera. me cetera. that's okay. but me telling little joke not. telling a little joke is not. now do really appreciate now i do really appreciate everybody who's actually gone into bat for me so far, tweeting elon musk and twitter support. et . martin daubney of et cetera. martin daubney of this parish has been on a chap called chris rose as well. our rival , but also, i should say, rival, but also, i should say, my good friend andre walker over at thank very much.

at talktv. thank you very much. the is this. okay, this the reality is this. okay, this could happen to you. you are only ever one joke and one big lefty pile on away from some faceless twitter person deciding that you should be cancelled from your twitter account forever. it's worth noting i have never ever been in trouble with twitter before. this should be a massive concern for everybody . this could happen to everybody. this could happen to you over nothing really. absolutely nothing, is it? but look , i hope this situation look, i hope this situation rectifies itself . if i wanted to rectifies itself. if i wanted to just prove to everyone at twitter who may be watching this now that i do not in any way actually pose a physical threat to just stop oil or people sympathetic to their cause . now, sympathetic to their cause. now, i think there is only one way to prove that i wouldn't murder someone who pours confetti over me , dig their grave, and then me, dig their grave, and then bury them nearby. so maybe we should just bring in the person who appears to be quite

sympathetic to the just stop oil cause right then. okay. hello. can you . can you confess to me, can you. can you confess to me, please . right. so as you can please. right. so as you can see, absolutely no murder took place there. i wasn't even close to murdering him . look, for to murdering him. look, for goodness sake, i know i might not be everybody's cup of tea and people might not agree with my views on everything . but my views on everything. but facing a lifetime twitter ban for a tongue in cheek joke is a bit much . well, that's what bit much. well, that's what i think. obviously, i want to hear from you. you can email me gb views. gbnews.com. i'll have more on that a little bit later on. but i think it's time to, uh, to get back to more serious matters. some people would argue proper news actually should just dust off the old just up old confetti. i'm still for what it's worth, absolutely nowhere

near murdering that person. there go . right. okay. there we go. right. okay. anyway. okay so now to anyway. right. okay so now to our top story this afternoon. and great news for and it is great news for campaigners fighting to stop thousands migrants being thousands of migrants being housed at raf bases in essex and lincolnshire. they've won the battle to get a judicial review into the home office's decision. so 46 migrants have already been moved raf wethersfield, moved into raf wethersfield, with plans for 1700 people to be there by the autumn, and 2000 men are due to be placed at raf scampton, which was the home of the dambusters. joining me now is our home and security affairs edhon is our home and security affairs editor. it's mark white from the royal courts of justice. mark, thank very, much. thank you very, very much. what's latest, please ? well what's the latest, please? well i've got scotland yard on standby. >> just in case you do decide to commit a murder. but in the meantime , our report on what's meantime, our report on what's been happening here today and it is positive news, i think , for is positive news, i think, for those people who've been campaigning to try to stop these asylum seekers arriving in their thousands at raf scampton in in

lincolnshire and the former raf base at wethersfield, it will have to be fought out at a new, wider hearing. a judicial review, at which case these interested parties. it will be the west lindsey district council for raf scampton and braintree district council representing the base at wethersfield and to put forward what they believe is a case of a government abuse using the national emergency laws to bypass planning consent. so that they can put these asylum seekers into these bases. and you heard, of course, the former home secretary, priti patel , home secretary, priti patel, welcoming the development that was handed down here at the high court and accusing the government of running roughshod over local planners and adopting a we know best policies. so

clearly now is a local mp in our area. she is firmly behind the local people in wethersfield and fighting the fact that of course they've already sent 46 young men down to that air base and it's possible that at some point , given what we still have to have in the way of a decision at the judicial review that the government might be forced to reverse that policy, we just have to wait and see. that's for another date. no date is yet for that judicial review. and of course, it will, patrick, i think, be a reserved judgement. so it could be a good couple of months or more away before we get a final conclusion to what's happening with these raf bases . happening with these raf bases. as . around 46 asylum seekers as. around 46 asylum seekers have been moved in to wethersfield airfield. >> so in this intervening period of time, then is there a good chance that more people will be moved into places like that? do we know ? well that's the great

we know? well that's the great unknown we've reached out to the home office for comment today. >> we got back through sources that they are not putting particularly concerned with the latest developments because, of course, it is still to be decided by a judicial review. but it was a bit of a surprise, ihave but it was a bit of a surprise, i have to say, two days ago when it was revealed here in court and then confirmed by the government that they had gone and sent 46 young men down to this facility. given that the legal proceedings have not yet been concluded and decided upon. so they may live to regret that. and you're right. i mean, they may decide that actually they're just going to go all out for this one and start sending even more for asylum seekers down there in the interim. i mean, there in the interim. i mean, there is an imperative. i understand, you know , from the understand, you know, from the government's point of view , they government's point of view, they want to get out of this constant

overreliance on using hotels. you've been reporting in recent days just how enraged communities in wales and other parts of the country are about the use of these hotels in their local communities. the government is very alive to that disquiet in communities right across the country. it's trying to come up with alternative solutions . us and some of the solutions. us and some of the alternative solutions involve putting people together en masse in purposely adapted facilities like old bases or indeed that barge that will be arriving in portland in the coming days. >> mark, thank you very much. mark white there gb news home and security editor. so look, let's head to scampton now and speak to paul carter from the save arts scampton campaign . save arts scampton campaign. paul save arts scampton campaign. paul, thank you very much. i understand you might have a might have a bit of trouble

to it. we we're more it's not that we're opposed to having asylum seekers in here or anywhere , but it's the fact that anywhere, but it's the fact that this place we've got this huge investment here and there's a huge future for this camp , this, huge future for this camp, this, this, this place. >> it's got history, the real history. >> and we're not just talking to get the dambusters. there's a lot more behind it than that. >> this this cat we've got lots of boys who can hear this camp had actually took the first test, the very first bombing raid on germany and the very last raf bombing raid in germany was was actually taken off from this camp. we were a huge part of the v bomber deterrent during the cold war . of the v bomber deterrent during the cold war. you of the v bomber deterrent during the cold war . you know, we've the cold war. you know, we've had the red arrows here. >> there's a lot of history in this place. >> on top of that, it's probably one the most sort of one of the most sort of original, intact world war two bomber bases there is . most most bomber bases there is. most most raaf get modified and raaf camps get modified and changed and new buildings added. this is pretty much as it was in world war ii. so you know, there's a lot of history here

car you've got to have business use on your car. so could you imagine if all teachers in imagine if all the teachers in this country suddenly had put this country suddenly had to put in on? and in a bill for getting on? and i know that's not an excuse, but that's one. number two is that's number one. number two is the health and safety. safeguarding children shouldn't the health and safety. sa1in uarding children shouldn't the health and safety. sa1in theiing children shouldn't the health and safety. sa1in the fronthildren shouldn't the health and safety. sa1in the front withzn shouldn't the health and safety. sa1in the front with you. ouldn't the health and safety. sa1in the front with you. theyi't be in the front with you. they should the back. there's should be in the back. there's all things about, you all sorts of things about, you know, could go on forever on know, i could go on forever on the safeguarding element and then for then it is dangerous for everybody. also, do know everybody. but also, do you know what? for my what? i'm an advocate for my children school. i'm not the children in school. i'm not the one who should getting them one who should be getting them out in the morning and out of bed in the morning and making in school. making sure they're in school. it's no, no, absolutely. >> no, no, absolutely. christine, much. christine, thank you very much. great to have you on the show as even great to have you on the show as ever. and your jacket matches my great to have you on the show as eve which your jacket matches my great to have you on the show as eve which isur jacket matches my great to have you on the show as eve which is almostt matches my great to have you on the show as eve which is almost like |tches my great to have you on the show as eve which is almost like we es my tie, which is almost like we planned christine cunniffe planned it. christine cunniffe there. you go. who is there. hey there you go. who is there. hey there you go. who is the headteacher licenced the headteacher of the licenced victuallers school in ascot? it's just up oilfield. it's a slight just up oilfield. so that started switching, right? so there's loads more still now and still to come between now and 5:00 as it emerges that liz truss has raking it in truss has been raking it in since as prime since she quit as prime minister. the only one minister. she's not the only one and are actually other and there are actually other serving mps who have not held as high office as her, who are also

raking is this okay? raking it in. is this okay? should allowed raking it in. is this okay? sh have allowed raking it in. is this okay? sh have second allowed raking it in. is this okay? sh have second jobs? allowed raking it in. is this okay? sh have second jobs? so allowed raking it in. is this okay? shhave second jobs? so i'm wed to have second jobs? so i'm going be talking about all of going to be talking about all of that i come back. but right that when i come back. but right now the headlines. and rory now it's the headlines. and rory .thank now it's the headlines. and rory . thank you very much. >> patrick, former manchester city footballer benjamin mendy has been found not guilty of rape and attempts to rape at chester crown court . chester crown court. >> the france international was accused of raping a 24 year old woman at his home in cheshire in october 2020. he was also charged with the attempted rape of a 29 year old woman. two years earlier, mendy had denied both charges, saying the encounters had been consensual, all to councils have been given permission to go to the high court to challenge the home office decision to house migrants at former raf bases. west lindsey district council opposes the use of raf scampton in lincolnshire, braintree council is challenging the use

of wethersfield airfield in essex. the two day hearing began on wednesday as the first migrants began arriving at wethersfield . two british men wethersfield. two british men have been sentenced for smuggling seven indian migrants , including women and children, into the uk in the boots of cars . one man who was stopped in doverin . one man who was stopped in dover in 2018 has been given three and a half years for assisting unlawful immigration. three indian nationals claiming to be afghan sikhs were found in the boot of his hire car. his co—accused, who had four indian nationals in his, has been jailed for three years and two months also for assisting unlawful immigration . the emails unlawful immigration. the emails has been carved in a cornfield in york to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of tutankhamun in farmer tom piercey designed the labyrinth of the egyptian pharaoh's death mask. it was a british archaeologist , howard british archaeologist, howard carter, who discovered the tomb

and found the mummified body of the pharaoh . in 1903. as the the pharaoh. in 1903. as the latest. but you can get more on all of those stories by visiting our website that is gbnews.com nato . nato. >> i'll tell you what tutankhamun will be absolutely chuffed with that. wait and see. right. okay now, being a member of parliament earns you around £86,000 a year , as well as the £86,000 a year, as well as the ability to claim allowances to cover the costs of running an office and employing staff and maintaining a constituency residence at all a residence in london. so given this generosity, should their sole focus not be on representing their constituents or should they be allowed to have second jobs? now, some of the figures on this are really quite interesting. some mps earn as much as 12 grand an hour. liz

truss supposedly at 15 grand an houn truss supposedly at 15 grand an hour, but that is quite misleading as it was £15,000 for a speech. i mean, it's still a heck of a lot, by the way. but you know, it's not it's not just an hour's work sitting at the desk, is it? the average wage per hour for an mp? apparently is £233. this is outside of their annual salary as an mp, which is a lot more than the average wage of the british public. but this is a good thing. i'm joined now by gb news presenter calvin robinson and former labour macshane former labour mp denis macshane . great stuff, chaps. thank you very get stuck very much. let's get stuck in. calvin, i start with you. calvin, i will start with you. should allowed to have should mps be allowed to have second jobs? >> should anyone be allowed to have second jobs? of course, mps are self employed. at the end of the day, they're quite entrepreneurial in the way they run offices. they run their offices. they don't actually for the state, actually work for the state, they themselves even they work for themselves even though their though they represent their constituents. if we constituents. yes, but if we want attract the best people want to attract the best people to stand election, then we to stand for election, then we have a decent for have to have a decent salary for these people. have to have these people. we have to have a top wage top roles. and top wage for top roles. and i think at the moment have such think at the moment we have such a calibre of parliamentary

a low calibre of parliamentary because most people who because frankly, most people who are in a top position in the private sector wouldn't to private sector wouldn't want to give that up to go and work in parliament. why would you? >> , your view? you >> okay, dennis, your view? you don't think they should have second jobs? >> well, i'm sorry to hear my dear old friend calvin defend the blob because what the civil service want the media blob , the service want the media blob, the left wing blob, the right wing blob is exactly to have mps who are not there in the commons working on legislation swanning around liz truss, now £15,000 for a 15 minute speech. >> it just makes a mockery. >> it just makes a mockery. >> it just makes a mockery. >> it lowers mps in the esteem of all of the public. it's really changed, i must say, the last ten years. >> boris johnson or theresa may. >> boris johnson or theresa may. >> millions, millions being earned for nothing . earned for nothing. >> and in other countries, mps initiate laws. they're in charge here. >> puppets of the end of the civil service string. >> a few ministers string, a few

media mogul string . media mogul string. >> no. if they work full time on the job, i think we have a much better run country. >> hello, dennis. i'm to going stick with you before i go back to calvin then. so so when you were an mp, okay, did you have no time in your day whatsoever to anything else? did you to do anything else? did you never do any other role calls or appointments or earn a single penny from an outside source whatsoever ? whilst you were a whatsoever? whilst you were a serving mp ? serving mp? >> i worked after i stopped being a minister. >> i've always written a little bit of journalism, not a lot. >> it's a bit like gb news appearance fees, you know, it just about covers the luncheon vouchers . so i'd a bit of that vouchers. so i'd a bit of that for sure. and i've written books so people would accuse me, it's all right for you, dennis. >> could write a book or >> you could write a book or two, honestly, my total two, but honestly, my total earnings wonderful earnings from my wonderful literary output, i can read them all the to you. all down the titles to you. patrick wouldn't even pay for your holiday. your next gig holiday. >> i actually think i would >> now, i actually think i would have been better for if i could have been better for if i could

have worked collaboratively with other mps across , sometimes other mps across, sometimes across the aisle, with tories and lib dems and so on, or proposing laws and stop bad laws being made and improving the laws that are made when you can go off and earn the kind of fortunes you just mentioned . fortunes you just mentioned. >> why work on legislation ? >> why work on legislation? >> why work on legislation? >> okay. okay. calvin i'll get you into to respond to what we've heard there from dennis. yeah that was very telling, wasn't it? >> because it wasn't about time for dennis. dennis also did other he did journalism. other work. he did journalism. he wrote books. was telling he wrote books. what was telling about the calibre of he wrote books. what was telling abowork. the calibre of he wrote books. what was telling abowork. he the calibre of he wrote books. what was telling abowork. he saidie calibre of he wrote books. what was telling abowork. he said he alibre of he wrote books. what was telling abowork. he said he made of his work. he said he made pittance. that's not the issue there, is it? then didn't there, is it? then he he didn't have the calibre of people like liz charge £15,000 for liz truss to charge £15,000 for a speech if he if he did, i'm sure he would have. he didn't a speech if he if he did, i'm surehee would have. he didn't a speech if he if he did, i'm surehe didn't! have. he didn't a speech if he if he did, i'm surehe didn't havee. he didn't a speech if he if he did, i'm surehe didn't have thee didn't a speech if he if he did, i'm sure he didn't have the time1't a speech if he if he did, i'm sure he didn't have the time to say he didn't have the time to do it. he just said he couldn't earn much. and that's what earn as much. and that's what this about. the this is all about. it's the politics of the left do politics of envy. the left do not like people making lot of not like people making a lot of money. should be allowed not like people making a lot of m

wider point, it's about the way money powers corrupted the blob has corrupt politics left and right for far too long in this country. >> okay , calvin, do you think >> okay, calvin, do you think that there is just just a little a little assumption here? maybe, maybe, maybe that some of the top tories are more or more employable, more sort after whether it's right for a more entertaining public speakers or , dare i say, have maybe had more of a world in business and find dance and everything like that. they're more employable . that. they're more employable. and so that is why you potentially see some of the tories earning more money outside work than say i don't know. angela rayner absolutely, just more entrepreneurial. >> we see that with not just jacob rees—mogg but lee anderson but it isn't necessarily a party divide, obviously we have gloria on the channel at some point as well. about people who are well. it is about people who are good their skill good good with their skill set, good with talents and know how with their talents and know how to money, and there's to make money, and there's

nothing wrong with making a bit of money. >> okay, of you, thank you >> okay, both of you, thank you very, very much. enjoyed very, very much. i have enjoyed this. managed to to this. i have managed to get to page 67 on the page five of 67 on the westminster accounts list, and we starting to some we are starting to see some labour party top earners here. beth winter £370 an hour. not bad . keir starmer is apparently bad. keir starmer is apparently charged £360 an hour. the thing is though , isn't it, if keir is though, isn't it, if keir starmer wins the next election. cheers by the way, was calvin robertson that was denis robertson and that was denis macshane keir macshane as well. if keir starmer next election, starmer wins the next election, even doesn't actually and even if he doesn't actually and then from politics in then retires from politics in however many years and goes however many years time and goes on do the after dinner on to do the after dinner speaking tour, mean, if speaking tour, i mean, if someone him 15 grand to do someone pays him 15 grand to do a speech, which they may do a speech, which they may well do for prime minister if for a former prime minister if that happens, he'll that ever happens, then he'll be on this list, won't he? on top of this list, won't he? just underneath the likes of bofis just underneath the likes of boris johnson. do you think they'll same clamour they'll be the same clamour then? oh, look at this shady second don't know. maybe second jobs. i don't know. maybe not. breaking news not. but the big breaking news today me. yes, i have today concerns me. yes, i have been twitter, but been banned from twitter, but why? on gb why? i'm patrick christys on gb news and i will be desperately trying my twitter account trying to get my twitter account back a sack. apparently, back in a sack. apparently, britain's news .

8 pm. on. gb news this monday. >> dan wootton is back. don't miss big opinions and fiery debate. that's dan wootton tonight . debate. that's dan wootton tonight. monday to debate. that's dan wootton tonight . monday to thursday from tonight. monday to thursday from 9 pm. to 11 pm. on gb news the people's channel. britain's news

. channel >> welcome back. at 5:00, i will be crossing live to wethersfield to get the reaction of local residents after today's high court win . for the migrant court win. for the migrant campaigners . court win. for the migrant campaigners. in court win. for the migrant campaigners . in case you missed campaigners. in case you missed it, my twitter account has been suspended. yes, but this isn't just a story about me. now, this could you, oh, could affect you, too. oh, brilliant. someone's managed to pull it up. i have not been told what tweet violated twitter rules, made what tweet violated twitter rules, that made what tweet violated twitter rules, that apparently made what tweet violated twitter rules, that apparently it1ade one aware that apparently it was one where made a joke about where i made a joke about someone turning up at george osborne's wedding and pouring orange over him and his osborne's wedding and pouring oran wife over him and his osborne's wedding and pouring oran wife as over him and his osborne's wedding and pouring oran wife as theyver him and his osborne's wedding and pouring oran wife as they ver ithe and his new wife as they left the church. this is what church. so, look, this is what i said. now, bear in mind, this is a understand. it's not a joke. i understand. it's not everybody's tea or everybody's cup of tea or whatever they but i said, whatever they say, but i said, if somebody did this at my wedding, they'd be getting buned wedding, they'd be getting buried behind buried in the graveyard behind the shortly the church. very shortly afterwards. joke. afterwards. it was a joke. it was a joke. and to be was a joke. right. and to be honest with you, really don't honest with you, i really don't think anybody their right think anybody in their right mind reading that mind is genuinely reading that tweet. that tweet. surely thought that i would murder someone at my own wedding. but maybe i'm wrong about that. maybe i'm wrong about that. maybe i'm wrong about don't think it

about that. i don't think it merits a life time ban from a social media platform to discuss this further, i'm joined by political and social commentator frank furedi. frank thank you very, very much. i am intrigued to find out at some point with some kind of tech expert exactly how these things work, because from as much as i can gather what has happened here is something that could happen to anyone, which is that a kind of lefty twitter mob decides that they want to target a particular thing. they bombard twitter with however many hundreds complaints about something and then twitter is highlighted to it and potentially bans it because they feel as though there have been so many people offended by it when in reality i'm not really sure anybody was that offended. i don't know. what do you think? >> well, i think these are very arbitrary developments . probably arbitrary developments. probably somebody a very bad day and somebody at a very bad day and looked at your tweet , maybe looked at your tweet, maybe complained , and at the other end complained, and at the other end at twitter's, that probably was somebody a sensitivity reader

who also had a very bad day and maybe just said, well, why don't why don't we make an example of you and i think it could be that arbitrary because cause at the moment there is such a intense policing of offence, such an intense attempt to regulate what people can and cannot say. and i think twitter has become very defensive . it's under a lot of defensive. it's under a lot of pressure to prove that. it's just as good at at kind of regulating speech as the previous owner. and i think that that's probably why just happened that on a bad day, you were making the wrong twitter at the wrong time. and that's what explains your your banning . and explains your your banning. and i'm sure that come tomorrow morning or maybe monday morning, somebody at twitter's headquarters will wake up and say, we're a bunch of idiots. why did we do this and find a way of allowing you back on this very important social platform? >> i think it is a concern for people because that was just a joke and i think anyone can see

whether people like the joke or not. >> fine, whatever. but i mean, it was just quite clearly a joke. and for anybody now who is tweeting anything, there is basically the potential that enough people might decide that on that given day for whatever reason, they want to come after you and they they do that you and then they they do that and the other thing is, supposedly what they've done there me for making there is get me for making violent threats , which i mean, violent threats, which i mean, sounds awful , right? it's sounds awful, right? it's seriously it sounds mean. it makes me sound like a thug , makes me sound like a thug, really, doesn't it? anyone who knows me knows i wouldn't be able to knock the skin off a rice pudding. but i mean, it is quite easy to make very serious claims about somebody based on quite rules that quite arbitrary rules that twitter appear to have. yeah >> in the language that is now used , the promiscuous word of used, the promiscuous word of used, the promiscuous word of use of the word hate or the ease with which you talk about violence or use the word abusive is just fantastic . and i think is just fantastic. and i think what's happened is that the engush what's happened is that the english language has been uprooted to the point at which

any miss communication, any act of miscommunication in, can immediately be seen as a threat to somebody's life or way of life and can become a reason for banning somebody. but the problem that we were confronted with is that this situation is likely to get worse and worse and worse because now we have several generations of people that have been socialised into thinking that if you feel sensitive, then you've got every single right to shut somebody down. that kind of attitude has become normalised to the point at which people are looking for grievance . his you know, there grievance. his you know, there are there are one hundreds thousands of people that get on twitter and they basically say, what is it that i can be offended by this morning? well well, exactly. >> and i've got to be honest with you, i mean, i'm a bit biased in all of this, but i think that's a prime example of it. as far as i cannot see this in another way. somebody must have to have read that and have had to have read that and delivery it. and delivery misinterpreted it. and

then get then deliberately decided to get very about it. and bearing very angry about it. and bearing in mind that i tweeted that at something like 8 9 pm. on a something like 8 or 9 pm. on a saturday night. so people have then wasted their saturday evening going out of way evening going out of their way to report me the twitter to report me to the twitter gods, which i suspect says a lot more them than it does me. more about them than it does me. but do think this kind but do you think this kind of cancel culture coming more cancel culture is coming more from the left or the right? frank think it's much frank well, i think it's much more prevalent amongst the left, but unfortunately , a lot of but unfortunately, a lot of people on the right have become caricatures of themselves and react in the same kind of way. >> and it's understood that if you feel that you're being pushed around and you're going to adopt the same kind of language, the same attitude, then and it's very then you push back and it's very sad. but i think what's happened in is this saturday in this case is this saturday night , there are thousands of night, there are thousands of people who haven't got a social life spend their saturday life who spend their saturday evenings messing around on evenings just messing around on the internet, looking for things to be angered by and it just so happens that somebody found your tweet and it seems to me that it

could have been just as much from the left as from the right. probably it's somebody that doesn't like gb news or probably it's that doesn't like it's somebody that doesn't like you this you personally. and this provided for them to provided a pretext for them to give you time. they give you a hard time. they probably never imagined that their would lead to their complaint would lead to you banned and therefore you being banned and therefore they must be incredibly thrilled that apparently they are . that apparently they are. >> i mean, i must say it's well, i mean, obviously, i can't see the fallout for this on twitter. now, for the obvious reason. but apparently there's elements of glee. i do think there are some people who seem genuinely surprised, though, that that that has that that has happened. but we are supposed to have a new era with twitter, aren't we, for freedom of speech with elon musk. as long got musk. and as long we've got we've taliban on there. we've got the taliban on there. okay we've got the ayatollah of iran. i mean, we're talking about violent threats. it doesn't get much more violent or threatening those two, does threatening than those two, does it? is. lovely it? yeah. there he is. lovely chap. very nice. absolutely yeah. and look at that. yeah. i mean, and look at that. there we go. that's the taliban. and so. so, yeah, i am now

here in mid essex and my constituents and my local council are very, very unhappy that there's been no impact assessment , nothing put out in assessment, nothing put out in the public domain. and there are all sorts of environmental considerations which i can tell you, having just been into wethersfield and tools toured the site well . there are a the site as well. there are a range issues there that, range of issues there that, quite frankly , you know, will be quite frankly, you know, will be deeply challenging. if 1700 asylum seekers do come and live here. it is an extraordinary site. it's enormous because of obviously the history of the site , what it was used for , you site, what it was used for, you know, in terms of it once been an american base. so there are lots of physical and logistical challenges here. number one, the site is so big that actually the home office and it is the home office, they are spending vast sums of money just literally fencing off huge parts of this base because clearly they do not want the individuals that are here, the asylum seekers going off wandering and, you know, ending up halfway up a runway or somewhere else. and they're

trying to basically keep people as concentrated as they possibly can. >> right. great stuff that there is a full version of that interview about ten minutes long or so with priti patel, the former home secretary that's available online now on our youtube , on our twitter, i youtube, on our twitter, i believe or not, that i would know. but and it's interesting because i did ask her as well, another question about what would be different under priti patel when home patel when you were home secretary she set out a range of views. caused a bit of views. it caused a bit of controversy the inbox. and i controversy in the inbox. and i can understand why a lot of people, think, are sick people, i think, are sick of heanng people, i think, are sick of hearing tories about this people, i think, are sick of hearnot tories about this people, i think, are sick of hearnot seeing about this people, i think, are sick of hearnot seeing anyabout this people, i think, are sick of hearnot seeing any action.1is people, i think, are sick of hearnot seeing any action. so i and not seeing any action. so i can get that. but yeah, do go and check that out online. but joining me now is wethersfield resident tony clarke holland. and thank you and tony, good stuff. thank you very much. do you do you feel very much. so do you do you feel like a winner today ? like a winner today? >> yeah. hello, patrick. >> yeah. hello, patrick. >> yeah, i mean, i feel like a winner today, but also i think it's a great win for the local community because behind the scenes, lots of the community members have been involved in

this and unlike the local authorities who have authorities who obviously have funding them , the local funding behind them, the local resident that's brought the case on our behalf has been funded by by residents in the local community. >> so yeah, fantastic result for us all. >> well, what does this mean going forward then? because you actually have people already actually have 46 people already in there and there is going to be an intervening period of time between now and the judicial review and the great unknown is whether or not the government is just going to fill that base . just going to fill that base. >> yeah, that's a slight frustration. i mean, the first thing, it's a great win for us because for the first time we feel we've had the opportunity to be heard. >> unfortunately, it had to be in court. but but nonetheless, we were we were heard. and that's really positive. you're absolutely right. there is slight still concerns because some some people have already gonein some some people have already gone in and we know the local authority have already come out and said, look, this isn't going to stop people from coming in, although one of one of the

things that we're keen to do is engage with authorities engage with local authorities and have got any and say, look, have you got any levers mechanisms at your levers or mechanisms at your disposal could actually disposal that could actually just a pause on just put a bit of a pause on this now, bearing in mind that the judge thought it was important to take forward important enough to take forward and arguments maybe and hear the arguments and maybe even even reverse, you even maybe even reverse, you know, what's happened so far, i mean, that's something that definitely looking into definitely will be looking into in period. so in the intervening period. so that's certainly something that we do. so a lot of people we can do. so a lot of people will be looking at what's going on in their area. >> let's be honest, a lot more likely to be a migrant hotel than a than a disused military base. however will be base. however and they will be thinking what did you do? and your community do because everyone's treated the same initially , which that there's initially, which is that there's no contact . they about no contact. they find out about something at short notice and quite often it's already happened.so quite often it's already happened. so what processes have you as a community gone through? because i think now , now coupled because i think now, now coupled with yourselves, the base at scampton and that local community in klamath in wales where we've been giving a lot of coverage this week, i think

we're going start seeing more we're going to start seeing more people into action. so people springing into action. so tell people you it . tell people how you did it. >> i think that's a really good point actually, because the reality is we kind of forced any information that we got out of the home office in particular. >> and we certainly engaged the local authority . there was some local authority. there was some hesitancy initially to sort of share information with us. but we certainly put some pressure on them . and also obviously our on them. and also obviously our local mp , ben james cleverly local mp, ben james cleverly priti patel, who's also local, came out in support as well. so those are important elements because at the end of the day, you need that sort of support and backing behind you to get any traction. you also need some really committed community members to get together and have have a plan really just as to who can do what because it is an onerous task because you've got to manage every single element from social to media media to deaung from social to media media to dealing with the legal aspect as well. and sort of getting in

touch with with the local authorities. so there's a whole range of things. but but, patrick, can i can i just say, i think out of all of this and you mentioned it earlier, i happened to be watching a little bit earlier on one the sort of earlier on one of the sort of sections you were doing sections that you were doing that when i've been sitting there with there and reflecting along with some of my sort local some of my sort of local community over the last couple of weeks and thinking, what is it that is really upset us? what are we trying to achieve here? and is and the irony and the reality is and the irony is people this very base is that people at this very base behind us and gave their lives so that we had a voice in our country as british citizens as. and i think that's been the most disappointing and disheartening. and frustrating thing because all we've ever wanted as a local community, whether we like the proposals, whether we don't, whether we agree or not, and bear we've got people bear in mind, we've got people from political leanings in from all political leanings in the local community that have come this and all come together with this and all we've really wanted was we've ever really wanted was some sort of interaction with the home office where we could actually we felt would be actually we felt we would be heard and we could say, well, we

don't agree with bit. could don't agree with this bit. could we that or change that? we mitigate that or change that? absolutely. 1700 seems a lot absolutely. or 1700 seems a lot for a small village, you know, so that overall that's so that i think overall that's our frustration. we know this will be coming to other places and we would urge the home office certainly and local action groups to try to get together and not even get to the stage where you're going to call , try and have the conversations early, but it doesn't need. this has been going on for months. >> it doesn't need this. and people talk about fairness. the word fairness a lot. and word fairness is a lot. and often geared towards often that's geared towards the people end up in people who may well end up in that behind you there. that base behind you there. these asylum who these asylum seekers who potentially the potentially just come across the channel they they want channel and they they want fairness for them. but has fairness for them. but there has to for the people to be fairness for the people who live there. there who already live there. there has to fairness for ordinary has to be fairness for ordinary british taxpayers british citizens and taxpayers who live in that particular area. and all too often, tony, it is just absolutely railroaded through. and i'm sorry, but if you're doing that, it's because, you're doing that, it's because, you know, it's you're doing something it's because you know, it's you're doing somprobably it's because you know, it's you're doing somprobably know it's because you know, it's you're doing somprobably know you're because you know, it's you're doing

somprobably know you're doingse you probably know you're doing something because, something wrong. it's because, you know, you don't want any opposition, but it's sure fire opposition, but it's a sure fire way backs up. way to get people's backs up. i mean, the this is a last resort. you've taken them to the courts. you're still going to take them to courts. you want to to the courts. you don't want to be doing this. do be there doing this. do you? really? be cracking really? you want to be cracking on your life and you've on with your life and you've been forced into this position. >> that's that's so right. and again , the crazy thing is again, the crazy thing is they're we're paying for the people that we're battling against to battle against us. we're paying for the people or on our side put our point of on our side to put our point of view through. and you kind of got this whole thing where we're all paying the whole thing. all paying for the whole thing. we're not quite we're actually i'm not quite saying or saying over a starbucks or a coffee, but you could almost sit down hey, let's down and go, hey, listen, let's compromise. let's about compromise. let's talk about what's going we all to what's going on. we all need to do bit. know there's do our bit. we know there's problems and concerns and issues, but let's discuss it and let's through and for let's get through it. and for the to turn around the government to turn around and but this is an and say, but this is an emergency, which incidentally, and say, but this is an eme|did cy, which incidentally, and say, but this is an eme|did cy, whicheforezntally, and say, but this is an eme|did cy, whichefore the lly, and say, but this is an eme|did cy, whichefore the last they did the day before the last court and then first court hearing and then the first day this court hearing, day of this court hearing, people suddenly literally come in, door. kind

in, in the back door. you kind of think, on, that's that's of think, come on, that's that's not fair. actually, you not fair. and actually, you should be the time to should be taking the time to engage, not deliberate , try and engage, not deliberate, try and circumnavigate the whole system . that that's really upsets . that that's what really upsets people, i think. >> just one quick one, tony. sorry because i'm about to get shouted out. so sorry about that. you have got this that. but you have got this farcical situation where you've got home secretary, got a former home secretary, priti a quite priti patel, who's done a quite long interview with couple long interview with me a couple of ago, the current of hours ago, and the current foreign james foreign secretary, james cleverly , james cleverly both cleverly, james cleverly both local both dead against this battling the government that they're in and in some cases some of the policies that they are voting for now. i mean, it is a bit weird , isn't it? yeah is a bit weird, isn't it? yeah yeah . yeah. >> it's strange, isn't it? and again , we know there's the again, we know there's the political pressure to get this through. and i think you know, to try and be balanced, you kind of get that the government are in a difficult where in a difficult position where they're please the they're trying to please the populous up with populous and come up with solutions . and i suppose all solutions. and i suppose all we're saying is, yeah, but the

best way to do that is to engage with people and even listen to your own party as well so that we can get the right solution on through. and almost measure it twice, once rather than twice, cut it once rather than measure it, keep reversing and going backwards and forwards and battling and more court cases and the effort, the and the time, the effort, the energy and the cost . it just energy and the cost. it just seems nonsensical to now , obviously. >> look, thank you very, very much. to great have you on the show, tony. and well for show, tony. and well done for this right direction this step in the right direction today. anyway tony clarke holland a wethersfield holland there, a wethersfield resident. okay so what resident. right. okay so what else got now , you've got else have i got now, you've got loads more on this on our website, gbnews.com. fastest loads more on this on our website, national.com. fastest loads more on this on our website, national news fastest loads more on this on our website, national news site fastest loads more on this on our website, national news site in;test growing national news site in the the best the country. all the best analysis, opinion the analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news and we have i think i've mentioned this yet today actually gb news is campaigning to stop the uk becoming a cashless society. the campaign is called simply don't kill cash and it's proving hugely popular. we launched a petition last monday and already more than 215,000 people have signed it. so the petition is on

events. and i really don't think it a lifetime ban from it merits a lifetime ban from the social media platform. vaiews@gbnews.com. and of course, anyone can get in touch on that. i am now joined by senior fellow at the new culture forum. it's dr. philip caselli. dr. philip, thank you very, very much. yeah. so i am currently in twitter prison supposedly it is a lifetime ban , but but this is a lifetime ban, but but this is this is what i don't get and this is what i don't get and this is what i don't get and this is why i think people should quite interested in should be quite interested in this a story, it this as a story, because it could happen anyone. you could happen to anyone. you could happen to anyone. you could anything at any time could tweet anything at any time . and if enough people did deliberately misinterpret it, which they must have done because i'm not actually genuinely trying to threaten anybody you anybody there. if you deliberately misinterpret and deliberately misinterpret it and get mates to on, get all your mates to pile on, twitter you a lifetime bet. >> that's the nature of twitter, isn't it? >> and this is supposed to be the public square. >> this is supposed to be where we debate real issues, problems and ideas. and it seems to me that it's getting worse rather than getting better. i mean, it was a joke. it was obviously a

joke. i remember looking at the tweets and smiling . um, but tweets and smiling. um, but actually, what happened at george osborne's wedding and whatever you think about george osborne, it really doesn't matter. but he was attacked. >> it was, it was a kind of act of symbolic terrorism , really, of symbolic terrorism, really, because i know it was only someone throwing orange confetti , but it was an intense early personal and very important space. >> it was it was his wedding . so >> it was it was his wedding. so that was a very serious event for me because i think this just stop oil is essentially a cult, isn't it? they start with being a public nuisance. they then rise to vandalism and now it's personal attacks. so i think your response, it was a humorous response, i think was an appropriate response. it was you were humorously outlining a potential scenario and just saying what everybody else was probably saying in the pub later that day. >> and in fact, actually i would although i don't want to get

anyone else banned if this is what's happening right now, there are quite a few other people out who made people out there who made basically joke. basically the same joke. actually who are still on twitter. for them. but it twitter. good for them. but it is isn't it? i think is a quirk, isn't it? i think that we have twitter that we can have twitter accounts groups like just accounts by groups like just stop oil, which are treading a very, very fine line between, well active criminality quotes and quotes, eco terrorism , and quotes, eco terrorism, however you want to call it, and actually mobilising people in order to be able to do that. but then someone who tells a joke gets banned. i mean, we do also have the taliban and the ayatollah iran, course, ayatollah of iran, of course, on twitter as well as there's the ayatollah. yeah, nice of him to p0p ayatollah. yeah, nice of him to pop taliban. there we pop up and the taliban. there we go. but but, course, i am go. and but but, of course, i am not. and it does it does appear that twitter has a slightly bizarre moral compass. >> but i think twitter >> yeah. but i think twitter reflects the moral compass of essentially the west doesn't it? you know, we fetishise these these groups of self—righteous, selfish , important people. who selfish, important people. who

are you know, putting themselves up there to save the world. they're performing to save you and they're performing to save me. and we're the wicked ones. if we say, well, hang on, we don't want you to do this and you're doing it for yourselves anyway. and half of it's complete fantasy. so yeah, i think i think it reflects on the values of the west or lack of values of the west or lack of values of the west or lack of values of the west . and this, values of the west. and this, this fetishisation of groups. and they tend to be, if you look at just stop oil in particular, they tend to be very upper middle class. they tend to be. i actually them just actually don't call them just stop and i refer to stop oil anymore. and i refer to them on twitter. i call them the ponsonby you know , so ponsonby smythes. you know, so they don't represent . i think we they don't represent. i think we should do that . i think we should do that. i think we should. you that's that's should. you know, that's that's essentially what they are. they don't represent they don't don't represent you. they don't represent they represent me. they don't represent me. they don't represent people . they represent ordinary people. they don't represent anything that's sensible . sensible. >> all know what i am keen to get to the bottom of and look what hope has happened here. what i hope has happened here. and hope this for a lot of and i hope this for a lot of people as well, because there

are people who i am raising this because luckily i for now at least a a platform and least have a have a platform and yeah. least have a have a platform and yeah . all right, it would yeah. all right, look, it would obviously nice get back on obviously be nice to get back on twitter. actually losing twitter. i'm not actually losing any sleep over it, but there were loads of people out there who get banned who will just get banned from twitter like this twitter for something like this who never be to on who will never be able to go on national television talk national television and talk about think it's about it. and i think it's worthwhile trying to out worthwhile as trying to find out how this happens. so we how this stuff happens. so we know the lefty pylon know that the lefty pylon happens. that's it is. and happens. that's what it is. and people can go, i was so offended by this clutching their pearls. meanwhile, they're also tweeting me should in me telling me i should die in a dumpster and all of this, dumpster fire. and all of this, which, you know, so, you know, go figure. but is it then like an algorithm that it picks up and actually and it's never actually really seen anyone somewhere in seen by anyone somewhere in california or wherever twitter is based is there is really based or is there a soulless human being who looks at that, takes it completely out of then makes of context and then makes a decision? and i'm not sure we ever really know about that, do we? >> i don't know. i mean, part of me thinks it's a soulless human being because the whole thing is just so soul less. but i think if you compare it to what

happened as well, i think it was around about the same time, wasn't it? um it's not. i don't know about the i don't know about the mechanism behind it, but i do know about the response once. okay. so if you compare that , that what we're talking that, that what we're talking about now to what happened at pride in london where we had this trans guy who was essentially saying that it was okay to punch terfs in the face. and the response to that was, oh, well , yes, we don't condone oh, well, yes, we don't condone it, but there's a lot of rage there . this is on an official there. this is on an official platform . it's sanctioned by the platform. it's sanctioned by the mayor of london. and the response to that is, oh, well , response to that is, oh, well, you know, they've got a lot of rage where the response to your completely innocent tweet . but i completely innocent tweet. but i would say your humorous tweet is faux outrage . it's getting you faux outrage. it's getting you off there. so i think it's just this this group mentality of the left, which always happens. yeah

it's complete fake outrage . it's complete fake outrage. >> and that is that is what it is.thank >> and that is that is what it is. thank you very much. it's been great to have you on the show. and we'll hopefully be tweeting you very soon. dr. philip caselli, who is a senior fellow at the new culture forum . yeah, genuinely just want to . yeah, i genuinely just want to say this is this is this say that this is this is this could happen to anybody. you go on a joke and on twitter, you make a joke and all a sudden someone decides all of a sudden someone decides that going to pull that they're just going to pull the on your account and, the plug on on your account and, you know, where does that i you know, where does that end, i suppose. there's loads more suppose. but there's loads more still between now still to come between now and 6:00. junior are still 6:00. junior doctors are still on despite rishi sunak on strike despite rishi sunak out saying yesterday's 6% pay deal but deal was the final offer. but our pay rises our public sector pay rises fair. bear in mind people fair. bear in mind that people in the military , the vast in the military, the vast majority of them, got 5% and that was lowest public that was the lowest public sector pay rise of any of them. is that right? but right now is your rory . your headlines with rory. >> thank you very much to patrick two councils have been given permission to go to the
