news nato. back to lawrence. >> i haven't been keeping my eyes on the news as much as usual this past week, but i understand that whilst i was drafting and redraughting my extremely powerful and moving acceptance speech for the uxbndge acceptance speech for the uxbridge and south ruislip by—election last night, the average bbc consumer was being vigorously awakened to the malevolent cancer of what is called cancel culture. and yet still, as i work through the trauma with my team of therapists and my tibetan spiritual guru ulez swabbed to come to terms with the election result with someone who must be in double digits now of verified cancellations, even on the streets of uxbridge and in the sweaty hall where the vote count took place . cancel culture took place. cancel culture followed around like a followed me around like a grandfather's the establishment's propaganda arm, the biased broadcasting corporation, informed me on the streets of uxbridge the day before polling that their schedule was too to full interview me while simultaneously interviewing a

member of the women can clearly have a penis party formerly known as the liberal democrats, who incidentally , i beat soundly who incidentally, i beat soundly in the election . he actually met in the election. he actually met and for a time last night when it looked like enough people had put a fox in the box for us to beat the stop being mean to the tadpoles party, throwing out the possibility that i might indeed come media bod come third. my media bod approached the bbc again and offered me up for another interview . under no circumstance interview. under no circumstance ounces, said the producer. what, even if he wins , said my even if he wins, said my colleague, even if he wins, sneered the arrogant little twerp from the jimmy saville protection society . he now my protection society. he now my spiritual guru, had prepared me for the minute possibility that i wouldn't take the seat by a 20,000 majority in the message he had received from the gods dunng he had received from the gods during a dream. but for the to bbc publicly and arrogantly refused to interview a candidate from a party which is now beating significant national parties in by elections, it

seems me in breach of their seems to me in breach of their charter and a and duty to impartiality. impartiality. it's worse than that, in my view. i think it's election rigging. why does some pompous little twonk get to decide whether the public should get to hear the views of a portion of the electorate? it and they do so brazenly and so publicly . the bbc is corrupt to publicly. the bbc is corrupt to the core, but we've always known that. and if the conservatives actually withdrew the charter and sent them off into the private sector, not only might they see a small bump in the polls, but also the woke bbc would be deprived of the monopolistic opportunity to drip feed into innocent feed wokery into innocent trusting defund the whole trusting minds, defund the whole sorry lot. i say . and then sorry lot. i say. and then there's the banks. apparently, we've all read about the travails of nigel, so let me give you a glimpse as to some of the other examples of what being tarred and feathered with the descriptor politically exposed person or pep a designation . an. person or pep a designation. an. i also have been honoured with by the banks can mean for your

daily life. when i renewed the car insurance on my not particularly flashy volvo, it had gone from under £1,000 a year to over £10,000 a year. rhys given pep . in fact, every rhys given pep. in fact, every single insurance i have is now much more expensive than it was before. i can't even get a competitive mortgage despite having a deposit , competitive mortgage despite having a deposit, a couple of quid in the bank and a very good credit rating either. so i'm forced to rent a house or hope that some distant who i've that some distant uncle who i've never carks and me never met carks it and leaves me enough to a home for myself enough to buy a home for myself and outright. i'm not and the kids outright. i'm not holding my breath. then and there were the calls from barclays bank asking questions about transactions which had been constant and non problematic for years . all the problematic for years. all the slow drip of intimidation, the we've got our eyes on you chum tones with the you better make sure your values align with our values is passive aggression. so much so that i've removed almost every penny i have from barclays still need my direct debits for netflix, not the bbc. these are

the personal costs of being a p9p the personal costs of being a pep as we are called. the professional ones are just as sinister . professional ones are just as sinister. the dreadful and appalling . metro bank. yes, appalling. metro bank. yes, appal ing, who initially permitted to give the reclaim party a bank account, then spent two years making it impossible to operate or receive donations to operate or receive donations to allow our party to have members for those members to have subscriptions. and most crucially, to expand and edge ever closer to the cosy hegemony of the acceptable parties. they closed our immaculately complied int account for no reason whatsoever last year. they invented a new piece of compliance , a new entire compliance, a new entire department apparently . and it department apparently. and it would seem that our values and theirs didn't align either. i contemplated phoning the bank to inform them that some of my best girlfriends had penises to apologise profoundly for being white and to reassure them that i would be happy to publicly denounce novak djokovic . but denounce novak djokovic. but then i thought i'd do something

useful instead. and today i sent them a freedom of information request for the inevitable dossier as to why the deplorables like me and those who support the reclaim party shouldn't allowed to exist , shouldn't be allowed to exist, and the fact that they're actually proud enough to do this while knowing it's wrong is concerning and all the bekind brigade who cheer the removal of bafic brigade who cheer the removal of basic services and cancellation of others still don't realise that when the worm turns , which that when the worm turns, which it always does, that we were actually fighting for them as well . but the wokeist don't do well. but the wokeist don't do understanding or gratitude or kindness or forgiveness or tolerance that well . but do you tolerance that well. but do you know what they really do? do well puritanism in spades. so sure . as night follows day in sure. as night follows day in the knowledge that their game is slowly coming to an end, they've doubled down yet again in their malevolent escalation of distraction. there have been documented, well documented attacks on one of my own colleagues on this channel attacks. i suspect are concocted to distract from the generous

financial donations of a welshman who likes taking selfies of his own bottom . i selfies of his own bottom. i opened my own social media last week to find some chap accusing me of raping his sister's mate at a party last summer, a ridicule allegation. anyone who knows me knows that i don't go to parties . my rape accuser said to parties. my rape accuser said that the police were useless, but i had to spend an entire afternoon on the phone to the cops reporting it. they reassured me that if i had been accused of rape, a visit from the police would have been followed imminently . i the police would have been followed imminently. i did try and report allegation on and report the allegation on twitter as well, but apparently, as didn't involve any as it didn't involve any misgendering deadnaming, misgendering or deadnaming, calling rapist doesn't calling someone a rapist doesn't break their community guidelines. look, i don't guidelines. now look, i don't want to try and make light of this deliberately, but the hypocrisy of it really irritates me . the same people who me. the same people who consistently say that allegations assault allegations of sexual assault aren't so aren't taken seriously are so happy to accuse anyone and everyone when they disagree with. now, of rape. that's a good friend. put it to me the other day. cheap as foxy. you've gone pretty quickly from racist to rapist, haven't you, chap ?

to rapist, haven't you, chap? now there is a point to all of this. it is often said , with this. it is often said, with weary and diminishing optimism , weary and diminishing optimism, the tide is turning, but this time . this time the tide really time. this time the tide really is turning. even some of the liberal middle class woke his are smart enough to realise that if can close one bank account if he can close one bank account for misaligned then you for misaligned values, then you can any bank account for can close any bank account for misaligned values. and i said misaligned values. and as i said earlier, the miserable woke movement isn't on any of movement isn't strong on any of the emotions it claims to champion. so if we have an opportunity . not to joyfully opportunity. not to joyfully cancel and return, but to bring back a long forgotten quality, so important in life, and that quality is that of forgiveness. we should forgive those who we have trespassed against and we should seek forgiveness in return , not because we're good return, not because we're good people , but because we're the people, but because we're the exact opposite . we are bad exact opposite. we are bad people because forgiveness sets a standard for everybody to follow. forgiveness to cancel culture is like sunlight to a vampire deadly. now that's not

to say there aren't some wrongs which must be righted. there isn't a day goes by where i don't mourn being cancelled from a career i loved and adored. and i will fight to my last breath to have my name restored. to have my good name restored. i can assure you that . your can assure you of that. your good name is the most important thing you possess . that good name is the most important thing you possess. that is why the first thing i woke friends come after is your good name. but as the balance begins to be slowly restored, which it will, it will be the quality of our idea was and the sincerity of our forgiveness , which will idea was and the sincerity of our foto veness , which will idea was and the sincerity of our foto be ess , which will idea was and the sincerity of our foto be the , which will idea was and the sincerity of our foto be the cure ch will idea was and the sincerity of our foto be the cure fornill idea was and the sincerity of our foto be the cure for the prove to be the cure for the cancer of cancel . culture so cancer of cancel. culture so dunng cancer of cancel. culture so during this enforced absence from this great channel, thanks to the druillenec thing and the fact that i'm the mp for south ruislip will identify why, as i noficed ruislip will identify why, as i noticed that there's been a raft of men of a certain age making some pretty big life changes. this is intrigued me, so i'm going to speak to an expert about what happens when the

belly goes floppy , the hair belly goes floppy, the hair things and the plumbing gets a bit rusty. is the menopause a myth or am i on to something ? so myth or am i on to something? so tonight i am asking you to tell me what your midlife crisis looks like. email me at gb views at gb news. com or tweet me at fox or . gb at gb news. com or tweet me at fox or. gb news. joining me now to discuss this topic further is therapist and confidence coach kevin birch . kevin, good kevin birch. kevin, good evening. how are you ? evening. how are you? >> right, good to see you. kevin >> right, good to see you. kevin >> i was reading this afternoon that you had researched me and you said that i'd had a midlife crisis. am i having a midlife crisis. am i having a midlife crisis ? crisis? >> well, no, i said that had been alleged that you'd had a midlife crisis. and when you started the reform party reclaim get it right, reclaimed. yes my mistake. mia, culpa , when you mistake. mia, culpa, when you

started to reclaim party 2 or 3 years ago, a very senior conservative politician with a high profile said, oh , well, if high profile said, oh, well, if you, you know, just buy a sports car instead of starting a political party to deal with your midlife crisis. and you, of course, replied, already have a sports car. but the thing that really yeah that is it she really yeah about that is it she was trivial izing she was making a sexist slur against you. she wouldn't have said that to a woman at she was woman at and she was trivialising really you trivialising not really you because you can handle it, you know, you can with the know, you can deal with the rough but she was rough and tumble, but she was trivialising men who find themselves midlife themselves in a kind of midlife crisis situation and are depressed, stressed out depressed, anxious, stressed out of and kind of their minds and kind of rolling their at that as if rolling their eyes at that as if it's something just laugh it's all something just to laugh at, thought was bit of at, which i thought was a bit of at, which i thought was a bit of a shame a high profile a shame for a high profile politician to do, they can politician to do, which they can get away with strangely, because misandry crime you misandry is not a crime and you know, misogyny everywhere, mate. >> as sadiq khan keeps telling us today . so can you tell us us today. so can you tell us what does cause a man of a certain age to take this sudden pause , pause in reflection on pause, pause in reflection on his life ? and what would you

his life? and what would you would you call it a midlife crisis? talk us through the process of this. well basically, as human beings, we form our identity, our sense of who we are, in large part from the roles we occupy. >> so i might say, oh, who am i? i'm a father, i'm a husband, i'm an actor, i'm a tv presenter. whatever it is. and that's fine . and then if and when one of those gets kind of knocked out by something, by divorce or by losing your career or something like that, we can then feel like our whole, oh my god, who am i? question have an answer. question doesn't have an answer. and that can feel incredibly unsettling. and if that happens when we're 25, it probably doesn't get noticed that much because we're not in that stable a period of our lives anyway, whereas we tend to be in a much more stable phase by the time we're 45, 55. so then if it happens and we change, change can look quite dramatic both to us and to other people around. >> so it's when you're younger, everyone's a bit bonkers anyway, so you wouldn't notice. but when

you're older it's you're more settled and it's noticeable and you know, obviously i don't want to just totally drag it over to the, to the trans or the sexual thing, but , the, to the trans or the sexual thing, but, you know, i if you've got someone who's happily married with five kids who suddenly says they're gay, why is that someone who's been gay all along, or is that someone who suddenly gone ? actually, who is suddenly gone? actually, on reflection of life , i'm on reflection of my life, i'm gay now, or and in the trans element, is there an auto gynephilic element to this? you know , what's happening there on know, what's happening there on the sexual side of things ? the sexual side of things? >> well, it's probably always been there and they probably have been suppressing it or feeling that it wasn't acceptable to them or to others as and you know, living in the closet . right. it's the classic closet. right. it's the classic phrase for gay men who have been or gay women who've been hiding it away. and then maybe there comes a point where i don't know their parents die, so they feel they can be true to themselves. or maybe it's simply like a build up of the pressure and they just get to the point where

they just get to the point where they go, i'm living a lie because, know, all of us because, you know, all of us probably self—aware and probably are more self—aware and know about life when we're know more about life when we're 45 than when 25. so we 45 than when we're 25. so we might at that time the 20, we might at that time in the 20, we might, know, could be might, you know, it could be a gay gets married, has gay man gets married, has children, thinks children, does what he thinks he's to isn't really he's supposed to do isn't really sure what he's feeling. and then it clear to him later on it becomes clear to him later on and he no longer wants to go along with what other people's expectations along with what other people's expectaticdoesn't work the other >> but it doesn't work the other way so you wouldn't find way round. so you wouldn't find a man who gets to 50 and a gay man who gets to 50 and suddenly you know what, suddenly goes, you know what, i'm straight. suddenly goes, you know what, i'm straight . would you so well, i'm straight. would you so well, no. so it must be very societally based. >> yeah. yeah. so male sexual orientation is pretty fixed, right ? it doesn't change either right? it doesn't change either gay or straight and it doesn't really it's obviously really change. so it's obviously there's not a social pressure to spend 20, 30 years pretending you're gay when you're really straight. the pressure is the other be other way around. that must be that dreadful. that must be dreadful. >> you think as a society >> do you think as a society that we are a genuinely progressive at the moment? do you think that it's important that we, with our understanding

of women in the menopause and hormone replacement therapy and stuff like this , do you think stuff like this, do you think that we put enough emphasis on male mental health? because obviously, suicide obviously, you know, suicide is one biggest killers in one of the biggest killers in men certain age. i've men below a certain age. i've certainly been very open about some the mental health some of the mental health problems i've had in life. and you you think men you know, do you think men should be treated and listened to and empathise with or do you think we're better off as tough, strong men ? strong men? >> well, think it's a bit of >> well, i think it's a bit of both. i think that one of the things that happens, as we saw with davidson's comment with ruth davidson's comment we said you know, middle said is that, you know, middle aged probably the least aged men are probably the least cared and empathise cared about and empathise with demographic, it's very demographic, right? so it's very to that. and that to easy dismiss that. and that happens a lot. i think that happens a lot. and i think that also then encouraging men to go to therapy and talk about their feelings, maybe valid, but that tends to be a very feminine domain. you know, women, girls sit around and talk about their feelings a lot more than men. so a lot of men would find that quite emasculate. it's not how they to do things the way they want to do things the way they want to do things the way they get their sense of self

esteem is having kind of esteem is having some kind of purpose which is why if purpose in life, which is why if they lose their job or they lose their wife or access to their kids or something, it can you know, rug has been know, the rug has pulled been pulled from them. it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem 3m them. it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so them. it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so hard. them. it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so hard. um,m. it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so hard. um, so it can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so hard. um, so i can know, the rug has pulled been pulthem so hard. um, so i think hit them so hard. um, so i think the first thing really is to as a you know, perhaps going a man, you know, perhaps going through or through something like that or getting it or worrying getting close to it or worrying about it is to realise that, you know, are more than your know, you are more than your roles in you're more than roles in life. you're more than your your role the your job or your role in the family. you you're more family. you know, you're more than and actually people than that. and actually people who religious probably who are religious probably have quite that quite an easy time seeing that because you know, all because that's, you know, all religions teach her more than just but actually, you can religions teach her more than jus an but actually, you can religions teach her more than jusan atheist actually, you can religions teach her more than jusan atheist andially, you can religions teach her more than jusan atheist and still you can religions teach her more than jusan atheist and still see can religions teach her more than jusan atheist and still see that be an atheist and still see that you're just those roles. so you're not just those roles. so that a thing to be that would be a good thing to be aware of internally. and i think the other know, you could the other you know, you could go to etcetera. the to therapy, etcetera. but the other is, if you are in a other thing is, if you are in a crisis time, you are struggling as guyin crisis time, you are struggling as guy in your 40s or 50s, as a guy in your 40s or 50s, find men who have been find older men who have been through similar and through something similar and come the other side and talk come out the other side and talk to them about it, they have to them about it, but they have to them about it, but they have to out the other side. so to come out the other side. so it's no good if you're going through talking

through divorce. talking to an older who a bitter older guy who had a bitter divorce and is still bitter about you've got find the about it, you've got to find the guy a divorce and is guy who had a divorce and is coming out other side and is coming out the other side and is now happy and peace with it now happy and at peace with it because in all these areas, you know, wisdom of elders know, the wisdom of the elders is perhaps we is something which perhaps we tend you know, tend to neglect. and you know, the it's such an the idea it's such an interesting you're just interesting sorry, you're just saying so many interesting things. >> i just to pick you up on >> i just want to pick you up on on this is that we seem to on this one is that we seem to live a world where we're told live in a world where we're told not to listen our elders. not to listen to our elders. we're to look to our we're told to look to our children, teach us. you know, children, to teach us. you know, it seems to that live in it seems to be that we live in an entirely upside down world. it seems to be that we live in an easrely upside down world. it seems to be that we live in an eas you upside down world. it seems to be that we live in an eas you say, ie down world. it seems to be that we live in an eas you say, you>wn world. it seems to be that we live in an eas you say, you know,>rld. it seems to be that we live in an eas you say, you know, ifd. and as you say, you know, if you're going through something difficult, i through very difficult, i went through a very difficult, i went through a very difficult used to difficult, i went through a very dif'forlt used to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a used to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a long used to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a long walk used to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a long walk with sed to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a long walk with my to difficult, i went through a very dif'for a long walk with my dad go for a long walk with my dad and, know, it was great and, you know, it was great because he would just sort of 9°, because he would just sort of go, well, this is this and that's that. and also a woman who i won't name definitely who i won't name and definitely wasn't the thing wasn't my mother said, the thing is laws, men are and is laws, men are stupid and women crazy. apparently women are crazy. but apparently according sadiq khan today, according to sadiq khan today, if a woman's if you say a woman's crazy, that's very, and that's very, very bad and doesn't fit in with the hashtag mate that he's doing, are

mate thing that he's doing, are we all of mental health we taking all of mental health a bit seriously? because know, bit seriously? because you know, what think there isn't what do you think is there isn't there stoicism in there a place for stoicism in masculine city? well, there is a there is a place for stoicism. >> and that is why speaking to men in to therapies who men in or to therapies who haven't been captured by a very sort of feminist narrative , sort of feminist narrative, which i'm afraid a lot of them have been, that's why, you know, that kind of narrative, that kind of conversation , action is kind of conversation, action is generally better for as generally better for men. and as you said, the wisdom of the elders. do live in an upside elders. we do live in an upside down culture in that it's all about every team. know, it's about every team. you know, it's nothing teenagers nothing new about teenagers thinking. the thinking. they know all the answers. what is new is answers. but what is new is adults with them. adults agreeing with them. that's that's crazy. and that's the bit that's crazy. and it's doing the teenagers any it's not doing the teenagers any good, certainly not good, and it's certainly not doing the adults who are listening them any listening to them any good. kevin really need you kevin i really, really need you to and speak in. to come and speak in. >> my son's school as well because they'll do, i mean, not just in my son's school, but in schools across the country. one kid will punch another kid and they'll all sit down and have a conversation about anger management and they'll apologise to no child will

radio. oh sorry. >> hi. nice to see you again. i'm laurence fox. oh and i'm continuing to identify as the man who beat the lib dems in the uxbndge man who beat the lib dems in the uxbridge and rice by—election in great success. now joining me in the studio is political

commentator emma webb and former editor of the mirror. and sextuple jabbed paul connew. but before that , we have a response before that, we have a response from the bbc from earlier in the covering the by—election in uxbndge covering the by—election in uxbridge and south ruislip the bbc news channel is speaking to the candidates with most evidence of electoral support , evidence of electoral support, as there are 17 candidates standing . standing. >> we couldn't interview them all, but we did make clear to audiences where they can find the full list of candidates along with the videos outlining the plans for the constituency . the plans for the constituency. >> well, there you go . god, >> well, there you go. god, they're so unbiased. it's wonderful. now, i want to start off with the by elections. obviously as you know, i beat 13 other people, including two who had renamed themselves by deed poll. kingsley ulez and danny ulez, i think, and but i also beat the lib dems and came fourth and almost beat the greens, who was sound as well. anyway across the elections

uxbridge, south ruislip, selby and ainsty and somerton and frome labour gained in selby and lib dems gained in sorry, what am i doing? labour gained in selby and lib dems did a gain in selby. thanks acas world's worst thing but most interesting result is uxbridge the hold for the conservatives. i say this because to be the because this seems to be the national issues. the conservatives and their behaviour in recent years were after and apologies to anyone outside of london, but london ulez will be coming to a town near you. so even though it's london centric, we are the guinea pigs for this. and next time be you. there was a time it will be you. there was a monstrous pushback ulez monstrous pushback against ulez and , you like 15 and the ltns emma, you like 15 minute cities and ltns why are you such a terrible leftie ? you such a terrible leftie? >> i think that this is actually if the i'm going to try and give you a serious answer to that. i think i'm so sorry. lawrence i think i'm so sorry. lawrence i think quite seriously, if the conservatives want to win seats in london, places, i'm thinking places like havering, which is my, you know, my home borough , my, you know, my home borough, if they want to do well in those

places, those those are places that are outside of london reasonably rural. they're not really like the other london boroughs, places where people are going to be affected by ulez. but where you have lots of tradesmen, people using vans, people who can't use electric vans as their vehicles because you loads of tools the you put loads of tools in the battery runs out of charge almost immediately those almost immediately. those are the that think just the places that i think just looking result, i hope looking at this result, i hope the conservatives at the conservatives are looking at this in places in this and thinking in places in those those outer boroughs is those in those outer boroughs is that they should be thinking about focusing their election strategy on using ulez as a wedge issue in london to make sure that they don't lose more seats to labour . seats to labour. >> makes sense. sorry, that's very, very serious point. >> your argument. >> your argument. >> but i mean, i don't see why window cleaner shouldn't take 12 foot ladders on the tube, but that's just me. paul why do you insist on maximum freedom for everyone and no ulez charges ? everyone and no ulez charges? >> well, funnily enough on this programme last week i did predict that that even though my labour supporter , the tories

labour supporter, the tories might well hold uxbridge purely on the one issue of ulez . on the one issue of ulez. >> by the way, with your banking problems, how did you manage to pay problems, how did you manage to pay the deposit? you lost? >> i have political parties so i paid the deposit also . paid the deposit also. interestingly, no one won the deposit, but that wasn't really my question. actually, the tories and said, tories and lib dems said, listen, we know you're a free marketeer. we know that you don't care about the poor and disadvantage. don't and put disadvantage. don't try and put it onto me. try and defend it back onto me. try and defend your position that people should it back onto me. try and defend you should. n that people should it back onto me. try and defend you should. why|t people should it back onto me. try and defend you should. why why)ple should it back onto me. try and defend you should. why why aren't|ould it back onto me. try and defend you should. why why aren't we d not should. why why aren't we trying to bring in climate taxes and stuff? and why aren't we trying to protect the environment? you environment? why are you insisting get insisting that someone can get insisting that someone can get in car and drive to the in their car and drive to the beach and have a nice time? >> uxbridge was was clearly a pubuc >> uxbridge was was clearly a public health strong argument for that versus the cost of living crisis, public health. >> what? i beg your pardon? >> what? i beg your pardon? >> because ulez makes sense , but >> because ulez makes sense, but not in the current cost of living crisis , which is why living crisis, which is why we've now this afternoon got keir starmer basically in sharp

disagreement with with the mayor of london. >> they're all in disagreement. the candidate disagreed with the mayor who disagreed with the leader. so basically the they all let's not forget , though, >> let's not forget, though, of course, johnson course, boris johnson was the man originally ulez. man originally behind ulez. >> we can't blame boris >> i know we can't blame boris johnson for everything, can we? or most things we blame or can we? most things we blame me for a lot of the bad green policies. why shouldn't a tradesman get his big ladder and his window cleaning equipment and get on the tube with it? >> because that would be ridiculous. and it's not actually just about calling sadiq khan. yes i am calling sadiq khan. yes i am calling sadiq khan. yes i am calling sadiq khan ridiculous . and not sadiq khan ridiculous. and not just for that. i think to ofcom, i think that it's not just about the tradesmen . this is also just the tradesmen. this is also just about the simple fact that , about the simple fact that, well, firstly, ulez is , is one well, firstly, ulez is, is one in a raft of measures that i think are basically just persecuting drivers. they want drivers off of the road, but also the fact that 15 minute cities, all of these net zero policies, they are inhumane. you

know, the idea of us being custodians of the environment so that human beings have have a nice environment to live in, is very old hat now. now it's about, you know, doing away with human beings in order to save the planet. there's something fundamentally anti—human about this arbitrary target of reaching net zero by 2030. now, i know that there are lots of people who think that climate apocalypse is on the horizon, and therefore that justifies these measures. and we have to do because there was do this now because there was a mad lady from just stop oil who was talking. >> how dare you call her mad? >> how dare you call her mad? >> no. well that's not the views of gb news or any sane person. >> she's insane. thank you. >> she's insane. thank you. >> but so we saw today that there the just stop oil were preventing a lady from getting her baby her newborn baby. we're going to hospital . going to hospital. >> we're getting that. >> we're getting that. >> no, no, no, no, no. we're getting that. >> and also, you're a little bit young to talk about this, which bnngs young to talk about this, which brings me on to the next story. um, we've just had a little

person called keir mather, who's 25. he's been selected as mp for selby in yorkshire. johnny mercer took a stance and said he doesn't want to become the inbetweeners for anyone who's not in the know. it's a show about hapless sixth form students now look, i saw kia, what's her name? mother may the mother. yeah, yeah. so i saw him and i thought, oh, it mother. yeah, yeah. so i saw him and i thought , oh, it doesn't and i thought, oh, it doesn't really matter what age you are because you're just telling them what labour tell you to say. now emma's obviously way too young to have an opinion this, but to have an opinion on this, but as an adult, what do you think about 25 year old who's barely out of nappies making what's being wrong with the 25 being what's wrong with the 25 year mp politics needs to year old mp politics needs to appeal to the young, and that's one the biggest crises we one of the biggest crises we have country on politics have in this country on politics is disillusioned young. have in this country on politics is so sillusioned young. have in this country on politics is so illusioned young. have in this country on politics is so i quite 1ed young. have in this country on politics is so i quite welcome|. have in this country on politics is so i quite welcome that. >> so i quite welcome that. i mean , who knows how good an mp mean, who knows how good an mp who turn out to be. but the fact is, 25 is irrelevant. really? yes it's absolutely irrelevant. >> in the olden days , i was

>> in the olden days, i was always of this sort of view that people did this great job of pubuc people did this great job of public service. and then in the olden they did the public olden days they did the public service and then they they went off become an emma he off to become an mp. emma he wants for 16 wants obviously votes for 16 year everyone would year olds because everyone would vote . what do you think vote labour. what do you think about 25 year mps? vote labour. what do you think aboit 25 year mps? vote labour. what do you think aboi thinkear mps? vote labour. what do you think aboi think that mps? vote labour. what do you think aboi think that we vips? have >> i think that we should have have have situation switched have have the situation switched . so now you seem to get people who parliament very, who come into parliament very, very then they go into very young and then they go into the corporate world and then they life in the they start their life in the real i would prefer to real world. i would prefer to see people who have lived many, many decades, possibly, many years, decades, possibly, you i, i think anybody you know, i, i think anybody below the age of 40 in parliament is quite young to be an mp. but you need a an mp. um, but you need a mixture of the two, just don't interrupt the child. >> she's, you know, i actually do get this very often. >> somebody said to me the other day that they didn't want to listen to me because i was ten year old or something. so i do think that people the age think that people under the age of do have valid things to of 30 do have valid things to contribute. because contribute. and just because he's mean he doesn't he's 25 doesn't mean he doesn't have decent to have something decent to contribute. he he contribute. in my office, he he

seems to have gone straight from university into working in parliament, hasn't obviously had enough time to have very much life experience. he gave a very competent speech when he competent speech earlier when he won seat . but the point is won the seat. but the point is that somebody who's lines it's not that's the problem is it's that somebody who's lines it's not hist's the problem is it's that somebody who's lines it's not his own ie problem is it's that somebody who's lines it's not his own lines.»lem is it's that somebody who's lines it's not his own lines. and is it's that somebody who's lines it's not his own lines. and i; it's that somebody who's lines it's not his own lines. and i think that no young person really, unless you are truly, truly exceptional all is going to be robust enough in their position to resist the party line and to, you know, to have had sufficient experience once to be able to sort of dig their heels screaming at me. >> what do you . all right, fine. >> what do you. all right, fine. i heard that. but no, i'm tooting the halftime horn. sorry. acas is angry. oh, look . sorry. acas is angry. oh, look. oh, god. >> you. >> you. >> i hate you for this cos you're so fired. you're right. you're this is gb news. i need nothing if you want acas fired, smiling face, email him now. i'll be right. and if you want access to your cash, the banks have the power to restrict who

banks with them. and based purely on their views.

footage of this happening. you know, is absolutely know, this is absolutely reprehensible. what kind of person stands there while distraught, mother is screaming that she's trying to get her baby to hospital and then will not move? >> i'm not allowed to say >> well, i'm not allowed to say the insane because that's the word insane because that's not to use that doomsday not allowed to use that doomsday cultist ideological loony bag. and paul, you are sympathetic to the just stop oil cause, aren't you? because you're a weird socialist. >> but i'm not sympathetic if that if that is as it appeared to be, then i would feel if i were a if i were in her shoes, which i can't be because i've got a penis. but but in fact. but if. but if. but if i was driving a small child to hospital, i'd feel the same way . but i am sympathetic to their cause , but not their methodology cause, but not their methodology is sympathetic to you in their cause. because climate change is a, if you like, a burning issue. probably the biggest burning issue. >> what do you say to all of those? what do you say to the fact that they're now measuring temperatures two metres off the ground to make the temperatures

seem hotter and everyone across europe social media europe is filling social media with actual with pictures of the actual temperature as opposed to the temperature that's being promoted covid. promoted by the covid. >> you're sounding like >> mark, you're sounding like a climate change denier. let's let's honest. climate change denier. let's let' the honest. climate change denier. let's let' the world's. yeah, >> the world's arrived. yeah, the climate change denier about it. >> but one of the trouble was is where i sympathise with them where i do sympathise with them when make peaceful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol make peaceful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol like make peaceful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol like that (e peaceful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol like that one. aceful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol like that one. if eful protests where i do sympathise with them vinol like that one. if it's protests genuine. >> it was peaceful. it was just really irritating and it could have. harm have. but the difference in harm to young child. to a young child. >> trouble is, is >> but the trouble is, is the mainstream media, we aren't very good at covering them unless they protests that actually good at covering them unless thethe protests that actually good at covering them unless thethe headlines.�*|at actually hit the headlines. >> so, in fact, do what i did, go and stand parliament go and stand for parliament and get forth and beat the get and come forth and beat the lib . lib dems. >> the police . it didn't >> if the police. it didn't seem to be police presence there. to be any police presence there. >> maybe they just weren't on the were busy the camera, were too busy calling each other may in case they actually arresting me i >> -- >> if kn- 5 don't do something >> if police don't do something to stop people from to stop these people from blocking the roads, we saw blocking the roads, as we saw there , what are people supposed there, what are people supposed to a mother just supposed to do? is a motherjust supposed to do? is a motherjust supposed to allow baby to not get to to allow her baby to not get to hospital if her baby is in

about it. and i thought that was the most interesting bit of polling done in my polling i've ever done in my life, which like there is a climate crisis, he needs to climate crisis, but he needs to do about hence why do something about it, hence why they around in their they all fly around in their silly planes and get on their boats got to go to a boats and i've got to go to a break now coz well then say i've got another minute. she said fine , but of course i don't want fine, but of course i don't want to argue with my producer paul. tell me some interesting things. >> people of course it's difficult to balance and i admit this, a lot of people believe believe in the dangers of climate change but don't want to change their lifestyle . change their lifestyle. >> but do you believe in invalidate the climate change arguments , something you believe arguments, something you believe in, or is it? >> well, i mean, science is something that is always is disputed. there's no such thing as the science . and so as the science. and so scientists , they have evidence. scientists, they have evidence. they discuss things . the idea they discuss things. the idea that you would just believe in something. you often see this with the climate protesters. they say, i don't they say, well, i don't understand but it's you understand it, but it's you know, what scientists
