abdication of responsibility if ministers were to play politics with environmental policies . with environmental policies. chris skidmore says the uk is an international leader in climate action, which has to led billions of pounds worth an investment in green industries. he warns that jeopardising that political record would be bad politics, given that taking action on climate change consistently polls third in the issues that voters care about . issues that voters care about. firefighters in greece are battling blazes as the country swelters through a heatwave supported by water bombers and reinforcements from abroad. emergency crews continued their effort to bring the wildfires under control. the areas affected include parts of athens and some popular holiday spots, including the island of rhodes. greece's climate crisis minister is urging people to remain on guard as temperatures continue to soar to dangerous levels over the coming days. plans to to soar to dangerous levels over

the coming days . plans to scrap the coming days. plans to scrap london evans day travelcard will see them disappear from stations as early as january next year. the paper tickets are mostly used by visitors to the capital who are able to travel throughout the city at no extra cost. well despite selling around a million of the travel cards over the past financial yean cards over the past financial year, offering the tickets costs tfl around £40 million annually, an order issued by london's mayor will see the tickets scrapped next year . supermarkets scrapped next year. supermarkets have more than doubled their margins on fuel since russia's invasion of ukraine. the essay says. asda tesco , morrisons and says. asda tesco, morrisons and sainsbury's were making an average of around 4.7 pence per litre on fuel fuel sales when the ukraine war began last year. the motoring company found this had increased to around £0.10 per litre, leading to higher pump prices. supermarket fuel margins were 2.3 pence per litre
7:04 pm
in 2016. this is gb news we will bnng in 2016. this is gb news we will bring you more as it happens. now, though, back to calvin . now, though, back to calvin. >> when i left the church of england last year after a disagreement over the church's stance on critical race theory, angela tilby wrote in the church times, quote , the affair is times, quote, the affair is monumental own goal for the diocese of london, which will now have to cope with him on tv in his clerical collar as a minister of christ's church, politely but accurately bewailing, our moral and theological spinelessness . miss theological spinelessness. miss tilby and i could not be more politically different. so this was high praise coming from a liberal christian man. but in all honesty, i wish she wasn't right. i wish the church of england would get back to its primary objective of saving
7:05 pm
souls by leading sinners to christ. but week on week they keep providing me with more content . i'd love nothing more content. i'd love nothing more than to say there's no news this week. let's go over to david starkey to discuss henry the eighth. but every time i sit down with my producers to plan the week's show, there's another pronouncement of pronouncement from the church of england going to england on how they're going to further their further accelerate their decline, take on board yet more wokeness attempt to lead wokeness and attempt to lead souls eternal for shame. this souls to eternal for shame. this week we have the doubling down on critical race theory with the pyramid of white supremacy, which is being taught in schools . the church of england's guidance for schools is steeped in the divisive language of critical race theory, in which pupils are taught that avoiding confrontation . ian on the topic confrontation. ian on the topic of race can lead to mass genocide. the documents, which are available to show online show illustrations which demonstrate that white people are higher up on the scales of justice than people of colour and they are either partaking in
7:06 pm
active racism using their privilege or they are passively racist by going along with the system. it teaches that they must be anti—racist . but this must be anti—racist. but this toxic rhetoric designed to divide young people by their immutable characteristics has no place in any school. let alone a christian school. this neo—marxist theory of critical race theory is inherently anti christian racism , of course, is christian racism, of course, is sinful. but to paint it as a sin that only white people can commit and one in which they can never truly repent of is counter scriptural and wrong. whiteness or white privilege is being taught as a new form of original sin inherited from one's parents, but one of which there is no repentance of. there's no forgiveness for and there's no mercy. it's the opposite of the christian message the church of england needs to drop this neo—marxist ideology post—haste and get back to teaching the gospel that through his passion, death and resurrection in christ offers us eternal salvation and
7:07 pm
that god loves us. so much that he sent his only begotten son to die for our sins and that if we repent and have faith in him, we may live forever in his heavenly kingdom. it's a beautiful message. one that does not need a modern upgrade . the schools a modern upgrade. the schools should teaching young should be teaching young christians be born again , to christians to be born again, to be baptised in water and the holy spirit. they should not be teaching white are teaching that white people are evil people colour are evil and people of colour are victims. please bishops and archbishops of the church of england, stop providing us with so much content. i only have one hour a week . hour a week. a christian father removed his nine year old daughter from a school after being horrified by what she was being taught in compulsory sex education lessons. michael docherty removed his daughter from thirst and primary school because teachers wanted to show her a video of a boy getting an
7:08 pm
erection and ejaculating . erection and ejaculating. joining me now is political commentator emma webb and writer and broadcaster matthew stadlen, for in the jewel . we'll do the for in the jewel. we'll do the graphics another time, emma webb, we'll start with you this week . i webb, we'll start with you this week. i mean, this parent had to physically remove his child from school because , first of all, school because, first of all, the school wouldn't share what was being taught. and when he found out what was being taught, they teach his young, they wanted to teach his young, primary girl primary aged girl about erections ejaculating. that erections and ejaculating. that seems appropriate. erections and ejaculating. that seewhat's appropriate. erections and ejaculating. that seewhat's so propriate. erections and ejaculating. that seewhat's so strange e. erections and ejaculating. that seewhat's so strange about this >> what's so strange about this is that the school don't think that this is inappropriate . they that this is inappropriate. they don't think that this even really education. really counts as sex education. as far as i understood from reading the story on this, and i think there a number of think there are a number of problems the first and problems here. the first and primary problem we've we've primary problem that we've we've covered previous weeks. covered this in previous weeks. you church of england you said the church of england giving content much. giving you so much content much. well, this is a story well, you know, this is a story that keeps coming the fact that keeps coming up. the fact that keeps coming up. the fact that parents are being pushed out of their children's education isn't education and that there isn't transparency with schools, particularly with third party resources any third party
7:09 pm
resources and any third party coming into a school and teaching it should be mandatory . it should not be legal for them to teach materials in a school without being transparent about what is being taught. so for start, schools should have for a start, schools should have to transparent and to be transparent and accountable about what they're teaching people's children. parents should involved in parents should be involved in discussions about the curriculum with the school. they should bnng with the school. they should bring parents along with with the school. they should bring butoarents along with with the school. they should bring but ultimately ng with with the school. they should bring but ultimately ,g with with the school. they should bring but ultimately , this h with the school. they should bring but ultimately , this is them. but ultimately, this is this is a problem of what seems to be sort of the shifting shift in lines in society where for some people seem to think that certain things are appropriate for children , not just in an for children, not just in an educational context. we've seen similar things with a recent drag queen performance in in essex. seem to think that essex. yes. seem to think that these are appropriate things that appropriate for that are appropriate for children when anybody has children when anybody who has their screwed on can tell their head screwed on can tell that is absolutely under no that this is absolutely under no circumstances . so circumstances appropriate. so like i said, if this were me and my child was in a school like this, the reason why i would withdraw my child is because i would feel that i could no
7:10 pm
longer trust school to longer trust the school to safeguard my daughter or son. yeah got a child i >> -- >> you're ism >> you're just showing us pictures your beautiful child pictures of your beautiful child . you do this was. . what would you do if this was. this your kid.7 this was your kid.7 >> this was your kid? >> think, first of all, >> so i think, first of all, it's important to overreact. it's important not to overreact. it's not for me to tell other parents how to be parents. but i think there's also risks attached to parents starting to tell schools how to teach. and that's not an absolute bakhmut clearly there are grey areas. i do believe in transparent . we do believe in transparent. we i think we as parents should be informed about what our children are being taught. but but just as we don't want certain muslim parents, do you remember that issue in in the midlands where certain muslim parents, some muslim parents put pressure on a school as to what their children were being taught? so i don't think we want christian parents to be doing something similar. i think there's a if we leave religion out of it for a moment quite well, a important quite well, a very important debate to be had in this area. so with the accessibility of to
7:11 pm
young children, if parents don't get it right and which parent can say absolutely, they know exactly what's going on in their child's bedroom . there are real child's bedroom. there are real issues that have evolved from that, and i don't need to spell them out. pre—watershed but when we were younger , when we were we were younger, when we were growing up, we didn't have that sort of access there. might we might have been just about able to reach to the top shelf in the newsagent. now this stuff and violent stuff is available to children if they know how to circumnavigate parental controls . we and children, i think probably are starting to use in the way that they communicate with each other, the way they behave physically towards each other and the language that they use as well. and so there is , it use as well. and so there is, it seems to me, a response ability to some extent, certainly on parents, but also probably to some extent in schools to help children develop the grammar,
7:12 pm
develop the vocabulary to navigate away from these extremities that my mind doesn't involve. i don't think. but i'm not an expert in this area, doesn't involve showing children inappropriate things in the name of sex education when they're nine years old. and one big concern i have about this and then i'll shut up is that charities , if you believe the charities, if you believe the daily mail , charities, if you believe the daily mail, seem to be filling a hole here. schools have been scrabbling to catch up because it seems that they are being asked to discuss sex education, perhaps at an earlier age and in the past. they are panicking. they don't know necessarily how how to fill that hole. and so charities are then coming in and sort of supply being material that worries me. >> i think you and emma both agree on the issue of third parties coming to schools. it seems everyone sees that as inappropriate. but schools don't know how to fill this that know how to fill this void that they've on by the they've been pushed on by the government. i think one area government. and i think one area you might disagree with, matthew
7:13 pm
here he talked well. he here is that he talked well. he recognised problem, i recognised the problem, but i think solution in that think the wrong solution in that is problem. i suggest is the problem. i would suggest that don't need access that children don't need access to devices in their to smart devices in their bedrooms at all, so they wouldn't any access to. and wouldn't have any access to. and i also think that the research suggests that a lot of liberals say, well, they see this stuff young, going younger, so need young, going younger, so we need to younger and younger to teach it younger and younger actually, replicating actually, that is replicating the problem 100. >> know, think the >> and you know, i think the reason why you don't you know, we should be trying to protect the of children first the innocence of children first and foremost. and you don't and foremost. and if you don't know going on your know what's going on in your child's they shouldn't child's bedroom, they shouldn't have their bedroom have a device in their bedroom unless they are an age where unless they are of an age where you know where that is appropriate. and so there have been lots of discussions recently whether smart recently about whether smart phones, for example, should be banned for under 16 seconds at are not legal for them to own them. i really think that, you know, we should be talking about to how prevent young people from being able to access this stuff in the first place. rather than and what i think showing
7:14 pm
children what i think and we've seen lots of anybody who's on twitter will have seen lots of examples of this books that are clearly at children. i've clearly aimed at children. i've seen them myself, half seen some of them myself, half in hard copy that there are books out there that are being used to teach children sex education that are absolutely inappropriate, that are talking about certain sex acts that i think take away children's innocence and not age appropriate . and you know, that appropriate. and you know, that i think that that is fundamentally the problem, is that i think we as a culture are starting to become far too comfortable with sexualised environments around very young people . well, yeah. and it's people. well, yeah. and it's destroying innocence . destroying innocence. >> i think my problem with what you guys are saying here and i'll say it politely, of course, is that i don't think you're living in the real world as as far as is concerned, parenting . far as is concerned, parenting. we may say that children shouldn't have smartphones before they're 16. do we see
7:15 pm
obviously think that parents are blanketly across the united kingdom are going to implement what you've both suggested that might be the best way forward? it could well be the best way forward, but it's not reality party. and therefore, the question is, if parents are failing or some parents maybe a lot of parents are failing, is it the role of the state to step in? that's a good question. given where we have come in accessibility . as i said in my accessibility. as i said in my earlier answer , um, surely there earlier answer, um, surely there is some degree of responsibility on schools to make sure that children are not sexualised in such aggressive, hostile ways as by, for example, violent without having some recourse to an alternative to being taught , for alternative to being taught, for example, that boys should not talk to girls in aggressively sexualised ways . surely we can sexualised ways. surely we can find some sort of compromise. do i think that prepubescent children should be being taught
7:16 pm
the sort of stuff that we're talking about now? no, i don't. but somewhere in the education system , i hope that there's system, i hope that there's a place for response , sensible place for response, sensible teaching of children. so that boys who are exposed to the sorts of things that we're talking about have as good an opportunity as is possible in the real world. not to go down dark routes . dark routes. >> i'm going to put your question to emma, because when i was teaching the schools that i was teaching the schools that i was involved in leading, we would say to the parents, don't let your child have a smartphone. would smartphone. we would encourage them devices out of them to take the devices out of their child's hands, especially at so we would encourage at night. so we would encourage that thinking that rather than thinking that it's the parent's it's our duty to do the parent's job, think the state does job, do you think the state does have some responsibility here in teaching the that perhaps teaching the things that perhaps some doing? some parents aren't doing? >> would always prefer >> well, i would always prefer for not be for the state not to be involved. so it may be that the state being in this, state being involved in this, for the sale of for example, banning the sale of smartphones under seconds smartphones to under 16 seconds in that you in the same way that you wouldn't allow a you know , wouldn't allow a you know, smartphones have been compared to drugs some to hard drugs in some psychological , chemical psychological studies, chemical studies. and so you know,
7:17 pm
potentially banning the sale of those to under 16. i don't think is too much of a drastic intervention . but ultimately intervention. but ultimately it's parents responsible . it's the parents responsible. rmt so think that under 16 rmt so i think that under 16 should have a dumb phone . they should have a dumb phone. they still have the ability to get google have the google maps. they still have the ability whatsapp ability to have whatsapp messages . they can still contact messages. they can still contact their parents on their way to and from school. that is an acceptable alternative to them having unfettered, unlimited access constantly to the internet day and night. so ultimately it's parental responsibility. >> yeah , whatever. >> yeah, whatever. >> yeah, whatever. >> we they don't have to use a computer unsupervised. children probably spend too much time on computers. they shouldn't have unlimited computers. they shouldn't have unlinamd computers. they shouldn't have unlinam entirely computers. they shouldn't have unlin am entirely on computers. they shouldn't have unlinam entirely on your side as >> i am entirely on your side as far as your ambition goes. what i'm questioning is whether that is feasible in the real world. we know how challenging that would be for parents to police, but we also know, unfortunately , that despite many cases, best intentions, parents fail . some intentions, parents fail. some parents don't get parenting . far parents don't get parenting. far be it from me as a dad to judge
7:18 pm
others. but we know if we're talking in general terms that we've got some pretty poor parents there. we've got some pretty poor parokay, there. we've got some pretty poor parokay, wellare. we've got some pretty poor parokay, well ,'e. we've got some pretty poor parokay, well , let us what >> okay, well, let us know what you in the comments. tweet you think in the comments. tweet us gb plenty more to us at gb news. plenty more to come on this afternoon on my common sense crusade. we'll be joined reverend brett joined by the reverend brett murphy church murphy to discuss the church of england's of the england's sinister use of the pyramid of white supremacy in church of england schools. see
7:21 pm
>> you're listening to gb news radio . earlier on gb news radio radio. earlier on gb news radio rishi sunak is apparently . rishi sunak is apparently. >> welcome back to the common sense crusade with me, the reverend calvin robinson on your onune reverend calvin robinson on your online and on your wireless this week , the church of england week, the church of england doubled down on crt with the pyramid of white supremacy being taughtin pyramid of white supremacy being taught in church of england schools. the church of england's guidance for schools is steeped in the divisive language of critical race theory . i'm joined critical race theory. i'm joined by the reverend brett murphy to discuss this madness. father brett, thank you for joining discuss this madness. father brett, thank you forjoining us brett, thank you for joining us again. it's a pleasure to have
7:22 pm
you on the show. good evening, father, on this. let me ask you first and foremost, what is the christian stance on racism ? christian stance on racism? >> um, well, the true christian can't actually ever be a racist because if you really believe the bible and you take god at his word, you'll see that all human beings are made in margot day, which is a fancy theology way of saying in the image of god . so if every single human god. so if every single human being is made in god's image , being is made in god's image, then the level of melanin in your skin to change your skin tone means very little or nothing except for, say, ethnic cultures which can be celebrated. their beautiful things, the variety of the human race. but there's only one race. the human race. so i think if you take a genuinely biblical worldview , you it's impossible worldview, you it's impossible to actually be a racist inherently not racist. >> but the church of england is going a step further and saying you have to be actively anti—racist. and if you're not, if not, what's the word? if you're not, what's the word? conflicting or if you're not
7:23 pm
actively confronting racism, then it leads to mass murder. they've put out this this pyramid of white supremacy . ac pyramid of white supremacy. ac you go from indifference up to minimisation and then you've suddenly entered veiled racism, which leads to discrimination in calls for violence. kkk burning crosses . and then you've got crosses. and then you've got violence, including lynching and hate crimes, and then you end up in mass murder from not confronting racism, from not being actively anti—racist. now, this doesn't seem to me to fall in line with what i've read in the scriptures, but maybe you've got a different take. father brett well , it just depends on brett well, it just depends on what they define as anti racism. >> so they've defined it as something unscriptural . so which something unscriptural. so which seems to be the trend for the church of england these days. they have decided to go along with something based on secular cultural marxism that pyramid actually causes a division between ethnicities in the human race, the single race that all people belong to, the children of god . and unfortunate thing of god. and unfortunate thing
7:24 pm
about that is they could actually present a really positive world view. yeah, we should actively be opposed to racism from a biblical standpoint, but because they've drifted so far from the bible, they then therefore look out to other sources to find some sort of way to interpret the world. and also they just want to woke virtue signal and you end up with this kind of wacky stuff which is so far from scripture . which is so far from scripture. it's it's laughable . it's a joke. it's laughable. >> yeah. i don't even think it's just far from scripture. i think it's counter scriptural. i think the of supremacy and the idea of white supremacy and white privilege is, is trying to undermine original undermine the idea of original sin replace it. as i spoke sin and replace it. as i spoke aboutin sin and replace it. as i spoke about in my monologue with whiteness, that you cannot whiteness, a sin that you cannot repent cannot be repent of and you cannot be forgiven it's bizarre to me. forgiven of. it's bizarre to me. but brett, is this one of but father brett, is this one of the you ended up leaving the reasons you ended up leaving the reasons you ended up leaving the recently? the church of england recently? >> one of the many >> yes, it's one of the many reasons why departed from the reasons why i departed from the c so the sort of i think c of e, so the sort of i think the woke path they're on is a dead end. god won't bless it. and it also means they get very hostile towards people who hold
7:25 pm
firm to the bible. and you see you report on lots of this father. they don't like people who stand firm on the truth and they don't want them around in their so i didn't want their churches. so i didn't want to part of a church that to be a part of a church that had embraced sort had embraced that sort of stuff. so i departed. >> welcome to the free >> well, welcome to the free church of england, it's church of england, brother. it's good you. good to have you. thank you. where find more where can people find out more about mission, your about your mission, your ministry? you want to your ministry? you want to plug your youtube channel? ministry? you want to plug your youtube they nel? ministry? you want to plug your youtube they search my name, >> so if they search my name, rev murphy, find rev brett murphy, they'll find me on socials and they can also search for new church plant, search for my new church plant, my church , emmanuel free my gafcon church, emmanuel free church morecambe church of england, morecambe as always, to speak to you. always, lovely to speak to you. >> thank you very much what >> thank you very much for what you're keep fighting the you're doing. keep fighting the good fight for the faith. now i'm bring dualists i'm going to bring my dualists into conversation. i'll into this conversation. i'll start this time, start with you this time, matthew. we don't confront matthew. if we don't confront racism, murderers racism, we end up mass murderers joining burning crosses joining the kkk, burning crosses and lynching black folk. >> we could just again, if >> so if we could just again, if you'll permit me to strip religion out this for religion out of this for a moment, focus the needs and moment, focus on the needs and the interests of children. the best interests of children. so school , whatever so whatever school, whatever school is , and i think it's
7:26 pm
school this is, and i think it's over the top and slightly extreme to codify the way that racism manifests itself in society . 80s into a pyramid . and society. 80s into a pyramid. and i also think though it is an interesting challenge, just as we were talking earlier about to how communicate properly with children about the challenges facing them as they develop as sexual beings. so this is a challenge because clearly racism exists in our society, in britain and any racism is too much racism . but at the same much racism. but at the same time, we don't want to overemphasise difference in children because what we know or what we hope we know is that when children start out in life, they don't care what skin colour you are. they don't care what religion on you are. they don't care what ethnicity you are , and care what ethnicity you are, and you go to the vast majority of schools in london and it is a melting pot. so to start at a young age and i don't know what age this pyramid is targeting, but to start at a young age, it's fine to discuss this at
7:27 pm
a—levels or gcses, but to start too , i think, risks too young, i think, risks driving people a little further apart than perhaps bringing them together. that isn't to say that understanding what white privilege means and the problem is as well that can be associated with that term, unpacking that really trying to have a useful conversation around it in schools, in some form, in some classes , in some form, in some classes, in some subjects, isn't a useful thing because i think it probably is okay. >> emma i tend to think that white privilege is an inherently divisive term that comes from neo—marxism, which is designed actually to divide us and break us down into subgroups for, for a dynamic that the left a power dynamic that the left can use to control us and win our votes. i don't think it has any place in any school. maybe a debate in university, but certainly in tertiary certainly not in tertiary education. your stance? education. what's your stance? >> it's also >> i also i think it's also particularly to a horrible particularly to use a horrible turn of phrase from the other side, harmful. it's side, harmful. i think it's problematic, it's but problematic, isn't it? it's but for for young for particularly for young working class boys who we know from studies are the most
7:28 pm
disadvantaged in education in terms of educational outcomes , terms of educational outcomes, as we've seen cases where there have been special schools set up to help people of non—white backgrounds is ignoring the fact that it's working class boys that it's working class boys that are falling behind to tell somebody that they are privileged . and when it's not privileged. and when it's not their experience , when they know their experience, when they know that their family, for example, when we talk about reparations, their family didn't contribute to slavery. you know, if their ancestors were, you know, my miners, many, many, many generations back, not slave owning for example, not to suggest that if they were, they should pay reparations. but you see, where i'm going with this? i think that that is ugly . and i i think that that is ugly. and i think telling telling some children that they are privileged and telling people from non—white backgrounds that they are therefore victims is really disempowering. and catherine birbalsingh has talked about this particular issue in the context of her own school. i think very powerfully . can i think very powerfully. can i just if i can just briefly say, i think that the way that your
7:29 pm
guest put it, i think is beautiful, because i do want to bnng beautiful, because i do want to bring christianity back into this , because i do think that this, because i do think that this, because i do think that this is anti scriptural. well, i think that this is , as he said, think that this is, as he said, this are ideas that are this these are ideas that are totally extraneous to christianity and very much the sort of that the heavy is sort of thing that the heavy is into at the moment. and when they talk about being anti—racist than racist , anti—racist rather than racist, what they're saying is that they don't in the don't they don't believe in the traditional fact, traditional in fact, christianity in christianity is very much in line the martin luther line with the martin luther king. you know, judging people by the content of their character, the colour of character, not the colour of their it's colour—blind. their skin. it's colour—blind. and the new anti—racism is and but the new anti—racism is not colour—blind. it doesn't. it thinks colour—blind thinks that being colour—blind is . and so i think that, is racist. and so i think that, you know, if the church of england would just stick to scripture, then they could be a beacon for this country . beacon for this country. >> that's a groundbreaking idea. emma. i know , isn't it? emma. i know, isn't it? >> i do. i think the problem >> but i do. i think the problem here is that the church of england, as we've discussed on every single show, kelvin, they're bringing in that they're bringing in ideas that are christianity are extraneous to christianity and that is problem.
7:30 pm
and that that is the problem. just to up on christian just to pick up on the christian angle. by the way, i'm a lapsed >> and by the way, i'm a lapsed christian. was confirmed when christian. i was confirmed when i and it was a big thing i was 13 and it was a big thing for me believing in god and believing that jesus was the son of god. and first of all, my belief jesus was the of belief that jesus was the son of god evaporated when i was about 15 because i couldn't 15 years old because i couldn't augn 15 years old because i couldn't align myself with some of the things that he was quoted as saying. and it was a sort saying. and then it was a sort of progression on to another year when i was about 16, when i lost my faith in god. i still, by the say prayers at by the way, say my prayers at night i find it a really night because i find it a really helpful way to get in touch with one's self. you can one's deeper self. and you can dismiss you want. you dismiss that if you want. you can critical it. but i say can be critical of it. but i say my family prayer, say the my family prayer, i say the lord's prayer doesn't mean i believe literally in god, but i see a huge amount in see a huge amount of positive in the christian religion. but it is important to remember when we talk scriptural and talk about scriptural and counter that there counter scriptural, that there is a whole panoply, a whole range of people who subscribe to christianity. as you know, you've left the church of england. i nearly said you've
7:31 pm
left the bank of england because we're talking a lot about the bank of england by the just bank of england by the bank just yet. view, yet. but you have one view, other have other views. other others have other views. and people interpret the scriptures. interpret the scriptures. people interpret the bible very, very different scriptures. people interpret the bible some(, very different scriptures. people interpret the bible some(, very (interpret ways. some people interpret it literal, interpret literal, some people interpret it, literally park that for a second. just go to second. let's just go back to white privilege, i think white privilege, because i think this important. this is really important. i think degree think there's a degree of disingenuous ness on sides disingenuous ness on both sides when it comes to the term white privilege. okay so what it privilege. okay so what does it mean? i obviously didn't coin this phrase, but i think the disingenuousness should we disingenuousness on should we just say the left and just loosely say the left and again, the left is full of a range of views is that they overlook some of these people. the fact that , as emma says, the fact that, as emma says, white working class children are amongst and sometimes the most disadvantaged people in the country. okay. so therefore, to tell young white children that they are somehow privileged, that's offensive. is well, it's problematic to say the least . problematic to say the least. good work. the disingenuousness on the other side is to deny that some form of white privilege exists. and i can give you the most simple example to
7:32 pm
explain. okay, so hold that, because i'm going to be i'm going to be one of those people. >> i don't think white people inherently have a privilege just based the of their based on the colour of their skin, because think privilege skin, because i think privilege is temporary, right? sometimes i have privilege. in have tall privilege. when i'm in a can look over a crowd, i can look over people's heads. i don't get claustrophobe but when claustrophobe phobic. but when i'm can't stand i'm on the tube, i can't stand up. hunched over. i come off up. i'm hunched over. i come off it looking like quasi modo. so my height changes on my height privilege changes on my height privilege changes on my environment. >> i don't think is >> i don't think height is a useful analogy because it's an immutable characteristic. useful analogy because it's an ieright?3 characteristic. >> right? >> right? >> you're a useful analogy >> right? >> race.'ou're a useful analogy >> right? >> your'ou're a useful analogy >> right? >> your skin; a useful analogy >> right? >> your skin colourful analogy >> your skin colour is inherently a privilege or a disadvantage that changes on circumstance. >> just explain. mean, >> let me just explain. i mean, clearly we lived in a clearly we if we lived in a world and some people might suggest we that has sort of suggest we are that has sort of attempted of attempted in the act of balancing things out. but overall balanced and overall has over balanced and said we can't have any said okay we can't have any white presenters well white presenters on tv. well we're let's be we're pretty much let's be honest being white would in honest then being white would in that context not a privilege that context not be a privilege for but i don't that's for me. but i don't think that's the situation. i'm not on the situation. if i'm not on tv enough, that's down me. what enough, that's down to me. what admitted enough, that's down to me. what adr matthew what white privilege? >> matthew what white privilege? >> matthew what white privilege? >> what white privilege means
7:33 pm
is, think, quite is, i think, quite straightforward . and it means straightforward. and it means that one of my friends who is black has consistently , as he's black has consistently, as he's told me, been followed around supermarkets. he's just as british as i am, just as british as we are. he's about my age and he's been consistently followed around supermarkets by security guards because okay guards because he's black. okay so and as a white person , i so and as a white person, i don't get followed around supermarkets that mean supermarkets. that doesn't mean to that in other respects he to say that in other respects he might not have more privilege. so he has been white person. so he has been a white person. >> you believe in black privilege? >> i don't believe in black privilege. is privilege. what i do believe is in overwhelmingly majority in overwhelmingly white majority country, racist country, where some racist attitudes exist. not everyone's racist means is that racist by any means is that there are ways in which white people are privileged . white people are privileged. white working class people are , in working class people are, in some cases, under privileged , as some cases, under privileged, as emma has said. but in other ways, and this is why it's difficult in other ways they are privileged because they will not be. and this is just one example of white privilege. they won't be followed around supermarkets in the that belief in the way that my your belief structure is inconsistent.

7:41 pm
and shocking scenes of naked men in the streets or very, very sexualised with kids. >> onlooking and i thought that , you know, today i'm going to to take twitter and say something and i wasn't being hateful at all, merely stating the biblical truth, which is my right to do so. >> you're seeing children being sexualised. you're seeing men fully grown men in in nude behaviour, sexualised behaviour around children . you're around children. you're objecting to that. that sounds like a never a christian like a never mind a christian message. sounds like message. it sounds like a conservative stance to me, but what the conservative what was the conservative party's reaction? >> conservative party >> well, the conservative party suspended me 21 days for 21 days. the leader of the conservative part of the local conservative part of the local conservative party. and i asked him why i was being suspended. kelvin and he he said that the party are allowed to suspend for 21 days without any without any actual sanction. >> so the coward didn't want to tell you why he'd suspended you? >> not at all. no so i'm now indefinitely suspended. there was a meeting on on monday that
7:42 pm
ratified my indefinite suspension until hq concludes their investigation . right. their investigation. right. >> and is this a conservative council or a labour run council? it's a conservative council, right. because i believe the leader of the council, councillor jason smithers, said nonh councillor jason smithers, said north northants is an inclusive group , so this doesn't seem very group, so this doesn't seem very inclusive to me, inclusive of everyone but christians . everyone but christians. >> i think it's i think it's disingenuous for organisations that to be inclusive , find that claim to be inclusive, find it very easy to exclude belief in christians. your standard christian beliefs has been around for thousands of years . around for thousands of years. >> could i just come in to a couple of quick things? first of all, i don't know whether you've ever been to the notting hill carnival, but i was and carnival, but i was born and brought up notting hill, and brought up in notting hill, and you see some of the you should see some of the outfits or absence of outfits at notting hill carnival and you will have children to the will have children going to the carnival, have i did carnival, as i have done. i did all through my all the way through my childhood. i can tell childhood. and i can tell you now that didn't feel as a now that i didn't feel as a child i was being child that i was being sexualised by it. i just ask you a quick question, may. do a quick question, if i may. do you that homosexuality is you think that homosexuality is
7:43 pm
a sin? >> i think you have to answer that question. well, mean, you that question. well, i mean, you know, i think it doesn't know, i think i think it doesn't have because of on have the answer because of on a free speech. >> i'll tell you. >> i'll tell you. >> yeah. yeah. free speech doesn't mean to answer doesn't mean you have to answer every question. doesn't mean you have to answer eveyou uestion. doesn't mean you have to answer eveyou uestio have but it'd >> you don't have to, but it'd be what you're trying to do be odd what you're trying to do there is target him and take away what he was saying about sexualising put it sexualising children and put it down views on down to his views on homosexuality. disingenuous. >> no, addressed the >> no, i've addressed the sexualising >> no, i've addressed the sex i'msing >> no, i've addressed the sex i'm now moving >> no, i've addressed the sexi'm now moving on answer >> i'm now moving to on answer your question. first of all, allow your guests to answer the question. the question. i'll give them the opportunity first opportunity to. but first of all, i want address your all, i want to address your first point, and i want to get emma this, what we're emma on this, because what we're seeing matthew is trying seeing here is matthew is trying to conflate notting hill carnival to take carnival and choosing to take his event that is his kids to an event that is surrounded by semi—nudity and painting same as painting that as the same as pride, have actual pride, where we have actual debauchery and degeneracy around children. >> down the garden >> it's right down the garden path, it? i actually path, isn't it? i actually remember when i was child, remember when i was a child, i was central london and there was in central london and there was in central london and there was a naked bike ride and i can tell you that felt traumatised tell you that i felt traumatised by and never forgotten tell you that i felt traumatised by ind never forgotten tell you that i felt traumatised by ind so |ever forgotten tell you that i felt traumatised by ind so some orgotten tell you that i felt traumatised by ind so some of|otten tell you that i felt traumatised by ind so some of the n tell you that i felt traumatised by ind so some of the stuff what i saw. so some of the stuff that you see at some pride
