faith. he said those who argue homosexuality is sinful cannot choose which of the ten commandments they like or don't like. so i wanted to take a moment to talk about why the shadow health secretary is right. accidentally right? of course, because ignorant course, because his ignorant statement rooted biblical statement is rooted in biblical illiteracy . but in his poor illiteracy. but in his poor attempt to be disparaging towards christians, actually towards christians, he actually makes point. yes makes a fair point. yes christians are called to obey all ten commandments. we cannot pick and choose which commandments we obey, and we cannot ignore any of them . to cannot ignore any of them. to break one is to break them all. the epistle of james chapter two, verse ten, reads for whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. however mr streeting seems to be confused when he speaks of christians against gay marriage . the against gay marriage. the bible's teaching on issues of holy matrimony and sexual city are not founded exclusively in the ten commandments. the seventh commandment is thou shah seventh commandment is thou shalt not commit adultery, which means one should not cheat on one's spouse and one should not

have intercourse with anyone else's would a else's spouse. that would be a sin. but the bible is also teaching us that fornication is a sin, which means that any sex outside of marriage is a sin. additional to that, the bible teaches that is a sin and other homosexual activities. it's important to be clear on this, describing something as sinful isn't a judgement from one man to another. it's god's word for an action or thought which separates us from him . god is separates us from him. god is love and god wants the best for us. he teaches us, as any father would, what is good and what is not good for us. he gave us his word so that we might know how to follow his divine order. we have free will, so we may choose not to. and that is sinning. the bible also teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman. it's monogamous and it's heterosexual . that is a heterosexual. that is a definition shared with pretty much all of human history christians, atheists and those of other faiths. until about five minutes ago. it used to be that words had meanings and we all knew what marriage meant .

all knew what marriage meant. there are no christians against gay marriage because christians are in favour of marriage. and christians understand that gay marriage is an oxymoron . don't marriage is an oxymoron. don't get me wrong. some people are same sex attracted and there is something to be said for those who and manage to live lives who are and manage to live lives as saints. following the teachings scriptures and teachings of the scriptures and living life. singleness living a chaste life. singleness can be a good and holy thing for those who are not called to marriage . but there's such marriage. but there's no such thing a christian context as thing in a christian context as gay marriage, and any sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful. is the christian sinful. that is the christian faith . there is no cherry faith. there is no cherry picking there, it's high picking there, and it's high time our politicians stopped attacking christians for following faith, as following our national faith, as we for nearly we have done for nearly 2000 years. as the message isn't that some people are sinners and we should judge them for it. the message is that we are all sinners different ways and we sinners in different ways and we must repent of our sins and have faith christ. is how we faith in christ. that is how we are saved, a firming our are saved, not by a firming our sinful but by helping each sinful ways, but by helping each other to sin. no more .

other to sin. no more. the vice president of programs at peta , peta, sent a letter to at peta, peta, sent a letter to the old bulldog pub group asking them to rename their pub to the old mutt in the belief that this move will help avoid promoting deformed and flat faced dogs and instead help promote mixed breed dogs who are healthier and live longer . the letter concluded longer. the letter concluded with peta offering a contribution to any cost in order to change the name and signs at the pub. so should the pub change its name from the old bulldog to the old mutt, all of which brings me to tonight's dual. which brings me to tonight's dual . task. the which brings me to tonight's dual. task. the name of the pub , the old bulldog, really promote breeding of pedigree dogs. joining me now on my dual lists, emma webb, uk director of the common sense society, and andrew wyborn, a futurist and lawyer. andrew futurist , absolutely. >> and i knew you were going to

say that. so what we do, we work around the world helping companies ascertain what the opportunities are and the threats for our things in the future. i talk a lot about al. i talk about technology on that sort basis, talk sort of basis, talk about changing pub names and why it's so bad, right, on that sort of basis. you look at basis. because if you look at the pub it all the history of pub names, it all goes to the romans who used goes back to the romans who used to distinguish what a pub or a place where you could have a glass of wine was as opposed to a and they a general residence. and they used little vine leaves used to put little vine leaves up that when they up to indicate that when they came britain, obviously came over to britain, obviously vine were not so vine leaves were not so prominent, so they would get a bush and they would put that up, which to names such as which gave rise to names such as the the bird and the the bush and the bird and the bush so and so forth. it bush and so on and so forth. it then changed. in 1393, there was an parliament when king an act of parliament when king richard, the second it richard, the second made it compulsory that you have compulsory that you would have a pub identified by a sign, and so you would then get things like the crown because they wanted to be to the king. you would be loyal to the king. you would have the red hart, have things like the red hart, the hart, the red lion, the white hart, the red lion, all sorts things, the all sorts of things, the heraldry. that's where all

heraldry. that's where it all came so old dog, not came from. so the old dog, not just dog fighting, but just about dog fighting, but it's reference that. it'd it's a reference to that. it'd be about heraldry, things be a bit about heraldry, things like the, which that they like the, which is that they have two sort of place have on number two sort of place like was actually at like that. it was actually at fighting, you'd have look fighting, so you'd have to look at pubs and change it on at all the pubs and change it on that sort of basis. but the sign is essential part of the is an essential part of the british we shouldn't be british pub and we shouldn't be messing it. i'm with you. messing with it. i'm with you. >> amen. thank you. >> amen. thank you. >> you. there we go. >> thank you. there we go. >> thank you. there we go. >> is not getting much of a >> this is not getting much of a i love that bit of history. >> there this pub in >> there that this pub in particular, emma, was named because owner. he because of the owner. well he was his rescue dog. was inspired by his rescue dog. he a bulldog that he he has a bulldog that he rescued, so he named it after his dog. do think it's his dog. do you think it's promoting the rescuing of bulldogs? it could? bulldogs? do you think it could? peter right. peter could be right. >> i just think this is so >> no, i just think this is so stupid. they're petty busybodies. it's busybodies. yeah, and it's something is so sort of something about it is so sort of arrogant churlish and arrogant and churlish and disrespectful owner disrespectful to the owner of the the way the the pub. even the way that the letter is addressed to him is just so disrespect awful. yeah. firstly, you say, there's firstly, like you say, there's an origin story behind this name and seen peter obviously and we've seen peter obviously hooking themselves onto this trend we've seen with black

trend that we've seen with black lives where people will lives matter, where people will try bully a pub into changing try to bully a pub into changing its because regarded its name because it's regarded as they've managed to as offensive. they've managed to come some way in which come up with some way in which this relation to this is offensive in relation to animal . and now they're animal rights. and now they're trying pub into trying to bully this pub into saying if you don't do this saying that if you don't do this , promoting the bad , then you're promoting the bad breeding of animals. i love animals. i also have concerns about breeding. but it's also i think we have to recognise that they've gone for the bulldog and look at that beautiful bulldog. this is a national symbol of british identity . so they're british identity. so they're also they've just happened to pick on a pub name that isn't just a dog that may have some breeding issues, but also a dog thatis breeding issues, but also a dog that is symbolic. it's associated with who ? churchill. associated with who? churchill. somebody else who has been attacked by the vandals and iconoclasts in relation to other progressive movements. so i think that this is disingenuous nonsense from them. and they need to be treated. they need to be treated like children. they need to be told no in the way that you would tell a child no. >> yeah, absolutely. andrew i'm

glad emma touched on that because they've for because they've also called for the churchill dog to retired because they've also called for thewell. chill dog to retired because they've also called for thewell. and dog to retired because they've also called for thewell. and it's| to retired because they've also called for thewell. and it's not retired because they've also called for thewell. and it's not just ztired because they've also called for thewell. and it's not just thed as well. and it's not just the insurance company. it is like. mrs. it's a british institution, absolutely . absolutely. >> interesting as >> and what's interesting as well, doesn't just well, and it doesn't just stop there, whole wokery, there, this whole wokery, because change the because they tried to change the ploughman's lunch in a pub in dartmouth and they wanted to call the plough person's lunch because thought it would because they thought it would be i know it's wonderful stuff, isn't it? it has to stop the plough people today. love the plough people today. i love the alliteration, you could alliteration, though. you could have a post person, have a postman, a post person, all things. it all these sort of things. it makes lot modern plough. makes a lot of modern plough. >> offended a person >> women so offended a person whole as opposed to a manhole. >> those citizens i think we >> all those citizens i think we have there is a serious have to there is a serious issue. serious issue is issue. the serious issue is sometimes inbreeding of issue. the serious issue is sometltles inbreeding of issue. the serious issue is somet it is. inbreeding of issue. the serious issue is somet it is . inbreeding of issue. the serious issue is somet it is . and 1breeding of issue. the serious issue is somet it is . and ifreeding of issue. the serious issue is somet it is . and if youing of issue. the serious issue is somet it is . and if you lookf issue. the serious issue is somet it is . and if you look at dogs. it is. and if you look at the history the bulldog, the history of the bulldog, that's happen. that's what tend to be happen. it tend to be some of it was fairly cosmetic as to why they did it. and a of these dogs, did it. and a lot of these dogs, which are very snuff noses, it's basically for basically very difficult for them and have them to breathe. and you have similarly cats, adore similarly with cats, we adore cats and all sorts of animals, but they've been bred in a certain are for

certain way which are for cosmetic reasons. i think cosmetic reasons. and i think you're to look at that. is you're right to look at that. is that and it's cruel. that the right and it's cruel. >> cruel. mean, some of >> it's cruel. i mean, some of these they can't these animals, they can't exercise health is exercise their health is impacted and the point impacted by this. and the point that they make that, you know, a mutt live longer, it's mutt will live longer, it's just. but you know, maybe they're trying to use this as a way raising some way of raising getting some attention their cause. but attention for their cause. but it's a disingenuous it's clearly a disingenuous attack trying attack on this pub trying to basically bully and pressure them into changing the name away from something. and you as from something. and if you as you you know, the you mentioned, you know, the historic pub part historic basis, pub names, part of this is the erasure of history. this is erasing our ability to meet our history in our daily life. some of these pub names are ancient. absolutely they go they go back to periods of time where you didn't even have the names written on the pubs. it would have just been an image. and in this the case of this particular pub, you mentioned, calvin, pub, as you mentioned, calvin, you has it's yes, you know, this has it's a yes, it's a history, but it's it's a modern history, but it's a distinctive reason for a good distinctive reason for that pub name. and i think that peter just need to get you mustn't rewrite history. >> and the reason for a lot of

the pub signs originally was because illiteracy was obviously enormous. order to enormous. so in order to identify, these identify, you had these particular what particular pictures. and what tends they tend to tends to happen, they tend to follow particular things, whether hunting whether it's hunting or they followed heraldry. we followed heraldry. the reason we have i think there was 150 families that have a red lion as part of their emblem. so what then happens is we have about 600 pubs called the red lion because it followed that sort of stuff, but calling it the old mutt is deliberately derogatory , isn't it? it's sort of where you go for hair of the dog deliberately. you work on that sort of principle. so it has to be peter do some great be wrong. peter do some great jobs , but i think this is not jobs, but i think this is not going help cause. can going to help their cause. can we just remind ourselves we can we just remind ourselves that, same people that, peter, are the same people who wanted to replace to kill two stone, to two birds with one stone, to feed two birds with one stone with one stone? >> that's how seriously we should >> that's how seriously we shothey it a scone as >> they called it a scone as opposed to a scone. >> outrageous. that's >> that's outrageous. that's just they're not actually >> so they're not actually animal rights activists this animal rights activists at this point, though, because they're not radicals not protecting their radicals like their radical. >> and like i say, love >> and like i say, i love animals. i about animal

animals. i care about animal rights. don't want animals rights. i don't want animals to being be bred a way that being be bred in a way that makes suffer makes them makes them suffer and makes them live but peter, live shorter lives. but peter, have they're so radical in some of suggestions it'll just of the suggestions it'll just it's not radicalism so much as a silliness. very difficult silliness. it's very difficult to and just to take them seriously and just like, just stop. are doing like, just stop. oil are doing damage to the cause that they're trying to put forward. and as many environmentalists recognise, actually on their own side , so too are peter, i think, side, so too are peter, i think, doing damage to the cause of animal rights because there are many people who won't be on their side because they're being so silly. >> you're absolutely actually, we are. >> we are. the great british pubuc >> we are. the great british public yes. we public love animals. yes. we would totally on their side would be totally on their side if they weren't alienating people stupid suggestions people with stupid suggestions like that has be an essence >> and that has to be an essence of anybody trying communicate of anybody trying to communicate and people it's and persuade people because it's actually honey , there's actually it's honey, there's more sort of effective than than the stick, isn't it? and you work on that sort of basis because lot of people, as because a lot of people, as you rightly they alienate rightly say, they alienate people just stop. oil is a classic example. i don't know anybody there not part

anybody out there who's not part of stop oil thing. of the just stop oil thing. who would their actions. would support their actions. they but they might support hanger, but you look at certain of you need to look at certain of the issues. but it in this the issues. but doing it in this way is backfiring. and way actually is backfiring. and i think peter have got the same problem. i think if you look problem. and i think if you look at about the sensible thing at talk about the sensible thing about how about breeding, talk about how it's the animals and so it's bad for the animals and so on, and so forth, but don't go changing heritage. on, and so forth, but don't go changin make heritage. on, and so forth, but don't go changinmake aeritage. on, and so forth, but don't go changinmake a fairge. on, and so forth, but don't go changinmake a fair point >> you make a fair point because, peter, are known for trolling online, trolling people online, especially on social media, almost you could almost to the point you could say, bullying and harassment. say, of bullying and harassment. and i don't think that wins people your cause, people over to your cause, george, or not. >> war said shed more light >> war. war said shed more light and less heat and you might persuade people. >> heard similar >> and emma, we heard similar things. i do think this things. i mean, i do think this is virtue signalling. you know, the used to be called the the pub used to be called the sea don't think anyone sea lion. i don't think anyone would that's the would say that's promoting the breeding so it's a breeding of sea lions. so it's a ridiculous suggestion. but i remember nana's show on this remember on nana's show on this same bar maybe a year or two ago when talking about the when we were talking about the black being petitioned to be renamed the black renamed because the word black was therefore it was was in it, therefore it was racist, though clearly racist, even though it's clearly there name that was there was a pub name that was called something like, i'm not going to say because it could

going to say it because it could be regarded as a word if be regarded as a swear word if there children watching. there are children watching. >> female >> but the black female dog. >> but the black female dog. >> oh, yes, yes, i do remember. >> and that i think that there was there was an outrage about that sort of stuff. >> right. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> so way, i, i don't >> so in a way, i, i don't really agree with having changed it from the original sea lion because things be the same. >> but it also happens with street names and things like that. you look at some the that. you look at some of the mediaeval street which mediaeval street names, which i won't here because they won't repeat here because they definitely problems definitely would have problems with what with ofcom, but look at what they and it all they were called and it all reflected what to in reflected what tend to happen in those back black boy those back alleys, black boy lane and all those sort of things, and also worse things about people about other things which people can can have a can google it. they can have a look, this is what you've look, but this is what you've got careful of. i think got to be careful of. i think it's wrong do. peter wrong. it's wrong to do. peter wrong. and themselves disservice. >> wonderful there. thank disservice. >> �*vererrful there. thank disservice. >> �*very much. there. thank disservice. >> �*very much. i there. thank disservice. >> �*very much. i say there. thank disservice. >> �*very much. i say debate.'hank you very much. i say debate. thank you much. more thank you very much. plenty more to evening on my to come this evening on my common crusade we'll common sense crusade next, we'll be daniel mcinerney to be joined by daniel mcinerney to discuss video discuss the gut wrenching video that women that shows two christian women being abused and assaulted in india.

soon two kooky women have been assaulted in manipur, india, in the latest example of christians across the world being subjected to gruesome violence in a horrifying video has emerged showing the naked christian women weeping, wincing in pain and begging their attackers to show some mercy. following the videos emergence, india has been put under the spotlight and it has raised huge questions about the failure of the state. the police say they have opened a case of gang rape and arrested a man, adding that others will be held soon. prime minister modi said the incident had shamed india and that no guilty will be spared. joining me now , i have spared. joining me now, i have daniel mckinney, parliamentary officer at open doors uk and ireland. daniel, thank you for joining us again. it's been a while. hope you're well . this is while. hope you're well. this is a horrible story to have you on to discuss, though. thank you. we even show the video we can't even show the video because for because it's too gruesome for our this time of our audience at this time of day. people do want to day. but if people do want to see on twitter, it's on

see it, it's on twitter, it's on social they can check it social media. they can check it out for themselves. what's your take it . take on it. >> i mean, it's horrific. you know, there's no way around it. it really is one of the most sort of abhorrent examples of this that we've seen across india. i mean, we believe that the video is from may. there's been a restriction on communications, on wi—fi communications, on wi—fi communications in the state of manipur since then . so we might manipur since then. so we might expect even more of these videos to come out. unfortunately there has been a trend across india to victimise christian christian communities . victimise christian christian communities. his victimise christian christian communities . his sorry by communities. his sorry by targeting women in particular in particularly violent ways by hindutva hindu radicalists. well what worries me, daniel, is that this is we suspect it was the 4th of may. >> so over two months. now it's gone viral. the government of india are taking action, but it's taken them all this time to do anything about it . and i know do anything about it. and i know that we've heard from the supreme court. they've said that if nothing, if the government does nothing, they they said they will take action. they said we action. if you do we will take action. if you do not. do think there are

not. so do you think there are going to be serious consequences? >> well, certainly so. >> well, i certainly hope so. i mean, have been mean, there have been accusations against the ruling party, the bjp, they've party, the bjp, that they've been to act. they been too slow to act. they certainly now, again , certainly have. now, again, throughout this, there's been some suggestions that there's been sort of complicit ness from the local authorities in particular and from the local police. now narendra modi has said that he'll respond to that with law. with the full force of the law. and i certainly hope that that does cannot does happen, because this cannot be continue with be allowed to continue with impunity, has been doing impunity, as it has been doing across india. >> this is it , across india. >> this is it, isn't it? >> well, this is it, isn't it? the video obviously shows a horrible , horrible incident of horrible, horrible incident of these naked, weeping, these women naked, weeping, wincing. they're in pain. and there's this suggested gang rape. but this is just one incident. we know that since we talked about the 4th may, talked about the 4th of may, since had 120 deaths since then, we've had 120 deaths of we've had of christians. we've had devastation of hundreds of churches, homes, villages and shops. churches, homes, villages and shops . the growing christian shops. the growing christian persecution in this area in particular is a serious concern, andifs particular is a serious concern, and it's growing, is it not? >> absolutely . i mean, christian >> absolutely. i mean, christian persecution across the world,

we've seen growing, you know, decade upon decade since open doors . we've been studying this doors. we've been studying this since 1993. so 30 years now. and you can just see the trends getting worse and worse in india in particular, where there's been an increase introduction of anti conversion laws, particularly targeting hindu converts to christianity. and we will continue to see this grow if impunity is allowed to continue . continue. >> you're very much that was daniel mcenany from open doors uk . thank you for your time uk. thank you for your time today. now i want to see what my panel make of this. andrew, i know you've seen the video. what were your impressions as well? >> it was absolutely horrendous. i it was i did watch it. it was harrowing, word. you see harrowing, was the word. you see this modi to call this and modi was right to call it out and say, look, nobody who's been guilty of these things will go free. so you need to look at these sort of things. my to look at these sort of things. my concern, as you rightly pointed was it took from my concern, as you rightly poin' several was it took from my concern, as you rightly poin' several months ook from my concern, as you rightly poin'several months agofrom my concern, as you rightly poin'several months ago ,om my concern, as you rightly poin'several months ago , several may several months ago, several weeks ago, for this suddenly to become public. and think they become public. and i think they should control should have control the narrative it is

narrative early on. it is deplorable all what happened. absolutely harrowing and disgusting is the word i would use. yeah. >> and andrew makes an interesting i think interesting point. i think the reason viral reason it's gone viral is because lifted their ban because india lifted their ban on for a brief on the internet for a brief penod. on the internet for a brief period . you they suppress period. you know, they suppress free and free free speech over there and free press. do you think that's part of the problem? >> i think think modi >> well, i think i think modi didn't anything this didn't do anything until this went it was went viral. i think it was something like 70 days. and i read the i haven't watched the full video because i don't want to. but i read that in the video. i think one of the women in the video said that the police actually handed the women over to the mob. and so this is some kind of ethnic tribal conflict where essentially one group, the christian group, seemed to have taken the hills and the other group have taken the valley. and i think these women are believed to have been fleeing their village that fleeing from their village that was set on fire when they were surrounded anotherviolent surrounded by another violent mob who then them off and mob who then took them off and everything that you've just described and this is something

the persecution of christians worldwide side is something that has been going on for a very long time. and people like baroness cox , caroline cox baroness cox, caroline cox particularly have been trying to raise awareness of what's been happening in nigeria for to very little avail, actually, because there's not very much interest in these stories. and i think one of the reasons why we don't pay one of the reasons why we don't pay enough attention down here in west, did documentary in the west, i did a documentary not that long ago for adf international, which is a christian legal organisation , christian legal organisation, and through that did an interview with a couple that had fled from pakistan because they'd been imprisoned and put on a debt with a death sentence, they sort of they managed to be sort of extradited away to a safe european country . extradited away to a safe european country. but for a long time they were on death row for charges of blasphemy against them and the situation in pakistan is also awful with mobs attacking villages and so on. and what came out of the interviews that i did for that was that the here in the west,

it seems that there is very little interest in christian persecution worldwide because we've got it into our heads that christianity has some kind of hegemony in western countries and christianity is privileged and christianity is privileged and therefore , you know, can't and therefore, you know, can't christians can't suffer persecution when the reality is that christians are the most persecuted group worldwide. this is happening in so many countries and i'm glad that this video has gone viral, not least because it's forced the indian authorities to pay attention because the supreme court in india basically said if you to the government, if you don't do something about this, then we'll have to. the fact that this has gone viral, the fact that this is at least is getting at least some attention the not attention in the west, not as much should be, i hope much as it should be, i hope will people pay attention will make people pay attention to like open doors like to groups like open doors like adf, christian who adf, like christian concern, who have trying to highlight have been trying to highlight these a very long these issues for a very long time it's not just that time because it's not just that the indian government that is turning a blind to this turning a blind eye to this horrific persecution , this sort horrific persecution, this sort of cleansing ,

horrific persecution, this sort of cleansing, religious of ethnic cleansing, religious genocide that is taking place in, you know, a number of countries , but it's also here in countries, but it's also here in the west, we're just turning a blind eye to it. we're not paying blind eye to it. we're not paying any attention . paying any attention. >> andrew, do think it's a >> andrew, do you think it's a lack political appetite? lack of political appetite? >> there's a couple of >> i think there's a couple of things. in the news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis in the news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis we in the news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis we shine in the news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis we shine a in the news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis we shine a spotlight news >> i think there's a couple of thingzis we shine a spotlight on vs cycle is we shine a spotlight on what incident we what horrible incident and we tend to move on. what i would say in this is we must say in this incident is we must absolutely that the absolutely ensure that the pressure on. modi pressure is kept on. so modi does says he's going to does what he says he's going to does what he says he's going to do to basically stop it do and to basically stop it doesn't matter what the reasons were was sparked. you were that it was sparked. you can those reasons, can understand those reasons, but unacceptable but this is unacceptable on any bafis but this is unacceptable on any basis not about basis. and it's not just about christians. there other christians. there are other various terrible ways and terrible that terrible things that are happening. what happening. i think that's what we to do as a news we need to do as a news organisation. we need to make sure continue to shine a sure that we continue to shine a spotlight to sure that spotlight to make sure that these things don't happen in the future that there is future and that there is actually people actually those people are brought and to brought to justice and to discourage people ever going down again. for down this route again. for anybody , think that's good challenge. >> let's have a bookmark on that topic let's bring back topic and let's bring this back up on the common sense crusade at point in future and at some point in the future and

find actually been find out what has actually been done the government. done by the indian government. but the but i think emma raises the wider in this isn't wider point in that this isn't just this is across the just india. this is across the globe we seem have globe and we don't seem to have any avenue for us in england to help these countries. we're help in these countries. we're all over islam , all about bringing over islam, refugees countries refugees and helping countries that christian. we that aren't christian. but we don't prioritisation for don't have a prioritisation for helping and bringing over christians there is christians that need. there is no joined up thinking and actually this is one of the reasons we need reasons why i think that we need to have better controls on migration, sort migration, to not sort of diverge a different subject migration, to not sort of dive but a different subject migration, to not sort of dive but we a different subject migration, to not sort of dive but we needfferent subject migration, to not sort of dive but we need to 'ent subject migration, to not sort of dive but we need to be subject migration, to not sort of dive but we need to be priority act, but we need to be priority missing people who really need to be here. >> there are people are >> there are people who are being blasphemy being persecuted for blasphemy in are people in pakistan. there are people who entire who are having their entire villages set on fire. i think it's 140 people, mostly from that christian tribe that have been killed in this ethnic conflict. that's taking place in manipur. you know , we need to be manipur. you know, we need to be prioritising people who really need who really need need our help, who really need to somewhere to be taken somewhere that is safe . and we can't do that if safe. and we can't do that if our resources are stretched and overburdened. people overburdened. so when people make the argument that those who want to have controls on our borders and better sovereignty

over our migration system, that thatis over our migration system, that that is coming from a place of, you know, as the archbishop of canterbury has said, a lack of compassion . they're wrong. we compassion. they're wrong. we need to be helping the people who and we need who really need us and we need to have joined up thinking so that we pressure those that we can pressure those countries where is countries where this is happening to pay happening to, you know, to pay some attention to it. and to make sure that the pressure is constantly kept on them so that this can't happen. but it's also not their home, though. it's not just about >> it's not just about immigration, it is immigration, then it is basically should to basically they should be safe to stay and that's stay in their homes. and that's why we need to shine a spotlight on it. >> d'— @ you both very much. >> thank you both very much. that emma and plenty that was emma and andrew. plenty more evening on my more to come this evening on my common crusade. common sense crusade. next, we'll talking to parent, we'll be talking to a parent, coach on the coach and a freedman on the risks having phones coach and a freedman on the ris schools. having phones coach and a freedman on the ris schools. plus, having phones coach and a freedman on the ris schools. plus, stickg phones coach and a freedman on the risschools. plus, stick aroundzs in schools. plus, stick around to hear olly on his to hear from olly london on his newest madness. newest book, gender madness. back few . back in a few. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello there. i'm jonathan vautrey here with your gb news weather forecast provided by the

gb news. >> welcome back to the common sense crusade with me, the reverend calvin robinson on your tv online. and on your wireless. while technology undeniably offers numerous benefits, it also presents potential hazards, especially when young people are involved. the un's latest education report warns that allowing access to mobile phones

in schools introduces risks, including distraction, disruption, bullying and abuse and can be detrimental to learning. yet others counter that mobile phones were useful for contact parents seeking to strike a balance between connectivity and safeguarding of children's well—being. so should or shouldn't children have phonesin or shouldn't children have phones in schools now joining me, i have anna friedman, a parent coach who works with schools and parents to help improve children's well—being. anna, thank you so much for joining this is this is actually one of my major bugbears. this joining this is this is actually one ofofy major bugbears. this joining this is this is actually one of of the ajor bugbears. this joining this is this is actually one ofof the issues gbears. this joining this is this is actually one ofof the issues i'mars. this joining this is this is actually one ofof the issues i'm most1is is one of the issues i'm most concerned talk about concerned about and talk about most so i'm going to let most often. so i'm going to let you lead with should or you lead with why should or shouldn't allow their shouldn't parents allow their children phones in children to take phones in schools . schools. >> oh, thank you. thank you, calvin , for having me. i'm calvin, for having me. i'm really delighted to be here today. well the unesco report has opened up many questions, and i really welcome the report because it sits among a whole spectrum of regarding technology in education, which is much

needed. this review, this figoun needed. this review, this rigour, these questions is this legislation and everything else that this allows for specific basically the call for bans in on mobile phones, in schools is one segment of this piece is around technology and education. and i'm really in favour of it. i feel for all those reasons you've named the disruption bullying . there's a plethora of bullying. there's a plethora of reasons why why we might not want to have our children have mobile phones in schools. the safeguarding piece is, is something to consider too. in today's society . however the today's society. however the disruption that it wreaks havoc on teachers taking away from their teaching opportunities is really significant. and so i really significant. and so i really welcome this ban and feel like it's a it's an opportune 80

to change a lot of culture and behaviour around device use for children and young people not just in school but outside of school too, because albeit we might be reducing mitigating use in school , this is this will in school, this is this will still fall out to out of school hours, which is has impacts across mental health and so much more for our young people growing up with this complete new phenomenon phenomena that hasn't really been tested or had any of that ever evidence based approach in to order before it's been put into the hands of our young people? absolutely anna. >> the government says that they back headmasters who want to ban school phones in their schools . school phones in their schools. but should they go beyond backing headmasters and encouraging headmasters to ban phonesin encouraging headmasters to ban phones in their schools ? phones in their schools? >> well, the report calls for a context dependent approach. so which which i'm also in favour

of. because if we if we keep really close to the ground and how our students and our school is operating in that context, in that context , then we can that context, then we can produce use solutions that are augned produce use solutions that are aligned and, and, and yes, i would be in favour of headteacher is supporting this ban and because as of all those reasons , as aforementioned . and reasons, as aforementioned. and at the same anna anna friedman, thank you so much for your time today. >> i really appreciate your take on that. i want to bring my panelin on that. i want to bring my panel in on this. emma webb, you know, i, i rant on about this all day, every day, but children are having was a safeguard are having i was a safeguard officer in a school and i saw firsthand what children say and send to each other and how honestly it destroyed me just seeing and if parents knew seeing it. and if parents knew what just the what was going on, not just the bullying each other, the bullying of each other, the abuse each other, the abuse of each other, but the grooming from outside, from

older and the that they older people and the that they have access to. but just the utter distraction from what they should be doing, which is learning. do you think this ban should be implemented outright ? should be implemented outright? >> think this has become >> yes, i think this has become this has become both of our sort of think it of personal crusade. i think it makes so much sense. i mean , makes so much sense. i mean, there's a whole other discussion to be had about whether or not we should ban ownership of smartphones for under 16, because it's like giving hard drugs to your kids. but i even know from my own experience, you know, i'm completely addicted to this thing. and it's a distraction for me if i want to really focus on work, i have to put it somewhere else. and if i as adult, don't struggle with as an adult, don't struggle with it in that way, because we know we know from studies that, you know, phone is it has an know, your phone is it has an effect on your brain that is not dissimilar taking hard dissimilar from taking hard drugs. it's like a kind of cocaine or something. and to have that in the hands of undeveloped minds is obviously

going to be harmful. there have been studies that have suggested that it it harms your iq, it harms your intellectual development, and it is a distraction. it does affect your the length of time that you can concentrate on something. the idea that smartphones should be brought into schools i think is absurd . children don't need absurd. children don't need smartphones. they can a smartphones. they can have a dumb phone. doesn't mean that smartphones. they can have a dumican'tne. doesn't mean that smartphones. they can have a dumican't access oesn't mean that smartphones. they can have a dumican't access the1't mean that smartphones. they can have a dumican't access the internet. that they can't access the internet. it can't it doesn't mean that they can't use internet for learning use the internet for learning when they're supervised. but there is absolutely no reason at all why children should have smartphones instead of dumb phones. and the argument that i often hear and we've we've heard this argument on this show in previous weeks is that, oh, well , we wouldn't be able to we wouldn't be able to implement it. there's no point in discussing difficult because it's hard. that's it's just too hard. and that's ridiculous. of course not. you know , that's just that's just know, that's just that's just washing hands of it. yeah. washing your hands of it. yeah. parents need to be able to have control not to just admit control and not to just admit defeat. that these defeat. i understand that these things difficult and that things are difficult and that sometimes older sometimes, particularly older children can be a bit sneaky and deceptive if they if they really

want something . but that doesn't want something. but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't aspire to preventing them from having 24 hour access to something that we know is bad for their brains. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> andrew, know that there's >> andrew, we know that there's an offloading of memory here, so we don't retain as much knowledge. if we know it's at our fingertips. smart our fingertips. our smart devices also know that devices, as we also know that these are addictive and devices, as we also know that the know are addictive and devices, as we also know that the know that are addictive and devices, as we also know that the know that they|ddictive and devices, as we also know that the know that they can:tive and devices, as we also know that the know that they can block nd we know that they can block children having dreams and they interrupt our thought processes . and we know children who . and we know that children who have devices get lower have these devices get lower grades and have lower self esteem. is there any reason esteem. so is there any reason we should allowing what we should be allowing them? what i about this program is i love about this program is it's light less it's shining more light and less heat the topic . heat on the topic. >> and actually, if you get both sides the argument together sides of the argument together and do you a and say, look, why do you need a phone? of things phone? and some of the things about safeguarding? you make about safeguarding? so you make sure a phone when sure you have a phone when you're home sure you have a phone when you're sure home sure you have a phone when you're sure parentshome sure you have a phone when you're sure parents cane to make sure your parents can make you get home safely. make sure you get home safely. that's very, very important. do you in classroom? you need one in the classroom? well, some teachers will say that use it as part the that they use it as part of the lesson. music and so on lesson. so in music and so on and forth, you do that. and so forth, you can do that. they're saying about blocking it and so forth, you can do that. ththea saying about blocking it and so forth, you can do that. ththe playground»ut blocking it

and so forth, you can do that. ththe playground andlocking it in the playground and the problem now, problem is most people now, i always more means always say that the more means of communication we have, the less to communicate less we're able to communicate because have heads because you have your heads down on used for on your screen. it's used for bullying. used to when on your screen. it's used for bulwere used to when on your screen. it's used for bulwere at used to when on your screen. it's used for bulwere at school to when on your screen. it's used for bulwere at school and when on your screen. it's used for bulwere at school and yomen on your screen. it's used for bulwere at school and you didn't we were at school and you didn't have to that, have the technology to do that, but close your door and but you close your door and you're safe now. this follows you're safe now. this follows youit's having strangers in >> it's like having strangers in the playground. >> absolutely. you've got be >> absolutely. you've got to be really careful. >> we have to work out >> but what we have to work out is encourage skills of is to encourage new skills of communication. and if you use rather like which is rather like ai, which is basically helping people write their essays so on and so their essays and so on and so forth. want people to forth. so you want people to become one of become orators. i mean, one of the talk the policies that they talk about actually people about is actually getting people to communicate is to be able to communicate is really, really so really, really powerful. so i wouldn't altogether. wouldn't block it altogether. i wouldn't block it altogether. i would when do you need would work out when do you need it? as of your it? maybe as part of your education safeguarding on education or for safeguarding on the home find that the way home and find that solution the same when solution in the same way as when you the for certain you go to the 02 for certain gigs? have to hand in gigs? now you have to hand in your mobile phone so you don't record the material. comedians your mobile phone so you don't re

article on this and they made a point that, you know, not every child has access to it. and so you things in you shouldn't use things in class that the school isn't providing. two of the providing. but two of the examples given for how examples that were given for how phones classroom , as phones are used in classroom, as i were just very i thought were just very strange. of them one of strange. so one of them one of the benefits apparently is that when writes when the teacher writes something the whiteboard something down on the whiteboard and snap and the child can just snap it on phone they have the on their phone and they have the information well, information there, well, they're not it's not writing it down and it's not going brain. if going into their brain. if they're just snapping it on their phone. and i often do their phone. and i very often do that of like that with things to sort of like bookmark it for later and then i forget to come back forget to even come back to it. another that could have another use that you could have is using it as is in music lessons, using it as a dictaphone so that can a dictaphone so that you can record whatever the record music or whatever the school should provide. dictaphones if they need dictaphones if they need dictaphone they not dictaphone, they should not require children to have a device like a smartphone in order to do that. >> and everybody has to have access. >> you've got to be absolutely right. >> preach. >> preach. >> thank you very much. i'd like to special thanks to my to give a special thanks to my duellist uk director to give a special thanks to my ducommon uk director to give a special thanks to my ducommon sense uk director to give a special thanks to my ducommon sense society,iirector to give a special thanks to my ducommon sense society, and or of common sense society, and andrew eborn, futurist and lawyer . and actually emma will lawyer. and actually emma will be hosting next week as i'm off on my holiday. bob's. thank

algorithms promote. that algorithms promote. so that includes a lot of gender ideology , children being ideology, children being confused about becoming non—binary and we see non—binary or trans. and we see on on tiktok, for instance, you see kids sharing their double mastectomy stories and to how inject hormones. and i think that's very harmful . so inject hormones. and i think that's very harmful. so part of that's very harmful. so part of thatis that's very harmful. so part of that is discussing that. part of it discussing how school it is discussing how school systems have been infiltrated and how can help, can and also how faith can help, can help change your life. because, you been through you know, i've been through a crazy identity crisis. i talk about that a lot the book and about that a lot in the book and how overcome their struggles. how to overcome their struggles. so motivate so i want this book to motivate people maybe questioning people that maybe questioning their tell their identity and just tell them, are good enough them, look, you are good enough as know, happy as it is. you know, be happy with god made you. with the way god made you. >> because the last >> i love that because the last time on, we talked time we had you on, we talked about your faith and how about your faith journey and how you i mean, you originally transitioned k—pop artist you i mean, you originally tran then,3d k—pop artist you i mean, you originally tran then, yes k—pop artist you i mean, you originally tran then, yes , k—pop artist you i mean, you originally tran then, yes , then —pop artist you i mean, you originally tran then, yes , then you artist you i mean, you originally tran then, yes , then you wanted and then, yes, then you wanted to become like barbie and then to become like a barbie and then you into ken. yes you transitioned into a ken. yes and of and your faith kind of influenced you your influenced you in your transition, right? transition, am i right? >> know, i needed >> yes. you know, i needed something life guide me something in my life to guide me because i was, you know, struggling with all these crazy different identities. and i needed guidance and needed some guidance and i needed some guidance and i needed needed needed to be grounded. i needed to to get back to

to needed to get back to the real part of this journey real me. so part of this journey with faith was is trying to with my faith was is trying to get old me. you get back to the old me. you know, i was younger, going know, when i was younger, going through repressed through all those repressed memories. church memories. i used to go to church as kid and remember as a kid and i remember fondly, you egg and spoon you know, easter egg and spoon races with the church. kris kringle and carol kringle sessions and carol sessions, you really sessions, and you know, really positive that sessions, and you know, really positive me that sessions, and you know, really positive me just that sessions, and you know, really positive me just have that sessions, and you know, really positiveme just have that purpose helped me just have some purpose in thing about in life. and the thing about faith it's faith and christianity, it's about others . so i've about helping others. so i've used, know, my own used, you know, my own experience try and help experience to try and help parents, women, kids and help, you know , up you know, come up with a solution for all of these gender identity reason like your story >> the reason i like your story so because i think a lot so much is because i think a lot of relate to a of people can relate to it. a lot of people are struggling to find their self or their find their true self or their true identity, think they true identity, and i think they don't realise that that don't realise that in that search be search you can never be fulfilled always fulfilled because there's always something the something else. and actually the search searches something else. and actually the seachrist. searches something else. and actually the seachrist. and searches something else. and actually the seachrist. and once searches something else. and actually the seachrist. and once you arches something else. and actually the seachrist. and once you direct for christ. and once you direct the away yourself, the search away from yourself, then contentment, then then you find contentment, then you find fulfilment. >> you i kind of >> exactly. you know, i kind of wish i have found wish i could have found god a lot earlier in my life. but, you know, we all have different points we may points in our life where we may find or have it find faith or we may have it from birth. think it's from birth. and i think it's important and i think in important moment. and i think in modern you so

modern society, we you know, so many aren't many young people aren't connecting with god and jesus. they're not to church. they're not going to church. they're all day on tiktok and they're that. and they're not looking at that. and i it really help i think it can really help people hour a day, you people just an hour a day, you know, prayer, worship know, prayer, going to worship and that sense of and having that sense of kind of i a to make this world i have a duty to make this world a better place. i should be helping people. and i also have a love myself and a duty to love myself and those around man, ollie, there around me. oh, man, ollie, there are stories i want to are so many stories i want to talk to about you, talk to you about with you, one of this situation of them is this crazy situation in canada where have a man in canada where we have a man who has transitioned into a woman and it didn't go as intended . intended. >> he's having a lot of pain in his neo vagina as they call it. excuse me. that's what the term they use. and he's opted to end his life, as they do in canada with their medical euthanasia , with their medical euthanasia, and they've declined him at the moment , and they've declined him at the moment, saying that and they've declined him at the moment , saying that maybe we'll moment, saying that maybe we'll look at it in the future. for now, this shows this shows to me, i mean, you can give me your thoughts on this, but this shows to young people, to me that young people, vulnerable are being vulnerable people are being manipulated vulnerable people are being marway ated vulnerable people are being marway atefind happiness is to the way to find happiness is to change bodies and mutilate

change their bodies and mutilate their bodies and they're being manipulated and manipulated by the society and the norms around them. and this is leading to people wanting to end lives . end their lives. >> absolutely. well, originally, when introduced this law when canada introduced this law in it was for end of life. in 2016, it was for end of life. you know, for people that had terminal illness and they wanted to dignity . and then, to die with dignity. and then, you know, by 2021, you had 10,000 canadians around 3.3% of the deaths that year were by assisted suicide. but now what's happenedis assisted suicide. but now what's happened is a couple of years ago, they introduced a mental health clause to assisted suicide, which is called made made in canada. and they're now saying people that have mental health struggles can do this. so, you know, most people with gender identity struggles and that transition, they do struggle with their mental health. fact that this health. so the fact that this person , they vagina plasty person, they had a vagina plasty surgery in 2009, they've said that they've lived with incredible pain and discomfort. that so excruciating since that is so excruciating since then. and they've actually appued then. and they've actually applied for assisted suicide. and i think that's heartbreaking because that person has been betrayed by the doctors that did

that procedure them in the that procedure to them in the first and while first place. and now, while their been rejected their request has been rejected now, it could well , you know, as now, it could well, you know, as canada becomes more and more woke justin trudeau, it woke with justin trudeau, it could include, you know, people that, you know, transition and they're struggling with their identity. any identity. and, you know, any young person and so many young people health, people have mental health, but if really about you if they really cared about you know, stuff, know, people's lives and stuff, they invest mental know, people's lives and stuff, they support.est mental health support. >> absolutely agree. i mean, >> i absolutely agree. i mean, the headline is the most bizarre headune the headline is the most bizarre headline i've read in a while trans canadian slams trans indigenous canadian slams doctors denying doctors for denying her euthanasia request, saying death would be better than her constant pain from a surgical built vagina. i mean, we this is a cry for help, isn't it? we have to stop this mutilation because this is becoming torture . activists talk . and whilst activists talk of a trans genocide doesn't trans genocide that doesn't exist, could actually lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a:, could actually lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a trans could actually lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a trans genocide ually lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a trans genocide .ally lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a trans genocide . if.y lead trans genocide that doesn't ex a trans genocide . if people to a trans genocide. if people who go through these operations realise that unhappy and realise that they're unhappy and in want to end their lives, in pain want to end their lives, it's heartbreaking . it's heartbreaking. >> and, know, many young >> and, you know, many young people mental people do struggle with mental health so health in this day and age. so if giving them an option if you're giving them an option to their life, know, a
