truly horrific and as it's revealed , mps spent half £1 revealed, mps spent half £1 million on booze in just one yeah million on booze in just one year. do alcohol and work ever mix plus your emails, especially the spicy ones ? mark gbnews.com. the spicy ones? mark gbnews.com. it's all about your opinions on mark dolan tonight and this show has a golden rule . we don't do has a golden rule. we don't do boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. lots to get through. we'll start with my big opinion . the co op supermarket opinion. the co op supermarket hit who do an excellent line in shortbread biscuits have called on police forces to do more after experiencing 175,000 crime incidents from january to june this year, according to the express newspaper, the company have revealed that almost 1000 incidents are reported every single day in their shops across the country , with one london the country, with one london store being looted three times

in a single day. store being looted three times in a single day . some of these in a single day. some of these incidents include theft, staff abuse and antisocial behaviour, with some staff experiencing physical assaults. i know that in my local co op stakes are kept in secure plastic boxes to be unlocked at the till and bottles of aerial detergent are now tagged. who steals aerial? they must be very clean criminals and smell good too. this is part of a wider picture that points to an increasingly lawless britain . in total across lawless britain. in total across england and wales there were 312,000 reported crimes last year and an overall charge rate of less than 6. sexual violence and fraud are through the roof and fraud are through the roof and police have failed to solve and police have failed to solve a single burglary in neighbourhoods across nearly half of england and wales in the past three years, rendering this horrific and intrusive offence

of burglary to be effectively decriminalised and often now you're lucky if you even get a visit from a cop after a burglary and even if you do, what's the point ? and people what's the point? and people only report vehicle crime like car theft for insurance purposes, having long ago given up hope of ever actually seeing their car or motorbike again and if you own a bicycle, forget it . we may as well give them away to criminals for free. now, as with the nhs where problems exist with the system. but not the excellent doctors and nurses . the same goes for our police forces as male and female coppers work very hard and they put their safety on the line every day on our behalf. put their safety on the line every day on our behalf . they've every day on our behalf. they've had a torrid time during the pandemic, enforcing ridiculous rules, and unlike other public sector workers, they can't go on strike even though they are highly deserving of a pay rise after years and years of austerity , we i back our cops .

austerity, we i back our cops. but sadly , our great cities are but sadly, our great cities are going the way of san francisco or seattle , where socialist or seattle, where socialist policies have seen people able to steal items from shops under the value of $1,000 and not even get prosecuted . security guards get prosecuted. security guards at apple stores in america literally watch criminals walk out of the shop with an ipad under their arm . many of under their arm. many of america's major cities are a lawless apocal lips with regular looting and people openly drug taking and even defaecating on the streets. thankfully we're not there yet, but like so many things in america , it's a stark things in america, it's a stark warning of where we are headed , warning of where we are headed, whether it's graffiti , broken whether it's graffiti, broken windows or nicking a packet of minstrels from w h. smith. the policing culture in this country needs to change and there needs to be a zero tolerance attitude towards all crimes. start being with so—called low level offences which anyone with half

a brain will tell you is a stepping stone to more serious crimes further down the line . crimes further down the line. it's human nature. if you don't think you're going to get caught, you will commit a crime and it doesn't help that our police forces focus their energies on turning up at people's houses for an offensive facebook post. it doesn't help that police forces spend half their time painting rainbow flags on cop cars . it doesn't flags on cop cars. it doesn't help that they ask just stop. oil protesters glued to the motorway whether they're okay and whether they'd like a sandwich or a cup of tea . at the sandwich or a cup of tea. at the moment, criminals are in the driving seats and are making britain a more dangerous and unhappy place to live . keeping unhappy place to live. keeping law and order on the streets is the primary responsibility of any government, and this one is failing criminals should be afraid to break the law as they are in countries like singapore, where they have an enviably low crime rate . drug offences there, crime rate. drug offences there,

for example , are no go . for example, are no go. criminals aren't afraid at all in this country. they are laughing in our face. so how do we fix this? well, employ more cops, build more prisons , cops, build more prisons, toughen up sentencing, make custodial sentences productive , custodial sentences productive, and invest in prisoners to turn their life around and get rid of woke policing . it's time to woke policing. it's time to tackle this national emergency before it becomes a full blown national crisis . the police are national crisis. the police are losing control of the streets and you don't have to be a detective to work that out . detective to work that out. there we are. listen josh, how's that? should i slide along the sofa a little bit? there we are . your reaction? what do you think about that, mark at gbnews.com. i'm really worried about where crime is going. we are not america just yet, but i think it's coming and we should

act now and we should start with that so—called low level crime. no crime is victimless. let me know your thoughts. let's get reaction now from my top pundits . delighted to welcome broadcaster and comedian tommy sandhu , the founder of consumer sandhu, the founder of consumer finance website money. magpie jasmine birtles, and journalist and political commentator joe bartosh . joe, your reaction to bartosh. joe, your reaction to some of the statistics about how little crime is detected and prosecute ? ed? prosecute? ed? >> i mean, i think it's important not to be too alarmist about these things. >> having having said that, looking at the 30% increase in physical attacks on retail workers is really quite shocking . and clearly, you know, we need to restore that balance of having detection, conviction and punishment . having detection, conviction and punishment. that's the sort having detection, conviction and punishment . that's the sort of, punishment. that's the sort of, you know, that's the holy holy triangle, if you like, of holy trinity of policing. um i don't think we're sliding towards the us situation just yet. >> do you see where they've gone wrong in places like san francisco ? francisco? >> yeah, absolutely. and i mean

, but the, i mean i heard the, the boss of john lewis recently saying that it was in fact, you know, it was a problem with the cost of living but cost of living crisis. but when i've footage the young i've seen footage of the young lads looting don't lads looting stores, i don't think really struggling. think they're really struggling. single i don't think single parents. i don't think it's i don't think it's about the cost living. i think it's the cost of living. i think it's because away with it. >> i tend to agree with you, tommy. viewers and tommy. many of my viewers and listeners feel safe anymore. >> no, i can see that. and actually this week. so with these kind of come these stories kind of come about because local tesco because i was in the local tesco where live in east london. is where i live in east london. is it tesco express is it extra it tesco express or is it extra express the what's your preferred tesco format? oh, i like megastore. i like like the megastore. i like to know get a t shirt as well know i can get a t shirt as well as crisps. as some crisps. >> megastores could raise >> megastores you could raise your places. >> we've moved in. we shop very slowly. we three and slowly. we spent three and a half in every round. half years in every round. >> you were in. you were in >> but you were in. you were in a tesco express and they were like filling the like they were filling up the shelves, but only putting like they were filling up the sifront;, but only putting like they were filling up the sifront linet only putting like they were filling up the sifront line of only putting like they were filling up the sifront line of coffee. nly putting a front line of coffee. >> and said, oh, coffee's >> and i said, oh, coffee's popular. just little passing popular. just a little passing comment. i thought, it's all gone. they said, they gone. yeah. and they said, they said they've been running said no, they've been running in here and that here and nicking it and that whole 4 or

whole because coffee is 4 or £5 a go and i've done pieces in the past on homeless people or people that are on drugs. and they actually day they said actually £8 a day is enough addict to enough for a heroin addict to get through the day. so you sell a of those, done. a couple of those, you're done. so i'm trying is so what i'm trying to get to is now stage where now we're at a stage where people are so broke or there might people that so might be people that are so desperate or it desperate or on drugs or it might be the austerity that might not be the austerity that they don't care. and it's they just don't care. and it's that that frightens me that it's that that frightens me because i see videos. sure because i see videos. i'm sure you on your you see them as well on your phones and on tiktok of them smashing places smashing into jewellery places and of the and playing in the middle of the afternoon know, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|people's know, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|people's houses)w, breaking and playing in the middle of the afte|people's houses andreaking and playing in the middle of the afte|people's houses and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe�*gangs houses and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe�*gangs right.; and thoseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe�*gangs right. people ioseg and playing in the middle of the afte|pe�*gangs right. people people moped gangs right. people people just aren't scared anymore. however dubai however there i was in dubai a year a half ago for some year and a half ago for some cricket everyone very cricket stuff. everyone was very well if they were well behaved, even if they were drunk you drunk because they know you don't with big with the don't mess with the big with the very men outside . and the very large men outside. and the police are very strict and everyone well behaved. i everyone was well behaved. so i think have that think if you do have that discipline in place, people will behave. >> jasmine yeah, no, i agree and i agree with what you've said. one i think we're one thing that i think we're missing, , that there missing, though, is that there are criminal, big criminal gangs running much of this. so the

ones quite often, not always, but quite often the ones that are smashing and grabbing, they're a gang. and they're working for a gang. and honestly, feel that in some honestly, i do feel that in some cases, at least , there is cases, at least, there is collusion between the gangs and the police as well. and i think thatis the police as well. and i think that is one of the reasons why they're not coming along. and it's just with here with the it's not just with here with the shops. it's not just with here with the shops . it's there's it's not just with here with the shops. it's there's this is happening across the country. and i'm certainly hearing from small businesses , you know, small businesses, you know, people with very small shops who are saying that they're constantly on the phone to the police going come and they don't they up. now. they don't even turn up. now. they're has got to be another reason that. and the reason for that. and the way they describe it honestly , it they describe it honestly, it sounds collusion to me. sounds like collusion to me. >> thought. sounds like collusion to me. >> what thought. sounds like collusion to me. >> what do thought. sounds like collusion to me. >> what do you thought. sounds like collusion to me. >> what do you think?ught. sounds like collusion to me. >> what do you think? do t. sounds like collusion to me. >> what do you think? do you have faith in british policing market will return to market gbnews.com will return to that very shortly. but next up in the big story, as prince harry a new crisis and harry faces a new crisis and worrying claims that his life is now out of control, we'll get the top royal insider the views of top royal insider lady victoria hervey . she's

cases, this litigation action, or does this come from harry, do you think she seems to distance herself whenever he is going through court? >> you know, like the last time he was in london, he was here clearly like on his own at and i can't see her being by his side when he has to go back to court again. that's just not going to happen. victoria, any we wish him well don't we? >> i know you wish harry well, i wish him well, but i do. >> i just think, you know, for the children sake, i really hope that they figure this out because be. because they will be. >> will be the ones to >> they will be the ones to suffer. how how bad could it get for harry? suffer. how how bad could it get for dory? suffer. how how bad could it get for do we have to really worry >> do we have to really worry about his well—being ? about his well—being? >> um, look, he's. he's i know. i mean, i think he is. obviously, he's not very mentally strong, but i think he will get through this, you know, and hopefully his friends will be very supportive of him, although he's. he hasn't been that supportive of his old

friends . but i think people need friends. but i think people need to realise that he is in a fragile position at the moment and he will need all that support, especially if the marriage is not doing well . marriage is not doing well. >> victoria a lot of court cases that cost money, they've got secured city, they've got a montecito mansion with a pool and we're told 16 bathrooms. they have an expensive lifestyle. they have lost the spotify deal, which was worth millions . spotify deal, which was worth millions. the spotify deal, which was worth millions . the netflix deal spotify deal, which was worth millions. the netflix deal has got a big question mark hanging over it. could this couple run out of money? >> no . i to be honest, like you >> no. ito be honest, like you know, sure, they're losing deals left and right, but i don't think they're going to run out of money. they're still going to be totally fine. like look at his sales. know, he's his book sales. you know, he's obviously made a lot of money from he's made a lot of from that. he's made a lot of money from even if money from netflix. even if netflix pay him netflix doesn't pay him the rest, will be all rest, i think they will be all right . obviously do right. but obviously they do have very extravagant have a very extravagant lifestyle that costs a lot lifestyle and that costs a lot of money. you know, when you're having staff and having that amount of staff and house parties and things, it

secretary, suella braverman . but secretary, suella braverman. but her face is in white face. i can only say that she's got white makeup or white paint on her face and you would call that white face a user by the names of emma watkins posted this image with hopes of getting new followers. anyone else who detests the home secretary , she, detests the home secretary, she, tommy , is this racist? tommy, is this racist? >> so hold on. okay. she hasn't put the white face on suella hasn't done it. this is done by emma. >> this has been doctored either by person involved or the by the person involved or the person on twitter has co—opted the image and shared it right. >> and the idea is that suella braverman being a brown person , braverman being a brown person, has now because she's, you know, anti immigration or whatever her stances are on that that that that. stances are on that that that that . i stances are on that that that that. i don't stances are on that that that that . i don't get stances are on that that that that. i don't get it. i don't i don't i don't i love a dress up that's my problem right. so this is where i'm going with it. i love a bit of fancy dress. i celebrate kind as things celebrate kind of as many things can involves food and can if it involves food and drink. we do cinco de mayo in the of may is mexican

the house. 5th of may is mexican independence all out independence day. we go all out because it's a good, fun one to get into. so the cultural appropriation thing i think is a really risky debate. i don't know that where that line know where that where that line lies. think they're lies. yeah i think they're just trying. is more of trying. i think this is more of a statement and a point that they're trying to make about suella. a bit of suella. this is clearly a bit of hate this is hate towards her, and this is kind trying generate all kind of trying to generate all an people that don't an army of people that don't like together. it like her together. so is it racist? no, don't know what it racist? no, i don't know what it is. think just more of an is. i think it's just more of an anti suella thing. >> message that you >> is the message that you cannot of colour and have cannot be of colour and have conserved cannot be of colour and have conyeah.i cannot be of colour and have conyeah. supposedly even like >> yeah. supposedly even like now i'm speaking, i'm aware now as i'm speaking, i'm aware of different people in my of the different people in my world, particularly, of the different people in my world, lot particularly, of the different people in my world, lot more articularly, of the different people in my world, lot more kind|larly, of the different people in my world, lot more kind of, ly, who are a lot more kind of, let's maybe left than i am. let's say maybe left than i am. and are more right than and those are more right than i am. thinking of how am. but and i'm thinking of how they react in that they would react in that situation. they'd go bang. there'd that would there'd be those that would absolutely detest her and those that i get that kind of say, well, i get where she's coming from. she's just she's trying to firmly police hear all police borders so i can hear all those someone of my those people. but someone of my ethnicity supposed say , ethnicity is supposed to say, hey, we're i'm the hey, come on, we're i'm the product immigration. we product of immigration. we should be a lot more flexible with our borders. but i'm not should be a lot more flexible with where.rders. but i'm not sure where. >> jasmine, where do we with

>> jasmine, where do we go with this image, if don't mind? >> jasmine, where do we go with this bring, if don't mind? >> jasmine, where do we go with this bring, if image 't mind? >> jasmine, where do we go with this bring, if image back1d? >> jasmine, where do we go with this bring, if image back just josh bring that image back just so tuning will so that anyone tuning in will see this photograph that's gone viral . viral. >> my first thought was, oh , >> my first thought was, oh, here we go again. an attack on a female politician. they tend to be more vicious then of course, immediately i'm thinking of all the stuff i've seen on the front covers of the red tops about bofis covers of the red tops about boris johnson. i mean, he he has had all sorts stuff drawn on had all sorts of stuff drawn on his face, you know. so of course , it's not only her, but it just to me as i don't know if it's just to me as a woman, to be honest. but looking at a female politician, sort of politician, having that sort of attack, it seems to more, attack, it seems to hurt more, even it's from another woman. woman. >> woman. >> i'm assuming that this individual abhors racism. they may well call themselves an anti racist, but this is problematic, isn't it, joe? >> yeah, i think it is. i think there was a segment of the woke left where this sort of behaviour and this sort of commentary is accepted and it shouldn't be so. joe biden in the lead up to the last presidential election, he

basically said that black people weren't black if they voted for trump. i mean, there's this bizarre sense of ownership that some people on the on the woke left have whereby they seem to think that they are deserved support and votes of any minority party. how dare they? and what about this treatment of female politicians ? female politicians? >> we saw it with priti patel and was one particular and there was one particular cartoon that featured her essentially characterised as a cow with a ring through her nose. pretty dark stuff. yeah. we've seen suella braverman with the devil's horns. and now this . and it seems that you're allowed to do that if you're somehow morally superior, if you're on the right side of the argument. yeah absolutely. >> i think there's a real sense of sort of sanctimony and a lack of sort of sanctimony and a lack of self reflection when it comes to when it comes to woke politics. i think they think anything goes. and course, anything goes. and of course, the message should really be that you play politics, that you you play the politics, you know , you you don't play, you know, you don't play the person, you play

the ball well. >> it. i mean, it's >> this is it. i mean, it's certainly gaslighting. someone to say you're not a properly asian person if you if you want to essentially police the borders of this country . borders of this country. >> yeah. it's also it's the crowds of people on both sides that will go, oh, you can't do that. oh, actually it's a caricature in a cartoon. you could argue it's politics. it's been done for years. there's always been a silly picture of a politician drawn as something some layered message . some sort of layered message. how bad is it? you know ? and if how bad is it? you know? and if we do start saying, oh, is it worse for females? are now worse for females? are we now are down another route are we going down another route where actually we just where actually we should just look person? look at the person? >> a point. it's >> you raise a good point. it's free in the end free speech in the end and i don't believe cancel culture. don't believe in cancel culture. so i guess we tolerate stuff like this. but obviously, you know, wouldn't cancel it. i know, i wouldn't cancel it. i wouldn't suspend her twitter account. but i'm happily account. no, but i'm happily going to debate the implications of she's saying. and of what she's saying. and i think the message the think the message is the problem. one problem. the other brief one here tommy, is double here on this, tommy, is double standards the woke left, standards from the woke left, because if this was a white person blackface , there would

person in blackface, there would be uproar and rightly so . be uproar and rightly so. >> yeah, but this is designed to shut them the point in shut them up. the whole point in this to make it go make us this is to make it go make us have this this thought as well. and paints and anyone now who who paints their face in any way, shape or form, if face paints form, i wonder if face paints have in sales. have really gone down in sales. i wonder anyone's i wonder if anyone's picking them in tesco's them out. co—ops in tesco's probably them out. co—ops in tesco's protit'sy them out. co—ops in tesco's protit's just. it'sjust them out. co—ops in tesco's protit's just. it's just what but it's just. it's just what you can do, what you can't do. it's just so problematic now. i don't know it's going. don't know where it's all going. >> i think you're absolutely right. josh, me right. back to me. josh, let me tell i mean, tell you that i tonight i mean, orange because gb is a orange face because gb news is a start we don't have makeup start up. we don't have makeup artists weekend. so ran artists at the weekend. so i ran to and is this is to superdrug and this is this is the i could do. the best i could do. >> right? >> right? >> i apologise. no, you do. >> i apologise. no, you do. >> look great. >> you look great. how? >> you look great. how? >> is your face underneath that? >> oh, don't want to know. >> oh, you don't want to know. >> oh, you don't want to know. >> the end of >> it's be like the end of scooby when you see what i scooby doo when you see what i actually look like. now, it's been that spent been reported that mps spent almost £1 million one almost half £1 million in one year on alcohol, half £1 million in a year with costs covering 24,000 bottles of wine and 2800 bottles of bubbly. the amount spent was in bars within the

house of commons. so with the government being plagued by controversy, is it time to ban booze in parliament? do alcohol and work ever mixed? joe well, to be honest, i think if i worked in a house of commons, i'd want a drink or two. >> i yeah, i think it's a little bit of a non—story, if i'm honest. you know, when you when you look at nadine dorries not turning up at her constituency, that seems like more of a problem to me. and yeah, but do you want decision makers half cut ? cut? >>i cut? >> i mean, we heard about you couldn't do a worse job, could they? perhaps that's not. they? perhaps not. that's not. but imagine they stagger but i mean, imagine they stagger into the lobby and they're, you know, voting in really important, you know, league matters that will affect the rest of rest of us directly. >> and also partygate, you know, my main objection to partygate was, well , i thought the rules was, well, i thought the rules were bunkum in the first place. but i didn't like the idea of our, our leaders under the our, of our leaders under the influence at a time of critical national importance. i suppose the thing about the house of commons is it's not just a place

where work gets done. >> it's also a place where socialising gets done that socialising gets done and that is long hours. is they work very long hours. i mean, not one to defend mps mean, i'm not one to defend mps generally, but they do work long hours, appreciate that hours, so i can appreciate that actually needs some actually there needs to be some sort for them to, to, sort of space for them to, to, to socialise as well. >> very >> jasmine you're very successful entrepreneur money. magpie .com is one of the top financial consumer in magpie .com is one of the top finacountry. 1sumer in magpie .com is one of the top finacountry. highly in magpie .com is one of the top finacountry. highly recommended. the country. highly recommended. other websites available other websites are available like martin lewis, but but you've had success. do you think that booze and work mix well as you know , i'm a lifelong you know, i'm a lifelong teetotaller so no it would be the answer. >> absolutely. i've spent my entire life happily without any sort of alcohol, but, you entire life happily without any sort of alcohol, but , you know, sort of alcohol, but, you know, i'm perfectly happy with other people doing whatever they want to. i just think that it's a bit odd, honestly, that our parliament and i'm sure it's the same with many other parliaments have actually cheap booze. it's not just booze , it's cheap not just booze, it's cheap booze. you know, it's sort of i don't know what it is half price, but, you know, considerably less. so you can spend rest of the evening,

spend the rest of the evening, you know, through the night, you know, so i love you. know, coming out. so i love you. >> yeah, i love you all. >>— >> yeah, i love you all. >> they never do that. have you noticed, boris? >> is that boris? >> is that boris? >> is that boris? >> i mean, if they did wander in going. i just love who all love you. >> that would be great. that would be great. >> i wonder. >> i wonder. >> i wonder. >> i mean, we're going to. we're going to reveal the results with text poll shortly, tommy. but i just think if you're a professional, wonder whether professional, i wonder whether you of the you keep booze outside of the workplace. mean, joe raises a workplace. i mean, joe raises a fair is fair point. the parliament is not office. know, not just an office. you know, people there and members of people meet there and members of the and other the public come in and other other stake other other sort of stake holders. yeah, but but i mean , holders. yeah, but but i mean, have you seen work in an alcohol in a work setting ever be a problem? yeah, of course it is. >> gets of hand. we know >> it gets out of hand. we know christmas of christmas parties can get out of hand. know, know, hand. we know, you know, people's can people's opinions. people can get on all those get emotional on all those things that happen as a result of and actually, of drinking and actually, if you've been a lifelong teetotaller, you're not teetotaller, jasmine, you're not allowed this allowed to comment on this story because know the because you don't know the benefits cut back benefits of it. i've cut back significantly drink, significantly on my drink, but i will say in persia will say this in ancient persia , they used have a debate. , they used to have a debate. they to debate matters they used to debate matters

soben they used to debate matters sober. then drunk. that's sober. and then drunk. that's amazing. then find amazing. and then they'd find a middle ground. i. i you know, middle ground. so i. i you know, there's a merit to it. i'm just saying. because the truth will come out, you can really level with someone after few drinks with someone after a few drinks as well. >> there elm-m em“ >> well, there you go. well, let's honest . let's let's be honest. >> somebody had had a drink when they came up with the idea of gb news. and god bless them for that. listen, looking forward to our next item. my mark meets guest is the co—author of a brand new book about britain's most famous notorious most famous and notorious criminal, great criminal, the great train robber. ronnie biggs hear robber. ronnie biggs will hear about life on the about his incredible life on the run .

age of 84. well published for the 60th anniversary of britain's most famous crime, the great train robber is ronnie biggs official autobiography and the author who helped put it together. chris pickard joins me now. chris welcome to mark dolan tonight. thank you. lovely to see you. how did ronnie get into a life of crime? was he always wrong'un? >> not really . >> not really. >> not really. >> he was a very incompetent criminal and he was actually he was going straight at the time of great train and of the great train robbery. and it series of coincide it was a series of coincide agencies. and ron was a great believer in coincidences and luck just for luck and things just happen for a reason. was because he a reason. and it was because he needed borrow from needed to borrow money from bruce was bruce reynolds, who was the mastermind that mastermind of the robbery that he heard about it. and at that time, he wasn't involved in crime. he was just a builder in redhill. he'd gone straight out and working on a train and he was working on a train driver's house. he was doing the windows. and bruce and the train robbers needed a train driver. and they asked ron would he approached the driver and get him and then ron. him to come along. and then ron. ron was told by bruce, you don't have to come. if you want,

have to come. if you don't want, we'll getting we'll pay you just for getting the ron liked the the driver. but ron liked the excitement found building the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. found building the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. so found building the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. so he found building the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. so he he)und building the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. so he he joinedjilding the driver. but ron liked the excitedull. so he he joined and1g quite dull. so he he joined and he became the odd man out at the great train robbery. >> it was an audacious plan on the equivalent of £50 million or more from a royal mail train. what went wrong ? what went wrong? >> not a lot, to be honest . what >> not a lot, to be honest. what you have to go back to is the guy who put it together, as is bruce reynolds, who was known as the prince of thieves. he was a genius criminal, the type you see in films . cary grant was, see in films. cary grant was, you know, based on him. it's that thing of he would take fast cars and go to the south of france rob villas and things france and rob villas and things in so if you in the summer. so he if you spoke him, it was just one spoke to him, it was just one crime other. and they crime after the other. and they were all planned. so in the november he'd the november of 62, he'd done the london airport job. and then early somebody started early in 63, somebody started talking to about the train talking to him about the train that down every night from that came down every night from glasgow, carrying large sums of money. and what's quite interesting in those times was, as bruce explained to me after world war 2—1 of the things that

improved was security at banks . improved was security at banks. so it became much harder to rob a bank or get your hands on money so the crooks in the early 60s had to work out well , where 60s had to work out well, where was the money in movement? because that was the best to because that was the best way to grab yeah. and of course, on grab it. yeah. and of course, on a train with no guards, perfect i >> lam km- km— k m hang on to? the >> what did they hang on to? the money. did ronnie keep any of the proceeds? >> he spent it all in. in running around the world. it's very cold. >> did. he went into >> so he did. he went into prison, and there was money in his possession, though he his possession, even though he was yes. his possession, even though he wasthere yes. his possession, even though he wasthere was yes. his possession, even though he wasthere was little s. the >> there was very little of the train robbery money was ever recovered. and there's lots of ronnie. >> ronnie got it out of the country. oh, yeah? >> yeah. well, it was actually it in britain it was all left in britain right? was be sent right? and it was then be sent to different ways. but by to him in different ways. but by the he to in the time he got to brazil in 1970, he basically gone through it left what he had with it all. he left what he had with charmian, was charmian, his wife, who was living kids in living with his kids in australia, he went on australia, to when he went on the i the the run. i mean, the extraordinary was they extraordinary thing was they never had any idea that that amount of money was going to be on that the on the train and that was the problem in 1963, our problem in those in 1963, our biggest banknote £10. so if

biggest banknote was £10. so if you think of the sheer volume they had , it was and it was they had, it was and it was money people didn't have credit cards those days. it was cards in those days. so it was just money. of it just absolute money. none of it listed. no numerical numbers listed. so no numerical numbers . so all the gang ended up with equivalent today of £2 million. and ron would have spent half of that to pay off the guys that took him across the channel to paris to have the plastic surgery done , which was a waste surgery done, which was a waste of money, to be honest. and then he went on to australia. he tried change appearance. tried to change his appearance. he was terrible. i he did, but it was terrible. i mean, you look at the photos mean, if you look at the photos before after you'd asked before and after you'd asked for your photos your money back, the only photos i ron where you'd i ever saw of ron where you'd have thought i don't recognise him was when he was leaving australia was using australia and he was using a friend's passport. he just had a lot cut hair lot of food and he cut his hair really glasses . you really short, fat glasses. you look at that photo and you think, see there at all. >> what do we know of his years on the run ? was he happy? yeah on the run? was he happy? yeah >> yes. i'm strangely enough, i'm making i'm currently finishing off a three part documentary for brazilian television about his time in rio

. and it made me realise going back because that's how i know him. i lived in rio for many, many years, was but rio was what formed him. that was we didn't when the when the robbery happened , people got with all happened, people got with all the other robbers, name ronnie the other robbers, a name ronnie biggs. particular face. there biggs. no particular face. there was you was the odd photo of a, you know, a mug shot when he escaped from wandsworth. suddenly his his photo only was all over the papers. so people now had a face and they had a name, but they still had no voice. never got still had no voice. we never got the voice ronnie biggs until the voice of ronnie biggs until he in brazil in he was discovered in brazil in 1974. and then the whole package came. became punk icon 1974. and then the whole package camethe became punk icon 1974. and then the whole package camethe sex became punk icon 1974. and then the whole package camethe sex pistolsme punk icon 1974. and then the whole package camethe sex pistols and punk icon 1974. and then the whole package camethe sex pistols and became on with the sex pistols and became this sort of thorn in the side of the establishment, if you like. yes. >> i mean, is it perverse that he became something of a folk hero, the fact that had hero, given the fact that he had committed crime? committed a crime? >> always thought it was >> he always thought it was quite i mean, quite odd as well. i mean, especially because he was such a small part it, as he said, he small part of it, as he said, he stood out from the crowd. it's about he would say it about like as he would say it was the england was a bit like the england football in 1966. it's who football team in 1966. it's who you remember. you remember bobby charlton and like that.

charlton and people like that. and he escaped it, he and because he escaped it, he became being a minor became despite being a minor player, the most famous . what player, the most famous. what was great was that bruce , who was great was that bruce, who was great was that bruce, who was the real mastermind , never was the real mastermind, never thought that was a problem. so he always said he would thank ron and say, you keep us in the news. but other kept news. but other robbers kept them the news. mostly. buster them in the news. mostly. buster edwards was another example. of course, wilson, course, charlie wilson, who was then in in spain then shot and killed in in spain for drug dealing. but ron was the person that kept giving to the person that kept giving to the story. whatever you there was always another story, whether he was escaping , whether whether he was escaping, whether he when he was kidnapped he was when he was kidnapped in brazil was recording brazil or when he was recording with sex pistols, when he with the sex pistols, when he came , a few seconds left. came back, a few seconds left. >> i'm to going recommend the book to my viewers and book to my many viewers and listeners. about ronnie, listeners. tell me about ronnie, the the man knew. listeners. tell me about ronnie, the really1e man knew. listeners. tell me about ronnie, the really nice an knew. listeners. tell me about ronnie, the really nice guy. knew. listeners. tell me about ronnie, the really nice guy. i knew. listeners. tell me about ronnie, the really nice guy. i mean, i've >> really nice guy. i mean, i've been lucky enough to meet many famous people and know them over the i really got the years. i mean, i really got to very that's to know ron very well. that's why agreed write book. why i agreed to write his book. we just friends. we were just friends. and i said, to tell the said, when you want to tell the truth, i'll do he a very truth, i'll do it. he was a very nice he was a very kind man. he's not the sort of people he's

mark dolan tonight in royal news. explosive diana secrets revealed in a new documentary . revealed in a new documentary. and donald trump returns to the stage last night, renewing his determination to get back into the white house. we'll get reaction from the queen of us showbiz royal and political reporting , showbiz royal and political reporting, kinsey showbiz royal and political reporting , kinsey schofield . reporting, kinsey schofield. plus, we'll bring you sunday's headlines. hot off the press at exactly 1030 sharp. plus, my punst exactly 1030 sharp. plus, my pundits will nominate their headune pundits will nominate their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. big stories , zeroes of the day. big stories, big guests and always big opinions . big guests and always big opinions. let's start with my take . at ten, i'm old enough to take. at ten, i'm old enough to remember popping down to my local newsagent once a week and buying the beano, which cost about £10 at the time. well now it's not worth the paper it's written on. given the shocking news that this notoriously naughty comic featuring dennis the menace has been given a woke

makeover, dennis is now less menacing and his dog gnasher, has metaphorically lost his bite. has metaphorically lost his bhe.the has metaphorically lost his bite. the great attraction of this publication , which this this publication, which this week celebrates 85 glorious years , is how it reflects the years, is how it reflects the cruel humour of children spend any time in a playgroup and you'll realise it's a rough place to be. children call each other names. they tease each other. the humour is harsh and there are winners and there are losers . it's very darwinian losers. it's very darwinian school playgrounds, in short, are not woke, so neither should this comic be. but this iconic magazine in the hands of so—called sensitivity readers is losing everything. that made it great. a bit like the work of roald dahl, the beano is supposed to be a white knuckle ride, but instead said, you've got big changes. ride, but instead said, you've got big changes . the legendary got big changes. the legendary character of fatty is now freddy . in order to protect the feelings of those with weight issues, obviously and spotty is now scotty for fear of upsetting

people with acne or freckles . people with acne or freckles. what's the world coming to when you can't mock a spotty teenager 7 you can't mock a spotty teenager ? i was covered in acne. i was nbbed ? i was covered in acne. i was ribbed for it. it's a rite of passage . how is it that for passage. how is it that for decades children could handle the harsh humour of the bash street kids? but now they can't? is that progress ? i don't think is that progress? i don't think so. these changes only feed the monster of the snowflake generation where no feelings can ever be hurt. and everyone's a victim. get over yourself . the victim. get over yourself. the magazine has made some positive changes, including bringing in diverse characters that reflect our multicultural society. that's brilliant and it's important . that's brilliant and it's important. but this great comic has been placed in the hands of a group called inclusive minds, whose minds seem pretty empty to me. this is a group who have butchered and adulterated the work of roald dahl and now risk destroying this comic's great

and naughty legacy . we ought to and naughty legacy. we ought to accept nicknames about each other. it's character building , other. it's character building, it's banter, it's free expression . and in the case of expression. and in the case of the best, beano strips, it's comedy. but there's no space for comedy. but there's no space for comedy in this joyless woke universe where fawlty towers, which used to entertain millions, now gets a trigger warning . and even though poor warning. and even though poor old roald dahl is six feet unden old roald dahl is six feet under, his genius works have been rewritten by these censorious thugs with the oompa loompas in charlie and the chocolate factory going gender neutral , fantastic. mr fox's neutral, fantastic. mr fox's three sons are now three daughters because girl power. mrs. twit is no longer fearfully ugly. and one of the witches in the witches is no longer a cashier in a supermarket. but a top scientist at. now that's very clear messaging to girls that they can take over the world. and of course they can and they should. but these censors can't take over. great

works written in the past without out the permission of the author and these political grifters reveal their wild snobbery by changing the witches job from cashier in a supermarket to top. scientists are they saying it's bad to be a cashier in a supermarket? is that a job that's beneath them ? that a job that's beneath them? well, i wouldn't trust these so—called sensitivity readers to swipe my spaghetti, let alone interfere with great works of art. the woke ification of books , of cinema, of comedy is destroyed . it the man who destroyed. it the man who illustrated roald dahl's work, the brilliant quentin blake, said this week, if the sensitive had their way , we wouldn't have had their way, we wouldn't have the twits in the first place. welcome to hell. bring authors like the booker prize winning kazuo ishiguro says that writers now write with one hand tied behind their back for fear of offending or getting in trouble. they can't write a gay character if they're not gay or if they don't have their characters

lived experience. that's progress, is it? whatever happened to writers making stuff up from their heads ? up from their heads? self—censorship is the worst censorship of all, but now it's the norm . the brilliant witches the norm. the brilliant witches film, which was very un—pc and surprise, surprise popular, featured the grand witch with a finger missing on each hand. predictably, there was a complaint from a group called the limb difference community who were devastated that the warner brothers company issued a predictable and grovelling apology . me now predictable and grovelling apology. me now i'm all for free speech and if someone is offended by something and they want to speak out, no problem . want to speak out, no problem. but in my opinion, how is a missing finger in a fictional character offensive to anyone politically motivated censorship is destroying art and sucking the joy out of life. i know which finger i'd like to give. these woke censors . i won't show these woke censors. i won't show you which finger because it's a

family show. your reaction? mark gb news acas . com. what do you gb news acas. com. what do you think about the fact that the beano have changed the name of fatty and spotty ? right? so fatty and spotty? right? so they've got these lovely generic, rather less offensive names. i mean quite seriously fatty is now freddy and spotty is scotty. do me a favour to get over yourself . let me know your over yourself. let me know your thoughts. reacting to my take at ten, broadcaster and comedian tommy sandhu is the founder of the finance website at the consumer finance website at money. jasmine birtles , money. magpie. jasmine birtles, and journalist and political commentator joe and journalist and political commentatorjoe bartosh . well, commentator joe bartosh. well, jasmine, i don't know about you, but i've had enough of this. yeah i've pretty much had enough. >> i do think that. okay, it's fine to move things on a bit, you know , with the beano, you know, with the beano, they're changing some of the characters to reflect more the way our society is perfectly happy with that. but. but taking off the spiky bits, the fun , the off the spiky bits, the fun, the bits of , you know, pointing the bits of, you know, pointing the finger, that's. that's about, you know, being a kid and you know, if you're going to rewrite

children's stuff, you look at all of the, the grimm fairy tales , which are grim, they are tales, which are grim, they are grim . they are violent . you grim. they are violent. you know, this this is the tradition of children's stories over that all of that time. so when they say we want our readers to feel this, that and the other , i just this, that and the other, i just wonder, who are these readers going to be? it sounds like actually quite a boring magazine that they're now creating. >> tommy sandhu , the publishers >> tommy sandhu, the publishers of the beano, will point to its recent great popularity . it recent great popularity. it celebrates 85 years. they will argue that they want to be inclusive, that their audience has changed. and they've also said that readers have written in , how can you not call in saying, how can you not call fatty fatty ? so do they have a fatty fatty? so do they have a point ? point? >> maybe they might have a little bit of a point. look we know that now we're dealing with a generation of people that are more sensitive, more sensitive than growing up. like, than we were growing up. like, say what, mark? what we went through even you through at school. even now, you referred beano as being referred to the beano as being a white knuckle ride. mark dolan that's that excludes me. i

haven't been on a white knuckle ride okay been on ride ever. okay i've been on a beige ride, so i'd like beige knuckle ride, so i'd like to them beige to refer to them as beige knuckle from now on. thanks very much. yeah, people much. but yeah, people are sensitive don't sensitive and i. what? i don't like the idea of is i don't like diversity getting up with diversity getting mixed up with woke because i think having a mix characters great. it mix of characters is great. it gives to play with a gives you more to play with in a storyline and they've storyline, and i know they've brought in of characters of brought in lots of characters of colour all good things, colour as well, all good things, but funny, but they can still be funny, they still be edgy. i was they can still be edgy. i was gutted i heard that. you gutted when i heard that. you know, simpsons was know, apu from the simpsons was going accents going and those accents absolutely you know, absolutely were going, you know, itake absolutely were going, you know, i take mick out of you so i take the mick out of you so much, mark, for strange much, mark, for your strange long body . it's just it's long dangly body. it's just it's an shape. mark. it's odd, an odd shape. mark. it's odd, but. i can't say those but. and if i can't say those things to you, then what's the world come to? so, yes , we still world come to? so, yes, we still call spotty dolan you know, call you spotty dolan you know, we still i still got it underneath an inch of makeup. >> listen, joe, delighted >> listen, joe, i'm delighted about diverse characters, about the diverse characters, but i want them to be little as well . well. >> yeah. i mean, i love the beano as a kid, and i think part of what appealed about it was it was a little bit cruel in a way.

i think the one thing that i do remember of taking home as a message that i've sort of reflected on as an adult and thought was walter, the thought was the walter, the sissy character , because sissy character, because obviously actually kind sissy character, because ob quitey actually kind sissy character, because ob quite a actually kind sissy character, because ob quite a homophobicrally kind sissy character, because ob quite a homophobic reallyind sissy character, because ob quite a homophobic really on of quite a homophobic really on reflection. know , i reflection. but, you know, i survived . other people survived. survived. other people survived. you know, it's i think teaching resilience is probably more important than anything. resilience is probably more imporyou'vean anything. resilience is probably more imporyou've got nything. resilience is probably more imporyou've got these g. resilience is probably more imporyou've got these these sort when you've got these these sort of in advising of groups coming in advising their salary depends on sort of finding offence. so of course they're going to find offence. >> now the beano is a great british brand. i bought it as a kid. i've bought it for my kids and i hope to buy it for my grandkids. i want to celebrate another course another 85 years. of course i do.the another 85 years. of course i do. the beano is amazing, but please , less of the woke stuff . please, less of the woke stuff. lots more to come. next up, we've got us news and quite a fascinating story. let me tell you. explosive new revelations about princess diana. that's

next to it. it's time now for us news with the queen of american showbiz royal and political reporting. kinsey schofield and kinsey , great news for you. kinsey, great news for you. a brand new documentary about diana and some big secrets being revealed . revealed. >> and hi , mark. i don't hear >> and hi, mark. i don't hear you, but you look so handsome and i don't know if you can hear me , but i can't hear you at all. me, but i can't hear you at all. but can you hear me now ? but can you hear me now? >> what are we going to do? we're going to get your audio sorted out because whilst we do that, let me tell you, i've got some amazing emails. the beano have gone woke a big reaction. mark at gb news dot com. let me just grab them off my phone. my phone has just gone mad, which is rather unhelpful . welcome to is rather unhelpful. welcome to live telly folks. it's not airbrushed or mark dolan tonight what you see is what you get. here you go. dj actually, it's david. david says hi, mark. this is simply part of the process to brainwash the next generation. this is the beano going woke . we this is the beano going woke. we all know it's madness, but far

too many people just stand by and watch . it is pathetic and and watch. it is pathetic and shameful . i'm also on the beano shameful. i'm also on the beano going woke this from antonio who says hi mark the beano, the woke tards are a bunch of weak willed idiots , but it all started back idiots, but it all started back in the 80 and the 90s when kids were not allowed to lose. given pnces were not allowed to lose. given prices for coming, given prizes for coming last, it did not matter if they were useless at sport or whatever . antonio, sport or whatever. antonio, thank you for that. keep those emails coming. delighted to say we've got the line back to kinsey and kinsey. now you can hear me, which is probably a mixed blessing. a new documentary about diana and perhaps some secrets revealed . perhaps some secrets revealed. >> that's right. dr. james colthurst , who was a dear friend colthurst, who was a dear friend to diana and the go between between between queen princess diana and andrew morton . when diana and andrew morton. when andrew morton wrote diana, her true story has an additional six hours of tapes that have never been heard before. and so he's

partnering with tom jennings , partnering with tom jennings, who's an emmy, i believe he's an emmy winning american filmmaker , where they're going to create a new documentary about princess diana, where she really delves into some of the relationships with her family members, her stepmother, raine , who famously stepmother, raine, who famously they called acid rain when they were growing up. but she became best friends with her. and jennings is also going to create a documentary about king charles. and he thinks that king charles. and he thinks that king charles is going to radically change the monarchy and actually predicts that he wouldn't be surprised if in five years you see the king giving a political speech, which i know you have opinions about. mark >> meanwhile , kinsey, donald >> meanwhile, kinsey, donald trump is back. >> meanwhile, kinsey, donald trump is back . let's take trump is back. let's take a listen. >> if i weren't running, i would have nobody coming after me or if i was losing by a lot, i would have nobody coming after me. and together we will crush crooked joe biden , the most

crooked joe biden, the most crooked president in the history of our country by far , and also of our country by far, and also grossly incompetent . it doesn't grossly incompetent. it doesn't know what he's doing . he's know what he's doing. he's destroying our country. we will win the election big and we will make america great again. thank you , kinsey. you, kinsey. >> this is a man who thinks he can win. >> he thinks he could win. and mark, i mean, if he does win , he mark, i mean, if he does win, he could pardon himself. so this is you know, i mean, there's a lot on the line here. so i'm sure that like so that that he'd like to win so that all this could go away. but all of this could go away. but you're absolutely right . he says you're absolutely right. he says that wouldn't this that he wouldn't be getting this negative attention and persecution it weren't for persecution if it weren't for how his poll numbers are how high his poll numbers are and how popular he is . and so, and how popular he is. and so, yeah, i mean, people are there are experts out there that say, yes, he could still run the constitution. there's no rules about not being convicted of a of a of any sort of crime not being able to run. he could run. he could win and he could pardon himself. what a what a chapter in the history books. >> now, i'm a big fan of jfk jr

,john >> now, i'm a big fan of jfk jr , john f kennedy jr who is bobby kennedy's son? this is a guy that wants to win the nomination to run for president for the democrats. therefore, a rival to joe biden. he's a man of principle. he's a top lawyer. he has railed against vaccine tyranny during the pandemic, but he's got a problem . tell me he's got a problem. tell me more. that's right. >> robert f kennedy jr , who is >> robert f kennedy jr, who is surprisingly very, you know, becoming very popular in the polling. i believe he was up 20% last time i checked , has claimed last time i checked, has claimed that the biden administration is not giving him the secret service protection that has been in place since 1968 when his father was assassinated. now the biden administration says that they've determined that secret service protection for him is not warranted at this time, despite a 67 page report that they provided to them showing them threats, showing them some of their security concerns . and of their security concerns. and as a taxpayer, mark, i'd much

rather throw my money behind security, protecting robert kennedy jr versus hunter biden . kennedy jr versus hunter biden. >> well, indeed, what a legend he is. he speaks with so much authority. robert kenny kennedy jr. and i think he'd make an amazing president. but we can but dream, can't we? hunter biden , joe biden's son continues biden, joe biden's son continues to bring more embarrassment to the white house. oh, yeah. >> you know , i'm sure you were >> you know, i'm sure you were aware of this sweetheart deal that collapsed last week. it really kind of took us all by surprise. it was supposed to be a five minute courtroom appearance. it turned into three hours where the judge looked at this, you know, outline and said unlimited immunity. and perpetuity. that doesn't make much sense. so basically , much sense. so basically, hunter, if he if they discovered that hunter was guilty of something down the line , mark, something down the line, mark, this deal would have protected him. and the judge said this doesn't look like anything i've ever had on desk before . i ever had on my desk before. i just can't justify this. so

hunter's sent home packing, told he has to get a job and take regular drug tests . can't drink, regular drug tests. can't drink, you know, can't get into any trouble. and he's really quite hostile over this deal falling apart. and then he jumps on a private jet, comes back over to los angeles where we find out his attorney, kevin morris , is his attorney, kevin morris, is doing paying for this docu mentary, this redemption story on hunter. so you know, more and more embarrassment for the biden family when it comes to hunter biden. he's what we would call in this country a rogue an which is far from what you are. >> kinsey, we'll see you in a week's >> kinsey, we'll see you in a weethank you. >> kinsey, we'll see you in a weedoank you. >> kinsey, we'll see you in a weedo checku. >> kinsey, we'll see you in a weedo check out kinsey's >> do check out kinsey's brilliant website to depher daily and her podcast of the same name. the papers are on their way, but first, the weather . weather. >> 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 met office. hope you're able to

energy bills. it's, of course, going to be a vote loser if the government doesn't do something about it. so it'll be interesting to see how they persuade the energy companies to bnng persuade the energy companies to bring these prices down. yeah, i mean, do we have a timeline for when energy bills will go to where they were before the ukraine war? well, it's a good point. i mean, it partly depends on on how long we stay in this this ukraine war that we seem to have started . i mean, if we came have started. i mean, if we came out of it tomorrow, then prices would come down really quickly, right? so that would be a nice thing. i mean, gas prices particularly are really cyclical. it was just a few years ago you couldn't couldn't give away . so if all things give it away. so if all things were equal, it would just come down naturally. but all things are not equal at the moment. >> jay bartosh sunday telegraph. i am on motorists side, says the prime minister as he orders review of anti—car schemes. this is politics, isn't it? he's showing disgruntled voters a bit of leg . of leg. >> yes. and about time too. really. i mean, i think i think

something something that does sort of bother me. it's a whole sort of bother me. it's a whole sort of bother me. it's a whole sort of rhetoric around electric cars, as if there's some sort of panacea and they're solve everything because actually. yes. you might have yes. okay. you might have cleaner a bit in cleaner air a little bit in london, but elsewhere where lithium's mined, you'll end up with polluted water sources. you end up with military coups, you end up with military coups, you end sort of nothing is, end up with sort of nothing is, you the cost of you know, the cost of civilisation , sadly, is of civilisation, sadly, is kind of environmental destruction , environmental destruction, right? so that's cheerful for a saturday night, but it's really true. >> and the issue is people >> and the issue is that people drive around electric cars drive around in electric cars and i've saved and they think, well, i've saved the you've got the the planet, but you've got the energy inputs to produce that car hanging on to car rather than hanging on to your passat. yeah. your volkswagen passat. yeah. which doesn't need to be built because already and because it's already there. and we'll for another we'll probably go for another few . plus, toyota few years. plus, toyota have pushed on electric car pushed back on electric car technology and they've done their fair bit the their fair bit for the environment with hybrids but environment with hybrids. but they've doesn't environment with hybrids. but they'v sense doesn't environment with hybrids. but they'v sense at doesn't environment with hybrids. but they'v sense at the doesn't environment with hybrids. but they'v sense at the moment because make sense at the moment because we're charging up electric cars with fuels . with fossil fuels. >> yeah. yeah. it goes >> yeah. yeah. well, it goes back the sort energy crisis. >> well, what i feel we need, joe, and i don't know what you

think, but echoes of the think, but it has echoes of the pandemic me, where industry, pandemic for me, where industry, we to have answer to we seem to have the answer to the problem. in the case of the problem. so in the case of the problem. so in the case of the pandemic, the vaccine the pandemic, it was the vaccine manufacturers, the pharmaceutical manufacturers, the pha answer. ical try anything the answer. don't try anything else. vaccine. else. just wait for the vaccine. and i now that it's and i feel now that it's industry who are driving net zero. to bring zero. i want to bring those emissions down. but it too emissions down. but is it too much to ask to have some kind of committee of evidence based scientists who can look at the pluses and minuses of all these different technologies? >> yeah, i think there's a disjuncture, isn't there, as well, between the science and then the sort of panicky , then the sort of panicky, alarmist headlines all the time, which makes it very difficult to know trust and, you know, know who to trust and, you know, which sources of authority generally are more authoritative. i feel authoritative. i mean, i feel totally lost. so it's really hard to try and find a sort of a clear line on what's actually happening that hasn't been. >> and like as you said, as with covid, you couldn't for a moment hear anybody on the other side, scientists , doctors, you know, scientists, doctors, you know, academics. they were absolutely cancelled, not allowed to speak.

same with with net zero. there's nobody that is allowed to speak in the mainstream media that might go, oh , i'm not sure that might go, oh, i'm not sure that thatis might go, oh, i'm not sure that that is right. and people you know, again, scientists, climate scientists, academics , scientists, academics, professors, people who really do know what they're talking about, who have an entirely different view from the mainstream, we're not hearing from them. and i'd like from them. not hearing from them. and i'd likeyes. from them. not hearing from them. and i'd likeyes. andfrom them. not hearing from them. and i'd likeyes. and iom them. not hearing from them. and i'd likeyes. and i think,em. not hearing from them. and i'd likeyes. and i think, you know, >> yes. and i think, you know, dunng >> yes. and i think, you know, during pandemic, you had during the pandemic, you had case sweden who case studies like sweden who didn't lockdowns didn't pursue strict lockdowns and and vaccine and mask mandates and vaccine mandates. boasted the mandates. they've boasted the lowest deaths in europe lowest excess deaths in europe going to 20 2020. similarly going back to 20 2020. similarly now we've got case studies like germany who actually have pushed hard on renewables for the last ten they cancelled their ten years. they cancelled their nuclear projects. and what happenedin nuclear projects. and what happened in the run up to the war ukraine, they were war in ukraine, they were purchasing tens of billions of pounds worth of russian oil and gas, gone into gas, and they've gone into recession as yet recession where we not as yet haven't . haven't. >> and it's incredible to me in my lifetime to see germany go into recession and doing badly. i mean, i'm just used to them motoring forward. >> well, did they did they have

breakfast? >> brexit as well? i'm assuming that's they're in trouble. that's why they're in trouble. oh, course, course. oh, of course, of course. >> naturally. yes, >> naturally. yes yes, naturally. that is the only reason many reason so many things. >> that so many things >> on that note, so many things don't make sense, honestly. generally, the reasons don't make sense, honestly. genelally, the reasons don't make sense, honestly. genel like the reasons don't make sense, honestly. genel like to the reasons don't make sense, honestly. genel like to come1e reasons don't make sense, honestly. genel like to come1e rthis ns don't make sense, honestly. genel like to come1e rthis show why i like to come on this show because to hear opinions and debates and hear debates on both sides and hear where going where things are at, even going back energy bills back to your your energy bills to listen the it to saw, listen to the line. it says the sky high energy bills due a lack of gas shortages, due to a lack of gas shortages, gas storage facilities to prevent shortages. if you've got a shortage gas , you don't a shortage of gas, you don't need the storage for gas. it's just what haven't got just like what we haven't got the the lack gas the storage for the lack of gas that we've like it that we've got. can like it doesn't make any sense. so it's all of that, it's all of this kind of confusion about it all and just different opinions and as a i'm a regular bloke, i'm just a regular guy, believe it or not. and i want to trust i want trust experts. i want to want to trust experts. i want to trust want to trust politicians. i want to trust politicians. i want to trust in power. and trust people in power. and i feel all that across the feel like all of that across the board, from police to politics is going. and that's very sad, very worrying for me. and it makes me question what it's what it's all about. yeah.

>> i'm quite happy to >> i mean, i'm quite happy to have i want have measures, but i want measures that evidence based measures that are evidence based and will actually work and that will actually work rather than bankrupt economy rather than bankrupt the economy for global leadership. for so called global leadership. whilst china, america, brazil and india burn fossil fuels for fun , it doesn't add up. but fun, it doesn't add up. but there you go. look interesting line tommy in the sunday line also, tommy in the sunday telegraph, hs2 appears unachievable, says us watchdog. it's difficult , isn't it? that it's difficult, isn't it? that story right. hs2 the stage we're at now is you're in the casino. you've already spent most of your money committed. yeah you're not. you can't really get out now, can you? what do you think about hs2 ? should it be think about hs2? should it be scrapped ? scrapped? >> look, we don't know. again what's going on behind the scenes and why why is it escalated? did the people escalated? why did the people who into place in who put this plan into place in the first place, the first in the first place, why they allowed to why are they allowed to escalate? what did they get so wrong? will is not wrong? what i will say is not a correlation to hs2 like the elizabeth line is fantastic. yes it's so good. so when lines work brilliantly, the elizabeth line literally has felt like it's

made london a quarter of the size, a third of the size for me to go across from east to west to go across from east to west to come here paddington. so for that reason, i'm like, if we get those rails working, we can those rails working, if we can get services in get our efficient services in place, look at, you know, place, i look at, you know, other the and other parts of the world and japan where runs to the japan where it runs to down the second things second and things like that. i think, oh, come why? why think, oh, come on, why? why haven't we that ability? haven't we got that ability? we've brains, we've got we've got the brains, we've got the power, we've got the knowledge, the knowledge, we've got the backing. there backing. why isn't there why is this escalated i did any this escalated off? if i did any project, was property project, if it was a property project, if it was a property project and allowed costs to project and allowed the costs to escalate they i escalate to where they are, i would answer your would now to answer your question, have to see it through. you're too down the through. you're too far down the line to rewind it back line because to rewind it back would damaging. would be even more damaging. well jasmine? well what do you think, jasmine? >> it's as tommy says, it's really difficult to know without knowing the ins and outs that, you know, behind the scenes. i've friend who's i've got one friend who's who works he it's works on hs2. he thinks it's marvellous . works on hs2. he thinks it's marvellous. he does all works on hs2. he thinks it's marvellous . he does all these marvellous. he does all these sort of rewilding and planting trees all of that . i've got trees and all of that. i've got other friends who live in the areas it's going to go areas where it's going to go through. they they hate it. they cannot anything good about cannot say anything good about it. and anybody i know who lives

in those areas where it's going through, they are jumping through, they they are jumping up and down screaming that it's going to be no good . it does going to be no good. it does honestly a bit a honestly seem like a bit of a white elephant. but, you know, as if you've put as tommy says, if you've put that amount of money and taxpayers money, very taxpayers money, thank you very much to produce much, we have to produce something . i don't know what. something. i don't know what. >> no one predicted. the pandemic which people could pandemic in which people could work and have work from home and many now have stayed home. joe but you stayed at home. joe but you never regret infrastructure , do never regret infrastructure, do you ? you? >>i you? >> i don't think so. i mean, i, i kind of i'm inclined to, to agree with you both that it's just got to go ahead. but i do think in a way, though, that yeah, i mean, you look at city centres, look at sort centres, you look at sort of commuting patterns, have commuting patterns, things have changed. much, not just since changed. so much, not just since the pandemic, but just since the sort since digital world. sort of since the digital world. and really feel like the and i don't really feel like the real world has caught up. >> yeah, no, think that's real world has caught up. >> ye at, no, think that's real world has caught up. >> ye a very, think that's real world has caught up. >> ye a very, thirfairiat's real world has caught up. >> ye a very, thirfair point. that's a very, very fair point. let's at this story. let's have a look at this story. we're getting a lot of material in the telegraph, but let me have a look before i get in the telegraph, but let me ha nigel look before i get in the telegraph, but let me ha nigel farage 3k before i get in the telegraph, but let me ha nigel farage and afore i get in the telegraph, but let me ha nigel farage and his; i get to nigel farage and his de—banking sunday de—banking campaign. sunday mirror joe hypocrite pm's air
