story with the government's plans to tackle the crisis making seemingly very little progress has this now become an invasion .7 ian, should we be invasion? ian, should we be worried about the impact on our values and on our culture, especially towards women? i'm joined by former government special adviser james price. will also be joined by the former conservative and ukip mp, the great douglas carswell, to discuss everything from kellogg's believe it or not, to taking the knee. and in my hot take at ten virtue signalling hits a new peak as the premier league announced the players will taking the knee will indeed be taking the knee in some games this season. it's all very weird. i'll be explaining all later and tonight's is the tonight's newsmaker is the renowned youtuber and political commentator. the one and only maya toosi , who will be giving maya toosi, who will be giving us his $0.02 on this young autistic arrested for autistic girl arrested for mildly offending a police officer and the latest walkout as well by junior doctors do you think that is costing lives? should they be banned from striking strong views on either side of that gb news is the home

of the papers as well, with tomorrow's front pages from 1030. now with three top pundits who haven't been told what to say and who do not follow the script . tonight we have author script. tonight we have author and journalist emma. well, we also have political and social commentator lin mei, and we have gb news contributor and fan favourite albie amankona as well. now tonight i will be asking the pundits with crowds and crowds of antisocial behaviour descending on oxford street, those young feral youths and spreading out as well to other parts of the country . is other parts of the country. is this disorder now the result of the breakdown of the traditional nuclear family? and with gb news delving into b corp's application processes and criteria for staff are our big institutions being infiltrated by leftists and wokery? plus of course your emails. this show really is all about you . we really is all about you. we especially like the spicy ones, so get them in

gbviews@gbnews.com this show has a golden rule. we don't do bonng. a golden rule. we don't do boring . not on my watch. i just boring. not on my watch. i just won't have it. let's get to work and we start of course with my big opinion . well, our approach big opinion. well, our approach to the migrant crisis is so shambolic it almost feels deliberate, doesn't it? the latest scandal in the last couple of hours, believe it or not, is this an organised crime? gang has broken into an airfield and stolen information and evidence of people smuggling operations across the channel yeah, apparently a hard drive was stolen from a safe and they managed to break in simply by cutting a hole in some tarps in at lydd airfield . i mean, it was at lydd airfield. i mean, it was hardly fort knox, was it? for goodness sake, we can't even keep safe . the information that keep safe. the information that we hold about people who are not keeping our borders safe. you just couldn't make it up. that's after it emerged today that after it emerged today that after struggling to find 39 people out of the 170,000 people

currently on our asylum seeker backlog waiting list to get on that bibby stockholm barge, well, we've now to evacuate them all because legion nas has been detected in the water system. yesterday we welcomed our 100,000th channel migrants on a record day of crossings that saw about 750 new arrivals, a multi—million pound drone crashed into the water and a border force boat broke down. the biggest joke of all, though, i think , is that we are going to i think, is that we are going to all of this effort, all of this expense , all of this aggro, the expense, all of this aggro, the nafion expense, all of this aggro, the nation tearing itself apart over the channel, migrant crisis when the channel, migrant crisis when the entire premise of it is wrong as well . it seems to me wrong as well. it seems to me that this whole thing would fall apart if more people just admitted that vast swathes of people are just economic migrants. look, check this guy out. this is on bbc newsnight. they spoke to a bloke apparently from the gambia about why he decided to come all the way to britain via the channel. that's

my country, the gambia, because i felt that i could not realise my dream there. >> at the same time i was going to school. but at a certain point i became a dropout because education in africa, especially in gambia, is very expensive . so in gambia, is very expensive. so i my country in order to i left my country in order to pursue for higher education. >> well, that is economic migration , isn't it? now i'm not migration, isn't it? now i'm not knocking it , okay? i would knocking it, okay? i would probably do the same if i was from the gambia. but all this effort, this effort, taxpayers money, this whole nightmare is based on the premise that people coming across channel actually across the channel are actually asylum that is at asylum seekers, and that is at best very questionable and at worst a complete lie . we are worst a complete lie. we are just living a lie , aren't we? just living a lie, aren't we? i think lies on top of lies that these people all need salvation, a barge or rwanda will actually act as a deterrent, that we're doing all we can to stop this, that lawyers don't have a political and moneymaking agenda to keep this migrant crisis going. i don't know about you. okay but i am just sick of the whole thing .

whole thing. we well, what do you think? and do you agree? do you disagree? vaiews@gbnews.com. i'll get to the emails a little bit later after the break. now reacting to my big opinion on my brilliant pundits, author and journalist emma wolf. we've got political and social commentator lin mei and social commentator lin mei and we've got gb news contributor albie amankona . contributor albie amankona. where to start? emma i will start with you. it is now just an absolute circus . it's an absolute circus. it's completely and utterly. it's a farce. it's like fawlty towers. it's carry on up the channel. it's carry on up the channel. it's all about, isn't it? >> it's ludicrous. if the economy doesn't sink this government, then migration will. >> and as a writer , i try not to >> and as a writer, i try not to use the same words more than once, but i think you said it shambolic. is the word shambolic. shambolic is the word that i have literally been using about this farce for weeks now . about this farce for weeks now. we're being clear. about this farce for weeks now. we're being clear . the we're just not being clear. the bibby stockholm is a complete

farce. it's not going to it's not even going to house, if not even going to house, even if it overrun by it wasn't overrun by legionnaires , it wouldn't even legionnaires, it wouldn't even house pretty much the entire influx from yesterday. for example, we'd be 250 over. yeah, exactly . that that's not exactly. that that's not working. that is a panicky reactive response to a problem which goes way, way back, which government? successive governments have failed to grasp. and we need to , you know, grasp. and we need to, you know, we need to get to the root of this problem in a far more fundamental sense. >> you in now. what >> i'll bring you in now. what do you reckon to then? do do you reckon to this then? do you think that there actually do you reckon to this then? do you wayk that there actually do you reckon to this then? do you way orhat there actually do you reckon to this then? do you way or have|ere actually do you reckon to this then? do you way or have you actually do you reckon to this then? do you way or have you just tually do you reckon to this then? do you way or have you just given any way or have you just given up do echo yourself and yourself. >> it's an absolute circus. but i would say, and i'm in no way in support of this government deaung in support of this government dealing with a multitude of issues, especially migration. but thing is , i do get but the thing is, i do get a sense of they are trying and they are trying different things . and i think it's so for easy us to have all these criticisms towards the government. you know, they're trying ensure know, they're trying to ensure that taxpayers money is not that our taxpayers money is not

being you know, 6 million being spent. you know, 6 million every day in okay every day in hotels. okay they've looked an they've looked at an alternative. there's hiccups . alternative. there's hiccups. there's be there's always going to be hiccups. suggestion would hiccups. and my suggestion would be to other people be or question to other people is, what else is there to is, okay, what else is there to do ? do? >> you okay, i'll be what do you make of this? because i think a lot of people just think, let's just roll over. think of england and watch it fade away . okay. and watch it fade away. okay. >> well, i'm just glad you didn't ask me what else is there to do? because honestly, i'm not sure i'm not sure anyone sure anyone i'm not sure anyone knows what else we do. knows what else we can do. >> because was to ask >> because i was going to ask you right . safe and >> because i was going to ask you right. safe and legal you this right. safe and legal routes. yeah. this is getting wheeled out all the time. yeah. and part of me now, and this may well be controversial to people, part of me is thinking , i mean, part of me is thinking, i mean, how much worse could safe and legal routes really be? >> i think the whole point of safe and legal routes , the way safe and legal routes, the way that it would work, in my mind at least, is if you have a strong deterrent. >> so that would be rwanda and then safe and legal routes which would to over would allow people to come over legally so that therefore you're

truly breaking the business model stopping from model and stopping people from crossing i think crossing the channel. i think that's the idea behind safe. >> one of the things >> i think one of the things that was that we that really got me was that we actually to allow now an actually managed to allow now an organised gang to break in organised crime gang to break in to an airfield where we keep drones, planes and the information that we possess about the human trafficking gangsin about the human trafficking gangs in supposedly a locked safe that is contained itself within basically just a tent. and for them to nick it, i mean that sums it up , doesn't it? that sums it up, doesn't it? >> and there are things that we could do that aren't just about pushing the boats back, which is ludicrous. you can't capsize boats die in the boats and let people die in the water. that. no, water. you can't do that. no, you need with the you need to deal with the problem much further back where it you need break the it starts. you need to break the business alby says, business model. as alby says, you don't just respond by by putting floating barges around our country . that's not the way our country. that's not the way to it . you need to. to do it. you need to. >> not these ones, because apparently they've all got diseases them. apparently they've all got dis

problem the government problem and lynn, and the real proitrying the government problem and lynn, and the real proitrying do the government problem and lynn, and the real proitrying do something,ment are trying to do something, but they at with themselves are trying to do something, but tisuella at with themselves are trying to do something, but tisuella braverman| themselves are trying to do something, but tisuella braverman and mselves are trying to do something, but tisuella braverman and alllves are trying to do something, but tisuella braverman and all her . suella braverman and all her attempts have been foiled and prevented . therefore, they can't prevented. therefore, they can't get anything through because they're fighting all the infighting that is going on. there concern and joined there is no concern and joined up thinking on this, but when you you say, you know, you when you say, you know, break the business model, i used you when you say, you know, br

actually, were from actually, that if you were from the you probably try and the gambia, you probably try and move think move here too. i think there's nothing. nothing. nothing. there's nothing. there's nothing that can stop. there's nothing that can stop. there's can stop there's nothing that can stop. therhuman can stop there's nothing that can stop. therhuman impulse can stop there's nothing that can stop. therhuman impulse to1 stop there's nothing that can stop. therhuman impulse to move to that human impulse to move to get life. and that's get a better life. and that's what against. what we're fighting against. >> , we are. >> yeah, we are. >> and i get that there is that >> yeah, we are. >> andimpulse. ll there is that >> yeah, we are. >> andimpulse. absolutely.�*|at >> yeah, we are. >> andimpulse. absolutely. the human impulse. absolutely. the thing is, if we flipped it on its head. okay. and we did some kind of newsnight interview or newsnight interviewed me and they to they said, what are you going to do? i don't do? and i said, i don't think i've got anything life i've got anything for my life here in britain, so i'm just going to rock up in germany and live taxpayers expense live at the taxpayers expense and to leave. and then refuse to leave. i think bbc newsnight would probably call illegal probably call me an illegal immigrant, but don't tend immigrant, but they don't tend to do that with some know to do that with some of the know what frustrates me is we have loads let's say, loads of, let's say, partnerships even aid that we provide. >> these countries and we are not putting pressure on the government after their government to look after their citizens, citizens better leaders, they send leaders, politicians. they send their children here school. their children here to school. they our hospital services , they use our hospital services, our nhs, so on and so forth , or our nhs, so on and so forth, or private services. but then when it comes to looking after their citizens , we're not putting

citizens, we're not putting we're not encouraging them to do that. that's why they come here. >> but what pressure could you put on the on the government of a to look a third world country to look after their where does this aid go?what that where does the >> what does that where does the aid go? >> what pressure? what >> what is pressure? what is putting the gambian putting pressure on the gambian government working with them, talking talking our talking to them, talking to our european talking? european allies, talking? what does like? european allies, talking? what donkay, like? european allies, talking? what donkay, you're ? european allies, talking? what donkay, you're no longer going >> okay, you're no longer going to cannot do to receive aid if you cannot do what it could look like genuinely , know, what it genuinely, you know, what it could is flying planes could look like is flying planes full of their citizens back over and leaving them at the airport. >> return to this >> but we will return to this story. we return this story. we will return to this story. we will return to this story coming up in the big story. migrant crisis story. with the migrant crisis showing and showing no sign of subsiding and with crossing, with record numbers crossing, the turned into the channel has it turned into an invasion of people who thought suella thought that what suella braverman was a bit braverman was saying was a bit fruity a bit or have fruity and a bit wrong? or have they i'll be joined fruity and a bit wrong? or have theveteran i'll be joined fruity and a bit wrong? or have theveteran former i'll be joined fruity and a bit wrong? or have theveteran former governmented by veteran former government special adviser james price. i special adviserjames price. i will see you in just a couple of

radio. >> your views have been flooding in time for a couple of them.

now clare's been on. thank you, claire. we only have option claire. we only have one option left, is to tow the left, and that is to tow the boat straight back before they land. look, this has been put out few times. do you out there a few times. do you remember days old remember the days of the old wave machine well? we were wave machine as well? we were thinking putting thinking about putting a wave machine people machine in the channel. people laughed the laughed at that initially at the time, i wonder how time, didn't they? i wonder how many would be in favour many people would be in favour of now. says migration of it now. graham says migration totally control. left totally out of control. the left run country. way run this country. the only way we of getting this we have a chance of getting this sorted is to the echr sorted is to leave the echr that's interesting though, because a of people don't because a lot of people don't want to leave the echr i'd be bang for it. thought it was bang up for it. i thought it was a prerequisite of us voting for brexit, perfectly brexit, to be perfectly honest with graham, with you, graham and graham, you mentioned that i'm going mentioned a point that i'm going to return to little bit later to return to a little bit later on which about on actually, which is about whether various different whether or not various different institutions politically infiltrated by politically motivated who do not motivated factions who do not have.i motivated factions who do not have. i would argue, the will of this country and our democratically elected governments policies at their heart . but we know about these heart. but we know about these relentless channel crossings. okay? yesterday, like i said 755 individuals detected on our shores. we all know about the fact that now it's hit 100,000

since 2018. but what doesn't get spoken about enough for me is the potential cultural implications ions of this. so the public have major concerns about the economy , yet fine about the economy, yet fine housing safety , crime, the use housing safety, crime, the use of taxpayers money. we all know about all of this , but with so about all of this, but with so many people, mostly young men , many people, mostly young men, coming from countries with very different values, some would argue morals , cultures, should argue morals, cultures, should this also be a cause for concern 7 this also be a cause for concern ? i'm asking a simple question. do you think that women are more or less safe on the streets as a result of mass illegal immigration ? on has this immigration? on has this uncontrolled influx now become an invasion ? i'm joined by an invasion? i'm joined by former government special adviser james former government special adviserjames price, a fabulous adviser james price, a fabulous addition to indeed this show and any other one as well . james, any other one as well. james, has it become an invasion ? has it become an invasion? >> thank you so much for having me. good evening. i think invasion is obviously a word that implies that there is some

kind of deep motive that is being controlled from some central point. i think the real nub here, the problem is that the policymakers in whitehall, all in the home office and wherever else , they're very poor wherever else, they're very poor at being able to tackle the sorts of questions that you're asking about, questions about culture, about culture, questions about morality, questions about religion , perhaps these are religion, perhaps these are very, very difficult things, especially in slightly especially in our slightly morally straitened times when people are rightly don't want to cause offence , they get very cause offence, they get very nervous causing offence , nervous about causing offence, but makes it very difficult but it makes it very difficult for to be able to for policy makers to be able to factor of things in. factor these sorts of things in. you've the office budget you've got the office for budget responsibility , which is an responsibility, which is an independent marker that rightly can hold government to account. it says immigration is a wonderful thing. lots of new young people coming in who will contribute to the workforce and taxes all these sorts of taxes and all these sorts of things, there is real things, but there is no real marker as that will marker, as you say, that will work cultural issues, work out cultural issues, religious issues for good or for ill. >> but but is it not common sense? mean, if you have a lot sense? i mean, if you have a lot of men from countries

of young men from countries where very, where they treat women very, very where they very differently, where they treat gay people very, very differently where is differently, and where there is a different moral compass, i suppose you could argue. and then no pressure on then there is no pressure on them whatsoever them to integrate whatsoever ehhen them to integrate whatsoever either. we aren't going to end up with those problems in britain, aren't we? and shouldn't that be a cause for concern. >> i think we can take this as a ratcheting effect. if you introduce an awful lot of one set of demographics, no matter who they are or what they will be, that will create some kind of imbalance in this case. exactly. you say, of exactly. as you say, lots of young well, that means that young men. well, that means that their behaviour not as many future partners for them as they might and can cause might like and that can cause some problems. that some problems. you see that happening a result happening in china as a result of child policy. you can of the one child policy. you can see result wars see this as a result of wars historically ratchet it up again. as you say, if there are people different people who have different cultural that can be cultural mores, that can be a challenge. if you don't have a very activist policy of helping people integrate, of learning what is makes this what it is that makes this country tolerant and so country so tolerant and so wonderful great. and the

wonderful and so great. and the problem haven't problem is that we haven't really awful lot really seen an awful lot of those of policies even be those kinds of policies even be attempted by central whitehall and westminster. and when you apply that to the fact that take in the home office, we've had these stories lots civil these stories that lots of civil servants saying , i think servants are saying, i think this really mean and immoral this is really mean and immoral and do it, then and i'm not going to do it, then it it even more difficult it makes it even more difficult for the democratically elected government pursue any government to try and pursue any of at all. government to try and pursue any of but at all. government to try and pursue any of but is at all. government to try and pursue any of but is this at all. government to try and pursue any of but is this at a a europe wide >> but is this not a europe wide problem? i can't help but feel as though my future children grand children, great grandchildren will look back and scratch their heads and wonder why the people of europe decided that their culture was not worth preserving . yeah preserving. yeah >> yeah. and this is something that we're not comfortable talking about. you know, i've. i like to watch on gb news and we talk about how great britain is. europe as well. you know, maybe with the exception of the french, very french, you know, we're very happy about the happy to talk about some of the wonders european civilisation wonders of european civilisation and wonderful and culture and the wonderful things the world. things they've given the world. i we might end up i think what we might end up seeing that continental

seeing is that continental europe a lot of europe will start doing a lot of things stem migration things to stem migration flows that we in britain, who have been more heavily influenced perhaps by american liberalism, will to find very will start to find very unpleasant . and you might even unpleasant. and you might even see in years time that the see in ten years time that the campaign rejoin the eu will campaign to rejoin the eu will suddenly a right wing suddenly become a right wing issue rather than left wing. issue rather than a left wing. fascinating imagine fascinating point. imagine that is really good point is that is a really good point and i'm glad you've raised it, because that border because we know that border security , since we voted for security, since we voted for brexit, has got worse, basically, hasn't it? >> really? have decided, >> really? we have decided, as far i can tell, to adopt it. far as i can tell, to adopt it. almost none of the benefits that we could have done in the wake of the brexit referendum deliberately so, remarkably, so stupidly so in my view, we are waiting, i think, for the italians, for the french, for the germans, for a few other nations, the greeks, maybe to act hardcore against what's going on. and then we will do it as opposed to us just taking the lead. and i find that staggering. what are we so

scared of? why are we so afraid of standing alone and doing what's own best interests ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7— >> i think it's a ? >> i think it's a really great question . and i think, again, question. and i think, again, when you look at the british population, every time red nose day children in need comes along , we in our pockets. , we dig deep in our pockets. look at what's with look at what's happened with ukraine, scheme and at ukraine, the visa scheme and at the moment, the place i work, we've ukrainian we've hired a young ukrainian who over on the visa who came over on the visa scheme. incredibly impressive person. obviously she's here to be kept safe from the horrible war. but every every young , war. but every every young, economically active chap who comes over here on a small boat takes up resources and space, especially with the housing crisis we have at the moment. and frankly saps away some of the goodwill that could be being spent either this girl or any spent on either this girl or any other person who is either in massive need or perhaps the best and the brightest . and we can't and the brightest. and we can't take into the world. take everybody into the world. britain the only place britain can't be the only place where people go to realise their dreams. you can't an dreams. you can't derive an ought from an is. as david hume once said , and i think you're

once said, and i think you're right. i think there is a fundamental how you get fundamental problem how you get to . it a to address it. it requires a change in the civil services culture, ironically, about the way that they look at culture. >> yeah. so actually very well put, james. thank you very much . an absolute pleasure. that's james price. there is a former government special adviser. i think need think some people maybe need to hold mirror up to hold a bit of a mirror up to themselves. when things themselves. and when things happen like we had recently in sudan there will be sudan and no doubt there will be another that breaks out another conflict that breaks out in country there in another country where there are citizens as are british citizens as well as very and people very genuine refugees and people stand up in the house of lords and they why aren't we and they say, why aren't we doing we've got certain doing more? we've got certain commentators. britain should be doing you may doing more on this. and you may well right that may well be well be right that may well be an issue where we should be doing but the question doing more. but the question of why we're not may well have a lot to do with what we are already doing needlessly. so a waste of resources, some would say , certain aspects of say, in certain other aspects of our society. if you disagree with me of course, make sure that do in touch. that you do get in touch. vaiews@gbnews.com. i go to the emails a lot throughout the course of the show. we're veering from the migrant

veering away from the migrant crisis everybody very crisis now. everybody were very pleased coming next pleased to know. coming up next with pundits. is with the pundits. this is fascinating. large scale fascinating. so the large scale antisocial saw antisocial behaviour that we saw in london oxford street in london on oxford street recently load of young people just going absolutely feral . uh, just going absolutely feral. uh, that by the way, will no doubt be happening town or a city be happening at a town or a city near you soon. i wonder though with all of this is it just a lack of respect for law and order? i'm not sure. i think it's result of the breakdown it's the result of the breakdown of the convention royal family. so i'm going to be getting stuck into my pundits in into that with my pundits in just . i will see you in just a tick. i will see you in three. but right now it's your weather feeling weather, that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers >> proud sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there . welcome to your >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast . i'm greg dewhurst and looking at the weekend be summarised by sunshine and scattered showers particularly heavy on saturday and looking at the bigger picture, we can see why this area of low pressure moves in for the weekend. increasing the wind strengths increase ,

that, though, really is this a leftist infiltration of our institutions ? and i will start institutions? and i will start with you. for a lot of people, all they'd always had that kind of joke, really, i think, which was like, oh, they're not going of joke, really, i think, which waemploy)h, they're not going of joke, really, i think, which waemploy you 1ey're not going of joke, really, i think, which waemploy you becauset going of joke, really, i think, which waemploy you because you're| of joke, really, i think, which waemploy you because you're a to employ you because you're a straight and now it straight white man. and now it actually might actually looks like they might not because a not employ you because you're a straight you straight white man. yeah you know what? >> think is deeply >> i think this is deeply patronising utterly kind of patronising and utterly kind of infantilizing. we don't need this kind of box ticking. you don't need. don't need rainbow don't need. i don't need rainbow bows on every shop window or every street crossing. i don't need. why what are we. what are we so scared of ? why are we so we so scared of? why are we so scared of causing offence at the moment? don't we just stand moment? why don't we just stand up and say what we believe? why don't we just treat people with respect? all this respect? what is all this nonsense and nonsense about diversity and inclusion , which is about inclusion, which is about saying, have you got lots of lgbt people at the top of your organisation? and then getting scored on it? >> nonsense ? >> is it nonsense? >> is it nonsense? >> no, i wouldn't say it's completely because completely nonsense because i think fault of the think this is the fault of the country. initially, if we look

at, let's say for example, minority groups , when david minority groups, when david cameron actually had this looked into people with, let's say a foreign name , mainly asian and foreign name, mainly asian and african, even though they had many of the credentials they were held back. and if we look at, let's say middle class white people, they've benefited from nepotism where they don't they may not be good at the job, but because mummy and daddy know someone, a ceo, they the job because mummy and daddy know somerespect. eo, they the job with respect. >> that not the same in >> is that not the same in countries like nigeria, for example? >> opportunity as >> the opportunity as as we know, has decimated many know, britain has decimated many countries in the middle east and in africa. >> so no, they're not going to get the same opportunities as they here. so i think it they would here. so i think it shouldn't go on indefinitely. i think we're doing too much now. however when we first started to look at diversity, i don't think however when we first started to looiall diversity, i don't think however when we first started to looiall badersity, i don't think however when we first started to looiall bad for:y, i don't think however when we first started to looiall bad for the don't think however when we first started to looiall bad for the simplerink however when we first started to looiall bad for the simple fact it's all bad for the simple fact that have the credentials that if i have the credentials because my name is a foreign name , i should shouldn't be overlooked. >> interesting. albie, what about completely a blind job? applications does that not solve everything? there's no name on

any job application whatsoever . any job application whatsoever. are we all just, you know, submit it with a number or something? yeah i think blind cvs are a really good idea , but cvs are a really good idea, but it's not actually just about the name is a blind cv. name which is off a blind cv. >> also things like where >> it's also things like where you went to university. of course, this just about course, this is not just about race it's also about race and gender. it's also about class what you find is that class and what you find is that people who went to certain universities , just by virtue universities, just by virtue of going or cambridge or going to oxford or cambridge or or russell group or whichever russell group university it is, are more likely to get a job than someone that might gone to an that might have gone to an polytechnic, example , or polytechnic, for example, or someone not not technical. >> i get what you mean, but is that actually just a sign , a that not actually just a sign, a way as human beings way that we as human beings batus decipher who is more intelligent than somebody else? we to some markers. we have to have some markers. >> know. >> no, that's the know. >> no, that's the know. >> met, have never >> you never met, have you never met private school kid went to met a private school kid went to oxford? >> yeah they exist. >> yeah, they exist. >> yeah, they exist. >> i've some idiots that's >> i've met some idiots that's gone to oxford. >> so can't just say, >> so you can't always just say, oh, well , this has gone oh, well, this person has gone to done ppe, and to oxford and done ppe, and therefore they are qualified at therefore they are qualified at the job. look at boris johnson,

for sake. you know, for goodness sake. you know, we've hole going to we've got a hole that's going to go like cup sick. go down like a cup of cold sick. >> but also know with >> but we also know with parents, know that parents parents, we know that parents also pay their way for their also can pay their way for their child to get into certain schools. >> but there's also an assumption you're white >> but there's also an assl middle you're white >> but there's also an assl middle class you're white >> but there's also an assl middle class that|'re white >> but there's also an assl middle class that you vhite >> but there's also an assl middle class that you area >> but there's also an assl middle class that you are , and middle class that you are, you of mum and dad you know, bank of mum and dad and you've i don't and that you've had, i don't think there's privileges all the way through life. way through your life. >> assumption that if >> there's an assumption that if you're you're to you're black, you're going to be lazy, going to be on lazy, you're not going to be on time. assumptions time. there are assumptions everywhere, which is why actually blind cvs actually i think the blind cvs are a good idea. the box ticking is too much, too much. is too much, it's too much. >> the visually impaired cvs, these days, you know, you can't possibly say cvs, possibly say blind cvs, unfortunately, get what unfortunately, but i do get what you mean. unfortunately, but i do get what youthean. unfortunately, but i do get what youtheidea unfortunately, but i do get what youthe idea that diversity >> the idea that all diversity inclusion is useless . no, but pointless. >> i agree. it's getting insulting. >> it's getting insulted. >> it's getting insulted. >> getting insulted . i agree >> getting insulted. i agree with lynne may says. with what lynne may says. absolutely about it being absolutely about about it being necessary in the beginning and just try and include more just to try and include more just to try and include more just try include more just to try and include more different types people of , of different types of people of, of different types of people of, of different races, of different genden different races, of different gender, whatever. but you don't need about sexuality gender, whatever. but you don't neyour about sexuality gender, whatever. but you don't ne your employees sexuality gender, whatever. but you don't neyour employees in sexuality gender, whatever. but you don't neyour employees in orderrality gender, whatever. but you don't neyour employees in order to ty of your employees in order to tick boxes to get points and

yeah. >> and if you're being it's getting worse if the worth of your company or how good at your job you are or the service that you is basically around you provide is basically around how many people of a particular demographic you employ. i mean, for me that's just bonkers. it's got to be actually what you're doing. talk to you doing. but i want to talk to you about this. it's an interesting dimension now. so dimension to this story now. so social been blamed social media has been blamed as the in the source for a rise in shoplifting in oxford street this but it's not just this week. but it's not just london. sure anyone who's london. i'm sure anyone who's living any or city will living in any town or city will have seen a rise in have probably seen a rise in things like theft, things like petty theft, etcetera. west end stores, etcetera. so west end stores, though, forced to lower though, were forced to lower their and lock their shutters and lock customers inside during an incident by a tik tok incident sparked by a tik tok post. however social media cannot be wholly to blame for me because i could have seen this when i was growing up. i daresay a lot of people would have done as and not acted on it. as well and not acted on it. you're not compelled to act on this i have done this stuff. i wouldn't have done that i didn't really that a because i didn't really want because i would have want to be because i would have been afraid to get caught. but see, i would been see, because i would have been too parents

too afraid of what my parents would said when i got would have said when i got caught. thought to those caught. and i thought to those people, they're those kids not care that . and what is care about that. and what is their home like ? could it their home life like? could it be to breakdown of a be down to the breakdown of a traditional nuclear family? emma i really object. >> patrick i mostly agree with you, but i really object to this and i'm sorry to bring myself into this. i am a single mother. ihave into this. i am a single mother. i have a baby boy. this use of the word nuclear, i'm bringing him up with respect, with values, with an impeccable, impeccable, beautiful manners with please and thank you . with with please and thank you. with boundaries, with discipline , boundaries, with discipline, with no television. i am bringing up a little citizen into the world. nothing to do with the conventional family. i'm a single which has i'm a single mother, which has a kind of taint and a whiff then and the father not. i think and say the father not. i think it's if you it's your son's life, if you don't me answering. don't mind me answering. >> well, i do mind you, i do mind you asking. >> well, i do mind you, i do mirii you asking. >> well, i do mind you, i do miri agree.sking. >> well, i do mind you, i do miri agree.skin about the >> i agree. it's about the breakdown society and things breakdown of society and things like this invasion, like that. this this invasion, i think it's more do think i think it's more to do with kids , young people. with with kids, young people. no youth borders hell sitting youth club borders hell sitting in their rooms staring mobile in their rooms staring at mobile phones for ten hours in darkened

bedrooms. >> i don't i don't really buy this whole , oh, well, if these this whole, oh, well, if these kids had a have a youth club with a ping pong they with a ping pong table, they wouldn't something. with a ping pong table, they wotsomething something. with a ping pong table, they wotsomething to something. with a ping pong table, they wotsomething to do.»mething. >> something to do. >> something to do. >> something to do. >> so i'll bring myself into it. i'm a black single parent i'm from a black single parent household have some of household and we have some of the worst outcomes in the entire country. and i do actually think that some of this does come from the fact that some of these people and a of them are people and a lot of them are black are from black people, are coming from fatherless households with not proper discipline . that is not fatherless households with not pr> that's true. >> that's very true. >> that's very true. >> i was aiming at is >> what i was aiming at is fathers being a part of the

children's life. and if you look at caribbean statistics specifically , i don't know the specifically, i don't know the make up, but as you said, as you said, mean, we've seen the said, i mean, we've seen the video , we have majority video sadly, we have majority the majority are black children. and if you look at the stats of absent fathers within the home of caribbean households, british, black, caribbean , it's british, black, caribbean, it's extremely low . extremely low. >> right. so should we stay dogmatise absent fathers more than we do? should we shame stigmatise fathers, not the mothers. >> and i think where society has got it wrong is that the stigma is attached to the mother because she's the one that turns up at school on her own. so she's the one that society looks at and says she's done something wrong. the fathers wrong. whereas the fathers aren't much aren't there. there's too much tolerance of absent fathers and there's stigma attached there's too much stigma attached to mothers. to single mothers. >> emma, i'm going to ask >> okay, emma, i'm going to ask you about this now, though. do you about this now, though. do you parents now are you think that parents now are actually own actually scared of their own kids? >> w- 9 that we have as a >> i think that we have as a society , we we have a society, we i think we have a problem discipline and problem with discipline and boundanes

problem with discipline and boundaries saying, no, that boundaries and saying, no, that is acceptable. is not is not acceptable. that is not acceptable . we have a problem acceptable. we have a problem with it's with violence. we have it's scary to say to a kid on the bus, you turn that bus, you know, can you turn that down? you shut because down? can you shut up? because you we have a problem you might get we have a problem with knife crime in london and probably the country. probably around the country. so i problem with i think there's a problem with just actually, that's i think there's a problem with just acceptable.jally, that's i think there's a problem with just acceptable.jally,thist's i think there's a problem with justacceptable.jally,this goes not acceptable. and this goes back wokery thing where back to the wokery thing where everything is okay. it's absolutely for child absolutely fine for your child to dinosaur to say that they're a dinosaur at the age of three and they want to self—identify as a as a girl of saying, no, girl instead of saying, no, actually a boy, but it's actually you're a boy, but it's fine want to dress up in fine if you want to dress up in a that's fine. but you're a dress, that's fine. but you're not transitioning. not socially transitioning. no you're we have you're not. you know, we have a problem just parents, problem with just being parents, with being ups. with being grown ups. >> i the media as >> i think the social media as well, though, that's the main well, though, that's is the main issue. when it comes to issue. i think when it comes to how were galvanised these how they were galvanised these group this group of children, they saw this and problem is like and i think the problem is like when i was growing up, i couldn't bring item of couldn't even bring an item of clothing father clothing without my father saying, did come saying, what house did that come from? we're driving back to that person's giving it. person's house and giving it. now, so consumed person's house and giving it. now,trying so consumed person's house and giving it. now,trying to so consumed person's house and giving it. now,trying to alsoo consumed person's house and giving it. now,trying to also be)nsumed person's house and giving it. now,trying to also be engrossed with trying to also be engrossed in social media. they're not seeing what's going on in their

children's life much. when children's life as much. when i work families, like, work with families, i'm like, okay, did sit with okay, so did you sit down with your child to understand what what he's wrong? no, what he's doing wrong? and no, they just there's no collaborative working within the household to know what your child is. that's about a good, healthy family and good, healthy parenting. >> that's not about having a father and mother a perfect 2.4. >> you know what i mean? true. >> you know what i mean? true. >> i think that obsess >> i think that we obsess a little bit fathers to little bit about fathers need to be father. be have a father. >> there's so many statistics that children do better that show children do better when fathers and mothers are in a child's life. >> i think that that children do well when they're a happy, well when they're in a happy, healthy household. i've thought a this. yeah. and a lot about this. yeah. and i think an unhappy think that being in an unhappy mother, father household is probably just as bad. >> but the stats still support they need both parents. >> yes. >> yes. >> look, it's obviously a fascinating discussion. so thank you very much for that. was you very much for that. it was an lively chat an incredibly lively chat actually former actually coming up next, former conservative ukip mep conservative and ukip mep douglas gives us his douglas carswell gives us his $0.02 on the latest instalments in the wokery chronicles . and in the wokery chronicles. and we'll see you very, very shortly. don't you

do you make of this? are they really sexualising really aggressively sexualising products at children with products aimed at children with lgb , b—t—q stuff ? lgb, b—t—q stuff? >> well, i'm not sure that america first legal has got quite the right strategy here. i'm not sure getting a government federal agency to fight this for them is really the way forward. >> but i think what this does tell us is that in america now, there's enormous sensitivity to there's enormous sensitivity to the woke corporate agenda that there's been we saw it with disney, we saw it with bud light. >> there's a real resentment on the part of tens of millions , if the part of tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of americans who really don't like seeing woke ideology put on their cereal packets . their cereal packets. >> okay. why does it matter , >> okay. why does it matter, though? why does it matter when i walk around a shop and i'm looking at cereal, which i don't make a habit of doing, the thing that i'm really looking at is the i don't really the price. i don't really necessarily care whether or not it's got a trans person on it or do you just think that it's

needless virtue signalling? is that your main concern ? that your main concern? >> well, i think it should be up to the people who own the brand to the people who own the brand to decide how to market it. i mean, fundamentally, in a free country, if they want to try to sell beer by associating their product with transgenderism or breakfast cereal, by embracing woke ideology, great, good on them. >> but what we're seeing is that the american consumer in really very large numbers is turning against this. look at what happened to bud light. they lost hundreds of millions or tens of millions of dollars worth of revenue. i suspect that they won't be the last to fall foul of this. it's not really a case of this. it's not really a case of trying to prevent companies from marketing things the way they want. what i do think is that companies becoming very that companies are becoming very sensitive to the fact that middle america has just had enough of this. >> yeah, and that's kind of the point. i was hoping to get at you because clearly you there, because clearly initially have thought you there, because clearly initiallmade have thought you there, because clearly initiallmade good have thought you there, because clearly initiallmade good business ught you there, because clearly initiallmade good business sense that it made good business sense to do wokester stuff. and then

increasingly , i think people are increasingly, i think people are pushing back on that. we've had gillette, we've had bud light, we've had all sorts. okay. and i think there's a of think there's a sense of unfairness , especially maybe for unfairness, especially maybe for a lot of natural born women who then see men dressed as women, getting a variety of different jobs or indeed beating them in some sporting events, which is not particularly nice. i think people see through the people also see through the absolute it. douglas absolute fakery of it. douglas and it's on that, that i want to get you which is about get you now, which is about premier footballers premier league footballers saying going to take the saying they're going to take the knee it's something knee next season. it's something that neck of that started in your neck of the woods america, it's woods now in america, and it's going continue to happen here going to continue to happen here for on george floyd for years on from george floyd dying . okay. they don't mean it. dying. okay. they don't mean it. do they? >> it's ridiculous . the average >> it's ridiculous. the average premier league footballer , i premier league footballer, i think earns £3.6 million a year. theidea think earns £3.6 million a year. the idea that we should take these people seriously as symbols of victimhood and discriminate asian people who have been treated unjustly , it's have been treated unjustly, it's absurd. it's ridiculous . if

absurd. it's ridiculous. if you're earning over $100,000, £100,000 a year, the idea that you're somehow a victim is nonsense. look at look at who our footballers are, surely. actually, the story of premier league footballers in this country tells you that we are a meritocracy . that in this meritocracy. that in this country, in britain, you can get ahead by being talented and hardworking. the idea that you should wrap yourselves up in victimhood absurd and victimhood is absurd and ridiculous. and i think most people now see it as that. >> you know, what makes laugh >> you know, what makes me laugh is you go and watch is that when you go and watch football in the pub and people take the knee, there is usually actually of a ripple of actually a bit of a ripple of boos i don't that's boos. and i don't think that's because in the pub are because people in the pub are racist. it's because they see straight they straight through it. they think this is a pointless virtue, signalling that signalling gesture that footballers and footballers don't mean. and we know mean it because know they don't mean it because i am convinced, douglas, that if you footballers enough you gave footballers enough money, they would all go and play money, they would all go and play korea . they don't play in north korea. they don't really . really care. >> i think there's a lot in what you say. >> we see footballers quite willing to accept contracts to go and play in countries with

very dodgy human rights records like saudi arabia. if they were really moral, they would be much more discerning about that. what this is about is embracing a set of virtue signalling propositions that allow them to try to position themselves as in elite icons in an age where there's a they think there's an advantage in doing so. it's not really about helping disadvantage and minority people ininner disadvantage and minority people in inner city britain . in inner city britain. >> one quick one finally with you, douglas , is that you, of you, douglas, is that you, of course, were a tory. then you were ukip and then you decided to move continent . and i'm just to move continent. and i'm just wondering, when you look at what's happening with the channel migrant crisis at the moment, you got out moment, do you think you got out at the right time? >> insane , isn't it? >> it's insane, isn't it? a hundred thousand people have crossed the channel and who's beenin crossed the channel and who's been in charge for 13 years and they talk now as though they're going to act . they're incapable going to act. they're incapable of governing . they're in office, of governing. they're in office, but not in power. of governing. they're in office, but not in power . they're in but not in power. they're in government, but they don't know

here is my take . at ten. welcome here is my take. at ten. welcome to another season of pathetic virtue signalling in the premier league. it has been confirmed that players will take the knee dunng that players will take the knee during some special fixtures. this season in a totally pointless gesture that makes no difference whatsoever . and as difference whatsoever. and as far as i can tell, the vast majority of football fans despise and very often actively boo . they will take the knee for boo. they will take the knee for the first game, the last game, a couple of designated to say no to racism fixtures . and to racism fixtures. and bizarrely, once on boxing day, presumably racism isn't as much of a problem at other times of the year. but the fact is that if you paid a premier league footballer enough money, they would happily go back time would happily go back in time and kick a ball about in south africa during apartheid. if nonh africa during apartheid. if north offered £1 million a north korea offered £1 million a week to premier league players , week to premier league players, they will be getting their agents to get them on the first flight to pyongyang. they don't

actually care. they don't give a toss. actually care. they don't give a toss . it's a complete nonsense. toss. it's a complete nonsense. i mean , a version of this is i mean, a version of this is already happening . jordan already happening. jordan henderson making a virtue of being an lgbtq+ ally and then just going to saudi arabia. pretty sure you can be killed if you're gay in saudi arabia . you're gay in saudi arabia. beaten up. definitely. stadiums may well have been built by slaves . that is, of course, slaves. that is, of course, after we didn't boycott a world cup in another fundamentalist nafion cup in another fundamentalist nation where stadiums actually were built by slaves , plenty of were built by slaves, plenty of whom died on the job, morals in football depend singularly on how much money is on the table. all these players and the clubs who claim to care about taking the knee, putting the rainbow laces on, doing a minute's applause for the nhs or anything else , a moment's silence to else, a moment's silence to remember injustice all around the world. it would all stop tomorrow if there was enough money riding on it. this is why the public boo it. not because they're racist, but because they

can just see straight through it. everyone can see how hollow this gesture is and people just can't stand fakery. there have been numerous opportunities recently for football to actually take a stand, not a knee against racism . and they knee against racism. and they haven't done it. and everyone can see that. so they can jog on when the referee blows. those whistle stays stood up and tried to stick the ball in the back of the net and give the people what they actually flipping. want to . see gb views. gbnews.com. i will get your emails after the break. reacting to my take at ten tonight, our author and journalist. i'm a wolf gb news contributor albie amankona and political and social commentator lynn myers. well, emma , i'll lynn myers. well, emma, i'll start with you. do you think there's any point in footballers taking the knee ? taking the knee? >> i think it has become a pretty empty gesture. and i wonder if you ask them what they were actually taking the knee

about how many them would be about how many of them would be able that. i mean, able to answer that. i mean, look at how few black premier league are. league managers there are. i think there's one. that right ? >> ?- >> to em- h honest with you, i'm >> to be honest with you, i'm not about upcoming not sure about this upcoming season. bit behind season. i've been a bit behind the ball there, but but the eight ball there, but but quite , i believe it's one. >> one. >> so if it's such a diverse and wonderful open why, wonderful and open culture, why, you , why not be more you know, why not be more diverse inclusive ? diverse and inclusive? >> okay. i will throw it over to you now, lynn, i mean, do you do you now, lynn, i mean, do you do you care? do you see it as virtue signalling? do you think it makes a difference? >> can't believe still >> i can't believe we're still talking taking knee. talking about taking a knee. i do think i echo it's absolutely an empty gesture, but i also don't think that we should if you want to get down on your knee, get down on your knee. i don't it's something that don't think it's something that we should still be talking about. be honest, about. and to be honest, like you said, if they were offered enough, you. enough, i agree with you. i think they go to north think they would go to north korea, like we're seeing korea, just like we're seeing more taking up more footballers taking up contracts saudi arabia. and contracts in saudi arabia. and as know , the human rights as you know, the human rights there are absolutely horrific. so what is this ? is it just

so what is this? is it just a show for pr ? show for pr? >> well, quite possibly. and albie , i mean, people boo it, albie, i mean, people boo it, people boo it. and then the sound gets turned down. when you watch match of the day go and now the players take the knee and you'd think at and you'd think they were at glastonbury, we actually glastonbury, hey, we actually turn of turn up, there's a load of people either sitting there in silence or booing. i've got to be honest, patrick, completely be honest, patrick, i completely disagree there. >> when i was watching the euro 2020 final back in 2021. and indeed, that entire competition where i think we got to the final what i heard when people were taking the knee was the crowd roaring with cheers and what these footballers are doing when they are taking the knee is taking a stand against the racism that they receive every time they every time they play in a football match, you look at their accounts littered their twitter accounts littered with bananas. people making racist gestures, gestures to them at football games. this is not empty if not an empty gesture. if you speak football players like speak to football players like raheem jordan raheem sterling, jordan henderson, who you mentioned, they talk about the racism that they talk about the racism that they suffer as football players. and it's saying ,

they suffer as football players. and it's saying, i'm taking and it's them saying, i'm taking a stand, i'm taking a stand against i want the fa to against this. i want the fa to do something about it. and actually the fa are doing something about it. there's a whole what taking a knee, whole what is taking a knee, doing. whole campaign whole what is taking a knee, doing. kick whole campaign whole what is taking a knee, doing. kick out'hole campaign whole what is taking a knee, doing. kick out campaign,aign called kick it out campaign, which got galvanised which was, which got galvanised because taking the knee really became a massive force within sports and now we're seeing a lot of these schemes which are tackling the issue linger. >> go on. i can see you retching. >> no, ijust retching. >> no, i just don't. retching. >> no, ijust don't. i retching. >> no, i just don't. i just don't think taking the knee has actually done anything. >> has anything >> it literally has anything tangible racism. tangible for racism. >> again, kick out, >> i think, again, kick it out, kick out campaign , kick it kick it out campaign, kick it out they've out campaign. they've been working tirelessly. they've been going time . so going for a long time. so i don't think it is just taking the knee. i think it's the people on the ground that we don't working don't see that have been working hard. i think it's hard. and i agree. i think it's horrific. nick, the racism that footballers have to endure all of time . but i footballers have to endure all of time. but i just footballers have to endure all of time . but i just don't of the time. but i just don't see taking the knee as doing anything. >> i think it's emptiness of >> i think it's the emptiness of it, that's that's that's it, right? that's that's that's for mean, don't have a for me. i mean, i don't have a problem people doing it if problem with people doing it if people genuinely believe it, but problem with people doing it if pjuste genuinely believe it, but problem with people doing it if pjuste genldoly believe it, but problem with people doing it if

pjuste genldo not elieve it, but problem with people doing it if pjuste genldo not elievethatyut i just really do not think that our footballers actually care. and is evidence by fact and that is evidence by the fact that and in qatar that we went and played in qatar . of them are going to . a load of them are going to saudi arabia. a load of them have gone to china. previous i mean, absolutely if mean, they absolutely would if you if dangled bag of cash you if you dangled a bag of cash for football, who for premier league football, who by doubly bad. emre by the way, is doubly bad. emre i think they need i think because they don't need the been the money. if someone's been playing . playing. >> but what i object is not >> but what i object to is not the that they're taking the the fact that they're taking the knee for at knee or what it stands for at all. course, that's laudable all. of course, that's laudable . to is that you . what i object to is that you sort you kind of have sort of have to you kind of have to. discussion to. now there's no discussion around we're bullied into around it. we're bullied into this kind of we're bullied into these it was a bit these gestures. it was a bit like , who's bullying anyone? like, who's bullying anyone? >> were going to take the >> you were going to take the knee they're it. knee and they're taking it. >> we were too scared to say, if you to take it, you you don't want to take it, you don't mind anyone taking the knee. were the only one. but >> you were the only one. but this isn't it? if this is the thing, isn't it? if you only one on your you were the only one on your team who didn't, you didn't take the knee, it would. >> was a bit that. >> but it was a bit like that. but bit like if you but it was a bit like if you didn't thursday night, didn't go on a thursday night, if didn't go stand outside if you didn't go stand outside your house with your pots and pans nhs pans and bang away for the nhs heroes , you know, rather than

heroes, you know, rather than saying amazing saying there are some amazing people nhs and then there people in the nhs and then there are amazing people are some not so amazing people in the nhs, there are some wonderful , in the nhs, there are some wonderful, you in the nhs, there are some wonderful , you know, florence wonderful, you know, florence nightingale nurses and then there are some lazy nurses. you literally , literally were kind literally, literally were kind of a social pariah in my neighbourhood. if you didn't have your pots and pans out, you were a social pariah. >> could something to you, >> could i ask something to you, lynn, about gesture lynn, about the gesture itself of the knee? because that of taking the knee? because that comes from really the george floyd stuff i think really doesn't it? and it predates that . it was the colin kaepernick thing. but then it really but then it really shut off didn't it with with the george floyd side of things is the gesture itself. now a little bit tainted because , you know, people have because, you know, people have looked at some elements of the black lives matter movement, read manifesto , disagree read their manifesto, disagree with a bit of with that. there's been a bit of reputational damage george reputational damage to george floyd , for example. do floyd himself, for example. do you maybe they need you think maybe they need another gesture? yeah >> like i said just previously , >> like i said just previously, if you want to take the knee,

take the knee. however, i think it's the easy way out. i know there are multiple footballers, x footballers like rio ferdinand, like sterling, who are actually on the ground behind the scenes doing work. but who's just taking but for many, who's just taking the knee and not doing anything else with their millions, i just think, yeah, i've taken the think, oh yeah, i've taken the knee, n0, think, oh yeah, i've taken the knee, no, like knee, i've done my job. no, like previously stated, there are not enough coaches. there's not enough coaches. there's not enough black managers . let's see enough black managers. let's see them put their money where their mouth is and actively do something instead of just getting down on your knee. anyone can it's easy. anyone can do that. it's easy. >> i'll be i'll just wonder, is that age old debate and discussion, isn't it, between what is a role model? so just because you've public because you've got a public profile, think you because you've got a public p|roley, think you because you've got a public p|role model. think you because you've got a public p|role model. ithink you because you've got a public p|role model. i certainly you a role model. i certainly wouldn't to think wouldn't want anyone to think i'm model. quite i'm a role model. i'm quite obviously but i do obviously not right, but i do have of public profile have some form of public profile just by virtue of being able to kick a ball around. and just by virtue of being able to kicyou a ball around. and just by virtue of being able to kicyou a that around. and just by virtue of being able to kicyou a that people. and just by virtue of being able to kicyou a that people have to do you think that people have to have to look at you for some kind life advice, which kind of life advice, which is essentially is? kind of life advice, which is ess i 1tially is? kind of life advice, which is essi mean, is? kind of life advice, which is essi mean, it's is? kind of life advice, which is essi mean, it's not is? kind of life advice, which is essi mean, it's not always >> i mean, it's not always a choice. is it? if you are a big football star, you are going to

have accept the fact that have to accept the fact that there are to be young boys have to accept the fact that thergirls to be young boys have to accept the fact that thergirls and to be young boys have to accept the fact that thergirls and perhaps/oung boys have to accept the fact that thergirls and perhaps even boys and girls and perhaps even adults that look to you for adults that look up to you for guidance as a role model . and i guidance as a role model. and i think that just comes as part of the i think what we're kind the job. i think what we're kind of missing is we've just of missing here is we've just forgotten good old sense forgotten this good old sense of british live. if british live and let live. if people take the knee, people want to take the knee, let take the knee. if let them take the knee. if people don't want to the people don't want to take the knee, let them not take the knee. it, that's knee. if people hate it, that's all leave all right. but just leave everyone to business. everyone to their own business. and that's not all. get so upset about it someone just gets about it when someone just gets down on a football. down on a knee, on a football. >> i for >> you know what, though? i for me, a series of different >> you know what, though? i for me, thateries of different >> you know what, though? i for me, that seemsf different >> you know what, though? i for me, that seems to ifferent >> you know what, though? i for me, that seems to happen things that seems to happen before right? before football matches, right? before to be right before it just used to be right kick off. i mean kick off a bit of keane and vieira in the tunnel. lucky . a bit tunnel. if we were lucky. a bit of of spicy action before of bit of spicy action before the start of the game. go out, referee his whistle. referee blows his whistle. actual football and then it actual football and then now it seems to be taking the knee. there'll be kind of charity there'll be some kind of charity procession, someone that no there'll be some kind of charity procezever, someone that no there'll be some kind of charity procezever heard one that no there'll be some kind of charity procezever heard on

to have both of those views at the same time? see

radio. >> two big topics to get through here, both of which have really got people talking. shocking footage has emerged on tiktok of a young autistic girl being arrested by a gang of police officers for allegedly implying that one of them may have looked a bit like a lesbian. take a look at you. >> clenching your fist. >> clenching your fist. >> go away from my teenage daughter. >> what is up with you? you're every summat wrong with you? me? she at the police officer. >> homophobic remarks at mum. >> homophobic remarks at my mum. >> homophobic remarks at my mum. >> not a homophobic >> it's not a homophobic remarks, said . i think she's remarks, she said. i think she's a lesbian. like. like nana. if you to bully people , you just. >> you just get one of them badges. there >> that's what you do. yeah. caitlyn where does it go? right over there. she's autistic. she don't like people touching her. she will have a meltdown . she she will have a meltdown. she won't come out. she's got autism needs. lisa, talk to her so she can come out. >> okay, so it's worth noting

that that young girl has since been released without charge. but question, but it does beg the question, with crime that's with all the crime that's actually going on in the country, has happened to country, what has happened to law and order in britain? the other topic i'm going be other topic i'm going to be talking about is this junior doctors. yes. another four day walkout over pay, the fifth strike row began. now, strike since the row began. now, this morning, doctor robert lawrenson the british medical lawrenson of the british medical association said this . now, this association said this. now, this is important. okay. listen to this on the bbc's today programme . programme. >> is it you would not accept the kind of deal that your scottish members are thinking of accepting? >> no, because the governments are very different. so the scottish government , there's a scottish government, there's a bafis scottish government, there's a basis to work forwards and have a relationship and a working relationship to negotiate in the future. the government that we have today are hell bent on using the rigged independent pay review bodies right . review bodies right. >> so it's political, isn't it? it is political . i'm convinced it is political. i'm convinced it's not really about money. to

dissect these two top topics is political youtuber and commentator and friend of the channel. it is mahyar tousi. mayor, great you, mate. mayor, great to see you, mate. thank much for coming thank you very much for coming on. right. first things first. what police out what are the police playing out in well, thank you for having >> well, thank you for having me, patrick. slightly me, patrick. it's slightly bizarre, very bizarre, but also very concerning on a deeper level because when this news out because when this news came out yesterday and i talked about it on my channel, i thought, okay, let's wait for the wider context. but we knew from the video it was quite clear . but video it was quite clear. but now have the context because now we have the context because the responded. the police have responded. they released was released a statement. it was simply autistic simply because an autistic child, , clearly just child, as you said, clearly just pointed out a mother saying pointed out to a mother saying that, that police officer that, oh, that police officer looks like my grandmother who happens lesbian. and now happens to be a lesbian. and now one officer triggered one police officer was triggered and they got like about ten police officers, like back up to go and storm into the house. and basically drag the girl out and arrest the problem have arrest her. the problem i have with story is that firstly, with this story is that firstly, the police just overall policing in this country, which is a concern right now, where were they when there are actual crimes happening, you guys have

been talking about the oxford street stuff well. street stuff today as well. i know the police eventually got there, but you had ten police officers on standby to go and storm into a house and drag a child out for a comment. and that's one thing. second issue i have is that we always talk about the police leadership and the orders they get from above . the orders they get from above. and they some police officers say we're just following orders. so there's a lot of times the issue is actually with the regulations guidelines they have this it was this time. clearly, it was a personal judgement this time. clearly, it was a personaljudgement misjudged personal judgement or misjudged moment by that police officer that got her colleagues to basically also freak so basically also freak out. so that to addressed that also needs to be addressed . the individual police officers, it speaks officers, i think it speaks a lot, as you said there, to if an officer triggered about officer is triggered about something, whether not they something, whether or not they should actually be fit to wear the uniform. >> also just like to say >> i would also just like to say as well, are some serious as well, there are some serious questions be asked why as well, there are some serious q|16;tions be asked why as well, there are some serious q|16 year be asked why as well, there are some serious q|16 year old be asked why as well, there are some serious q|16 year old autistici why as well, there are some serious q|16 year old autistic girl why as well, there are some serious q|16 year old autistic girl was vhy a 16 year old autistic girl was actually in leeds city actually drunk in leeds city centre to begin with. but we can leave that there for now because i talk about the junior i want to talk about the junior doctors . that's it. i wanna talk

doctors. that's it. i wanna talk about junior doctors. now about the junior doctors. now where on this? where are you on this? so they're again. they're out on strike again. they've out, co—chair they've come out, their co—chair and reason we have and said that the reason we have accepted basically deal accepted basically the same deal in because we prefer in scotland is because we prefer the the tories . and so the snp to the tories. and so i would argue there is a there is a case to be made for the fact that junior doctors in this country, in england might be more willing to let people die because they don't the because they don't like the tories. far ? tories. is that too far? >> well , these are the sort of >> well, these are the sort of things that we've been saying for years and years and before they used to, the political left would call us saying that people like a like me, oh, you just being a conspiracy theorist, saying they are political . the trade unions are political. the trade unions are political. the trade unions are not political. these groups are not political. these groups are not political. these groups are not political, but they actually stated themselves now. and we have with and the problem we have with this it divides the this is that it divides the nafion this is that it divides the nation into the sort of debates we had in the 70s that , you we had in the 70s that, you know, and bad guys , know, good guys and bad guys, pro—trade against trade pro—trade union or against trade unions. there shouldn't be a concept against the actual values of trade unionism. but the people who are running it turning into a political organisation. so these are

political organisations because they go to every single protest that has nothing to do with their organisation , with other their organisation, with other political flags. they got the palestinian flag some reason palestinian flag for some reason coming , they got this and coming up, they got this and they and you know they coming up, they got this and thejpolitical. and you know they coming up, they got this and thejpolitical. this you know they coming up, they got this and thejpolitical. this issue now they coming up, they got this and thejpolitical. this issue low they coming up, they got this and thejpolitical. this issue i have ey are political. this issue i have with this, the scotland versus the rest the uk is that the rest of the uk is that firstly, already firstly, doctors are already getting more in england getting paid more in england than scotland . and so that's one than scotland. and so that's one issue. that's you know, if they accepted the offer in scotland and one of the leaders of the trade unions already admitting that it's because we like the government, it makes sense . government, it makes no sense. >> worth it's worth noting >> it's worth it's worth noting this i sometimes this because i sometimes fall foul because i actually foul of this because i actually would pay junior doctors more . would pay junior doctors more. but i do also think that if you are a junior doctor and you go on strike when we've got a record backlog and a waiting list, that you are tantamount to helping to kill people very quickly. well i mean, the problem is that the only solution is to completely reform the nhs. >> and the moment you say that they say, well, you basically want die , you don't want people to die, you don't want people to die, you don't want health care. we're

want proper health care. we're like, actually want like, no, no, we actually want to better. you need to to make it better. you need to get rid of this religion that you created, actually make it a universal system like universal healthcare system like in and northern universal healthcare system like in and and northern universal healthcare system like in and we and northern universal healthcare system like in and we go and northern universal healthcare system like in and we go from orthern universal healthcare system like in and we go from there 'n universal healthcare system like in and we go from there . if europe. and we go from there. if you into, well, you turn everything into, well, this human rights, not this is just human rights, not political. sense. no exactly. >> also complaining about >> and also complaining about a reduction pay that they never reduction in pay that they never actually had because they weren't doctors at the time. but anyway, mayor, very, anyway, mayor, thank you very, very there very much. mayor susie, there was youtuber was political youtuber commentate later and indeed friend right. friend of the channel right. good stuff. okay so i've got loads coming your way. and in fact when come back we will be fact when i come back we will be giving very, very sneaky giving you a very, very sneaky peek of . all of tomorrow's peek of. all of tomorrow's headunes peek of. all of tomorrow's headlines today. stay tuned . headlines today. stay tuned. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello there . welcome to your >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. i'm greg dewhurst and looking at the weekend be summarised by sunshine and scattered showers particularly heavy on saturday

listening to gb news radio . listening to gb news radio. >> it's 1030 listening to gb news radio. >> it's1030 . listening to gb news radio. >> it's 1030 . so time now for listening to gb news radio. >> it's1030 . so time now for a >> it's1030. so time now for a quick look at tomorrow's morning's news papers. hot off the press. i have got for you the daily mail to start with trans row over women's wards, pressure to change nhs guidance that says patients who

temporarily identify as female can share single sex spaces. we will be talking about that, or so you can see at the top of the mail there, boris johnson's latest column. he's treated us to a tale about newts and planning permission, loss planning permission, a fat loss jab now we have his hot take on elon musk fighting mark zuckerberg in a cage fight which may or may not be taking place at the actual colosseum . by the at the actual colosseum. by the way, going whizz you way, i'm also going to whizz you through the daily telegraph. now way, i'm also going to whizz you througgot|e daily telegraph. now way, i'm also going to whizz you througgot|e [the telegraph. now way, i'm also going to whizz you througgot|e [the telegmigrantsw we've got on the front migrants taken barge in legionella taken off barge in legionella scab. we've spoken quite a lot about that already. the home office incompetent as about that already. the home offivessel incompetent as about that already. the home offivessel will incompetent as about that already. the home offivessel will inc uninhabited the vessel will be uninhabited for weeks. i think that's the new line there, which is the length of time they expect this boat to be able to carry boat to not be able to carry migrants on. they're also talking about detached home owners, mortgage bills passing 2000 thousand pounds a month and some about oil boilers, which i'm sorry, i cannot pretend to care about the daily express. we're going in with the express now. doctors are striking two quotes bring down the tories.

we've just spoken a little bit about that. a doctor's union has been accused of trying to bring down the government by masterminding of strikes. masterminding a wave of strikes. it's a story as old as it's almost a story as old as time itself, isn't it? really unions down unions trying to bring down a government. they've government. but i think they've actually about actually been quite honest about it. now we're going over to the guardian. have guardian. now we have to we have to barge evacuated as to asylum barge evacuated as deadly bacteria found. yeah, fair i can understand fair enough. i can understand completely why they're leading on speak to a doctor on that. i did speak to a doctor earlier who inform that earlier who did inform me that actually it is actually quite hard legionnaires, but hard to catch legionnaires, but still point. still not really the point. they've how have they've also got how to have great sex at every age . so no great sex at every age. so no doubt we will be discussing that . a few tips out there. i said tips now, deadly bug on barge again , the mirror going in big again, the mirror going in big more migrant chaos. asylum seekers evacuated over legionnaires fears. yeah, we know that . and i wonder what know that. and i wonder what hard hitting story the daily star will be coming to play with. that's right . rise of the with. that's right. rise of the sarnie psychos , deviants take sarnie psychos, deviants take liberties with lunchtime feelings. now this is a story

about how 45% of as they call it now rhiannon jones admit to tucking into cold baked bean sandwiches and other combinations right. sandwiches and other combinations right . okay. combinations right. okay. clearly, that is i mean, obviously front page news, isn't it? let's turn now to my brilliant pundits . we are going brilliant pundits. we are going to go in with emma, i think. let's start with the trans row over women's wards. so this is actually about eight shocking rules where i'm just going to explain this. if i said i was a woman today but gave you a heads up that i wouldn't be a woman tomorrow, i still could go on your ward. so do you think it's time that stopped? yeah, i do. >> it's very unfashionable, but i think that we should keep single sex wards. and the nhs has been failing and failing and failing on this. i don't know what the statistics are because i've forgotten them, but there are targets on on sex are targets on on single sex wards women with

wards and keeping women with women and men with men . the women and men with men. the trans thing is a whole other level of complication. but when you go and visit elderly men for example, my father was in hospital while before he hospital for a while before he died with, you know, you have these men wandering around these old men wandering around their open, going their gowns flapping open, going to laboratory in middle to the laboratory in the middle of over the shop. of the night, all over the shop. everybody, have of the night, all over the shop. ever have 1, have of the night, all over the shop. everhave your have of the night, all over the shop. everhave your ivs have of the night, all over the shop. everhave your ivs hanging1ave of the night, all over the shop. everhave your ivs hanging out. you have your ivs hanging out. there's not much dignity on a hospital ward . i think that hospital ward. i think that elderly people, especially , but elderly people, especially, but i people should have i think all people should have the dignity of being on a women's ward or a men's ward. your views, alan? >> i agree. i'm actually disgusted by this, to be honest. and i actually think it's insulting who insulting to people who genuinely transition . if genuinely want to transition. if you want to be a trans man or a trans woman, you're not going to decide. i fancy being a man on a monday and a woman on a wednesday. so i just think this is complete mockery . wednesday. so i just think this is complete mockery. i think is a complete mockery. i think the nhs is buying into a tiny, tiny percentage of people who would want to do that, and they're putting, you they're basically putting, you know, middle finger up to the rest us. i'll be so this has

rest of us. i'll be so this has been unearthed . been unearthed. >> i'll just go into a bit more detail story just detail on this story as just landed front us nhs landed in front of us nhs guidance uncovered a major guidance uncovered in a major audh guidance uncovered in a major audit the daily mail means audit by the daily mail means that transgender women can use facilities they wish regardless of whether or not they have had surgery or legally changed sex. so this is proper feelings territory now? yes, this is this is just feelings , right? how do is just feelings, right? how do you think this should have been banned from the start ? banned from the start? >> it seems like strange guidance to me, but but i just wonder how often it's actually ever been used and whether or not this is just guidance which has been conjured up, but actually how many situations are there where this has actually happened? but even there's happened? but even if there's one, think i think that's a one, i think i think that's a mockery women as well, mockery to women as well, because it's about people who are part time identifying . are part time identifying. >> i would question. >> i would question. >> i would question. >> i would question i get what you're on that. it you're saying on that. and it will be i imagine, relatively difficult to get all of those facts. i would the facts. but i would question the type who would act type of person who would act on that, so somebody was

that, right? so if somebody was a full time transgender a was a full time transgender individual , a was a full time transgender individual, well, can see individual, well, then i can see an element of logic behind that. right. if that's who that's how you live your life. if you pick and choose, depending on what day is, and then day of the week it is, and then you decide that you you actively decide that you want go into hospital and go want to go into hospital and go on a woman's ward. for me, that would ring alarm bells. no, i mean, completely agree. mean, i completely agree. >> there's something in >> i think there's something in what has said a lot what lynn has said in that a lot of this oh, i've girl of this oh, i'm i've got girl girl mode as eddie girl mode and boy mode as eddie or susan izzard. yeah >> susie izzard, rather seems to be but i find that an be an mp, but i find that an inqu be an mp, but i find that an insult both to men, people insult both to men, to people who are making a serious decision about their lives, people who aren't genuinely trans and they go through surgery and therapy in order to live the life that they want. >> okay? not just change their mind every five minutes. >> whiz it on over to the >> just whiz it on over to the daily now and i'm daily telegraph now and i'm going with their lead, going to lead with their lead, which is migrants taken off barge the barge in legionella scare the line seeing here which line that i'm seeing here which stood to me was was it was stood out to me was was it was going to uninhabitable for going to be uninhabitable for weeks. i'll just read weeks. they say i'll just read you a couple of the top of

you a couple of the top lines of this office this story. so the home office has branded incompetent. this story. so the home office has over branded incompetent. this story. so the home office has over branded irstockholm. yes. over the bibby stockholm barge fiasco , not least by me on barge fiasco, not least by me on this show well. it's this show as well. but it's emerged the vessel will now emerged that the vessel will now be out of action for weeks following the supply . so the following the supply. so the discovery of bacteria in the water supply and all 39 asylum seekers living were evacuated and taken back to hotels. so that's where we are seeing here. mps in the conservative party are raising questions about the people in charge of this and angle that we've not touched on so far, emma, is whether or not anyone who had any hand in supplying this barge at a political level should just be sacked now because of the total incompetence . incompetence. >> well, i just have so many questions . you say you spoke to questions. you say you spoke to a doctor earlier who says actually legionnaires, legionnaires is that legionnaires disease is not that transmissible. i'm wondering, are tested? are are people tested? do they are they communicable they bringing any communicable diseases wherever diseases over from wherever they've from ? are we they've arrived from? are we testing the water supply? i mean , i these are all , i know these are all irrelevant, mean , are we irrelevant, but i mean, are we testing? no. are we testing the water in of

water supplies in all of their hostels where they're hostels and hotels where they're being up alternative being put up in alternative accommodation? know. >> okay. let's let's let's explore is this actually explore that. is this actually a good spinning it a bit? is this actually a good news story for the government? we've tested things straight away. we've acted straight away. i can acted on it straight away. i can imagine load other imagine a load of other situations. good situations. you make a good point, single point, which is every single houday point, which is every single holiday the water tested holiday inn of the water tested for legionnaires every day of the week. >> but my question following >> no, but my question following on there's loads >> no, but my question following on questions there's loads >> no, but my question following on questions why there's loads >> no, but my question following on questions why theye's loads >> no, but my question following on questions why they have|ds of questions is why they have floated this, this idea or this way of dealing with things by going on the barge. why are they only testing it literally few days before people are going to be on the boat? >> well, that's the incompetence, isn't it? and that is i think now, more so than is why i think now, more so than ever , we have to look at who the ever, we have to look at who the idiots really are here and whether or not they should be. or is it a coincidence? ace, go on. explain. expand on that. go on. >> on. >> yeah . okay. they should have >> yeah. okay. they should have tested it before, but it just seems really, really convenient. >> a lot of people are saying this online. >> not to sound like a

conspiracy theorist, but do know i >> -- >> i'm just lam em km >> i'm just i'm just, you know , >> i'm just i'm just, you know, a lot of people a lot of people are saying i i don't look are saying i don't i don't look in politics. >> i think it's normally up. yeah. yeah conspiracy that's all. i don't think there's been conservative mps pumping legionella into the or lefty plumbers. >> some of us are thinking it. let's be honest, looking at the way people are thinking it, looking the way this looking at the way this government handled things government has handled things over last couple years, over the last couple of years, utter incompetence, enough i >> -- >> yeah. to come up with a plan. not them like maybe the other. >> pay millions for >> maybe to pay millions for this and render this huge barge and then render it completely and then screw it up. >> ”l: up. > up. >> up. not conspiracy and no , to >> up. not conspiracy and no, to answer your question, it's not a good story. it's a terrible good news story. it's a terrible news story. was stop the news story. this was stop the boats not a single boat boats week. not a single boat has been stopped. >> well, votes come in, by >> well, votes have come in, by the way. >> boats have come in the highest. >> that is is that is the >> that is that is that is the thing it. we've done a lot on thing of it. we've done a lot on the barge and everything will probably be returning to that a little to next? little bit. where to go next? i'm to go to the express. i'm going to go to the express. doctors are striking quote, doctors are striking to, quote, bnng doctors are striking to, quote, bring down the tories. i'll read

you again of the you again a couple of the headunes you again a couple of the headlines here front of me. headlines here in front of me. a doctors union has been accused of down the of trying to bring down the government damaging government the hugely damaging walkouts junior doctors have government the hugely damaging walkthe; junior doctors have government the hugely damaging walkthe nhsunior doctors have government the hugely damaging walkthe nhs aroundyctors have government the hugely damaging walkthe nhs around £1)rs have government the hugely damaging walkthe nhs around £1 billion; cost the nhs around £1 billion this year . cost the nhs around £1 billion this year. ministers urged the british medical association to halt its latest strike, the fifth so far amid growing acrimony over the long standing pay acrimony over the long standing pay dispute . acrimony over the long standing pay dispute. emma acrimony over the long standing pay dispute . emma we've got pay dispute. emma we've got people now , now being diagnosed people now, now being diagnosed with cancer. unfortunately potentially survivable. definitely at least treatable who are now dying as a result of this this backlog. okay. and go on being attacked by the gb news fly. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> yes, it's everywhere. >> yes, it's everywhere. >> and it's not just those really, really serious cases. people whose chemo is being put back, whose, you know, back, people whose, you know, it's old people living pain it's old people living in pain with a hip replacement that's been put off again and again. and again. it's actually people's lives . why do doctors people's lives. why do doctors want to help people or not? no one's being paid enough at the

moment. everybody's suffering. i just think what are doctors and nurses doing? >> very angry about this >> i get very angry about this and sometimes i express myself poorly because i. i do think that doctors who go on strike are are in a roundabout way or directly actually leading to people dying. and i think that is morally unconscionable. get a different job if you don't want people's to be in your people's lives to be in your hand. we should hand. i do also think we should pay a hand. i do also think we should pay a bit more and i do pay them a bit more and i do think it's possible to both pay them a bit more and i do thithose; possible to both pay them a bit more and i do thithose views ble to both pay them a bit more and i do thithose views ate to both pay them a bit more and i do thithose views at the both pay them a bit more and i do thithose views at the sameyoth pay them a bit more and i do thithose views at the same time. of those views at the same time. should there be banned from striking? >> don't think banned, but >> i don't think banned, but i just find it quite strange that we're not actually looking at the nhs on a whole as opposed to just always attacking the government. think need to government. i think we need to get auditors in the nhs , get the auditors in the nhs, find out where a lot of the wastage of money is wastage in terms of money is going. and think also the going. and i think also the doctors need to take a different approach and start looking within know, they waste within and you know, they waste bills every year. nhs . bills every year. the nhs. somehow the government need to keep on finding money. our tax payers money obe i think what's interesting is lot of these interesting is a lot of these doctors moving over to
