5:04 am
of doctors say they for of the doctors say they look for wombs that already been wombs that have already been used have a child that used to have a child that increases. so tested. yes increases. so pretty tested. yes yes. tested. yeah. so that's good. >> and we covered a story recently about the possibility scientists were talking about the possibility of transplanting wombs into transgender women so that they could one day have have babies or if they're ultra liberal, have abortions. and some people were upset about this. and some women were saying they were going to remove themselves from the donor register because they didn't they didn't want their womb. yeah. >> but it was only speculation, wasn't it? >> because actually, think >> because actually, i think what were saying look, what they were saying was, look, now it's possible in women. >> maybe one day we could do it in transgender women, but it's still a long way off. and people were talking about like were talking about things like the having the right the body not having the right hormone being hormone and there being all these problems. where would the baby i guess it would baby come out? i guess it would be yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. all >> yeah. all from >> yeah. all from no, >> yeah. all from no, that's >> yeah. all from no, that's a very painful carry on very painful place to carry on some unpleasant cartoons on some very unpleasant cartoons on the internet. >> it's in its infancy. >> yeah. so it's in its infancy. but this is amazing for this
5:05 am
family, it? gift. family, isn't it? what a gift. my family, isn't it? what a gift. my brother even let me my brother won't even let me borrow his van. you know, it's just. it's amazing. does it be used couple of times. used a couple of times. >> been proven to work? >> has it been proven to work? >> has it been proven to work? >> to think what's been >> i dread to think what's been in van. okay rhiannon. >> what does the guardian have on front cover? on the front cover? >> guardian has >> chris, the guardian has hospital accused of fobbing off. parents murder parents of let be murder victims. so some the parents victims. so some of the parents who one of their sons, who lost one of their sons, their sons another was their baby sons and another was poisoned have come out and said that they repeated only that they tried, repeated only to harvey, who is to contact ian harvey, who is part of the senior management at the hospital . the hospital. >> and course, this seems >> and of course, this seems absolutely in absolutely outrageous in hindsight in his defence, one of the things he said is that he had to go through the police finally liaison officers at the time, made clear time, but it wasn't made clear to parents because this was to the parents because this was already the police were involved once started, he couldn't once that started, he couldn't just speak freely. >> that's no excuse for not >> but that's no excuse for not making that clear to those parents. i mean, would have parents. i mean, they would have been just horrific. been in. that's just horrific. >> i mean, the that comes >> i mean, the more that comes out about this, about failures or assumed failures in the
5:06 am
executives and in the management of the hospital, it just seems absolutely appalling that it wasn't stopped sooner. there were so many chances to stop her and whistleblowers came forward . and the whistleblowers, it was like the grooming gang scandal, the whistleblowers that came forward . instead of being forward. instead of being listened to, were forced to listened to, they were forced to write letters. and, you write apology letters. and, you know, like in rotherham know, it's like in rotherham where whistleblowers where the whistleblowers were were diversity training were sent on diversity training and keep their mouths and told to keep their mouths shut just that. shut and it wasn't just that. i mean, you think with these whistleblowers, if it had just been, you know, almost regular staff, would be easier to staff, it would be easier to ignore. >> these were literally these were the head of paediatrics at the hospital. these were senior paediatrician was coming to the head of the hospital and going, look, we have a very real problem with this nurse. >> and were forced to apologise. >> and insanity is completely insane. and the one of the of course there are many tragic aspects to this story, but i think one of the real tragic aspects to this is i don't think we've actually scratched the surface with this story. i think
5:07 am
that deep investigation is going to need to happen . and i think to need to happen. and i think we're uncover more we're going to uncover more children that were killed or murdered as a result. >> no ? yes, they're going to >> no? yes, they're going to look into the deaths of 4000 more there's for more babies. there's calls for an independent which an independent inquiry, which means able means these people won't be able to will be able to keep to nobody will be able to keep quiet. you're called, you're quiet. if you're called, you're called. yeah, it's going to take harold shipman. >> you know, we don't we don't know the full extent of his murders either. and is it the case that you know, in a large pubuc case that you know, in a large public sector organised nation that's really a monolith with no competitors? isn't the competitors? there isn't the accountability you'd get in accountability that you'd get in accountability that you'd get in a in a smaller , more agile organisation? >> absolutely . yeah, i think >> absolutely. yeah, i think that's true. i've got a friend who unfortunately him and his wife had a miscarriage and then they subsequently a letter they subsequently got a letter calling them in for a scan for a baby that had already passed and they complained and they complained about it and then another letter for then they got another letter for then they got another letter for the think, the same. and you just think, you know. what do they do you know. and what do they do about that? nothing. that's. yeah i mean, yeah. >> without without that >> without that, without that drive, throughout drive, that incentive throughout the to improve
5:08 am
the organisation to, to improve and mistakes, know, and rectify mistakes, you know, things go unchecked things are going to go unchecked and, and, and things like this can on. this is not about can carry on. this is not about funding. >> em- funding. >> not a funding >> that's that's not a funding issue. to with issue. that's, that's to do with admin it. yeah. processes admin isn't it. yeah. processes and catching mistakes you know. but also as you know but it's also as well you know there a lot of disbelief if there was a lot of disbelief if as in people didn't want to believe what was actually happening in this story, they didn't want to believe that one of their nurses was this . of their nurses was doing this. >> they called her >> they called they called her nice lucy. they didn't want to believe that children in infants were being murdered on their watch. but the data was right in front of them. of course. of course. they should have known. anyway, moving on to the express, what they express, frances, what have they got cover? so, yes, this got in the cover? so, yes, this is landmark proves is a landmark deal proves brexit. doom are brexit. voices of doom are wrong. and is the deal that wrong. and this is the deal that kemi badenoch has struck with india, because one of the things that were promised after that we were promised after brexit is that we were going to have more global we have a more global outlook. we took decade . yes, but took us half a decade. yes, but we're here and we're doing it. is even half a decade ? it's is it even half a decade? it's more than that. it's more yeah,
5:09 am
it's seven years. oh, my god. seven plays when you're seven years plays when you're not really having much fun. yeah. basically tearing yeah. and basically tearing families but . yeah. and basically tearing families but. but kemi families apart, but. but kemi badenoch has struck this deal, which means that , though. which which means that, though. which means that we are going to be in partnership with india, which is quite exciting, but possibly the most exciting part of this deal is that they are building a factory for car batteries in the uk . yeah. and it's going to uk. yeah. and it's going to create a lot of jobs. yeah, 4000 jobs. i believe they're investing 4 billion in the uk. i mean, this is this is great to see. india is a huge market with with a huge and burgeoning middle class population who i'm sure would love to buy all the stuff that we make. >> i'm thrilled hear it. >> i'm thrilled to hear it. that's absolutely fantastic. and people to keep that's absolutely fantastic. and people if to keep that's absolutely fantastic. and people if you to keep that's absolutely fantastic. and people if you voted to keep that's absolutely fantastic. and people if you voted for» keep that's absolutely fantastic. and people if you voted for brexit, saying, if you voted for brexit, you're just a racist anymore. they'll probably all get put to bed now nobody will say that bed now and nobody will say that anymore. thing anymore. well, this is the thing about everybody about brexit, because everybody is sitting on brexit. >> brexit racist and really >> brexit is racist and really brexit about restricting brexit was about restricting the immigration from europe,
5:10 am
immigration coming from europe, which and which is mainly white, and opening immigration opening up our immigration market world, which is , market to the world, which is, you generally not white. you know, generally not white. so anything, anti so if anything, brexit was anti racist and all the people who voted remain are massive racists anyway, moving on to the daily star crest, what have they got in the front cover? we've got shoe warm and wet. >> weather sends hordes of pesky bugs swarming our way. this is great news, especially for somebody that lives near waterways. mosquito bites, anyone. i mean, that's all full. do you suffer terribly? yes do. >> i do. i hate them . do.— >> i do. i hate them . i do. >> i do. i hate them . i hate >> i do. i hate them. i hate them with a passion. they're vicious. i can't even use a word that i want to describe them. disgust thing, little creatures. and it's only the women and the men. they're fine. you know this. >> i've heard this. yes, this . >> i've heard this. yes, this. >> i've heard this. yes, this. >> yeah. the man. mosquitoes not bite people. no, they don't. they just eat fruit, mate, and they just chill out. we're just proves trust them . proves you can't trust them. that femininity. it is that is toxic femininity. it is bloodsuckers, toxic . bloodsuckers, toxic. >> that's blood. i don't know if it's true. it's just one of those things people say in pubs.
5:11 am
it's true. okay. >> it's a true. it's just like marriage. but we're seeing a 200 billion daddy longlegs. i mean, they've got be male. yeah they've got to be male. yeah the daddy legs , they are very daddy long legs, they are very progressive of you. is it? it is. that's their name. they're called daddy long legs . okay, called daddy long legs. okay, well, you asked them about well, have you asked them about it? no, i haven't. but there's going to be 200 billion of them breeding. apparently don't breeding. apparently i don't know to watch and know if we get to watch and there's they coming over in there's an they coming over in boats invasion flies. this boats invasion flies. yeah. this . well the i mean apparently the bubonic plague was spread by gerbils. yeah that came that did come in boats . come in boats. >> no mammals, no rats, no, no spread by gerbils apparently . spread by gerbils apparently. >> wow. i just knocked my own glasses off at the thought . but glasses off at the thought. but what? maybe you should get contact. >> yeah, probably should. >> yeah, probably should. >> but what do you mean? gerbils i swear to god. anyway, we'll research it in the break and i'll prove it. but that's it for part one. coming up in part two, we've got an african afghan migrant who videoed his journey. musk threatening ukraine and
5:12 am
insanely high scottish drug deaths. hopefully i'll still be alive after the break. see you in a
5:13 am
5:14 am
5:15 am
radio. >> welcome back to headliners. and before we kick off, i'd just like to say thank you to big poppa, who sent me a personalised mug in compliments, compliments of big poppa at the bottom there, slightly disturbed in name. it's a bit like that scene in pulp fiction. but anyway, we've got the guardian now in scots have found a jab that's more dangerous than pfizer . francis well, this that's more dangerous than pfizer. francis well, this this is a very interesting story. it's good news because the scots are recording the largest fall in drug deaths. but there's still 2.7 times above the uk average . and there's still an average. and there's still an insane number of scots dying from drugs well over 1000 in 2022. yeah, over 1020. 22, literally three scottish people
5:16 am
are dying every day as a result of drugs and drug overdoses . and of drugs and drug overdoses. and the snp, in their infinite wisdom , has cut the cut funding wisdom, has cut the cut funding for to help people with drugs. and it's just it's heartbreaking when you just see what is going on in scotland. and a lot of this happened on the watch of the snp . it has skyrocketed the snp. it has skyrocketed since records began, which was in 1996. yeah. so the snp took power not a huge amount of time after that. yeah. and yet it's just shot up since then. literally shot up no pun intended but yeah. i mean other snp policies increase the likelihood that people are going to take drugs. so they've got the minimum unit alcohol pricing, which makes alcohol more people can't more expensive so people can't actually get blotto on actually afford to get blotto on buckfast or traditional means of getting drunk. so they turn to barbiturates or heroin or obe . barbiturates or heroin or obe. >> this was partly because because they can't get good old fashioned heroin . yeah. and
5:17 am
fashioned heroin. yeah. and there's now all this new synthetic opioid stuff coming in because the taliban are stopping heroin production . yeah. heroin production. yeah. >> nicola sturgeon missed >> and nicola sturgeon missed the chance cut a deal with the chance to cut a deal with the chance to cut a deal with the new afghan government when they came in. but they when they came in. but yeah, there's also the hopeless ness there's a real ness in scotland. there's a real sort poverty of not. not just sort of poverty of not. not just material poverty, but a poverty of aspiration and of hope amongst people because the snp have really sort of stifle pulled scotland's, you know , pulled scotland's, you know, just, just the feeling of culture, the society and the economy as well. it's become very sort of a state oriented economy. well, the problem is, is that this is a symptom of what is going on in scottish society and nobody goes or gets addicted to heroin because things are going well in their life. do you know what i mean? no one ever goes, you know what, i'm absolutely smashing it. let's pick up the needle women a bit. motley crue, molly crew making millions of pounds , making millions of pounds, having great time in having a great time in california. and they all got addicted to heroin. yeah. >> anomalous. says that
5:18 am
>> anomalous. it says here that most this death rates are 16 most of this death rates are 16 times higher deprived areas. yeah. >> so i doubt any people in stirling are having a similar lines to motley crew. leo but it speaks to the fact that there's an epidemic of hopelessness at the moment in scotland. yeah. and particularly during the pandemic, it was so badly handled. yeah badly handled. it was so egregious. what they did to people's rights up there , to people's rights up there, what they did to the economy . what they did to the economy. they crippled the economy. i'm not surprised that people are desperate. yeah, well , hopefully desperate. yeah, well, hopefully somebody can inject some hope in scotland anyway. the guardian now in children's prisons are doing away with the maximum . doing away with the maximum. spare the rod and spoil the child . cressida pain inducing child. cressida pain inducing restraint to be banned in england and wales children's prisons . prisons. >> as i'm amazed that had to be said. i had no idea. so new ministry of justice policy says such techniques, such techniques , must only be used in emergency
5:19 am
scenarios, which sort of implies there's been some recreational pain using as if that's like one of the perks of the job. but they're tightening up on it. so there was a review 20 years ago because as a young man got his name here, adam rickwood , he he name here, adam rickwood, he he hanged himself six after six hours after he'd had a nose distraction. there's this specific noise, distraction. >> he's a very euphemistic term. >> he's a very euphemistic term. >> he's a karate chop to the nose. now, i don't know what he was doing, but it just for a child. he was 14, 13, six hours later, he hanged himself and he left a suicide note saying, what gave you the right to hurt children? and 20 years later, this is being we're now this is being looked we're now policy is changing . policy is changing. >> so it's not just the physical pain. it's the powerlessness and the humiliation that these children. >> well, this is it. so the point of this is that we don't want this happening as an intimidating. we don't want it as part of the culture. it's going to be just in specific scenarios. when somebody really in danger, maybe there's a danger life, something like that. >> yeah, because francis yeah,
5:20 am
some techniques, i some of these techniques, i mean, the terms they use mean, the, the terms they use mandibular technique, mandibular angle technique, it doesn't that bad, but then doesn't sound that bad, but then you find it's there using you find out it's there using pain ear . yes, pain in somebody's ear. yes, there's the thumb flexion twisting somebody's thumb, the wrist flexion , these goose locks wrist flexion, these goose locks that they get people in that are incredibly painful . they are incredibly painful. they are incredibly painful. they are incredibly painful. they are incredibly painful. look , incredibly painful. now, look, there's the other side of this argument that they're working argument is that they're working with with children who have some of whom are very violent and they're very, very abused of. and always difficult when and it's always difficult when you're breaking up a fight between 214 or 15 year olds who some of whom can be quite large and can be the same size as men. no need to body shame and trying to break that up. but i do agree with you. wherever possible, it should . restraint should be should. restraint should be used. it does not inflict harm on the person that you're restraining. yeah absolutely. common sense. anyway, the male? no.and common sense. anyway, the male? no. and a cross—channel migrant has filmed his journey across europe and it looks more like a gap year adventure than a
5:21 am
desperate refugee . francis yes. desperate refugee. francis yes. so he's put it on tiktok is delivered brilliant views. and it's something that we're all jealous of here because i don't think we've had that level of views, mate, over reality at all. so the asylum seeker is thought to be an afghan national, and what he's done is a sort of day in the life of a refugee. yeah. and here we go. the footage. this is him in his hotel in london. right. that's lovely. look him just chilling out there. fantastic >> make a wish. i mean , it's >> make a wish. i mean, it's like a sort of thomas cook advert . it does. advert. it does. >> look at him and he's there. i mean, i wish when i was homeless, i could have stayed in mean, i wish when i was h
5:22 am
left afghanistan to make his way across europe. so obviously , you across europe. so obviously, you know, find a better life . know, find a better life. >> up until now, i've always i've looked at the videos of them sinking and i felt enormously compassionate. and even when you see young men kind of being bravado, i've always thought, well, must be thought, well, they must be terrified and, you know, thought, well, they must be terrifdon't and, you know, thought, well, they must be terrifdon't knowand, you know, thought, well, they must be terrifdon't knowand, ythey're n, they don't know what they're going have to going through. and i have to say, video, he looks say, this video, he looks pretty comfortable. say, this video, he looks pretty con he table. >> he does. >> he does. >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> he does. and also as well, you've got to admire him. he's an entrepreneur. yeah no, i've got respect. there remains got full respect. there remains me know, like guy the me of, you know, like guy the opening sequences of scarface when he's thrown out of cuba . when he's thrown out of cuba. yeah. and, you know, he comes to miami to make his to make his life. you know yeah, life. yeah you know and yeah, i mean, fair enough . i don't, you mean, fair enough. i don't, you know, i might not agree with everything , you know, everything that, you know, cross—channel migrants do or anything, i respect the anything, but i respect the i respect the entrepreneurial zeal of somebody, you know, going in that adventure and crossing crossing the channel. but it's ridiculous that people refer to them you know, the most them as, you know, the most desperate and needy people in society, you can
5:23 am
society, because if you can afford pay grand to afford to pay five grand to a people smuggler, you're by definition neediest and definition not the neediest and most yeah. and it's most desperate. yeah. and it's also well, the french. also as well, the french. i mean, they've obviously been useless because french people are useless and they've been absolutely useless in stopping this train and stopping people coming over . this train and stopping people coming over. and the worst part about it is they've been even more useless this year than they were last year. even though we're paying half £1 billion and that's pounds not francs or euros pounds. exactly exactly. we're paying half a billion. and why would you pay why would you give money to a frenchman to do a job? you know, they're going to be on strike all the time. you know, they're not going to do any work. you know, they've not gone. i would just like to apologise ofcom the apologise to ofcom for the egregious francophobic racism there. anyway, the mirror now with some good news. if you're smart and work hard , you can smart and work hard, you can beat the cost of living crisis. >> cresta fatcat bosses scoop extra £500,000 per year as workers suffer under crushing
5:24 am
inflation. yeah. so the people at the top are getting further and further up, which is kind of what you'd expect, isn't it? that's how life works. they're not french. >> well , one not french. >> well, one of them is a not french. >> well , one of them is a little >> well, one of them is a little bit french. >> this is the person at the absolute top of the tree. pascal soriot, who's the ceo of astrazeneca , aka the grant astrazeneca, aka the grant shapps. >> yeah, exactly . >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> so that's that's how, you know , that's great, isn't it? know, that's great, isn't it? the person making the most money is the person who's been making safe and effective treatment and paid for with their taxpayers money. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> and at first, yeah, exactly. and i thought, well, maybe, maybe the people at the top are paying maybe the people at the top are paying massive amounts of tax. and i looked him up. he's this year decided to make his latest factory in ireland because the uk we're not offering tax breaks that he likes so the stuff will be sold in the uk and we'll pay for it. >> our taxes will pay for it. but the tax on the stuff that's
5:25 am
sold will be paid in ireland. well, that's, that's lovely . and well, that's, that's lovely. and i made my point before with the previous story and i got silenced. that's what i'm saying. that's what i'm saying . saying. that's what i'm saying. friends. i mean, we always see. we always see people in the mirror, you know, we know that it's a left wing newspaper. they're always about fat they're always moaning about fat cats your business elites. cats and your business elites. but if it's so easy, why don't left wing people do it and become the leaders of astrazeneca? surely, you know , astrazeneca? surely, you know, these people deserve the rewards. they're doing a incredibly leading incredibly difficult job leading these global companies. incredibly difficult job leading these global companies . well, these global companies. well, look, here's the thing . it is look, here's the thing. it is actually incredibly difficult to be a ceo. the vast majority of people who have that type of aspiration never get there. you are responsible for a huge company. if something goes wrong, it is entirely on your watch . so you could argue that watch. so you could argue that they deserve that money because very few people can do that job at that particular level . very few people can do that job at that particular level. i'm just saying maybe it shouldn't be pascal. that's that's all i'm
5:26 am
saying. that's all i'm saying . saying. that's all i'm saying. anyway, talking of fat cat bosses, ukraine is at the mercy of an erratic billionaire. and it's not putin, it's elon musk. this is in the independent francis yes, it is. so elon musk has engaged in direct conversation with vladimir putin, to according a pentagon official. so he, the billionaire, told colin cole , billionaire, told colin cole, the undersecretary of defence for policy at the pentagon, that he had spoken to putin personally . and this left them personally. and this left them a little bit shocked because, you know, it's very worrying because obviously we are at war with russia. the americans are at war with russia . and ukraine is with russia. and ukraine is depends on elon musk's starlink internet system based on satellites to guide its munitions and to guide reconnaissance in the battlefield. yeah, exactly. so they're very, very worried because what they don't want is musk having some type of
5:27 am
pro—russian sympathies . well, pro—russian sympathies. well, because he did turn off i believe he turned off the access to starlink over russian territory briefly before he was urged to turn it back on. i mean, in his defence that he was funding it entirely himself. i know, i know he's got some money, but it's about money. >> it looks like nobody was paying >> it looks like nobody was paying and so eventually paying for it. and so eventually he be fair to musk, he said, he to be fair to musk, he said, oh, to hell with it. even oh, okay, to hell with it. even though starlink losing money though starlink is losing money and companies getting though starlink is losing money and of :ompanies getting though starlink is losing money and of taxpayers getting though starlink is losing money and of taxpayer dollars, :ting billions of taxpayer dollars, we'll funding ukraine we'll keep funding ukraine government for free. so it's partly about funding. >> touted a pro—russia >> he's also touted a pro—russia peace plan, which would involve russia keeping some of the territory it seized, which, you know , is pretty unfair on on know, is pretty unfair on on ukraine. i don't you know, america , america or, you know, america, america or, you know, any other country would say, oh, no, you can keep, you know, in britain be like, oh, no, britain we'd be like, oh, no, you can cornwall. that you can keep cornwall. that wouldn't would anyone wouldn't i mean, would anyone miss him? well, maybe cornwall was bad example. yeah, yeah, was a bad example. yeah, yeah, yeah. lived in yeah. don, i've lived in cornwall. cornwall's yeah. don, i've lived in cornithe. cornwall's yeah. don, i've lived in cornithe. part cornwall's yeah. don, i've lived in cornithe. part of»rnwall's yeah. don, i've lived in cornithe. part of the all's yeah. don, i've lived in cornithe. part of the uk. like, the nicest part of the uk. no it's. it's nice no it's not. it's. it's nice when it's sunny, which is about

5:33 am
listening to gb news radio. >> welcome back to headliners kicking things off with the meal and a pre—school is indoctrinating toddlers into the world of fetish sex. francis, what's this all about? well this is what we call in the business a dream daily male story. leo these is a moment when the editors at the daily mail's rubbed their hands and went, boys, we have a belter . but it boys, we have a belter. but it sounds like it's not just them rubbing their hands. i mean, this is a horrific i find this horrific. you know, this level of sexualised basically propaganda in a well, i think school i think you're a transphobic piece of excrement. it's not even about trans people . well, it is. yeah, of course it does. so anyway, parents remove their four year old daughter from pre—school after
5:34 am
she was shown grandad's pride book featuring men in bondage gear and trans top surgery that was written by the winner of the waterstones children's book prize. so so this couple sent their their little girl to a nursery in expecting her to, you know, be taught and to be socialised and it turns out we have a book explaining what a dog is. yeah, exactly like that pre—school. >> i didn't even think . no >> i didn't even think. no you're never too early to learn about bondage. >> chris. get with the program now . she was exposed to this now. she was exposed to this book, and one image shows a to me it's all about granddad being grand and going to a pride march, right ? grand and going to a pride march, right? and on the pride march, right? and on the pride march she sees her granddad going to pride and she sees people dressed in adult leatherware and some images which are described as culturally sensitive. one image shows two men in fetish gear
5:35 am
kissing during a pride march whilst another marcher hides holds up a sign saying all you needis holds up a sign saying all you need is love and they're both partially naked and one has a leather codpiece moulded tightly around his . around his. >> i mean, he is laughing , but >> i mean, he is laughing, but this is shocking. >> next time, no , i haven't finished. >> he's got garters down his thighs and he also has a studded leather dog collar around his neck. this is for pre—school . neck. this is for pre—school. >> yes. let me get to a point where roy chubby brown is going to get banned and someone's going to say, where do you think you are? >> this is a comedy club, not a primary school. it's just. >> yeah, look, the levels of prurience, you know, i just don't understand modern morality. >> as christa points out, comedians get cancelled for having, you know, perfectly reasonable , no science based reasonable, no science based opinions . and then you've got opinions. and then you've got this being pushed on, on, on toddlers who don't even understand it. i mean, this is the thing. sexuality. fine. obviously you know, except some kids have got two mummies. some
5:36 am
kids have got two mummies. some kids have got two mummies. some kids have got two daddies, some kids have got two daddies, some kids granddads are gay or whatever . why toddler whatever. why does a toddler need to need to see them in a leather codpiece? >> because it's age appropriate . no, it's not. >> you're being incredibly homophobic, bigoted , culturally homophobic, bigoted, culturally insensitive. and i'd love to know what culture it's acceptable to expose toddlers to grand dads in fetish gear. that's insanity , because this is that's insanity, because this is progress , leo. this is what progress, leo. this is what we're doing . we are going to the we're doing. we are going to the glorious , sunny uplands of where glorious, sunny uplands of where we can, you know , where we can we can, you know, where we can be who we want to be if we want to get a three year old in dressing up, you know, in a codpiece . that's what we do now. codpiece. that's what we do now. this is what this is progress. it feels like we're progressing down a hole to hades itself . down a hole to hades itself. anyway, the guardian now is demanding slavery reparations . demanding slavery reparations. i'm looking forward to a fat cheque from vikings and berbers. cressida uk cannot ignore calls for slavery reparations . for slavery reparations. >> jones says leading un judge
5:37 am
judge. so judge patrick robinson, who presided over the trial of former yugoslav president slobodan milosevic , president slobodan milosevic, said the international tide on slavery reparations is quickly shifting and urged the uk to change its current position on the issue. so currently rishi sunak has said, no, we're not apologise for it. and this guy who's, you know, he's clearly he's clearly a man with some status given what, you know, his career. but and he's speaking in his official capacity. >> yeah. as part of the un but i mean i don't know how you even if you wanted to, i don't know how you would execute this because the amounts he's talking about are in the trillions. >> so he says that the uk should be required to pay $24 trillion. and the reason i know the reason it's so high, he says it's not surprising because this figure was arrived at over hundreds of years and he thinks it would be because it was arrived at over hundreds of years and it's so much money going to much money he's not going to make us pay it back immediately.
5:38 am
he says got to consolidate he says we've got to consolidate it a single lump sum . it in a single lump sum. >> even use dollars . we >> we don't even use dollars. we use pounds. he's not even done his homework. this is ridiculous. >> suggesting a 10 to >> and also suggesting a 10 to 25 year window for repaying this. you can have a 10 to 25 shoving it up his hole. >> this is nonsense. and also, frances, britain ended slavery is responsible. it's the only country in the world that's taken that step to be the first to end slavery. and there's more slavery in the world now than there was at the height of the transatlantic slave trade. but it's not being done by british people. it's not being by people. it's not being done by white people. nobody wants to white people. so nobody wants to say anything about it's say anything about it. it's being done in it's being being done in libya. it's being done middle it's done in the middle east. it's being china. so walk being done in china. so walk people touch it because it people won't touch it because it doesn't fit in with their little worldview. well, look, what doesn't fit in with their little wor|havev. well, look, what doesn't fit in with their little wor|have is alell, look, what doesn't fit in with their little wor|have is internalised what you have is internalised whiteness. it's the outside whiteness. it's on the outside as yeah. okay. and as well. yeah. yeah. okay. and you a white supremacist you you're a white supremacist and that's why you're not on board with listen, board with this. listen, there needs to be reparations and i now identify as a trans—atlantic
5:39 am
slave and i can't wait till i get my check in the post. >> you're trans if you're trans, what do you give yourself a check?if what do you give yourself a check? if you're mixed race, what do you i mean, if you're mixed race, what you do is you get one of those dna tests and they go 23. >> i don't know, congolese. and then you right, >> i don't know, congolese. and then you right , what? >> i don't know, congolese. and then you right, what? i want then you go right, what? i want my 23. that's how it works. >> i don't know how you would execute this. even if you truly wanted to. i don't know how you would ever do it. >> and also, it seems to play into the hands of, you know, extreme, the extreme far right who you know, they want to who say, you know, they want to undo every aspect of slavery, including, forcible including, you know, forcible repatriation, including, you know, forcible repathision, to be going this this seems to be going along lines of saying, well, along the lines of saying, well, we need unpick everything we need to unpick everything that slavery did, which is impossible for start. and impossible for a start. and surely we should be looking to try and bring society together instead of saying half a society, you need to pay, you know, all your money to that half. know. it's half. i don't know. it's absolutely and absolutely nonsense anyway. and it's because it's also a historical because in all seriousness, it also doesn't take into into account
5:40 am
the fact that actually a lot of these slaves were sold by the tribes people to the slavers who then took them to the united states. and it also ignores the trans—sahara slave trade for the ottoman empire , which was ottoman empire, which was actually far more brutal and actually far more brutal and actually trafficked far more slaves than the trans—atlantic slaves than the trans—atlantic slave trade. anyway, hopefully, hopefully those tribes that sold the slaves to tribes in africa, hopefully they invested the money and they still have a lot of it to pay these referees. i'm just saying we should blame the turks. moving on the telegraph now and the education secretaries keir now and the education secrewhether keir now and the education secrewhether university keir now and the education secrewhether university is(eir over whether university is affordable . francis well, so affordable. francis well, so this is keir starmer saying that if he was a young man now, he wouldn't be able to afford to go to university. and considering keir went to a private school, i find that highly unlikely. but anyway, we'll gloss over that fact. so he's saying that it's the university seems to the system has become more and more unaffordable the more we have gone , the more the loan system
5:41 am
gone, the more the loan system has become in the grants that have been taken away and actually , the person who is at actually, the person who is at fault for this is tony blair, who decides that 50% of our young people should go to university. and when pressed upon that fact, he had no coherent explanation as to why it should be 50, why not 40? 8? why not 52? too many people are going to university. we have a deficit, are thick and loads of them are thick. exactly. we have a deficit in the skills trade and you can earn far more becoming a gas boiler engineer, for example , you can earn up to for example, you can earn up to something that seems really hard. it is hard, but you can earn to someone lives a lot harder than going to university. yes, well, you do gender studies, degree. well, just like that. turn up. that. just turn up. >> do gender studies any degree with studies the title. don't with studies on the title. don't >> i did a theatre studies degree at me. okay degree and look at me. okay quickly on the next one, we're staying education. it's the staying with education. it's the telegraph again eton is telegraph again. and eton is destroying the only reason to send your kids to eton.
5:42 am
>> eton to open state >> exactly. eton to open state sixth forms for young people from deprived areas. so eton are planning to set up some little eton's near middlesbrough and some places in the north. i think only somebody who'd been to eton could think they could close the north south divide. this is what they think . oh, this is what they think. oh, there's a north south divide. we're going to cancel that, which is amazing. mean, maybe which is amazing. i mean, maybe it's that they're it's positive that they're trying who's trying to do that, but who's paying trying to do that, but who's paying this? as paying for this? presumably as the are paying for it, the as eton are paying for it, that means that the parents who pay that means that the parents who pay for eton are now to pay for eton are now going to pay pay for eton are now going to pay the elites, but are eton pay for the elites, but are eton paying pay for the elites, but are eton paying for this because they're saying to be state saying they're going to be state schools, be schools, they're going to be free to access. schools, they're going to be freewell,:cess. schools, they're going to be freewell, there's something in >> well, there's something in here about the paying. they're going donation. going to be giving a donation. >> year. well, >> yes. 3 million a year. well, is coming from eton. >> that will cover what the >> so that will cover what the gym kit. i mean, okay. >> at that point, the reality is and nobody ever wants to admit this in education, but the greatest of social greatest amount of social mobility that had was in the mobility that we had was in the 19505 mobility that we had was in the 1950s and 60s when we had the grammar school system, the grammar school system, the grammar school system to grammar school system led to lots of young people from
5:43 am
depnved lots of young people from deprived and working class areas, getting a real, really good education away from people who were chronically disruptive , trying to destroy the learning and the and the lessons couldn't progress . progress. >> that's what we need. if we actually truly care about social mobility is reinstated . is mobility is reinstated. is reinstating grammar schools in the poorest areas? bring back grammar schools. that's that's francis answer. sounds good to me. anyway, that's it for part three. and the final section we'll have nuclear waste. can you waste waste? and something else that i can't remember. see you in a couple of minutes.
5:44 am
5:45 am
5:46 am
welcome back to headliners kicking things off with the times with the supposedly funniest joke at the edinburgh fringe. it's more like when you buy christmas crackers on wish. francis it is indeed. so for
5:47 am
those of you who don't know at the edinburgh fringe festival, there you have the funniest. your own jokes. yeah, exactly , mate. >> just getting cynical. >> just getting cynical. >> yeah, just. i hate it. i hate the entire thing. anyway, they do the funniest joke at the edinburgh fringe and they do a little short list. so we're going to read some of them . the going to read some of them. the number one, the number one best joke at the edinburgh fringe. get ready for this one. i started dating a zookeeper, but it turned out he was a cheater. >> yeah, that's so that's like when lenny bruce has had his material read in court from a policeman's notebook . that might policeman's notebook. that might not be the delivery that lorna rose francis is famous for being able to suck the humour out of, out of his own. >> yeah, exactly . >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> can i do number two? this is my friend liz guterbock, and i think it's brilliant, her jokes. think it's brilliant, herjokes. she's american. she says the most i've heard most british thing i've heard a lady who said, well, i'm sorry, but apologise . but i don't apologise. >> i mean, that's a decent accent. i'll read out my friends
5:48 am
as well. so masai graham, who's as well. so masai graham, who's a comedian, said, a great comedian, said, i thought start with thought i'd start off with a joke about the titanic just to break ice. also, roger swift break the ice. also, roger swift is a fantastic guy and is also a fantastic guy and loves and he does all loves jokes and he does all these crazy props for his for his stuff. he says, my friend got locked in a coffee place overnight. now he only ever goes into starbucks, not the rivals. he's phobic. yeah yeah. he's cost the phobic. yeah yeah. i mean, the thing is, the thing is, with the edinburgh fringe joke , this is done by the dave joke, this is done by the dave tv channel. yeah. simon evans. there's a theory that they pick the, the main joke to be deliberately bad, to sort of make people think that it's better to stay in and watch. dave i think it's just because picking , know, picking a picking, you know, picking a obviously terrible joke creates this online ferrari where people are like, oh my god, he's terrible we are. terrible and here we are. >> and then nobody's talking about it. >> yeah, true. and it is. >> yeah, it's true. and it is. but they right because but they are right because comedy yeah so comedy is terrible. yeah so actually the hypothesis is not incorrect . it okay, well, moving incorrect. it okay, well, moving on. we've got the guardian now. and if i know japan well, this
5:49 am
next story will result in giant lizards destroying tokyo. francis it is indeed . so. it is francis it is indeed. so. it is the fukushima power plant. now after the disaster, they have kept a lot of water in tanks , kept a lot of water in tanks, but now they've decided that once it's been cleaned , as it once it's been cleaned, as it has been, that they are going to reintroduce it into the waterways. and is it still radioactive ? well, this is where radioactive? well, this is where things get a little bit. how can i put it a little bit contentious because they're saying it's absolutely fine. and greenpeace is saying, no, there's still some radioactive elements within it that are going to damage it. and even china have come out and said, look, if you do this, it's going to really damage our, you know, our relations with you and the fishing and the fisheries. let's chain a plea in politics because, you know, japan's one of their enemies in the region and. well, maybe. >> but i agree. but do you and. well, maybe. >> but i agree . but do you fancy >> but i agree. but do you fancy some fish that's been swimming around in this? yeah you do.
5:50 am
>> you know what a totally would . i totally would. i definitely would. because people overplay the level of danger posed to the pubuc the level of danger posed to the public by by nuclear power. the average amount of radiation that you absorb each year from nuclear power is equivalent to eating one banana and bananas aren't massively not known for it. >> so what happens to banana man? >> guys, come on. nuclear. nuclear power is actually one of the safest, if not the safest forms of power. even wind is more dangerous because people have to climb up a big ladder to fix the wind turbine and sometimes off. yeah. so, sometimes fall off. yeah. so, yeah. you've convinced yeah. i mean, you've convinced me have couple of me there have been a couple of big accidents, but. but not many. so, yes, nuclear is many. no. so, yes, nuclear is very safe and it's actually what we need if we are to decarbonise eyes. yeah, it all comes down to tritium, which a radioactive tritium, which is a radioactive substance. be removed substance. they can't be removed by facility's water by the facility's water filtration technology. so we don't know . the only thing we're don't know. the only thing we're going to see is that if they do pump it into the water, we're going to get some super fish. brilliant anyway, everybody loves the loves super fish. anyway, the
5:51 am
