. young british girls are being used as bait to entice north african men to come to britain. videos of teenage girls on nights out are being sent by human traffickers to north africans, and they're coming overin africans, and they're coming over in their droves. between january and june this year, around 87% of channel crossings were male. the message has been sent out to north africa . we sent out to north africa. we will take you to britain and you can have your way with young women. look at them. they're they're degenerate drinkers . they're degenerate drinkers. they're yours for the taking. that's what these videos appear to show. it's disgusting . but to show. it's disgusting. but it's also very, very concerning because what else do human traffickers send these people in videos . they send them videos of videos. they send them videos of nice rooms as well. they nice hotel rooms as well. they get that, don't they ? they send get that, don't they? they send them videos of boats arriving on british shores. and that happens . so everything else that they've been promised has come true, it ? and once true, hasn't it? and once they've got the boat here and then they've got the hotel room , you think that they

, do you not think that they might then out have might then go out and have a look the women? obviously look for the women? obviously not everybody coming across the channelis not everybody coming across the channel is a sexual predator. i want to make that very clear. and we already have quite enough of i of those over here anyway. i mean, ask police force. mean, just ask the police force. but glance of google but a cursory glance of google reveals numerous cases of convicted rapists trying to cross the channel or people who've been accused of sexual offences since arriving. and i just wonder if we're making that problem worse . we know that problem worse. we know that there are cultural differences at play here. we know what the culture can be like in that part of the world. they have radically different attitudes towards women, the role of women, male dominance , sex, what women, male dominance, sex, what is and is not acceptable. and also as well crucially , the age also as well crucially, the age of consent. now if having sex with young looking women out on the street wasn't going to be a pull factor for some channel migrants, then why would people traffickers be advertising it to them ? is there not a concern them? is there not a concern that by bringing a load of sexually repressed men to the land of milk and honey, that it

could lead to more rapes and more sexual assaults ? certain more sexual assaults? certain people on the left will tie themselves in knots over this . themselves in knots over this. they will have to resort back to the old trope of, well, if women don't want assaulted, don't want to get assaulted, then should cover up and go then they should cover up and go out less we've already out less. we've already parted with billions of pounds of taxpayers money. we've already allowed social allowed hotels and social housing to used. we've housing to be used. we've allowed more pressure on our pubuc allowed more pressure on our public services . i really cannot public services. i really cannot believe that people are just going to accept that women and girls being much less safe as well. and to think, hey , just to well. and to think, hey, just to think people say the brits aren't tolerant enough . aren't tolerant enough. what do you think? hey, do you agree? do you disagree? gb views our gbnews.com. i will go to your email shortly after the break, but reacting to my big opinion tonight on my brilliant panel opinion tonight on my brilliant panel, we've got criminal

barrister, former conservative mp, bit of a leftie now mp, a bit of a leftie now though. gerry hayes, fashion journalist zita and journalist lizzie zita and former labour special adviser who is still a lefty. it's paul rich. it's great stuff. well, i think on this , i really do have think on this, i really do have to go to the female member of my panel first. lizzie, what do you think i want to emphasise before we crack on with this? i'm certainly not trying to say everybody over the everybody coming over the channel sexual channel is some kind of sexual predator, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. saying that it is etcetera. i am saying that it is being and clearly being advertised and clearly the advertising working . and do advertising is working. and do you think that there is risk you think that there is a risk with what's going on in the channel women ? channel for women? >> well, think there's a risk >> well, i think there's a risk coming over, coming from people coming over, just checked. just not being checked. >> that's the biggest thing my parents immigrants , parents were both immigrants, one from italy, one from hungary. were both checked. hungary. they were both checked. they had to first for they had to first leave for health. secondly, for any criminal and thirdly , criminal records. and thirdly, because that's the normal thing to do . yeah. think they to do. yeah. so i think they should checked. but it's should be checked. but it's completely it's out of control. and that there are and i think that there are people have committed all and i think that there are peop|of have committed all and i think that there are peop|of crime, ve committed all and i think that there are peop|of crime, including:ted all and i think that there are peop|of crime, including sexual sorts of crime, including sexual crimes, that are coming to the

country. and yes, it is a worry i >> -- >> do you think , gerry, i'll go >> do you think, gerry, i'll go to you on this. do you think that we're going to end up in a situation where we overtly tell women that they have to change their behaviour to if they are living in an area near one of these migrant hotels? >> for example, i hope not. >> for example, i hope not. >> if the story that you presented is true , then it's presented is true, then it's very concerning . but where's the very concerning. but where's the evidence? yeah, well , we haven't evidence? yeah, well, we haven't seen a clip. have you got clip? >> i'm glad you've asked because we do have the clip, which i'm hoping that we'll play in a second. so this is the videos that have been sent out to people from people in north africa from human now, human traffickers. now, the accounts that these been accounts that these have been sent are just sent out from, these are just some there have some of them. there have got hundreds of thousands of followers. we're managing to followers. and we're managing to circumvent algorithms social circumvent algorithms on social media weren't using media because they weren't using text, they using emojis, text, they were using emojis, etcetera. i don't exactly etcetera. i don't know exactly how to do that, but how they managed to do that, but they've done it. and these are some of the i mean, some of the clips. i mean, there's this stuff, there's loads of this stuff, right? advertising there's loads of this stuff, right some advertising there's loads of this stuff, rightsome the advertising there's loads of this stuff, rightsome the othertising there's loads of this stuff, rightsome the other clips that some of the other clips show, plush show, you know, plush hotel rooms, money, so rooms, cars, money, etcetera. so we gist right? we get

we get the gist right? we get the but yes. do you the gist. but yes. gerry, do you think we are going to end think that we are going to end up having to change our the way our here accommodate? >> no, no , we shouldn't because >> no, no, we shouldn't because we're wrong. if they did, women must behave in the way that they think they should behave. the days have gone where you someone is accused of rape. oh, would you got a low cut dress. you got a high. no, those days are gone and it can't be mentioned in court. this is really, really , court. this is really, really, really troubling . really troubling. >> paul, i wonder if this might be the tipping point or depressingly , something awful depressingly, something awful has to happen for it to be the tipping point. the british taxpayer has not yet kicked off massively about the overt cost of this thing. massively about the overt cost of this thing . some of the of this thing. some of the cultural issues or things when it to migrant hotels it comes to migrant hotels in the areas, if they do the local areas, or if they do genuinely feel that their mothers, sisters and wives are in danger on the streets, that could be something that really enacts change in the channel >> i think you were being very careful with your words and you

were seeking to be absolutely sure that not every immigrant is a potential rapist and all of that. however this kind of material being put out in this kind of way, think , conflates kind of way, i think, conflates those things. and i think those two things. and i think it's quite dangerous. there is no then how does it because the reason somebody gets on boat reason somebody gets on a boat and risks neck and goes to and risks their neck and goes to and risks their neck and goes to a new country and, you know , a new country and, you know, goes on the on the open sea lanes, is not because they fancy some woman they've seen. why would you advertise on the internet? >> why would you put it with that with a picture of a hotel room, with wads cash, with room, with wads of cash, with nice life isn't it? >> well, life isn't it? >> well, life isn't it? >> i would echo gerry's point. where's the evidence this? where's the evidence for this? you know, video. well, you know, 1—1 video. well, there's stuff on the there's a lot of stuff on the internet. come on, patrick. there's lot of stuff. no, no, there's a lot of stuff. no, no, no. this has been absolutely. >> push back on that. i >> i will push back on that. i do you're do appreciate what you're saying, important saying, because it's important to will massively to be sure, but i will massively push back on that because this has come exclusive from has come as an exclusive from our editor, mark our home security editor, mark y, got loads sources y, who has got loads of sources on managed obtain y, who has got loads of sources on clips, managed obtain y, who has got loads of sources on clips, we'venanaged obtain y, who has got loads of sources on clips, we've reported obtain y, who has got loads of sources on clips, we've reported it obtain y, who has got loads of sources on clips, we've reported it to tain the clips, we've reported it to the clips, we've reported it to the media companies, the social media companies,

etcetera. is absolutely kosher. well, hopefully they'll >> well, hopefully they'll they'll that the they'll shut that down. but the point the reason point is, this is not the reason people coming to the uk. people are coming to the uk. >> this a bigger story. >> but this is a bigger story. this is a bigger story because you've got the you've got the boats got boats which are here, you've got the stockholm the biggest bibby stockholm and you've into you've got people coming into weathersfield like that. weathersfield places like that. you've got 500 people. no i'm not suggesting for one moment they're rapists or sexual predators just coming in from a foreign country . predators just coming in from a foreign country. this is the problem and it's going to cause tensions. >> but it is alludes to what you were talking about, lizzie, which is the basic checks and my big point on this would be cultural as well. if some people are coming from parts of the world where we know that there are vast differences between the way that we would treat women in this between things way that we would treat women in this the between things way that we would treat women in this the beconsent,ings way that we would treat women in this the beconsent, in|s like the age of consent, in terms the power dynamics terms of the power dynamics between and a woman, and between a man and a woman, and the dominance activity the dominance in sexual activity as well . and not we're as well. and we're not we're not, appears to me, making any attempt to change the way these people about i think people think about that. i think that's . that's a worry. >> well, it is a worry .

that's a worry. >> well, it is a worry. but that's a worry. >> well, it is a worry . but then >> well, it is a worry. but then again, come the second i've seen various waves of migration come to this country and i'm very i follow it because i'm because that's where i come from. and i think that people after the first jet, they start to integrate. they come to the schools a lot of migrants to this country have done great things for this country. legal, legal things. and they've gone through the they're mad on education. they really make sure we're talking about, though, is it ? n0, we're talking about, though, is it ? no, but but i we're talking about, though, is it? no, but but i think we're talking about, though, is it ? no, but but i think that we it? no, but but i think that we have to bear this in mind in order to give a balanced and fair discussion to this matter. we cannot vilify no, we cannot vilify people . and also, you're vilify people. and also, you're saying that you know exactly where this tape has come from, but the middle the middle class professionals, because they can pay professionals, because they can pay the 15 or £14,000 to actually come over here, they're professional. >> why didn't we let them work? why do we keep them up in the bibby stockholm? them work , bibby stockholm? let them work, pay bibby stockholm? let them work, pay taxes and wait for their

asylum and you you wouldn't have any concern with that due to the lack of safety checks. well, you've got have safety checks you've got to have safety checks before can of course you've got to have safety checks befc have. can of course you've got to have safety checks befc have. and1 of course you've got to have safety checks befc have. and this of course you've got to have safety checks befc have. and this whererrse you've got to have safety checks befc have. and this where the you have. and this is where the home us all down as home office lets us all down as they always have done. >> but putting them hotels >> but putting them in hotels and a few pounds a and giving them a few pounds a week let them let week is nonsense. let them let them out and work. million them get out and work. million people, of jobs that need people, a lot of jobs that need doing right. >> what's skill set? are >> what's your skill set? are you nurse in your country you a nurse in your own country 7 you a nurse in your own country ? doctor? so just. ? are you a doctor? so just. >> you an engineer? but >> just are you an engineer? but just on then, just to clarify on that then, would take the word would you honestly take the word of somebody who says that they're nurse or a doctor and they're a nurse or a doctor and let them in our nhs? let them practise in our nhs? >> you check out. >> no, you check them out. >> no, you check them out. >> check. >> you can check. >> you can check. >> you can check. >> you them out, give them >> you check them out, give them a check them a check. you got to check them out everything you out and everything else. you might as well check them out on that. but if they want to work over they've got over here, if they've got they've skills they've got the skills and wouldn't in exactly the wouldn't we be in exactly the same are now same situation that we are now because check because we're trying to check them with backlog, them out now with the backlog, aren't we? >> and all too often people go, well, to tell well, we're not going to tell you we're from, we're you where we're from, we're going make up we're going to make up where we're from, etcetera. would from, etcetera. so why would someone suddenly go, oh, actually a

actually i'm a nurse or a doctor. being funny, doctor. i'm not being funny, jerry well. but it's pretty jerry as well. but it's pretty easy to come here you're easy to come here if you're a nurse or a doctor. you don't need come across channel. need to come across the channel. >> test these >> well, you can test these people. can put people. you can actually put them medical exams. people. you can actually put therknow, medical exams. people. you can actually put therknow, we medical exams. people. you can actually put therknow, we can medical exams. people. you can actually put therknow, we can use,ical exams. people. you can actually put therknow, we can use, gosh,.ams. you know, we can use, gosh, there's a million people. you know, we can use, gosh, the whyi million people. you know, we can use, gosh, the why shouldn people. you know, we can use, gosh, the why should why)ple. you know, we can use, gosh, the why should why should people >> why should why should people why who've why should people who've come here allowed to here illegally be allowed to work have brits? work when we still have brits? >> they're here >> we don't know they're here illegally? exactly >> you're conflating two things, illegally? exactly >> the re conflating two things, illegally? exactly >> the re conmigrationo things, illegally? exactly >> the re conmigration bill,�*|gs, illegally? exactly >> the re conmigration bill, ifs, somebody. >> all right. i'll just >> okay. all right. i'll just say my if somebody say it in my book. if somebody arrives on a dinghy across arrives here on a dinghy across the channel, they here the channel, then they are here illegally. the illegally. so that's the premise. might illegitimate. >> not the law. exactly. >> illegal migration bill is exactly. >>going llegal migration bill is exactly. >>going itzgal migration bill is exactly. >>going it may’viigration bill is exactly. >>going it may be ration bill is exactly. >>going it may be your] bill is exactly. >>going it may be your book, s to going it may be your book, but the law. but it's not the law. >> but putting them in hotels or on barges or anything else. >> what the >> and that's what creates the flashpoints you know, flashpoints and the, you know, the you people the tension. if you let people into them into the community, get them working, you working, whether it's, you know, picking don't care picking up litter, i don't care what the job is they're earning and they're paying taxes. they're english and they're learning english and they're and that's what communities. and that's what gets of this you're gets rid of this tension. you're talking meanwhile, are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lotsmeanwhile, are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lots of anwhile, are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lots of jobs|ile, are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lots of jobs that are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lots of jobs that are are lots gets rid of this tension. you're talk lots of jobs that are open, ots and lots of jobs that are open, right? like in hospitality , right? like in hospitality, like, listen, my parents started

>> serious gb news radio. loads of you getting in touch . loads of you getting in touch. >> susan says we've been a abandoned by our government. okay, jen says thank you for bringing this subject up. as a female born in the 50s, i have watched as we have fought for our freedom over the decades. i'm concerned that the i'm very concerned that the cultural issues of these people coming unchecked will be coming over unchecked will be impacting upon our freedoms coming over unchecked will be impactyou upon our freedoms coming over unchecked will be impactyou know3ur freedoms coming over unchecked will be impactyou know what?adoms coming over unchecked will be impactyou know what? iioms coming over unchecked will be impactyou know what? i actually again. you know what? i actually think if more people were just honest then we'd honest about that, then we'd realise majority realise that that is a majority view. but alas , some people view. but alas, some people don't out loud . roy says,

don't say it out loud. roy says, hi i love it when hi patrick, i love it when you're you very much, you're on. thank you very much, roy, i be excused as roy, but can i be excused as smashed already by roy? yeah. as long as you don't turn over the channel long as you don't turn over the channel, mate. that's absolutely fine. whilst at fine. and whilst you're at it, if smashed, if you're that smashed, staggered other tv staggered to all your other tv sets, as well. get sets, put them on as well. get the up. so this the numbers up. okay, so this week, india launched a rocket into did they just surely into space. did they just surely such an achievement is the maker of thriving nation. but just a of a thriving nation. but just a few days after the rocket blasted off, it was announced that britain would be increasing the of money that we're the amount of money that we're going to be sending to them by around sent india around 70. now, we sent india £33.4 million last year. it's set to raise to around £57 million mark. so is it time to stop sending foreign aid to countries that don't seem to need it? i am joined now by the founding chairman of the global britain centre, eamonn amin. thank you very, very much. why should the british taxpayer be sending a penny to india ? sending a penny to india? >> well, we're not simple. >> well, we're not simple. >> fact is, look , first of all,

>> fact is, look, first of all, we are thank you for having me on the show. and look, i've long campaigned for reform for our international development budget . i think we have been spending more than perhaps very generously, most other western nafions generously, most other western nations look at the us, look at japan, look at australia. they're spending around 0.2% of their gdp, where we were spending 0.7 and it was welcome that we reduced that to 0.50 .55 of our gdp. and of course yes we should help those most in need, yes, we should help empower women and girls just want to pick up. >> i've got to pick up on what you said literally the first words out your mouth, how amount we are sending words out your mouth, how amount we india. are sending words out your mouth, how amount we india. ar

to india. we are okay. >> so if by that you mean the money that the british international investment company is investing for profit in indian private sector, which is giving a return to the uk taxpayer . but if you giving a return to the uk taxpayer. but if you mean by that, that is aid, then that is not the definition of aid. >> patrick the, the, the icai gave uk indian aid program right? >> an amber or red score, which is the second worst score and it said this it lacks a strong link to poverty reduction which remains the statutory purpose of uk aid. so it's not working. that's a question. >> and that now of course there there is look, let's be honest . there is look, let's be honest. >> the questions you're asking need to be asked of our government here in the united kingdom. yes. the simple fact that we need to be investing the uk taxpayers hard earned cash in a far better way that delivers actual economic development and

prosperity for our friends and allies who are in need of that . allies who are in need of that. now, let's break this down. the top ten foreign aid recipient countries of the uk were afghanistan , nigeria, pakistan, afghanistan, nigeria, pakistan, ethiopia, yemen . south africa. ethiopia, yemen. south africa. somalia. south sudan. sudan syria. most of those are failed nations. >> we had to stop giving some money to syria because it turned out it was literally going to terrorists and in afghanistan thatis terrorists and in afghanistan that is now under full taliban rule. now if we if we break down the figure that's been bandied about over the last few days of 2.3 billion, between 16 and 21, the vast majority of that. >> let's break it down. so 1 billion of that was invested in private sector equity in india by the british international investment company . yeah. which investment company. yeah. which gave a return to the taxpayer . gave a return to the taxpayer. >> now it did, i'm afraid. >> now it did, i'm afraid. >> and i'm sorry because that is actually just wrong. in one large investment , it went to large investment, it went to a mid—sized indian bank that was meant to increase lending to poor customers, but it was not ring fenced. it was not ring

fenced. that's exactly what. and it is exactly what i'm getting at. >> so some of that investment has gone to good places. so, for example, some of that investment has gone to reliance power , has gone to reliance power, trying to generate more renewables . now for renewables. but now wait for this . some of renewables. but now wait for this. some of it went to a company called voonik. now your viewers will be quite pleasantly surprised to hear it is a company which provides a personal stylist service provision providing customers with the best hand—picked clothes . now, is that really the clothes. now, is that really the best use , even if it is an best use, even if it is an investment of british taxpayers hard earned money? well, it's not another. it's not. and that's why we need reform on our side here in the uk. i mean, look, the government of india has been long asking the uk to stop sending aid, and this was before 2015. >> take it . >> take it. >> take it. >> well, okay, so the uk india roadmap in 20 agreed by prime ministers boris johnson and prime minister modi last year was very specific. it said, look, we do not need any more of

this money, but the uk has a national interest in trying to drive investments from our global investment companies , be global investment companies, be it in the city of london. so for example, much of that bilateral aid that is being bandied about is actually going to places, for example, like the uk india partnership on national infrastructure investment fund. now that is a fund where british money is going into that infrastructure fund in india to try and catalyse the investment is going from the city of london thatis is going from the city of london that is giving our lenders a return on that investment. look, the indian investment, giving lenders a return on this is this is the thing i get. >> i get what you mean. and i do also understand that it is not quite as simple as well. in fact, it's not really the case. the indian government coming out and going. not matter and going. it's not a matter that billion, the indians face. >> it simply is not the case. no but does very, very but it does look very, very jarring to the british public that taxpayers money is that any taxpayers money is going to a country that can land something on the far side of the

moon british taxpayers are moon and british taxpayers are spending india. spending money to india. >> very dubious >> they're getting very dubious returns and i would just returns off it. and i would just say as well, i think i think we i think we need to have a serious we need to have a serious we need to have a serious conversation. >> british international, we >> the british international, we need no, need to need to have no no, we need to have conversation have a serious conversation about that has a about why a country that has a serious conversation, fifth largest world, largest economy in the world, the fifth largest economy in the world, . world, right. >> economy has grown by >> their economy has grown by 7.2% in the last financial year, which is way more ours. yet which is way more than ours. yet poverty remains an astonishingly high level. >> the conversation that we need to having is, first of all, to be having is, first of all, the directory that is going to those top ten recipients. for example, why on earth are we spending good money on pakistan when it has a nuclear. >> i agree. >> i agree. >> no, i agree . by the way, >> no, i agree. by the way, i the reason why i focussed on india , right, was because you india, right, was because you just find something at the moon in india, which is, you know, a gift as far as i'm concerned. but you're absolutely spot on pakistan. reason why pakistan. there's no reason why we doing that. china, pakistan. there's no reason why we sending doing that. china, pakistan. there's no reason why we sending them that. china, pakistan. there's no reason why we sending them money.1ina, pakistan. there's no reason why we seactuallyem money.1ina, pakistan. there's no reason why we seactually buildingey.1ina, pakistan. there's no reason why we seactually buildingey.fake

they've actually building a fake moon help crop production. at moon to help crop production. at one we spent about £25 one point, we spent about £25 million it to people million giving it to people in kenya who were classed as rainmakers, and would look rainmakers, and they would look at and predict at ants and try and predict the weather. mad. at ants and try and predict the wetwell, mad. at ants and try and predict the wetwell, myou go. so absolutely. >> and we need serious reform here uk on our here in the uk on our international development budget. first of all, let's look at the us . they spend 0.2% of at the us. they spend 0.2% of their gdp. we we're spending nought 7. we have far too nought point 7. we have far too many people that need domestically our help . okay. we domestically our help. okay. we domestically our help. okay. we do think we need to be focusing far more on that. and secondly, i think we need to be far more focussed on even if these are investments on what exactly is it that we're investing in? are they bringing social change? are they bringing social change? are they bringing social change? are they bringing economic prosperity to both the uk and india ? i mean, i gave you that india? i mean, i gave you that example of that firm that is being funded by one of the private this being funded by one of the priv boy this being funded by one of the privboy is this being funded by one of the privboy is investing this being funded by one of the privboy is investing in. this being funded by one of the privboy is investing in. what is our boy is investing in. what is it providing ? so those are it providing? so those are serious questions that needs to be asked. but i think boiling it down simply, oh, look , you know, down simply, oh, look, you know, 2.3 have gone. mean , 2.3 billion have gone. i mean, the made a profit of £585

million last year. okay. now thatis million last year. okay. now that is a return on that investment. india is 20, 28% of that portfolio . however, having that portfolio. however, having said that, i think, yes, we need a serious discussion here in the uk. but sadly , i think in this uk. but sadly, i think in this election year coming up, we're not going to have it is well, that's the problem. so but having said that, i've got it. >> we've got it. we're going to have to get going. i'm afraid. thank you very much. i really do appreciate you coming on about all chatting to all of this and chatting to me about and having a bit of about it and having a bit of a robust back and forth. it is great to have you on the show, sir. the founding sir. bogle is the founding chairman of the global britain centre. right. coming up next with pundits was the with the pundits was the controversial football with the pundits was the contr( ifzrsial football with the pundits was the contr( if you've football with the pundits was the contr( if you've not football with the pundits was the contr( if you've not seen)tball with the pundits was the contr( if you've not seen it,all kiss? if you've not seen it, i'll the pictures. i'll show you the pictures. a cultural misunderstanding or downright perversion . i'll see downright perversion. i'll see you in two. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on . gb news evening. weather on. gb news evening. >> i'm alex deakin and this is

. but however, you've got to realise is it is dealing with factual, factual and fictional matters. this is a tragic factual matter and it is up to the point of the princess diana years. so you know, it's like other autobiographical movies and everything else which deal with tragedies. so you know, it's going to happen . i mean, i it's going to happen. i mean, i hear that they're going to deal with it in a sensitive way. i'm not i'm not quite sure how you deal with that sort of car crash in a sensitive way. but no, we'll have to wait and see. what i find interesting about this was this was just before i think this radar a bit this flew under the radar a bit for before harry and for people just before harry and meghan did their netflix thing. >> harry did a thing with james corden. okay and i'll you corden. okay and i'll tell you what, if you oh, gosh, if you had one fake gun and one fake bullet and you lined up harry and james corden, i don't know which one you'd go for. but anyway, he was james corden, lovely chap. and he was saying to him, do you feel about to him, how do you feel about the crown ? and he said, well,

the crown? and he said, well, i like crown. don't the like the crown. i don't mind the crown obviously not crown because it's obviously not real. he was having a pop at people doing news broadcasts and slamming them and presenting certain things as fact. and i thought, that's not really true, is it, harry? i mean , it became is it, harry? i mean, it became obvious why he'd said that shortly afterwards because he signed pound signed a multi—million pound deal the deal with netflix and the crown is netflix. however, is on netflix. however, i thought, well, people take what happens the crown as fact , happens in the crown as fact, don't they? it'll be don't they? so it'll be interesting to see what he makes of what they do about his mum's death . death. >> yes, will be interesting >> yes, it will be interesting and that is unfortunate and that is the unfortunate thing crown , which i thing about the crown, which i quite think it's quite like. i think it's a superb drama. it's very well acted by all the people who've played all the various roles throughout the first five series. but you've got to remember that it's taking factual matter and fictionalising them . there's an fictionalising them. there's an awful lot of fiction. there's an awful lot of fiction. there's an awful lot of things that didn't happen, you know, in real life . happen, you know, in real life. um, and yes , i agree with you. um, and yes, i agree with you. it would be interesting to see if harry actually makes any

comment at all about how they deal comment at all about how they deal. i doubt very much if he will, because remember, he's still paid lots of mazuma still being paid lots of mazuma for from from netflix. i'll be very surprised if he if he says anything if he's to going be critical of it. >> but i think his hypocrisy if he doesn't i'm sorry, but i think hypocrisy if he think it's hypocrisy if he doesn't. very quick to doesn't. he's very quick to chime in about absolutely every single thing. and but he single other thing. and but he won't because the won't do it. why because the money talks won't do it. why because the mon actually, talks won't do it. why because the mon actually, where's talks won't do it. why because the mon actually, where's his talks won't do it. why because the mon actually, where's his money and actually, where's his money coming lot of coming from these days? a lot of it from netflix. it is coming from netflix. however on that note, him and however so on that note, him and meghan interesting meghan in interesting stuff there. over there. so harry's coming over just before the queen's death and this is where harry's i would argue, at his best. so he's doing a wellchild thing. then got invictus then he's got the invictus games. harry on his own, doing some very genuinely worthy charity work. you know , he's charity work. you know, he's back at it. he's a few pints and whatever else down soho, way away from being the old harry that we and love. okay. but that we know and love. okay. but meghan is only going to be there for end of the invictus for the end of the invictus games. doing stuff games. they're doing more stuff separately she's seen separately. she she's been seen without engagement ring. without her engagement ring. what's on?

what's going on? >> right. >> right. >> well as you quite rightly say, he's coming over. for the 7th of september for the wellchild awards, which he's doing himself. if last last yean doing himself. if last last year, meghan came over with him. now, it's interesting this is this the optics of this visit are going to be glaring to show if you ever needed how separate this royal family is. if you ever needed how separate this royal family is . this is this royal family is. this is this royal family is. this is this is it. and remember that on the 8th of september is the anniversary of the queen's death . and on the 9th of september, he's in dusseldorf for the opening the invictus games. opening of the invictus games. now, you're absolutely right . now, you're absolutely right. meghan's going to join him midway through that. she'll be she'll over there. and she'll be flying over there. and i don't think we should be reading much into the fact reading too much into the fact that she's not going to be there with him straight away because she she's looking after the kids and everything and everything else. fact else. but it's more the fact that william is sorry , harry is that william is sorry, harry is not seeing his father or his brother. now, they'll be up in balmoral , reflecting quietly on

anyway . that is why they anyway. that is why they deliberately try to demonise people who oppose them. look at what happens with ulez now and another very expensive , massive another very expensive, massive oppressive bit of the green agenda. firstly, what they'll do is they'll take misleading opinion polls, so they'll ask questions like, do you care about the climate or do you think clean air is good ? and think clean air is good? and then when most people say yes , then when most people say yes, because we're not idiots, they use that as total justification for all of their policies. but when people are asked things like do you want to pay for a new car or can you afford a new boiler , the answers are very boiler, the answers are very different , but that gets different, but that gets conveniently ignored and they'll say that they've done a public consultation, but then it emerges that they've already bought all the equipment that they need the policy so they need to enact the policy so they need to enact the policy so the never the public consultation never mattered . then they'll go after mattered. then they'll go after the reputation of the people who still oppose them . they'll say still oppose them. they'll say that bigots, that they're bigots, that they're theorists, they're conspiracy theorists, that also aligned that they're also aligned to obscure . that's that they're also aligned to

obs�*attempt . that's that they're also aligned to obs�* attempt to . that's that they're also aligned to obs�*attempt to silence . that's that they're also aligned to obs�* attempt to silence them.t's the attempt to silence them. they'll try to rig scientific data to support their views by paying data to support their views by paying for it and only using selective little bits of it on some things like gender issues, for example. they know that the vast, overwhelming majority of people believe in just two genders, so they'll try and get the kids on board by indoctrinating them at school. sometimes they'll just blatantly lie to you and rely on people thinking that the opposition party is going to be worse. like on immigration in all of this means that they don't really have to worry too much about what the public think because they've either rigged public support for it or demonised a lot of people into silence. and then this is the icing on the cake on the rare occasion where the public might get a chance to vote on something directly like, oh, i don't know, a referendum . oh, i don't know, a referendum. um, they'll either try to overturn it or water it down or make such a mess of it that they hope that people their make such a mess of it that they hope tand)eople their make such a mess of it that they hope tand endle their make such a mess of it that they hope tand end up their make such a mess of it that they hope tand end up doing their make such a mess of it that they hope tand end up doing what they minds and end up doing what they were supposed to do in the first place. on of

were supposed to do in the first pla

barrister, conservative take at ten tonight, criminal barrister, hayes. conservative take at ten tonight, criminal barrister, hayes. we've rvative take at ten tonight, criminal barrister, hayes. we've got ve mp jerry hayes. we've got fashion lizzie zita fashion journalist lizzie zita and former labour special adviser paul l richards. jerry, i will start with you. in your former capacity as an mp, you don't think there's more of a chasm now between our public and our politicians? no i don't. >> i think there's a chasm between the executive live. in other words, the government and actually mps . you speak to most actually mps. you speak to most mps and you speak to their constituents and they really are in touch with what people actually feel because they're deaung actually feel because they're dealing with it every day. the executive seems to be completely out of touch for every government. look at post office submap after the post office people who have lost so much money. why aren't they being paid out? well, look about the people who've been tainted with with blood. why haven't they been paid out? these are the sort of things that the government should be dealing with. politicians generally, i

think they're fairly in touch . think they're fairly in touch. government not. >> okay . all right. interesting. >> okay. all right. interesting. lizzie i'll go back to you now on this . and i just think like, on this. and i just think like, for example, the big one at the moment is ulez. right? which is if you were so sure that you're doing the right thing you doing the right thing and you wanted to bring the public on board why would you board with it, why would you have essentially few have to essentially rig a few opinion pay the opinion polls, pay for the science want and then science that you want and then have consultation have a fake public consultation despite bought despite already having bought all for it anyway all the equipment for it anyway ? i mean, that to me looks like tyranny. >> well, it's a very good question asked my question because i was asked my opinion on ulez the last time that was on the and that i was on the show and i said i was in support of it. i've since changed my mind. oh here we go. because now i've changed my mind. i'm not in support of it anymore because i think that the information that we've given is misleading. we've been given is misleading. i mean, how dangerous is it? how dangerous are these fumes? there was a report by imperial college that's been called into question. i'm not saying that it's definitely a fault or it was biased. >> it was a report that was paid

for. >> it was paid. it was paid for by the mayor of london, £800,000. he basically paid for a report that he was hoping would give him the results that they wanted. and the quote they wanted. and then the quote was, disappointed was, we're very disappointed with the findings and they've decided to. decided they don't want to. i mean, ridiculous. mean, that's ridiculous. >> it is ridiculous. >> you yes, it is ridiculous. >> you yes, it is ridiculous. >> but my point is, it's hard >> but my point is, it's so hard to get to the truth of anything . it's very, very difficult. you have to be so politically. yes you have to be really careful where you look for your information . okay. information. okay. >> but it's raising taxes, isn't it? that's what it's about. >> it is. >> it is. >> it's raising taxes. it's getting money, not to help the kids with lung problems. >> exactly. but this is see, this is exactly it, isn't it? and then this is how they get you, right? and this is exactly my point, paul. instead of just saying because they know saying that because they know that go like that that would go down like a cup sick with people who cup of cold sick with people who are facing to facing are already facing up to facing up to a cost of living crisis. they what, you're they go, oh, what, you're opposed you ? so you opposed to ulez are you? so you want die, know, why want kids to die, you know, why do this stuff? it's do they do this stuff? it's tyranny, paul. >> tyranny . and we know

>> it's not tyranny. and we know that hospital admissions of kids going in with asthma and bronchitis are increasing. we know the air is filthy and we know the air is filthy and we know that it's vehicles causing it. so the question then is, what you do fix it? now if what do you do to fix it? now if ulez is a policy that needs finessing or changing the finessing or changing or the calibration then you calibration is wrong, then you change but you don't just change it. but you don't just get completely and go get rid of it completely and go back filled streets back to the smog filled streets of london we had a few years ago. know, you clean up the ago. you know, you clean up the air devise that air and you devise a policy that works well . works well. >> can we start with public transport? buses are filthy. >> can we start with public tran know, buses are filthy. >> can we start with public tran know, they 3uses are filthy. >> can we start with public tran know, they should re filthy. >> can we start with public tran know, they should allilthy. >> can we start with public tran know, they should all be y. you know, they should all be electric in other cities. i know that they're just about to. i think there's something like 300 million they want to pump into the to make the buses electric. but this should have been done a long time ago 4000 people die of asthma because of the dirty air. so every year. so that's really bad. we do have to clean up the air, but it's just that who do you believe? which reports do you believe? which reports do you believe? >> well, no, but it's not the actual if you hard enough,

actual if you look hard enough, the is in there. the actual truth is in there. >> like amount years >> so like this amount of years that say it's the amount of that they say it's the amount of lives that every single lives that it costs every single yeah lives that it costs every single year. right. the way that they ended was ended up calculating that was because of hours per life that it amount of hours per life that it actually took off. and then when you extrapolate that data over an entire population, you can then say that around 4000 people a year will die. but it's not the reality of the situation. it might knock anything between a day and three days off your life. what were you planning in doing three days? if life. what were you planning in doir smoke three days? if life. what were you planning in doirsmoke or three days? if life. what were you planning in doir smoke or you ae days? if life. what were you planning in doirsmoke or you drinkrs? if life. what were you planning in doirsmoke or you drink or if life. what were you planning in doir smoke or you drink or you you smoke or you drink or you enjoy a kebab or you do anything else dangerous sports, for else like dangerous sports, for example, every chance example, there's every chance that to you that that's going to kill you before and inhale before you go and inhale something a car exhaust. something out of a car exhaust. but jerry, i've got to ask as well, you know, what about this stuff know people stuff with they know that people by large that there by and large think that there are genders. for are just two genders. for example , they get example, and they can't get people round so what people round on that. so what do they they indoctrinate the kids. >> i don't know what indoctrinate the kids. i'm just rather concerned . and i, rather concerned. and i, you know, i just have a very simple principle that people who have

penises, who have male genital alia shouldn't be allowed into female lavatories. they shouldn't be in charge . they shouldn't be in charge. they shouldn't be in charge. they shouldn't go to the rooms which women should be protected . it's women should be protected. it's not terribly difficult . well, it not terribly difficult. well, it is if you want to identify why as a woman or a man, i really don't care. but but don't. if you're a guy with with with a penis , i expect because you're penis, i expect because you're identifying as a woman to go into a female prison. it's just stupid . stupid. >> if you were still a labour adviser, what would you be telling keir starmer about that then? >> well, i'd look at the legal situation and protect the minorities and make sure that women are also their hard won rights are also protected and there's a perfectly reasonable way to create law that protects all people . and what we need to all people. and what we need to get away from is the kind of very virulent and unpleasant debate around this, which is so toxic . and what i would i would toxic. and what i would i would argue , paul, that the most argue, paul, that the most unpleasant thing is , is children unpleasant thing is, is children being deeply confused , used.

being deeply confused, used. >> and i think that people who want to write books or or they call it educational material that teaches people not much older than toddlers about sex are actually probably deeply unwell themselves. >> patrick i mean , i agree with >> patrick i mean, i agree with you on this, but it's not just children who will be confused . children who will be confused. it's politicians who are confused. you know, we have this great argument can a woman have a penis and people are thinking about it. people are debating. it's ridiculous. it is ridiculous . it's ridiculous. it is ridiculous. s and wrong . ridiculous. s and wrong. >> but but this is my argument. then paul, you know, why aren't you know your, your your bloke keir starmer, he's been very squiffy on all of this and it comes from politicians, doesn't it? asked it. it? politicians are asked on it. they're to the they're supposed to lead the way. know, they? what way. they know, don't they? what the majority people the vast majority of people think, haven't think, but they haven't got, for want better phrase, the want of a better phrase, the balls it. and lie balls to do it. and so they lie to us about they really to us about how they really think it's another lie from our politicians. to politicians. we are lied to about you're about everything. you're a central premise, is that

central premise, patrick is that our democracy is becoming tyranny. >> and i would just argue we've got a general election coming up next year. millions of us will go to the candidates will go to the polls. candidates will stand, people will have a choice. there manifestos . we choice. there are manifestos. we have councillors elected in may. all over country, then all over the country, but then they do what they what they don't do what they what they don't do what they what they were elected do. they were elected to do. >> the other thing. >> paul that's the other thing. you don't do. >> what they're elected to do will immigration, will bring down immigration, will bring down immigration, will the will do will stop. the boats will do that gets worse and worse that and it gets worse and worse and worse and something comes up and worse and something comes up and oh, sorry, we can't. >> most politicians, most politicians in this country, whether or national, do whether local or national, do a good don't know their good job. you don't know their names they just on good job. you don't know their nam

>> yes, we have a general. >> between what, gerry? between what? between between two versions of this. >> they can can kick the >> they can they can kick the tories out over here a poo tories out over here and a poo over here. >> which one smells nicer? >> which one smells nicer? >> what you're >> oh, no, that's what you're being asked choose. being asked to choose. >> democracy. >> so it's democracy. >> so it's democracy. >> have a choice. >> so it's democracy. >> if have a choice. >> so it's democracy. >> if otherve a choice. >> so it's democracy. >> if other people oice. >> so it's democracy. >> if other people look ukip can put up nigel farage can put up all these other people can put up, people will a up, and people will have a choice. democracy . choice. that's democracy. >> but patrick as well, you can say what you're saying. this channel can say more or less what they like . we can go and we what they like. we can go and we can stand in the middle of the street and shout our political opinions. no one will come and try and poison us or stab us or push us off the balcony. >> yeah , i'm going to have to >> yeah, i'm going to have to move on from this. >> but that is such a reductive thing, right? oh, i don't get killed for saying stuff. killed for saying this stuff. great. happy. great. i should be happy. should i? if vote for i? what about if i vote for something then that thing something and then that thing doesn't for me, is doesn't happen? that, for me, is not democracy anyway, right? doesn't happen? that, for me, is not no,1ocracy anyway, right? doesn't happen? that, for me, is not no, that's. anyway, right? >> no, that's. >> no, that's. >> well, that's going to happen anyway. going happen anyway. that's going to happen anyway. that's going to happen anyway. vote anyway. just because you vote for doesn't to for something doesn't mean to

parliament that is money that parliament so that is money that they receive when they lose their seats or in this case as well, if they quit, is set to be doubled with the figure going apparently to be over about 19 grand, supposedly be the equivalent months equivalent of four months rather than two. so the pay is allocated to help former members shut down their offices , help shut down their offices, help with previously with staff departures previously , the payment would only be given to those who either lost or down in a snap or stepped down in a snap election. all election. but now they all qualify . tim are they just being qualify. tim are they just being paid to fail here? >> oh gosh, it's so difficult to know how one judges failure, but what i would say is i would add that they also get paid a severance for having lost their job. >> they can also apply for the expenses as of winding down their office. and of course, they're also paid £86,000, which is well above the average salary, which is historic , salary, which is historic, typically been the case until 1911, mp5 typically been the case until 1911, mps were not paid. then they started to be paid and when their salary was introduced , it

their salary was introduced, it was about £400 a year, which was way above the average salary at the time of about £70 a year. so mps have always done fairly well and of course on top of that it was always understood and generally culturally accepted that they would be able to do something side. plus something else on the side. plus they claim expenses some. they can claim expenses or some. my is there's a bit of a my point is there's a bit of a myth kicked around that mps are underpaid and very often highly paid who are brought in paid people who are brought in and how can we make and asked how can we make parliament work how can parliament work better? how can we politics? the we improve our politics? the first they do they look first thing they do is they look at salary and they say it's at the salary and they say it's far the best far too low to get the best people in world. of course, people in the world. of course, the kind of people they tend to ask are mps being the right ask are mps being paid the right amount? themselves tend to ask are mps being paid the right ampaid? themselves tend to ask are mps being paid the right ampaid insanelyemselves tend to ask are mps being paid the right ampaid insanelyemsesalaries. to be paid insanely high salaries. so of an inbuilt so there's a sort of an inbuilt white elite idea that the white collar elite idea that the big problem here is mps not big problem here is mps are not being so you need being paid enough, so you need to things like this to to do more things like this to bribe people to come. to do more things like this to bribe pecane to come. to do more things like this to bribe pecan i,o come. to do more things like this to bribe pecan i, can me. to do more things like this to bribe pecan i, can 1,3. to do more things like this to bribe pecan i, can i, can i ask >> tim can i, can i, can i ask just quickly, there already just quickly, is there already a great deal? >> and they don't need any more? >> and they don't need any more? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> and as well, if they quit way in like loads of mps in advance, like loads of mps

and also whether or some and also whether or not some have officially announced it yet. to quite few yet. i've spoken to quite a few recently stepping recently who are also stepping down. is going to down. so that figure is going to rise. there's one man who's rise. and there's one man who's got of got an incredible amount of integrity, name on integrity, who i won't name on this, he knows he's going to this, but he knows he's going to lose his seat, but he's actually staying because he doesn't believe over failure. believe in handing over failure. so take loss so he's going to take the loss and then crack on. but but, but what are actually getting for what are we actually getting for our money? so we had the end of the johnson era, which was the boris johnson era, which was a government a total circus, and government wasn't doing a lot the wasn't really doing a lot of the bafic wasn't really doing a lot of the basic functions necessarily . basic functions necessarily. then truss for a bit then we had liz truss for a bit and then that all went up and then we've got rishi sunak and then we've got rishi sunak and then they're holiday . so we then they're on holiday. so we haven't actually really been let. so what are we paying for , right? >> so first of all, there's been a great deal of political crisis, which as you say, takes up time. but if you if you look at daily operation of at the daily operation of parliament, not great of parliament, not a great deal of it is a waste of effort. anyway, i'm a parliamentary sketchwriter i'm a parliamentary sketchwriter i on much of the i have to sit in on much of the parliamentary day. it starts half monday, which half way through monday, which is to come

is because people have to come from very far. don't don't mind that on thursday and that it ends on thursday and then they're back home on friday and during the week period , i'd and during the week period, i'd say roughly two thirds of mps do not attend debates. it's a good debate. if there's a third of mps there , they're off doing mps there, they're off doing constituency work. they do some very on things like very good work on things like committees . that's where committees. that's where a lot of very interesting stuff in of the very interesting stuff in parliament place. it's parliament now takes place. it's really how really striking how low attendance debate tends to attendance the debate tends to be and how some of those be and also how some of those debates are pointless since since bierkoe there's since the bierkoe era, there's been in this sense that been a rise in this sense that the mps have got to take on the executive and scrutinise it all the fine . but for the time. that's fine. but for instance, get opposition instance, you get opposition debates where you know they're going they bring going to lose. they bring a pointless motion against the government and we have to sit there throughout an there and watch it throughout an afternoon evening. afternoon and an evening. and it does tremendous does feel like a tremendous waste of money. i suspect waste of money. where i suspect i with you is i would i disagree with you is i would actually happy doing actually be happy with mps doing less. there's too much less. i think there's too much legislation, there's much legislation, there's too much parliament and i'd prefer it if there was a general consensus that mps are almost part time, that mps are almost part time,

that they're professionals who do something else, like nurses or teachers or lawyers, and they dedicate some part of their year to to parliament to to coming to parliament to represent constituents . represent their constituents. what they're not, which many of them they and like them think they are and act like they is glorified grand they are, is glorified grand councillors who are there to fix people's personal problems in parliament. that's not how it works. there should be less of it and there should also be much less mps. there are far too many of them. >> you know what you've made, you've made a really good, you've really, really you've made a really, really solid there with solid effort there with that point think now point because as i think now that they've got far too for that they've got far too big for their almost got their boots, we've almost got a potent combination of people who possibly wouldn't be high flyers in their field outside parliament, possibly so have decided to become an mp and go through the process there. so we're not getting the brains trust in. but then they've also had elevator , odd sense of had an elevator, odd sense of self—importance and they now think that they need to micromanage every single aspect of people's lives. and then they

micromanage every single aspect of peo ae's lives. and then they micromanage every single aspect of peo a very ves. and then they micromanage every single aspect of peo a very ves. ltimeien they micromanage every single aspect of peo a veryves. ltime doingay micromanage every single aspect of peo a veryves. ltime doing it, spend a very long time doing it, which they don't actually which means they don't actually do and that is do the big stuff. and that is thatis do the big stuff. and that is that is bad pr plus, there's been a culture change. >> there's been a switch towards an american style sense that you've got to represent your local you be local , local area. you must be local, must represent your local area, and yourself and you must bother yourself with dog, muck and with things like dog, muck and bin actually that's bin collections. actually that's not what parliament's there for at but really the most at all. but really the most recent cohort people elected recent cohort of people elected see as local see themselves as local champions. and again , that champions. and again, that attracts a certain kind of person , very good, nice people. person, very good, nice people. but people who are focussed on the local than national the local rather than national and of them don't and many of them don't necessarily grasp national necessarily grasp the national issues . and that's one of the issues. and that's one of the things that helped to bring down bofis things that helped to bring down boris johnson was that was boris johnson was that there was a number of tory a significant number of tory mps who just didn't have who who just didn't have experience didn't have experience and didn't have a kind of perspective to rally around the leader and suffer the sungs around the leader and suffer the slings and arrows of politics. >> yeah, absolutely ridiculous, right? we're a bit pressed for time. just to ask you time. i'm just going to ask you very, uh, time. i'm just going to ask you very, uh, is ulez very, very quickly, uh, is ulez one of the great cons our one of the great cons of our time? i'm >> i don't know about that. i

think there's a fundamentally good principle here which is trying phase out cars and trying to phase out old cars and encourage people to use cars which going reduce air which are going to reduce air pollution. is, is pollution. the problem is, is the is punishing the very the fine is punishing the very people it's supposed to people who it's supposed to help. going to punish help. it's going to punish the poorest that poorest hardest. and in that sense, it's a classic example of do good or horribly wrong. do good or gone horribly wrong. and for sadiq khan suggesting and as for sadiq khan suggesting that are against it that those who are against it are conspiracy theories or far right , well, the labour right lunatics, well, the labour candidate in october said that ulez stopped and i presume he's not some kind of trump loon. >> yeah, fantastic . let's say. >> yeah, fantastic. let's say. thank you very much. it's great to have a chat with you. thanks for coming on and spending a fair bit of your friday night with me. tim stanley there. take it now. loads more coming it easy now. loads more coming your come back. okay. your way when i come back. okay. it's people. it's paper time, people. i've got little at the got a sneaky little look at the front pages right here. some spicy there. don't miss spicy stuff on there. don't miss it. outlook boxt it. a brighter outlook with boxt solar >> proud sponsors of weather on . gb news evening.
