11:06 pm
of windows weren't they. do you remithater they were running of windows weren't they. do you remithat you they were running of windows weren't they. do you remithat you knowy were running of windows weren't they. do you remithat you know that re running of windows weren't they. do you remithat you know that people ng one that you know that people had three times, had had upgraded three times, still still loading in, in the big floppy discs yeah. yeah. anyway, it's awful. anyway, i mean it's awful. obviously am slightly obviously i am slightly surprised. this is one of the busiest travel days of the year because the kids go back to school they? is school this week, don't they? is that i thought. i don't that right? i thought. i don't know. it's the holiday. know. it's the bank holiday. monday the last day monday is usually the last day of it's of the holiday. maybe it's people back. i people coming back. yeah, i think coming back from think people coming back from holidays the holidays because, yeah, the people overseas, so people are stranded overseas, so maybe 12 year olds maybe it's loads of 12 year olds have got together and hack the system so they don't have system so that they don't have to to school. don't to go back to school. i don't know. yeah what else have we got on there? got the guardian. on there? we got the guardian. bruce yeah, this is rivers at risk. bruce yeah, this is rivers at risk gob bruce yeah, this is rivers at riskgob rips up rules on >> gob rips up rules on new housing. is basically housing. so this is basically michael planning to rip michael gove is planning to rip up pollution rules, which up water pollution rules, which i thought they had previously because they were dumping so much in rivers and much raw sewage in rivers and because it was that woman. >> theresa coffey, that wanted everyone to eat turnips. >> and she, she was another person that she's backing him and this . and all this. >> and basically there is just anger out of the mouths of
11:07 pm
environmentalists who says it will further add to water pollution as water companies are already dumping raw sewage into the seas . the seas. >> political advisers say water pollution has become a major political issue the coastal political issue in the coastal areas and the potential to areas and has the potential to cause the conservative important seats next election. seats at the next election. >> yeah, well, it's very unpopular, isn't it? i think most people recognise it's a long problem comes long seated problem that comes from breakdown from infrastructural breakdown rather necessarily. on the rather than necessarily. on the other hand, you know, this is part of what comes with reaping profits the whole thing, profits from the whole thing, isn't do need isn't it? and also we do need new homes and there's a huge problem country with problem in this country with nimbyism. wants any nimbyism. nobody wants any homes. want live a homes. they want to live in a home, but they don't want to look the window and see look out the window and see another don't like new another home. i don't like new homes. i mean, my parents live in the countryside. exactly. the problem talking i problem i'm talking about, i used drive like a used to drive through like a christmas image christmas carols postcard image every it's all full of every time. now it's all full of little, know, bright orange little, you know, bright orange boxes. least weather boxes. we can at least weather them more. know, it's them a bit more. you know, it's not difficult. you a not difficult. you throw a bit of yoghurt the side and some of yoghurt on the side and some lichen on the side. lichen grows on the side. i might say a pergola or sharqi. of course. great mouthpiece for
11:08 pm
this, it? know, fergal this, isn't it? you know, fergal sharkey used to be in the undertones. heart is hard undertones. a good heart is hard to that's right. he's now to find. that's right. he's now like riverside like the number one riverside river. sewage authority. river. river sewage authority. is turn of events? is that strange turn of events? yeah. it's how like yeah. it's funny how people like p0p yeah. it's funny how people like pop seize on campaign pop stars seize on a campaign like wanted us all like sheryl crow wanted us all to use, like, one sheet of toilet paper. and i'm like, surely one of the things, one of the luxuries being the luxuries of being a multi—million rock star is you can use as much andrex as you want like walking want instead of like walking around bottom around with your bottom crunching. it's crunching. do you think it's nominative because crunching. do you think it's non sharky because crunching. do you think it's non sharky bit because crunching. do you think it's nonsharky bit i because crunching. do you think it's nonsharky bit i can't because crunching. do you think it's nonsharky bit i can't workacause crunching. do you think it's non sharky bit i can't work out se the sharky bit i can't work out if he's kind of been drawn towards some sort of water based environment, but i suppose. geldof think geldof mainly anyway, i think this could resolve this problem could resolve itself because apparently there's oestrogen there's a lot of oestrogen going into a result into the waterways as a result of the female birth control pill . so the fish are going to become more feminised and tidy. the place up a bit. that's right. it will become a more feminine environment, generally speaking feminine environment, generally spewe're not running out of >> we're not running out of fish, though. >> i am interested in this term nutrient though that >> i am interested in this term nutrien'like though that >> i am interested in this term nutrien'like an though that >> i am interested in this term nutrien'like an extra|ough that >> i am interested in this term nutrien'like an extra ordinaryit sounds like an extra ordinary euphemism what they're euphemism for what they're really asking for. >> sounded like something
11:09 pm
>> it sounded like something gillian mckeith would have said on that channel 4 program while she was sniffing a tupperware. she's definitely it was full of nutrients . nutrients. >> it probably had some of this river water in it. >> so honking . >> so honking. >> so honking. >> so honking. >> so let's have a look at the telegraph now. leo obviously they've with the air traffic they've led with the air traffic control, but they've got other stories. yes, they've got a picture the spanish chief picture of the spanish chief who we're discuss in the we're going to discuss in the next story. but the they've also got the met chief tells police do not support to woke do not show support to woke causes as so sir mark rowley has taken over the met police as it says he will not tolerate officers taking the knee or wearing rainbow flags on duty anymore. so this is an abrupt sea change for the met police who up till now have just been constantly apparently the major injury in the met police. now is getting a sore back or damaging your knee from all that? yeah taking the knee and everything's rainbow coloured he says it's essential that the police are impartial and this is absolutely right. he's described himself as fairly the
11:10 pm
fairly narrow minded on the issue . he fairly narrow minded on the issue. he said fairly narrow minded on the issue . he said the only issue. he said the only acceptable additions will be remembrance. poppies help for heroes wristbands and the police memorial badge. that's not narrow this is i mean, narrow minded. this is i mean, it's essential. is essential it's essential. it is essential that the police are impartial. they they're not even they can't they're not even going wear rastafarian going to wear rastafarian colours hill colours to the notting hill carnival that would carnival this year. that would be disappointing. but did they did i have them. did they not? i have seen them. i think they are. i know. i don't think they are. but, know, i seen that but, you know, i have seen that happen, know, and then doing happen, you know, and then doing a little bit of grinding and. yeah, yeah. i mean curling, i can sort of i can sort of see how if you're at a specific event something to show how if you're at a specific evenyou're, something to show how if you're at a specific evenyou're, you omething to show how if you're at a specific evenyou're, you know, ng to show how if you're at a specific evenyou're, you know, you're;how that you're, you know, you're there as of it rather there to as part of it rather than, you know, the than, you know, but also the police aren't there as part of it. they're there to be the police and to provide authority. yeah. i yeah. and, you know, i think i think some people need to be reminded and also the reminded that. and also the police showing police can't be showing favouritism groups. favouritism to certain groups. and problem with and this is the problem with with culture it elevates with woke culture is it elevates certain groups. oh, certain groups. it says, oh, these are marginalised minorities. actually minorities. we never actually are marginalised, always, you know, hear the end of know, you never hear the end of it. well, they may, it. but like, well, they may, they started as they may have started out as
11:11 pm
marginalised. of course if marginalised. but of course if you incentivise being marginalised, then then people will of will rush into that mode of themselves. no like themselves. yeah. and no like bonng themselves. yeah. and no like boring men are having to boring white men are having to like pretend they're neurodiverse got neurodiverse urgent or have got adhd try and get adhd or whatever to try and get some sort of victimhood so some sort of victimhood point so they can be a bit special as well. join the police, well. oh just join the police, i suppose.i well. oh just join the police, i suppose. i mean, he's pushing back college of back against the college of policing. this been the policing. this has been the thing about. this thing we've talked about. this over the last couple years on over the last couple of years on this where lot this this show where a lot of this kind nonsense has come out, kind of nonsense has come out, guidelines being suggested about non—crime incidents non—crime hate incidents and all this like this sort of thing. sounds like there some will to push there is some some will to push back against it. so that's good. let us get to this some story let us get on to this some story that all been waiting for. that we've all been waiting for. the bad kiss. the spanish kiss. >> . not the glasgow kiss. >> yes. not the glasgow kiss. isn't it ? >> yes. not the glasgow kiss. isn't it? yeah. no, no, >> yes. not the glasgow kiss. isn't it ? yeah. no, no, no, >> yes. not the glasgow kiss. isn't it? yeah. no, no, no, no. >> the spanish itch castanet. >> the spanish itch castanet. >> yeah . louis >> the spanish itch castanet. >> yeah. louis is it >> the spanish itch castanet. >> yeah . louis is it ruby? >> yeah. louis is it ruby? alice? is that how you say it? >> no. yes. >> no. yes. >> yes. his mother has gone on hunger strike in support of him because he's been, i think, suspended for 90 days. yeah from the rfa. so he's not lost his job. it'sjust the rfa. so he's not lost his job. it's just a suspension. and
11:12 pm
he claimed he was just caught up in moment. but i think the in the moment. but i think the woman that he kissed felt it was sexual harassment, sexually inappropriate . inappropriate. >> and i don't think that's ever been an excuse for sexual harassment. oh, i've just got a bit carried away. >> well, when you see the footage, you did look quite excited. but then what people are saying is this was at the end of the game. surely that level excitement would have level of excitement would have been or whatever, been at the goals or whatever, but then would you be but then would you not be euphoric? i don't know. >> just like euphoria >> it just looked like euphoria and it looked like the sort of thing that men do in football and it looked like the sort of thirthe 1at men do in football and it looked like the sort of thirthe time.an do in football and it looked like the sort of thirthe time. youo in football and it looked like the sort of thirthe time. you know, otball and it looked like the sort of thirthe time. you know, menl and it looked like the sort of thirthe time. you know, men hug all the time. you know, men hug and they're maybe not and kiss. they're maybe not kissing don't kissing on the lips. i don't know. i'm in the i would know. i'm not in the i would have thought. but they maybe they do. i don't know. this is he i he might he may i think he might genuinely have realised he genuinely not have realised he was offence. i was to going cause offence. i think certainly think that's certainly plausible. but on the other hand maybe there does seem be maybe this there does seem to be extraordinary it. extraordinary consensus on it. i thought would thought there would be if i'd been asked to guess beforehand, i thought it would i would have thought it would have a bit, you know. he have been a bit, you know. he said she said, you know, spanish, spain does not seem divided spain seems to
11:13 pm
divided on this. spain seems to want head. yeah, it's not want his head. yeah, it's not italy. but also also his mum italy. no. but also also his mum is you know, she's a bit on the larger side. so think she's larger side. so i think she's going all right. and the going to do all right. and the hunger mean, and also hunger strike, i mean, and also she's preparing for this. yeah, she's. doctors have given her three live, but three years to live, but also she's class. this she's middle class. so this isn't hunger strike. this is isn't a hunger strike. this is a fast. yeah, just think it's a detox. >> y- detox. >> detox. someone's just >> yes, a detox. someone's just going run by throwing bits of going to run by throwing bits of chonzo chorizo in. >> did notice. incidentally, >> i did notice. incidentally, lewis rubiales ended his playing career hamilton career at hamilton academical. oh, if oh, really? yeah. i wonder if that's up his that's where he picked up his bad habits. >> think there's anyone >> i don't think there's anyone there you'd want to kiss. it's all quite manky. >> going you're >> you're going to go. you're going to to go home and cry going to have to go home and cry in the car. bruce it in the car. bruce that's it for part one. coming up, we've got bankrupt councils, electronic ankles and trump getting bankrolled. we'll see you in
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
and bruce devlin. so let us have and bruce devlin. so let us have a look at the daily mirror. leo to kick us off in this section suella is eyeing up some attractive uncle where? yes. so suella braverman is weighing up an electronic tagging for asylum seekers amid the huge backlog, there's a backlog of 175,000 asylum seekers . and yes, she's asylum seekers. and yes, she's considering a range of options because they're grappling with this backlog and only have this huge backlog and only have limited accommodation in space with spiralling . i mean, with costs spiralling. i mean, it's costing us billions a year and doubling it's doubled and it's doubling it's doubled in the last year. so hopefully , in the last year. so hopefully, you know, it won't continue like that or it'll bankrupt the country . but yeah, there is an country. but yeah, there is an argument to be that argument to be made that electronic tagging makes sense because so many asylum seekers disappear . because so many asylum seekers disappear. i'm going to say asylum seekers , people who cross asylum seekers, people who cross the channel, the majority of which seem to be economic migrants . so they just migrants. so they just disappear. a lot of them just disappear. a lot of them just disappear into the aether to go and their friends and meet up with their friends or in cannabis farms or for or work in cannabis farms or for gangs or whatever. have you identified how this would address accommodation address the accommodation shortage? it like you got
11:18 pm
shortage? is it like you got your and now you can your ankle tag and now you can just off and sleep in a bush just go off and sleep in a bush or is that the idea? or something? is that the idea? i'm but i'm not totally sure, but i think if they're not in the accommodation, then that's been provided then can provided for them. then they can be . they can tracked. be tracked. they can be tracked. yeah. maybe they can and yeah. so maybe they can go and live pink houses in live in those pink houses in norfolk i know. so norfolk that i know. yeah. so what do you think bruce? is it dehumanising or just realistic? >> i think >> pragmatic? i didn't think they allowed leave the they were allowed to leave the accommodation they were in, accommodation that they were in, but security but i thought there was security on the doors. maybe that's been being and maybe there is a thing. >> now, i know i'm not suggesting this necessarily, and i certainly don't want to get a postbag about it, but i know that ambitious that there are ambitious immigrants san francisco immigrants in like san francisco who work high who want to work in the high tech sector there, who operate sometimes two or even three of them but in them share a bed. but in rotation, no way. yeah, seriously. like young indian seriously. so like young indian men, you know, intelligent, ambitious , but no capital. ambitious, but no, no capital. come francisco . and come to san francisco. and that's they can afford rent that's how they can afford rent in the heart of san francisco. yeah, timeshare a yeah, like a timeshare in a timeshare bed. and maybe timeshare on a bed. and maybe you the in you change the sheets in between. i don't know. i wonder
11:19 pm
whether might be the thing. whether that might be the thing. if the electronic if you've got the electronic tags, wander around in tags, you can wander around in the berkshire countryside and tags, you can wander around in the getzshire countryside and tags, you can wander around in the getzshieightlntryside and tags, you can wander around in the get (shi eight |ntrys block d tags, you can wander around in the getzshieightlntrys block of, you get an eight hour block of, you get an eight hour block of, you a hotel bed of bed. >> no, i rememberi bed. >> no, i remember i was going to move to luton. i was having a breakdown and a guy showing me the flat. i said, oh, where do i sleep? and he said, in the bed with me. and i declined so much. they just, you they were just, you know, i mean, although bag, mean, although it's my bag, i thought that was a bit forced to make sure which website you're you're, scanning you're, you know, scanning for possible yeah. >> well we'll with you >> well we'll stay with you bruce local government bruce now and local government news the guardian it seems go news in the guardian it seems go woking broke i think so this woking go broke i think so this is at least 26 english councils are at risk of bankruptcy in the next years. next two years. >> from body >> research from a body representing 47 authorities says many could follow slough, croydon thurrock and walking into collapse and at least 26 councils in some of britain's most deprived areas are at risk of effective bankruptcy within the next two years. but this is this is quite odd because woking is certainly not one of britain's most deprived areas.
11:20 pm
in fact i didn't think so, no. >> i mean paul weller came out quite angry, but he had no right to be really. he was it's i mean it's you know it's, it's a bit suburban, you know, it's not like posh posh like the cotswolds or something, but it's doing it's doing okay, isn't it? it's commuter some, some commuter belt. some, some councils terrible councils have made terrible investment decisions and this is one of the weird things they're not allowed to invest in building their own housing. they're not allowed to borrow money build their own money to build their own housing, invest in housing, but they can invest in insane scams . like there was insane scams. like there was somebody half £1 somebody who sold like half £1 billion worth of shares in solar panels exist to one panels that didn't exist to one of the councils, which which went bust. and also they've got rising from providing rising costs from providing care. councils have to care. so councils have to provide care to old people who've got an ageing population. so that's that's weighing on them. i i've them. but also, i mean i've worked in councils, so worked in councils, there's so much waste. you've got all these department just and just department is just and it's just people doing people sitting around doing nothing. basically a sort nothing. it's basically a sort of a sort employment scheme of a sort of employment scheme for useless graduates, you would think, wouldn't you ? every so think, wouldn't you? every so often an independent candidate
11:21 pm
would stand and just say, i will just route this all out. but i suppose there's too many vested interests it. well, interests to protect it. well, like in argentina who's like the guy in argentina who's just like, we're going to just like, yeah, we're going to slash, to slash slash, we're going to slash all these all these departments pulling yeah it's pulling them. yeah yeah. it's amazing. mean, there's so amazing. i mean, there's so many. look at different many. if you look at different councils no need to councils says there's no need to have does, why do have like, why does, why do hanngey have like, why does, why do haringey and camden and islington separate islington need to have separate councils essentially councils are essentially the same merge them same area, so just merge them all, get rid of all that. why have they got separate policy departments? why the policy departments? why is the policy on housing different on like housing tiles different in each just in each in each council just merge stuff? well, it's merge all that stuff? well, it's definitely a proven human tendency, isn't it? you get tendency, isn't it? once you get into like that, just into a thing like that, just start expand your department start to expand your department regardless it regardless of how much work it has i don't what do has to do. i don't know. what do you think? >> i think a lot of people that are in local government are in >> i think a lot of people that arfor| local government are in >> i think a lot of people that arfor theirl government are in >> i think a lot of people that arfor their own ernment are in >> i think a lot of people that arfor their own gain.ent are in >> i think a lot of people that arfor their own gain. yeah,e in >> i think a lot of people that arfor their own gain. yeah, and it for their own gain. yeah, and i that's the problem in i think that's the problem in all honesty. so i would like i know they know they're mediocre talents, but have outsized talents, but they have outsized ambitions perfect ambitions and that's the perfect fit. if you don't spend all >> and if you don't spend all your budget, you don't get the same budget year. it's same budget the next year. it's not data, you know, it
11:22 pm
not like data, you know, it can't roll over to the next scottish news. now in the times, leo and is that the sound of a covid kicked down the covid cam being kicked down the royal is. so the royal mile? yes, it is. so the scottish covid inquiry won't question politicians until 2025. it was reported on monday, whereas the uk inquiry has already taken evidence from lots of politicians, including nicola sturgeon. so they're actually the uk wide covid inquiry is further ahead in scotland than the scottish one. however, they are focusing the scottish one is focusing on residents first. so they've they've heard from 2000 residents apparently . residents apparently. >> and is this residents of care homes? >> i'm not sure . i don't know if >> i'm not sure. i don't know if any of them are left, although to be fair, the average age of coronavirus victims in scotland is actually older than the average age. average life expectancy. in expectancy. so people in scotland living longer if scotland are living longer if they get coronavirus like in scotland, isn't scotland, coronavirus isn't a disease it's antioxidant . disease, it's an antioxidant. like the scottish diet is so bad you can actually introduce a bat virus into it in scottish bodies. just go , what is this?
11:23 pm
bodies. just go, what is this? is this is this fibre? it's a it's a funny thing though with the scottish health isn't it, because it should be a healthy country. i don't you know there's loads of fresh air, there's loads of fresh air, there's loads of hills as you know there's inadequate public transport but that means you should be like absolutely bristling with little unhealthy because, all we're because, because we're all we're all going out fishing, going up the stuff. so the diet the hills and stuff. so the diet is, you've got an is, you know, you've got an aberdeen, got the aberdeen, you've got the butteries, you know, everything is and, you know, keeps, is heavy and, you know, keeps, keeps cold. but keeps you going in the cold. but no, not in cold now. no, we're not in the cold now. we're sitting in inside a call centre centre. well centre or a job centre. well obviously keep an eye on obviously we'll keep an eye on what there. this what happens up there. this sounds quite a video that opened with rendition dark with a rendition of the dark island bagpipe . this was island on the bagpipe. this was played opening of played in the opening minutes of the hearing . the hearing. >> wonder. you wonder why >> you wonder. you wonder why that on, really. you know, that goes on, really. you know, people have died. let's stop being and the being parochial and get to the heart the matter. heart of the matter. >> yeah, enough . times >> yeah, no, fair enough. times again bruce, something for again now, bruce, something for biden bear mind. the most biden to bear in mind. the most famous of the century is famous mugshot of the century is proving a winner proving to be a winner for shifting . shifting merchandise. >> yeah, so donald trump is
11:24 pm
apparently made $7 million. so far by virtue of bumper stickers, t shirts, beer glasses, things with slogans like never surrender . and that's like never surrender. and that's a huge amount of money to come into the coffers sort of thing. i mean, whether you like him or not, he is utterly shameless. well, the last time around, of course, i said not the last time. >> the first time around 2016, he was he was famously or notoriously able to keep himself in papers spending in the papers without spending a penny advertising, penny on campaign advertising, wasn't was his genius, really. >> that was his genius, really. now musk let him back. now musk has let him back. >> is. shot. look >> there it is. the shot. look at the on the hoodie. at the sheen on the hoodie. i know everyone's going the know everyone's going for the eyes, it was also i mean, eyes, but it was also i mean, it's extraordinary that that is like a police it look like like a police it does look like a very stylised image from a graphic novel or something. theft yeah yeah. theft auto. yeah yeah. >> it's a bit like an eye version of the paris hilton mugshot from back in the day. that's that's what i think it's going to go. >> you know, like kids have posters of all those ones like jim morrison and bowie had one, didn't he? jagger and all that.
11:25 pm
it's one of those, it's going to be one of those, isn't it? it's just to be isn't it? it's just going to be i the democrats are really i think the democrats are really creating a rod their own creating a rod for their own backs because i think they backs here because i think they thought we go after thought if we if we go after trump, it'll elevate him. and, you know, cause people to you know, and cause people to back then we can beat back him and then we can beat him the beatable him because he's the beatable candidate. biden candidate. like biden would never or even never beat desantis or even ramaswami. think biden ramaswami. i don't think biden could anybody under the could defeat anybody under the age of. it's so interesting. trump like he could win. trump looks like he could win. he easily win. and year he could easily win. and a year out, that policy will out, the idea that policy will have importance at all in have any importance at all in this election, it's entirely just a kind of just down to a kind of cheerleading, i suppose. >> it's the fact as well that he could be president from in a prison . yeah, i'd still be able prison. yeah, i'd still be able to run if he is incarcerated. well, the timing of the various attempts you know, the timing they have slated for the court cases and so on is very important from that point of view. >> and he is, i think if he's >> and if he is, i think if he's elected president before they managed in, he's managed to get him in, then he's then they can't they can't jail him. >> he'll be like b smith from cell block. h yeah. >> or noel coward at the
11:26 pm
beginning of the italian job, daily mail now. leo and a good deal more urgency in seeking legal resolutions in the states than in scotland by the look of it. yeah. so we've had trump being impeached, but the biden could be impeached soon. so the house oversight committee and the republican ones are having a formal inquiry into into biden family business deals which look very dodgy, very suspect and corrupt . and so the impeachment corrupt. and so the impeachment could could happen next month , could could happen next month, apparently, or at least the advancement towards the impeachment. so the house oversight committee, it's sort of like, you know, it keeps tabs on all this stuff, investigates politicians, political wrongdoing and politicians, political wronfound| and politicians, political wronfound a and politicians, political wronfound a huge and politicians, political wronfound a huge stack and politicians, political wronfound a huge stack of and they found a huge stack of issues with with the biden family . so there's £20 million family. so there's £20 million from countries such as russia , from countries such as russia, kazakhstan, ukraine and china flowed to biden family members for no reason . it's not like for no reason. it's not like they were providing a service or any goods or anything. it's all apparently and they've got
11:27 pm
evidence of all this money flowing is to buy access and to buy political influence. and you can see this, you can see this access and you can see this, this kickback. mentions this kickback. there's mentions of kicked up to the of money being kicked up to the big guy, joe biden, and also biden pressuring pressurise ukraine to fire a prosecutor who is investigating burisma, which was employing hunter biden for $50,000 a month. that was the first one, wasn't it? the first kind of created the red flag over ukraine and hunter out there, that particular phone call. and so on. and i mean, i know it's not exactly the same thing, but it is extraordinary how that foreshadowed the whole kind of catastrophe of russia invading ukraine and the extent to which ukraine seems to some extent compromised by itself, by its dealings with the american government. i mean, this feels like it's not just like a like a slush fund . this is like this slush fund. this is like this gets very close to the heart of foreign policy, right? yeah yeah, absolutely. and of course, trump had his own controversies over over ukraine before when he
11:28 pm
tried to hold them over over a barrel . but tried to hold them over over a barrel. but it tried to hold them over over a barrel . but it looks like, you barrel. but it looks like, you know, the prosecution of trump is almost a distract, a distraction tactic to get people looking away and not looking at this, because we've seen democratic dirty tricks before with the hunter biden laptop scandal they buried the scandal where they buried the fbi , which should be at arm's fbi, which should be at arm's length from political length from from a political party, with the party, colluded with the democrats, colluded with the media with big tech to media included with big tech to suppress totally story. suppress a totally valid story. it insane and also the it was insane and also the prosecution of donald trump. the court, i believe, has been set for the day before super tuesday , they pick the , which is when they pick the candidates . , which is when they pick the candidates. so all so candidates. so it's all so obviously politicised. it's insane. i mean , what do you insane. i mean, what do you think? are we entered a new era of american politics now? >> i'm. well, in terms of sleaze and corruption. >> terms of people >> well, in terms of people trying arrest or imprison trying to arrest or imprison their opponents , you know, that their opponents, you know, that seems to be like just seems to be almost like just part playbook. part of the playbook. >> think what happen with >> i think what will happen with him think they'll make him him is i think they'll make him walk up some stairs. he'll fall. everyone will forgive him because very steady because he's not very steady on his say, leave
11:29 pm
his feet. and just say, leave that wheeled man alone. i don't think he knew what he doing. that wheeled man alone. i don't thirthere's|ew what he doing. that wheeled man alone. i don't thirthere's quite1at he doing. that wheeled man alone. i don't thirthere's quite at he doing. that wheeled man alone. i don't thirthere's quite a lots doing. that wheeled man alone. i don't thirthere's quite a lot of doing. >> there's quite a lot of genuine speculation on twitter. i've lately that he's i've noticed lately that he's already the water, that already dead in the water, that the will have the democrats will already have a who they're going, a plan for who they're going, but i see that being but i cannot see that being harris, can you? >> but dead in real life, no. >> well, i mean, because you may hear that about people that are dead and that someone said dead and or that someone said avril alive, avril lavigne is not alive, which i think he's been animated by the walking with dinosaurs unit they very unit because they have a very clever animation, clever mix of animation, animatronics, keep animatronics, cgi. they keep changing you can never changing it up and you can never be one. the trouble be sure which one. the trouble with like like is with leaders like like biden is they all the tall they cut down all the tall poppies around them. so there aren't any threats, there's aren't any threats, so there's nobody you know, nobody to replace him. you know, it's it's like xi jinping's it's like it's like xi jinping's problem. absolutely true. this is two. in is that's it for part two. in part three, we've got fringe racists reading racists and french everything's french racists. everything's racist. a racist. we'll see you in a couple of minutes. >> warm feeling inside from >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast

11:37 pm
ken when. hwang yeah and made some sort of racist deeply racist comment in the review and then ken ken when hwang called him out on it on online was extreme, horrible racism. i will say i do think we sometimes look back with rose tinted spectacles . i'm not saying it was you know, it was terrible, but i don't remember. there was a penod don't remember. there was a period in the scottish in the edinburgh was edinburgh fringe where it was like portland, oregon. i mean, it was bit rough if you it was always a bit rough if you went too late life . do you went too late in life. do you know what mean? after midnight know what i mean? after midnight also be president also there would be president president obasanjo. he disrupted martial like or martial back in like 2014 or something. ran into my show. something. he ran into my show. well, while was performing. well, while i was performing. and a comedian and he, and he's a comedian and he, like, ran like, hunkered down and ran between like spoke to between and like spoke to somebody in the audience and then like and crouched in somebody in the audience and the|middle. d crouched in somebody in the audience and the|middle. d i'm crouched in somebody in the audience and the|middle. d i'm like, :hed in somebody in the audience and the|middle. d i'm like, whatn somebody in the audience and the|middle. d i'm like, what on the middle. so i'm like, what on earth are you doing? like, and then he like, scampers out again. for him be again. so for him to be complaining about people disrupting his show, if that's what i don't what he's complaining, i don't know these people are. know about who these people are. obviously know about who these people are. obvi> i think he was just complaining. people were screaming in the street, screaming at him in the street, which i think he's entitled to, but shouldn't be disrupting

11:42 pm
anything in encourages indoctrination it is. it's true. anything in kids,:ourages indoctrination it is. it's true. anything in kids, itjrages indoctrination it is. it's true. anything in kids, it willes indoctrination it is. it's true. anything in kids, it will have tribalism in kids, it will have a effect what you a powerful effect in what you want do is create the tribe want to do is create the tribe of which is very of the school, which is very uniform. used to come in uniform. you used to come in handy, but presumably that's considered to be unacceptable. yeah, like yeah, bring it back. like katharine says. katharine birbalsingh says. yeah, whatever she yeah, i would do whatever she says. i think about that. says. oh, i think about that. but back to the but anyway, leo, back to the mirror . and three on, mirror now. and three years on, the malingering continues with kids up bad habits from kids picking up bad habits from civil send kids to civil servants. so send kids to school with coughs and colds to stop them missing says stop them missing class, says tory minister. this is schools minister nick he told minister nick gibb. he told parents even a few out parents that even a few days out of class a sustained period of class over a sustained period can damage children's life chances, especially for disadvantaged children . so disadvantaged children. so they've got some stats here. schools are reporting increased absenteeism since since lockdown , with nearly 1 in 4 children off school. more than 1 in 10 days in the last year. and the overall absence rate is about 11% across all schools. there's a lot of kids, you know, if you think about it, you know, 10, 11, that's i mean, obviously it's spread across more children, but that's still a big
11:43 pm
chunk of the population. you're not getting a proper education. it's a big chunk of those kids themselves missing and themselves are missing out and be is also disruptive to the unity the class. because if unity of the class. because if you're aware your mate is not there, the one who normally sits next to or whatever, that next to you or whatever, that can disruptive well. can be disruptive as well. i remember that. >> you remember when we >> do you not remember when we were you had to dying were younger you had to be dying before you know, would before your mum, you know, would keep off sort of thing. keep you off sort of thing. >> touch your forehead all. you're fine. >> because used to sit >> yeah. because i used to sit in front of the fire and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fant of the fire and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fa feverthe fire and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fa fever andire and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fa fever and all and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fa fever and all that and >> yeah. because i used to sit in fa fever and all that kind of get a fever and all that kind of stuff. my mum would send me to school with an antibiotic for tonsillitis. right. and is tonsillitis. right. and it is absolutely tonsillitis. right. and it is absolutewhat he says, and >> also what he says, and i think it's very serious and important that it is, it's important point that it is, it's an asymmetrical effect well. an asymmetrical effect as well. it's much worse for disadvantaged if you come disadvantaged kids. if you come from home which doesn't from a poor home which doesn't have books, which doesn't have parents to at parents encouraging you to at least you're in least read while you're in bed or whatever, they're ones least read while you're in bed or w slip ver, they're ones least read while you're in bed or w slip behind. 're ones least read while you're in bed or wslip behind. yeah, ones least read while you're in bed or wslip behind. yeah, notes that slip behind. yeah, not good. for part three. good. that's it for part three. don't anywhere after the don't go anywhere as after the break. we have processed diets, mediterranean diets and diet mediterranean diets and no diet whatsoever. in whatsoever. we'll see you in a couple of minutes
11:47 pm
and welcome back to headliners. so the independent now with leo and the war on processed food continues to make ground, though not ground beef in a ready made lasagne. i hope. yeah, if you can still get it instead of horse. so ultra processed foods increase the risk of cardiovascular disease as according to these studies, they've got twin studies that revealed that the consumption of ultra processed foods such as cereals, fizzy drinks and fast food, significantly raises the risk of high blood pressure. hean risk of high blood pressure. heart disease , heart attacks and heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. wow. they needed studies to do that. so if you sit eating chips and pizzas and fizzy drinks, it's bad for you . fizzy drinks, it's bad for you. also, i'm wondering, is it just a marker so the people who are lazy and or some people don't have time to make any food, don't have time to open a can of chickpeas, it takes two seconds. the people who chuck a microwave
11:48 pm
pizza. but there are some foods. i mean, we occasionally i come, you know, via tesco express you know, back via tesco express or whatever, on the way back from the station and you nip in there. there are some processed meats that look quite healthy, you would understand you know, i would understand obviously you're just obviously if you're just going to some of them, to eat the odd but some of them, you they a kind of you know, they have a kind of french kind of aesthetic, french bistro kind of aesthetic, you know. well, i don't know if there are any don't how there are any i don't know how there are any i don't know how the cooking differs from the cooking process differs from what do at home or what i might do at home or whether heating up or whether the heating up or whether the heating up or whether salt or whether it's the salt content or the amount of salt. >> is it is that what the problem does contribute to high blood know that blood pressure? yeah i know that through family through people in our family that stroke and it that have died of stroke and it is a lot to do with, you know, if you're eating nothing but ready meals, the salt and sugar content really high content can be really high because not like because this is not like oven ready chips or whatever, which you would be a bit you might guess would be a bit rubbish, they're rubbish, but yeah, but they're not. as bad as you not. they're not as bad as you think. you know, potato is a potato. it's just carbohydrate. >> are scottish. so our >> we are scottish. yes. so our scale a different level. scale is at a different level. are they going to start because we've like traffic we've been having like traffic lights have you
11:49 pm
