young man escaped just before 8 am. this morning and has links, we're told, to the kingston area in south—west london, not that far, really from wandsworth pfison far, really from wandsworth prison in south—west london. however, police say it is perfectly possible that he may have escaped outside london. he has also got connections to the north—west of england a little earlier i was speaking to the head of counter—terrorism command here at scotland yard, commander dominic murphy, who told me just what unfolded at 750 this morning. so around 750 this morning, daniel cliff , who this morning, daniel cliff, who is a man who was on remand following a counter—terrorism investigation, escaped from wandsworth prison and is currently at large somewhere in the uk and in terms of how he escaped , we're told that he was escaped, we're told that he was wearing chefs paraphernalia, chef's uniform , um, and that he chef's uniform, um, and that he may have clung to the underside of a food delivery truck. is do

you know that to be the case? >> well, i can say that he was, yes. wearing chequered red and white trousers and a white t shirt and brown boots when he escaped from prison . as to how escaped from prison. as to how he escaped, that's entirely a matter for the prison service. clearly, it will form part of our investigation. that's a matter for the prison service. well there was some some negative , significant negative, significant information there from commander murphy really about this individual, the fact that while he was wearing that chef's uniform, as you heard, we understand, according to the police , that he did actually police, that he did actually work in the kitchen at the prison, which is an indication clearly of how he came about this uniform. >> it wasn't just given to him by another prison, but what the commander was not able to confirm for us is what i've heard from other sources is that this young man clung to a delivery food delivery vehicle

after it came to wandsworth prison. and as it was leaving the jail, he clung to, we think the jail, he clung to, we think the underside of that vehicle as it left the prison . it left the prison. >> mark when was the alert raised? so when? >> because i see now that there's calls for everyone to stay vigilant, keep your eyes and your ears open and all the rest of it, but you say this happened at 750. this morning. so when did it become public knowledge? farage well, it became public knowledge in terms of the metropolitan police alerting us and everyone else at mid—afternoon when it actually was was revealed to the prison services , is that one of their services, is that one of their prisoners , a man due to stand prisoners, a man due to stand trial on terrorism charges , had escaped? >> we don't know . there's still >> we don't know. there's still quite a few unanswered questions. the commander could only go so far in what he was able to tell us and said that really these are matters for the prison service in terms of when

exactly they knew about the escape and how he was able to escape and how he was able to escape in the first place. clearly part of that has been answered by confirmation that this this young prisoner was working in the kitchen. so he got his chef's paraphernalia from there . but did that give from there. but did that give him access to other areas? probably not. but if that food delivery truck was right up at the kitchen , you can then the kitchen, you can then probably see why he was close enough to the food delivery truck to be able to attach himself to it. but yes , quite himself to it. but yes, quite how long after he escaped the prison service is became aware of that? we don't know yet. it's one of those key unanswered questions . questions. >> michelle. yeah, indeed. final question. i mean, this prisoner was previously, i think, held in belmarsh, transferred at some point to wandsworth. >> is he a risk to the public? do people need to be concerned and or not? >> well, what the commander said to me with regard to that is he

said, obviously , he knows this said, obviously, he knows this young man through counter—terrorism command and the investigation that they launched into his alleged offending, he's charged with a hoax bomb incident. he also is charged with trying to elicit information that could be of use to terrorists and also offences under the official secrets act. however, the commander does not believe that he poses a significant risk to the public. having said that, he's clearly , having said that, he's clearly, you know, an alleged offender facing a trial determined to get away. so the advice of the pubucis away. so the advice of the public is not to go near him. but if anybody sees this young prisoner, then they are to call 999. as a matter of urgency. >> thank you . fascinating stuff. >> thank you. fascinating stuff. mark white. quentin, i do find this fascinating . so this fella this fascinating. so this fella got out of prison apparently about 8:00 this morning, then

becomes public knowledge. so everyone's got to keep their eyes peeled for him at some point in the afternoon. so we're talking about six hours gap. i mean, he's not going stand mean, he's not going to stand around taking selfies for hours on going he's on end. he's going to be he's going to gone. this is quite going to be gone. this is quite remiss, isn't not? remiss, isn't it not? >> yes, surprising it took >> yes, it's surprising it took so embarrassing for the so long. embarrassing for the governor for the governor embarrassing for the prison embarrass prison service, embarrass thing for no doubt the for politicians, no doubt in the long authorities will long run, the authorities will be looking at this suspect's network of friends and family and the allegations against him are serious. they need to be tested in a court of law and you would have thought he would be as keen to have them tested as anyone else, given he is innocent until proved guilty and it is got a feel. it's got a slightly old fashioned feel to it. this is an old fashioned news story. the sort of thing that used to happen in the 1960s with were would with people who were would escape from prison, almost like something out of porridge, isn't it? >> well, it is. these things do happen very rarely. apparently there's been five prison escapes

since 2017 and fewer than 20 since 2017 and fewer than 20 since 2010. david, your thoughts 7 since 2010. david, your thoughts ? yeah, it's extraordinary. >> i've never heard a story like this that's given been given so much mainstream media attention. >> mean , yes, say there's >> i mean, yes, you say there's been prison escapes , but i been other prison escapes, but i guess, you know, he a very guess, you know, he is a very high concern prisoner because of the charges he's facing. but, you know, it's like something out of a movie almost, isn't it, the prison break or something clinging to the underside of a delivery vehicle? i mean, one of my view is steve, he's got in touch, says michelle. >> i was a prison officer for 30 years. he said he's going to give a bit of insight into give me a bit of insight into how it all works. he said when a food arrives in prison, food vehicle arrives in prison, it including the it searches, including the driver. it's escorted to driver. then it's escorted to the kitchen prison the prison kitchen by prison staff. whilst being staff. and whilst being unloaded, of staff is unloaded, the member of staff is responsible of responsible for the security of said before vehicle said vehicle before the vehicle leaves the kitchen secured area. the kitchen are then the kitchen staff are then responsible a roll check responsible for a roll check of the prison prisoners he the prison kitchen. prisoners he says this is a diabolical lack of professionalism and security. i've got to tell you, steve,

there'll be people certainly panicking today about whether or not they've done their jobs properly. i'm enough to properly. see, i'm old enough to remember , although i look 21. remember, although i look 21. >> you do not look it. >> you do not look it. >> i know i'm old enough to remember of raoul remember the manhunt of raoul moat do remember that? i do moat. do you remember that? i do that the most quite that was one of the most quite recent know. what did you think i was about to say? i'm old enough to remember the 19 1840 john stonehouse case. >> i the these these news stories, they have. the trouble is that they have a certain glamour to them. but these are serious matters. and there is a danger that we as journalists can sometimes glamorise the people involved. but . the viewer people involved. but. the viewer who is saying that, who was making very important points about the security checks and the procedures , has the normal procedures, has everything done that would everything been done that would normally be done? it were normally be done? and if it were not done, why not? >> obviously, the answer not done, why not? >>that obviously, the answer not done, why not? >>that inobviously, the answer not done, why not? >>that in part�*usly, the answer not done, why not? >>that in part atly, the answer not done, why not? >>that in part at least, answer not done, why not? >>that in part at least, muster to that in part at least, must be no , because if you're doing be no, because if you're doing your call, you must realise your roll call, you must realise if prison officer is if that prison officer is telling your checks, telling me you do your checks, have got all your staff have you got all of your staff appointed allocated for appointed for and allocated for before the van leaves? clearly

the answer that. this is the answer to that. if this is the answer to that. if this is the escape route chosen is obviously no. >> the answer is no, >> well, if the answer is no, then what was the reason for that? with that? and was it to do with sloppiness? was it to do with cuts? it with cuts? was it to do with complicity? see. >> well, you say cuts. i give you about five minutes before rishi indeed for rishi sunak is indeed blamed for this one. he's not been this one. if he's not been already. the real that already. but the real thing that i he didn't i referenced, 2010, he didn't escape prison, obviously, escape from prison, obviously, but he did go on hunt on the but he did go on the hunt on the run. it lasted about two days and it was two quentin's point glamorous up doing it glamorous itv ended up doing it like dramatisation of that like a dramatisation of that awful . so i do think as awful scenario. so i do think as like the public psyche, we do seem to be kind of quite gripped to notions of manhunts and to the notions of manhunts and all the rest of it. >> yeah, because these days >> yeah, it's because these days the and entertainment have the news and entertainment have got some kind of crossover. so people sometimes , you people watching sometimes, you know, don't see the difference between two if it's been between the two if it's been presented in a certain way. obviously this case, with obviously with this case, with raoul it was you know, it raoul moat, it was you know, it seemed like something out of a movie. you have things in books and stories all the time. so when happens in reality,

when it happens in reality, people relate that to people just relate that to a story . story. >> and the weirdest thing and then if anyone was following that , that live the real thing, that, that live the real thing, do you remember the gascoigne, the , the fishing rod, the fishing, the fishing rod, the fishing, the fishing rod, the chickens, the dressing gowns? i will never forget any of that. it was all very odd. anyway, look, that is the story of what we know so far of that prisoner. that is escaped from wandsworth prison. we are across that story in details of anything evolves, anything changes it. you will be the first know. but look after first to know. but look after the break, we've got a packed agenda. i want to talk to you about politics in country. about politics in this country. so is and i am so much is broken and i am blaming a lot it on short blaming a lot of it on short termism , sticking plaster termism, sticking plaster politics, whatever we want to call it. if you agree with me, how do we fix that? you tell me

>> your listening to gb news radio . radio. >> hello there, i'm michelle dewberry keeping you company until 7:00 tonight alongside me, quentin letts and david kurten

remain . you guys are getting in remain. you guys are getting in touch. remain. you guys are getting in touch . know it's eye opening touch. know it's eye opening stuff. you're telling me about the prison protocols . russell the prison protocols. russell has just been in touch. one of my previous viewers was explaining how works about explaining how it works about the kitchen trucks, delivery trucks leaving. he says , trucks leaving. he says, michelle, you missed a bit. trucks leaving. he says, michelle, you missed a bit . the michelle, you missed a bit. the vehicle, the kitchen vehicle is also searched before leaving the prison. it's searched in its entirety , so who knows what's entirety, so who knows what's gone on? i'm sure that all the details will come out in time. if you're just tuned in, you're wondering what on earth i'm talking about. i'm talking about the fact that we've had a prisoner escaping from wandsworth morning. wandsworth prison this morning. we'll details on we'll have all the details on that manhunt as it happens. but politicians, talk to politicians, i want to talk to you about them, i may, you about them, if i may, because we've problems now because we've got problems now all place. the latest all over the place. the latest scandal is, of course, the concrete scenario. know within schools, finger schools, lots of finger pointing, lots of whose fault is it? of why can i not get it? lots of why can i not get credit for doing a bleeping good job from education secretaries and the like? it got me thinking, quentin, because so

many aspects of politics in this day and age, i feel that there's way too much focus on how do the politicians get themselves re—elected to short term thinking and not enough long term strategic thinking and planning , term strategic thinking and planning, not just on term strategic thinking and planning , not just on concrete, planning, not just on concrete, but you can have it right across the nhs . i will blame this on the nhs. i will blame this on that as well. some of our energy suppues that as well. some of our energy supplies failings there. nick clegg of course, i've got a clip of him. at some point, nick clegg gosh. nick clegg yeah, who was he? well, yeah. i mean, we've had we've had quite a few goings since haven't goings on since then, haven't we, i remember him. we, sir nicholas i remember him. >> he's making a balls up of facebook now. >> in fact, you that clip >> in fact, i show you that clip actually before i before bring actually before i before i bring quentin in, i've got his clip. >> nick clegg. >> sir nick clegg. >> sir nick clegg. >> let's a look. >> yes. let's have a look. >>— >> yes. let's have a look. >> you're concerned about >> you're not concerned about your scenarios from your optimistic scenarios from the government itself? >> way they're going >> there is no way they're going to have nuclear come on to have new nuclear come on stream until about 2021, 2022. to have new nuclear come on str> that's clegg how do we miss him? i think you're wrong, actually, on this, michelle. i do think you're wrong because

the implication of what you're saying, short termism is a bad thing. the implication of that is you want to have longer terms of office and i'm not sure that that would go down very well. i think five years. that's not that's. no, that's not such a good idea, it? and also, we good idea, is it? and also, we do a long term government do have a long term government in it's called the in this country. it's called the civil and the permanent civil service and the permanent secretary in any department will be the civil servant. and that's why you have the civil servants in way, because they meant in a way, because they are meant to institutional memory. to be the institutional memory. they're meant to people they're meant to be the people who accountable as well as who are accountable as well as the politicians. however, it doesn't quite work like that because the civil servants tend to also they to move on a bit and also they tend to not get blamed very much. but the servants, much. but the civil servants, when on a beach or when they're not on a beach or wherever it is that they are, they are, they're enactors. >> are not the deciding. >> they are not the deciding. they're strategic kind they're not the strategic kind of orientations what we're of orientations of what we're trying and you. trying to achieve. and you. >> they actually. >> yeah, they are actually. >> yeah, they are actually. >> are to a point and >> they are up to a point and actually they're behind actually they're probably behind the than the scenes more powerful than you other villains in you think. the other villains in this michelle, ones this piece, michelle, the ones who've it so far who've got away with it so far are the architects. that's and

you know, the modern architects, the concrete ones, the modernist, modernist modernist, the modernist architecture all architecture movement is all gang gang busters about gang goes big gang busters about anything that's new, newfangled is great. the trouble with new fangled is it hasn't been tested and therefore they're always pushing onto us. new building techniques which lo and behold, then a few years later turn out to be no good and the great bias among the commentariat is against it. for instance, victorian school buildings, victorian school buildings, victorian school buildings are still standing. they're a lot better than those that were put up in the 70s and 80s and 90s. well let me bring you in, david, your thoughts. >> yeah, absolutely. i do agree with you on that. on the older buildings, the victorian buildings, the victorian buildings, georgian buildings and built and so on are built fantastically magnificently and so on are built fant theyilly magnificently and so on are built fantthey have magnificently and so on are built fant they have suchagnificently and so on are built fant they have such a nificently and so on are built fant they have such a humanity and they have such a humanity about them they're about them and they're far better these things that better than these things that were thrown up in the 50s and 60s, 70s, 80s with term 60s, 70s, 80s with short term planning . so there was no long planning. so there was no long term planning there because these buildings, understand these buildings, as i understand , only have 30 year life cycles

anyway. they're meant to last for 30 years and then that's it. so the whole buildings, i think this element of this building component, that is what component, i think that is what is now understood about a 30 year life span. >> yeah, but but also these buildings often put up by buildings were often put up by the architects with very the architects with a very political agenda driven by a sort of architectural marxism , sort of architectural marxism, which is, lo and behold, it's turning out not to be such a great thing. >> well, aren't we all surprised? >> well, you see, that is the long termism. there is long termism, but a lot of it is to adhere to marxist principles, if you like. there there's no thinking about the long term. you know, durability of the buildings. people are buildings. but people are actually progressing with a marxist agenda, a cultural marxist agenda, a cultural marxist the united marxist agenda. the united nafions marxist agenda. the united nations 17 sustainable development goals, the paris climate agreement, net zero, all of those things which all of the main political parties in westminster are signed up to for the long term. i completely disagree with that. >> you concluded me wrong, by the way, because what you concluded saying much concluded, i'm saying too much short termism is a bad thing.

and you said therefore , what you and you said therefore, what you think suggesting is longer think i'm suggesting is longer term governance. that's not what i'm would i'm suggesting. what i would suggest we need suggest is perhaps we need to look a where we take we look at a model where we take we strip out some of the crucial components within our society. i don't know. let's say social care or elements of the nhs or even the nhs in its entirety, if you like, and you then have cross—party working for a long term strategy . dodi and that is term strategy. dodi and that is the strategy that whoever the government of the day is elected to enact this longer to be, they enact this longer term as mutually agreed. >> you do actually get quite a lot of cross—party work in parliament, but the idea that things such as social policy and education policy would never be political is i don't think that's realistic and you'll get ministers coming in because ministers coming in because ministers will define themselves and they will sell and they they will sell themselves as political creatures. and actually the electorate wants that. and that's what we quiver to. that's what gets our hindquarters moving. >> i wouldn't want that either. i wouldn't want every single party to be signed up to an

agenda behind the scenes , which agenda behind the scenes, which is going to enacted without is going to be enacted without anybody having say at the anybody having a say at the ballot about what's going on. >> matt says. there is a long term strategy. michelle and it's all about a long term strategy for managing our decline. and you saying hats off to you were saying hats off to them. they are doing a superb job that happen . job of making that happen. >> it's a success story. it's not it's not optimistic is our matt, i don't think cheer up on some of that. >> jenny says we need ten year parliaments so that the civil service know what the policy is. that basically it will all come to fruition and we will have results within the same parliament. ten years? >> no, absolutely not. the civil service are supposed to do what the government tells them to do. the government needs to be elected and they need to be elected and they need to be elected regularly. so that if they go wrong, people have a chance to get rid of them. a ten year parliament will mean we still years of still have four years to go of theresa may being prime minister. >> well, chris says michelle, you've read our minds. my hubby and i were talking about this

just other day they've just the other day and they've come with a they've come up with a plan. they've seen step me. seen it one step beyond me. they're saying energy security, nhs defence, taxation. that should all be taken out of the government of the day. cross—party as i was suggesting. but they do confess that left them with a question, which is if did that, what on earth if you did that, what on earth would government then take control would government then take conand i don't think the voters >> and i don't think the voters want that. voters want to want that. the voters want to have a say, a regular say on matters such as social policy and and hospitals. they and school and hospitals. they want to have a say . want to have a say. >> the trouble is now you've got four parties that are essentially doing same essentially doing the same thing. well, that's what thing. yeah, well, that's what areas that may because they areas that may be because they think the public is. >> i mean, is.— >> i mean, i'm sure it is. >> i mean, i'm sure it may be difference, maybe just failure difference, maybe just a failure by political elite. by the political elite. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you say you say that your >> and you say you say that your four parties are trying four main parties are trying to make difference, but you're make a difference, but you're trying to do something different. the first past different. but on the first past the reality whether the post, the reality is whether it's, fortunate or it's, you know, fortunate or not, have different views not, people have different views on system. whilst we've on our system. but whilst we've got the post, it's got first past the post, it's very for new party very difficult for a new party to actually cut through, isn't it? >> it is difficult, you know,

but to make the but we've got to make the challenge. we've got to keep going and try to make a change. >> you agree that? do >> do you agree with that? do you do you vote for? who you who do you vote for? who would you vote for next would you vote for in the next election? it is a small election? and if it is a small kind up and coming party, do kind of up and coming party, do you put your cross in the box thinking, yeah. do you know what? is a reality? perhaps what? this is a reality? perhaps this is has realistic this is has a real realistic chance into fruition this is has a real realistic ch do e into fruition this is has a real realistic ch do you into fruition this is has a real realistic ch do you just into fruition this is has a real realistic ch do you just sit into fruition this is has a real realistic ch do you just sit thereo fruition this is has a real realistic ch do you just sit there andiition or do you just sit there and think there's just no point at all? it's either going to be labour or tory, as is a system that not a lot of love that we have not a lot of love coming through. have to say, coming through. i have to say, for civil servants . are you out for civil servants. are you out there? are there any civil servants watching this? are you watching the conversation and saying stop, always kicking us, let's celebrate us? do you sit there echoing perhaps there saying, echoing perhaps there saying, echoing perhaps the gillian keegan's of the land, saying you're always land, saying that you're always kicked of being kicked instead of being supported when you think you're doing a good job, get in touch. i'd fascinated to hear from i'd be fascinated to hear from you lots coming up. want you lots coming up. i want to talk about dangerous talk to you about dangerous dogs, not they should talk to you about dangerous dogbanned not they should talk to you about dangerous dogbanned in not they should talk to you about dangerous dogbanned in some>t they should talk to you about dangerous dogbanned in some cases. should talk to you about dangerous dogbanned in some cases. royald be banned in some cases. royal mail, be forced to mail, should they be forced to keep saturday deliveries?

keep their saturday deliveries? one of my viewers has said saturday deliveries, get saturday deliveries, we only get three deliveries a week as it is. tell me your thoughts

radio. >> hi there. michelle dewberry till 7:00. the leader of the heritage party, david caton, and the journalist quentin letts alongside me, lots of the ladies are liking you, quentin. tonight >> that's very sweet of them. >> that's very sweet of them. >> they are. cathy lindsay, just to name two. i've had a lot of nice feedback. >> lindsay might be a bloke. >> lindsay might be a bloke. >> oh, yes, that is a very good point. well cathy might be as well. who knows in this day. and age, i shouldn't be so presumptuous, should i? martin says. completely presumptuous, should i? martin says. with completely presumptuous, should i? martin says. with aboutpletely presumptuous, should i? martin says. with about shorty agree with you about short termism. a solution as termism. he's got a solution as well. he says we need a 25 year plan for country, a vision plan for the country, a vision that signs up all that everybody signs up to all the population and the the population and all the political parties, and then each elected government would be responsible the deliverables responsible for the deliverables that within their five year that fall within their five year window that is that the

solution? quentin is not having any of that. >> it sounds like albania and communist 25 year plans. >> enver hodja martin, i don't think he agrees with you. statues of sir keir starmer in the central square. royal mail. >> should they be forced to keep saturday deliveries? apparently now they're trying to look at scrapping them. if they do scrap them, they reckon it could save them. about £225 million. as i was going to ask, what about us customers? but actually so my views are getting in touch with me saying that saturday me already saying that saturday delivery a delivery channels would be a fine thing. they've had fine thing. they've not had them for some time. one of my for quite some time. one of my viewers that they get three viewers says that they get three deliveries a week. didn't deliveries a week. you didn't tell you live, though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo you live, though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get you live, though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get in you live, though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get in touch..ive, though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get in touch. let though. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get in touch. let me»ugh. deliveries a week. you didn't teldo get in touch. let me know so do get in touch. let me know where are opposed to where you are as opposed to everyone supposed to have six everyone is supposed to have six deliveries a week. >> this is part of their obligation. >> if anyone's written to you. obligation. >> yes. lyone's written to you. obligation. >> yes. yeah.s written to you. obligation. >> no. yeah.s written to you. obligation. >> no. yeah, 5 written to you. obligation. >> no. yeah, youitten to you. obligation. >> no. yeah, you might) you. obligation. >> no. yeah, you might be>u. mainly. >> yeah. but they are, you know, important and correspondence. but i don't get letters much anymore. personal anymore. like from personal letters. get emails. letters. i usually get emails. they that way. but they come through that way. but yeah, obviously that

yeah, obviously i think that they should to keep they should be made to keep saturday deliveries. i mean, they in a bit of a mess. they are in a bit of a mess. well, always had it and well, we've always had it and we're desperate receive on we're desperate to receive on a saturday that can't wait we're desperate to receive on a satimondayat can't wait we're desperate to receive on a satimonday for. can't wait we're desperate to receive on a satimonday for. i'man't wait we're desperate to receive on a satimonday for. i'm not wait till monday for. i'm not desperate receive anything, desperate to receive anything, but i think something that but i think it's something that we've had . i think it's we've always had. i think it's a service we've had and it's service that we've had and it's a we keep. a service that we should keep. and there's other ways that they a service that we should keep. and gozre's other ways that they a service that we should keep. and go aboutther ways that they a service that we should keep. and go about it. r ways that they a service that we should keep. and go about it. rectifyingt they can go about it. rectifying their financial situation. actually, they're putting the price of a first class stamp up by £0.15 on the 2nd of october from £1.10 to £1.25. if they're doing that, that would give them enough money to get out of the black hole they're in straight away. so why do they need to reduce saturday services as well ? >> 7- >> the ? >> the managers of 7 >> the managers of royal mail are oceangoing ing clunkers. they are really useless if you are if you're if your customers think you're not doing a very good you don't reduce the good job, you don't reduce the service, increase it. they service, you increase it. they shouldn't be scrapping saturday deliveries they should deliveries. they should be introducing deliveries . introducing sunday deliveries. they should be leaning into this and saying, we're going to make things better. want things much better. people want to modern day and to have in this modern day and age, they want to have parcels

delivered a week and delivered seven days a week and therefore, this is a time therefore, it's this is a time to ramp it up and the postage of this country are generally pretty brilliant . the problem is pretty brilliant. the problem is not with them . it's to do with not with them. it's to do with the managers, some of whom are paid too much. but also there's just a lack of imagination. and the inability of royal mail, which fantastic privileged which has a fantastic privileged position in the delivery world, the inability of that company to take on the private delivery companies is one of the worst failures of business. >> but i think what they'd look to do is stop the saturday letter delivery and then perhaps look to scale up their parcel deliveries , make the parcel deliveries, make the parcel things seven day a week, cut back the letter deliveries, because at the end of the day, what letter do you desperately need nhs appointments, need your nhs appointments, things like that ? no, but you things like that? no, but you don't need that on a saturday. >> well, you might do. and surgeries should be working seven week i mean, seven days a week too. i mean, society is now a seven day a week operation only in parts of scotland. i think stornoway perhaps you have sunday

perhaps do you have sunday closed down and you've got to really be reflecting the realities of the world if you're going to run a successful business or people can just stop writing to you. >> why does the nhs need to write? you a letter on a bit of paper? they'll probably have your mobile telephone number. why just send you why can't they just send you a text say, this your text and say, this is your appointment have appointment date? they have a lot elderly people are lot of elderly people who are not thus equipped. but. but you're that elderly you're assuming that elderly people messages people can't read text messages or phones . or don't have mobile phones. >> that there is still a >> i think that there is still a problem. you've got to ensure communication and equity of communication. >> can because >> well, you can ask because i get letters and they drive get nhs letters and they drive me insane. i don't want them send me a text. so why don't you ask customer, patient to ask the customer, the patient to opt yeah, sure. opt in? yeah, sure. >> you want how do you do that? >> yeah, by all means. but also if you're delivering, if you're delivering parcels, what's so difficult putting letter difficult about putting a letter in with it? >> no, they do. they often >> no, they do. no, they often do they often do it do it. they often do it separately. i do want to give a quick shout before go to quick shout out before i go to the to my mom's the weather, though, to my mom's postman in hessle is absolutely awesome. a £10 tip

awesome. i gave him a £10 tip the other day because he delivered to mum letter delivered to my mum a letter that put completely that i'd put the completely wrong address on. some of our wrong address on. so some of our purses, worth purses, they are worth their russell in gold, russell in herefordshire as well. russell russell. brilliant anyone you want out to you personally? >> yeah, my postman. thank you for delivering my mail all the time. well six days a week. >> are you that got in >> and who are you that got in touch with me? who is that viewer you only get viewer that told me you only get three per week? want to know three per week? i want to know where you live in this where do you live in this country? and speaking of the country, it is a scorcher up and down at the moment, isn't it? let's at weather. >> that warm feeling inside >> oh, that warm feeling inside from boilers. proud from boxt boilers. proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello again. it's aiden macgibbon here from the met office with the gb news forecast. a warm, sultry night to come. for many of us, more hot sunshine on into thursday, a small chance of thunderstorms developing wing towards western and southwestern areas in particular as low pressure centre adds heat and humidity northwards across the uk. now

any thunderstorms that do develop will be very hit and miss, quite isolated , mostly miss, quite isolated, mostly towards western areas overnight . but there is the chance that these thunderstorms will contain frequent flashes of lightning. so they could be quite visible in the night sky where they do occur. cloud creeping occur. some low cloud creeping into east. it's a warm night into the east. it's a warm night for many mid to high teens and in places no colder than 20 in some places no colder than 20 or 21 celsius. so some patchy fog about first thing thursday , fog about first thing thursday, some of this misty low cloud in the east, but that will tend to retreat to north sea coasts . and retreat to north sea coasts. and for many it's a fine day, but we've still got that potential thundery activity moving north into northern ireland and parts of scotland. by the afternoon. and it's very warm or hot day and it's a very warm or hot day in places 29 to 32 celsius in the south, 28 celsius for northern scotland . so the heat northern scotland. so the heat is extensive across the uk and it's a warm start to friday. again, some of that misty low cloud in the east. again the threat of thundery showers towards the west and southwest, but otherwise it's just a case

garden. don't think that's too garden. i don't think that's too suspicious . suspicious. >> that's a christmas one. >> that's a christmas one. >> but they always used to be said that the most popular magazine or publication at wormwood scrubs was country life because had tremendous because it had tremendous spreads of big posh country houses and you could see all the valuables on display listed, even, you know , that work by even, you know, that work by matisse in the drawing room. and so fingers always used to read that and then go and nick it. it's the same principle. >> well, you don't even need that magazine these days because what a of people do and let what a lot of people do and let me just clear, by the way, i me just be clear, by the way, i don't burgling don't condone anyone burgling anybody's one anybody's property. it is one of, if you ask me, one of the worst crimes that you can commit to somebody into to somebody going into somebody's and thinking somebody's home and thinking that the that somehow you've got the right through their right to rifle through their possessions, turns my possessions, it it turns my stomach. it makes my skin crawl. but there are some people out there who cannot help themselves. but boast about their possessions, their material wealth all over instagram and social media. and then i don't know if they're

just dopey or what, because after boasting about their rolexes and this and that and the they then five the other, they then five minutes later they are minutes later post that they are on yeah which is i on holiday. yeah which is i don't want you to get broken into obviously but don't you put two and two together. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean it shouldn't be that way but that's the way life is. there are some bad people who will take advantage of you if you let them take advantage of you. i mean, it's like, you know, you're in the pub, you know, if you're in the pub, you leave wallet on the table leave your wallet on the table and toilet. you and then go to the toilet. you come your wallet is going come back, your wallet is going to be gone. so the answer is, don't leave your the don't leave your wallet on the table. a similar thing. you table. it's a similar thing. you know, the way know, it's just the way the world is. i put on social world is. so if i put on social media, if i put a picture of my wife's knickknacks, then they might get stolen. >> idea think that i >> i think idea i think that i call what i call knickknacks might be slightly different to what a knickknacks. what you call a knickknacks. >> you put picture of >> and if you put a picture of your knickknacks on what? your wife's knickknacks on what? i you mean knickknacks. i think you mean knickknacks. >> i don't >> i mean knickknacks. i don't mean i don't mean anything else. i don't mean anything vulgar trouble, archie. clean. michelle out of clean. michelle staying out of this to talk to you

not hello there, dewbs & co with me. hello there, dewbs& co with me. michelle dewberry tl7, leader of the heritage party. david curtain, and the journalist quentin letts keep me company. just break, we were just before the break, we were talking about royal mail and about saturday deliveries. frank got in touch, saying his son has to purse from the to pick up his purse from the sorting yards sorting office. 400 yards away. i for further details and i asked for further details and dear readers and listeners, i'm pleased to tell you i've got them what he's saying is them because what he's saying is his son dunstable, apparently his son in dunstable, apparently the postman has been taken off for cover for another round. so he his son has to now go he reckons his son has to now go and collect his purse. he says he doesn't get a refund on he doesn't even get a refund on whoever it is that's paid for. the stamps to send that purse to him. linda not happy with me. him. linda is not happy with me. i was suggesting perhaps i was suggesting that perhaps the send text messages i was suggesting that perhaps the appointments nd text messages i was suggesting that perhaps the appointments instead �*nessages i was suggesting that perhaps the appointments instead of ssages for appointments instead of letters. mother letters. she says her mother cannot text messages cannot read. text messages and doesn't attitude

doesn't appreciate my attitude and but quentin pointed that out so i compromised said, well, so i compromised and said, well, actually you could send letters to those that want and need them and other people the text and offer other people the text messages and just messages as a solution. and just before the break, we were talking about quentin's wife's knick . meant something knick knacks. it meant something very to me. it meant very different to me. it meant a form of underwear. very different to me. it meant a form of underwear . and david form of underwear. and david curtain chucked his £0.10 in in the break told me that knick the break and told me that knick knacks for him are a brand of crisps. there you i'll crisps. so there you go. i'll let you decide which definition you closely align with. but i want to talk to you about dangerous dogs. xl dangerous dogs. the xl bully that been responsible dangerous dogs. the xl bully thaa been responsible dangerous dogs. the xl bully thaa spate been responsible dangerous dogs. the xl bully thaa spate of)een responsible dangerous dogs. the xl bully thaa spate of attacks ponsible dangerous dogs. the xl bully thaa spate of attacks and ible for a spate of attacks and fatalities over the past few years. just a bit of context here. this particular dog was imported they're imported from america. they're absolutely huge and incredibly strong. i've got to say. i personally find them quite scary looking. i would probably i must confess, cross the road if i saw one coming towards me. there have been calls now that that breed should be banned. david, where are you? >> a difficult one because, >> it's a difficult one because, you know concern is that this you know my concern is that this breed of dog is going to kill

more people because apparently ten people died in attacks ten people have died in attacks by of dog . but you by this breed of dog. but you have to look into it and say, is it the owners at fault in all of those cases or is it the breed itself ? so i think we need to itself? so i think we need to look into this much more to ascertain if it is the dog or if the dog can be safe, if they have good owners or were the owners bad and badly trained and didn't have a grip on the dog in the cases where there were these, you know, terrible incidents, it's a terrible name for a dog, isn't it? >> xl bully? it's obviously it says it says a lot about the attitude of the owners, but it is the owners always in this who are responsible rather the are responsible rather than the poor mutt. i'm against bans. >> is it always i >> is it is it always the. i think just have fighting in them. >> well, some some are better at fighting than others. but i think the sort of case we're talking about here is the adoption of a dog as some sort of street statement. now i've got a patterdale terrier , got a patterdale terrier, patterdale is a notoriously

badly behaved and she's a little thing. she looks like a jack russell, a slightly bigger not much , not much bigger than a much, not much bigger than a jack russell. bonny she's now 12. she's a terrible ankle biter and she tends to bark at men with with beards and she feared this . this. >> she warned she won't go anywhere near. >> she has been in trouble with the authorities over this. and the authorities over this. and the police came out from hereford once to give bonnie a caution and they turned up and she rolled over on her back and showed them tummy. and it showed them her tummy. and it was sort of that was somehow encapsulated the absurdity. was sort of that was somehow encitysulated the absurdity. was sort of that was somehow enc it didn'td the absurdity. was sort of that was somehow enc it didn'td the icome ity. was sort of that was somehow enc it didn'td the icome out. >> it didn't really come out. >> it didn't really come out. >> did you get them out for >> they did you get them out for that. you won't get them out for a serious crime. >> somebody had complained, so i'm dog bit i'm guessing so your dog bit someone complain. someone and they complain. >> was sort of lib >> yeah, he was some sort of lib dem rambler he took against dem rambler and he took against bonnie took his bonnie and she took against his his left i think. >> right. >> right. >> so what was the end of that story? i need to know. >> well, we were issued with a verbal warning. right. should it happen then it would be no happen again then it would be no bonior's a week.

right? >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> it was going to be i mean, we were going to be in trouble. we were going to be in trouble. we were be in legal were going to be in legal trouble. i mean, the i am trouble. but i mean, the i am personally against bans and i think bans are often counterproductive. and you talked about you xl talked about if you saw an xl bully coming street, bully coming down the street, you cross the street. well you would cross the street. well thatis you would cross the street. well that is the way to do it. and social no if social messaging is no good if i cross the street and the thing chases me attacks me chases after me and attacks me anyway. i think social anyway. but i think social stigma is the do this stigma is the way to do this rather than legislation. >> there are some >> i think there are some species of dogs that are banned already dogs already under the dangerous dogs act, i think act, aren't they? i think there's species are there's ten species that are banned country. banned in this country. >> that's me is enough. >> that's to me is enough. >> that's to me is enough. >> banning editor yeah, but this one, you know, again, i think it needs to be looked into a little bit more. but there's across the board. i mean there's a real problem. >> well, let's cross very >> well, let's just cross very briefly. webb dog briefly. anna webb is a dog behaviourist. you keep me company good evening to company now. good evening to you. what do think to this? you. what do you think to this? there's i'm hearing the argument here dog. it there's i'm hearing the argument hethe dog. it there's i'm hearing the argument hethe owner. dog. it there's i'm hearing the argument hethe owner. is dog. it there's i'm hearing the argument hethe owner. is that dog. it there's i'm hearing the argument hethe owner. is that right?it is the owner. is that right? >> yes. good evening, michelle. i agree . think the i would agree. i think the problem is with the xl bully .
