other international laws as well. human rights laws . so he well. human rights laws. so he feels he would prefer to feels like he would prefer to have fine have options. i'm totally fine with like killing him yourself. >> he's being forced into the final solution, as it were, for this . sorry, that was what's this. sorry, that was what's wrong with me tonight. but the. yeah he was being forced into the extreme measure of assassination because if he were to capture them, he immediately is entangled in bureaucratic red tape. >> that's the gist of the article. yeah. which is i mean, it is interesting. there's a lot of discussion isn't there, about the echr, isn't it european court of human rights ? court of human rights? >> his sanction has >> what's his name? sanction has been saying that he's, you know, jonathan sumption, the senior law lord who was quite sceptical about lockdown and so he's about lockdown and so on, he's come against it recently and come out against it recently and he's one of the more reasonable voices. interesting. he's one of the more reasonable voi well, ben wallace says he doesn't , but he doesn't want the echr, but he just more clarity . okay. just wants more clarity. okay. is of saying. and is what he's sort of saying. and that's obviously what they've latched on to probably from a four they've four hour interview. they've whittled down to this one talking well a talking point. well he's a serious wallace. serious chap, ben wallace. >> everyone admired him very

much, was surprised wouldn't much, was surprised he wouldn't stand leader . there's a much, was surprised he wouldn't stand leader. there's a nice stand for leader. there's a nice picture with boat. >> yep, she's got a boat there. i they're going build i think they're going to build a couple think the couple of boats, but i think the other stories are really other two stories are really interesting national other two stories are really intereragency national other two stories are really intereragency noutnal other two stories are really intereragency nout and crime agency has come out and basically some kind basically said we need some kind of policy if we are of rwanda policy if we are going to migrants coming over by to stop migrants coming over by the this is on the eve of the boats. this is on the eve of laboun the boats. this is on the eve of labour. they're going to be finally saying what they would do , which essentially do instead, which is essentially asking more cooperation and asking for more cooperation and stuff. but as a national crime agency it's really it's agency says, it's really it's not just like dealing with one organisation. you know, you pop down one, another one's going to come up need is there, come up the need is there, the desire and if people desire is there and if people feel like and they say the only time ever worked is what time it's ever worked is what australia that's australia did and the that's absolutely true. >> but of course australia has the having a number the benefit of having a number of just moored off, not of islands just moored off, not moored, just off the coast moored, but just off the coast of australia that they can redeliver people to. of australia that they can red it'sar people to. of australia that they can red it's isle people to. of australia that they can red it's isle of people to. of australia that they can red it's isle of wight.e to. of australia that they can red it's isle of wight. to. >> it's isle of wight. >> it's isle of wight. >> it's isle of wight. >> it's possible isn't it, or jersey i, i am interested, as you say, it's obviously labour have had the luxury of just

being able to tut for the last few years, but i do think although there's been an awful lot of news of this kind, you know, the express exclusive that we covered last night and i know nigel has been talking nigel farage has been talking aboutin nigel farage has been talking about in which been exposed about in which it's been exposed and we've paid getting on and that we've paid getting on for £1 billion for absolute nothing. these french. well, nothing. all these french. well, the numbers have gone down. >> they gone down, but >> they have gone down, but they're it seriously. >> they have gone down, but the they're it seriously. >> they have gone down, but the they're not it seriously. >> they have gone down, but the they're not doingeriously. >> they have gone down, but the they're not doingeriouzjob, >> they're not doing their job, you preventing you know, preventing this happening . do you have view on happening. do you have a view on this dennis? this one, dennis? >> someone say today >> i heard someone say today like should send them like we should just send them back to our boats, back to france on our boats, which i thought was if that's just sort of circular trade. just a sort of circular trade. yeah. i think yeah. and then, yeah, i think that's a lot of duty free. that's maybe a lot of duty free. >> could think that's the >> we could think that's the mussels cockles on going out mussels and cockles on going out and think a good idea. >> mean yeah obviously >> i mean yeah obviously something needs to be done. they're coming out, something needs to be done. they're coming out , lots of they're coming out, lots of boats coming over here in droves . i think sending to . i think sending them back to france and then deal with it there, put it back on the there, put it back on on the french see deal french and see how they deal with french and see how they deal witithere's obviously a very >> there's obviously it's a very muddy isn't it? because, muddy area, isn't it? because, you terms of overall you know, in terms of overall numbers, not huge ,

numbers, it might not be huge, but psychological damage but the psychological damage it's at the moment think it's doing at the moment i think is substantial to the is pretty substantial to the people's their island people's sense of their island being you know , it's being inviolate. you know, it's a traditional part of our island persona, isn't it? our we have, you know , alternatively go the you know, alternatively go the leo route and when they arrive here all the people who are welcoming them in them , in welcoming them in them, in their, you know, their nice community lives in the cotswolds, send them there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> there's a decent amount of martha's been yorkers . martha's been yorkers. >> yeah. it's going crazy. but the final store which is tiny which unfortunately don't which unfortunately we don't actually text actually have the full text for because it just came in but it's a want a house, not a a girls want a house, not a husband. so i think it's just it tips over like 52% or something like that of girls say that by 30 they would rather have a house than a husband and i think they've got more luck getting husband. >> yeah. almost things are going now and also as a route to getting a house i would have said still , what have you said but still, what have you got times, darius? said but still, what have you got the times, darius? said but still, what have you got the times1es, darius? said but still, what have you got the times lead)arius? said but still, what have you got the times lead with;? said but still, what have you got the times lead with m15 >> the times lead with m15 warned conservatives that mp

hopefuls could be spies. so two potential candidates dropped out after the intelligence service said they could be chinese aged aunts. so apparently the chinese have been influencing , you know, have been influencing, you know, people entering the conservative concern party. yeah, for the united front works department out so chris cash , 28, who's a out so chris cash, 28, who's a director of an influential group on beijing , co—founded by the on beijing, co—founded by the security minister. he's been, you know, accused of working for the chinese. so he's the one who they weren't allowed to name in they weren't allowed to name in the house yesterday, i think. >> so they weren't there. there's an awful lot of, again, confusion and smoke around this, there's an awful lot of, again, confit;ion and smoke around this, there's an awful lot of, again, confit;ion astartnoke around this, there's an awful lot of, again, confit;ion astartnoifeelound this, there's an awful lot of, again, confit;ion astartnoifeelourif this, but it does start to feel as if it's building up, again, a certain amount of momentum, not an isolated case. >> it's interesting that it's two tory potential tory mps as opposed to labour. now there could well be some labour, but traditionally think traditionally you would think that would align, that the politics would align, although think that.

although maybe they think that. >> it's hard to say though, isn't it? now, mean isn't it? now, whether i mean it isn't it? now, whether i mean it is chinese communist is still the chinese communist party, is that what you mean? they extreme hard they have a sort of extreme hard left think left sympathies, but but i think equally know, is equally it's very, you know, is that left wing enterprise? but also it's like, well, >> but also it's like, well, what do they know that we don't? because saying because everyone else is saying labour so labour are going to get in. so surely. but the money has surely. yes but the money has now become just follow the chinese ring . chinese spy ring. >> i think chinese what it >> i think the chinese what it says the article that says in the article is that they're targeting people just getting into politics. so they're just it's like man city. they're just signing up all the young potential politicians and then and they're flexible and they're naive and they're eager to get ahead. >> they're looking for vulnerable, flexible, naive . vulnerable, flexible, naive. >> hello . >> hello. >> hello. >> we can be bought. >> we can be bought. >> the daily mail. >> the daily mail. >> josh yes. ministers threat to future pensions triple lock. this is the beloved triple lock of anybody over a certain age , of anybody over a certain age, but they've got a funny little tweak. they've they've, they've found a little loophole possibly where they're talking about it because this year it turns out

that the wages is the biggest increase overall . yeah, increase increase overall. yeah, increase increase overall. yeah, increase in but they've they've in wages. but they've they've sort of said wait a minute, if we take away bonuses then we take away the bonuses then actually it goes down from like 8.4 to 7 point tracking city bankers though are they. well i dunno, that just shows how much of they make for the economy. >> but the lock they, >> but the triple lock is they, they, get best of they, they get the best event of whichever whichever one is whichever one, whichever one is the moment. whichever one, whichever one is the it's moment. whichever one, whichever one is the it's wages moment. whichever one, whichever one is the it's wages so oment. whichever one, whichever one is the it's wages so that it. whichever one, whichever one is the it's wages so that would >> it's the wages so that would actually so just if they did that about that pensioners would lose about £74 so, which is . but £74 a month or so, which is. but you up, we're talking you add that up, we're talking billions here, obviously. oh yeah, the yeah, absolutely. it's the largest in largest growing demographic in the it? the country, isn't it? >> still poorly >> yeah. and yet still poorly served for comedy, view. served for comedy, in my view. poorly a comedy, but not poorly serve a comedy, but not necessarily i poorly serve a comedy, but not necessarilyi somewhere 1 in >> i think i read somewhere 1 in 4 being a millionaire. i know this property whatnot. 4 being a millionaire. i know thisthey'veiperty whatnot. 4 being a millionaire. i know thisthey'veipergot whatnot. 4 being a millionaire. i know thisthey've ipergot their1atnot. >> they've all got their own homes. absolutely right. homes. that's absolutely right. but of course is the great but of course that is the great unspeakable, isn't it? at the moment, which might extent to which they might be expected to dip into those daily starred areas to close off daily star, say the secret of success is to never give more than 85.

>> so i always i agree with that. never give the full length . hold back a little bit. yeah, a little surprise. you can always take it to the next level when you find that little bit of extra. >> yeah, a little bit of extra. it interesting it, how it is interesting isn't it, how there kind of. i mean, there is that kind of. i mean, i say it's interesting, but i am aware kind of aware of a certain kind of machismo that goes with, you know, 110. the truth know, always give 110. the truth is cannot always give 110. is you cannot always give 110. and there's nothing more annoying than being in the presence of somebody who's determined to do so in many work environments . environments. >> yeah, but also, i don't think they're the boffins, they're saying the boffins, you know, running know, this is their running joke. but actually i think this i've in like sort of i've read this in like sort of more self—help more like self—help books and stuff is to stuff where the idea is to achieve yeah, achieve the flow. state. yeah, it's not about being like, ah, like that . it's about holding like that. it's about holding back little because that's back a little bit because that's that calm state is that not all jobs have made the flow state, but really fascinating. but it is really fascinating. >> the flow state but it is really fascinating. >:to the flow state but it is really fascinating. >:to be the flow state but it is really fascinating. >:to be doing the flow state but it is really fascinating. >:to be doing something state but it is really fascinating. >:to be doing something that; is to be doing something that you're engaged like totally you're engaged in like totally right , not you're engaged in like totally right, not giving you're engaged in like totally right , not giving 100, but like right, not giving 100, but like focussed on. and that needs to

be something that you believe to be something that you believe to be worthwhile . while that is be worthwhile. while that is testing to the testing your skills to the limit, beyond them , and that limit, not beyond them, and that you're getting immediate feedback about how well feedback from about how well you're doing. >> china again. >> okay. china again. >> okay. china again. >> but i do find i feel we're very lucky because i think stand up is exactly like that. a good gig? you absolutely do enter that state. gig? you absolutely do enter tha you te. gig? you absolutely do enter tha you get that feedback , but >> you get that feedback, but you wouldn't want to do it for eight day anyway. you wouldn't want to do it for eigithat's day anyway. you wouldn't want to do it for eigithat's enough anyway. you wouldn't want to do it for eigithat's enough anythis >> that's enough for this section. live coming up section. we have live coming up after what do we have after the break. what do we have here? filthy rivers . there we here? filthy rivers. there we go. filthy rivers, filthy , go. filthy rivers, filthy, filthy and dental shivers and interesting triumvirate. we'll see you in a couple of minutes.

listening to gb news radio. >> and welcome back to headliners. so we're diving in inside the newspapers now. josh bad news for amazon. if labour get in, they could be up. the world's largest river delta without a paddle . without a paddle. >> well, indeed, labour will

aboush >> well, indeed, labour will abolish anti—strike laws, abolish anti —strike laws, pledges abolish anti—strike laws, pledges . angela rayner so it's pledges. angela rayner so it's like you alluded to about labour actually finally giving some policy. it's like it's in the film braveheart and they're standing there and there's the horses are coming to all this sturdy , sturdy, and now we're sturdy, sturdy, and now we're getting it right. put them up. so this , this is it. now we're so this, this is it. now we're into now that labour are into it. and now that labour are starting to actually stuff , starting to actually say stuff, what of the big what they'll do, one of the big ones, saying, ones, they're saying, and obviously they're saying it while to all the union while speaking to all the union leaders the tuc leaders at the at the tuc conference in liverpool is she's basically saying if, if conference in liverpool is she's basically saying if , if the basically saying if, if the anti—strike laws come in, they'll be wiped out straight away and then also this thing, because amazon used the loophole to stop people, stop them, unionising, which is it is it like uber and delivery? >> are they basically all they're all on sort of zero hours contracts? >> no, it was they brought in a bunch of extra workers to basically vote. so that they couldn't didn't have the numbers to unionise. oh, to be able to unionise. oh, really tricky stuff that. really tricky stuff like that. these companies, i mean, gerrymandering , own gerrymandering, your own workforce, pretty

workforce, that is pretty extreme isn't extreme, isn't it? >> then amazon have that >> but then amazon have got that kind money, i guess. where kind of money, i guess. where do you stand on this? >> yeah , i mean, what >> generous yeah, i mean, what i like that she's given a, like is that she's given a, quote, iron manifesto quote, cast iron manifesto commitment, which means the labour will instantly renege on it . it. >> cast iron means break. >> cast iron means break. >> cast iron means break. >> cast iron means instantly it will be reneged on, you know, when it's a cast iron, when they nick bike. nick my bike. >> don't see why it can't >> so i don't see why it can't be on this. be broken on this. >> yeah, but apparently labour brought in a thousand extra laboun brought in a thousand extra labour, amazon brought in a thousand and thousand extra workers and that's that's what led to that's what, that's what led to them able get the them not being able to get the and stop using them. >> but the interesting thing is also it feels like there's some 4d chess going on just 4d chess going on that i just can't because the fact can't because it feels the fact that the conservatives are bringing policy. that the conservatives are bringing policy . yeah, bringing in this policy. yeah, yeah. and this feels like this would be forcing labour, forcing labour to step forward then would be forcing labour, forcing lab like,) step forward then would be forcing labour, forcing lab like, whop forward then would be forcing labour, forcing lab like, who are rward then would be forcing labour, forcing lab like, who are thed then would be forcing labour, forcing lab like, who are the people 1en it's like, who are the people going are we, you going to side with? are we, you know, doctors and know, we respect doctors and whatnot , but then a lot of whatnot, but then a lot of people inconvenienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health inconvenienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health has inconvenienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health has beenonvenienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health has been ,1venienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health has been , youienced whatnot, but then a lot of pe0|health has been , you know, and health has been, you know, it's a calculation, i guess . it's a calculation, i guess. >> and to be fair, although he

is hindsight , >> and to be fair, although he is hindsight, seen a is now in hindsight, seen as a disaster, quite disaster, corbyn came quite close with making know, close with making a, you know, came close in 2017 with a came quite close in 2017 with a with a manifesto that was clearly aimed at, you know, the workers and didn't care about the possibility of the horizon of striking and so on. different issues raised themselves in 2019. but i think there is potentially the appetite in this country now for a party that is just firmly and squarely behind the lower paid well , also just the lower paid well, also just just to give them some backing anyway. >> but i'd argue that corbyn's 2017 was more about theresa may and brexit and whatnot. >> well, these things are always complicated, but i don't think this will necessarily a shot complicated, but i don't think thithe ll necessarily a shot complicated, but i don't think thithe foot. :essarily a shot complicated, but i don't think thithe foot. having! a shot complicated, but i don't think thithe foot. having saida shot complicated, but i don't think thithe foot. having said that,t in the foot. having said that, liverpool course, mean liverpool, of course, i mean that much home of that is pretty much the home of all of anyway, isn't it? all of that anyway, isn't it? danus all of that anyway, isn't it? darius guardian darius we have the guardian next and talking controversial darius we have the guardian next and 1systems, controversial darius we have the guardian next and 1systems, thetroversial darius we have the guardian next and 1systems, the guardian says river systems, the guardian says ours and our government are full of it. >> yeah, ministers may have broken law over sewage dumping in england. says watchdog. so the office for environmental

protection in have said that we're failing to comply with environmental law and allowing raw sewage to be discharged by water companies more frequently than the law allows. >> so the law basically gives them the right to do this in emergency , but they've just been emergency, but they've just been doing it a yeah, so once the doing it as a yeah, so once the storm overflow , you know, during storm overflow, you know, during storms, they're allowed to do an overflow and they've just been doing it more frequently to discharge raw sewage as and when , when they want with impunity from steve reed labour steve reed nothing represents 13 years of conservative failure more graphically than the sight of stinking toxic sewage pouring into our rivers, lakes and seas . rishi sunak wouldn't want raw sewage in his private swimming pool sewage in his private swimming pool, yet he's happy to let human excrement pollute our waterways. it may not be entirely fair, but it's certainly a powerful image, isn't certainly a powerful image, isn'and everybody gets that >> and everybody gets that private swimming pool there, private swimming pool in there, doesn't private swimming pool in there, doesn"does the time. >> he does all the time. >> he does all the time. >> anything for >> so anything anyway for a water day. and what did he go

into his private swimming pool. >> rishi sunak wouldn't want >> but rishi sunak wouldn't want his swimming pool full junior his swimming pool full of junior doctors , but he's quite happy to doctors, but he's quite happy to see them. yeah and he said, but it's actually a quite an interesting it's a little bit more complicated because, yes, the cut back on the the tories have cut back on the enforcement and the monitoring the tories have cut back on the enfothat'snt and the monitoring the tories have cut back on the enfothat's arguablye monitoring the tories have cut back on the enfothat's arguably why»nitoring the tories have cut back on the enfothat's arguably why thisring happened. >> but problem been >> but this problem has been around since 2012 it was around since 2012 where it was first brought up and first actually brought up and they guilty. the they were found guilty. the water companies this country water companies in this country by eu and then what happened water companies in this country by thezu and then what happened water companies in this country by the whole then what happened water companies in this country by the whole then 'was happened water companies in this country by the whole then 'was that pened was the whole thing was that this group was set up this this new group was set up to replace the eu part of it. but the this is the british version of it. yeah doesn't have the power. so they can't actually say that. so the problem is that the permits are wrong . but also they're saying wrong. but also they're saying that this is why blaming that this is why they're blaming the has been illegal as enforcement has been illegal as well. this is what they're saying. but then the saying. but then again, the eu didn't anything about it when didn't do anything about it when they them in 2012. they found them guilty in 2012. we new guys. they can we got these new guys. they can say whatever they they say whatever they want if they don't powers really , don't have the powers really, it's ultimately come it's going to ultimately come down in government to. >> so i think it is going to become a major election issue , i

become a major election issue, i would imagine. josh the next story is another major election issue. the nhs is both woefully understaffed and the biggest he's ever been. >> yes , exactly. yeah. size of >> yes, exactly. yeah. size of pubuc >> yes, exactly. yeah. size of public sector. that's where these stories it's like they give you the headline, they give you the back. you're reading it, you the back. you're reading it, you times you flip flop about five times dunng you flip flop about five times during but during the reading of it. but yeah, size of public sector biggest in decade the biggest in decade after the nhs and servants spree and civil servants hiring spree increased public sector employment coincides with rising levels of pay. so this is a lot of different things going on in this telegraph article . part of this telegraph article. part of this telegraph article. part of this is, of course because of population increase. yeah. part of this is also because of austerity company. you know, everything was cut back. so this is the overall feeling of the article they cut back to article is that they cut back to the bone and now they're going, wait a minute, we've got to rehire people to deal with asylum claims and to deal with passports and deal with it so passports and to deal with it so that body is being kind that the body is being kind of rebuilt. that the body is being kind of reb but they're saying nhs >> but they're saying the nhs workforce here, says, has workforce here, it says, has ballooned to almost 2 million

employees, up from 1.6 13 years ago now, even allowing for general ease, i don't think that's ballooning . yeah, i that's ballooning. yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if the population the country has population of the country has gone similar of gone up by a similar sort of ratio to that from 1.6 million to nearly 2,000,000 in 13 years. i mean, that's, you know, a lot more people now. >> it feels like a similar rate. but then it's sort of like unemployment's up, but employment's like employment's down, it's like it's these sort of constantly the one thing that the armed forces shrunk about forces have shrunk by about nearly 50,000 in the last . yeah, nearly 50,000 in the last. yeah, ten years. >> that's something we have been taking our foot off that particular pedal for some time. >> well, luckily the nhs has gone up then to cover, to cover for any casualties. still can't get an appointment? no. >> that is the reality on the ground, isn't it? everyone has registered that now that gp's do not offer the same service that they used to. the idea you they used to. the idea that you could appointment in the could make an appointment in the region, have just region, you either have to just hammer phone at 830 every hammer the phone at 830 every morning give on right? morning or give up on it right? >> a.m. morning or give up on it right? >> am. not 830. >> 8 to 8:01 am. not 830. >> 8 to 8:01 am. not 830. >> just tell him i'm six years

listening to gb news radio. >> and welcome back to headliners. so over to the guardian now, darius, for trans leaks , one of the many leaks, one of the many unfortunate really acknowledged side effects. >> well, actually . so this isn't >> well, actually. so this isn't from the guard. this isn't from the guardian. this is actually from times . from the times. >> oh, apologise. >> oh, i apologise. >> oh, i apologise. >> your apology . >> i accept your apology. >> i accept your apology. >> this it's about the guardian. >> this it's about the guardian. >> guardian . the >> it's about the guardian. the guardian leaked the guardian leaked records at the guardian. recording guardian. yeah. leaked recording exposes trans turmoil at the guardian. so in a leaked recording to the american website semaphore heretics , website semaphore heretics, sonia sodha and susan susanna rustin at the at the guardian argued that trans women should be separated from biological women in certain spaces . is so be separated from biological women in certain spaces. is so. so obviously this, this, this can't be this is heresy heresy at the guardian and the sodha, who's the chief lead writer of

the observer, said, i've had she's had attempts to try and get kicked off charitable boards. she's been doxed online by people who disagree with her on this issue. her home address is being published and is being published online. and there's been a of internal there's been a lot of internal kind of like debates, but apparently what's interesting is one former staff member said as long as the guardian bows to guardian us, i don't see much change in. so this is coming from the guardian, us and it's dictating to the guardian are kind of the guardians direction in the uk. so it's all coming from there and it's not surprising because the guardian us is an offshoot of the british paper than the other way paper rather than the other way around. well, that's what i was interested in. break into that market think of market and i think and one of the of the worst, most woeful bits of journalism ever read was in journalism i've ever read was in the written by the guardian was written by guardian us about i don't if you remember the wii spa incident about 3—3 years ago, two, three years where basically years ago where they basically were trying this were like trying to say this black was like a black woman was like a supremacist that this supremacist lying that this incident took place, that her child hadn't been exposed to. >> course, came

>> and then, of course, it came out actually a sex out that actually it was a sex offender who had been in this whole whole. but whole thing and as a whole. but if this article, they if you read this article, they were anyone who were trying to mock anyone who made capital out of it. >> they thought these >> they thought that these people protesters >> they thought that these people fascists protesters >> they thought that these people fascists . protesters were like fascists. >> so if you read that article, i can't believe i actually looked for it recently. found looked for it recently. i found it still. it's looked for it recently. i found it literally still. it's looked for it recently. i found it literally lies. still. it's looked for it recently. i found it literally lies. and.l. it's looked for it recently. i found it literally lies. and if it's looked for it recently. i found it literally lies. and if you like literally lies. and if you knew what was going on, you're like, is was a that. like, this is a this was a that. that was one of the most open. i opening incidents for me and it has been main issue which has been the main issue on which senior journalist suzanne has been the main issue on which seniorjournalist suzanne moore senior journalist suzanne moore it mentions and hadley brilliant writer left and they're not the only they continue to only ones and they continue to have online bouts of furious disagreement with owen jones in particular. >> and so on. it's bringing their reputation far lower than any other. absolutely know. >> and then also they gave a review, five star review to irish singer roshan murphy. rosheen rosheen known as just spell it the right way. anyway, the point is they gave her a five star review but said, oh, it's been marred by her views on sustained, sustained ,

disgraceful. >> i mean, i suppose nice of them to give her the five star review, but but also in the review, but but also in the review that they gave, they gave a lot the credit to the male a lot of the credit to the male producer . producer. >> of this stuff >> yeah. and all of this stuff and loads people >> yeah. and all of this stuff and that loads people >> yeah. and all of this stuff and that found)ads people >> yeah. and all of this stuff and that found all; people >> yeah. and all of this stuff and that found all these sople after that found all these examples reviewing male examples of them reviewing male domestic violence, male rape, whatever it was, and of course not mentioning anything to do with their past. >> it may worked out for >> it may have worked out for rosheen know. seen >> it may have worked out for rosl'kofi know. seen >> it may have worked out for rosheof people know. seen >> it may have worked out for rosheof people online seen >> it may have worked out for rosheof people online sayingen a lot of people online saying that listening to a lot of people online saying thatalbum. listening to a lot of people online saying thatalbum. boughttening to a lot of people online saying thatalbum. boughtteniialbum. the album. i bought the album. great. good stuff. not great. yeah, good stuff. not my kind thing . yeah, i like male kind of thing. yeah, i like male music . josh key stage two music. josh key stage two literacy now and to no one's great surprise , the pandemic, great surprise, the pandemic, like all long holidays, has opened between low and opened the gap between low and middle income kids. >> yes . yeah. oh gosh. but the >> yes. yeah. oh gosh. but the headline, though, is fewer girls met expected stand in the sats reading exam this summer. so there's a few facts going on here. this is was a detailed breakdown of the key stage two sats, which is year six, which is 11 year old, which my son sat. and basically it has gone up a bit, but it's not as good as it was. obviously pandemic

having effect that. also, having an effect on that. also, the gap between people on free school meals and not and but interestingly , the girls haven't interestingly, the girls haven't increased because usually at that level they're still quite an advantage for girls. and that hasn't been so we're still seeing the effects of covid. i personally see from anecdotal, just from my own experience and my son who's now who's now gone into year six, my ten year old, i believe it was that year that was affected because they was worst affected because they the year that they missed at school, two school, which was year two at the time, pivotal the time, was this pivotal embedding learning the embedding year of learning the basics and spelling and whatnot. embedding year of learning the basil; and spelling and whatnot. embedding year of learning the basil thinkspelling and whatnot. embedding year of learning the basil think we're1g and whatnot. embedding year of learning the basil think we're going whatnot. embedding year of learning the basil think we're going wlsee at. and i think we're going to see a big drop next year, even though we're seeing an increase. i think going to be big think there's going to be a big drop year . think there's going to be a big drop year. yeah. do you drop next year. yeah. do you want bet money on it? drop next year. yeah. do you warit's bet money on it? drop next year. yeah. do you warit's just money on it? drop next year. yeah. do you war it's just interesting it? drop next year. yeah. do you warit's just interesting to me >> it's just interesting to me that, you know , girls are that, you know, girls are getting dumber. women are committing more crimes. women are committing more crimes , sex are committing more crimes, sex crimes. these females that go, they're really going off the rails. >> yeah. no, i mean, it is they

octopus are brain food. so there might be something in that. but they're outperforming their white british peers so vicariously also their black, asian and all their other peers, they're doing the top like poor white kids are doing about the worst in the british schools at the moment . the moment. >> but is interesting. i >> but it is interesting. i mean, this kind mean, there's always this kind of, a culture of of, oh, we have a culture of learning and so on. when a when a ethnicity does well a particular ethnicity does well , nobody wants consider the , nobody wants to consider the possibility that it might be something fundamental than possibility that it might be some butg fundamental than possibility that it might be some but there fundamental than possibility that it might be some but there certainly ental than possibility that it might be somebut there certainly does than that. but there certainly does seem to be something to be learnt. who learnt. malcolm gladwell, who i know are kind know his books, are kind of like, looked at some like, you know, looked at some askance, but them askance, but i find them enjoyable . points in enjoyable. he points out that in east asia they do not have eight weeks of summer holiday. east asia they do not have eight weeks of summer holiday . they weeks of summer holiday. they never had because you have never have had because you have three rice a you three rice harvests a year. you don't have this kind of huge, ridiculous , 19th century ridiculous, 19th century artefact . it still squatting in artefact. it still squatting in the middle of the year and they expect them to work hard throughout the year. and that has developed a culture which has developed a culture which has . they have all has elevated. they have all sorts other slightly less sorts of other slightly less desirable things confucian desirable things like confucian , an aspiration to the civil

service and so on. possibly. but you know, there's something to be that. you know, there's something to be i that. you know, there's something to be i think that. you know, there's something to be i think it'st. culture thing >> i think it's a culture thing and fact that the and i mean, the fact that the chinese kids of chinese ethnicity on free school meals are doing better than the national average just shows you that, you know, it's about family. it's about focus, it's about immigration. immigrants coming to this country and going for it, centring education as the as the ladder. >> absolutely guardian now josh a huge data dump of the political views of young adults worldwide have you found any cherries in this? i couldn't see any. >> again it just goes back and forth. there's a there's a few very strange overlaps of like , very strange overlaps of like, okay, so younger people more likely to doubt the merits of democracy . this is likely to doubt the merits of democracy. this is a global poll by the open society foundations , a lot of conspiracy theorists. it's sora. sora. sora. sora they would sort of go, but essentially it's. it's there's a few things that sort of undermine each other. but one is 86% of respondents prefer to live in a democratic state, but

only 20% believe that authoritarian regimes are more capable of delivering what citizens want. so there's a weird sort of 6% there who are a little bit confused. >> some of them seem to be quite keen on military dictatorships , keen on military dictatorships, which is unsurprising. but i mean, i guess there's a certain amount of glamour attached to those i don't know. >> and younger which >> and the younger people, which they're sort of saying it's because lost because they've basically lost hope in the system. yeah, essentially one essentially just wish that one person take of person would just take care of them what to do. them and tell them what to do. >> is of brazil >> the glory is of brazil were under dictatorship under a military dictatorship footballing wise, i think footballing wise, i think footballing overlook that yeah . footballing overlook that yeah. what are your views, darius ? what are your views, darius? you're a young person 35% for a strong leader who did not hold elections or consult parliament was a good way to run a country. >> yeah , 10% less democracy. >> yeah, 10% less democracy. >> yeah, 10% less democracy. >> lee kuan yew singapore. >> lee kuan yew singapore. >> i don't know. funded by billionaire philanthropist george so there's george soros. so there's actually something the open society is a decent organisation in principle. >> it's based it's named after karl popper's book. >> yeah. well, yeah , but >> yeah. well, yeah, but anybody. yeah. if some people
