2:06 am
victims? and no, because they're a bunch of hypocrites and they disgust me anyway. that's my impartial view. disgust me anyway. that's my impartial view . and it's just impartial view. and it's just it's just it's crazy to see when you when you we've heard about these these kidnap victims and to see start seeing photos of them appear. now >> and these are british citizens it's disgusting. anyway that's my take on that . that's my take on that. >> what would you have to say about that, liam? >> yeah, i mean, it's obviously tragic and terrible and shows the ties that we've got with with israel and other countries across europe and across the west have got, you know, missing people as well. >> there's another story there. two dead in brussels as a gunman goes rampage. this is, goes on the rampage. this is, you partly of you know, partly the sort of back backlash from from that there was the global day of jihad, which was a bit of a damp squib, not to, you know , squib, not to, you know, denigrate global jihad or anything. no. from me next well to be fair, they had very little notice. did they? but yeah, i mean , the it's interesting that
2:07 am
mean, the it's interesting that term backlash. you don't need much notice to know. i mean it's rampages . it's not like they rampages. it's not like they orchestrate planes going into buildings anymore. they just drive a prius on a pavement or that with a kitchen that is true with a kitchen knife. it's interesting that term backlash isn't it? because one reaches because one reaches for that because there really very useful there isn't really a very useful term describe really term to describe what it really is, which is a continuation of the fonnard lash, isn't it? it's, a it's a it's, you know, it's a it's a it's an amplification of the lash. yeah. >> yeah. but in terms of swedish people, i mean, sweden has never been involved in the middle east. >> sweden has only just given billions of whatever what do they call it. >> they've recently had a spate of quran burnings probably, which probably motivated, but they've accepted a huge amount of immigrants. they're swedish. yeah which is a terrible, terrible idea to bring in, you know, culturally very distant . know, culturally very distant. but people with, you know, some radically different ideas. i mean, if they if they brought in immigrants from portugal, a doubt they'd be, you know, running around committing terror attacks and seemed to be a
2:08 am
attacks and it seemed to be a very and objectively very determined and objectively understood program . sweden had understood program. sweden had a famous a government sponsored information film . do you information film. do you remember this one in which various swedes explained to the rest of the country that sweden was no longer going to be swedish? right. you know, they really you can find it really did. they you can find it on youtube. were saying on youtube. they were saying sweden is going to change. and what what a swede like is what what a swede looks like is not a swede has looked like not what a swede has looked like previously. was previously. and that was popular. fine with popular. everybody was fine with that. popular, i that. not terribly popular, i don't mean, is don't think. no. i mean, is quite chilling. what certainly is hindsight, now is now in hindsight, now that we've what some those we've seen what some of those people, of new swedes people, of those new swedes brought them to bring back brought with them to bring back the old the vikings, the old swedes, the vikings, as they could, maybe, you know, if a guy with one of those big double ended things down double ended axe things was down there, have solved this there, he could have solved this or at least chopped the guy's leg off. yeah. >> i know if islamists >> i don't know if islamists need but viking, need more axes, but a viking, we've got more middle eastern news on the front page of the guardian . guardian. >> leo. yes. this is looking at the other side of the gaza
2:09 am

2:11 am
like a million views online. it's woman saying that is it's this woman saying that is real, ten real, has now decapitated ten children, course, children, which is, of course, what happened the other side. so israel's gone in yet. israel's not even gone in yet. yeah. is stuff yeah. and this is the stuff that's already. that's been spread already. >> i mean, are we seeing i kind of feel hence i'm asking the question. this is i mean, obviously russia, obviously ukraine, russia, everything for everything has been going on for a and there's a couple of years and there's been degree of this. it been a degree of this. but it feels to me like this has really stepped propaganda, the stepped up the propaganda, the use the use of malign use of ai, the use of malign missing information. mean, missing information. i mean, very, to know what is very, very hard to know what is truth and what is. and obviously, you know, are obviously, you know, there are some sources, but even some trusted sources, but even even can be fooled even newspapers can be fooled and so on. >> well, from from certainly from reporting inside gaza. the thing that hamas has thing is that that hamas has totally controls it. any totally controls it. so any reporter the truth , reporter who speaks the truth, they just get kicked out straight away. right. that's that's part why can't that's part of why you can't necessarily believe anything that's really being reported at all. i mean, like we saw with the bomb yesterday, they said, oh, israel's oh, my god, look, israel's bombing, know, the bombing, the you know, the people heading down south. yeah the convoy turns out it was an ied, you know, but already that
2:12 am
lie spread around the world. lie is spread around the world. >> we that there was an >> do we know that there was an idea it have been an idea it could have been an accident or it could have been an ied. >> the point is, there are >> but the point is, there are roadblocks further down. they're trying their civilians trying to stop their civilians escaping. propaganda escaping. there's propaganda on both but has been proven. >> yeah, but it has been proven. >> yeah, but it has been proven. >> now, most likely they've done the footage the they've assessed the footage and like bomb and it's nothing like a bomb arriving. bomb. arriving. it's a bomb. >> it does like you have to >> it does feel like you have to read yesterday newspapers to have any chance of being to have any chance of being able to validate reading have any chance of being able to valida onto reading have any chance of being able to valida onto the reading have any chance of being able to valida onto the domesticiing have any chance of being able to valida onto the domestic news. about onto the domestic news. josh mail . josh the daily mail. >> yes. violent prisoners to be let early. hundreds of let out early. hundreds of offenders to have sentences cut by days under tory by 18 days under a tory government. this was revealed yesterday, but now this is, you know, obviously with the overcrowding as we're getting within about 500 spaces of left in our prison system and they're just desperate to get rid of people, yesterday, they would basically saying that if you've committed a lesser crime, you would essentially get community service . now, they obviously the service. now, they obviously the other of things, they're other side of things, they're going to be all right, going to be like, all right, you can a little can get out a little bit earlier, both things obviously
2:13 am
undermine any message this government has about being tough on crime. yeah, and that's a that's a very bad position to find yourself in going into an election. >> i've long wondered whether they shouldn't be offering alternatives to violent criminals. you can serve a sentence or you can experience a chemical adjustment of your hormone levels is likely to bnng hormone levels is likely to bring you in line with society's expectations or the wagner method. you can sign up and be sent to fight on the front lines in a variety of wars, you know, so , i mean, it does feel like so, i mean, it does feel like it's such an old and blunt instrument, isn't it? locking people up when it starts to fill up. you do kind of think there must be some alternative way with everything else that can with everything else that we can do now to affect people's behaviour. we know how easy it is tiktok people's is for tiktok to affect people's behaviour. would think behaviour. you would think there must you think punish behaviour. you would think there must by you think punish behaviour. you would think there must by ycthemlk punish behaviour. you would think there must by ycthem watchish them by making them watch tiktok. just like alex in tiktok. yeah, just like alex in the orange. just the clockwork orange. just in that constantly. >> that's basically tiktok >> that's basically what tiktok is, it ? is, isn't it? >> let's finish off with the daily . leo to be daily star. leo and to be honest, i think this is honest, i do think this is perhaps most of us, the most
2:14 am

how brief you to get through how to brief you to get through the of a a tv the first stage of a of a tv talent it's not a bad talent show. it's not a bad idea. josh i think that could be use. we our leo use. we use our days. leo absolute scenes the bbc absolute scenes as the bbc encounters end an encounters the sharp end of an ofcom ruling for a change. yeah. how tide turned. so how the tide has turned. so number rules don't number 10 says ofcom rules don't stop the bbc from calling hamas terrorists and points out the corporation used term about corporation used the term about 911 and the bataclan attacks. and it's also the bbc is also so called the attack in belgium tonight. a terror attack. yeah, almost as if they're they're mocking mocking us. but yeah, so the 911 and 2015 bataclan attacks were called terrorism by by the by the bbc and i suppose the bbc could argue that there's a history of conflict between israel and gaza. well, exactly. israel and gaza. well, exactly. i mean , you to play devil's i mean, you to play devil's advocate on this, because i am broadly of the view that we should call it terrorism. but i suppose for me, the distinction is not does it create terror? was intended to create was it intended to create terror? because you could certainly that feet certainly lay that at the feet of shock awe in 2003. you
2:22 am
of shock and awe in 2003. you know, to create terror know, that was to create terror in people of baghdad. the in the people of baghdad. the point are state actors point is, are they state actors or are they are they a sub state? are they a non—state? and that is, do they defined that is, do they have defined political will plausible? political will and plausible? exactly are they acting on behalf of a you know, and that's the thing . and the answer is no. the thing. and the answer is no. i say . but it is a little i would say. but it is a little bit more of a grey area than it is a man on the is when a man goes on the rampage with a gun in brussels. hamas has a i mean , there's the hamas has a i mean, there's the palestinian authority who reject hamas. right. but hamas is within that that that gaza strip hazard. you know , it was not hazard. you know, it was not a democratic mandate, as we understand it, but you know what i mean? it's not quite like when they are they are a proscribed terrorist organisation. >> i literally by >> they are i mean, literally by our government. and the >> they are i mean, literally by our is government. and the >> they are i mean, literally by our is saying, ernment. and the >> they are i mean, literally by our is saying, oh,nent. and the >> they are i mean, literally by our is saying, oh, no,t. and the >> they are i mean, literally by our is saying, oh, no, are1d the >> they are i mean, literally by our is saying, oh, no, are the1e bbc is saying, oh, no, are the tv stations? no. when the when that attack happened last week, a out here saying a thing went out here saying very , gb news, they are very clearly, gb news, they are a terrorist organisation because that and the fact that is reality. and the fact that is reality. and the fact that bbc are trying to that the bbc are trying to hide behind trying to that the bbc are trying to hide behi look, trying to that the bbc are trying to hide behi look, we're trying to that the bbc are trying to hide behi look, we're just'ing to that the bbc are trying to hide
2:23 am
behi look, we're just using this say, look, we're just using this to separate from fake well, to separate fact from fake well, so saying they're so you're saying they're not terrorists. what they did was wasn't terrorism. i mean, come on. and they're sort on. and then they're also sort of reveal themselves. say of reveal themselves. they say we perceive, we we don't want to perceive, we don't to don't want to be perceived to take any war. well, take sides in any war. well, what side is there here? >> what would say? let me i >> what would you say? let me i mean, of terror, what mean, in terms of terror, what would say about napalm would you say about napalm attacks vietnam america? attacks in vietnam by america? would as would we regard that as terrorism? yeah, because that was it was, right? was clearly what it was, right? if definition you're if by the definition that you're using famous picture of using the famous picture of the little running down, you little girl running down, you know, that terrorism, right? know, that was terrorism, right? >> i would say >> yeah. yeah. i would say that's terrorism. >> wasn't described as terrorism. >> well, i mean, it depends. is that what they targeting specifically? that little girl, that what they targeting sp is fically? that little girl, that what they targeting sp is this ly? that little girl, that what they targeting sp is this ly? taat little girl, that what they targeting sp is this ly? ta militarygirl, objective? >> it's quite to common target civilian populations . well, then civilian populations. well, then that's i mean, hiroshima was was against civilian target . my against the civilian target. my gut feeling is that the our instinctive idea of what is terrorism, i.e. an action obviously intended to create terror among a civilian population is not the one that's decisive in terms of whether the word is used. it's the question of under under what authority 80
2:24 am
you are performing that action. and if you are actually at war with another country and then you do that like is the rape of nanking was that terrorism? you know, horrific things know, there are horrific things have sorry, don't have happened. sorry, i don't know i don't don't don't know her. i don't don't don't joke about that. but yeah, it's interesting that you know last week the bbc people were on the bbc on newsnight demanding that gb down because gb news be shut down because somebody he didn't to somebody said he didn't want to have someone and this have sex with someone and this to this is far greater to me, this is a far greater this is a well, let's be honest, they've also transgress that particular, you know, the exact same bill anyway, but we'll go back there times. now, back there another times. now, josh workers can opt out of josh, nhs workers can opt out of their pension so they their pension scheme so they might a little prick. might feel a little prick. yeah, very . good very. good >> alarming rise in staff leaving nhs pensions. i didn't know this , but well, first of know this, but well, first of all, the number opting out has gone up 67% in four years. but what that means overall is we're talking from 3% up to 4.2% of its million members . but i had its million members. but i had noidea its million members. but i had no idea how generous is the pension scheme is where the

lowest paid get about four times the amount that they put in and the amount that they put in and the highest paid. if you're over sort of £75,000, a lot more , sort of £75,000, a lot more, you're getting double what you get and this is said it's get paid. and this is said it's one the most generous pension one of the most generous pension schemes in the country. now, of course, for people to pulling course, for people to be pulling out of this out of it is suggested of this whole cost of living crisis and it's a you know, there is a the inability to think into the long term. >> i certainly suffer from myself. you know , a lot of stand ups. >> but, you know, when you have people who are going to be better off when they're retired than they are now and having to go to food banks, that's arguably not situation. arguably not a good situation. but this is amazing how but this this is amazing how much they get but these much they get money. but these people the state of the people can see the state of the nhs and they that they're nhs and they think that they're not going it to not actually going to make it to retirement age. >> yeah. think there >> yeah, yeah. i think there might be something to that. the police other that police is the other one that gets an pension of gets an amazing pension of a similar sort. i think it used to be police used to be you'd be the police used to be you'd get two thirds of your final salary and you'd retire 30 salary and you'd retire after 30 years. would join age years. so people would join age 16, age two thirds
2:26 am
16, retire age 46 on two thirds of their final salary, which would be a good salary. you know, no country for old men. that's the subtext the that's that's the subtext of the whole thing, isn't it? just see out last back to the out that last shift back to the middle leah the middle east now, leah with the guardian, to know guardian, it's nice to know someone from the someone is benefiting from the atrocities. oil shares, atrocities. so, yes, oil shares, shell's shares have hit a record high israel—hamas high as israel—hamas war drives up price. so brent crude up the oil price. so brent crude has risen by more than 7% since the start war. so that's the start of the war. so that's justin the start of the war. so that's just in a week more than $90 just in a week to more than $90 a barrel. and shell's share price has gained 6.5% over the same period . so i've actually same period. so i've actually got shares in shell . okay. so got shares in shell. okay. so i'm hoping iran invades. but this could this could be a real problem because russia we were getting a lot of hydrocarbons from russia, oil and gas and then other countries like iran actually stepped in. that's that's why biden was doing these deals with iran and giving these these billions and, you know, softening their relations. qatar, well. we get a lot of qatar, as well. we get a lot of gas from qatar. so if this war does escalate into a wider regional , it doesn't have to be regional, it doesn't have to be a wider regional conflict. but
2:27 am
just, you know, if civilian casualties start piling up in gaza , then the people in qatar, gaza, then the people in qatar, the authorities in qatar, will be demanding that we stop providing gas to the west. yeah, because that's the interesting thing, isn't it? it's not like the war is going to take place in an oil field. you know, that's one of the things about israel. it's not actually, you know, countries. exactly. israel. it's not actually, you knoyeah untries. exactly. israel. it's not actually, you knoyeah .ntries. exactly. israel. it's not actually, you knoyeah . yeah. exactly. israel. it's not actually, you knoyeah . yeah. well, ly. israel. it's not actually, you knoyeah . yeah. well, they're >> yeah. yeah. well, they're saying that it's not actually going directly in going to impact directly in terms as you say, the terms of. yeah as you say, the geography the geography or whatever. but the fact is that a lot of this increase was already done from the of october. attacks the 4th of october. the attacks happened seventh when happened on the seventh when opec arabia, russia , opec and saudi arabia, russia, they basically said they were going oil supply going to cut the oil supply anyway. things are already on anyway. so things are already on the up before then. yeah. anyway. so things are already on the interesting :hen. yeah. anyway. so things are already on the interesting snp yeah. anyway. so things are already on the interesting snp conference >> interesting snp conference news now. josh in the times, what currently feels like one of the less pressing issues of the day but see yeah snp talking to themselves snp conference nicola sturgeon to attend as humza yousaf shifts strategy. >> i feel like i've seen the footage of her attending i've
2:28 am
seen have you seen it. i feel like i've seen her sitting. it's not your fault. >> i was just sort of these things where crest is going to walk in dresses or get that wig out. >> it's going to put. >> it's going to put. >> no, i just thought i'd seen some video footage . some video footage. >> but as i scrolling down so yeah she's attended previous years they're bringing maybe that's maybe that's showing some footage from back then so yeah she's she's sort of flying high at the moment in terms of she's just got £300,000 for say that was that was revealing. >> leapt out at me. that's a lot of campervans 300 grand. >> and that's just the >> yeah. and that's just the beginning. yeah. i mean that's more than the snp has got right now is it. >> i think you know this financial scandal. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so unbelievable i wouldn't be surprised bribed the surprised if she bribed the police arrest her just to police to arrest her just to give that extra 100, 100 grand or whatever. >> so she's got the kind >> yeah. so she's got the kind of diary chapter . yeah. of prison diary chapter. yeah. but, the whole thing is but, i mean, the whole thing is the whole thing is moot because the whole thing is moot because the whole thing they want to. the whole thing is they want to. they've a strategy now of they've got a strategy now of getting place where they
2:29 am
getting to a place where they can immediate negotiations can begin immediate negotiations with government. no , with the uk government. no, no, no, no. the uk guy's like, yeah, can we have a meeting about to no, no. the uk guy's like, yeah, can vsome�*e a meeting about to no, no. the uk guy's like, yeah, can vsome negotiations? bout to no, no. the uk guy's like, yeah, can vsome negotiations? no,t to have some negotiations? no, that's it. it's over. >> they're on the out for >> they're on the way out for a generation now, i think, aren't they? i mean it might well come back, not not some back, but not not for some i don't it'll be bothering don't think it'll be bothering headliners again while. headliners again for a while. but it says something that you know, so unpopular, know, they're so unpopular, they're back, know, they're bringing back, you know, sturgeon train. that's it for part we have part two. coming up, we have terrorist rankings terrorist popularity rankings and and and cancel culture and playground pranks. that's right. it's the quick fire trivia round.
2:30 am
2:31 am
2:32 am
2:33 am
radio. >> and welcome back to headliners . we're on the back headliners. we're on the back nine now. daily mail. headliners. we're on the back nine now. daily mail . leo and nine now. daily mail. leo and what i seriously hope is a genuine use of the word despite , genuine use of the word despite, yes, a 1 in 10 members of generation 2 and or generation 2 , because it's in america and young millennials have a positive view of hamas . positive view of hamas. according to an exclusive poll . according to an exclusive poll. i mean, to be honest, i'm amazed it's as low as 1 in 10, given the, you know, all young people are super woke and want to be seen as rad, cool and, you know, glorify islam and decolonisation and well, they have, i suppose, again, to play the devil's advocate, they probably have a simplistic view of it as being supporting the underdog, right? yeah. and also it's not i mean, this isn't stupid people. this is people top. so the is the people at the top. so the ivy league universities, columbia , harvard and penn, columbia, harvard and penn, they've protests, pro they've had protests, pro palestinian, some some palestinian, pro in some some places, pro hamas protests and
2:34 am
really statements , points that really statements, points that have then been met with revulsion. i'm wondering if this is the thing that breaks wokeness because wokeness started in the universities , you started in the universities, you know, with critical race theory and gender ideology and communism and all this sort of stuff. we're going to come on in a second to another story in which we talk about the sort of cancellation who've cancellation of people who've expressed completely unacceptable but i unacceptable views. but i did nofice unacceptable views. but i did notice it says, notice that thing where it says, despite group's murderous despite the group's murderous attack do attack on israel, and i do sincerely hope it is despite that, rather than that they somehow been energised or activated by well, they put out immediately pro hamas saying it's all israel's fault. >> these these. yeah these reports and i mean that means. yeah and by the way they're not supporting the palestinians . i supporting the palestinians. i supporting the palestinians. i support the palestinians. i hope that they get a get their own country. but this is pro hamas. yeah. >> yeah , i know. >> yeah, i know. >> yeah, i know. >> i want it to be there. i want it to be in the show on peace. but but the fact that they're support and i agree with you
2:35 am
this i think is a turning point because look, i'm on the left, but as far as i'm concerned, the far left this is absolutely revealed them over the last week. how insidious they are, how they are within how embedded they are within different institutions , men's different institutions, men's and predominantly in universities, how these ideas spread. and they need to be shamed by for their opinions. they need to be exposed and they need to be pushed further back into the fringes where they belong. >> there's a theory, isn't there, that social media forces people to double down it polarises. and then when you see something that maybe make a sane person question their previous allegiances. yeah although the thing that seems to be making these students change their mind is ceos on wall street are saying, give me a list of these students. they're never getting hired. so there's a cost associated. and what's interesting is that so many of them these fervently, them have these fervently, deeply that we deeply held beliefs that we support. support support. you know, we support hamas crumble hamas and they instantly crumble as there's a cost as soon as there's a cost associated with it. well let's have look. a story of have a look. it's a story of that kind in the josh, one
2:36 am
that kind in the mail. josh, one of the more justified instances of the more justified instances of cancel culture yeah i >> thousands sign petition to oust an ivy league professor who praised hamas and board members at columbia university. they're facing calls that they haven't doneit facing calls that they haven't done it yet. right but, you know, he's tenured this guy called joseph massad. he's a history and politics lecturer. and yeah , and he basically just and yeah, and he basically just came straight out and just wrote these absolutely ridiculous things literally things as people were literally dying and. yeah. and this is what i was just saying before is that these people are being exposed. we are having we are seeing large hedge funds, charity funds withdraw, withdraw their funds. we saw a letter, i think was it to penn university? yeah they and then suddenly huntsman or something. >> i think huntsman of a wealthy family that have been always given it a big building with his name it millions and name on it millions and millions, huge amounts. >> suddenly he gets it turns >> and suddenly he gets it turns out that the head the out that the head of the university's like, put out a letter. no we support we're letter. no we support and we're anti hamas we're this. no,
2:37 am
anti hamas and we're this. no, it's late. you have exposed it's too late. you have exposed yourselves. yeah. and also, what sort of what belief is sort of what sort of belief is it you just change a on it if you just change it on a on a dime because presumably it was an echo chamber effect? >> think they all performative >> i think they all performative exactly that this would be the safe thing to say. and in fact, it out exactly. it turns out exactly. >> you see uk >> but you see in the uk a similar david miller, who worked for bristol university, he took similar david miller, who worked for muchyl university, he took similar david miller, who worked for muchyl univthe:y, he took similar david miller, who worked for muchyl univthe stuff took similar david miller, who worked for muchyl univthe stuff that he so much work. the stuff that he was coming out with, he got a letter signed by hundreds of uk academics. they? now he academics. have they? and now he works iran tv, which is why works for iran tv, which is why i'm after this. and he's i'm going after this. and he's pumping out this crazy stuff. have any of those people pulled back their names? no. they need to identified and shamed as well. >> three in a row for the mail. now leo it sounds like a now leo and it sounds like a school of the school production of the crucible received crucible has received some bad reviews. math teacher reviews. so a meal math teacher at all girls grammar school wins £45,000 after being sacked over a playground plot where the pupils made up lies about him assaulting them . and they did it assaulting them. and they did it because, in their words, it was fun. it was fun. and i can't
2:38 am
imagine it was quite fun. so he's a former maths and computing teacher. this must absolutely destroyed his, not just his professional life, but these these these accusations. yeah these pupils, to end his pupils, they wanted to end his career alleging he had career by alleging he had assaulted , by touching assaulted them, by touching their thighs and massaging their shoulders. believe shoulders. so, you know, believe all women, but maybe not all women. you know, maybe sometimes you should question them a bit. and didn't happen the and what didn't happen the school question school didn't question any evidence they even ignored evidence or they even ignored evidence from older girls. so older been in the older girls have been in the playground and heard these girls, other who accused girls, other girls who accused him of this horrible stuff. they overheard heard them saying, yeah, we're to we're going yeah, we're going to we're going to get him because it's fun. yeah, he touched our thighs. we're him done for we're trying to get him done for sexual mean, it's not sexual assault. i mean, it's not even said said it's even he said she said it's clearly there's a specific witness evidence statements saying that they made it up and they didn't even listen to them. >> yeah, it's terrible. he's got £45,000. that's not going to make up for what he's what's happened to him. >> he's finished his career. it certainly isn't. >> well he's now been he was suspended as his teacher, i believe, now been
2:39 am
believe, has now been reinstated. but something like that, hard, isn't that, it's really hard, isn't it? who the it? traumatic? who knows the personal that? i mean, personal cost of that? i mean, and what what and these girls, what what exactly what's happened exactly has been what's happened to , they their punishment. >> i watched the i watched the saville thing, you know, that was on the bbc last week and wrote a thing about it for spiked. and it's been quite interesting. you know, i've noficed interesting. you know, i've noticed some of the backwash from that is from people saying that this created a witch hunt because you know, because it drove everyone insane that they hadn't saville hadn't managed to catch saville at you know, that this at the time. you know, that this continues this day. this was continues to this day. this was a point. and it's a real turning point. and it's an incredibly powerful weapon now, use . exactly. now, which you can use. exactly. you know, it's like letting fireworks almost fireworks off. so it's almost like macpherson report. like the macpherson report. you know, lawrence was know, the stephen lawrence was such a egregious, you such a such a egregious, you know. exactly. yeah. just know. yes exactly. yeah. just this suddenly everybody is paralysed it . anyway, that's paralysed by it. anyway, that's hopefully chap is going to hopefully that chap is going to not just get his money hopefully that chap is going to notjust get his money but hopefully that chap is going to not just get his money but but i mean reset the clock. well i think he should go and work in a boys school. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that would be a terrible
2:40 am
seven on a similar theme, josh and the top officer says the police have moved from abc to abc . we always believe children . abc. we always believe children. >> yeah, well, this ties in to what we were just talking about. police must believe child sexual abuse but not blindly, abuse victims, but not blindly, says top officer. so so it actually seems to be larger. yeah the scope is child sexual abuse and specifically historical because that's a good proportion of the cases. and when they came fonnard , there when they came fonnard, there was this thing where, yes, they would basically not necessarily not believe them where they had the abc, they had, i liked it, assume nothing, believe nothing, check everything . so i think check everything. so i think when people when they did that and it was hot, you know, when people are revealing some of the things them and things that happened to them and to met with seemed like to be met with what seemed like indifference. yeah i think. well skip, skip, skip. yeah exactly. and know, that stopped other and you know, that stopped other people from coming and people from coming fonnard and maybe withdrawing maybe people withdrawing their accusations whatnot . then we
2:41 am
accusations and whatnot. then we saw switch around , which saw things switch around, which was sort of accept everything and yeah, and it seems like now what they're talking about is to hold it into some balance because course, you did have because of course, you did have this operation midland and all these it these people investigating. it turned all turned out that it was all lies, whatnot. there is an issue whatnot. so there is an issue there that needs to be dealt with. and it sounds like now they're getting some they're finally getting some sort i recognise sort of i mean, if i recognise this, this chap obviously means well, but it's all he's essentially doing is hedging incredibly isn't he. >> it's not, he's not saying anything useful. he's saying believe not believe children but not blindly. does that blindly. well what does that mean. don't mean. like don't, don't disbelieve mean disbelieve them. yeah but i mean so with open eyes. yeah. it's like . it's like it's very basic like. it's like it's very basic advice , isn't it? you know, advice, isn't it? you know, allow be led by the evidence or whatever. yeah. that's what he's saying. hope the police were. yeah, exactly. it's not, it shouldn't be an innovation shouldn't be an innovation should your but should really do yourjob but don't it. don't do it. >> well don't do it. >> well don't do it. >> yeah. pronoun news now leo not something i ever remember. john craven saying. but anyway, saskatchewan are being controversial. according to the
2:42 am
guardian . controversial. according to the guardian. um, controversial. according to the guardian . um, yeah. so canada guardian. um, yeah. so canada province uses constitutional override to advance pronoun legislation . and this is the legislation. and this is the canadian province of saskatchewan on it agenda. it's you know what it probably is? they've got like two spirit stuff and all that stuff. i thought it was, yeah, i thought it was a bigfoot walking around in the, in the woods. but they've invoked this rare constitutional mechanist ism to shield controversial gender pronoun legislation from legal challenge is a decision that critics say violates the rights of minors. so basically, at the moment, the canadian government wants to allow teachers to let pupils transit in at school and not tell the parents, which to my mind is like, i'm like, are you mad ? are you mad? like if my you mad? are you mad? like if my kid's doing anything, like you've got to, you know, even say like , so this is apparently say like, so this is apparently you've got these parental rights activists which are being sort of painted as sort of far right and the rest of all the and all the rest of it, all the other kids, all the other good things they rights things they see the rights parents have is the primary
2:43 am
decision makers in their child's education. >> who say that parents >> who would say that parents shouldn't the primary shouldn't be the primary decision makers? >> i think i've got >> i think i think i've got a much better idea of what's best for my child than some blue haired communist teacher. and this the guardian this is what the guardian literally is calling controversial. this. yeah, they are, because they're all blue haired like haired communists. this is like some again, innovation. >> to see some >> i'm i'm gratified to see some fight back going on in canada because it's sort of the wokeist of countries and now of the woke countries and now parents are taking having to step into this. and that's the only way this stuff is only way that this stuff is going be ended when normal going to be ended when normal people are just waking up to what's having to what's going on and having to take steps. we just normally we just governments just trust our governments to just trust our governments to just this stuff and just get on with this stuff and to fair and whatnot. as you to be fair and whatnot. as you say, 100. they're talking about children's rights . what about say, 100. they're talking about chilparents ghts . what about say, 100. they're talking about chilparents ghts . vlt's: about ridiculous. >> that's for part three. >> that's it for part three. coming have richard coming up, we have richard curtis saying for telling curtis saying sorry for telling jokes. sumo wrestler sorry jokes. sumo wrestler say sorry for ovenneight. new york for being ovenneight. new york museum. say sorry for displaying natural i'm sorry. natural history. i'm sorry. that's how it
2:44 am
2:45 am
2:46 am
2:47 am
and welcome back to headliners for our final segment. so josh, independent now and nepo baby and curator scarlet curtis has been scolding her father. >> indeed , richard curtis admits >> indeed, richard curtis admits past trail of women was stupid and wrong . he's being and wrong. he's being interviewed by his daughter, the cheltenham literature festival, and he said he admitted that rewatching love actually actually made him feel uncomfortable and i just want to agree with him . not for the same agree with him. not for the same reason , no, because it's reason, no, because it's rubbish. >> all the rest of it is my family's favourite film every time. i'm so sorry. can they be mine? oh i mean, there were a couple of bits in it when i first watched it that i thought were okay, but it does feel icky to me now. so mawkish. he got into a lot of trouble from notting hill for just being into a lot of trouble from notting hill forjust being so notting hill for just being so middle class and white at the time and at the time i was like in that area in particular, it's like ridiculous. think to some
2:48 am
like ridiculous. i think to some extent probably of extent he is probably guilty of some things, but this some of these things, but this idea of fat, fat jokes, that's one of good bits. he says. one of the good bits. he says. well, says fat jokes. jokes well, he says fat jokes. jokes about women aren't any longer funny, jokes about funny, like his jokes about women says. women were never funny, he says. like got like renee zellweger's got a bottom. size of brazil. bottom. the size of brazil. that's not funny. well, anyway, that was from her book. book that was from her book. her book written woman like women written by a woman like women don't about their don't care about their appearance and their weight. >> i mean, on. >> i mean, come on. >> i mean, come on. >> his diary was a massive hit. started off column in the started off as a column in the independent, then it independent, i think. then it was as book, and was published as a book, and then it was made and it was all written by a woman. and he just came in tweaked a little came in and tweaked it a little bit. his biggest tip, bit. and also his biggest tip, i think pretty much his biggest tip was dawn french as the vicar of french is of dibley. right. dawn french is literally joke. that's literally a fat joke. that's what she is. she is a walking fat joke. she is. she's lovely and funny. but that's how you know, the joke is, know, that's what the joke is, right? you know, right? that she makes, you know, she of being funny. she had 20 years of being funny. like, get it. you know like, you know, get it. you know what i mean? like john candy. i mean, loads of people have made fun themselves out of this. curtis has given them a curtis has just given them a
2:49 am
tweak bit fairy dust tweak and a bit of fairy dust over it. yeah. yeah, it'd be interesting, though, to know what great what her great, great grandfather, freud, grandfather, sigmund freud, would of all this. are you would make of all this. are you serious? yeah married. serious? yeah she's married. he's married to emma freud. who's great, great, who's the grand. great, great, great granddaughter of sigmund. yeah dawn. not french. no yeah dawn. not dawn french. no no, scarlett curtis , who no, sorry. scarlett curtis, who is, like, an absolute classic. i'd never heard of her before, but checked wikipedia but i checked her wikipedia out. she's has curated she's basically. she has curated three anthologies other three anthologies of other people's essays for feminist essays for penguin. right. and dyed her hair pink daily mail. now she fat . and as if she's now she fat. and as if she's not. no she's painfully thin and as if the world is anti—semitic enough at the moment. foreskin restoration surgery. so yeah, this is an exclusive. although i'm not sure who else would run it. good foreskin regeneration be the making of the next medical millionaire. scientists developed the technique to regrow penis skin in a lab as 40% of circumcised men say they were too young to consent as they grow penis skin. i just want to know if it has to go in
2:50 am
the penis. can i get a snood off the penis. can i get a snood off the preposterous monkey? oh yes. yeah okay. that's one way to keep the thermostat down. yeah. yeah halloween parties. i could spit milk out of it, but yeah, it's interesting . i mean, it's it's interesting. i mean, it's amazing what they can do because at the moment they've got surgical reattachment where they take skin from another part of your attach it to your body and attach it to the penis to make it. i don't know why anybody would to do why anybody would want to do this, doesn't look the this, but it doesn't look the same. yeah, it doesn't add any extra sensation whatnot, but extra sensation or whatnot, but at the moment they're doing phase in phase two trials. >> they're taking >> yeah. yeah. they're taking foreskin deceased foreskin donated from deceased men and is. and then men and that is. and then they're them with they're recolonising them with rat cells . oh, i think i'm just rat cells. oh, i think i'm just going to stay jewish. if that's all right. this makes frankenstein like frankenstein . frankenstein like frankenstein. what if you get one off like some terrible sex attacker? >> and that's. i've seen that film. i've seen that film where it starts, you know, i'm sure there used to be lots of old filthy jokes where somebody has
2:51 am
