be lots about sir bobby charlton and more . so be lots about sir bobby charlton and more. so i'm looking and much more. so i'm looking fonnard and let me tell fonnard to that. and let me tell you that we also are going to be covering issue of comedy and covering the issue of comedy and woke comedy poor old richard curtis, he's apologised for doing fat jokes, but they were funny 20 years ago. why are they not funny now? okay it's time for my big opinion. not funny now? okay it's time for my big opinion . postman for my big opinion. postman pat's postman . pat. postman. pat pat's postman. pat. postman. pat and his black and white cat. early in the morning, just as day is dawning , he picks up all day is dawning, he picks up all the post bags in his van. those were the days when you could have a children's television series about our woefully efficient postal network. let me tell you , i love my postman. he tell you, i love my postman. he wears shorts all year round, even in subzero temperatures, and he's got quite the most gorgeous, knobbly knees , legs so gorgeous, knobbly knees, legs so hairy he would have a yeti blushing drives like a maniac with a door open. what a legend and cheerful professional . i am and cheerful professional. i am one happy customer . and cheerful professional. i am one happy customer. in and cheerful professional. i am one happy customer . in fact, one happy customer. in fact, i've never met a postman or post

woman i didn't like. it's hard work. early starts . you're on work. early starts. you're on your feet all day. you ring the doorbell, people aren't in. you get berated for missing parcels and of course you face the daily threats of being eviscerated by a chihuahua. or cocker spaniel. i recently had a up my leg and i can tell you it was no fun. so i think the royal mail has an excellent workforce , but the excellent workforce, but the management have right royally messed up. the royal mail , messed up. the royal mail, according to the excellent financial website. this is money .co.uk royal mail is delivering post less than once a week in some towns and in one uk city, residents claim it's once a fortnight . residents claim it's once a fortnight. but residents claim it's once a fortnight . but postal workers fortnight. but postal workers say delivery rounds have been axed and letters are piled up at sorting offices as they're told to prioritise the more lucrative contract and signed for delivery . as they've branded the situation diabolical and say they're facing an angry backlash on the doorstep too. right? they are. ofcom has launched an

investigation and has the power to punish royal mail for letting customers down. and now i've got to say, whether it's the dvla, the passport office or now the royal mail, you do get the feeling the country is slightly falling apart. if you can't send a letter and be confident it will be there the next day. you have an infrastructure which is not fit for purpose, not only is there a human impact with people missing, hospital appointments, missing, hospital appointments, missing out on birthday cards , missing out on birthday cards, or even love letters from someone sealed with a loving kiss , there is the impact on kiss, there is the impact on business and the economy as well. so suppliers waiting for that cheque to arrive , contracts that cheque to arrive, contracts and other documents lost in the post somewhere and whatever happens to that tenner that your auntie mavis sent you for your 18th , why have dhl , dpd and 18th, why have dhl, dpd and others entered the parcel market when the royal mail parcel force previously enjoyed such a

monopoly? well, because they became parcel farce , it doesn't became parcel farce, it doesn't help that the unions representing postal workers are telling their staff to go on strike every ten minutes. roy all mail is legally bound by the universal postal service agreement , which requires it to agreement, which requires it to deliver letters six a day every week. and five for parcels . and week. and five for parcels. and that's every address in the uk at affordable prices that are uniform throughout the uk. well, i think it's time for the government to flex its muscles and demand the royal mail and to demand the royal mail fulfils its obligations and does what pay it to do , if not what we pay it to do, if not allow dhl or federal express to take over the postal infrastructure. given their global expertise, they might do a better job. they couldn't do worse emails are great, don't get me wrong. and the move to digital is a hard adjustment for any postal network and a lot of lost income. but people still want to send letters. they want to write to each other. many, like the security of being paid by cheque or receiving proper itemised paper bills for

utilities . and we mustn't lose utilities. and we mustn't lose that , just as we mustn't lose that, just as we mustn't lose any more post offices which are any more post offices which are a lifeline for many older people , and the social hub of many communities as the royal mail should raise their game or get out of the game altogether. royal mail has become royal fail. if the service gets any worse, the government should return to sender. poor old postman pat is spinning in his grave and his gorgeous is none too happy either . postman pat . too happy either. postman pat. postman pat. >> postman . >> postman. >> postman. >> pat. and his black and white cat . early in the >> pat. and his black and white cat. early in the morning, >> pat. and his black and white cat. early in the morning , just cat. early in the morning, just as day is dawning, he picks up all the post bags in his van. postman pat . postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. postman pat. and his black and white cat . all the birds are white cat. all the birds are singing and the day is just

beginning . when pat feels he's beginning. when pat feels he's a really happy man . really happy man. >> any excuse to play that classic tune over to me, please. josh thank you so much. okay. what do you think? mark gbnews.com will get to your email shortly. what is your experience of the postal service? let's get the views now of my top pundits music person and journalist garry bushell , and journalist garry bushell, comedian and broadcaster. sir galli—curci and the deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane okay, folks, where do we start with this? >> suella oh come on. >> suella oh come on. >> royal mail is now royal mail. >> royal mail is now royal mail. >> i know, i know. if i was going to spend £85 on a first class stamp , i want a first class stamp, i want a first class stamp, i want a first class service. 2525 one. well, there you go. there you go. send a letter in a while. >> have you? >> have you? >> i haven't sent a letter for a while. i googled what it costs and it said £0.85. i've been

listening to gb news radio . listening to gb news radio. >> well, it turns out an expose by the this is money website reveals that some cities in this country aren't receiving their for post two weeks. what's your experience of the royal mail this from brian my royal mail in accrington is quite literally first class. how ever. let's have a look. snail mail is dying out, says richard . and just like out, says richard. and just like physical cash , you can't hold

physical cash, you can't hold back the tide of progress or the march of technology . and ralph march of technology. and ralph says, mark, i posted a birthday present to my grandson on a monday afternoon. it arrived in manchester on a tuesday morning . manchester on a tuesday morning. well, lucky you, ralph. i'm pleased to hear it. i'll get some more of your emails shortly. it's time now for the big story and the reclaim party mp andrew bridgen was finally granted a debate in the house of commons on worryingly high excess deaths in this country in the aftermath of the pandemic. here's he told the house here's what he told the house yesterday . yesterday. >> experience more excess deaths since july 2021. >> in the whole of 2020. unlike the pandemic, however, these deaths are not disproportionately of the old. in other words, the excessive deaths are striking down. people in the prime of life. but no one seems to care. i fear history will not judge this house kindly. we're still in a country supposedly committed to free and frank exchange of views . it frank exchange of views. it appears that no one cares, that

no one cares. well, i care , mr no one cares. well, i care, mr deputy speaker, and i credit those members here in attendance today who also care . today who also care. >> so why are excess deaths so high? and why is no one talking about, at least of all mps? the chamber was all but empty yesterday with only the likes of gb news presenter philip davies in attendance . to debate this, in attendance. to debate this, i'm delighted to welcome andrew bridgen himself, as well as renowned nhs gp david lloyd . dr. renowned nhs gp david lloyd. dr. david lloyd i should add now andrew, first of all, for the uninitiated , david, what is the uninitiated, david, what is the expression excess deaths actually mean ? well clearly it's actually mean? well clearly it's to define excess deaths. >> what you've got to do is estimate that the number of deaths that were expected and if you've got more than that, you've, you've got an excess. there are various ways of measuring it. and the ons , measuring it. and the ons, unfortunately, are using a method where they count in their baseline for their average, the year of 2021. obviously there was nothing average about the

deaths in 2021. and obviously the higher you make your your your expected number, the less the excess. so there are different ways of calculating . different ways of calculating. but every way you calculate it, there is an excess. and what i've identified is with the help of scientists who've posed the question is, is that the ons aren't actually reporting the correct weekly death figures because a large number of deaths are actually being reported to coroners for investigation, quite rightly. but then those figures are never being incorporated into the weekly death figures, possibly not for years now . yea i's now. >> years now. >> what are some of the headline figures? because i think there's concern about the number of excess deaths and also the age groups . groups. >> well, it's ischaemic heart disease and heart failure are the big excess death reasons, excess mortality reasons are not only in the uk but around the world. because this isn't just a

uk problem, it's stretching across the developed world all the way around to australia who've got some shocking excess mortality figures exactly the same as we have. but mortality figures exactly the same as we have . but australia same as we have. but australia is a very interesting thing for, for the debate because they actually rolled out the vaccines, the experimental vaccines, the experimental vaccines before they got many cases of covid in large amounts of their country and what they actually saw was excess deaths that were nothing to do with covid at all because they hadn't had any cases of covid in parts of australia , but they had had of australia, but they had had the vaccination and they suffered the excess deaths . suffered the excess deaths. >> dr. david lloyd, good to have you on the program. um, why do you on the program. um, why do you think excess deaths so you think excess deaths are so high? concerned ? yes high? are you concerned? yes i think i'm very concerned . think i'm very concerned. >> and to answer mr bryan's very detailed research , i can't do detailed research, i can't do that. but i think there is an issue about causality . we know issue about causality. we know that people who died in 2021 and 2022, 93% of them had had a

covid vaccine . and there was a covid vaccine. and there was a huge increase in mortality, but it wasn't caused by the covid vaccine , as mr bridgen has just vaccine, as mr bridgen has just said , there is this very strong said, there is this very strong link between covid, the disease and the development of heart disease. later on, i think we're in the middle of a very long tail . i work in the middle of a very long tail. i work as one of my jobs. i work as a medical examiner at my local hospital where we look into the deaths of people who die in the hospital and people are dying covid now. people are dying of covid now. people are dying of covid now. people are in intensive care of are dying in intensive care of covid, but they won't be counted as a covid death because they died beyond the 28 rule for died beyond the 28 day rule for with a test within 28 days for covid. so so underreporting is a big issue. we are to going see an awful lot more deaths and we're going to see an awful lot of people who have had covid, who develop heart problems later on in their lives as well. so it is a very worrying problem. but the important thing to say is that not vaccine that's that it's not the vaccine that's causing problem. it's the causing this problem. it's the disease. is the

disease. and the vaccine is the cause is the thing that we need to give people still to stop them getting the consequences of covid and the heart problems. associate with that. >> andrew, do you accept that point that actually it's covid, which is causing these heart problems rather than the vaccination ? vaccination? >> well, it couldn't have caused it in australia where they were vaccinated before. they didn't get hit hard with covid until the omicron wave, which was much later, and they already got the heart. the huge increase in 67% increase in reported hospitalisations for cardiac arrest in southern australia. i quoted all those figures in my speech yesterday day and also the learned doctor should know there was a very , very good there was a very, very good paper from israel that came out, established, i think about about 12 months ago, which clearly showed that that covid itself did not cause increases in heart failure. this is totally down to

the vaccines. we know that the vaccines cause myocarditis and pericarditis that's now been been admitted in the pfizer trial. there were four patient in the pfizer trial group who died of cardiac arrest, but only one in the placebo group . i one in the placebo group. i think that is pretty significant. now that's that's pretty significant . pretty significant. >> it dr. taylor, we heard so much about the covid death toll dunng much about the covid death toll during the pandemic. why the silence from the medical establishment over excess deaths? i appreciate take on board that your concern, but i haven't seen too many medics on tv publicising these excess deaths . deaths. >> oh, i think it's a very common thing to talk about amongst doctors. it's a very common thing to talk about. i mean, don't forget, i don't i haven't seen any press conferences. >> i haven't seen any newspaper headunes >> i haven't seen any newspaper headlines about it. and i'm also not seeing any television networks debate it. and the house of commons was empty yesterday. why >> well, i think that the extreme views that people have

about you call it an experimental vaccine. it's not an experimental vaccine. it was developed using all the proper well , why is it under emergency well, why is it under emergency use authorised why is it still under emergency use authorisation with product indemnity . tell me why the nobel indemnity. tell me why the nobel prize committee decided to award this year's medicine prize to the two people who developed the mrna vaccine. we know this vaccine is a major, major advance . advance. >> they also they also gave andrew andrew, i'll come back to you. >> let richard finish his point. richard i'm just i'm just saying that the covid vaccine is. >> david sorry, the first sorry is the didn't answer to your name is the covid vaccine is the first vaccine of a bunch of mrna vaccines are going to come in, which are going to be of fantastic benefit to the human race. we're now investigating whether mrna vaccines can treat cancer and there's a strong possibility that they will. so when people start to doubt the science, when start, people start to call it an experimental

vaccine , then that is vaccine, then that is detrimental to the development of medicine. the nobel prize committee don't just award these things because on a whim they do very detailed research and so it's a fantastic boost for mrna vaccines that we've got the nobel prize and the data shows that only 51 people in the entire country died as a result of covid vaccinations, which is one chance in 359,000, whereas you contrast that to the hundreds of thousands of people that we saved from dying from the vaccine, the evidence is ovennell that this vaccine works and is safe and should be continued to be used and we are still seeing people dying of covid. >> so le parisien is a very good he's done lots of in—depth research. >> i commend him for getting this relatively difficult to obtain data, but the mainstream medical profession strongly believe that the benefits of covid vaccines far outweigh the

risks when we're dealing with such a deadly disease. >> david i'm just going to be a final question to you before i come back to andrew. i've got no doubt that the vaccine must have been very helpful for those who fisked been very helpful for those who risked hospitalisation or serious illness. but given that the vaccine neither stop transmission or prevented you from getting covid, why did we vaccinate healthy people at low risk, particularly children ? risk, particularly children? >> well, i think that i think you've hit on a very interesting point, and i'm afraid i'm not an epidemiologist. point, and i'm afraid i'm not an epidemiologist . and as you say, epidemiologist. and as you say, although there is some weak data suggests that it does prevent transmission a little bit, it's not actually designed for that. as you say, it's designed for prevent hospitalisation and death . so, yes, i think that death. so, yes, i think that there needs to be some big talks about who should get it. and as you know, this round of vaccination we're doing at the moment is only for the at risk population. it's not for children. an empty children. and through an empty house of commons yesterday, why ? house of commons yesterday, why? >> well, just like to come >> well, i'd just like to come back on point about the

back on the point about the nobel prize committee. there's a lot of politics and money involved, involved in the nobel prizes. and i would remind your viewers that they did give a nobel prize medicine to the nobel prize for medicine to the man who invented frontal lobotomy . i'm not sure that the lobotomy. i'm not sure that the learned doctor would a stick learned doctor would on a stick that very well that that was a very well deserved accolade . and there was deserved accolade. and there was no in the chamber in the chamber about that. >> nobody not now, nobody. >> nobody not now, nobody. >> there's nobody in the chamber because they didn't want to talk about it. and the unofficial tally that's that's that's what they don't want to talk about. when issues that they when i raise issues that they don't to talk about, the don't want to talk about, the reason i'm shunned in parliament is because the public do want to talk about these issues. they want talk about excess want to talk about excess deaths. want talk about deaths. they want to talk about vaccine harms. they want to talk about the sexualisation our about the sexualisation of our children in schools through education. talk education. they want to talk about the who. power grab over over our sovereign t. and when i raised these issues, constituents email their own mp because they're concerned about it and it forces mps to debate

and put themselves certainly on the wrong side of history . and the wrong side of history. and but the trouble is that history is written by the establishment and the victors and we haven't won yet, but we are going to because the truth will come out. >> so my thanks to the truth is already there for covid vaccination. >> okay, my thanks to nhs gp doctor david lloyd. thank you david for joining doctor david lloyd. thank you david forjoining us and andrew, david for joining us and andrew, thank you for your time as well. andrew bridgen mp brilliant stuff a fascinating debate. stuff and a fascinating debate. your verdict please. mark at gbnews.com. should we talk about these excess deaths and what are your about them coming your concerns about them coming up pundits following up with the pundits following a screeching in which screeching u—turn in which they've now agreed to call hamas a proscribed terror organisation? the bbc organisation? has the bbc permanently damaged its reputation and as written, is pelt britain is pelted with rain. it's time to ask our umbrellas and annoying waste of time in a public nuisance. so much to get through. we'll discuss the bbc

radio. in a screeching u—turn

that would have a top gear presenter blushing. >> the bbc has stopped automatically describing hamas as militants after complaints by jewish leaders about the broadcaster's coverage the bbc announced yesterday that they will now describe hamas as a group proscribed as a terror organisation by the uk government and others . a bit of government and others. a bit of a mouthful, but we got there in the end. but following this row in which the national state broadcaster struggled to use the word terrorist about a group who have raped women , kidnapped have raped women, kidnapped children babies , children and beheaded babies, has the permanently damaged has the bbc permanently damaged its reputation? sajeela i don't know because i was thinking about this. >> i'm thinking why would the bbc not call them out as being terrorists? i was thinking, well, maybe i understand well, maybe i don't understand the terrorism , right? so the word terrorism, right? so i googled it and it terrorism is a calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in the population and thereby bnng in the population and thereby bring about a particular political objective, says the dictionary. right but it also then goes on to say about

militant, which is what they have been calling them, is a person uses is willing to person who uses or is willing to use force on strong pressure to achieve especially achieve their aims, especially to achieve social or political to achieve a social or political change. i don't know if there's much difference there, but much difference in there, but both matter what it both it doesn't matter what it was. they was appalled was. what they did was appalled thing and quite hideous. and then thought, would then thought, well, why would then thought, well, why would the bbc not not use if it's if it makes the jewish community feel happier , why not use that feel happier, why not use that word? why are you still hanging on to it? and then i thought, okay, well, who's said that they are hamas are a terrorist organisation. i didn't know that. only nine countries, including the uk and the us, are consider them a terrorist organisation. so that was an interesting thing and i wondered if was because bbc world if it was because bbc world services they're worried services and they're worried about you know, the about offending you know, the other people. was other other people. so i was just trying to find a different way looking this rather way of looking at this rather than they're wrong, they're right. >> you know, gary, you've written about bushell the written about tv, bushell on the box. many years. this not box. for many years. this is not a look for the state a good look for the state broadcaster, is it? >> and you talk about

>> no. and you talk about squander ing a reputation. i think they did that years ago. i really don't understand the problem . you know, as you've problem. you know, as you've said already , you have a group said already, you have a group of armed men attack an unarmed music festival . teenagers and music festival. teenagers and young people kill them, kidnap them , butcher babies, rape women them, butcher babies, rape women , and to call them militants is an insult. a militant is a man who stands on a picket line and wants better money and more money in his pocket. these people are bastards. they're war criminals. if you want it more precisely. and i really don't understand how even understand how you can even try and equate them with the israeli defence force or whatever, because like and like because it's not like and like it really isn't like and like , it really isn't like and like, yeah, i mean, rebecca chain, the bbc would argue they were following protocol over many years. >> okay. >> okay. >> i can tell you exactly why the bbc went down this route . the bbc went down this route. it's because all they want to do is appease the woke nonsense and they're absolutely spineless. yes, that's what it's all about. everything do is to

everything that they do is to appease this woke culture that unfolds in front of our very eyes. and they are always too scared to death to actually just call out the truth. you're absolutely right, gary . they absolutely right, gary. they ruined themselves years ago. absolutely. years ago. and if we couldn't have lost much more respect for them, this was the icing on the cake. >> i mean, the bbc would argue they have millions of listeners to their radio channels. they've got millions of viewers for bbc one, bbc two. >> you suggesting that millions of muslims believe believe that these people are speak for them? i don't think they do. >> they don't. they don't. and i think that's where we're going wrong, is i think it's a really dangerous thing we've set ourselves because ourselves where because something in region, ourselves where because somet got| in region, ourselves where because somet got to in region, ourselves where because somet got to call in region, ourselves where because sometgot to call it in region, ourselves where because somet got to call it a1 region, ourselves where because somet got to call it a religion, 1, we've got to call it a religion, right? so i don't think i don't think we should tar israel has got a long record of human rights abuses . as know, rights abuses. as you know, they've called it's been they've been called it's been called out as being apartheid on what the palestinians have been going through. so, you know, that's there's a reason why we've got to this place today.

i'm not saying that it's excusing it, but i'm saying excusing it, but i'm just saying there is. but to say that all jewish people think same, jewish people think the same, that's a that's nonsense. that's a nonsense. think the nonsense. they don't think the same. just like same. it's israel, just like anyone can criticise uk anyone can criticise the uk government. and similarly, hamas don't stand for all muslims. they for stand all they don't for stand all palestinians. and i think that's where we're really going. and palestinians. and i think that's whebeene're really going. and palestinians. and i think that's whebeen quiteally going. and palestinians. and i think that's whebeen quite scary)ing. and palestinians. and i think that's whebeen quite scary watching it's been quite scary watching tv to and tv every channel i turn to and the propaganda that we're heanng the propaganda that we're hearing and also people's nasty little opinions that they're hiding that come to the surface . hiding that come to the surface. you know, i've seen some interviews here recently with yourself, know, where yourself, mark, you know, where they oh, the bbc reported they said, oh, the bbc reported who who must go home and they must these things must think about these things with family members and with their family members and they must think these things. so therefore, they're it therefore, they're bringing it into don't into the workplace. i don't i don't i don't that. don't agree. i don't buy that. i think i think we've got to stop calling like groups and calling it like groups and saying all muslims stand saying that all muslims stand for all all jewish for hamas or all all jewish people israel policies people stand for israel policies said that there was a distinct difference, i think, between there's that there's one country in that region have freedom of region where you have freedom of religion, elected democracy , b, religion, elected democracy, b, you have gay rights and women's

rights and that is israel . rights and that is israel. >> nowhere. if there was a sign on television the other night on the bill marr show, there was a group in america who held up a sign saying queers for palestine . and i thought, well, if you are gay, try going to hamas and seeing how they react . seeing how they react. >> you're doing the same thing. now, though , gary. you're doing now, though, gary. you're doing the same thing now, like saying go into hamas, hamas is separate from absolutely . from palestine. oh, absolutely. >> so absolutely in this >> so i'm absolutely in this case, it's them that setting the pace and it's deliberately setting the pace, isn't it? >> we cheer >> well, look, how do we cheer ourselves about the ourselves up? we talk about the weather is definitely weather and it is definitely autumn. most of the uk autumn. with most of the uk drenched today, drenched in rain showers today, which inspired the telegraph which has inspired the telegraph newspaper to write short newspaper to write a short history the umbrella. history of the umbrella. apparently was invented 3000 apparently it was invented 3000 years but its design was years ago, but its design was perfected in the 1850s and hasn't changed much since then. but this device divides opinion with many people ever reliant on the umbrella at the first sign of rain, with others finding them a public nuisance and unreliable . even i got embroiled

unreliable. even i got embroiled in the debate. here's a clip from my surprisingly popular self—improvement podcast , the self—improvement podcast, the mark way on the mark dolan way on the controversial subject of umbrellas . controversial subject of umbrellas. i'm against controversial subject of umbrellas . i'm against umbrellas umbrellas. i'm against umbrellas . i think they are evil . first . i think they are evil. first of all, you just lose them or they break their clunky. what do you do with an umbrella once it's wet and you want to put it down? welcome to hell . i'm down? welcome to hell. i'm against umbrellas. i consider them to be a bad thing . and i'm them to be a bad thing. and i'm not really a partisan flippant in cancel culture, but i would cancel umbrellas not pulling my punches. cancel umbrellas not pulling my punches . the mark dolan way punches. the mark dolan way available on all good podcast platforms or to watch on youtube. so should these hellish devices be chucked into the dustbin of history? are you an umbrellas person? >> i'm concerned at how passionate you are about furious umbrellas. >> i'm furious with umbrellas. >> i'm furious with umbrellas. >> come on. i love a good umbrella . umbrella. >> they pop out the wrong way . >> they pop out the wrong way. >> they pop out the wrong way. >> no, no, no, no. they break. they take your eye out. you can find the cheap ones. >> of course you've got to buy

hi, mark, says andy in regards to the royal mail, i hi, mark, says andy in regards to the royal mail , i retired to the royal mail, i retired last year after 47 years at the royal mail . it's a scandal. royal mail. it's a scandal. what's going on in the company now? i work with an amazing group of guys and gals who are now leaving in droves. it used to be a great job until

privatisation. many of you are saying that privatisation is the problem. blackpool problem. lorraine in blackpool says mark, week we had to says mark, last week we had to accept parcel postman accept a parcel from our postman after relieving himself after just relieving himself charming more of your emails shortly. lots more to come, but it is time now for mark meets. try to imagine that this happened just a couple of years ago in a supposedly freedom loving country as the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, threatened unvaccinated truckers with the sack. this authority mandate led to an unprecedented protest in ottawa in which thousands of truckers pulled up their vehicles in solidarity. the truckers and their supporters saw their bank accounts frozen. an example of government overreach that would have north korea blushing bizarre . ali the truckers were bizarre. ali the truckers were labelled misogynist and racist, even though the truckers came from a diverse background . from a diverse background. explain that one. it strikes me as the moment that canada lost its mind and represented the

worst excesses of the west's response to covid. well it's all been recounted in a stunning new book by the heroic leader of the convoy. the book is called honking for freedom. the trucker convoy that gave us hope . and convoy that gave us hope. and it's available at honking for freedom.com and its author, benjamin j. joins me now. benjamin, welcome to mark dolan tonight. what inspired the idea of the convoy . of the convoy. >> well, it was this authoritarian creep that had been going on for some time in canada . canada. >> and by the way, it wasn't just trudeau. it was also on the provincial level with the conservative representatives as well. so the government, in its totality had abandoned us and abandoned the basic rights of, you know, any sort of british democracy where we have the right of freedom of movement and we had to do something. and by the way, many of us were vaccinated . vaccinated. >> i'm vaccinated a number of the people that organised it with me were vaccinated. >> it wasn't just about that . it

>> it wasn't just about that. it was about all our rights being stripped. >> ironically, it ended with >> and ironically, it ended with the governments locking down not just our bank accounts, but our credit cards, lines of credit, corporate account, absolutely everything . and then you saw everything. and then you saw that copied and pasted in other jurisdictions like brazil. so this is getting increasingly concerning. yeah >> so did it surprise you that this level of government control could happen in canada ? could happen in canada? >> i think it did. >> i think it did. >> you know, i had been a bitcoiner for many years and this was actually the case for bitcoin, which i describe in two chapters of the book of the $23 million that we raised in donations , that was the only donations, that was the only money that could not that was not censored . and we were able not censored. and we were able to distribute it to towards to the truckers. >> but yeah, it was, it was really quite shocking. >> and many people are still, you know , they still have some you know, they still have some sort of trauma from this. >> they don't trust the banking

system. when the ema was invoked, there was a $1.2 trillion dollar bank run, to according my contacts within the government, like it really did, irreparable damage to canada's reputation for something that we always thought. and this was the bitcoin case. we always said , bitcoin case. we always said, this is for when it happens somewhere else. you know, in the third world. but it happened here. it was it was absolutely crazy. >> how much did the truckers personally suffer in order to make a stand? >> a lot. 39 trucking companies lost their licences to operate money. independent operators lost their trucks. we now have a $450 million class action lawsuit levied against us by some small businesses tied to the trudeau government . and so the trudeau government. and so and that's just lawfare . we and that's just lawfare. we don't even know if it'll be certified . but, you know, the certified. but, you know, the process is the punishment . but process is the punishment. but you know what? it was worth it because i was just in the uk a

couple of weeks ago. >> we missed each other. but in the uk, when i go to the united states all the time, everywhere i go , people tell me, you know i go, people tell me, you know what, it's because of your protest. >> there and the 33 other protests around the world that were all free and not wearing masks anymore. so it was worth it. it was a sacrifice . i'm glad it. it was a sacrifice. i'm glad we did. >> most definitely . the trucker >> most definitely. the trucker protest was a bellwether for freedom across the world and across the west . and what is the across the west. and what is the legacy of the trucker convoy? i mean, has canada changed as a result ? result? >> i think change is it takes time. you know , we often time. you know, we often overestimate change in the short term and underestimate change over the long term. and i think this is going to be a generational process . yes. but generational process. yes. but i think what's happened and i know from my friends in the conservatives because i had run for parliament in the past, so i know everybody in the parties is a line has been drawn in the sand for the political class

that there are a group of small business owners , independent business owners, independent middle class people who, when pushed, are ready to stand up and to protest that, which is not something that that class of people normally does . people normally does. >> now, justin trudeau, the prime minister, called the truckers races and misogynists . truckers races and misogynists. where did he get that from ? where did he get that from? >> i don't know. he also called me a, and i'm jewish. so and i said in one of the interviews, unlike prime minister, blackface , some of us still have family buned , some of us still have family buried in mass graves in europe. but, you know, he's a he's a puppet . we but, you know, he's a he's a puppet. we all but, you know, he's a he's a puppet . we all know. we know puppet. we all know. we know everybody knows on capitol hill. he doesn't make the decisions. he doesn't make the decisions. he comes out . he doesn't make the decisions. he comes out. he is, as he once described himself , off the described himself, off the relationships manager . described himself, off the relationships manager. yeah. and, you know, part time cost enthusiast. but i think the end of his career is very , very of his career is very, very close and we can move on from the covid blackface era . the covid blackface era. >> briefly, have you had much

trouble getting publicity for your excellent new book? >> well , yeah, you would. >> well, yeah, you would. >> well, yeah, you would. >> let's just say the legacy media isn't thrilled with this book, but that is to be expected. and i wrote this for 1—1 very important reason. this is all the good stories. there are a bunch of books that have been written. that's all apologetics for the political parties that, quite frankly, all failed us. but i wanted to share the story of how we all came together. that's why the cover in the foreground is people and the canadian flags and the trucks are in the background because it was about a country finally unifying . and i'll give finally unifying. and i'll give you one brilliant example. the one of the first interviews i did from ottawa was with a very well known quebec journalist who works for a french publication . works for a french publication. and i asked her at the end of the interview, as i usually do in interviews , i said, what do in interviews, i said, what do you think about this? what do you think about this? what do you think about what's going on? and all that stuff you know what

she said to me? she said, for my entire life i've been a separatist until i saw the trucks across the trucks driving across the country and i brought bought my first canadian flag ever. and i now identify as a canadian. and i realise that we're all unified. image on that. >> well, listen, my viewers and listeners need to head to hong kong for freedom.com brilliant brilliant book and it's been written by benjamin dichter. dichter r i think we've got the graphic there. thank you very much. benjamin listen, we'll catch up in the next hour in which i'll be dealing with woke comedy and the cancellation of fat jokes. find out why

political incorrect films, including notting hill. the cast of which was whiter than the audience at a coldplay concert. it is true that the choice of actors in that film hardly represented the diverse nature of notting hill. it was comically white and comically middle class, but its disingenuous to make these films accrue millions off the back of them and then years later say, oh, i'm so sorry, what was i thinking? it's a familiar routine. now make a show or movie. write a book, get rich , movie. write a book, get rich, get famous from it. and then years later apologise. the creator of us sitcom friends did the same thing, apologising for that show, being so white whilst still banking those lovely royalty checks . it's a tedious royalty checks. it's a tedious cycle. no artist worth their salt should ever apologise for the work they've done . at worst, the work they've done. at worst, they can say times have changed and these shows or movies look different now. but spare me the hand—wringing, the profuse apologies, the wearing of a

hairshirt as they fall to their knees at the altar of wokeism . knees at the altar of wokeism. apologies from the stars makes me want to reach for the sick bag. plus they are fuelling cancel culture feeding the woke crocodile which grows ever hungnen crocodile which grows ever hungrier, making life harder for people creating art in 2023. it's what many powerful celebrities do enjoy , enjoy the celebrities do enjoy, enjoy the freedom of the past whilst pulling up the drawbridge for everyone else. the bbc have more or less cancelled little britain and come fly with me for not aligning with current values. the beeb have made a lot of money from little britain. are they going to give it back ? i they going to give it back? i won't hold my breath. richard curtis has also been lambasted by his own daughter at the middle class mecca of the cheltenham literature festival , cheltenham literature festival, no less. for the fat jokes that he made in his films. now i don't know how many fit movies , don't know how many fit movies, sorry, hit movies, i should say. his daughter is responsible for, but i'd suggest that the success

of films like four weddings and notting hill would imply that the public don't have a problem with their content, including the thousands who are still the many thousands who are still streaming these movies online, including doubt, many british including no doubt, many british people enjoying the people of colour enjoying the outrageously white notting hill because, well, it's a funny old world out there. so to the fat jokes, one of the offending lines was that bridget jones had an bigger than brazil . that's an bigger than brazil. that's funny. get over yourself. but of course, this new generation of joyless permanently offended thought police want to suck out all of the comedy from the world. they hate laughter. what's wrong with fat jokes? it's not like a disability which is beyond your control. other mobsters and their overreliance on the delicious fare of ronald mcdonald, the latest protected class . i'll be honest, i was class. i'll be honest, i was a bit of a porker myself before cutting the carbs , but you could cutting the carbs, but you could tease my dad bod all day long. now i've got a background in television comedy myself , and i television comedy myself, and i presented the wildly politically incorrect and highly popular

channel 4 hidden camera show balls of steel with. i'd be apologising for balls of steel . apologising for balls of steel. absolutely not. if channel 4 wants to bring it back, let's talk .i wants to bring it back, let's talk . i think they should. talk. i think they should. there's a growing gap now between what the public find funny and what they're actually allowed to see tv and in allowed to see on tv and in movies. that's why ricky gervais is naughty un—pc live shows are so much more popular than regular telly . do you think regular telly. do you think a woke comedy tv show would be funny and successful with no jokes about protected groups or anyone that's ovenneight? fat chance. anyone that's ovenneight? fat chance . now where's that bargain chance. now where's that bargain bucket ? delicious . bucket? delicious. these aren't bad. got to say, nice bit of protein. kfc other chicken providers are available. your reaction ? market gbnews.com. are reaction? market gbnews.com. are you offended by fat jokes? let's get the views of my top pundits

tonight. musician and journalist garry bushell, comedian and broadcaster sir gyles curci and the deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane. i'll start with you, garry. your reaction to this apology from this massive apology from richard curtis about a few gags from the 90s? >> i think it's pretty feeble really, but everything now is seen through this prism of wokeness and to me, this the whole thing with his daughter, it's almost like a sort of posh hampstead version of the style in this trial was where the children are brought on to denounce their parents for fought crime . and i do think, as fought crime. and i do think, as you said , i think, you know, if you said, i think, you know, if he's that upset about having made millions from doing these jokes, why don't he give the money to someone else? we'd all you know, it could benefit a lot of people. nothing wrong of people. there's nothing wrong with . point is, with a fat joke. the point is, there can be. the point is, what matters is. is the joke funny? that's the only thing that matters. you shouldn't have all these ridiculous can't ideas. can't say that. which is what the world has become now. you can't. know matters is,

can't. you know what matters is, is funny joke? and a lot of is it a funny joke? and a lot of people of people love those people lots of people love those shows. but noticed that a year shows. but i noticed that a year ago he almost to this day, he apologised for notting hill to. yeah. yeah. >> don't you. >> don't you. >> what are you sorry for, love, actually. he apologised for love, actually to, you know, it's like. was that it? he's a serial apologiser for it. >> well, that's and the >> well, that's it. and the problem rebecca, that if problem is, rebecca, that if you apologise, are feeding apologise, you are feeding the woke ever hungnen >> yeah, i mean, it is true. we have become a nation that's obsessed with apologies and this is bowing to the woke nonsense once again . do is bowing to the woke nonsense once again. do i think is bowing to the woke nonsense once again . do i think the jokes once again. do i think the jokes were funny or are funny? no, never . sorry, not my cup of tea, never. sorry, not my cup of tea, but i don't think that we should be apologising for everything. where do we draw a line like it's okay that this is how it was in years gone by. there's no judgement in that. as long as we learn and we do differently in future, stop apologising , for future, stop apologising, for goodness sakes. >> yes, well , sevilla, you are

>> yes, well, sevilla, you are a professional comedian . professional comedian. >> your reaction to this statement by richard curtis? >> well , firstly, i think they >> well, firstly, i think they should bring back balls of steel. i used to really enjoy that and don't ever apologise, mark for balls. feel it was top pakistan. i think gb news should remake it . i pakistan. i think gb news should remake it. i think they should. i think and i think you probably need a hostess with you on that show. >> i could do with a coke presenter. >> she'd have to be good because we're diverse. you know, we're going to like, me in going to have like, me in ticking the boxes. but no, ticking all the boxes. but no, the agreed with what the thing is, i agreed with what you richard you wrote. i think richard curtis having a conversation with his daughter and apologising to daughter. fair enough. i that. that's fine. enough. i get that. that's fine. but don't apologise. but you know, don't apologise. don't that don't don't make that public. don't make public because, yeah, make that public because, yeah, you dined out on it. and if you have dined out on it. and if you have dined out on it. and if you give your money you want to give your money away, could thank away, hey, i could use it. thank you. to go to a fat you. i'd love to go to a fat farm. know, have some farm. you know, and have some carrots to eat something for carrots to eat or something for very, expensive money. but very, very expensive money. but the is it's apologised for the point is it's apologised for the point is it's apologised for the and i think even the past and i think even editing stuff in the past to make it more sanitised for the, you know, the new sort of

precious luvvies like that. we've got out there now. i think it's, it's, it's really a dangerous ground because what we're doing is we're erasing history and that is what we were like then . and actually, he like then. and actually, he wasn't fat shaming , i think in wasn't fat shaming, i think in love, actually . he just says, love, actually. he just says, oh, she's a she's a chubby because somebody describes martin mchutchison as chubby and he says it in an affectionate way. in bridget jones's diary . way. in bridget jones's diary. she's actually the one that's actually obsessed with their own weight. and that was part of the thing is like, i'm never going to you thin enough and to be, you know, thin enough and i'm going to be pretty i'm never going to be pretty enough. these enough. and neither of these women fat, by the women were actually fat, by the way. you know, if you if you really had an issue around it, you'd got a bigger you'd actually have got a bigger woman feel woman again. hello. i can feel that part to. but yeah, i mean, woman again. hello. i can feel thustyart to. but yeah, i mean, woman again. hello. i can feel thust think. but yeah, i mean, woman again. hello. i can feel thust think goingveah, i mean, woman again. hello. i can feel thust think going backi mean, i just think going back historically changing things, i've fan this. i've never been a fan of this. i don't we're achieving don't know what we're achieving from sanitising don't know what we're achieving from that sanitising don't know what we're achieving from that is sanitising don't know what we're achieving from that is theanitising don't know what we're achieving from that is the waysing don't know what we're achieving from that is the way itg don't know what we're achieving from that is the way it was. people that is the way it was. hey richard, why don't you just make new films and you can make them the way that you want to

make them, that you don't feel is offending your daughter. you know, there is a bigger know, but there is a bigger pubuc know, but there is a bigger public that did enjoy public out there that did enjoy your me. your work, including me. >> and look, >> well, definitely. and look, i think that curtis is an think that richard curtis is an absolute genius . i'm think that richard curtis is an absolute genius. i'm his number one i don't he should one fan. i don't think he should have to apologise, but gary, this is the shape to this is the shape of things to come. we've seen a lot of come. and we've seen a lot of people from people we've seen the guy from bo, selecta lee francis, apologise character . as apologise for his character. as i understand that one of the actors in the inbetweeners has said it hasn't aged well , but said it hasn't aged well, but they were happy to take the money at the time and the fame and glory. but now they and the glory. but now they want to up drawbridge for to pull up the drawbridge for everyone to pull up the drawbridge for eve it's1e to pull up the drawbridge for eve it's a a modern disease, >> it's a it's a modern disease, isn't it's an obsession, isn't it? it's an obsession, really. find it very really. i find it very depressing. i mean, this this whole against comedians whole backlash against comedians and comedians being cancelled obviously started with benny hill , who was obviously started with benny hill, who was one of obviously started with benny hill , who was one of the hill, who was one of the loveliest men you could ever meet and was such a so going out of his way not to be offensive and was so misinterpreted, delivered by other people. and i just think it's time to really pull a stop this happening. it's

time to say all that matters with comedy is it funny and all that matters with drama , by the that matters with drama, by the way, is that it reflects real life. and that's what when you when you find the whole culture now of diversity applied to dramas like vera , for example, dramas like vera, for example, vera being one of the most ridiculous examples because vera in north of newcastle in rural in north of newcastle in rural in rural north—east, where the white population is like 97% and you still have this amazing cast of box ticking characters. you just think, oh, come on, just, just think, oh, come on, just, just tell a great story and reflect the reality of that era. >> are you bothered by fat jokes? >> do you still find notting hill and four weddings entertaining? let me know your thoughts. mark at gbnews.com now, coming up, hollywood celebrities are to celebrities are trying to dictate biden over the dictate to joe biden over the conflict middle east. the conflict in the middle east. the a—listers are in charge of a—listers are now in charge of foreign in america. foreign policy in america. plus, it's princess kate, the budget princess. we'll get reaction

wonderful to write, wonderful memories. >> may he rest in peace . okay, >> may he rest in peace. okay, well, look, let's get to some of the other stories in the papers . the other stories in the papers. and how about this? police under fire for allowing jihadi chant at protest . not not great. look at protest. not not great. look for the police. rebecca jane , for the police. rebecca jane, who seemed to be quite happy to visit people in their homes and arrest them for something unkind. said on facebook i >> yeah. yeah what can we say about that? again it's the woke culture that is just dividing our nation, isn't it? the too afraid to actually have a tough stance about anything today? and i think that policing priorities as a whole need to be looked at again because, you know, we're not being protected as a nation . not being protected as a nation. in the bowing down to the woke culture, what do people actually want ? and i culture, what do people actually want? and i don't think it's this no, i agree. >> it's a real worry . and it's >> it's a real worry. and it's terrifying that there are people in this country who feel that they can call out words like jihad with impunity . jihad with impunity. >> sevilla well, um , i don't

>> sevilla well, um, i don't know what to say about this really, because obviously it was a peaceful protest and there's just a few people that went in there that ruined it for everyone else. >> and like, i guess if everyone else was beat, i don't know why the police reasoning was to not because just because didn't they just say they a with him or they had a word with him or whoever? was one man they whoever? it was one man and they said , right, don't that. and said, right, don't do that. and i maybe they were i guess maybe they were considering arrested considering if they arrested him, have incited him, would that have incited other people, too? but overall , other people, too? but overall, all i'm getting from what you said earlier on that was a peaceful protest because i haven't seen it. i just saw the numbers. which are like the numbers. yeah which are like the antiwar march back in the day . antiwar march back in the day. women's huge express was women's march, huge express was splash, says that it was essentially a peaceful march that was infiltrate by militants. >> i mean i don't think i don't think anyone who is shouting out jihad is not really helping in any shape or form . any shape or form. >> it's not like it's not adding. it's a peaceful march saying, look , we want like, saying, look, we want like, obviously palestine not to suffer. so palestinian people i

don't think saying, you know, we want war, that's not helpful , want war, that's not helpful, you know, to you right . you know, to you right. >> we discussed this earlier in the show and it's in the sunday telegraph . gary, bbc bias has telegraph. gary, bbc bias has dangerous consequences for british jews and that's a former top figure within bbc management . but danny cohen yes. >> danny cohen yeah, he said the bbc's failures over its reporting of the israel—hamas conflict have a dangerous real world consequences for british jews . jews. >> and he's a former director of television in that's right. >> it's hard to it's hard to argue that, isn't it? i mean, i think that the misreporting of the shelling of the hospital as a jewish attack was seized upon by outlets like the bbc as being israeli aggression. yes. when it's now been effectively proved that it wasn't it was the effective jihad missile because it had it been an israeli missile, it had done a lot more damage than that.

>> indeed. i mean, can you say that the bbc is instituting anti—israel? is that a little harsh ? is that going too far ? harsh? is that going too far? >> i think it's pretty much anti anything to do with things that most people agree with, really. i think it's it seems to have a perverse pleasure in distancing itself from majority opinions on and from common sense in general. i just find it really depressing. i mean, you saw it right back as long ago as the falklands when they refused to broadcast ian curtis's falklands play. the idea that they might be on our side is just beyond them. they don't want to they don't want to go down that route. >> indeed. and it's a very, very thing for the bbc. if they lose the support of the jewish community in this country. >> rebecca jane, absolutely. >> rebecca jane, absolutely. >> thank goodness somebody has actually said some harsh words and called them out . but at what and called them out. but at what point, you know, this has been going for decades where we've going on for decades where we've been calling out about the bbc and about their bias on lots of

different and about their different topics and about their woke point woke agenda. at what point there's not many other channels who get it as much as the bbc. so at what point is something actually going to be done because it falls on deaf ears and ofcom are just sat on the backside doing nothing. but it's the bbc bias. >> where would you >> i mean, where would you identify that it identify bias issues that it that covers? identify bias issues that it tha well, vers? are definitely >> well, they are definitely wholeheartedly woke they all the trans ideology and all the rest of it. i absolutely do believe that you know and there was an idea that i was coming up with then about well, they got sued for what was it back in the 80s, political bias has been a stream going through it. you know, i thought i sat on this programme not so long ago and i think there of bias there was 27 instances of bias about the bbc, you know , it's about the bbc, you know, it's not the same. and actually there was politicians who sued the bbc and they won because of their bias. so this has been going on for decades. it's not new and we're all just sat around and letting it happen. >> so can i just play devil's advocate? >> because what isn't a bias,

you know, gb news has a bias. it depends on the editor. it depends on the editor. it depends on the editor. it depends on who's like a newspaper, a newspaper. >> but i guess . >> but i guess. >> but i guess. >> presenter we are our bulletins deliver the news and then our presenters have an opinion, they may think the opinion, but they may think the same thing. but every station, every you know, i don't know how you don't not have a bias. >> but uniquely the bbc are required by law to be impartial. >> they required by law. but they presenters that are they do have presenters that are clearly you can see you can see when someone's speaking which side of the fence they kind of sit on and they're trying, especially when they when they leave and start leave the bbc and start a podcast you realise just podcast and you realise just how. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> just how biased they actually are. >> i just, i just wonder how we regulate it. i mean it's, i think it's a difficult one because i don't, i don't know what any organisation they all have a bias, you know , and have a bias, you know, and that's the kind of i mean i get where you're going with it. >> quite agree. i do >> i don't quite agree. i do think that there are i do believe gb news is a lot believe that gb news is a lot more balanced and i can see the

agendas playing out with the bbc. we saw with covid, we saw it with lockdowns. we saw it with vaccinations. it was heavy handed narrative . one side. handed narrative. one side. >> there isn't most of the >> well, there isn't most of the media like that. >> not all, no. there's a lot of the media that's like it. but no, i don't think it's as like it as much as the bbc. >> i think we do. >> i think we do. >> there you go. >> well, there you go. >> well, there you go. >> listen, lots more stories to come, front plus my come, more front pages. plus my pundits nominating their pundits will be nominating their headune headline heroes and back page zeroes the day . lots to come. zeroes of the day. lots to come. see you
