6:07 pm
tonight. you know, i know this is going to sound a bit odd because i do work in the media, but you know, whenever i hear and see, just stop oil referenced in the media, it makes cringe. i honestly makes me cringe. i honestly think thing can do think the best thing we can do with absolute pillocks is with these absolute pillocks is ignore every time we ignore them every time we reference them, we give them the oxygen of publicity and the cycle doesn't cycle continues, doesn't it? what make all of that? what do you make to all of that? get in touch. let me know. i am with you till seven, as i say. and alongside me i've got the former editor of daily star former editor of the daily star dawn and a new face to dawn neesom and a new face to this show. not to the this show. but not to the channel. the former labour this show. but not to the channeimatt former labour this show. but not to the channeimatt lazor. r labour this show. but not to the channeimatt lazor. good)ur adviser matt lazor. good evening. lovely be with evening. it's lovely to be with you, michel. well let's see whether you still think whether or not you still think that by the end of all, you have me back. >> yeah, we'll ask. spoiler no. >> yeah, we'll ask. spoiler no. >> to >> but anyway, also, welcome to you, i won't say my you, dawn on i won't say my regular line. i've grown out of it now. >> yes, i've grown out it. >> yes, i've grown out of it. thank you, yeah. thank you, michel. yeah. >> you know the drill. you're on this show. it's not just about us is very much about us three. it is very much about you guys at home. what's your you guys at home. what's on your mind tonight? gb views a gbnews.com you reach me gbnews.com is how you reach me on email. or you can tweet
6:08 pm
on the email. or you can tweet me at gb news. let's start though. we shall off to our though. we shall head off to our political editor to get the very latest on the latest ridiculous scandal to plague the tory party. christopher, good evening to you . bring us up to speed, to you. bring us up to speed, christopher . christopher. >> evening. you will. well we are hearing today tonight that crispin blunt, he is the mp for reigate. >> he's named himself as as the as the man who was arrested yesterday morning by police in surrey on a position of suspicion of rape and possession of controlled substances. so before we report on this, an hour ago, we couldn't name the mp, but now we can name him as crispin blunt. he's an mp for reigate. he's held the seat since 1997. 18,310 majority 63. he is standing down next election. someone called rebecca paulis election. someone called rebecca paul is replacing him, but it's a further blow, i think, to the credibility and authority of the tory party >> and let me just ask you this,
6:09 pm
christopher, because this is this an unusual step for an mp? so you get this arrest and, you know, often there's this who is it? what's going on? the rumour mill kicks into action. so just to be clear, as i'm showing on the screen now, crispin , as you the screen now, crispin, as you just referenced yourself , he just referenced yourself, he basically outed himself as being the person that this report related to is that typical? does this normally happen? is this quite unusual? >> it's highly unusual. i mean, we as journalists have to be very careful not to go towards naming people arrested in in relation to these serious charges . since 2016, we haven't charges. since 2016, we haven't been able to name people in that because we're they're entitled to their privacy while they're investigated . and at the point investigated. and at the point of charging, we can sometimes name it is worth reading out the statement which which crispin blunt has just just released on twitter moments ago. he says it's been reported that an mp was arrested yesterday in connection with allegation of connection with an allegation of rape. confirming that mp was
6:10 pm
rape. i'm confirming that mp was me. the fact of the arrest requires a formal notification of the speaker and then my chief whip . i've now been interviewed whip. i've now been interviewed twice in connection with this incident. the first time three weeks ago when i initially reported my concern over over extortion. the second time was earlier this morning under caution following arrest. the arrest was unnecessary . as arrest was unnecessary. as i remain ready to cooperate fully with the investigation that i'm confident will end without charge . and he finally adds charge. and he finally adds crispin blunt, i do not intend to say anything further on this matter until the police have completed their inquiries. so it's worth again , the police it's worth again, the police investigation will go its own way and may or may not resolve itself before the election. but as we know, he's the mp for reigate . 18,310 majority mp reigate. 18,310 majority mp since 1997 was standing down, aged 63, has got a candidate to replace him, but we will wait to see how that plays out in coming weeks. >> just to help bring my viewers up to speed, christopher, so
6:11 pm
when this kind of thing happens, what automatically happens next is suspension. what's the process politically that will be undennay now ? undennay now? >> well, i've been in touch with the whips office tonight, and they have not said any action has been taken yet. the we don't know yet whether mr blunt, who of course, is innocent. and there's no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to go to work. but his work in the house of commons whether whether he might find himself not not going into into the house of commons and doing work or he may feel he can do again, this will play out in coming days in conjunction with mr blunt and the whips office. >> yeah. thank you, christopher, for bringing us up to speed with that one, i've got to say. right don rishi sunak right. he must. he must literally want to headbutt the desk every day of his job because it literally i think it was only he was it was it 24 hours ago. give or take, that we heard about the suspension action of peter byrne
6:12 pm
. we've had old pincher boy pincher. yeah we've had like it just seems to be absolutely relentless for the tories. >> it's not just the tories. let's make it clear this has happened across all political parties. i mean, sort of like you know, i think the problem you've got here is politics, a lot of industries, but politics in particular are full of very influential, powerful men. and many of the people that work for them and around them are young and keen to get on. as i said, this isn't just politics. this appuesin this isn't just politics. this applies in many, many businesses. as well. and i think there is also a lot of alcohol involved. i'm not talking about this case in particular, but there is also lot of alcohol there is also a lot of alcohol involved. there are more involved. i think there are more bars the house bars than crashes in the house of commons. i you've probably beenin of commons. i you've probably been in most them, so you can been in most of them, so you can tell matthew, but think, tell us, matthew, but i think, you any business, you know, any any business, whether powerful whether rich, powerful men with a of influence, i think it's a lot of influence, i think it's a lot of influence, i think it's a dangerous mixture when you've got youngsters working . i'm not got youngsters working. i'm not talking case, the talking about this case, by the way, i'm not surprised.
6:13 pm
way, but i'm not surprised. it happens in politics and we happens a lot in politics and we get hear about it lot get to hear about it a lot because they are, at the end of the day, servants. the day, public servants. >> us do you think >> tell us then, do you think obviously, because this is an ongoing investigation, going ongoing investigation, i'm going to from the to step away slightly from the crispin situation and broaden it out politics and parliament out to politics and parliament more broadly. do you think there is some kind of sleaze culture in parliament? because dawn mentions, oh yeah, this goes on all over different workplaces , all over different workplaces, but specifically in parliament. do you think it's worse in there or what? >> so i think i think it's heightened in parliament because of the very peculiar nature of parliament as a workplace, because it's not a 9 to 5 workplace now. >> no, the hours have changed a lot. people are still there into the evenings least once, the evenings at least once, twice when the house is twice a week when the house is sitting. and as dawn says, the other difference is, unlike most workplaces, they're not full of bars. and we've seen with bars. and as we've seen with other necessarily other people, not necessarily sexual the sexual allegations, but the labour who's, know, labour mp who who's, you know, who's now recovering alcoholic who's now a recovering alcoholic who's now a recovering alcoholic who himself trouble who got himself into trouble for racist he said. so, racist things, that he said. so, you know, because he because
6:14 pm
he'd had certainly at least one, if not several too many. i mean, i think interesting thing i think the interesting thing about this, know, i'm a gay man and, when and, you know, when i first started to house of started going to the house of commons and working in there 30 years attitudes have years ago, attitudes have totally changed. and of course, one things that we're one of the things that we're struck is with yesterday's case of others is of peter bone and others is people who, you know, crispin blunt, fair, is an blunt, to be fair, is an outgoing. he out and all of outgoing. he came out and all of that. have that. but attitudes have changed. sometimes changed. but sometimes that takes to feed through takes a long way to feed through into politics and people's into politics and how people's behaviour you mean. >> what are you what point are you making? no. >> so mean, what we what >> so i mean, what we what i mean is, is that in the tory party a lot of people were party but a lot of people were in the closet. it was very very and parliament. what's that got to sexual misconduct? to do with sexual misconduct? no, no. well, what think it no, no. well, what i think it doesisit no, no. well, what i think it does is it bred a culture where people and were does is it bred a culture where peo open and were does is it bred a culture where peo open with and were does is it bred a culture where peo open with themselves were does is it bred a culture where peo open with themselves about not open with themselves about what they did. so people did things were that were things that were that were wrong. i think, know, wrong. and i think, you know, we've seen in the chris we've seen that in the chris pincher as well. pincher instance as well. people, were doing people, people were were doing things that they shouldn't be doing. think now to answer doing. and i think now to answer your first question, michel, is
6:15 pm
that there's a much open that there's a much more open culture. we have culture. thank goodness we have a of a much higher percentage of women, labour mps are women, 50% of labour mps are women, 50% of labour mps are women, does change the women, which does change the atmosphere because atmosphere of the place because let's not let's remind ourselves, not a single one of these cases involves a woman. you know why? >> i mean, we debated this the other because other day actually, because there from one of there was a report from one of there was a report from one of the and it said that in the bodies and it said that in all the investigations that had done related to done into misconduct related to parliament rest of parliament and all the rest of it, alcohol was it, that alcohol was a significant factor in loads of them. i do not understand for them. i do not understand for the me why we continue the life of me why we continue to yes, i'm yes, i'm to have and yes, i'm yes, i'm cross the that it's cross about the fact that it's subsidised, but let's just even move from that. why does move on from that. why does there need to be a bar serving alcohol westminster? alcohol in westminster? >> doesn't they should. >> multiple by the way, there's not just one. >> there is an awful >> yeah, there is an awful lot. yeah. and up until recent i think it was about1 or 2 think it was about 1 or 2 crashes as well. as you said, many, more female mps and many, many more female mps and one think rishi sunak one do you think rishi sunak should them should just shut them down? i think as matthews alluded to, though, the have though, i mean, the hours have got they are very got better, but they are very antisocial hours as well. >> what what that mean? >> so what what does that mean? does that mean that because
6:16 pm
people work less producing people here work less producing programs that don't programs here, that we don't have pop up for them have a bar pop up bar for them here, work working doesn't here, work working late doesn't mean employer has to mean that your employer has to provide within your office. >> it doesn't. it doesn't. and when i used to edit a newspaper, we actually had a bar. we did have a bar in the building, by the the newspaper industry the way, the newspaper industry and the finance industry don't cover in cover themselves in glory in this area either. but we used to have a bar in the building. you know michel? as editor, know what, michel? as editor, i would had a in the would rather we had a bar in the building. i knew where my building. so i knew where my staff were rather hunting staff were rather than hunting round to track round the local pubs to track them down. >> like the old days on fleet street. >> exactly that. that. >> exactly that. exactly that. so look, i look in an ideal world, no, there is no need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar, no, there is no need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar oro, there is no need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any ere is no need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any bars; no need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any bars too need for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any bars to be eed for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any bars to be ind for so look, i look in an ideal wbar or any bars to be in the' a bar or any bars to be in the house of parliament. but there are and think maybe less of are and i think maybe less of them, but i it is part of them, but i think it is part of it and i it's fine. it and i think it's fine. >> do you think they should stop serving alcohol in westminster? >> certainly there >> yeah, i think certainly there needs change in the needs to be a real change in the culture, whether you have 1 or 2 bars, you have visitors coming in. but the idea people in. but the idea that people that be a mark of

6:18 pm
6:19 pm
6:20 pm
>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> hi there. i'm michelle dewberry and i'm with you till
6:21 pm
7:00 tonight. so rishi sunak has been speaking out today about the dangers of artificial intelligence. let's have a little listen to some of the things he had to say. >> get this wrong and i could make it easier to build chemical or biological weapons as terrorist groups could use ai or biological weapons as terrorist groups could use al to spread fear and destruction on an even greater scale. all criminals could exploit ai for cyber attacks. disinfo summation fraud or even child sexual abuse. and in the most unlikely but extreme cases , as there is but extreme cases, as there is even the risk that humanity could lose control of ai completely through the kind of ai sometimes referred to as superintelligence . superintelligence. >> i mean, after some of those warnings as well, i have to say that he's that he goes after talking about human extinction, etcetera , he goes, this is not etcetera, he goes, this is not a risk that people need to be losing sleep over right now. and i don't want to sound alarmist. i don't want to sound alarmist. i mean, as if we've not got enough to lose sleep over, quite
6:22 pm
frankly. now we have to learn that actually ai is going to come along and us all out. come along and wipe us all out. but don't worry about all is but don't worry about it. all is apparent. going to be well now i've actually got someone to join me down line this join me down the line on this one to say, if one because i have to say, if i ask most people or a lot of people what is artificial intelligence, suspect a intelligence, i suspect that a lot might not even lot of people might not even know answer to that. and why know the answer to that. and why should rohit talwar he is should you? rohit talwar he is alongside us now. evening alongside us now. good evening to me start that to you. let me start with that question you, question directly to you, please. you help my audience please. can you help my audience understand what artificial understand what is artificial intelligence ? intelligence? >> well, idea is firstly, >> well, the idea is firstly, good evening. the idea is that we're trying to create some software that mirrors the way humans think. software that mirrors the way humans think . and the ultimate humans think. and the ultimate goalis humans think. and the ultimate goal is to get to something that's called artificial general intelligence, where we have systems that can do all the things that a human can in a cognitive way. so thinking , cognitive way. so thinking, planning, reasoning under standing language, all of those kinds of things. we're not there yet , but we're kinds of things. we're not there yet, but we're starting to
6:23 pm
kinds of things. we're not there yet , but we're starting to see yet, but we're starting to see systems that are incredibly powerful and beginning to give us a taste of what i might do in the longer term. um, yeah. >> i mean , we're hearing a test >> i mean, we're hearing a test from rishi sunak helping terrorists , helping potentially terrorists, helping potentially wiping us off the face of the earth . do you think that al is a earth. do you think that al is a force for good or not? >> it's both . so there are all >> it's both. so there are all the risks. he talked about. when you've got software that's that powerful, i'm sure a lot of people here will have used chatgpt or bot or bing and been amazed that just how clever they are , even though they're not are, even though they're not really thinking at all, they're just predicting what might be coming next in terms of the next word. but they're already incredibly powerful. so you're seeing them being used for immense good in healthcare here. you're also seeing them pose the kind of risks that rishi sunak talked about. so it's both. it the ai will help us dramatically improve people's healthcare because we'll be able to get
6:24 pm
better diagnoses faster. we'll better diagnoses faster. we'll be able to discover drugs that are more effective . we'll be are more effective. we'll be able to get personalised education so our kids don't get left behind. but on the other hand, we run the risk of being surveilled , being monitored all surveilled, being monitored all the time, every thing you do, every transaction you make , every transaction you make, being analysed , people being analysed, people weaponizing all sorts of devices and all of the things he talked about. so right now we're at a very early stage and there's a big argument about whether we should try and regulate this. the eu , i think, is doing the the eu, i think, is doing the right thing in trying to regulate in advance of these developments. the uk is saying let's wait, but we know what happens when you wait . let's wait, but we know what happens when you wait. you let's wait, but we know what happens when you wait . you get happens when you wait. you get the kind of mess we have now when we're trying to regulate social media and we're trying to regulate the internet, whereas with at least have a very with al, we at least have a very good sense of where it could go. so we could have quite good
6:25 pm
regulation quite quickly if we wanted to, and that might actually give britain a competitive advantage . competitive advantage. >> let me ask you a final question, brief answer, if you will. do people need to worry about their jobs to artificial intelligence ? intelligence? >> people need to worry about their learning and their education. i think everyone's jobs are always at risk in the long term . ai will take a lot of long term. ai will take a lot of jobs , but new jobs will be jobs, but new jobs will be created. and what we need to be making sure we're doing is a learning about al, but also making sure that we are thinking about what job would we do next and starting to acquire those skills because no one is safe. and the more all the work we do is repetitive lviv, the more chance there is that that could be replaced by ai . in singapore, be replaced by ai. in singapore, there are already replacing some of their tv presenters with fake, if you like, versions of those presenters and cor blimey , those presenters and cor blimey, i better watch myself then i better watch myself. >> that's right.
6:26 pm
better watch myself. >> that's right . tao then. better watch myself. >> that's right. tao then. he is an expert in al. thank you for bringing us up to speed with some of that. hey, there you go. so do we have to watch our jobs? talking about tv presenters, maybe i'm skating on thin ice. maybe i'm skating on thin ice. maybe i'm skating on thin ice. maybe i'm on borrowed time. >> how do you know matthew and i aren't ai bots? i'll aren't actually ai bots? i'll try. i'll pinch you both. i'll pretend i'm far away. i'll pretend i'm far away. i'll pretend a tory mp, i'll pretend i'm a tory mp, and i'll have a grab in the break and i'll feed back after the break. >> well, do you think i do you think a force for good or not? >> i think it can be both. it is doing amazing thing in medical advancement the we learn advancement and the way we learn about certain viruses and certainly in breast cancer have been amazing advances as well. however, it does worry me and what worried me in particular was the fact that , you know, i, was the fact that, you know, i, i thought, okay, it's men invented it or women inventing it, it's people inventing it. so it, it's people inventing it. so it can't be that much clever than because we're making it than us because we're making it stupidly . we've invented ai that stupidly. we've invented ai that goes on to invent other ai. so we have no idea what it is doing
6:27 pm

6:30 pm
it will become more than capable of replacing most occupations . of replacing most occupations. paul says when we're talking about whether or not i could do tv presenting and i said, maybe my job is in danger, he said, don't worry, michel. it's easy to spot ai. it's superintelligence . so i think superintelligence. so i think we'll able the we'll be able to tell the difference you and ai. difference between you and ai. my bunch . my view is are a harsh bunch. >> that's not very that's a good job. >> i've got thick skin. now, listen, on this parliament story, parliamentarian story that we were talking about earlier on, crispin blunt, i mentioned if you're just tuned earlier on, crispin blunt, i me he's|ed if you're just tuned earlier on, crispin blunt, i me he's basically�*re just tuned earlier on, crispin blunt, i me he's basically outed: tuned earlier on, crispin blunt, i me he's basically outed himself in, he's basically outed himself as the tory mp that's been arrested for rape. and you know, i'm not going to pre—empt the outcome of that investigation. i shall leave it there. but as christopher hope was saying , it christopher hope was saying, it is quite unusual for people to kind take that step and kind of take that step and proactive to say it's me removing the suspicion . et removing the suspicion. et cetera. and wondering from cetera. and the wondering from everyone else, wondering what's gone on. lots of my viewers tonight got in touch and tonight have got in touch and said, matt, could you ask sorry, michel, ask matt what is
6:31 pm
michel, can you ask matt what is the situation with nick brown ? the situation with nick brown? >> so, nick brown, who was >> yes. so, nick brown, who was the formerly the labour chief whip both gordon and whip, both for gordon brown and tony currently tony blair, is currently suspended party . suspended from the labour party. i'm not absolutely whether i'm not absolutely sure whether the are investigating or the police are investigating or whether waiting for the whether labour's waiting for the outcome of that. do we know what he's done? >> no . >> no. >> no. >> i mean , no, it would be, >> i mean, no, it would be, i mean i, i can, we can speculate but it wouldn't be a good idea. but i think that they. >> do you think we should know what he's done? >> i think we need to find out what's happened, because it is a question lot of question actually that a lot of people ask is, know, and as people ask is, you know, and as dawn important dawn says, it's important that both because, you know, it's not one it's one party or or the other, it's both parties, all parties because , for example, because the snp, for example, is another big bunch of them in parliament have had their problems. i think we to problems. so i think we need to we out. but nick we need to find out. but nick remains suspended. well, investigation keir starmer is managing . managing that properly. >> are you by not telling anyone what's going on? >> well, that they will >> well, i think that they will be for outcome of be waiting for the outcome of the but they be waiting for the outcome of the they but they be waiting for the outcome of the they biflaming well be waiting for the outcome of the on they biflaming well be waiting for the outcome of the on with biflaming well be waiting for the outcome of the on with it biflaming well be waiting for the outcome of the on with it is biflaming well get on with it is what i would say, we. get on with it is what i would say how we. get on with it is what i would say how “has been now? >> how long has it been now? >> how long has it been now? >> well, it's fair for nick >> well, it's not fair for nick either, then nick's in
6:32 pm
either, because then nick's in this know this limbo and he doesn't know whether next whether he can stand at the next election. and actually, with the timetable ticking to the next election, that then becomes an issue nick. and it's not issue for nick. and it's not necessarily sexual misconduct allegations, but are allegations, but there are various of both various other mps of both parties there are parties where there are allegations and issues around. parties where there are allegatcourse d issues around. parties where there are allegatcourse , issues around. parties where there are allegatcourse , you|es around. parties where there are allegatcourse , you know,und. parties where there are allegatcourse , you know, it's. and of course, you know, it's their job. we need they need to know whether they can stand to be an mp again. be there to be an mp again. so they more importantly, they need more importantly, those taxpayers who pay the salaries these people. salaries of these people. >> deserve to know who these >> we deserve to know who these people are, what they're accused of, and all the rest of it. you know, there's too much stuff going in parliament at the going on in parliament at the moment, and quite rightly to point out, this is a tory point out, this is not a tory problem. it does seem to be a much broader westminster problem . um, and i'm interested, what do you guys think is at the heart of some of this? if you ask me, egos are playing a big part in some of this. a lot of mps, they think they're celebrities don't celebrities these days, don't they? think just they? and i think that just gives them kind of sense gives them this kind of sense that do and say that they can perhaps do and say and act as they like . what do and act as they like. what do you make to all i'm going to bnng you make to all i'm going to bring some more of your comments
6:33 pm
in the break. i've got in after the break. i've got a lot coming the lot more coming up in the programme. so do not go anywhere. talk about anywhere. i want to talk about the legal the government facing a legal challenge in just after challenge in just a second after the and i also want to the break. and i also want to ask you're out work as ask you if you're out of work as ask you if you're out of work as a parent, should you now have to spend looking spend 30 hours a week looking for a job? if you want to keep your benefits, tell me and i'll see you .
6:34 pm
6:35 pm
6:36 pm
radio. >> hi there, i'm michelle dewberry sl7, the former editor of the daily star. dawn neesom am is alongside me, as is the former labour adviser matt laws . former labour adviser matt laws. dawn just reminded me of something in the break as well, which is we got our radio listening figures out today and i actually forgot to mention it. so these figures so apologies. these figures for this doubled . so this show have doubled. so i just want say a quick thank just want to say a quick thank you you that are you to all of you that are listening on radio listening on the radio as i speak. i very much appreciate it.thank speak. i very much appreciate it. thank you . and wesley, he's it. thank you. and wesley, he's actually watching on youtube
6:37 pm
here. you get this, everybody. he's in georgia , in the usa. he's in georgia, in the usa. wow. travelled all that far ? all wow. travelled all that far? all that distance. welcome and welcome to all of you. anyway, quite frankly, wherever you you are. now, this i found fascinating . the government fascinating. the government i mean, literally day in the mean, literally a day in the life sunak. i wonder if life of rishi sunak. i wonder if he regrets the he ever literally regrets the day that he put his hat in the ring for this job because not a day goes by without yet another problem, so it seems. but anyway, the government is now facing action over the use facing legal action over the use of wethersfield airbase . this is of wethersfield airbase. this is obviously essex to house the obviously an essex to house the migrants there. the charity, you guessed it, care for calais says that this airbase has actually become a de facto prison camp. they go on to say they talking about the population, the migrant population being segregated from the locals . segregated from the locals. they're saying that the base has got security fences, is monitored 24/7 by on site security guards and cctv. they say there's no pavements on the road around the sites and no
6:38 pm
pubuc road around the sites and no public transport. they say that this kind of segregation is basically likely their words, not mine, likely to lead to the migrants. stigmatisation and degradation and loss of dignity , degradation and loss of dignity, he said. people have told the charity , see, those people charity, see, those people living there say that they feel like they are being imprisoned . like they are being imprisoned. >> and i have never read so much tosh in my life. no surprise that this is in the guardian newspaper for the legal challenge has been launched by care for carl, as you've just said, accusing the government of segregate nation by nationality, i.e. racism. that one again, it's like, no, no, it's segregation because they're asylum seekers and they have to be put somewhere and we can't afford to carry on paying £7 million a day for hotels. so we have them somewhere. what have to put them somewhere. what do do with them? do people want to do with them? look, obviously in an ideal world, the asylum world, we thought the asylum system people aren't held system out so people aren't held too long in any place before their asylum applications are processed. is processed. but this is ridiculous and you know, the fact there's barbed around
6:39 pm
fact there's barbed wires around the place. yeah, because that was was stop was an army base. it was to stop people in, not to step, people getting in, not to step, getting out. i mean, they getting people out. i mean, they can out, can walk out. can get out, they can walk out. they're not in they're not they're not in prison. it's a ridiculous story. it is. it really is. >> and you're not having any of it? not at it? no not at all. >> yeah, look, mean , the >> yeah, look, i mean, the asylum just such asylum system is just such a mess, isn't it? i mean, the key thing we need to get the thing is we need to get the asylum cases processed much asylum cases processed so much faster. you know, i look at the figures up yesterday , it's. we figures up yesterday, it's. we are the basically we in ireland take about 20 months on average in in austria it's three. and in most countries it's six in europe. and of course they all use former army bases in germany and countries people and other countries which people like think like care for. carl, you'd think we'd i just we'd be very pro, so i just think it's a daft challenge. it is absolute wrong that we're keeping people because the taxpayers are paying and taxpayers are paying for it and the the asylum seekers the and the asylum seekers are doing nothing . so it's waste doing nothing. so it's a waste of everybody's time and money that kept for that people have been kept for so but people have so long. but while people have to system speeded to until the system is speeded up, labour has actually got a plan to double the number of civil we at civil servants so that we at least so at least we least on this. so at least we get the done the
6:40 pm
get the cases done to get the bill hotels but bill for the hotels down. but whilst i think this is whilst they do, i think this is just and what just a daft, daft and what people calais people like care for calais do is they bring the they bring into of into into disrepute a kind of sensible critique of the asylum system. just it's system. so it's just it's annoying those of us are annoying for those of us who are critical of how the government handles of >> just distract one of my viewers, says, has viewers, keith, he says, has anyone actually any time anyone actually spent any time looking accommodation looking at migrant accommodation in of the world? in the rest of the world? >> why is uk expected to attend five far higher standards of accommodation and support for migrant than seemingly anywhere else ? else? >> exactly. he's absolutely right, other right, because in other countries it's basically form. it's form , you it's like this, it's form, you know, are know, military bases that are used . you know, when germany used. you know, when germany took a million people in in 2015, they were all in 2015, 2016, they were all in former military bases because it was literally nowhere else to putand i believe, >> and germany, i believe, actually actually used, you know, didn't know, tents, marquees, didn't they? and it's like when we even suggested everyone up suggested that everyone threw up their you their hands in horror, you racist you do racist hell, how dare you do that? europe does that . that? europe does that. >> david says it's funny how all these military bases deemed these military bases were deemed suitable our heroes, our suitable for our heroes, our veterans . et cetera. but all of veterans. et cetera. but all of a sudden, if you claim to want
6:41 pm
to put asylum seekers in, all of a they're absolutely not a sudden they're absolutely not suitable for that. bibby suitable for that. the bibby stockholm, of suitable for that. the bibby stocwill m, of suitable for that. the bibby stocwill m, familiar of suitable for that. the bibby stocwill m, familiar with of you will be familiar with was used workers. it's used for construct workers. it's all right those guys, but all right for those guys, but apparently we are. >> going to use it students. >> they bibby stockholm in >> they bibby stockholm mean, in ireland, our students it. >> it. w it. rm- >> come and be fair. >> come and be fair. >> i mean? you get >> you know what i mean? you get in trouble for saying >> you know what i mean? you get in troi'mz for saying >> you know what i mean? you get in troi'm about for saying >> you know what i mean? you get in troi'm about to for saying >> you know what i mean? you get in troi'm about to fbutaying >> you know what i mean? you get in troi'm about to fbut farig what i'm about to say, but far be me to state an be it from me to state an unpopular view. there a unpopular view. but there is a responsibility that the government actually to responsibility that the gov citizens: actually to responsibility that the gov citizens to actually to responsibility that the govcitizens to keep|ally to responsibility that the gov citizens to keep usy to responsibility that the govcitizens to keep us safe. to responsibility that the govcitizens to keep us safe. and uk citizens to keep us safe. and many of these people crossing the channel, we have no idea whatsoever who those people are and or what their intentions are . they discard proactively their identification documents a little bit weird if you ask me, because if you want to get asylum, you'd be trying to speed up your process, not hinder it. >> week germany has >> this very week germany has made germany is made that alexa. what germany is introducing they made that alexa. what germany is introd on1g they made that alexa. what germany is introd on yesterday, they made that alexa. what germany is introd on yesterday, would' voted on yesterday, which would enable go into enable the police to go into accommodation. asylum seekers are in to find documents. they're changing the law because that's that's a problem. so i think in britain that's that's a problem. so i thirall in britain that's that's a problem. so i thirall it's in britain that's that's a problem. so i thirall it's all in britain that's that's a problem. so i thirall it's all it'sin britain that's that's a problem. so i thirall it's all it's the ritain we all say it's all it's the european convention on human rights, else's rights, it's all somebody else's
6:42 pm
fault. other fault. it's not because other countries are signed up to the same rules are a lot same the same rules are a lot firmer and a lot harder. this is choices government choices the british government makes. what? i also >> and you know what? i also remember a few years ago and i'm sure it was isis were making claims that actually they wanted to use refugee crisis and migrant crisis to help send what they would refer to as kind of isis foot soldiers or whatever the terminology or terminology was into different was over into different countries . so sometimes i have countries. so sometimes i have to do actually want there to say i do actually want there to say i do actually want there to be checks, balances and security people that we do security when people that we do not know who they are are being housed. maybe i'm old fashioned, you get touch tell me you get in touch and tell me your thoughts on all of that. jackie says, michelle, i was watching gb news whilst i was in dubaion watching gb news whilst i was in dubai on my friend's iptv. brilliant loved it. welcome. you are very welcome indeed. now after the break, i'll bring you back into the conversation, but i also want to ask you, if you're a jobless parent and you're a jobless parent and you're for work, what you're looking for work, what would think having to would you think now to having to spend 30 hours a week looking for if you want to for a job? if you want to keep

6:48 pm
in any case. so the fact that parents on benefits are they don't get free childcare at the moment. so how are they meant to spend more time looking for work if they haven't got anyone to care for their children? this is theissue care for their children? this is the issue i have with that. no one's explained that in one's actually explained that in this now, you know , you this story. now, you know, you you the internet when you can use the internet when your there. you can use the internet when your parents, 'e. you can use the internet when your parents, most parents >> most parents, most parents have no problem spending. god knows day knows how many hours a day looking social looking at instagram or social media. they can spend that time on internet. media. they can spend that time on yeah,ternet. media. they can spend that time on yeah, no, et. media. they can spend that time on yeah, no, absolutely. media. they can spend that time on absolutely. bsolutely. media. they can spend that time on absolutely. no.utely. media. they can spend that time on absolutely. no one's >> absolutely. no one's denying that there are people that are swinging it were . swinging the lead, as it were. we that we all know people in that situation. i do worry that situation. but i do worry that with this announcement, there are of families out there are a lot of families out there who everybody who will struggle. not everybody is fortunate enough to have access to decent wi—fi , to have access to decent wi—fi, to have access to decent wi—fi, to have access to decent wi—fi, to have access to proper computers in their home. and, you know, i think and this actively involves going and out and looking for work as well, not just sitting in doors on a computer. and if you can't get child care, i do wonder how people are going to cope single women cope, especially single women and, you know, there's the
6:49 pm
