9:05 pm
continuing this is gb news across the uk on tv, in your car on your digital radio and on your smart speaker by saying play gb news. now it's back to . patrick >> well, it looks like it's actually happening, doesn't it? plans are afoot for a million person pro palestine march on armistice day . i actually can't armistice day. i actually can't believe how disrespectful and distasteful this is . i think if distasteful this is. i think if people felt truly british, there is no way on earth they would organise marches over remembrance weekend. no way at all. one of the organisers has rallied protesters to make the 11th of november national march even bigger than the half a million that paraded through london last weekend. one of the groups behind it wants to do things like boycott israel and boycott coca cola, boycott puma. in case you didn't guess, it, it has another aim. the right to
9:06 pm
boycott. yes, that's right. boycott hp, the technology company, not the source, as far as i can tell. their catchiest one yet, i think for me was pre—taped tied apparently pret a manger wants to open in israel and they must be stopped, to be honest , and they must be stopped, to be honest, i'm surprised the pro—palestine lot don't want israelis to be inflicted with a pret on every corner charging £10 for bang. average sandwich £10 for a bang. average sandwich . support the right to . look, i support the right to protest. i support the right to have voices heard. and i understand that people feel incredibly strongly about what's going on between israel and hamas and the plight of people on both sides of that conflict . on both sides of that conflict. can't they have a weekend off? isn't that common decency to remember the people who fought and died for their right to be able to have these kinds of demonstrate actions? i think this is a visible sign that some people must not feel proud to be british. if they truly felt pride in our country , there's no pride in our country, there's no way they'd have a demonstration . way they'd have a demonstration. i don't think that anybody who felt truly british would spend the remembrance weekend surrounding the cenotaph
9:07 pm
climbing on statues, letting off flares and chanting from the river to the sea, all being associated with anyone or any event that will inevitably lead to that . armistice day and to that. armistice day and remembrance sunday are key dates in the british national calendar. they are not to be messed with. so i thought, surely, surely some people helping to organise this 1 million person march on armistice day just haven't thought it through. okay, maybe that's the excuse. they just haven't thought it through. surely if it's actually pointed out to them that it might be offensive to do it on remembrance weekend, they would come to their senses . we come to their senses. we actually put a call into one of the people involved in the march and asked for their response to concerns , learns that they were concerns, learns that they were hosting it on that particular weekend. just quipped , are weekend. they just quipped, are you not concerned a genocide is taking place and people are being killed you're worried being killed and you're worried about some flags over the cenotaph? we explained the cenotaph? we explained to the chap cenotaph and chap that the cenotaph and remembrance is dear to remembrance weekend is dear to the of people . a the hearts of british people. a
9:08 pm
national of mourning of national day of mourning of remembrance for our war heroes . remembrance for our war heroes. but the sentiment seem to be lost on him. pressed again on why they chose remembrance weekend and whether they would pay weekend and whether they would pay respects to our war heroes for the minute's silence, the man huffed and puffed before demanding that we don't call him again. and then he hung up. yeah. okay our brave military veterans were on the right side of history. they've done more for this world and this country than most people who've ever lived , or these protesters. in lived, or these protesters. in my view , who will be on the my view, who will be on the wrong side of history if they march on that weekend and in my view, they undermine our military heroes, sacrifice . but military heroes, sacrifice. but let's get the thoughts of my panel. let's get the thoughts of my panel . i've got daily telegraph panel. i've got daily telegraph columnist allison pearson. i've got conservative peer lord shaun bailey, and i've got author and broadcaster amy nicole turner, massively emotive issue this and a very, very complex one. and i'm not going to try to make out like it isn't. but alison, i do think that if people truly felt british, there is no way in hell
9:09 pm
that they will be marching on remembrance weekend . remembrance weekend. >> they don't feel >> well, they don't feel british, patrick? and british, do they, patrick? and that's the huge problem. i mean, i'm really worried about it. i think this is a potential tinderbox. you would have in london on the armistice weekend. not this weekend. the weekend after . you would have the most after. you would have the most patriotic people in the country that's serving members of our armed services, veterans who come to london for that very, very sacred weekend in the calendar . incredibly solemn calendar. incredibly solemn moments at the cenotaph . and moments at the cenotaph. and then have people, many of then you'd have people, many of whom this country at whom don't like this country at all. so the stage is set for something potentially violent . something potentially violent. and we've seen police in the last few weekends not really policing, seeing police being mocked by the demonstrators. i don't know if you saw one policeman was trying to coax a guy down off a monument and the guy down off a monument and the guy came down and the policeman said, do that again, and said, if you do that again, and all said, yeah, what all the crowd said, yeah, what are going about it? to are you going to do about it? to are you going to do about it? to a member of the police force? so are you going to do about it? to
9:10 pm
a mwis|ber of the police force? so are you going to do about it? to a mis aer of the police force? so are you going to do about it? to a mis a very,the police force? so are you going to do about it? to a mis a very, very olice force? so are you going to do about it? to a mis a very, very worrying e? so this is a very, very worrying situation. and what are situation. and what we are seeing is the appeasement of these people. mustn't these people. we mustn't exacerbate community tensions. patrick but that's this is the point though, because it is exacerbating community tensions and there is only so much that certain people take. certain people will take. >> that a sacred weekend >> and that is a sacred weekend in british national in the british national calendar. and to see that disrupted by people think disrupted by people i think actually has a massive potential to kick off. lord shaun bailey , to kick off. lord shaun bailey, you're a politician. how on earth can somebody organise protests and demonstrations in the capital city on that weekend? does it need politicians? does it need political approval? does it need approval from the police? i don't know. >> i want to very clear about >> i want to be very clear about this. this demonstration should be ahead , but it be allowed to go ahead, but it shouldn't be allowed go shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere near the cenotaph. they've and they've said it won't. and that's but the point was the point was the intention was to do that. and this decision actually shouldn't have lied with because the with the police because the police's is they have to police's problem is they have to allow because allow the demonstration because it's legal , the it's legal. if it's legal, the police have to let it happen.
9:11 pm
but front of the but it's going in front of the cenotaph. should cenotaph. actually should have been decision been the decision of a politician stop it. if you politician to stop it. if you look at how germany has reacted, france they've said france has reacted. they've said actually, only take so actually, we will only take so much. you why. much. and i'll tell you why. this is important. if you really support the palestinians and you want britain to join want the rest of britain to join you, cannot do these actions you, you cannot do these actions as it not it will not as it will not it will not endear you to people who are sitting on the fence. it will put the country somewhere else and the most important thing our veterans fought to make this possible action possible, the kind of action they want take now is almost they want to take now is almost impossible anywhere the impossible anywhere else in the world veterans world because they're veterans didn't same kind of didn't ask for the same kind of outcome. >> amy, put it to you. the >> amy, i put it to you. the only it's allowed to only reason it's allowed to happen country happen in this country is because don't tear because we don't get the tear gas out the french. gas out like the french. >> i think it's much for peace and the protests that we've seen so far have outnumbered those. we against the war we saw in 2003 against the war in the biggest antiwar in iraq, the biggest antiwar protests since 2003, 75% of people support a ceasefire and a day of remembrance for those lost in war. surely it's the perfect day to march for peace when there are 9000. we have
9:12 pm
civilians dead marches, let alone peace, let alone we've seen seven arrests. you get more. there should have been a lot more football match. should ijust lot more football match. should i just point out as well that it's a day of remembrance for those lost to war? at the moment, has a moment, israeli has a conscription, the young conscription, so the young israelis forced to israelis are being forced to serve on the front line. so for they are they are coming from national service. they don't have a choice . have a choice. >> they can refuse. you can't refuse serve their country. you can refuse. you can refuse. it's not there are a lot of people. >> it is not a march. >> it is not a march. >> why does 75% they are calling for a ceasefire. >> a ceasefire is exactly what hamas wants because they want to stop the israeli forces coming in and destroying their , you in and destroying their, you know, their hellish control they have over amy, would you support these protests and these demonstrations and their right to do it if they don't observe the minute silence and they ruin that? >> there is no sign that they're going to do it bang on 11 am. and also, you need to remember
9:13 pm
that this is this is a day when there hundreds firework there are hundreds of firework displays going in the evening displays going on in the evening of saturday, november the 11th, which no one seems to have a problem with plenty of other events happening on november problem with plenty of other eve 11th. happening on november problem with plenty of other eve 11th. why ppening on november problem with plenty of other eve 11th. why are ning on november problem with plenty of other eve 11th. why are you on november problem with plenty of other eve 11th. why are you frowningnber the 11th. why are you frowning at me ? at me? >> because i've never been to a firework display. have you been to to the sea? to the river? to the sea? exactly the point is. the point. is the is this. is this the point? is this. >> the point is this. this is a significant, arguably the single most in modern most significant thing in modern british history. this celebration remembrance day. celebration or remembrance day. right. something right. to have something else from politics from international politics intervene in that is wrong for this country. and i ask the question, if it was in in palestine , would they allow the palestine, would they allow the british to do the same? can i also just say where some of these people are being bused in from? >> okay. so lester, fine in batley. now we all remember batley. now we all remember batley don't we? it batley, i think, don't we? it was of grammar was the scene of batley grammar school there school where a teacher there allegedly showed a child, a picture of the prophet mohammed. that individual to riots that individual all due to riots and protests outside of that school by as far as i could tell, a load of young men who
9:14 pm
really should have been at work and threats to behead him has gone into police protection and had to a new identity along had to get a new identity along with his family. alison, with his entire family. alison, there concerns. i think if there are concerns. i think if you that area you bus people in from that area on day it probably on that day that it probably isn't that peaceful. isn't going to be that peaceful. >> know, unfortunately, we >> you know, unfortunately, we are seeing in some of the mosques we've seen in older mosques, look online, mosques, people can look online, social the social media, some of the radical imams, extreme imams preaching their congregation preaching to their congregation as jew hatred, spewing jew hatred and coming back to this calling for the ceasefire. it's not a peace march, amy, because it is stirring up racial hatred . it is stirring up racial hatred. british jews don't feel safe going into london on a saturday. who is going to go into london on a saturday, patrick, to do their christmas shopping ? with their christmas shopping? with that going on, we wouldn't that lot going on, we wouldn't do christmas shopping on remembrance day. >> you >> surely out of respect, you can't anything on remembrance can't do anything on remembrance day . day whatsoever. >> that's every saturday forever. this month. you know, it's this. it's like this. >> no, it isn't >> no, no, it isn't conversation. it's conversations like yours, amy, that are trying to make this simple. has to make this simple. it has a ripple effect. should people be
9:15 pm
allowed protest support allowed to protest to support palestine? of course they should. where and how should. but when, where and how is important and we're is very important and we're getting to point where the getting to the point where the decision to taken by decision needs to be taken by politicians, not police. politicians, not the police. >> of those marches >> it a lot of those marches right now, every single right now, amy, every single weekend for the last 3 or 4 weeks, whatever we've seen these things and we're going to see them again this this war is not stopping anytime soon, unfortunately, stopping stopping anytime soon, unfctime|tely, stopping stopping anytime soon, unfctime soon. stopping any time soon. >> so there will be ample opportunity for additional protests and demonstrations going do you think that going fonnard. do you think that the potential the potential for on the saturday and the sunday, a remembrance ice service, a memorial service where we honour people who died fighting the, just one of the group of people that we honour die fighting the who want to exterminate the jews. if you could imagine heanng jews. if you could imagine hearing things like i fully support or anti semitism, support hamas or anti semitism, which we have seen shouted out over the top of that ceremony , over the top of that ceremony, can't say, look, for can't we just say, look, for this week , we're not we're not this week, we're not we're not going to that? i feel going to have that? i feel you're misrepresenting how those marches have gone to date.
9:16 pm
>> they've been have you been incredibly peaceful? you've been i've incredibly peaceful? you've been pve have incredibly peaceful? you've been i've have many friends that i've i have so many friends that have been told me what actually went on there. james schneider, who comes on this show, has reported what was like there reported what it was like there as let's be honest, know . so as he, let's be honest, know. so the way you're putting it fonnard is that there's something to fear. there, is there there afraid. there is. there are afraid. there are kids at these protests. there there are no jews . jews. >> can i just say there is also that i actually fear that . i that i actually fear that. i fear the fact that there are kids at these protests. and i'll tell you why. i saw a person who could have been no older than 5 or 6 years old with a megaphone, chanting some stuff, and then three, four, five. israel. israel is a terror state. five, six, seven, eight. israel is a terrorist state. well, it's well, the parents all just laughed along with it. it's indoctrination of the young. >> look, patrick, look , in amy's >> look, patrick, look, in amy's world, is going to be world, this is going to be a peaceful march and nothing's going to happen. i still don't think. hold on. i still don't think. hold on. i still don't think should be allowed my think it should be allowed my world interrupt. to interrupt
9:17 pm
world to interrupt. to interrupt the armistice day, because it's important . the armistice day, because it's important. and let's be clear . important. and let's be clear. you're talking about a pivotal point in our history right? that should not be disrupted. and amy and nobody else can control who will arrive at that event and use that moment to disrupt that that that that celebration, that support for our for our nation. and then that will have a repercussion. so the police and politicians need err on the politicians need to err on the side caution. side of caution. >> do you think, amy, out >> what do you think, amy, out of interest, that the people who fought and died for this country or who had their blown off or who had their legs blown off in afghanistan or would in afghanistan or iraq, would think that if they could see people walking through the streets of london and the potential for the old chance of jihad and muslim armies and things like that, i mean, what do you think they would think of? well, because this day is about them, right? it's for them. remember? should we honour what they would want? >> but would you not >> of course. but would you not think involved on think that people involved on the those types of the front line of those types of conflicts call for peace conflicts would call for peace over anything else? there is
9:18 pm
such free palestine such a big free palestine movement veterans movement within the us veterans community. we community. i'm sure we have a lot. if we at the lot. if we look at the statistics, 75% of people are sympathetic to a ceasefire. now a lot of those people will be veterans. surely the last people who want to promote who are going to want to promote more those who have been more war are those who have been directly affected by it. >> those people are not campaigning is campaigning for peace. it is naked . from london naked anti—semitism. from london to intifada . we know what to gaza, intifada. we know what intifada means, amy. we know what jihad amy, these are what jihad means. amy, these are words of violence and i bet you these marches will be banned by christmas because there will be violence. i don't see how we can ban them. >> i well, they banned them in the continent. >> i know, i know. >> i know, i know. >> but they have a very different usual style of policing on the continent. we see it all the time. i mean, anyone who's ever been to spain will the way that will know the way that they police over very police over there is very differently. france as well . i differently. france as well. i think on account the think actually on account of the amount of strikes and riots they tend in paris, tend to have in paris, they're well practised. tend to have in paris, they're welspain:ised. tend to have in paris, they're welspain have just called ceasefire. >> yeah, but it's not about a ceasefire. >> these marches are happening in every european country about
9:19 pm
a ceasefire >> is about interrupting >> this is about interrupting a remembrance of a war that killed somewhere 35 and million somewhere between 35 and million and million people that and 60 million people that should take precedence. >> i hope in an ideal world, we get situation where people can get a situation where people can behave freely and demonstrate peacefully and everything's absolutely fine that we have no issues. but i think that everybody has a right to be deeply concerned about anything . deeply concerned about anything. the inevitability that is a problem with all of this and the fundamental disrespect, i cannot believe that if anyone felt truly british or had respect truly british or had any respect for they would go for this country, they would go and choose march on those two and choose to march on those two days. but still, to come, should the home of cricket get a woke makeover and rename the warner stand due to the family's links to slavery, former tory minister ann widdecombe will shortly step in as umpire for that, and her decision will be final. but up next in the clash, as sir keir starmer is accused of removing his poppy for video about his poppy for a video about islamophobia month . do islamophobia awareness month. do you believe that the labour party proud, proud to be

9:24 pm
tatters, the labour leader released this video yesterday to mark islamophobia awareness month. this islamophobia awareness month comes at a deeply troubling time for muslim communities across britain. >> we've seen a devastating rise in islamophobia . we're leaving in islamophobia. we're leaving people feeling fearful and unsafe in their own country . unsafe in their own country. >> now, did you spot something missing there? he is, sir keir starmer giving a speech at chatham house on the same day as his islamophobia video was released. and yet, obviously he's wearing a poppy that good patriotic leader of the opposition. well, eagle eyed viewers have spotted that despite wearing the very same suit or what appears to be anyway, starmer appears to have removed his poppy before filming his message for the muslim community. i wonder why now ? we community. i wonder why now? we contacted the labour press office today to get some answers, but unfortunately they refused to provide an official response . so tonight i'm asking response. so tonight i'm asking do you believe the labour party

9:27 pm
reality of it. >> okay. just just quickly before you do say that, is , you before you do say that, is, you know, look, obviously the labour party like we said, they're they're not confirmed that i get what you're saying. i mean, it looks someone's told him to looks like someone's told him to take but we don't know take it off, but we don't know that carry that for sure. carry on. >> first point is it >> firstly, first point is it likely that this video was in fact on another day ? fact taken on another day? >> for a few days ago >> for example, a few days ago or last week? >> well, why didn't you just say that then? you why that then? you know, why wouldn't you just say it? >> these are professionals. they know. it's poppy , know. they know it's poppy, poppy, know. they know it's poppy, poppy, week, month. >> say, so why wouldn't >> and they say, so why wouldn't they put him? they should they put one on him? they should have. should have. but have. they should have. but secondly, literally wears the secondly, he literally wears the same in million same suit in a million other appearances as that dark blue suit, white shirt, red tie. thirdly, you know, when it's going out, you are commenting , going out, you are commenting, you on the fact you are commenting on the fact that is releasing a video on that he is releasing a video on islamophobia awareness month , islamophobia awareness month, which is something it's not something that's been created by the labour party islamophobia awareness i'm sure both awareness month. i'm sure both of you would agree islamophobia here political leaders
9:28 pm
here is bad political leaders should be against it. do you think it is really strange that the leader of the opposition is releasing a video on islamophobia awareness ? no, i think. >> and will you say the same? stellar. let me let me let me give you some examples. >> he wants to get the black vote. he takes the knee. he wants to get the jewish vote. he comes. >> well, i didn't i didn't interrupt you, stella. >> it wants to get the black vote. he takes the knee. he wants the jewish vote. wants to get the jewish vote. he comes out strongly in favour of israel. he wants to get the working starts working class vote. he starts talking caring about the talking about caring about the cost of living crisis. the reality is he will do anything to get elected . and he's to get elected. and he's beginning to look desperate . beginning to look desperate. >> why wouldn't you just put a poppy >> why wouldn't you just put a poppy on? >> because very clearly this video was not taken on the same day it was going out because i'll tell you what, i was on tv like two days ago. i was wearing a poppy like two days ago. i was wearing a poppy and it fell and it fell the last minute before i went on and they didn't notice it. and i was on tv without a poppy. it

was on tv without a poppy. it was bad. i didn't particularly like it is it just like that. but it is it just happens. it's just a thing. >> and he doesn't want to upset muslim voters because a proportion because a proportion of muslim voters are not enthusiastic about the british military, particularly since i think that's what it is, because i do wonder i honestly do wonder whether or not that actually was a very clumsy way of keir starmer confirmed that, you know, because it was that him actually confirming that, oh gosh, we we're worried that we don't think some of the some elements of muslim community are in favour of britain's military history and therefore we're not going to rile them up with the poppy, as going to rile them up with the poppy, as he confirmed that. >> my question is, if you're saying, as simon is saying, that keir starmer is so desperate to win and the accusation he's getting time and time again from the media is from the right wing media, i should add, is that you are not patriotic enough . the are not patriotic enough. the labour party is not patriotic enough. all of that, and you are
9:30 pm
saying, oh, he's doing all of this manoeuvring just for pr purposes in that case, don't you think he would be desperate to make to wear a poppy in make sure to wear a poppy in every there's no doubt every single there's no doubt about he's been manoeuvring. >> gone supporting >> he's gone from supporting jeremy corbyn, a very left wing leader defending him in leader and defending him in terms of antisemitism to where he is now. so there's no doubt about it stellar that he's manoeuvre in in a desperate to get elected. >> one thing i will say is that the labour party have been keener than they have been for a number of years to have the union flag behind them. shadow ministers, when they're when they're doing a lot of media actually. so i suppose have actually. so i suppose they have moved the right direction. absolutely. >> they're on journey, aren't >> they're on a journey, aren't they? on a journey from they? they're on a journey from waving palestine indian flag waving the palestine indian flag at labour conference to at labour party conference to waving flag. this waving the british flag. this video at the video wasn't aimed at the british as a whole. british electorate as a whole. it aimed at the muslim it was aimed at the muslim electorate and for that reason it chose to not wear a poppy on a week when he should be wearing a week when he should be wearing a poppy- a week when he should be wearing a poppy. and i have to say, i think it's disgraceful. patrick i'm labour party member.
9:31 pm
i'm a labour party member. >> i'm immigrant, and i'm >> i'm an immigrant, and i'm also patriotic about the also very patriotic about the uk. really sorry if people uk. i'm really sorry if people like simon to pretend that like simon want to pretend that people me don't exist. people like me don't exist. well, wrong. we exist well, you are wrong. we exist and the labour and we vote for the labour party. not pretending you don't >> i'm not pretending you don't exist, stella. what i do think is people like you who is that people like you who don't labour any favours , you don't do labour any favours, you try and impose your middle class worldview hard working worldview on hard working families and tell them they should vote labour because it's for their benefit. >> the view that i'm trying to impose on working class. >> trying defend >> well, you're trying to defend keir position. why keir starmer's position. why don't come out and don't you just come out and admit it should been admit it should have been wearing poppy ? wearing a poppy? >> yeah, you should have been wearing poppy. he probably. wearing a poppy. he probably. it's innocent it's probably an innocent mistake . it's probably an innocent misno? . it's probably an innocent misno? well, if it was an >> no? well, if it was an innocent mistake, his press team would that by now. do would have said that by now. do you? they? the reason why >> wouldn't they? the reason why he's pressed him, obviously very rightly is rightly did not respond is because this a ridiculous because this is a ridiculous story that's manipulated to fit a narrative. >> it's not a ridiculous story. the are talking about. >> i just say i do. i do appreciate you putting that side of it. this story would not
9:32 pm
exist if the labour party just come said it was come out and said it was an honest mistake, we be honest mistake, we wouldn't be talking about it. >> i'm not sure about that. i'm not sure about that. >> we wouldn't have a lot to say. ultimately, we'd say. will we ultimately, we'd have debate and have had to have a debate and i'd have then had to read out a comment and go. the labour party has said that starmer's has said that keir starmer's probably minutes for probably five minutes for someone worked for someone who's worked for a labour knows the labour mps and who knows the labour mps and who knows the labour inside, labour party from the inside, i seriously, seriously doubt it. >> cannot a scenario >> i cannot imagine a scenario where aide would where a labour party aide would be removing the poppy from the labour leader. i the only scenario scenario scenario i imagine a scenario where labour party aides have stashes of poppies mp stashes of poppies for mp for forgotten stashes of poppies for mp for forgottecalled the clash. that >> it's called the clash. that was a proper clash. thank you. thank great stuff. i thank you. great stuff. i really, really enjoyed that. that course labour that is of course former labour mp simon danczuk and the former labour shintaido. so labour aide stella shintaido. so there we go. right. who do you agree with though, sir keir starmer is accused of removing agree with though, sir keir sta poppyi accused of removing agree with though, sir keir sta poppy accused of removing agree with though, sir keir sta poppy accused for removing agree with though, sir keir sta poppy accused for almoving agree with though, sir keir sta poppy accused for a vide0ig his poppy accused for a video about islamophobia awareness month. do you believe the labour party proud to be british? so party is proud to be british? so let's go to social media first. ad on twitter not wearing
9:33 pm
ad on twitter says not wearing a poppy ad on twitter says not wearing a peppyis ad on twitter says not wearing a poppy is one of the most anti—british things can do. anti—british things you can do. not look for labour, not a good look for labour, especially when starmer was trying to appease who trying to appease those who clearly tracy clearly dislike britain. tracy on says so disrespectful clearly dislike britain. tracy on shouldn'ts so disrespectful clearly dislike britain. tracy on shouldn't beo disrespectful clearly dislike britain. tracy on shouldn't be allowed ectful clearly dislike britain. tracy on shouldn't be allowed to :ful clearly dislike britain. tracy on shouldn't be allowed to take you shouldn't be allowed to take part in remembrance sunday now. oh well i mean that's cancel culture. we let jeremy corbyn take part in for goodness sake. i do appreciate your sentiments, though, michael on though, tracy. now, michael on twitter are you talking twitter says, are you talking about labour party that about the labour party that started open started the nhs and the open university? interesting point is this, michael. have much this, michael. we have so much to of because of the to be proud of because of the labour there labour party. all right. there you so your verdict is in. you go. so your verdict is in. 8% of you agree that the labour party is proud to be british. gosh i must say, even even other stanzas are some of the polls that we try out on this show. right. this is quite extreme 92% of said that they are not of you said that they are not proud to be british. well, there we go. now look, coming up after an iraqi illegal migrant tried to his way into the uk by to cheat his way into the uk by saying he was a professional footballer on his footballer with a bounty on his head. take four years head. why did it take four years and not four minutes of extra time to work out that this guy
9:34 pm
was a con artist? the legend of fleet street kelvin mackenzie goes footed the home goes into footed on the home office. coming your way office. that's coming your way shortly. and the famous warner office. that's coming your way shortljatlnd the famous warner office. that's coming your way shortljatlnd the iinious warner office. that's coming your way shortljatlnd the fin danger|rner office. that's coming your way shortljatlnd the fin danger ofer stand at lords is in danger of being renamed because sir pelham warner's owned slavery warner's family owned a slavery plantation in 70 years before he was born . so has the home of was born. so has the home of cricket lost its marbles? former tory minister ann widdecombe calls on the sport to get some balls.
9:35 pm
9:36 pm
9:37 pm
isabel, monday to thursdays from six till 930 .
9:38 pm
six till 930. >> calvin mackenzie coming up. but first, it's time for the former conservative minister, ann widdecombe and lord the home of cricket is considering changing the name of its iconic warner stand because sir pelham warner's family owned slaves seven years before he was even born , after a report branded born, after a report branded engush born, after a report branded english cricket racist and elitist, the chairman of the mcc , which owns lord's bruce carnegie—brown, said the renaming of the stand ought to be kept under review. it comes after dozens of bird species in america were given new monikers due to being named after slave owners and confederate generals. well, ann widdecombe joins me now. and thank you very much. do we need to stop renaming things to protect people's feelings ? to protect people's feelings? >> well, it really is becoming an enormous joke . i mean, these an enormous joke. i mean, these people seem to have no clue at all. that is people who are calling for renaming seem to have no clue at all that humanity progresses and that the way we see things now was not
9:39 pm
how people saw it. 70 years before he was born and is not how people a hundred years before that saw things. i mean, we've progressed from boiling in oil to hanging, drawing and quartering to hanging to absolutely no capital punishment at all from flogging people publicly through the streets to now. you can't even smack a child. we progress , but it is a child. we progress, but it is a lunacy to suggest that people of the past that who had the morals of the past and the outlook of the past, that they somehow miraculously we should have had the values which we have now. of course, we wouldn't support anything like slavery now, but that was , you know, years and that was, you know, years and years ago. i mean, slavery was abolished by the british, i might point out, who led the way. slavery was abolished . it way. slavery was abolished. it earner more than a century ago. what what is all this about? >> yeah. what is all of it
9:40 pm
about? but you're also changing the name of an iconic stand at the name of an iconic stand at the home of cricket that i. i'm almost certain, almost certain that nobody who walks through the gates at lord's ever looks up and sees that stand and thinks you know what? i heard that 70 years before that guy was even born, his parents owned slaves. that needs to be torn down. so the pressure, i don't think is coming from anywhere. it's performative, people giving in to this pressure. >> that's what i don't understand. i mean, i understand that there is pressure. i understand that there is a minority and a pretty small minority and a pretty small minority of people who think that you should hold people responsible for what happened a decade before they were born, sometimes even centuries before they were born. i understand that there is that demand , but that there is that demand, but why does any sensible , logical why does any sensible, logical person give in to it? and as for renaming birds, you know, most of us are hard put to name the birds in the first place. never mind. start worrying about, you know, the connotation that that
9:41 pm
come with it . it know, the connotation that that come with it. it is just know, the connotation that that come with it . it is just such come with it. it is just such nonsense . i'm weary of this nonsense. i'm weary of this nonsense. i'm weary of this nonsense and i can't understand why it isn't being resisted . why it isn't being resisted. >> and i do wonder if the human endeavoun >> and i do wonder if the human endeavour, the collective of manpower, hours that go into thinking of things to be offended about, then perform atively offended about, then performatively being offended by them, demanding change. then people coming up with change and going through a whole redesign process . if we could just put process. if we could just put that into something more useful, we would economic we probably would have economic growth actually. but moving on and moving on. michael go. mike gove has been railing against it. the cult of equality , it. the cult of equality, diversity and inclusion in hiring practises. but as the telegraph's sam ashworth has rightly points out, it's a monster of the tories own creation who have overseen a big investment drive into the air industry. and given that the conservative party made interns complete a so—called privilege walk to demonstrate the advantages of being white,
9:42 pm
middle class, and are the tories guilty as charged ? guilty as charged? >> well, they're guilty, but so is labour. so are all parties. there's been a ludicrous amount of consensus on this. there hasn't been any real challenge . hasn't been any real challenge. nobody has said stop. you know , nobody has said stop. you know, what is the purpose of all of this and what good is it actually doing and how much are we spending on it and how much time is going it. and you time is going into it. and you know, what is it diverting us from? asks now, the from? nobody asks that. now, the people expect to ask that people you do expect to ask that are conservatives they're are the conservatives they're not it. they're not asking it. they're going with they're it . with the flow. they're doing it. they somehow , you know, they want to somehow, you know, have woke credentials that they can parade. they should actually throw the woke credentials out of the window. and they would be surprised at how many of the population support them. amazed and well, most people would support it. >> i mean, it'd be an ovennhelming majority would support it. i think the concern is that under the conservative party's watch, the stuff that they supposed conserve party's watch, the stuff that they not supposed conserve party's watch, the stuff that they not beemposed conserve party's watch, the stuff that they not been conserved �*onserve party's watch, the stuff that they not been conserved .nserve party's watch, the stuff that they not been conserved . andre party's watch, the stuff that they not been conserved . and if has not been conserved. and if we do end up with a labour
9:43 pm
government, which let's be honest, the appear honest, all of the polls appear to indicate then much to indicate then how much further and how much more rapidly they going go. rapidly are they going to go. but i've time for just but and i've got time for just one with which is one more with you now, which is we talking about this a we were talking about this a little bit earlier on, but i'm very get your view very keen to get your view because you surprise because sometimes you surprise me your take me actually with with your take on it. you're you're often you're not quite as you're often not quite as bullish which is good bullish as i am, which is good a national pro—palestine march is set take in london on set to take place in london on saturday the 11th of november. it's armistice day. is this a new an no march should take new low, an no march should take place in london on armistice day. >> we should all be focussed entirely on what's happening at the cenotaph. should all be the cenotaph. we should all be focussed remembering our focussed on remembering our current veterans and also those who died in two world wars and other theatres of war as well. thatis other theatres of war as well. that is what we should be remembering. nothing should distract us from that. i have , distract us from that. i have, you know, a lot of causes that i support, but i wouldn't be marching for them in london. on armistice day. i just wouldn't do it . and those who do it
9:44 pm
do it. and those who do it obviously have no respect for what's happening at the cenotaph i >> yeah, this is i can't get around that. i cannot get around the that if you truly felt the idea that if you truly felt british, you truly felt invested in this country. if you truly understood it or wanted to or cared, you just wouldn't do it. then you just wouldn't do it then. but look, thank you very much. always an absolute pleasure . it's ann widdecombe. pleasure. it's ann widdecombe. there fantastic stuff. now coming up, the most pathetic apology of the year as m&s cave in to the idiotic mob who said that this christmas ad looks like burning a palestinian flag . like burning a palestinian flag. one of my panel will defend the woke supermarket in another big debate very, very shortly . but debate very, very shortly. but next, an illegal iraqi migrant has been given the boot after trying to con his way into the uk by saying he was a professional footballer. but given it took four years to show him the red card, is the home office even slower than vr? fleet street icon kelvin mackenzie is next on another mackenzie is up next on another immigration own goal back
9:45 pm
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
soon rbmg soon rising star of the right and tory mp miriam cates is on the way. but first, it's time for fleet street icon kelvin mackenzie. and in a near own goal for the home office, an illegal iraqi immigrant tried to bluff his way into the uk by claiming he was a superstar footballer with a bounty on his headin footballer with a bounty on his head in his home country and most shockingly of all, it took the home office over four years to finally rule that he was talking tripe. so kelvin joins me now . there he is. right. why me now. there he is. right. why did they need so much extra time to reject his asylum claim? do you think ? you think? >> because the lawyers acting for him on our money fought them every step of the way . and every step of the way. and that's the reality. >> and the truth about the matter is we knew right from the start a junior reporter could
9:49 pm
literally check the background of this guy and check it against iraqi players who've played the game at national level. >> found out he wasn't the guy who'd taken about seven seconds. but what doesn't take seven seconds because the lawyers make so much money is that they then fight them through the courts . fight them through the courts. why are we doing this? why don't we just take them on? why don't we just take them on? why don't we simply say you're allowed two shots and then that's it? and by the way, we know you're lying your head off. i don't even know why we're bothering with this conversation. >> kelvin, the solution could have been what you've just said there. if he pretended to be a footballer, give him two shots at open if he misses at an open goal. if he misses both them, he's liar, isn't both of them, he's a liar, isn't he? so you can get him straight out. can you do ten kick ups? that would be the way to for that would be the way to go for it, it? right. do it, wouldn't it? all right. do you offside rule, mate? you know the offside rule, mate? can name any of the class of can you name any of the class of 99 from manchester united? these would great. would have all been great. forget the need for an interpreter. forget the need for some of weird to some kind of weird test to prove whether may may not
9:50 pm
whether or not he may or may not be member of the lgbtq+ be a member of the lgbtq+ community. can you do ten kick ups, mate? that would have been community. can you do ten kick ups solutionthat would have been community. can you do ten kick ups solution ast would have been community. can you do ten kick ups solution as well. ld have been the solution as well. >> that be one solution. >> that could be one solution. and one worth running and could be one worth running past court. but past the supreme court. but i have doubts about that. but have my doubts about that. but i do think we should actually restrict the ability of the concern appeal, because the concern and appeal, because the constant appeal is a money making operation for the lawyers . right. they know these guys know that in the end of the day, they're going to lose. so why don't we just bring the situation to a close earlier? because it's in the end of the day, it's our money. legal aid is our money. how is it we are actually prepared to invest money in people who are lying there, jump off in and give them cash at the same time? it's preposterous . and the other preposterous. and the other issue is, will he ever go back to iraq or will he end up as a delivery driver in weybridge ? i delivery driver in weybridge? i guarantee you it'll be the second one. >> all right. now, the home office has said we do not routinely comment on individual case. what was the point of that
9:51 pm
then? it's the worst right of reply i've ever been presented with. but look, kelvin. kelvin? kelvin, i want get you on kelvin, i want to get you on this i know feel this because i know you feel incredibly strongly about this. i'm going yeah, see, look, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gc not yeah, see, look, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gc not gotyeah, see, look, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gc not got long, see, look, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gcnot got long, soe, look, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gcnot got long, so i'mok, incredibly strongly about this. i'm gcnot got long, so i'm going we've not got long, so i'm going to this one. i was going to to skip this one. i was going to talk about about about talk to you about about about slow police. this is a story that's worthwhile doing right? okay. going skip it. okay. but i'm going to skip it. sorry. production team out there. skip there. i've decided to skip that because to you on the because i want to get you on the m&s advert right. i know that you about this, so you feel strongly about this, so m&s, m&s, m&s have released an advert which going advert which we're going to be talking shortly. all talking about shortly. it's all full they've then full of wokeism. they've then apologised the apologised for burning the christmas colours, which now apologised for burning the chripalestinianlrs, which now apologised for burning the chripalestinian flag.hich now apologised for burning the chripalestinian flag. calvin now apologised for burning the chripalestinian flag. calvin gov the palestinian flag. calvin go on. you're angry, right? >> i'm angry the >> the reason i'm angry the palestinian a side palestinian thing is a side issue. the main issue is that this is an ad, i think made by mother, agency, mother, right? the ad agency, the of all ups, in my the mother of all ups, in my view. what done is view. right what they've done is they've decided that actually christmas hasn't got any love or warmth or anything. it's basically a selfish operation. and you being the selfish ones should simply embrace that. i
9:52 pm
say that most families i know , say that most families i know, i'm sure there's scumbags out there who don't give a stuff, but most families i know enjoy having their children around, enjoy giving them presents , enjoy giving them presents, enjoy giving them presents, enjoy giving them presents, enjoy giving with their their grandparents and parents and actually the whole point of m&s has been loft in this. my advice is forget about skipping the palestinian thing. they should just simply dump the ad, it doesn't reflect the values of either their shoppers or i say ordinary people in this country. it's too cynical and it's too nasty and it's a mistake by m&s who by and large have a pretty good record in this area . good record in this area. >> yeah, i mean, every single box ticked that advert. again we're going to come on to talk about this in a little bit more detail later on. but you know, you kind of had the had the obligatory multiracial family. you had a gay couple in there as well, didn't you ? you had all well, didn't you? you had all sorts of that. you had the diversity quota non—stop. >> you think this but wasn't the
9:53 pm
real wasn't the real feeling was one of cynicism . yeah, right. we one of cynicism. yeah, right. we have to potential world wars going on in our backyard . we've going on in our backyard. we've got economic problems coming out of area. i suspect unemployment is going to go through the roof over the next six months. why not simply embrace christmas? but i realise that there are some probably some religious issues involving their shoppers , issues involving their shoppers, in which case they feel christmas uneasy. but for most of us, we want to have a good time and we want to share some good times with our family. why is it that m&s uniquely who i previously would have respected in this area, feel they cannot make an advert which embraces those issues? yeah for a christmas advert for people who enjoy christmas and would like to shop at m&s so that they can have a nice christmas with their family, it's a radical notion, kelvin, isn't it? >> i wonder whether or not you i should set up advertising should set up an advertising agency stuns and stuns our agency which stuns and stuns our clients by advertising their
9:54 pm
product . but clients by advertising their product. but for what it's supposed to do . and where are supposed to do. and where are these to come from? this is this is this is a real this is something else . something else. >> we wouldn't we wouldn't we wouldn't get any work for a number of reasons, which i don't think are appropriate to go into what would we call our advertising and stale. >> do you think? >> do you think? >> well . well, in my case, very >> well. well, in my case, very old ideas . old ideas. >> good stuff . all right. okay. >> good stuff. all right. okay. kelvin, look , thank you very, kelvin, look, thank you very, very much. it's always an absolute pleasure to have you on the show. just let's see, where where will you be doing your christmas food shop this year then? actually, funnily then? not m&s, actually, funnily enough, i will be going to b urnley. >> burnley. >> i'm under i'm under family orders on that issue. i won't be going to aldi's. i can tell you that. >> enough. no, i mean, >> fair enough. no, i mean, you wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't be seeing you wouldn't be there. you get be seen dead there. you get recognised too much in an aldi. people in manchester, they don't come up to photographs. there's always than always someone more famous than gary lineker's in there taking the he? anyway, the knee, isn't he? anyway, kelvin, very much. the knee, isn't he? anyway, kelvin,mackenzie very much. the knee, isn't he? anyway, kelvin, mackenzie there, nuch. the knee, isn't he? anyway, kelvin,mackenzie there, of:h. kelvin mackenzie there, of course, fleet street

10:07 pm
times. and i can confirm that i said to bosses here, all right, i want to go and save this sheep. okay we need to get the gb news dinghy. okay. we talk about dinghies. enough. don't we? get the dinghy over there to this sheep? save it. and i mean, it turns out that it was an absolute logistical nightmare. to be fair. but the daily star have gone and done it. okay? the daily have and done daily star have gone and done it. are the sheep. it. they are saving the sheep. so anyway, right. so there we go anyway, right. those the papers so far. those are the papers so far. i'll give you some more of the papers very shortly. if papers very, very shortly. if they're anything like the daily star, going be star, then it's going to be a good my panel are good night. but my panel are back me, daily telegraph back with me, daily telegraph columnist pearson, columnist allison pearson, conservative sean conservative peer, lord sean bailey, author and broadcaster amy is amy nicole turner. now, is it dumbing indictment? of dumbing indictment? i think of today's society that today's vacuous society that britain's multinational britain's leading multinational retailer thought it was fit to release a christmas advert that promotes selfishness , cynicism promotes selfishness, cynicism at the one time of year that we used to celebrate, tolerance and tradition marks and spencer flying the flag for britain across the world said to hell with friends. your family can go and shove it where the sun

10:09 pm
and sparks are leading the race to the bottom with its rallying cry for self—absorbed thoughtlessness that sticks the middle finger to the one day of the year when we should come together in conscious thanks and gratitude . and is this, as gratitude. and is this, as i fear , further proof of the final fear, further proof of the final days of the west's crumbling empire ? not likely to be empire? not likely to be dramatic, is it? now, if it wasn't bad enough, m&s was forced to separately apologise forced to separately apologise for releasing this outtake from their advert . now it showed ray their advert. now it showed ray had black. well, the hearth is black. the little christmas hats aren't black. but anyway, you get the point. red, green, white christmas hats being burned in the fireplace. right. well, they now are apologised to the pro palestine mob after being accused of deliberately staging it look like palestine it to look like a palestine flag. which why would they have done that? but despite the commercial being filmed in august before the middle east, chaos all kicked off. they did
10:10 pm
also do not call it christmas . also do not call it christmas. they called it the christmas because as yeah, you know who could possibly mention the word christ it be offensive on their panel has m&s really dropped the ball here and why did they separately apologise to palestinian supporters ? alison palestinian supporters? alison i wrote a book about starting with a woman distressing. >> a shop bought mince pies. patrick to look like they were home made to take to a carol concert. the idea any mother in britain this christmas do only what you love. yeah right i mean you know up till 3 am. wrapping the stocking fillers you know i'm not doing it this year. >> i won't do it this year. i promise you. you're not. you're doing it this year. >> the message the message is don't make the mince pie. give the christmas . sorry. the christmas. sorry. >> no, that message is the pressure. pressu re. >> pressure. >> people. >> people. >> look, i like moaning about christmas. all women like moaning about but we moaning about christmas. but we love things to lay love to do things to lay down memories children and memories for the children and to make lovely christmas. this

10:12 pm
haven't raised families, whatever. and nobody at marks and sparks well, hold and sparks thought, well, hold on it isn't these on a second. it isn't these young looking people who young luxury looking people who buy gear . it's young luxury looking people who buy gear. it's your mum and buy our gear. it's your mum and my go to marks and my mum who go to marks and sparks and actually christmas is a point of the real a major joyful point of the real people in the real world that isn't gb news actually dislike this advert because i just can't really do . really do. >> it's actually really gone down like a cup of coffee. >> i can't see it. >> i just can't see it. >> i just can't see it. >> christmas look, there's a pot, there's a part of our lives that we all want to be slick and we seeing the latest we won't be seeing the latest car but car and swanning around. but there's part of our there's another part of our life. there's actually about our slightly dysfunctional family at christmas together, christmas all getting together, reminding yourself why you don't continue them. continue to live with them. there's this advert ignores all the parts to this, isn't the two parts to this, isn't there? >> part this >> the other part is this ridiculous apology. which ridiculous apology. right. which speaks corporate speaks a lot to corporate culture this country the culture in this country at the moment. i clearly that moment. and i think clearly that advert, we've discussed, is advert, as we've discussed, is trying to be as non offensive as possible. you know, the whole diversity bingo is taking place in that advert. they've even removed christmas . it's this in that advert. they've even
10:13 pm
removandihristmas . it's this in that advert. they've even removand stillmas . it's this in that advert. they've even remov and still they. it's this in that advert. they've even remov and still they find this mess and still they find themselves issuing a grovelling apology because the colours of christmas, which is loosely speaking red, white and green , speaking red, white and green, ended up in a hearth . and that's ended up in a hearth. and that's offended palestinians. >> but it was a very unfortunate picture taken out of context because i this morning i went to get my hair cut and i showed the hairdresser the picture in isolation, didn't say anything. i said, what's this picture of? and he went, oh my god, like that. night when i saw that. and last night when i saw it, went, oh, my god, i had to it, i went, oh, my god, i had to double doesn't double take. it doesn't immediately hats immediately look like three hats burning fire, does it? burning in the fire, does it? does it? it was like you don't expect to see that. >> i never thought it was like thought. >> i thought apologies. right. look, there the side of look, look there on the side of caution. on side of caution. err on the side of caution. err on the side of caution. it looks like a palestinian flag to certain people. no big deal. it's people. it's no big deal. it's no, big deal saying no, it's no big deal saying sorry, i might not think it looks like flag, but they do. looks like a flag, but they do. and marks and sparks want to back the politics, which back out of the politics, which is but thing is correct. but the real thing that marks sparks should that marks and sparks should should thought about who should have thought about is who are customers? are we are our customers? who are we trying to here? and
10:14 pm
trying to appeal to here? and that marks and that and somebody at marks and sparks needs to take charge of it because like said before, it because like i said before, it's not these radical, you know, activists shop know, activists who shop in marks sparks. it's your mum, marks and sparks. it's your mum, my they need appeal my mum, and they need to appeal to and not get anywhere to them and not get anywhere near politics. and the fact near the politics. and the fact that they apologise won't that they had to apologise won't matter. it's the advert that's offensive christmas that offensive about christmas that will be the problem. >> how about apologising to christians featuring any christians not featuring any mention or baby mention of christmas or baby jesus how about jesus or anything? how about apologising aren't apologising to women who aren't swanning some swanning around in some sequinned dress because that's sweated out sweated wrestling the turkey out of of the oven. i mean, of the out of the oven. i mean, this is just not a christmas advert. and we're getting more and more ludicrous year, and more ludicrous every year, further from as further and further away from as sean from christmas sean says, from the christmas most people have. >> whole population >> the whole population is moving away moving further and further away from like this christmas. what percentage do you percentage of people do you think actually visit church at christmas? christmas day? christmas? on christmas day? because can't imagine it's because i can't imagine it's over a year. over 10% a year. >> the two times in the year where churches are full, right? a and easter. and the a christmas and easter. and the other well is intensely other thing as well is intensely white to say that white thing to say that christmas is unpopular in the black community. for instance , black community. for instance, hold on. in a black community,
10:15 pm
for instance, churches are bursting at the seams. so the fact people go to dry fact that people don't go to dry high christmas in a high church christmas in a anglican church doesn't reflect how of country behaves. how much of the country behaves. and i go back the fact and again, i go back to the fact christmas is about christ and at christmas is about christ and at christmas time and easter time, church full. church is are full. >> okay. so they should have had some hymns . amen, brothers. some hymns. amen, brothers. >> . sister religious themed >> amen. sister religious themed christmas sneery metropolitan view of christmas. >> let's have a glass of champagne. let's go and burn the christmas card. >> can we just do a very quick can we do a very quick sweepstake now? right what do you reckon the john lewis advert is going to be? >> they're desperately remaking is going to be? >:as hey're desperately remaking is going to be? >:as we're desperately remaking is going to be? >:as we speak. )erately remaking it as we speak. >> like. like. right. come on, quick. get the archbishop of canterbury . canterbury. >> somebody running around now with iphone refilming. with their iphone refilming. >> put that santa costume on, >> it put that santa costume on, sit down, have a presence. get me a big cross. >> i want a nativity . i want one >> i want a nativity. i want one of those little wooden nativity . of those little wooden nativity. >> you're going to be >> you're just going to be filmed the middle this filmed in the middle east this yean filmed in the middle east this year, carol singing go, carol singing gary. >> right, right,

10:17 pm
10:18 pm
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
weekend at 3 pm. on gb news, the people's channel. britain's news channel . news channel. >> royal mastermind lady c and phil dampier. they're on the way. but first, straight talking tory mp miriam cates has caused quite the stir this week with her unfiltered takes on why some kids are starting school still wearing nappies . and britain's wearing nappies. and britain's plunging birth rate . she thinks plunging birth rate. she thinks that we might have to increase
10:21 pm
more foreign population in order to increase that birth rate. speaking at a conference yesterday , the former science yesterday, the former science teacher turned politician even said the gdp obsessed economic climate meant mothers of toddlers were getting pushed into the workplace where they cannot toilet train their kids. and she warned that too many soft touch mums and dads are shielding their youngsters from discomfort , including the ordeal discomfort, including the ordeal of potty training . is it an of potty training. is it an ordeal? potty training is an ordeal. not being potty trained. that would be an ordeal that would cause it anyway. her comments sparked outrage from certain daily certain quarters with the daily telegraph. charlotte litton insist cutting the cost of living was the problem. not working. i'm delighted to working. mums i'm delighted to say that miriam joins me now. miriam, thank you . well, you've miriam, thank you. well, you've caused a bit of a storm, that's for sure. and you say that 90% of reception teachers now report having kids in their class who aren't toilet trained and i mean aren't toilet trained and i mean are working mums to blame. i mean, how does this affect children? they they head into
10:22 pm
adulthood. go on, take it away . adulthood. go on, take it away. >> no, working mums aren't to blame. >> i never said that. it's been widely reported that i said that. i absolutely didn't say that. i absolutely didn't say that. i absolutely didn't say that. i said our economy is to blame and that is the cost of living crisis as you and living crisis as you said. and actually article actually in that article yesterday, journalist did yesterday, the journalist did say the cost of living say that the cost of living crisis was to blame, which is exactly what i said. it's exactly what i said. so it's sometimes frustrating that people watch the people don't read or watch the speech they report on speech and they report on something been reported something that's been reported by reported something that's been reported by but reported something that's been reported by but having reported something that's been reported by but having said reported something that's been reported by but having said that, 'eported something that's been reported by but having said that, i'mrted it. but having said that, i'm pleased that the issue is getting some attention because this massive deal for this is a massive deal for schools just to start with know, i've spoken to headteachers who are having to move teaching assistant notes from higher assistant notes down from higher years primary school into the years in primary school into the lower just to change lower years just to change nappies and clear up mess. that's a huge cost to the school . talking here? . are we talking here? >> how old are we talking with these kids? how old are these kids in nappies then? >> well, obviously children in this start at this country start school at four, talking about four, so we're talking about children aged 4—4 five. and children aged 4—4 and five. and i of children as old i have heard of children as old as six so first or second
10:23 pm
as six in so first or second year of primary school. but we're primarily talking about children in children who start school in nappies . and it isn't just a uk nappies. and it isn't just a uk phenomenon . and i spoke to phenomenon. and i spoke to a dutch mp at this conference. we were about who said that were talking about who said that there's extraordinary there's been an extraordinary rise holland of children rise also in holland of children starting school, not wearing nappies. this is a problem nappies. so this is a problem for schools, it's an even for schools, but it's an even bigger problem for children. first of all, think the first of all, think about the psychological impact of soiling your pants in front of your classmates . you know, when classmates. you know, when you're two, that's not a problem. when you're five and six, that's going to be remembered. that's a big deal. and then also, if you think that child hasn't been trained in something basic, does something pretty basic, does that got that mean they've got quite a poor chance being trained in poor chance of being trained in other skills for other very important skills for life? a serious life? so this is a serious issue. and i brought it up really as a symptom , i suppose, really as a symptom, i suppose, of our declining social fabric , of our declining social fabric, the problems that our families and communities are facing. and this is a very, very basic problem. we can't get problem. and if we can't get that right, then it shows there's something wrong. and i think there are number think there are a number of reasons happening,
10:24 pm
reasons for this happening, partly you alluded partly as you alluded to. i think a lot of parents in this country have really lost confidence about parenting. we're to what do we're not quite sure to what do anymore. don't want anymore. we don't want our children cry. it's horrible children to cry. it's horrible when child cries . but when your child child cries. but actually, training is actually, potty training is unpleasant child. they unpleasant for the child. they are to cry. if you're are going to cry. but if you're going right, you know, going to do it right, you know, that's unfortunately be that's unfortunately going to be the case. but the other problem is that potty training takes a lot of time. it weeks lot of time. it can take weeks of following the child around with the potty and unfortunate our now so anti our economy is now so anti family and obsessed with gdp that more and more mothers, the majority of whom, by the way, say they would prefer to work less. so we're talking about what women actually want in the majority cases, can't work majority of cases, can't work less because of the cost of living . they have to put their living. they have to put their children childcare and then children in childcare and then it's much more difficult to train i am not train the children. so i am not blaming at all. i'm blaming women at all. i'm blaming women at all. i'm blaming our system now. >> absolutely. and think stay >> absolutely. and i think stay at home mums are are demonised at home mums are are demonised at times actually , i think at times actually, i think there's no question about it.
10:25 pm
that's a full time job. especially you've got more than one child. i mean i honest we do not understand how people have like four kids and have a life and don't just just give up . and don't just just give up. honestly, i don't know how people do that, right? so the stigma that is associated with what you do on a housewife strike, calling them tradwives and that makes it sound bad. well, i'm sorry , but it's worked well, i'm sorry, but it's worked for however many years, you know, however many hundreds of years to do that. and if it's a woman's choice, then then what's the problem with it? just quickly as well, miriam bit much too information here. but too much information here. but when i was potty trained, my parents got me a potty that used to sing congratulations. whenever was successful. and whenever i was successful. and i actually the whole thing. whenever i was successful. and i act| it'sy the whole thing. whenever i was successful. and i act|it's all the whole thing. whenever i was successful. and i act|it's all aboute whole thing. whenever i was successful. and i act|it's all about the 1ole thing. whenever i was successful. and i act|it's all about the rewards.g. >> it's all about the rewards. >> it's all about the rewards. >> it's all about the rewards. >> i couldn't stop . i know. and >> i couldn't stop. i know. and i've not stopped ever since . i've not stopped ever since. now, miriam, you've also been very about collapsing very vocal about the collapsing birth rate. yes. so around 600,000 babies born last 600,000 babies were born last year , the lowest since 2002. we year, the lowest since 2002. we are now heading the way of japan and italy. so we've got more deaths than births, apparently.
10:26 pm
what has rocketing what part has rocketing immigration had in this, do you think is britain's future? we're now totally reliant on on foreign importation ? foreign importation? >> well, at the moment we are very much reliant on on immigration. so for a society city to have a healthy economy and a healthy, a healthy culture, i suppose you need a good balance between young and old. you need far more people below retirement age than above retirement age. and there are obvious reasons for that. we need people to working and need people to be working and paying, need people to be working and paying, taxing taxes and able to care the elderly . but we've care for the elderly. but we've our rate collapsed so our birth rate has collapsed so much now that just in my lifetime , um, we've we're going lifetime, um, we've we're going to from having about four to go from having about four people full working age people per pensioner and per pensioner to two and possibly even one. and if you think about the impact that's going on our economy, going to have on our economy, it's catastrophic. now, at the moment, our high level of immigration, our of immigration is shielding that problem because we're importing hundreds of of people the of thousands of people into the workplace every of workplace every year. but of course, immigrants get old, too. and so it's not solving the
10:27 pm
birth rate problem. if this birth rate problem. and if this paper that's been produced by philip pilkington and paul morland models what's going to happenif morland models what's going to happen if we don't increase our birth rate from what it now, birth rate from what it is now, about 1.5 children per women. we can expect by 2080. so possibly still in our lifetimes . half of still in our lifetimes. half of the people in the uk to not be born here. now just think about that for a second. at the moment, about 40% of the country wasn't born here. you know, is that sustainable ? that's that sustainable? that's a question that's being asked at the moment. a lot of people think but imagine if in think not. but imagine if1 in 2 people weren't born here. it kind the of what it kind of the idea of what it means to be a nation doesn't really anymore. now we can really exist anymore. now we can argue about the good the bad argue about the good and the bad of that, but this is big deal. of that, but this is a big deal. and what's going to and that's what's going to happen we don't increase the happen if we don't increase the birth happen if we don't increase the biriwell, you're a nation. >> well, you're not a nation. i mean, you're not. it's just it's just of land with a just a plot of land with a collection of people on it. and even we are seeing right even even as we are seeing right now in this country, unequivocally, who were unequivocally, people who were born here who still feel as though is lie
10:28 pm
though their allegiance is lie elsewhere reality, elsewhere anyway. so in reality, how actual of how many actual kind of patriotic british people are you left and unfortunately, left with? and unfortunately, it's exactly. but the reality, of >> exactly. but the reality, of course, we'll never course, is that we'll never attract that immigrants. attract that many immigrants. even to go down even if we wanted to go down that route, because our gdp growth is slowing and other countries. already countries. so we've already seen in europe, example , in eastern europe, for example, poland well. poland is doing really well. they're . they're thriving. >> poland wouldn't let >> poland, poland wouldn't let it wouldn't let it happen, though . this is the thing. though. this is the thing. >> no, but what i'm saying is our our economic attractiveness is fall . even if we is going to fall. even if we wanted to import half of our working population from abroad, we won't be able to do that for much longer because other countries are suffering countries are also suffering lower birth their gdp is lower birth rates. their gdp is growing. cetera. so unless we growing. et cetera. so unless we increase birth rate, our increase the birth rate, our future is one extreme future is one of extreme economic stagnation . and that is economic stagnation. and that is anissue economic stagnation. and that is an issue that politicians should be talking about. imagine patrick, if we were saying in 20 years we're to going run years time, we're to going run out of energy or in 20 years time, we're going out of time, we're going to run out of water. would be a serious water. this would be a serious issue that politicians were talking about. it's a lot talking about. now it's a lot more absolute
10:29 pm
talking about. now it's a lot more but absolute talking about. now it's a lot more but that absolute talking about. now it's a lot more but that doesn'tte absolutely. but that doesn't mean shouldn't mean that politicians shouldn't be taking this seriously. and thinking about the kind of barriers that are stopping people well, we people having children. well, we know to future know that they want to future it's the ultimate future a it's the ultimate future of a country. >> you don't have country if country. >> �*don't)n't have country if country. >> �*don't)n't ithat country if country. >> �*don't)n't ithat out. jntry if country. >> �*don't)n't ithat out. miriam country. >> you|'t)n't ithat out. miriam country. >> you don't ithat out. miriam country. >> you don't ithat aut. miriam country. >> you don't ithat a societyam country. >> you don't ithat a society if| >> you don't have a society if you don't have a young generation. >> absolute pleasure. thank you very, miriam cates, very, very much. miriam cates, conservative for penistone. conservative mp for penistone. and thank and stocksbridge, thank you very, right okay. so very, very much. right okay. so before night out, it's before the night is out, it's prince overreliance on prince harry's overreliance on meghan markle's social circle taking its toll on the disillusioned duke and what will he make of the crown portraying his as a ghost? we've his mother as a ghost? we've seen this. i wonder if seen all of this. i wonder if it's time for people to start feeling sorry for prince feeling a bit sorry for prince harry. if his mum is harry. hey, if his mum is continually being portrayed as a ghost or as being ghost or pregnant or as being murdered kind of murdered in some kind of establishment do you ever establishment plot, do you ever end having sympathy for end up having some sympathy for him? suspect that lady him? i suspect that lady colin campbell phil dampier campbell won't. phil dampier will join those are our will join her. those are our royal masterminds. they're beaming in live offer beaming in live to offer their forensic royal analysis. but next media, buzz working . next in the media, buzz working. brits in sick more brits are phoning in sick more than ever before. so how's the

10:35 pm
telegraph. so there we go, musk tells sunak. i will end work. okay fine. but why does rishi sunak keep continually being pictured events that no one pictured at events that no one gives a toss about? hancock wanted say on who lived or wanted final say on who lived or died as the covid inquiry which i think paints a terrifying picture of matt hancock with the needle in his hand, doesn't it? and london feels less safe with jews in israel, says the ambassador. but more that ambassador. but more on that shortly . one final one now what? shortly. one final one now what? we got the mail. okay revealed. oh, exclusive . you know it's oh, an exclusive. you know it's good revealed by ex—cabinet minister nadine dorries in the most anticipated political book of shadowy tory number of the year, shadowy tory number 10 fixer who had a pet rabbit butchered in what the heck , who butchered in what the heck, who had a pet rabbit by butchered in mafia style warning to his ex girlfriend ? i'm going to girlfriend? i'm going to continue reading this. a powerful tory known as doctor no cut up a rabbit and nailed it to the owner's home in a mafia style warning to a former girlfriend . that's according to girlfriend. that's according to
10:36 pm
a new book, the astonishing claim is one of a string of revelations. right. well, i'd say i'm buying that paper. so shut up and take my money daily mail. right. so those are the front the media front pages. more on the media buzz with tonight's panel daily telegraph columnist allison pearson . we've got a pearson. we've got a conservative peer, lord shaun bailey, who has never been seen anywhere near dead rabbit and anywhere near a dead rabbit and author broadcaster author and broadcaster amy nicole . now more brits nicole turner. now more brits are calling in sick than ever before, with the average person taking a whopping eight days off a year, compared with six days pre—pandemic. a year, compared with six days pre—pandemic . the biggest pre—pandemic. the biggest increase was in the 16 to 24 year olds, aka gen 2. skivers . year olds, aka gen 2. skivers. with 25 to 34 year olds not far behind. meanwhile while i'm sitting here, five days a week working my socks off, i didn't write that, okay? it's actually six. so panel, what can we take from this? our workshy brits taking the mickey allison i think the two points. >> patrick i think the first is that a lot of people did stay in and didn't go out. so i think a
10:37 pm
lot of people's immune systems are not that great. so i think a lot of people are getting worse. colds and flu. but this is another bit of the collateral damage from lockdown. we've got the covid inquiry the dreadful covid inquiry winding there are bits of winding on there are bits of things that lockdown has permanently changed behaviour things that lockdown has perrof1ently changed behaviour things that lockdown has perrof course:hanged behaviour things that lockdown has perrof course rishi 5d behaviour things that lockdown has perrof course rishi paidhaviour things that lockdown has perrof course rishi paid people and of course rishi paid people and of course rishi paid people a lot of money to stay home and do nothing and people developed a taste for it. so not only have we seen a huge amount of kids absenteeism from school, that's that's also a was was ingrained dunng that's also a was was ingrained during covid children saw we didn't have to go to school maybe going to school is not important. so this is maybe going work what we going to work isn't what we fancy. think it's a bit more fancy. i think it's a bit more than i would than that, although i would stand up for the great british psyche, think would. 1 or psyche, i think you would. 1 or 2. should you pull the sickie. >> oh, undoubtedly. the thing i would say is as well is what are people working think what people working for? i think what did ? it set the precedent did it set? it set the precedent that staying home is better that staying at home is better than to work. i think than going to work. but i think for people, if you look at for young people, if you look at 24 to 34, went up by 43. there's a range amongst young people. 24 to 34, went up by 43. there's a rangexactlyigst young people. 24 to 34, went up by 43. there's a rangexactly am young people. 24 to 34, went up by 43. there's a rangexactly am ygoing)eople. 24 to 34, went up by 43. there's a rangexactly am ygoing)eoget what exactly am i going to get
10:38 pm
from working? living in my from working? i'm living in my parents because can't parents house because i can't afford live, saying, afford anywhere to live, saying, as matter of fact, my boss can as a matter of fact, my boss can take a i'm going to stay take a jump. i'm going to stay at because i've had a big at home because i've had a big night out on friday i don't night out on friday and i don't feel i don't feel ready on monday. the point is, we to monday. the point is, we need to restructure society that restructure our society so that work pays so that people are building a future that's building towards a future that's very important. and other very important. and the other thing to thing i'd say almost to agree with that lockdown with alison is that lockdown changed now it changed what people want. now it changed what people want. now it changed dynamics changed the power dynamics between employee, changed the power dynamics beti also employee, changed the power dynamics betialso it employee, changed the power dynamics betialso it changed employee, changed the power dynamics betialso it changed the employee, changed the power dynamics betialso it changed the work.oyee, but also it changed the work life balance in people's heads and heads hearts. people are and heads and hearts. people are prepared make a lot less prepared to make a lot less money way they want money to live the way they want to live. >> amy the fear for me, >> amy it's the fear for me, though, honestly, i've always it's fear. it's always more fear. >> what is it about this time riddled with it? >> fear of taking taking >> the fear of taking taking a day even the point where day off even to the point where even when i am ill and it was was not just that this job, it's everywhere i've worked. i am terrified people thinking i'm terrified of people thinking i'm skiving you what i mean? skiving. you know what i mean? >> i know what you >> no, i know exactly what you obviously know. >> feel that. >> people don't feel that. >> people don't feel that. >> know what you mean >> i know. i know what you mean in this industry. but for once in this industry. but for once in life i'm agreeing with
10:39 pm
in my life i'm agreeing with alison agreeing with alison and i'm agreeing with you, sean. i think at last census been seen because alison. alison is looking at understanding why people perhaps aren't at work but insured again. but you have had 13 years to sort out those circumstances. but i think sick note culture is a myth generally peddled by truly lazy government wants to cover themselves for the likes of the things that you're talking about. alison the reasons why people aren't at work, but it still remains the case that we less people case that we have less people off than our european neighbours. we still have some of rates the world of the best rates in the world for being in work. for people being in work. >> we also don't have a siesta for people being in work. >>thel also don't have a siesta for people being in work. >>the middle)n't have a siesta for people being in work. >>the middle oft have a siesta for people being in work. >>the middle of the ve a siesta in the middle of the day. >> also, but also well, exactly. >> also, but also well, exactly. >> so let's understand that work life little better life balance a little better when government changed when the tory government changed the who could apply the rules around who could apply for allowance, lot for disability allowance, a lot of disappeared off for disability allowance, a lot of list. disappeared off the list. >> they didn't come back. they just off the list. >> they didn't come back. they just that off the list. >> they didn't come back. they just that would off the list. >> they didn't come back. they just that would suggest list. >> they didn't come back. they just that would suggest that and that would suggest that maybe some of them took a different on their ability different view on their ability and why that's important, because people who are truly disabled, to be able to disabled, we need to be able to give them as as possible.
10:40 pm
give them as much as possible. so have to a lot of them are so you have to a lot of them are desperate to work as well. >> exactly. a lot. a lot them >> exactly. a lot. a lot of them really right now. coming up. really are right now. coming up. coming up. coming up. sorry, alison. silly pronoun alison. our quote, silly pronoun arguments bigger, arguments distract from bigger, more worrying the more worrying issues like the rise china. kemi badenoch rise of china. kemi badenoch certainly so. debate certainly thinks so. we debate as crown tonight's greatest as i crown tonight's greatest britain union jackass. but britain and union jackass. but up harry up next, is prince harry stateside , loneliness taking its stateside, loneliness taking its toll on an increasingly disillusioned duke . so there are disillusioned duke. so there are rumblings that his overreliance on meghan markle's social circle is actually doing him. a lot of harm on royal mastermind lady colin campbell and phil dampier join me straight after this very, very short interlude. don't
10:41 pm
10:42 pm
time now for my royal mastermind , lady colin campbell and phil dampier . so prince harry is cut dampier. so prince harry is cut an increasingly lonely figure in
10:43 pm
recent times, skulking solemnly around the states and reports that he's considering relocating back here to the uk and our very own phil dampier has offered an inside perspective into harry's state of mind this week , state of mind this week, suggesting that the runaway royal is struggling without his own friendship. group leaving wife meghan free to control his social life. well, i'm very pleased to say that phil, alongside lady c, joins me now. so, phil , alongside lady c, joins me now. so, phil, what more can you tell us about that then ? us about that then? >> yeah, good evening, patrick. this is actually an interview that i gave to the sun the other day, and quite a few people seem to have picked up on it. i mean, i'm told on good authority that he's quite quite lonely. he's quite he's quite lonely. >> he's quite isolated in california. that's part california. so maybe that's part of meghan's plan to isolate him from as well as his from his friends as well as his family. i don't feel that family. i just don't feel that he's a group of mates to go he's got a group of mates to go out and have a few beers with and unwind and relax and talk about men. things about meeting men. things that we like do up the pub. we all like to do up the pub. and i think he's become
10:44 pm
completely on her for completely dependent on her for his mean, we see his social life. i mean, we see him things like the beyonce him at things like the beyonce concert basketball matches concert at basketball matches and things that, formula and things like that, formula one he was at. but he always seems to be with sort of, you know, corporate types, people that he works with. he doesn't seem a of seem to be with a group of mates. and i think this is having an effect on him. having quite an effect on him. and when think, i don't and when you think, i don't know, christmas know, talking about christmas in november, when you think christmas is coming up next month, you know, he'd be the third seen third christmas he hasn't seen his family. i think he's becoming quite lonely and quite isolated. any isolated. i don't have any information wanting to information about him wanting to move i think it move back here, but i think it started its on him. started to take its toll on him. yeah >> lady c, i mean, everyone could this coming, couldn't could see this coming, couldn't they? you married they? you know, you get married and of a sudden you cut and then all of a sudden you cut ties your you cut ties with your family, you cut ties with your family, you cut ties your longstanding ties with your longstanding friends. move consonant and friends. you move consonant and then horror. you've got then shock, horror. you've got someone pulling strings all someone pulling your strings all the time. >> yeah, but that's meghan's game . you know, meghan is game plan. you know, meghan is a dominator , and harry is dominator, and harry is a subservice ant. and what she has doneis subservice ant. and what she has done is she has isolated him
10:45 pm
from all of his old support group , family, friends. i mean, group, family, friends. i mean, the fact of the matter is, marion understanding is a lot of his english friends don't want to have anything to do with him anymore . uh, to have anything to do with him anymore. uh, but i mean, who does he have to be friends with? phyllis absolutely right. in america , the only person he has america, the only person he has who is his friend , as opposed to who is his friend, as opposed to somebody associated with meghan, is nacho figueras and he's right. absolutely. no one else does he have it's absolutely astonishing . i mean, he's he's astonishing. i mean, he's he's like a stock home victim . like a stock home victim. >> phil, are we too quick to blame meghan here? i mean, harry's a grown man , for harry's a grown man, for goodness sake, and he's got to sort himself out and see he's wandered into this situation . wandered into this situation. >> well, yeah, he has got to grow some. i suppose you could argue that that he needs to stand up to his wife, but we're not allowed to say that sort of thing these days, are we? it's
10:46 pm
sort of misogynistic, but no, i mean, like good mean, it's like any good marriage. should be a marriage. it should be a partnership. they should listen to but she ought to each other. but she ought to know for to be happy know that for him to be happy and marriage to be and for the marriage to be successful, has got to have successful, he has got to have some some outlets. he has got to be able to let off some steam. i mean, was living be able to let off some steam. i meithere, was living be able to let off some steam. i meithere, wasn't was living be able to let off some steam. i meithere, wasn't he? was living be able to let off some steam. i meithere, wasn't he? he living be able to let off some steam. i meithere, wasn't he? he might out there, wasn't he? he might have been a friend, but he's come back to england. people like john, he's over like elton john, who he's over in he's not to in europe, so he's not going to see him very often. so lady c's right apart from apart from the polo i don't really know polo player, i don't really know of any he's got out of any friends he's got out there. he is getting there. so he is getting increasingly isolated. >> maybe just >> i think maybe he's just not very company say well very good company lady. say well , actually used to be very , actually he used to be very good company. >> assured . i mean, i >> i'm assured. i mean, i haven't seen him since he was a little boy. and he, he and william used to play with my children. but you know, he always was supposed to be good company . and so, no, i think he company. and so, no, i think he was good company. but meghan's game plan has been to isolate him, and she has successfully achieved that, you know, but
10:47 pm
it's it goes along with her personality . she isolates people personality. she isolates people . well, that's how she has dominated and control and power. >> okay . all right. and phil, >> okay. all right. and phil, i suppose people like we were saying, could have seen this coming. the question is, what now? i mean, there is only so long somebody , especially if long somebody, especially if somebody has already had a few issues which has been very open aboutin issues which has been very open about in the past and mental health and everything like that can remain in vehemently unhappy for. can't you? and i wonder whether or not as well he's got this issue with his parents marriage splitting up and him not wanting to repeat the mistakes of the past. but is he just trapped and he he's a little bit trapped. >> i mean, there was this talk of him moving to new york as a sort of stopgap. i don't think that's really going to work. i think he needs to come back here a bit more often and maybe see some his old friends, even if some of his old friends, even if meghan doesn't come with him. i mean, i've said many times
10:48 pm
before, don't think she feels before, i don't think she feels particularly welcome the particularly welcome back in the uk i don't think she wants uk and i don't think she wants to back, maybe he to come back, but maybe he should on some private should come back on some private visits or some charities to visits or find some charities to get with again and that get involved with again and that might help. but the moment might help. but at the moment he's there and looking he's he's out there and looking a friendless. he's he's out there and looking a fr right,ss. he's he's out there and looking a fr right, look, ladies, see, >> all right, look, ladies, see, ijust >> all right, look, ladies, see, i just to ask you about i just want to ask you about a slightly different topic, but keeping in relation harry, keeping in relation to harry, because netflix series, the because the netflix series, the crown has been ramping again, crown has been ramping up again, hasn't a few hasn't it? and it's got a few deeply moments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's moments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's got moments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's got the moments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's got the death moments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's got the death ofwments in hasn't it? and it's got a few denit's got the death of diana. in it. it's got the death of diana. it's got this idea that she might have pregnant when might have been pregnant when she died. it's got the idea that she died. it's got the idea that she of some she might have been part of some kind of establishment plot to murder and there's murder her. and then there's the ghost you ghost scene as well. how do you feel? sorry for harry, for having this out there. i mean , having this out there. i mean, most people have this out most people don't have this out there about their mother, do they ? they? >> oh, i think netflix has pulled a very interesting one where harry is concerned and netflix has bought harry's silence . and let's wait and see silence. and let's wait and see what happens because the crown
10:49 pm
has been a huge success for netflix. harry has and meghan's off with netflix is chicken feed compared to the importance that they placed upon the crown and let's wait and see once this is all done and dusted . how long all done and dusted. how long harry and meghan's association with netflix is going to last? because what they have done is they have bought harry's silence. well with, you know, dangung silence. well with, you know, dangling a few million carrots underneath his nose . so it's a underneath his nose. so it's a really interesting dynamic. and mean, you know, i mean, nobody could pay me enough money to betray my parents, but i suppose harry's a different case. >> yeah , well, i mean, it would >> yeah, well, i mean, it would appear so. just final word to you on this, phil, then. do you feel as though netflix has bought harry's silence over his comments about potentially
10:50 pm
deeply insensitive of footage and dramatised footage, anyway, of his own mother's death and then resurrection as a ghost? yeah well, we know. >> we know he's going to watch it, don't we? he said that in the in the netflix series that he watches the crown. unlike other members of the royal family. so, you know, he probably has had his silence bought you know, it's this bought and you know, it's this business did say the other business i did say the other week thought it would be week that i thought it would be a thing if it stuck to the a good thing if it stuck to the facts that a new audience would get about but get to know about diana. but sadly, going start sadly, if they're going to start going into some of the conspiracy theories that she might have been pregnant or she was bumped off, then on, you know, afraid it's of know, i'm afraid it's a bit of a forlorn hope, but yes, on that on that. >> phil, sorry to cut across. we've long left. and we've not got long left. and a lady say, look, know, all of lady say, look, you know, all of these that are coming out these things that are coming out in the crown now, i know that it's a drama but the unfortunate reality is that this gets beamed out a lot out around the world. and a lot of just take as fact. of people just take it as fact. you know, was diana pregnant you know, it was diana pregnant at the time of her death. was she bumped off? >> she definitely was not bumped
10:51 pm
