talented. great producer. and anthony, what a guy. you can see. he's handsome . he's also see. he's handsome. he's also got money and he's fertile. i've personally checked and she knows something amazing . they got something amazing. they got married on zoom . a very modern married on zoom. a very modern marriage. that's right. because they've got family all over the place. they've tied the knot on the internet, and it was a very happy occasion. so dominic and anthony, this show is dedicated to you. bonne chance. happy days. okay folks, look, a busy two hours. it's going to be a cracking show. let me tell you. i will not disappoint. that is my guarantee. and we start with my guarantee. and we start with my big opinion. my guarantee. and we start with my big opinion . brits ins my big opinion. brits ins wokeist bank is at it again . wokeist bank is at it again. natwest not satisfied with de—banking nigel farage for having the wrong political opinions and compiling a dossier on the poor guy that contained over 80 references to brexit. they're now snooping on their

own customers to find out how environmentally friendly they are . the new environmentally friendly they are. the new app environmentally friendly they are . the new app that goes on are. the new app that goes on your phone or computer and which is aimed at ordinary account holders , will flag up the carbon holders, will flag up the carbon footprint of every purchase . in footprint of every purchase. in the good old days, you got told off by your bank for going over your card limit or your overdraft. now if you have the cheek to too buy much red meat, take a trip in a gas guzzling car or, god forbid, buy a flight to new york, there will be hell to new york, there will be hell to pay . now, this carbon to pay. now, this carbon footprint calculator is voluntary . it's just a voluntary. it's just a suggestion it might be nice if you did it, you'd be a better person. and you will serve the common good. think of other people. where have we heard that before? sounds familiar, doesn't it? do you remember those filthy muzzles that they made us wear dunng muzzles that they made us wear during the pandemic for which efficacy efficacy remains as elusive as a memorable james blunt song? well at the start of the pandemic, it was just a suggestion to wear a mask. it

might be a nice thing to do, but by the end they were forcibly covering the faces of everyone, including children as young as 11 in the classroom. i'm there are many parallels between the tyranny of the pandemic and debateable measures and the pursuit of net zero. in both cases , expensive don't make cases, expensive don't make a lot of sense. highly political. we're not allowed to debate it. and you're a bad person if you don't go along with it. all whilst i'm concerned about climate change and want to clean up the planet and get carbon emissions down, it feels that measures to do so are like covid the sequel. do what you're told or give up your freedoms. bankrupt the country. oh, and a multi—billion pound industry has the answer for covid it was the pharmaceutical companies for climate change. it's the green tech giants who will be the oil billionaires of the future if they're not already . so this they're not already. so this polite suggestion to track your .

polite suggestion to track your. carbon footprint may on the face of it, be a lovely opportunity to just be more aware of the impact of your spending habits. but ultimately this is borne out of behaviour science, which was used and abused over last used and abused over the last three it's nudging three years. it's about nudging you behaving differently you into behaving differently now. no force , at now. again, there's no force, at least not yet. but they've got their foot in the door . at what their foot in the door. at what point is this software going to be obligatory on your bank accounts ? they just have to accounts? they just have to flick switch. they? flick a switch. don't they? at what at the government's what point at the government's behest, do the banks slam carbon limits on your account at two ribeye steaks and a road trip to morecambe and you're maxed out of your carbon allowance? no more purchases until next week's rations become available . this rations become available. this is tyranny masked as empathy, an instruction cloaked as a suggestion and further proof of what could happen if we lose cash altogether . we're be under cash altogether. we're be under no doubt that global corporations and autocrat politicians, just as during the pandemic, have an ultimate goal,

which is to control your life and dictate your actions. and every movement don't let these utter bankers win . utter bankers win. okay, folks, your reaction . mark okay, folks, your reaction. mark at cbnnews.com . we'll get to at cbnnews.com. we'll get to your email shortly. here's what a natwest spokesman has said . a natwest spokesman has said. customers tell us that they want to take action to live more sustainably and to save money at the same time on things like energy bills. but they don't always know where to begin . the always know where to begin. the carbon tracker is an carbon footprint tracker is an opt in feature in our app that helps customers to see the carbon impact of their spending at an aggregate level and provides tips and suggestions to reduce this and to help them save to . money but what about save to. money but what about the views of my pundits? tonight, journalist and agony aunt hilary freeman, criminal barrister and former conservative mp jerry hayes, and

author broadcaster emma author and broadcaster emma wolf. let me start with you , wolf. let me start with you, emma. what do you think about this idea of a calculator on your which tells you how your app which tells you how much carbon you've used? >> well, these >> okay. well, these these things, say, as with things, as you say, as with masks, start off optional. masks, they start off optional. they so they become compulsory. so that's one thing. that's that's one thing. secondly exactly why secondly this is exactly why i objected to the whole de—banking of nigel farage thing, not because i'm actually concerned about where he puts his millions. he'll be fine, but it's because this slippery it's because of this slippery slope us, banks slope banks judging us, banks checking that our values align with their with their views . you with their with their views. you know, soon it's utility companies may be refusing us refusing to provide us with water, with electricity, whatever it is. shops. i don't know shops saying that we can't shop unless they snooping shop there unless they snooping on our social this is on our social media. this is really, really exactly why you don't want all this surveillance, why you don't want apps on your phone, why you don't this kind snooping don't want this kind of snooping on social media. don't on our social media. i don't think is right. also mark, think this is right. also mark, the do you really the hypocrisy. do you really think that the top bankers at natwest are not flying around

the world in their private jets to their caribbean islands? because i think if you took a look at what those ceos and the cfos doing in those cfos are doing in those companies, banks companies, in those top banks with huge eye—watering with their huge eye—watering bonuses, they're a little bit like meghan and harry, isn't it? one at a climate change one minute at a climate change conference, the next minute on a private to caribbean private jet to a caribbean island? >> most definitely. and also hillary, what polluting countries banks do countries do these banks do business saudi arabia, the business with? saudi arabia, the middle east, india , china, you middle east, india, china, you name it. no doubt they'll do business with anyone. >> exactly. but i do think you're overreacting slightly. i mean, have choice with mean, we all have a choice with which bank we want to be with. >> sure that if this >> and i'm sure that if this this takes off, there'll be a bank that says we don't have you know, we don't measure your carbon footprint people will carbon footprint and people will be go to that. actually, be able to go to that. actually, part it'll be quite part of me thinks it'll be quite a nice idea everybody has a nice idea for everybody has like allowance so you know if like an allowance so you know if you you get an allowance for your carbon footprint and you your carbon footprint and if you don't don't know you eat, you don't i don't know you eat, you eat vegetarian a week, eat vegetarian food for a week, you to go a flight to you get to go on a flight to france like water rationing. >> that's communism, isn't it?

something goes wrong, it's on suella or the police that isn't true leadership. rishi very excited about this. >> it's time for the big story. and are the west right to back israel in their response to the terror attacks of october the 7th? is israel's war our war. to answer this and to tackle some of the other massive issues facing the free world at the moment, i'm delighted to welcome the hugely popular us political commentator eater, bestselling author and star of the michael knowles show on the fast growing news website daily wire , news website the daily wire, michael knowles. michael, welcome to gb news.

>> thank you so much for having me. >> it's lovely to have you here. not as posh and smart as the studios of the daily wire, but we're working on it. you're much more financially responsible than we are. >> know, keep it >> you know, you keep it stripped down you get the stripped down and you get the most efficient way the most efficient way to get the news out there. >> correct. the money goes >> correct. all the money goes on my wardrobe. now let's talk about dreadful situation in about the dreadful situation in the is israel's war the middle east. is israel's war our war? >> it is literally our >> it is not literally our war in acknowledge in that we all acknowledge different nations have different interests. also interests. however, nations also have also in have allies and nations also in great have to a great conflicts have to pick a side. i was i was with a british priest friend of and he priest friend of mine, and he said, look , you might have some said, look, you might have some criticisms of policies of criticisms of the policies of the of israel, but it the state of israel, but it doesn't very to doesn't take very much to realise that we ought not to be on the side of the baby. b headers. and i once thought that was sensible position. but now was a sensible position. but now apparently controversial. apparently it's controversial. >> definitely. the >> well, most definitely. the left country, the woke left in this country, the woke left in this country, the woke left left. the left and the hard left. the progressives have definitely got behind cause, behind the palestinian cause, which course one be which of course one can be sympathetic plight of sympathetic to the plight of palestinian gaza. but

palestinian jews in gaza. but with people on the streets sort of cheering what happened on october the 7th, hours later, that that's that's pretty clearly taking sides, isn't it? >> well, of course. and i think if anyone on the right in the uk or america is confused about which side to be on here, just take a note of who's lining up on the pro—palestinian side. in the states, we have a notorious group called the squad, and that is aoc, rashida tlaib, ilhan omar far left members of congress who are avowedly pro i could say pro hamas. in fact, given the zeal of their support, the implication by implication certainly rashida tlaib has has a handful of flags outside of her office. the palestine flag, the state flag , the city flag the state flag, the city flag and the lgbt rainbow flag , no and the lgbt rainbow flag, no american flag to be found . and american flag to be found. and so the argument for the palestine liberation movement, the from the river to the sea palestine will be free. get rid of the state of israel. the

argument is, is the same argument is, is the same argument that the radical left makes against the united states and against the uk that we are colonisers , that we are colonisers, that we are oppressors. a white supremacy thrown in white supremacists . thrown in white supremacists. it's the same thing. >> even though israel is majority ethnic. but that doesn't the narrative, it? >> exactly. and is why >> exactly. and this is why immediately after that terror attack, black lives matter posted a shot on their social media pages not only of support for the palestine flag of a of a hamas paratrooper and saying, we stand with palestine because the same argument that's being used against israel is being used against israel is being used against us as well. >> stephanie, of course, the person that paraglided into israel on the 7th of october murdered upwards of 260 people at a peace music festival , was at a peace music festival, was certainly involved in that attack . we know the expression attack. we know the expression go woke, go we've seen go woke, go broke. we've seen a progressive left takeover of our pubuc progressive left takeover of our public institutions, corporations. much of the media, academia, showbiz has woke one. >> yes , yes. but nothing's >> yes, yes. but nothing's forever in politics. they won. but despair is a sin. and where

there's life, there's hope. and we've seen a really wonderful glimmer of hope in the united states with regard to the corporations. and that would be in the boycott of a company that i refer to as trans heiser bush. this would be ab inbev. they sponsored a prominent transgender activist and their sales tax. >> of course, they make they make budweiser and the particular product was bud light. bud light, which the light. bud light, which was the most beer in the country i >> -- >> it is now. you can't give it away. they actually did try to give it away to wholesalers and retailers. wants it retailers. nobody wants it anymore. has anymore. the thing has completely tanked and we just had report it remains had a report out it remains tanked. ab inbev's tanked. so even as ab inbev's worldwide revenues increased by about the period july about 5% over the period july through september, sales in the united states dropped 13.5. and it's because people are not going back to this. and the other thing that this tells us is counter to what some of the squishy conservative types would say, the ones who call them the wets in this country. i'll have to bring that back to america. all is just focus on

all they say is just focus on cutting taxes perhaps, leave cutting taxes perhaps, and leave the so—called social issues alone. what we have learned through unbelievably through this unbelievably endunng through this unbelievably enduring boycott gone on enduring boycott that's gone on from until today with from april until today with no end sight, is that this issue end in sight, is that this issue of the difference between men and women of in doctrine, nation in radical gender ideology, this is a winner for conservatives. it gave conservatives a blue commonwealth in the state of virginia, in america . it gave virginia, in america. it gave ron desantis, governor of florida popularity and florida, popularity there. and it is a winner because it turns out that social issues are rather important in society. >> most definitely . i mean, >> most definitely. i mean, people talk about how wokeism doesn't affect them. it's abstract. well a hurricane doesn't affect you until it reaches your house. right. and i think happening think that's what's happening with because now with woke stuff because now perhaps partner goes perhaps your female partner goes shopping and she's got to share a with a changing room with a biological male, and she feels afraid and she leaves and she says, i'm not going back to that shop. that's the reality of this stuff. a stuff. you actually made a fascinating documentary one fascinating documentary of one of a special all of your programs, a special all about somebody that you called or trans

or was described as a trans widow. what is that? >> a trans widow is a woman whose husband fallen into whose husband has fallen into this ideology abandons the this ideology and abandons the family pursue what is family to pursue what is effectively sexual fetish . in effectively a sexual fetish. in a of cases, this is a lot of cases, this is something that one is not permitted to talk about . but permitted to talk about. but these are the real victims, the wives and the children who have been left behind. and the numbers are sky rocketing. you know, the trans gender identification has gone through the among zoomers , gen z, the roof among zoomers, gen z, something like 1 in 5 zoomers identify as lgbt plus. so either there's something in the water or this is a social contagion and there is good research that shows that a lot of it has been dnven shows that a lot of it has been driven not only by social normalisation but also by ubiquitous online and all sorts of other social pathologies . and of other social pathologies. and so it's easy for the licentious campaigners to say, you do. you let people do what they want, let people do what they want, let your freak flag fly. but there are legitimate victims, not the least of whom are wives and children. well that's right. >> the government, the state

educators have a duty of care, as families children and as do families on children and young growing up. they're young people growing up. they're currently because currently being let down because there will be, won't there, in years generation of years to come. a generation of very angry and probably physically detraz physically unwell. detraz commissioners, people who had operations , got puberty blockers operations, got puberty blockers to change gender, then became adults regretted their adults and regretted their decision deeply. >> it's already happening. so you're now in the you're starting now in the states the lawsuits states to see the first lawsuits of heartbreaking stories. we've talked to a number of them of women , especially young women, women, especially young women, but young men, too, who were put on these these body destroying hormones and puberty, suppressing drugs that gives them things like osteoporosis, lifelong ailments. it could cut down their life span, infertility and infant ability, of course. and so now you're seeing lawsuits against not just doctors, but against whole medical associations , which have medical associations, which have recklessly, irresponsibly endorsed these experimental so—called treatments. you know, we look back now with horror on on procedures . is that that on procedures. is that that would scramble up a woman's

brains if she appeared to be hysterical. we look back on a lobotomy and say, this is ghastly. how but 20, 30 years from now, what will we say about the doctors, the quacks who rendered young children infertile based on a social and radical ideology? is there a flip side to that? >> which is to say that some people have gender dysphoria, they genuinely feel that they're in the wrong body and that they need medical support and public acceptance? argument? >> well, it would be the counter argument were to accept argument if one were to accept the the what the premise of the left, what the premise of the left, what the left believes is that lies are comforting , they're are comforting, they're strengthening. and the truth is very evil and oppressive. but i don't believe that. i believe that the truth will set you free. call me old free. called call me old fashioned. and so i got in trouble at the conservative political action conference, which is what you do brilliantly, way, getting brilliantly, by the way, getting in thank you very much. in trouble. thank you very much. it's profession. i think. it's my profession. i think. correct. i made the point at cpac, which was that for the good of society especially good of society and especially for of the poor people

for the good of the poor people who to this who have fallen prey to this confusion, ideology , the confusion, this ideology, the radical ideology must be radical gender ideology must be eradicated from public life entirely , the whole ideology, entirely, the whole ideology, because it harms everyone involved. there was a large study out of your country, by the way, the largest dataset ever looked at on the effects of the transgender procedure. surgical and hormonal. do they actually work to alleviate feelings of dysphoria , feelings of dysphoria, suicidality, anxiety, depression ? they don't. and in fact, not only do they not make any of those conditions better, but on one score on anxiety, they make the worse. so the conditions worse. so in medical we're supposed medical science, we're supposed to evidence . the to follow the evidence. the evidence is clear here. these experimental doctor experimental witch doctor treatments do not work. we need to stop them immediately, especially children. well, especially on children. well, one that one particular clinic that specialised in these procedures has been shut down, which i think tells you everything you need know. need to know. >> the tavistock centre. listen, let's biden. how let's talk about joe biden. how how is he still president? how did that happen? going did that happen? what's going on, joe biden was elected some say, because if joe biden were

to have popular support, he would have popular support because he represents a return to normal . to normal. >> joe biden has been in american public life since 1972, when he was elected to the united states senate. very long time. and so what people when they voted for joe biden, what they voted for joe biden, what they wanted was a return to normal after the craziness , the normal after the craziness, the wild presidency of donald trump . wild presidency of donald trump. >> what, you mean like growing economy and wars? economy and no wars? >> that's right. that's quite abnormal, because we abnormal, actually, because we have to normal. have gotten a return to normal. we're brink of world war we're on the brink of world war iii. economy is absolutely iii. the economy is absolutely in shambles. the us border is wide open. we have record millions millions illegal millions and millions of illegal auens millions and millions of illegal aliens crossing the country aliens crossing into the country every year . so in aliens crossing into the country every year. so in in every single year. so in in every single year. so in in every regard, things have gotten worse. and for some people that might be a return to normal. but if that's normal, please give me some eccentricity. can donald trump save america? >> will he be given the opportunity to do so? >> donald trump unless it's lightning, struck him tomorrow , lightning, struck him tomorrow, will be the republican nominee for president. the polling against joe biden is very good,

including in the swing states. what a lot of the election will come down to is whether or not that election integrity measures can put back into place after can be put back into place after they using the they were ripped out, using the excuse of the coronavirus in some cases, that has happened. in some cases, certain cities with machine politicians and active political machines don't seem to have been corrected yet. so i think if the election were held tomorrow fair and square , held tomorrow fair and square, everybody just casts a vote. trump would would in fact win the argument that he can't win a general election is preposterous. he already did it at least once 2016. however at least once in 2016. however will the voting rules of will will the voting rules of covid 19 prevent him from winning a fair and square election that remains to be seen. >> it's a great question. many on the left, i'm sure you'll agree, because i think you've got of viewers got plenty of viewers and listeners left hate listeners on the left who hate the woke stuff, the old school liberals, people like legendary comedian bill who doesn't comedian bill maher, who doesn't appreciate five year at appreciate five year olds at school being told they're racist or appreciate the idea or doesn't appreciate the idea that a new scientific fact is that a new scientific fact is that you can change your sex or

that you can change your sex or that america's history is shameful. many on the left reject now, and many reject this now, and many regular this regular people watching this show speak . there are show as we speak. there are wins. you mentioned bud light. what about disney? they've tied themselves in knots, haven't they, with various woke films that are bombed at the box office? but most notably snow white. happened there? white. what's happened there? tell my viewers and listeners what's on with that film, what's going on with that film, because more or less been because it's more or less been sort shelved year. sort of shelved for a year. >> i criticise disney. >> i cannot criticise disney. i won't do it because disney is filling up the coffers of the daily and beg them, daily wire. and so i beg them, please , more woke remakes of please, more woke remakes of your classic films and your classic beloved films and more and more people are going to tune out from disney, especially because disney is children's content. if you children's content. so if you don't kids being in don't want your kids being in indoctrinated in resentment and crazy ideologies, then you're going turn somewhere going to have to turn somewhere else. has just else. daily wire has just released that's released bent key. that's our children's we've announced children's app. we've announced that we're doing our own remake of which going to of snow white, which is going to be beauty of the be all the beauty of the original and none of woke original and none of the woke craziness. and i think it is no coincidence that shortly after our decided our announcement, disney decided to it another year to try

to give it another year to try to give it another year to try to rework their. >> it's truly astonishing, isn't it? snow white and the it? so it's snow white and the seven dwarves, the classic story, old story. they story, an age old story. they cancelled the dwarves in the name of political correctness, which means putting actors out of work. you couldn't make it up. >> you couldn't make it up. it seems always to just be opposite day. and so it's unfortunate because i thought maybe i could audition now for if the dwarves are going to be average sized, maybe i could audition. but i think they might be going back. feel sleepy to me. i i sleepy certainly grouchy when i look at disney's work but in the meantime i think bob iger got the and bud light sent the message and bud light sent that message loud and clear to corporate america. >> well, listen. go woke, go broke true for disney, but broke is true for disney, but you to you go from strength to strength. daily wire is a strength. the daily wire is a formidable network available to everyone around the so do everyone around the world. so do check and the michael check it out. and the michael knowles unmissable check it out. and the michael knowlin unmissable check it out. and the michael knowlin the unmissable check it out. and the michael knowlin the crown issable check it out. and the michael knowlin the crown of able check it out. and the michael knowlin the crown of that jewel in the crown of that place. michael, you for place. michael, thank you for joining been it for >> i've been saying it for years. thank you so much for having me. years. thank you so much for havwe'll e. years. thank you so much for havwe'll catch up soon. what >> we'll catch up soon. what a fascinating conversation. your

pundits? because jerry, you didn't memo about didn't get the memo about leopard skin, did you? didn't get the memo about leo no, skin, did you? didn't get the memo about leo no, likin, did you? didn't get the memo about leo no, i didn't.i you? >> no, i didn't. >> no, i didn't. >> hold on, hold on. this is leopard that is not this leopard print. that is not this is floral is my prescription. >> my prescription is so of >> my prescription is so out of date. thought we had two date. i thought we had two tigresses here. >> a tigresses. >> a tigresses. >> but i badly i badly got and i'm the raw meat. >> no, certainly. >> no, certainly. >> and mark and red tea. >> and mark and red tea. >> right. look, folks, >> right. well, look, folks, i'll you who's in at i'll tell you who's in red at the moment. bit of trouble is keir 16 labour keir starmer, 16 labour frontbenchers, jess frontbenchers, including jess phillips tan daisy. well phillips and tan daisy. well that's a good point. that is his colour. indeed. colour. who knew? yes, indeed. 16 frontbencher. will you 16 labour frontbencher. will you behave are pressurising keir starmer to call for a ceasefire in israel. one frontbencher went as far as to claim israel's military action against hamas will only lead to death and destruction. keir starmer maintains his position that israel have the right to defend maintains his position that israeinationthe right to defend maintains his position that israeination and�*ight to defend maintains his position that israeination and backs: defend maintains his position that israeination and backs aiefend maintains his position that israeination and backs a pause their nation and backs a pause in fighting. so could rising anger among labour supporters over his israel position bring down sir keir starmer ? down sir keir starmer? >> hillary no, i don't think it will. >> i think i think it will have

the opposite effect. >> i think he's actually showing for the first time in his political career since he became leader that he can make a decision and make a stand on one side and not sit on the fence. and i think it's actually a really good because it's now showing all the problems in the labour party that we knew about already that weren't gone with with corbyn. and you know, i think it's those councillors and those, those mps that will he can get rid of and if they want to go off and form another party, let them get rid of what, 15 of his frontbenchers and a third of his mps get rid of them. >> well, i'm not going to have a party left. >> benches. >> benches. >> i mean, i've heard some defences of labour, but to try and pretend that the current crisis is good for keir starmer, that's really pushing it. >> if he becomes if he >> he if he becomes if he becomes the prime minister, he is to have to be is going to have to be a statesman, a world statesman. he's you're he's going to have to you're going to have to deal with this. >> i mean, i think what hilary is is, is the first time is saying is, is the first time in that he hasn't sat in his career that he hasn't sat on fence. she's arguing,

on the fence. so she's arguing, yes, under pressure, but yes, he's under pressure, but perhaps he should perhaps this is what he should be doing. >> it is an uneasy compromise. he's kind of saying we want a humanitarian pause, can't humanitarian pause, but he can't quite say quite bring himself to say ceasefire. doesn't know ceasefire. he doesn't know what to and this is the moment he to do. and this is the moment he needs to step up and show what kind leader he will be. anti kind of leader he will be. anti semitism within the semitism is not dead within the labour semitism is not dead within the lab no, semitism is not dead within the lab n0, is not an >> no, keir is not an anti—semite right at all. >> he's a decent man. he's an honourable man, but he's got to try and control beast and try and control the beast and i don't think he can in. they've gone down points the gone down four points in the polls actually, as have the tories. interestingly, reform have up to the same level have gone up to the same level as the liberal democrats. this is intra testing. we're about a year a general election, we year off a general election, we think, and this will be a long war. >> this is something that labour have to deal with going fonnard. we've seen historically this is a problem . we know the corbyn a problem. we know the corbyn links with, you know, all sorts of unsavoury people . what is of unsavoury people. what is keir starmer's plan if his party is this divided right now? unfortunately, this isn't going to end soon. yeah. >> if he gets a large majority, which is unlikely , if he gets

which is unlikely, if he gets a majority , maybe 25, then he's in majority, maybe 25, then he's in serious trouble. >> most definitely because the corbynites will hold the whip hand over him. >> momentum, all those sorts of people because they're bubbling away . away. >> there certainly 30 or >> there are certainly 30 or so momentum or corbynite hard left figures on those back benches aren't there? yeah, but. but it seeps. that could be mathematically significant . mathematically significant. >> it seeps over the >> yeah. but it seeps over the two parties you look at two big parties as you look at the number of people, there's the number of people, there's the bristow, the mp paul bristow, peterborough. are a lot peterborough. there are a lot of. now let's you know, be sort of. now let's you know, be sort of to judge mental. let's put it like this a lot of all right. a lot of muslims in peterborough and he is going to find himself in difficulty more than that there are around 4 or 5 million muslim vote which he's going to need to try and well, well. and there's a hundred thousand people on the streets . and on people on the streets. and on sunday, remembrance sunday, there are people who will be dead demonstrating. it's appalling, indeed. at a moment of remembrance , we're going to

of remembrance, we're going to be discussing the ethics of that when the how the police can handle that, most definitely. >> well, they'll turn a blind eye they have for the last eye like they have for the last almost four weeks, changing their today. let's hope almost four weeks, changing thesee today. let's hope almost four weeks, changing thesee that. today. let's hope we see that. >> see at the weekend. >> we'll see at the weekend. we'll gerry it is keir we'll see. gerry it's it is keir starmer versus his own party. >> who wins? i really don't know. >> i suspect at the end of the day, the party will hold together as they did because they want party, they want power. however there will be groups in the constituent who will just say, no, no, no . you will just say, no, no, no. you go to manchester and you'll see a lot of people there who will say the biggest problem for us is palestine . now, it's not for is palestine. now, it's not for the majority of people in this country, but in muslim communities. it is there's a problem. how do we deal with it? i don't know. >> do we deal with it? well, listen , actually, a little bit listen, actually, a little bit later in the show, 1030, we're going beatles. going to talk about the beatles. they've new song out using they've got a new song out using an old recording from john lennon. but are they overrated? not everyone loves the beatles. we'll that shortly. but

we'll debate that shortly. but next up, looking fonnard to my mark. meat guest. and my god , mark. meat guest. and my god, this guy has got a story to tell . yes, indeed. we're going to discuss this crime because my mark meets guest is the top detective who brought evil serial killer levi bellfield, the man who murdered milly dowler to justice is evil . born dowler to justice is evil. born or bred colin sutton , who's or bred colin sutton, who's played by the actor martin clunes in the itv series manhunt , joins me live in the studio . a , joins me live in the studio. a fascinating conversation about the dark side of the human soul. why do people commit murder ? why do people commit murder? that's .

n ext next one of my strongest take at ten's ever tonight. yes at 10:00, marks and spencer wants to cancel christmas. you will not believe this. i'll be deaung not believe this. i'll be dealing with them at 10:00. but first, mark meets . on this

first, mark meets. on this evening one of the most respected law enforcers and officers of his generation . for officers of his generation. for nine years, colin sutton was the senior investigating officer for the metropolitan police . and the metropolitan police. and dunng the metropolitan police. and during his stint, sutton led more than 30 successful murder investigations , including two of investigations, including two of the most infamous cases in british history. sutton tenaciously and relentlessly pursued serial killer levi bellfield , as well as serial bellfield, as well as serial rapist delroy grant, a man known as the night stalker. he brought both men to justice. sutton's memories about the two cases were chronicled in two best selling books called manhunt out, and have been turned into a very popular tv series of the same name starring martin clunes . but colin sutton is far more handsome, and he joins me in the studio now. colin, great to have you with us. >> don't know about that, but thank you. >> very excited about the new series which is coming and it's

on the sky crime channel, which i do watch a fair bit. and it's called the real manhunter starts on 9:00. on monday at 9:00. >> it's the third series >> yeah, it's the third series is looking at some murder cases like two been. like the other two have been. but our unique take is that we do it from the point of view of the investigators, actors and the investigators, actors and the victims . it's not about the the victims. it's not about the perpetrators with us. it's not glorifying them. it's what effect act do these horrendous crimes have on the people who suffer from them and the people who try to pick up the pieces? >> oh, well, that's a very important perspective to have. >> let's about the most >> let's talk about the most high profile person you high profile person that you successfully justice successfully brought to justice leave vi bellfield covid outed of two murders and one attempted murder before being later convicted of the 2002 killing of 13 year old milly dowler . what 13 year old milly dowler. what were the nature of these crimes? what did he do exactly ? what did he do exactly? >> well, he he was in the habit of attacking young women who he'd propositioned from a car. >> he had a means of working

where he followed buses and could see, you know, potential victims, and he would follow the buses until they got off. and then choose his moment. and proposition them so he'd spot perhaps a young woman on her own on the bus. >> yes. and follow her until she got off. yeah. >> because at night the lights down by the by the exits of the bus and he could see them waiting to get off and he'd then go and make some suggestion to them invariably they them which invariably they declined . and when they did that declined. and when they did that he attack them. declined. and when they did that he and attack them. declined. and when they did that he and youtack them. declined. and when they did that he and you talkthem. declined. and when they did that he and you talk about this guy's >> and you talk about this guy's personality. he was mercurial . personality. he was mercurial. he could be charming and witty. at one point and then extremely aggressive seconds yeah, aggressive seconds later. yeah, yeah . yeah. >> i mean, the number of statements that we took in the investigation that started oh, i had a relationship with levi bellfield. and you start to think, how, why? but the answer was was very charming, very was he was very charming, very plausible. had the gift of the gab, if you like. at first sight. and then once he'd got you ensnared and he'd strike and

what motivated him was itjust a what motivated him was it just a desire to murder vulnerable young women ? young women? >> was he motivated sexually ? >> was he motivated sexually? and what drove this guy? i think there was there was certainly a sexual motive in the propositioning that started off, but there was no sexual element to the murders that was purely spite, anger . to the murders that was purely spite, anger. i understand it was cctv and phone records that helped catch him and some good old fashioned detective work on your part . your part. >> on my team's part. i have to say, you know, there were a lot of them, and i had some incredibly talented people that did that meant, you did the work that meant, you know, we had no forensic evidence. we had no dna, no blood, no fibres , nothing like blood, no fibres, nothing like that. it was a case of circumstantial evidence. but when you get enough of that , when you get enough of that, then it can prove compelling. and that's what it did. but that was three and a half years of solid investigator action by a really talented team looking at someone like this. >> this person in are people like bellfield are they born

evil or is it to do with upbringing and early life? what do you think ? do you think? >> i don't like to give an opinion because it's not really my bag. the psychology and you know, people sometimes sort of blanch when i say this, but i don't really care why they did it. i was just trying to prove who did it. and when they did it, you know. but i think with him, he was a strange person from a very early age and we know that. and he had a very kind of unusual relationship with his mother. and yeah, at the end of the day, he was probably just the most narcissist , sick, self—obsessed, narcissist, sick, self—obsessed, self—obsessed , morbid person. self—obsessed, morbid person. nothing mattered to him other than himself. nothing mattered to him other than himself . and so any nicer than himself. and so any nicer cases around the law or respect for other people, particularly for other people, particularly for women, were just completely lost, which could be characterised as as mental characterised as as a mental illness or perhaps a personality disorder illness or perhaps a personality distdoer illness or perhaps a personality distdo you think? >> do you think? >> do you think? >> yeah, i think i think it certainly a personality disorder . i'd hesitate say he was

. i'd hesitate to say he was mentally ill. he knew what he was doing. know, there's no was doing. you know, there's no question that he was, you know, not in control of what he was doing when he carried out these crimes is but he had personality defects times ten. yeah. could somebody like that rehabilitate ? somebody like that rehabilitate? >> could somebody like that ever change? i don't know. >> but from what i know about that individual, i don't believe he ever could bad news for the woman who's about to marry in june, he was granted the right to marry in prison. >> is that appropriate, do you think? >> no, i think it's entirely and wholly inappropriate. but not for the reason that many people might think. you most might think. you know, most people have said, oh, he's serving four whole life tariffs, which he is, so we shouldn't allow him to murder as if it's part of the punishment and part of him being incarcerated for me, the big issue is that how can somebody who is serving four whole life tariffs for abusing, assaulting, murdering women be

in a position where from behind bars he can influence another woman's life to the extent that she wants to marry him. and that's what we want. you know, we work hard. my team worked hard. we put him away to keep people safe. that's the best thing did was to actually thing we did was to actually prevent him assaulting and injuring and abusing hundreds of women the future. and yet women in the future. and yet we're allowing it from we're still allowing it from behind . behind bars. >> it's crazy. i understand the government office government and the home office want that loophole. want to close that loophole. well, come too soon. you well, can't come too soon. you also the night stalker. also caught the night stalker. somebody called grant . by somebody called delroy grant. by the time you took over the case, this guy had been active for a decade and 17 years. >> 17 years in total. 17 years. so what did he do? >> tell us about the nature of his crimes. >> he used to creep around at night spotting elderly people living alone, mostly women , but living alone, mostly women, but occasionally men. >> he would break into their house. he would wake them up to talk to them . so just imagine talk to them. so just imagine the terror you're in your 80s, you're alone in your bed and you're alone in your bed and you're awoken by having a black

clad mask like figure kneeling on you astride and shining a torch in your face. that's what he was doing. and then occasionally he would sexually assault them and very occasionally he would rape them. he would steal a small amount of jewellery or cash. nothing special . not not a huge amounts special. not not a huge amounts of money. and i'm sure for him it was all about the power. it was all about having wielding the power and being able sit the power and being able to sit there sometimes for two, three hours. he sit there hours. he would sit there talking to these people in their 80s as who were terrified, you know, of course they were terrified. and some of them , you terrified. and some of them, you know, they never went back to the house where it happened . the house where it happened. most definitely not. >> and will have hastened their passing cases. passing in many cases. >> yeah. he was >> absolutely. yeah. he was never charged with but never charged with murder, but he killed people . he he killed people. >> definitely, yeah. how do >> most definitely, yeah. how do you happy you go about striking a happy work balance when you've you go about striking a happy worito balance when you've you go about striking a happy worito deallance when you've you go about striking a happy worito deal with when you've you go about striking a happy worito deal with these you've you go about striking a happy worito deal with these casese you go about striking a happy worito deal with these cases ? is had to deal with these cases? is it difficult not to bring your work home with you? >> i never found it that difficult. personal journey, but i think that's just me. i kind

of had this compartmentalisation in my in my mind from an early stage. this is home. this is me. this is my life. that's what happens at work. but would not get you down. >> no, no, occasionally not. >> no, no, occasionally not. >> i mean, occasionally . when >> i mean, occasionally. when i realised that i'm you know, when someone dies, i'm the go to man for the eulogy. when, when, when you know things happen in friends and family and tragedies happen. people all sort of expect that i'll deal with it. and i generally do. and you know, because they think i'm hardened to it. but of course when it's people that you know andits when it's people that you know and it's friends or family, then you have to have that time to reflect and that time to mourn yourself. so, you know, i can't keep that going all the time. but so sometimes that worries me. it harden me too much? me. did it harden me too much? do know, am too i am do i, you know, am too i am i too much that way? but essentially, i, i a job to essentially, i, i had a job to do, which i loved doing, and i think i did to the best of my ability and made a difference. and all i wanted do

and that's all i wanted to do when i started, you know, it's a great legacy. >> you obviously have an amazing skill have gut skill set, but do you have a gut instinct you have a instinct as well? can you have a sense when somebody's lying or if perhaps , you know, you're in if perhaps, you know, you're in the of a variety of the company of a variety of suspects, you're thinking it's probably corner. probably that guy in the corner. do you a sixth sense? do you have a sixth sense? i wouldn't call it a sixth sense, but i think there's i always say that being a detective is about understanding people. >> you're looking at a >> and so you're looking at a set of circumstances and you're saying, okay, how might that person in those person have reacted in those circumstances? what's likely to have likely have happened? who's likely to have happened? who's likely to have how has it have done that? how has it happenedin have done that? how has it happened in that way? and i think that is something that you can't teach, and that's something that people do either have don't have . and can have or don't have. and they can they enhance it over their they can enhance it over their life with experience . but yeah, life with experience. but yeah, it's about understanding people and forming , you know, even and forming, you know, even delroy grant, you know , i knew delroy grant, you know, i knew what he'd done. how despicable he was. i had a lovely conversation with him about cricket in the charge room , and cricket in the charge room, and you need to do that. you need to put at the back of your mind

what these people have done, because you've got to relate to them. you've got talk to them. >> that's your job because you've got a job to do. >> and my goodness, you've done it so well. look at that. the sky crime channel, sky crime monday man monday at nine, the real man hunter. i'll be dealing hunter. next up, i'll be dealing with the marks and

sam allardyce, who'll be giving his team talk for the country. plus, i'll be asking big sam whether we've become note britain. plus tomorrow's newspaper, front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonight's top pundits. and they'll be nominating their headune they'll be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. a packed hour to come and those papers are on the way. if gerry hayes behaves himself. first up, my take . at himself. first up, my take. at ten. bah humbug . amidst all of ten. bah humbug. amidst all of the confected noise around marks and spencer's newly released christmas advert in which they appear to be burning, a palestinian flag, even though the advert was recorded in august, but for which they apologise anyway, there was a far greater scandal from this years far greater scandal from this year's festive offering. the idea that marks and spencer were somehow knowingly burning a palestinian flag is a joke. but the fact that the advert itself effective cancels christmas and

all of its meaning is no laughing matter. christmas is a time of joy and all of the imagery associated with it christmas cards, party hats, mini santas is what christmas is all about. and something to be looked fonnard to. but marks and spencen looked fonnard to. but marks and spencer, a shop for which i have huge affection , decided to torch huge affection, decided to torch all of that quite literally in this bonkers new ad . in this bonkers new ad. in a bizarre act of cultural vandalism, the poor old angel at the top of the tree is replaced with wait for it a loo roll . with wait for it a loo roll. what an insult. meanwhile with wait for it a loo roll. what an insult . meanwhile 90s what an insult. meanwhile 90s p°p what an insult. meanwhile 90s pop supremo sophie ellis—bextor takes a blowtorch first to a cake and then to some christmas cards as the fire brigade will love that one. meanwhile one of the characters takes a board game , a staple of christmas fun, game, a staple of christmas fun, picks it up and just chucks the

pieces in the air, most of which lands in a fish tank. charming in another strangely violent scene, one reveller gets on to the roof of the house. isn't that a bit dangerous? and throws a miniature father christmas doll into the air and smashes him into the sky with a roll of wrapping paper? poor little chap . another scene that's been cut out because of a mystifying and non existent parallel with the israel hamas conflict involves someone chucking a party hat into the fire. again, quite hazardously with bits of the burning hat falling off the fireplace . what the hell are fireplace. what the hell are these people on when they make these people on when they make these adverts ? well, i can guess these adverts? well, i can guess and i don't think it's eggnog. how many kids will watch that fireplace scene and think of throwing something made of paper into the fire themselves , into the fire themselves, potentially ending in tragedy . potentially ending in tragedy. the advert is strangely reckless , as is the message taking a blowtorch to centuries of tradition. and not just mocking,

but desecrating the iconography that surrounds our national celebration . last but not least, celebration. last but not least, another character in this ad takes a load of christmas rubbish . you got hats wrapping rubbish. you got hats wrapping paper , that kind of thing. paper, that kind of thing. throws it into a special machine like a garden shredder chucks debns like a garden shredder chucks debris into the sky. so much for eco friendly and making an almighty mess at the same time. great messaging . and that's my great messaging. and that's my problem with the advert. the message that christmas apparently is naff. it's old fashioned and it's somehow bad that the treasured rituals passed down. generations are something to be rejected, destroyed, vandalised and thrown away. am i overreacting? am i exaggerating ? you tell me. but exaggerating? you tell me. but i will humbly point out that as many large companies have quietly tip axed out the word christmas from their products in recent years . as with the rather recent years. as with the rather tedious and anodyne american

alternative of happy holidays or season's greetings . so this season's greetings. so this advert literally removes the word christmas at the end. that's right, folks. marks and spencer who make a disproportionate amount of their money during the festive season , money during the festive season, have cancelled the word christmas . this make it have cancelled the word christmas. this make it make sense ? it's worth noting that sense? it's worth noting that the part of the word that they removed is christ from christmas. make of that what you will, but i'd love to see other religious festivals have their name adulterated in such a way . name adulterated in such a way. i won't hold my breath . yes, i won't hold my breath. yes, folks, the final line in the advert and the slogan is love this mess . advert and the slogan is love this mess. not advert and the slogan is love this mess . not that mess. except this mess. not that mess. except that christmas, you know, the old christmas, which will no doubt soon become a four letter word is enjoyed by millions of people in this country and not exclusively christians and people of all backgrounds, races , colours, religions and denominations enjoy. what is the national celebration of this country? but which is quietly

being eroded by right on corporations who, like so many things from our past, see it as a source of embarrassing moment. i honestly think there gradually trying to cancel christmas. why else would they get rid of the word but not on my watch? i don't know about you, but i'll be doing the cards. i'll be doing the mini santas, the angel on the tree, the party hats, you name it. i'm sorry, but that advert is the biggest turkey you'll see this christmas . let's you'll see this christmas. let's hope it's given a good stuffing . hope it's given a good stuffing. marks and spencer's have gone christmas crackers . now will christmas crackers. now will this suit me? is it my colour ? this suit me? is it my colour? perfect. merry christmas . one perfect. merry christmas. one and . all listen, can we get and. all listen, can we get chloe in to hand out some crackers to my lovely pundits?

that would be amazing. listen let's get reaction now from journalist and agony aunt hilary freeman , author and broadcaster freeman, author and broadcaster emma wolf and criminal barrister and former tory mp gerry hayes. jerry m&s have cancelled christmas . you couldn't make it christmas. you couldn't make it up. appalling. >> it's absolutely appalling. i haven't seen the ad, but christmas is a time of joy. christmas is a time of joy. christmas doesn't really start until the john lewis advert, doesit until the john lewis advert, does it ? really? and until the john lewis advert, does it? really? and you want that just warm, fantastic feeling of happiness . it's feeling of happiness. it's children being wonderful. it's all a bit fake and all the rest of it. but at the end of the day, that's what we want. my gosh, the people who will be so upset by this will cause a lot of financial problems. for marks and spencer's and rightly so. who are the people who actually put this ad together and why did marks and spencer's actually pay them to do it? insane. you are totally right. christmas cracker is brilliant. >> so to right. is brilliant. >> soto right. can we is brilliant. >> so to right. can we get chloe in? i've got some crackers,

please. it's an instruction from the host. listen, what do you think about this? hilary? i mean, i'm genuinely shocked they've taken the word christ out of christmas. can you imagine that happening with any other religion? >> well , because they don't have >> well, because they don't have christmas marks. christ, no, but can you imagine ? can you imagine? >> no, but, jerry, can you imagine if you if you changed the word the word hanukkah or or eid or diwali? can you imagine if you took elements of that word out? it wouldn't happen, would it? would it, hilary? >> it would. it wouldn't happen. but crackers . but crackers. >> there we go. we've got the crackers, folks. >> here we go. but you know what? i think the adverts every yean what? i think the adverts every year, they have to make them different. they have to make them something new. and you know how many times can you have the same scene ? and i think same scene? and i think actually, in some ways this is quite a nice sorry, i don't know what's going to on my left. this is quite you know, it's quite a nice idea. you know, we you don't have to do this for

christmas . you don't have to christmas. you don't have to spend money that. you don't spend money on that. you don't have set to your have to just set fire to your just set fire to the house instead. >> no, no, it's metaphorically speaking. >> i don't think you're actually being advised fire to being advised to set fire to anything. but, you know, just have own christmas. have your own christmas. enjoy it have to do the it. you don't have to do the same thing every year. you don't. you know, exhausting don't. you know, it's exhausting having this and make having to make this and make that and this person. so that and invite this person. so i that's the kind of i think that's the kind of spirit of the advert. but obviously that doesn't really make either because make any sense either because m&s to buy their m&s wants you to buy their crackers hats and crackers and their hats and their or whatever. so their mince pies or whatever. so yeah, a crazy. yeah, it is a bit crazy. >> it's a horrible, horrible. >> it's a horrible, horrible. >> well, the thing is, emma, i don't cancel people, not on my watch. >> i just won't have it. but. and i'll be going m&s. okay and i'll be going to m&s. okay i'll actually one across i'll there's actually one across the like. we should point the road i like. we should point out that a gb news really our only around this is m&s. only option around this is m&s. i like m&s, but i really think on a sunday morning think on a sunday morning i think they've the ball on this they've dropped the ball on this one. they've sent a message which that hate the which is that we hate the traditions of christmas and they've the word they've got rid of the word christmas. got a christmas. yeah you've got a young son, what do you think

about messaging? if was about this messaging? if he was to watch ad when he's a bit older? >> well, no, you make a really good point. and i think christmas is about little, little it is about little people. it is about children. think it's children. and i think it's really, sad. firstly, really, really sad. but firstly, the advert a turkey. i don't the advert is a turkey. i don't understand what it's trying to say or what it's i think say or what it's doing. i think it's i think it's ridiculous and i think a lot it's m&s customers, lot of it's m&s customers, they're the traditional ones. they're the ones who buy the turkey the mince pies and turkey and the mince pies and all that stuff. so i think all of that stuff. so i think that's a real shame. but more seriously, mark, i think that christmas is increasingly being cancelled my cancelled and you refer to my three his three year old son in his nursery. i notice it more nursery. he, i notice it more and more. there's black history month. month they month. there's this month they celebrate but christmas celebrate diwali. but christmas is almost celebrated all. is almost not celebrated at all. you festive but you have festive season. but what with celebrating what is wrong with celebrating our british traditions? our christian traditions? they're just traditions . you don't need just traditions. you don't need to be religious to celebrate christmas. but is wrong christmas. but what is wrong with kids being able to celebrate this stuff, enjoy this stuff, the tinsel and the stuff, enjoy the tinsel and the fairy on top of the tree and decorating the tree and the baubles and the mince pies and i was thinking about my late

father who to put pound father who used to put pound coins into the christmas pudding and set it fire with brandy. and set it on fire with brandy. that's christmas is about. that's what christmas is about. >> and you're still alive. i'm still on fire. >> but what's a couple of choking children between friends? >> oh, absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> okay. well, listen, let's have jonathan. let's have a wide shot. let's have you guys opening those crackers. let's let's have an early christmas. >> we allowed to pull >> are we are we allowed to pull each crackers? each other's crackers? >> pull it? you've pulled two crackers jerry. oh, okay. >> pull it? you've pulled two cratready jerry. oh, okay. >> pull it? you've pulled two cratready ? jerry. oh, okay. >> ready? >> ready? >> now , hang on. what do >> oh, now, hang on. what do i get? oh, sorry , sorry, sorry. get? oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. >> your cracker was missing your crackers . crackers. >> i've got a silver spring . >> i've got a silver spring. >> i've got a silver spring. >> there you go. jerry could do with that. yeah, i've got a padlock and a key, which is rather away. >> the key. it's worrying . i'm >> the key. it's worrying. i'm not quite sure . not quite sure. >> and hillary's got a yo—yo just like keir starmer opinions. listen brilliant stuff. i was shocked in that advert. they take the little the mini elf and they whack him into the sky. that's not going to happen to this little chap, right? i'm not

sure what we should call him, but let's give him a little nickname. let's call him. >> call him national. the national elf. there you go. >> that's what >> there you go. that's what he's elf. folks, he's national elf. and folks, there you go. i'm sorry. marks and spencer's, but mark dolan and spencer's, but on mark dolan tonight, continue to tonight, we will continue to celebrate christmas in its celebrate christmas in all its glory. celebrate christmas in all its glory “pl celebrate christmas in all its glory. up, big sam glory. next up, big sam allardyce britain allardyce does britain lack leadership? england leadership? former england manager is

>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back to the show. i'm to going catch up on emails at 1030. apologies. it's been such a busy hour and a half, but it's time now for the newsmaker. and this week, the official covid inquiry looking into the government's response to the pandemic saw a foul mouthed tirade from boris johnson's former chief adviser , dominic former chief adviser, dominic cummings, our ex cummings, describing our ex prime minister johnson as a trolley bouncing from one direction to another , adding direction to another, adding that he was unfit to be prime minister. a picture emerges of

chaos and disorder at the heart of government % and an ongoing of government% and an ongoing debate about whether the extraordinarily expensive and damaging covid lockdowns were even justified in the first place. so was the country's covid response a failure of leadership? who better to ask than tonight's newsmaker ? than tonight's newsmaker? legendary former football manager with bolton wanderers, newcastle blackburn , west ham, newcastle blackburn, west ham, everton, and of course , england, everton, and of course, england, sam allardyce. sam brilliant to have you back on the show. you've heard about the chaos at number 10 during this time of national crisis, the pandemic that's not how you'd run a dressing room, is it? >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. >> i mean, the first thing in terms of leadership markers we all know is comes from the top. >> and if the top doesn't function in the right way or the right direction, as difficult as this pandemic was to cope with and know what was going to happen, he should have formed a committee as quickly as possible with professionals, with the right professionals, with the right professionals, with right leadership, and with the right leadership, and guide those people who were

giving the advice and take the advice on board. >> it appears that a lot of the advice he seemed to have ignored and that's he many and that's why he got many people so frustrated. but on top and that's why he got many pealle so frustrated. but on top and that's why he got many pe all that, rustrated. but on top and that's why he got many pe all that, it'srated. but on top and that's why he got many pe all that, it's what'siut on top and that's why he got many pe all that, it's what's comingnp of all that, it's what's coming out now, isn't it? it's the parties. it's the, you know, the easing of the rules in from what they had put out and what everybody else had to adhere to, what was getting fined for. people were were dying in the in the in the care homes it was sending them home in the care homes without testing them. it was all sorts and was doing all sorts and unfortunately these these guys were coming out and having a party, having a birthday party and seemed to be doing what they wanted. but the most important thing out what really thing is finding out what really happened this in this happened in this in this in this committee. that's looking at the situation , what people have to situation, what people have to say, and drawing the conclusion from but what is a big from it. but what is a big question from me is what happens to them ? what is the punishment to them? what is the punishment if they are found guilty? what will happen to them? probably nothing , i will happen to them? probably nothing, i would think that's right. >> at the moment it looks like

it will be a slap on the wrist at best. plus it won't report big sam until about 2026. what's the point in that ? the point in that? >> well, they all hope. like everything else, there's a disaster in this country. you know , look at the hillsborough know, look at the hillsborough disaster . was it 30, 30 odd disaster. was it 30, 30 odd years before where nobody went to prison for that one? you know , i think that what's happening there, that in six years time that somebody will have forgotten about it, will have moved on and they can quickly bnng moved on and they can quickly bring report out and move bring the report out and move away. and that's obviously what this country does. mean , it's this country does. i mean, it's a bit like 2008 when the bankers went into nobody seemed to went under into nobody seemed to be taking any any, any any sort of punishment for what they'd done, how they completely financially broke the broke the world never mind broke this country and we're still paying back for that. never mind paying back for that. never mind paying back for that. never mind paying back for the pandemic as we are now. >> most definitely. we bailed out the bankers. sam i'm not sure much has changed since the pandemic . the tories are behind

pandemic. the tories are behind in the polls, but i don't detect any great enthusiasm for labour either. many people feel politically homeless. do you think this country has got the leadership it needs ? leadership it needs? >> no. no i would like to say here and now i would like to support for the next general election and unfortunately, mark, i just do not have anybody i can hang my hat on. i haven't got confidence and fortunately, anybody i'm sitting , i'm anybody i'm sitting, i'm watching, i'm listening , anybody i'm sitting, i'm watching, i'm listening, i'm reading. but no one's coming out with the right sort of way fonnard for this country. that's is devastated at the moment . and is devastated at the moment. and from within, it's rotting. it's going under . and somebody's got going under. and somebody's got to stop it. like you mean, because we are suffering and we are suffering really, really bad . and i don't know when that suffering is going to stop because we are in poverty . we because we are in poverty. we have got nurses going to going to food banks just to just to survive. we can't pay the i

mean, even car insurance went up 61. a i mean, there were people going to cope . what are they going to cope. what are they going to cope. what are they going to cope. what are they going to do? people are going on strike for a fair wage to live. and the government for years and years and years have deprived them of a wage. so when them of a fair wage. so when they to get they try to they try to get it, they try to block giving them 5% is block them, giving them 5% is neither here or there. you know what actually deserve on what they actually deserve on the they have only taken the years they have only taken one and 2. when they try and get that back, no chance. and that back, it's no chance. and that's the government is that's where the government is really failing. it's really putting before people's putting money before people's lives . lives. >> think any of the >> do you think any of the smaller parties might be the answer? would you look at richard and uk . at richard tice and reform uk. at this moment in time? >> i haven't had a long or in—depth look at the policies that they've got. mark that's that's probably my fault from now on. obviously with the election coming up, maybe next yean election coming up, maybe next year, will it be yea yea yea next year will start. i will start to have a look at seeing what people are saying and see

where my vote should or shouldn't go and i hope somebody will come out at the forefront and really excite me about the way fonnard . way fonnard. >> definitely. look, it's the same in football . this country same in football. this country needs strong management . same in football. this country needs strong management. sam, can we talk about the health of this country? because a new study, big sam, has found that the average british employee took almost eight days off sick in the 12 months to september. thatis in the 12 months to september. that is up from six days a year, four years ago, 30 years ago, it was two days off. sick a year. now, i've got to say, i know people in my parents generation, sam, who didn't take a day off for their whole career. have we become sick? note britain well, yes. >> i mean, it's easier, isn't it? i think we can google , we it? i think we can google, we can google our symptoms and we can google our symptoms and we can we can look at the google and see those symptoms and make ourselves feel feel a lot, lot worse than we really are. but i think , unfortunately, it's think, unfortunately, it's probably down to the way we live today. i think we've eroded our

immune systems because the way we live in this country now, because it's so free and so easy, those are those systems that we used to have that could fight the bugs off, that could fight the bugs off, that could fight the bugs off, that could fight the flu off could fight the cold off. so we could still go to work a long gone it affects us much greater now because our immune systems are much less now than i think than they be when we were or they used to be when we were or certainly when i was growing up, because, i mean, i would go out and out for hours and play out for eight hours a day in summer. i would have day in the summer. i would have eaten dirt. i would be covered all over it. would don't all over it. i would i don't think got a cold or think i've got a cold or anything like that till i was into my you know what into my 30s, you know what i mean? but now you're right. obviously it's we have obviously it's changed. we have to change. saying to accept change. i'm not saying we shouldn't, perhaps we shouldn't, but it's perhaps left little bit bit left everybody a little bit bit more susceptible to these bugs that getting . that we are getting. >> well, you've always put >> well, sam, you've always put a shift whether as a top a shift in whether as a top player or top coach and of course, a brilliant commentator as always privilege course, a brilliant commentator as have always privilege course, a brilliant commentator as have you always privilege course, a brilliant commentator as have you on vays privilege course, a brilliant commentator as have you on the privilege course, a brilliant commentator as have you on the show. ilege course, a brilliant commentator as have you on the show. we'll to have you on the show. we'll catch up soon. >> cheers. mark, may i just say they wonderful christmas in

metropolitan commissioner, says, oh, new laws , we don't oh, we need new laws, we don't if i say let's kill the jews , if i say let's kill the jews, well, that's against the law . if well, that's against the law. if well, that's against the law. if we say so , support israel. we say so, support israel. that's not against the law. if we say , okay, let's support we say, okay, let's support palestine , it's not against the palestine, it's not against the law. but if we say let's support hamas because they're doing a really good job, it's a it's a problem . the problem it is not problem. the problem it is not difficult . difficult. >> there are some grey areas like from the river to the sea, which jewish people think means wipe out all the jews from israel and some people think doesn't mean that just means that palestine should be free. well, you leave that alone because the jury has several interpretations. >> jihad can struggle or holy war. >> a jury has to be satisfied so that they are sure. and if they're not sure, that's not going to happen. but the law is there for and something we spoke about at the top of the program, which was armistice day remembrance sunday. look, this is about remembrance. it's about

celebrating people who gave their lives. it's not about political protests . it wouldn't political protests. it wouldn't be against the law to march , but be against the law to march, but it would be absolutely wrong for that to happen . it desecrates that to happen. it desecrates the names of all the people who died for armistice day. >> and i obviously support freedom of speech and protest, but i do think there's a good argument , actually, for saying argument, actually, for saying this march cannot ahead even this march cannot go ahead even from an operational point of view for the police , if that's view for the police, if that's the excuse they need use this the excuse they need to use this march go ahead. these march cannot go ahead. these mass marches on armistice day, the police simply have enough to cope with on armistice day with a of public celebrations, a a lot of public celebrations, a lot central london. i mean, lot of central london. i mean, i cycled through these protests in king's tonight and they king's cross tonight and they were shouting peace right now. peace right it it did peace right now. and it it did feel fairly peaceful, but quite, quite tense in a funny way. but i do think that this is not the day for these protests to be allowed to go ahead. and i don't know from a legal point of view from a and order point, can from a law and order point, can it be can it be stopped another

day? >> there are various provisions to stop number of people to stop the number of people all protesting, which is not a good idea. but, you know what'll happen. we'll ban it. it won't happen. we'll ban it. it won't happen. and some complete from what's name of that what's the name of that extinction rebellion? we'll throw load of stuff over the throw a load of stuff over the king yeah, that's what will happen. i mean, hillary , this is happen. i mean, hillary, this is a day for the war dead to be remembered. >> yes. >> yes. >> and you know, these >> yeah. and you know, these protests happening every protests are happening every single weekend. this is not a one off protest. every single weekend they're getting bigger and and louder and and bigger and louder and louder. and people are just louder. it's and people are just joining now. it's almost joining them now. it's almost like instead of going to primark on afternoon, let's like instead of going to primark on and afternoon, let's like instead of going to primark on and a afternoon, let's like instead of going to primark on and a protest.)n, let's like instead of going to primark on and a protest. it's.et's go and join a protest. it's primark has been noticeably quieter, must say, the last quieter, i must say, the last couple of weekends. >> but a serious note, >> but but on a serious note, though, i have i have though, too, i have not i have not into town in last not gone into town in the last few with my daughter. few weeks with my daughter. >> because it's worth >> yes. because it's worth pointing that you're jewish. pointing out that you're jewish. yes, i'm jewish. >> jews this >> are jews safe in this country? did you jews feel safe? did jewish children feel safe? >> moment do not. i'm >> i at the moment do not. i'm not i do not feel not sure. i do not feel particularly safe. i'm not sure. i'm not sure. i do not feel
