9:10 pm
and saying, why aren't you there? because they're morally superior to us. and i just think it's interesting that they've jumped it doesn't matter jumped on. it doesn't matter what, they're just what, cause they're just narcissists who are who are intent causing mayhem, both intent on causing mayhem, both for the for this government and for the for this government and for everyone. so doesn't matter what. cause it's like rent a cause , you know, we'll go cause, you know, we'll go anywhere to anything. and it's just interesting. this. this this, this study says that it's, you know, they they need to promote themselves in a positive light . they tend to be very kind light. they tend to be very kind of people who aren't happy with their own lives. and so they try to make themselves look better and feel morally superior by joining these things. and they're looking down on the rest of and saying, you're of us and saying, because you're not in march, because not in this march, because you're supporting cause not in this march, because you'r but supporting cause not in this march, because you'r but thatiporting cause not in this march, because you'r but that woman cause not in this march, because you'r but that woman seems use not in this march, because you'r but that woman seems to; now, but that woman seems to completely everyone on those marches seems to have completely forgot precipitated them, forgot what precipitated them, which is the october the 7th attack by hamas in israel. so never mind those kids who were murdered there and the kids who were there. but yeah , but were raped there. but yeah, but look, benjamin, you know, many

true, it, peter ? true, is it, peter? >> well, i can assure you this bookis >> well, i can assure you this book is not about indoctrinating or propagandising children at all. it's about encouraging and understanding tolerance and acceptance and respect it. >> it's designed to tackle the bullying of trans kids in our schools, which no parent, i think, would approve of. >> we don't want any child called trans or otherwise to be bullied or teased or to feel unsafe or unincluded . so this unsafe or unincluded. so this bookis unsafe or unincluded. so this book is just simply it's about love kind and friendship. it's about accepting people who are different from yourself and the bafic different from yourself and the basic principle applies across the board. you know, accept people of different faiths or races , accept people of races, accept people of different cultural backgrounds. it's a story of tolerance, not a not of lucy. >> come back to that and then do you agree with that ? you agree with that? >> no, i don't agree with that . >> no, i don't agree with that. why do anti—bullying policies have to focus on one particular
9:26 pm
group? if you're teaching children not to bully people , children not to bully people, you should be teaching them not to bully anyone. they don't have to bully anyone. they don't have to focus on on one particular on one particular group. and actually comparing transgender ideology faiths ideology to two different faiths is also well, suppose i suppose in a way it could be seen as a religion because there's no there is no basis to say that there's such a thing as a trans, as a trans child. it's actually harmful to say that children are transgender and we certainly don't believe that this transgender and we certainly don'thislieve that this transgender and we certainly don'this is ve that this transgender and we certainly don'this is this that this transgender and we certainly don'this is this is that this transgender and we certainly don'this is this is something this this is this is something that exists. yes. >> okay. now, peter, it's not really this book, though, really just this book, though, is know what we're is it? i know that's what we're centring discussion on centring our discussion on today, it's not really just today, but it's not really just this because parents are this book because parents are also about very also very concerned about very young being taught young children being taught about sexual about quite graphic sexual things like anal sex and orgasms and do kids really need to be taught about that in school? >> think you'll find >> no, i don't think you'll find that any young children are being those issues. being taught about those issues. but think happen is but i think what may happen is that older children, 16 and plus may have those issues raised can
9:27 pm
i just ask can i just ask them on that? >> do you do you seriously think that do you seriously think that when parents are quoted in the media to as saying this is what my child is being taught at school and they're horrified about that, do you think they're lying? >> well, there may be 1 or examples. >> isles, but it's not representative of what's happening in the vast majority of schools. and certainly all the teachers i know say very clearly that for young children , clearly that for young children, particularly primary school children, there is nothing being taught about sex. it's all about love. different families and relationships . it's about relationships. it's about letting young kids know that, you know, some people will have two parents, a mum and a dad. some will live in an extended family with perhaps grandparents or cousins or aunts, and some will live in same sex families. that's not about sex. it's just about the reality of modern british family life. lucy in your work at the family education trust, do you have you come anything that
9:28 pm
come across anything that refutes what says there ? refutes what peter says there? >> so much evidence. >> there's so much evidence. there's reams of evidence that there's inappropriate relationship and sex education in schools at all levels. primary schools and secondary schools. so much of this is taught to children under the age of legal consent. it is inappropriate. it teachers are not therapists. they're not doctors. teachers should not be teaching children about what? about explicit sex acts and about sexual pleasure. is inappro appropriate in schools? and it shouldn't be shouldn't be happening. parents don't want it . the majority of parents don't want it. and parents are the primary educators their primary educators of their children to children. it's not up to teachers and shouldn't be up teachers and it shouldn't be up to the state to decide who teaches about teaches children. about about explicit sex acts. it's just not unnecessary in schools. and it's harmful. >> peter, some people are very concerned. peter some people are very concerned. peter that what this means is that it opens up a door where people think that children from a very young age are able to consent about, about
9:29 pm
their sexual identity and their gender and then off the back of that may indeed then be able to consent to other sexual things that as children, they should not be able to do . or the theory not be able to do. or the theory there will be that this is a could be a vehicle for paedophilia. your views as well. >> it certainly should not be such a vehicle and paedophilia is abhorrent, but i can assure you that the purpose of relationship and sex education in schools is to protect young people against abusive relationships , against dangerous relationships, against dangerous diseases like hiv and against just bad relationships where one person bullies and controls the other. it's all about promoting the health and welfare of young people. and we know from the surveys that most parents say they want their children to be educated about relationships and sex in schools , that they sex in schools, that they themselves don't feel able and
9:30 pm
capable of doing it. themselves don't feel able and capable of doing it . and they're capable of doing it. and they're very grateful that teachers do it. and the end result is that where schools do this, they have lower rates of teenage pregnancies and abortions, lower rates of hiv and lower rates of sex abuse. all right. so good quality sex education works . it quality sex education works. it protects young people , which is protects young people, which is what lucy want. >> do you think that if parents see literature like this book, introducing teddy, a story about being yourself, being taught to their kids, that they will be within their rights to pull their children out of school, i think that what we actually need, we need the government to restore the right for parents to withdraw their children from relations and sex education. >> at the moment that they can withdraw their child from sex education. the problem is, education. but the problem is, is that they can't withdraw them from relationship education, which a of this which is where a lot of this indoctrination and sexualised children , sexualising children, children, sexualising children, is coming in. um, and is actually coming in. um, and we need to have that option back so that parents can withdraw
9:31 pm
their child from that because parents parents don't want it. they don't want their young children being taught that they could be born in the wrong body and don't want their child and they don't want their child being dangerous being taught dangerous and harmful sex acts so that children are just too young to actually risks children are just too young to actu are risks children are just too young to actu are involved risks children are just too young to actu are involved . risks that are involved. >> okay, look, both of you, >> ed, okay, look, both of you, thank much. good thank you very, very much. good clash get us going there. clash to get us going there. that was the wonderful lucy marsh from the family education trust of course, human trust and, of course, human rights campaigner peter tatchell. you, thank you tatchell. both of you, thank you very just going very, very much. i'm just going to to the inbox very quickly to go to the inbox very quickly on this. kathleen says, yep, patrick, they are indoctrinating young, is young, impressionable minds is disgusting. gb views at gb views .com. thank you very much everybody who's getting in touch. the inbox is on fire over this always gets you going this stuff. so do you agree with stuff. so who do you agree with though as it's revealed that transgender bears are. transgender teddy bears are. i don't know. don't know don't know. i don't really know what transgender what a specific transgender teddy bear looks like, but apparently so sorry apparently that's it. so sorry if but there go. if you're not. but there we go. are being used to teach gender ideology primary schools, and ideology in primary schools, and campaigners that campaigners are they right that children being children are actually being indoctrinated? been
9:32 pm
indoctrinated? people have been getting as getting on to us on twitter as well, who says anyone well, like d, who says anyone caught this should caught doing this should be sacked kids don't sacked immediately. kids don't need know this leave need to know this stuff. leave them but then you them alone. yeah, but then you see, i worry that they think they're doing the right thing, don't think don't they? they think they're doing right teachers doing the right thing. teachers carry this carry on. twitter says this indoctrination kids has indoctrination of our kids has happened tory government happened under a tory government . is a belief and sex is . gender is a belief and sex is a protected characteristic. but no school is teaching this this truth. that's, of course, the views of you carry there you are right though it has happened under a tory government and you know, all often i think it's know, all too often i think it's all well good for the all very well and good for the tories to say, oh look, this will worse under will get much worse under laboun will get much worse under labour, possibly, quite possibly would, it? there would, wouldn't it? but there has allowed happen. the has been allowed to happen. the creep, been creep, creep, creep has been allowed alex allowed to happen. alex on twitter says kids need to be taught somehow and taught about gender somehow and doing a way they can doing it in a way that they can relate is just good teaching. relate to is just good teaching. it's that age old question, though, alex, isn't it, the though, alex, isn't it, of the chicken egg? i cast chicken and the egg? so i cast my back to when i was at my mind back to when i was at school, and i wonder really how many children that i was at school with were trapped in the
9:33 pm
closet or felt like wrestling or daily with that struggle of feeling like they were genuinely born into the wrong body. and i just don't think it was anywhere near as many as are now coming out and now getting involved in those communities. and i just wonder what's really causing that. but your verdict is in. 89% of you agree that children are being indoctrinated, 11% say, course, not. but say, of course, they're not. but coming with tory wets led by coming up with tory wets led by damian green, claiming that leaning far to the right is leaning too far to the right is a turn off for voters is the conservative party abandoning its roots? former education minister and true blue tory dame andrea jenkyns beams in to give a massive middle finger to her party's centrists. but first, with harry and meghan reportedly putting a royal reunion at the top of their christmas list and the king taking on more duties with his grandchildren. well there is plenty of royal action for charlotte griffiths, editor at large for the mail, on sunday to get her teeth stuck into. that's all coming your way. don't you
9:37 pm
radio . radio. >> well, welcome along. my reaction to almost 1 in 5 teachers self censoring for fear of offending muslim pupils . but of offending muslim pupils. but first, in a sign that the royal rift may be thawing a bombshell, new report from the times states that harry and meghan would to love spend christmas with the rest of the royal family at sandringham this year. however the sussexes are yet to be invited. do you think they should be invited ? should there should be invited? should there be another olive branch? should they dare to show their faces? vaiews@gbnews.com but i'm joined now by editor at large at the mail on sunday. it's the wonderful charlotte griffith charlotte is this really a turning point, do you think, in the relationship between harry turning point, do you think, in the meghanhip between harry turning point, do you think, in the meghan and)etween harry turning point, do you think, in the meghan and the een harry turning point, do you think, in the meghan and the restharry turning point, do you think, in the meghan and the rest ofrry turning point, do you think, in the meghan and the rest of the royals? >> well, not really, because they said it themselves in the statement. >> they haven't been invited. and actually it was a classic meghan and harry sort of drip feed of information, wasn't it?
9:38 pm
because it actually was a bit of a stab in the side saying, by the way, we haven't been invited. so it's hardly proof . invited. so it's hardly proof. to charles that he can trust these two, not to leak out negative things about the royal family. >> but maybe, maybe we this was a plan for them to say, oh, look, you know, we would come if you did invite us. there's still time. and maybe this is them, you know, offering handout you know, offering the handout and look, we would and saying, hey, look, we would happily out some happily dine out on some sandringham, turkey or pheasants or have. or whatever else they have. >> deigned to show up to >> they deigned to show up to sandringham this i mean , i sandringham this year. i mean, i get the impression they must need more material for their next documentary. but, you know , next documentary. but, you know, isuppose next documentary. but, you know, i suppose they are saying the rift is slowly healing. we would show up, but it would be fantastically complicated for charles because could he really have william and harry in the same room on christmas day? can he trust them not to leak things? can well, you know, can everyone speak freely on christmas day? if harry and meghan are there, it would be quite complicated arrangement. quite a complicated arrangement. so even if might be
9:39 pm
so even if they might be available, you say, the available, as you say, in the next weeks so , quite a next six weeks or so, quite a lot moving parts would have lot of moving parts would have to charles to get to be arranged by charles to get them safely and securely in an environment where they won't be sort of fisticuffs at dawn. >> okay. a couple of things. at play >> okay. a couple of things. at play there. first one, do you think that harry and meghan might turn up wearing a wire to sandringham ? sandringham? >> um, i don't think they would do that. but there was that rumour that they did turn up to a royal event wearing a wire once, wasn't there, but that was never proved. i don't think they would now, you know, the netflix documentary has and gone. documentary has been and gone. i don't dare. just don't think they dare. i just don't think they dare. i just don't they dare. don't think they dare. >> okay. all right. and the second of that is that second part of that is that let's charles wants his son let's say charles wants his son there. was there. apparently, charles was going and talk about going to come on and talk about this is, you know, spending more time the grandkids. time with the grandkids. you know, might decide, know, maybe he might decide, look, come on, we've got to have know, maybe he might decide, look, there.)n, we've got to have know, maybe he might decide, look, there. do we've got to have know, maybe he might decide, look, there. do youe got to have know, maybe he might decide, look, there. do you think to have know, maybe he might decide, look, there. do you think it have harry there. do you think it will be william to say, no, i've had dude. had enough of that dude. >> think it would be william. >> i think it would be william. yeah, absolutely. and i think if charles want to see harry
9:40 pm
charles did want to see harry and he may well, he may well offer some sort of olive branch on he won't be doing on that front, he won't be doing it at least it on christmas day, at least not it's some sort of not unless it's some sort of carole middleton's turn to host. and william is not going to be there. i honestly think there. i honestly don't think i can william and harry the can see william and harry in the same think william will same room. i think william will put foot and say, you put his foot down and say, you know, can see harry on know, you can see harry on boxing day, you're not boxing day, but you're not seeing him on christmas day. not if want there as well. if you want me there as well. and the future king. so he and he is the future king. so he kind is. and this is the kind of is. and this is the whole problem. he will get the first over. yeah, first invite over. harry yeah, absolutely. he should as well. so >> and so he should as well. so we should you know, you can't go around that, around behaving like that, especially towards your own family, when family, especially when that family, especially when that family the royal family happens to be the royal family and expect for everything to but king to be fine. but look, king charles is reportedly spending to be fine. but look, king charles is thantedly spending to be fine. but look, king charles is than ever spending to be fine. but look, king charles is than ever before ng more time than ever before tom moore castle order moore at windsor castle in order to be to his to be closer to his grandchildren after the prince and of wales moved and princess of wales moved their to windsor their family to the windsor estate think this estate last year. i think this is it's wholesome, it's is lovely. it's wholesome, it's nice. family often nice. the royal family has often at copped a fair bit of at times copped a fair bit of criticism for, know, being criticism for, you know, being part i think, by the way, part of us. i think, by the way, is not uncommon in aristocratic
9:41 pm
circles where, you know, the family necessarily always family is not necessarily always as is. you know, as close as it is. you know, around doreen and dave's at around at doreen and dave's at number 42. but is it a sign of how much the king is relishing his and his duties at grandfather? and also this shine also so, look, does this shine another spotlight or maybe the disservice that harry is doing to his own kids here by denying them this opportunity he yeah. >> okay. so to answer that question, i think so, because i think it's quite obvious from pictures that we've seen of charles with his grandchildren over the years. he's incredibly fond of them. and he's actually a real softy and a proper soft grandpa at heart. so i think if only he could get more access to those grandchildren of his on the other side of the atlantic. it would be a lovely thing to see. and i did feel for them when they sort of recorded that video for his 75th birthday. and i thought, god, you know, they hardly know they've hardly know him. they've recorded a video to say, happy birthday, grandpa , they birthday, grandpa, but they can't him. the can't actually see him. and the other thing is that william has spoken before . about how it was
9:42 pm
spoken before. about how it was quite difficult to get access to charles. so when charles was about 70, william said, you know, it's actually we'd like him to see more of the grandchildren. but it's quite hard to get hold of him because he's such a workaholic. and i think actually, ironically, even though he's king and his workload has never been higher, i he's getting see i think he's getting to see a little them. and he little bit more of them. and he really to see a bit more really wants to see a bit more of them. and he really wants to nurture the future nurture george as the future king. they're now all king. and also, they're now all sort of gravitating around windsor. the windsor. so, you know, the cambridges, known cambridges, as they were known then, used to always be at amner. charles always at amner. and charles was always at highgrove, now they're all highgrove, but now they're all gravitating around windsor, highgrove, but now they're all gravitatingkidand windsor, highgrove, but now they're all gravitatingkids are windsor, highgrove, but now they're all gravitatingkids are wiischool. so where the kids are at school. so there's actually more opportunity them. there's actually more opp(it's1ity them. there's actually more opp(it's clear them. there's actually more opp(it's clear it them. there's actually more opp(it's clear it always them. there's actually more opp(it's clear it always hasthem. and it's clear it always has been clear that charles actually really to see his really does want to see his grandchildren. and i think he even for even built a playground for george was born at george when he was born at highgrove, which was really sweet. >> oh, that's really sweet. and so you think that there might be a of tutoring going on from a bit of tutoring going on from charles, you know, via via william to george, which william down to george, which
9:43 pm
would actually. would make sense, actually. really it would really wouldn't it? and it would be very thing to do be a very, very nice thing to do to of showing the royal to kind of showing the royal ropes and to have that influence to kind of showing the royal r0|his and to have that influence to kind of showing the royal r0|his life to have that influence to kind of showing the royal r0|his life definitely1at influence to kind of showing the royal r0|his life definitely would uence to kind of showing the royal r0|his life definitely would be.:e in his life definitely would be. >> it would have been bred into charles by the queen that absolutely very strong absolutely take a very strong interest in george's life, just as queen took a real as the queen took a real interest in william's life . and, interest in william's life. and, you therein lies the you know, therein lies the problem with william and harry, is that is the you know, is that there is the you know, the always going to get the heir is always going to get a of focus a lot of a lot of focus and a lot of nurturing. i hope louis nurturing. i hope that louis never has this problem with his brother, he's going to brother, but he's going to get undoubtedly more attention from charles anything , charles than than than anything, because charles has to make sure he the monarchy he is the future of the monarchy one in many, many decades one day in many, many decades time. mean, louis already >> yeah, i mean, louis already looks absolutely wild, doesn't he? i love to see i'm he? and i love to see i'm completely utterly here completely and utterly here for it. charlotte, thank it. but charlotte, thank you very, very absolute very, very much. absolute pleasure on. i hope pleasure to have you on. i hope to see again soon. to see you again very soon. that's charlotte griffiths, their at the their editor at large at the mail now, coming up mail on sunday. now, coming up this interesting story, this is an interesting story, this is an interesting story, this emerged that this because it's emerged that almost 1 in 5 teachers are self—censor sharing lessons self—censor, sharing in lessons for muslim for fear of offending muslim pupils are british schools
9:44 pm
fuelling de facto blasphemy laws? but not just that. are our police caving in as well? not just that are our politicians caving in? i will get stuck into that just after ten. but next, the tories are at war. the party centrists led by damian green, says they need to abandon the right to appeal to voters . but right to appeal to voters. but do the conservatives actually need a bit more braverman and a bit less? cameron a former education minister, dame andrea jenkins, is having absolutely none of it from the wet. she's live sticking a big middle finger up to some of her
9:47 pm
next now, the conservative party risks falling into an unrecoverable position. sounds uncomfortable, doesn't it , with uncomfortable, doesn't it, with voters if it allows itself to be captured by the right . right. captured by the right. right. all right. that's according to moderate tories as well. it's a clear dig, isn't it? the former home secretary, suella braverman, the so—called one
9:48 pm
nafion braverman, the so—called one nation group of conservative mps, said it was time for the prime minister to move on from the unhelpful statements some of our party have used . well, the our party have used. well, the group made the intervention as it launched three policy requests for jeremy hunts autumn statement on wednesday. dame anne green, the former de facto deputy prime minister who leads the group, told times radio on sunday that although the party should have a range of views, it should have a range of views, it should never , ever be captured should never, ever be captured by one green wing of it. well, this is prompted a massive backlash from certain people within the conservative party for saying, hang on a minute, despite talking tough on a whole range of issues, the tory party has actually adopted one nation ism every single turn. when ism at every single turn. when have actually really have they actually really adopted properly and been successful in adopting a quote unquote proper right wing policy? maybe they should just own it and stop blaming people on the right and trying to use them as some kind of battering ram to blame all of the problems
9:49 pm
with. but tory culture was clear and former education minister dame andrea jenkins joins me now. andrea on now. andrea what's going on here? really i mean, people like you are essentially now being absolutely slammed by the likes of damian green . of damian green. >> oh, it's always happened , though. >> patrick. i remember this one nafion >> patrick. i remember this one nation group, which , um, they nation group, which, um, they make up the majority of the parliamentary party. but these are the ones who didn't want brexit, who didn't want boris, who didn't want liz truss. so so they're not really in tune with they're not really in tune with the british public and i recall, isn't damian green the one who got deselected by his own his own association back in february as well ? as well? >> um, yeah. i mean they're saying that we can't lean too far to the right. i mean, do you think the tory party has leant too far to the right? right. >> i don't think we're going far enough to be honest. patrick and also , i mean, if you look at the
9:50 pm
also, i mean, if you look at the group as well, um , i think group as well, um, i think they've never accepted , said liz they've never accepted, said liz and never accepted boris and, and never accepted boris and, andifs and never accepted boris and, and it's about time that we started having policies that was in our manifesto and what speak to people and if you look at 2015 was when i got elected. patrick um , if you think that patrick um, if you think that was cameron who was back in government, which as i said on your show last week, i do like cameron, but, but not for this time and place. but back in 2015, we actually only won six seats off the labour party . and seats off the labour party. and with this all one nation type of , um, of conservatism and to me it's actually belongs in a lib dems. some of these policies. so it was in 2019 we won all these seats off labour, so we need to go more centre right. it's obvious if we want to keep these seats and let's face it is what we got elected on.
9:51 pm
>> yeah, i'm just actually genuinely just don't quite understand what he's talking about because if i just wrote back, had , you know, the back, we've had, you know, the fundamental loss of all of our liberties during the coronavirus pandemic. record pandemic. we've had record levels of immigration, both legal and illegal. we've had a story, a story that i'm going to talk about very, very soon, actually, is the genuine fear of offending certain elements of the british muslim community to the british muslim community to the extent where we now have kind of pseudo blasphemy rules in schools, etcetera . and, you in schools, etcetera. and, you know, and the big green stuff as well, i mean, this to me looks almost like damian green has got exactly what he wants from the conservative party and he's still whinging about it completely . completely. >> well, i mean, they clearly want to obliterate the centre right out of the party. that's why they got rid of the previous two leaders. but you're right. i mean, i, i want to stop net zero. i want strong borders. i want the strong policing where in the 80s i used to drag protesters off the streets. so, you know, we want strong
9:52 pm
policies and, you know, damian green as i said, i'm sure he got deselected himself . but you can deselected himself. but you can see this happening with other mps or them not actually winning their seat if we if we carry on down this road of well, lib dem ism rather than true conservative ism in my books. >> yeah. i mean, part of this is all wrapped up in things like tax cuts as well. chancellor jeremy hunt due to unveil his is autumn statement on wednesday. you have people you know we used to have people who rabbits out of the hat. who pull rabbits out of the hat. i just can't help but wonder whether or jeremy's rabbit whether or not jeremy's rabbit is dead and just is completely dead and just rotting and he's got myxomatosis and to be and it's just going to be absolutely really absolutely nothing, really isn't it? patrick. it? i know vegetarian patrick. well, i know. i know. i know that. i know that priti patel is very strong all of this as very strong on all of this as well. she's saying, look, come on, behave like a on, it's time to behave like a conservative. mean, would conservative. i mean, what would you to people in your party you say to people in your party who you you are who say, look, you are you are a fringe radical that has captured this party and you're dragging us into the doldrums ? us into the doldrums? >> i say sod off to the lib
9:53 pm
dems. we want our party back. we want thatcherism to be at the heart of our party. we want low taxes, as i said, strong on immigration to controlling immigration, strong on policing . immigration, strong on policing. and let's kick start the economy again. and it should be about social mobility as well, patrick, about social mobility . patrick, about social mobility. >> and just just a quick one while i've got you, because i just want to tee up a little topic that i'm doing a bit later on. i think it's quite important really. so we have a new study that's come out that appears to show that almost 1 in 5 teachers are self—censoring because they're offending they're afraid of offending elements the british muslim elements of the british muslim community. hot off the community. it comes hot off the batley incident, batley grammar school incident, a couple of other issues as well . there was one at another school where a child brought in a of the quran and scuffed a copy of the quran and scuffed it, and before you it, it, and then before you know it, his down local mosque his mum's down the local mosque begging forgiveness his mum's down the local mosque begging the rgiveness his mum's down the local mosque begging thergivenechief his mum's down the local mosque begging the rgivenechief and alongside the police chief and alongside the police chief and alongside these are my two neighbouring seats, actually, alongside these are my two neighb
9:54 pm

10:06 pm
community, not just teachers. i think it's some of the police and politicians as well. i want to say right at the outset that i don't think that any religion should be able to dictate policy or have any undue influence in society. but we have to be real about what's potentially going on here. we saw the batley grammar school incident, didn't we, where a teacher showed a picture of the prophet mohammed to some kids and then to go to some kids and then had to go into hiding , to some kids and then had to go into hiding, still lives under a new identity and isn't teaching what happened was people mobbed up, turned up at the school. gates called for his blood. he feared for his life and he lost his job. feared for his life and he lost hisjob. his feared for his life and he lost his job. his entire feared for his life and he lost hisjob. his entire personal feared for his life and he lost his job. his entire personal and professional was shattered . professional life was shattered. now, new data from yougov and the policy exchange shows over half of teachers polled said they would never use an image of they would never use an image of the islamic prophet in class. 16% of them admitted to having self censored in order to avoid causing religious offence. half of teachers said there would be a risk to their safety if protests similar to the ones which sprung up outside the
10:07 pm
school gates in batley occurred and 1 in 5 said there would be a very big risk . and 1 in 5 said there would be a very big risk. then of and 1 in 5 said there would be a very big risk . then of course, very big risk. then of course, there was the incident of an autistic 14 year old boy who brought in a copy of the quran to school. it got scuffed and he was suspended alongside four other pupils . the police were other pupils. the police were brought in and it was treated as a hate incident. the head teacher, the local police and the boys terrified mother had to attend the local mosque and beg for forgiveness as his little clip of the woman in a room full of muslim men pleading with them because because her teenage child was receiving death threats and there were threats to burn their family's home down. >> thank you so much for letting me come here today to speak to you. >> i know that what my son has doneis >> i know that what my son has done is disrespectful . and he done is disrespectful. and he didn't have any malicious intent , but he is a very, very silly 14 year old boy who does have some challenges because he does

suffer with eye functioning autism. it means that socially he doesn't always realise what is appropriate and what's not appropriate . causing offence to appropriate. causing offence to elements of the british muslim community in schools. >> clearly comes with catastrophic consequences and people live in fear of that. is that okay? what about our police force? here's how they handle just stop oil today. force? here's how they handle just stop oil today . you're more just stop oil today. you're more than welcome to carry on your protest if you block the road because disruption you could be arrested under section seven of the public order act . the public order act. >> have have . >> have have. >> have have. >> but if you're at the pro—palestine protest, there appears to be very little chance of you getting lifted. in fact , of you getting lifted. in fact, they just want the public to dob you in. is fear of offending a religious group dictating policing on our streets? and now let's have a little look at our politicians, shall we? are they being influenced by fear of

offending a certain community to rachel reeves had an absolute shocker on bbc at the weekend. >> support the right to protest suella bravermans comments about these being hate marches. et cetera are appalling, but i don't support the intimidation of members of parliament and i think that's what you're seeing with some of these protests now outside of people's offices and outside of people's offices and outside of people's homes and mps have got a difficult job to do. all public servants do and this sort of intimidation and taking protests to people's homes, i think that goes beyond the line . the line. >> so to summarise , as the hate >> so to summarise, as the hate marches aren't hate marches , but marches aren't hate marches, but please come people marching in a hateful manner towards mps offices stop because that's too hateful. labour mps in seats with a huge muslim population felt compelled to go against their party's policy. some of them no doubt will have just wanted anyway . but as did wanted to anyway. but as did a tory mp as well. paul bristow. now if they didn't do that, then people turned up at constituency offices and shouted at them like
10:10 pm
those furious scenes that i witnessed outside labour mp rushanara ali constituency office in bethnal green last week is that not intimidation now ? no one religion should be now? no one religion should be able to dictate how our society functions , but as british functions, but as british society changes and the demographic shift, how long is it before british politics, especially british foreign policy, is dictated to by the desires of the british muslim community? i suspect it might not be that long now. some people may say, well, that's just democracy , isn't it? just democracy, isn't it? there's nothing wrong with that . there's nothing wrong with that. and that's fine. i get that . but and that's fine. i get that. but i would politely ask you to play the tape forward and think about what that really looks like in practice. now, before i go to my panel on this, i'm very pleased to say i am joined by the lawyer who acted for some muslim parents at the time of the batley grammar school incident. it's yunus lunat yunus, thank you very much. it's great to have you on the show. so look, do you not think it's a national disgrace that that teacher is still in hiding?

10:19 pm
that all right. >> so it was it wasn't so the media, the media whipped up a storm that to led somebody getting threatened with death and not people turning the and not people turning up at the at gates. and what and not people turning up at the at media gates. and what and not people turning up at the at media did. ates. and what the media did. >> if you recall what >> what if you recall what i said at the time to you, what the media did was conflate what happened here with what happened in paris. that is a totally different situation, totally different situation, totally different demographics, totally different demographics, totally different mechanics. >> okay, eunice, we're going to we're going to have to park it there as yunus lunat there, who was a lawyer for people at the time, look to respond to this. now i'm joined by daily express columnist carole malone. i've got journalist and broadcaster benjamin former benjamin butterworth, a former brexit belinda brexit party mep. belinda deluise well. for deluise as well. well, for obvious that overran obvious reasons, that overran slightly go to you, slightly. but i will go to you, carole, and go to matter in carole, and go to the matter in hand which you hand initially, which is you know, that we are know, do you think that we are too risk of offending too much at risk of offending certain aspects of the british muslim community when it comes to can listen to this >> can you listen to this gentleman you understand gentleman here? you understand why are. he why we are where we are. he wasn't listening a word you wasn't listening to a word you were saying. he wasn't interested in what you had to
10:20 pm
say what happened say about what happened to you. he what he was only interested in what he believed. he hadn't even seen. the clips that i find astonishing. so ask me a question astonishing. so ask me a quedom you do you think >> do you do you do you think that we're too at risk in society of offending certain groups of people? >> you know, i wonder every >> yes. you know, i wonder every day the whole of the western day why the whole of the western media the political media and all the political and the establishments the arts establishments have decided them there decided between them that there is one particular religion in this country that we cannot inqu this country that we cannot insult or offend, and that is islam. and that is that is a thatis islam. and that is that is a that is a decision that has actually reverberated everywhere. batley thing everywhere. the batley thing that really want to that he didn't really want to talk about, you know, i blame the teachers in that school. i blame the cops. blame the blame the cops. i blame the people the community. you people in the community. you know, minute minute know, the minute that the minute a teacher's life is threatened, that that the people making the threats arrested and threats should be arrested and jailed. well, simple as that . jailed. well, simple as that. >> and they weren't one thing, though, that some though, benjamin, that some people might say look. right people might say is look. right if an opportunity to if there is an opportunity to avoid offence, then avoid causing offence, then you should opportunity. should take that opportunity. and there's a fine and therefore there's a fine line to have between maybe caving in to someone's
10:21 pm
sensibilities actually just sensibilities and actually just being polite. >> well, yeah, like should you choose quran in choose to burn the quran in front a mosque? no. should front of a mosque? no. should you that in a school? no. you do that in a school? no. that to inflame that would be seeking to inflame things . that that would be seeking to inflame things. that isn't what things. but that isn't what happenedin things. but that isn't what happened in these examples. and there many examples where there are so many examples where things the existence of gay things like the existence of gay people being taught in schools , people being taught in schools, things which are the law of the land and have been for about ten, 15 years in this country and they think they, the and they think that they, the muslim community, the self—appointed that self—appointed leaders of that community, who, course community, who, of course don't represent believe represent all muslims, believe that a way that they can behave in a way that they can behave in a way that intimidates them and care that intimidates them and i care a great about prejudice and a great deal about prejudice and it of different ways . it cuts lots of different ways. and is a problem in this and there is a problem in this country wing country and among left wing people , of which i am one, there people, of which i am one, there is a problem on the left that we seem to think that this prejudice is too awkward to confront. the fact is, the muslim community in country muslim community in this country clearly has a problem with anti—semitism. we've seen it in the month it is the last month and it is considerably more homophobic than rest of the country at than the rest of the country at large . and we not be large. and we should not be afraid point that out,
10:22 pm
afraid to point that out, because i tell you what, the people who are most damaged by that gay muslim kids growing that are gay muslim kids growing up like batley who are up in places like batley who are having lead having their ability to lead their lives denied. their lives be denied. >> well, it's definitely , you >> well, it's definitely, you know, certain certain elements of isn't it? and that's of it, isn't it? and that's that's an issue that is rearing its head. i again, will be at pains say i feel sorry pains to say i feel very sorry for genuinely just just moderate, normal individuals , moderate, normal individuals, you know, and people might point out hard core out and go, well, it's hard core elements the christian elements of the christian community as hard core elements. the community. there are the jewish community. there are orthodox but orthodox or orthodox jews, but it's very orthodox. >> jews have very similar conclusions and behaviours , but conclusions and behaviours, but the difference is that we confront those christians do not issue threats when their issue death threats when their religion is. >> belinda have issue >> belinda we have an issue with islamist intimidation mobs in this country. fact we even saw it with the cineworld having to cancel lady of heaven film cancel their lady of heaven film because of mob intimidation. and they even said they feared for they even said they feared for the public those who the public safety of those who went the film. so they went to see the film. so they cancelled it. is because of cancelled it. this is because of institutional our institutional cowardice in our authorities with our
10:23 pm
politicians. they have no backbone to challenge radical islamists and do a huge disservice to the muslim community who are the biggest victim group around the world, by the way, of radical islamism and their punishment and their hateful ideology. look at the iranian you know, it's iranian women. you know, it's not way the left not fair the way the left completely conflate radical islamism with muslims all the time. can't ever time. so that you can't ever criticise her. i'm a christian, but secure my faith. so but i'm secure in my faith. so if someone wants insult or if someone wants to insult or mock my i don't feel mock my religion, i don't feel any hate vengeance any hate or vengeance towards them. wicked and that is them. that is wicked and that is wicked. what is going on? i am so with what's happening so upset with what's happening in government in england that our government have allowed take root and in england that our government havethey're d take root and in england that our government havethey're too take root and in england that our government havethey're too scared not and in england that our government havethey're too scared of and in england that our government havethey're too scared of even now they're too scared of even challenged it because they have no backbone in country. no backbone in this country. >> rotherham this was this >> after rotherham this was this was rotherham happened was never rotherham happened where 1400 girls were abused by mainly pakistani muslim men and we were told this wouldn't happen again. but this happened because the cops were too scared to challenge islam. >> all you thank you very, very much. an extended version of the top of the show. but coming up, i you the most

divided over rwanda. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> now the bbc is facing calls for an independent review into their coverage of the israel—hamas war led by their own former head of television. after a litany of on air cockups called their infamous impartiality into question . impartiality into question. danny cohen, director of the bbc television . between 2013 and television. between 2013 and 2015, has joined a growing chorus of voices unhappy with the beeb's recent coverage of the beeb's recent coverage of the conflict , which has forced the conflict, which has forced awkward apologies like these. >> and now an apology from the bbc. >> a bbc news as it covered
10:28 pm
initial reports that israeli forces had entered gaza's main hospital . all we said that hospital. all we said that medical teams and arab speakers were being targeted and this was incorrect and misquoted . a incorrect and misquoted. a reuters report, we should have said idf forces included medical teams and arabic speakers for this operation, so we apologise for this error, which fell below our usual editorial standards . our usual editorial standards. >> okay. well, that apology was made on the 15th of november, but just two days later, bbc internal editor jeremy bowen was back at it . back at it. >> wherever you go in the middle east, you see an awful lot of kalashnikovs and it's not inconceivable that, i don't know, perhaps the security department of a hospital might have them. certainly the police do. and so the israelis may get the proof that they want. they found this tunnel entrance, but so far that they haven't . so far that they haven't. >> right. so after repeated controversies in recent weeks, should there be an independent review into the bbc's israel hamas coverage going head to
10:29 pm
headin hamas coverage going head to head in a special edition of the clash , i'm delighted to welcome clash, i'm delighted to welcome former head of religion at the bbc, akhil ahmed, and up against the founder and chair of the israel solidary group, keith fraser. shapps thank you very much. great to have you on the show. look, keith, do you think that the beeb should face an investigation? well look, if you go back to 2004, you'll all know about the balen report, which was actually an investigation written by malcolm balen, who was a bbc journalist , and he was a bbc journalist, and he studied hundreds of hours of footage and bbc footage which covered the israeli palestinian conflict. >> and of course , six years >> and of course, six years later , the contents of that later, the contents of that report have never been shown. they have so spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money to circumnavigate it. >> yes, circumnavigate the freedom of information act because they know they don't
10:30 pm
want to show what's in that report, because i've got to tell you, i don't call it the british broadcasting corporation. >> i call it the biased broadcast corporation. you know, i know some journalists. i know personally that in order to get they actually do documentaries, but to get content commissioned by the bbc, it needs to be balanced against israel . balanced against israel. >> okay. all right. well well, i'll come back to you . i'll come i'll come back to you. i'll come back to you on that. keith all right. there's some quite strong stuff there. so you know, i'll give you the chance to come back on you think that do on this. do you think that do you that the should you think that the bbc should face investigation? face an investigation? >> well, obviously , i'm speaking face an investigation? >>avell, obviously , i'm speaking face an investigation? >>a purely, viously , i'm speaking face an investigation? >>a purely, you sly , i'm speaking face an investigation? >>a purely, you know,m speaking face an investigation? >>a purely, you know, a speaking in a purely, you know, a personal capacity here. i think all broadcasters, all news organisations need to have an investigation at the end of this because i think there's a there's a bigger question here. i danny really well i mean, i know danny really well used work danny, but he used to work with danny, but he has never worked in news, you know, when you're know, and actually when you're in, when you're on ground, i in, when you're on the ground, i
10:31 pm
worked in news for years. worked in news for many years. you when the you know, when you're on the ground, things go ground, you know, things go wrong. going to tell you wrong. and i'm going to tell you now, this particular conflict, there's getting around there's no getting around it, not bbc. lots of not just the bbc. lots of broadcasters of broadcasters have made lots of mistakes because think we're mistakes because i think we're actually into a different kind of technological situation here now with social media and disinformation and deepfakes and all sorts of things are going on and basic errors will always get made, particularly when you don't have complete access to locations at all times. it's an absolute mess . so i don't locations at all times. it's an absolute mess. so i don't think the bbc needs to be just investigated. think we need to investigated. i think we need to investigated. i think we need to investigate how this has been covered by absolutely everybody because everybody is making mistakes and what it's showing us is in a social media age that some of the old rules of reporting and some of the ways that we've all worked, all of us, you know, gb news included, they're very, very different now. when you think about the world that we're in now . and i world that we're in now. and i think really hard kind think it's really hard to kind of like, the bbc are being of like, say, the bbc are being bad or channel 4 is being bad or
10:32 pm
cnn is being bad. everybody is making cnn is being bad. everybody is ma think, i think i think >> think, yeah, i think i think there's almost to aspects of this me which is the this for me which is the reporting of events on the ground and that is i think, very, very difficult and can be victim to the mistakes . just victim to the mistakes. just just mistakes for whatever reason . but there's the thing reason. but there's the thing that i find quite unforgivable, i think, is very often the reporting of the things that are happening over here. actually reporting of the things that are hap|iening over here. actually reporting of the things that are hap|i thinkover here. actually reporting of the things that are hap|i think especiallyactually reporting of the things that are hap|i think especially the ally reporting of the things that are hap|i think especially the bbc and i think especially the bbc might have might have questions to answer there. i don't know what feel about that, keith . what you feel about that, keith. >> listen, i completely disagree with what your guest just said . with what your guest just said. i know for a fact because i know people who work on the ground in the middle east that the bbc is getting its data from hamas . getting its data from hamas. now, i know that the bbc doesn't call hamas a terrorist organisation , but let's be organisation, but let's be clear, on october the october the 7th, on october the seventh, they raped women. they burnt elderly children . they even elderly children. they even killed people's pet dog. they
10:33 pm
even took babies out of the womb of a of a pregnant mother. and this are the people that the bbc are getting their facts from. this is not the british broadcasting corporation. this is the biased broadcasting corporation . and i'll tell you corporation. and i'll tell you what else, patrick. i'm not going to be spending a penny next year on renewing my bbc licence because i see it as a form of execution because groups like the bbc, news outlets like the bbc, they are responsible for spewing the hatred that is making people i'll turn on my community, i.e. the rise in anti—semitism because of the reporting and i blame the bbc as a big part of that. all right, akhil, obviously quite, quite a lot to come back to you there, akhil. >> so i'll throw it over to you mean, look, if we're going to have a sensible conversation, i think that's really ridiculous, right?
10:34 pm
>> i got to be honest with you. the fact of the matter is you can argue that there's coverage is for absolutely is not great for absolutely everybody. at the everybody. nobody's happy at the moment, whether whichever side you're not taking any you're on and i'm not taking any sides in any of this kind of thing, saying no one's happy thing, i'm saying no one's happy now where you now with regards to where you get from. get your information from. i don't know. i mean, to say things like it's a fact that they're getting their things from every single from hamas every single broadcast ground. broadcast on the ground. and right israeli friend has right now, my israeli friend has been flat out since been working flat out since october with 4 october the 8th with channel 4 news with cnn, with it, with the times, etcetera. times, newspapers, etcetera. they're same they're all getting the same information the same information from the same sources it sources because that's how it works the ground. the bbc is works on the ground. the bbc is not different from anybody else . not different from anybody else. everybody it from everybody is getting it from whether the un, from the whether it from the un, from the idf, from. yes, from the from people in in gaza, whether it's hamas whatever. you're hamas or whatever. you're getting information from getting lots of information from lots every lots of different people. every single person is doing that because that's how journalism works. when you're on the ground. and that's why i say there will be mistakes because everybody is manipulated doing it because that's what you do when you're trying to get your
10:35 pm
message across. the question is how manipulated have the press been and i think we probably all know is of course, we've been manipulated because this some of the some of the people doing this on all sides are very sophisticated . sophisticated. >> look, both of you , >> all right. look, both of you, i would i would really like to invite back on. and i no invite you back on. and i no doubt will get the chance to doubt we will get the chance to going well . and we'll going forward as well. and we'll have a bit a longer have a bit of a longer conversation. but i think was really both really fascinating stuff on both sides was, sides there. that was, of course, a former of course, a former head of religion at the akil ahmed, religion at the bbc, akil ahmed, and that chair as well and that was the chair as well of the israel solidarity group. keith stuff keith fraser very strong stuff on both a bbc on both sides. a bbc spokesperson has previously said our starting point is always impartiality. we take that incredibly seriously . that's why incredibly seriously. that's why we so much effort to get we take so much effort to get our coverage of significance and complex world events right in amongst of amongst thousands of hours of news will news broadcasting. there will always errors. there you always be some errors. there you go. happens. some whoppers, go. it happens. some whoppers, though, haven't and i can though, haven't there? and i can really the strength of really sense the strength of feeling from feeling there, certainly from from the british jewish, british, israeli community. but coming up, fleet street legend
