weston. now simon of course, was an aspiring rugby player , wanted an aspiring rugby player, wanted to be a professional but there he was in the welsh guards on musa qala had seriously wounded over 100 operations and skin grafts and just have a look at this talking points. this is a man that i hugely admire. rugby this was your big thing as a lad. yeah >> yeah, absolutely. i 90% of the fellas in your it was the biggest sport they played in school . um, my career was over school. um, my career was over by the time i was 20, so just short of my 21st birthday when i got injured. um, never got to realise how good i could have been, whether i'd gone too much further than that. i was playing, played for the army under 21 and london district, and the guards and welsh guards . and the guards and welsh guards. but what could have come from that? lord only knows . that? lord only knows. >> and that welsh team that 19705 >> and that welsh team that 1970s welsh team i. it was quite something, wasn't it. >> it is an oddly enough i've met an awful lot of them since and befriended several of them. uh, they were , they were magical

uh, they were, they were magical . um, you know, but it was very difficult to emulate what they did. and a different rules and regulations and the fitness standards and the professional ism and the way they've brought in the defensive work that belongs in rugby league. um, you know, there's so many disciplines that have been brought into the and brought into the game and they've changed it dramatically from used when from what it used to be when i played. you know , we'll played. but, um, you know, we'll be right up against it. come the world cup with, uh oh , world cup with, uh oh, absolutely. you know, with some of these. >> absolutely. but but a big part of your culture here now, you know, we've talked before on this program about the falklands and everything that happened. but been quite but i do know there's been quite a inquiry into what happened a big inquiry into what happened with the sir galahad. and it's had almost no media attention at all. that inquiry tell all. what does that inquiry tell us, simon? >> um, that mistakes were made. um, decisions that were made. um were probably biased in certain circumstances . but the biggest circumstances. but the biggest thing that we've been able to garner from it all is that , uh,

garner from it all is that, uh, they don't want to release the information they've released all the other information. there are no national security , uh, no national security, uh, concerns in any of it. so no national security, uh, concerns in any of it . so why concerns in any of it. so why they've kept it redacted and sealed ? we don't know. apart sealed? we don't know. apart from the statement they gave, which is they don't want to cause, um , eles and concern an cause, um, eles and concern an and cause people discomfort. so basically, what they don't want is the truth to come out. yeah. because in all the books that these different people have written, they've all had conflicting stories . and what conflicting stories. and what we've been able to get from people still alive , uh, that people still alive, uh, that their stories just don't marry up and the guy who was in charge of five brigade had to leave britain because of the abuse he was taking. um, for his own mental health. he had to leave. and so many people have suffered. and professionally and personally, they've been how angry are you, simon? um. i'm angry are you, simon? um. i'm angry to a degree, but i'm more

disappointed. these were people who were supposed to be our leaders. they were supposed to make decisions about us and keep us as safe as possible in war, which is so random . um, we which is so random. um, we accepted the role . our job told accepted the role. our job told us, you know, we went to war. we knew the outcome , that we could knew the outcome, that we could get killed. but at the end of the day, you wanted people who are making decisions for the best, everybody, not just a best, for everybody, not just a select your select few that were your preferred unit . preferred unit. >> simon, i was keen to get you on to talk about this, because i know, this work's been know, i know, this work's been done. know there is great done. i know there is great dissatisfaction amongst many welsh met welsh guardsmen that i've met and spoken to, and first time we've discussed this issue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit discussed this issue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was ussed this issue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was good this issue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was good to is issue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was good to getisue. um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was good to get you um, and spoken to, and first time we'iit was good to get you on 1, but it was good to get you on tonight about this, tonight to talk about this, because think you because we do. i think you deserve the truth. >> that's all we want is the truth. >> i think you you above all, deserve after what deserve the truth. after what you've and, uh, you've been through and, uh, yeah, let's push government to get the truth. we in bury get the truth. we were in bury in manchester joined in greater manchester and joined by yeah. big ron by big ron. yeah. big ron atkinson, most atkinson, one of the most dominant of dominant football managers of recent decades, a man that players were genuinely frightened of. and ron tells us

some of the secrets of being a top football manager. >> i left school at 15. yeah i've never worked since. you know, because because, you know, that way of life that i've enjoyed doing it hasn't been a chore to have to get up and think, oh, i've got to go and do that again today, have i? no >> and you made that transition into being a manager and a successful manager. and i think we kind of know what the attributes are of a good player. but what is it that makes a good manager ? manager? >> yeah, i think basically you've got to have the ability to deal with people. i had two bafic to deal with people. i had two basic principles. one was i would always treat players the way i wanted to be treated as a player. that doesn't mean to say you've got to curry favour with them. sometimes got them. sometimes you've got to tell them facts and be. no tell them harsh facts and be. no player could ever play badly. for me, providing he was attempting to do the job. he may not have always played well. yeah, but if he was, for argument's sake say he was a striker and he was missing

chances providing he was still going in there to have a go for them, you'd put up with it? not for too long. i might add . but for too long. i might add. but those those are two basic principles . principles. >> and were you a disciplinarian to a certain extent, yeah. >> there's various ways of discipline. um i didn't want people coming into . to training. people coming into. to training. i like people to come in with a smile on their face and be enthusiastic and enjoy it. i didn't want to make it like a war of attrition when they came in, which does happen in certain clubs. you know, managers and i would sooner have like an hour and a half or an hour and a quarter high intensity. in fact, one of my coaches once said to me, you're the only coach that doesn't believe in breathers . i doesn't believe in breathers. i wanted everything high tempo from the minute they started till the minute they finished, rather than a couple of hours dragging out, you know, i wanted it played up , trained, done at it played up, trained, done at a high level and a high ten

intense city. now you went on to manage some great clubs. >> west bromwich albion, you were the first top flight manager to have three black players in the team, which i remember at the time was a really big, big deal. and of course, you know, manchester united . there you are. i mean, united. there you are. i mean, one of the biggest football club names in the world. how did that feel? >> it was great. but you you've got to go back to the fact when i actually left west brom we actually had a much better side than the side i inherited at man—u . i mean, people, because man—u. i mean, people, because of the success. i mean, i always say like fergie was there 26 years, i was there five years. and you know, between us we want something like 50 trophies. the fact that he won 48. >> but you do yourself down because you did have fa cup glory with manchester united.

you did finish high up in the league and we didn't. you didn't have a bad run there, did you? >> well, when i, when i went there i mean i think from the year they won the european cup in 68 and i think they'd only qualified, um for europe about three times in that period . now three times in that period. now at west brom we qualified every yeah at west brom we qualified every year. yeah. and when i went there i said to the chairman, martin edwards, i said, look, we've got to become european club again. we that club again. and we did that every year. were never at the every year. we were never at the top for. that respect, we top for. so in that respect, we were all right. what we didn't do people , i'd only been there do people, i'd only been there three months and somebody said, you we've not won the you know, we've not won the title for years. i said, i've title for 15 years. i said, i've only here three months and only been here three months and the pressure is real, isn't it? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that was the thing. they always they always brought up. you thing about you know, the thing about winning title and people say winning the title and people say to me, well, what was the reason? why didn't you win it? because we had a good enough team to win it two, two words summed it up. ian rush, because

if we'd have had ian rush, we'd have won every year. >> and liverpool. yeah, yeah, liverpool were pretty good at the time. well yeah. yeah .

>> to witham in northern essex with the local mp priti patel . with the local mp priti patel. and what a story about how her parents came after eddie. i mean, threatened to literally kill the asians living in uganda. how they set up their own businesses. made a success of their lives and pretty of

course, rising to some of the most senior cabin posts in milan. her ups and downs in politics, but also her love for her constituency . her constituency. >> welcome back. i should say there was a migrant hotel here, wasn't it? there was in the home secretary three years ago and i turned up and i probably helped you in a way. and everything changed after that. well, there we are. we are. >> we are. >> there we are pretty. i first heard of you in 1918, late 1996, early 97. i was told about this young woman who was working with jemmy goldsmith in the referendum party's office. i mean, so there's always been a bit of political rebellion in you, hasn't there? >> well, that's one way of putting it. but that also tells me i've been sort of doing the anti—eu campaign, as anti—eu campaign, probably as long as well. long as you have as well. >> not that long. no >> not that long. no >> nearly that is true. that is true. i mean, i've, i've got a personal story in terms of my own background politically, how i in politics, i got involved in politics, party politics, yes, but also my views on europe and obviously why then went campaign
