an amazing thing. and but generally speaking, in our country, you know, people don't trust the media anymore. they don't, you know, for the last three and a half years, they've talked about how joe biden was a vibrant, articulate, well—spoken , vibrant, articulate, well—spoken, healthy man. he walks out on stage at a debate and everybody realises that that's just not true. and they knew it wasn't true. and they knew it wasn't true. but he walks on the stage and it just reinforces the fact that wasn't true. they really realise two things that kamala harris was lying to them and that the media was lying to them. >> and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, it is time for headliners >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at the next day's papers with three comedians. i'm stephen allen, joined by nick nick dixon. his
11:04 pm
pronouns are he, him and lewis schaffer. his pronouns are me too, i mean, i. no one's a pronoun, and the other one's an adverb. >> that works on two levels because he's creepy and because he's selfish and because it's true. >> yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> it's perfect. >> it's perfect. >> it's perfect. >> i don't care as long as people pay attention to me. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> legally. legally. yeah. whatever whatever. >> whatever it takes. life going well, though other than he looks like epstein as well, right.7 >> we better move on. >> we better move on. >> why is it coming on me when he looks so much like epstein? that's not him. >> don't get the picture of epstein. compare and contrast. we should have done that . right. we should have done that. right. let's take a look at your front pages. the mail on sunday says summer of discontent. the observer goes with rioters will pay observer goes with rioters will pay the price as a wave of violence sweeps the uk. the sunday telegraph 24 hour courts to tackle rioters. the sunday express secret agents hunting down far right rioters . the down far right rioters. the sunday mirror goes with bbc chief should have quit over hugh. and finally, your daily
11:05 pm
star eureka! and those are your front pages . all right. what's front pages. all right. what's on the cover of the sunday telegraph ? telegraph? >> louis, thank you for asking, steve. 24 hour course to tackle rioters. this is, this is in lieu of what's in lieu. this is because of what's going on. is that the that people are getting upset at all over the place. but these seem to be people who should not be upset because they're from a different group of people. it's basically the prime minister. this is similar to what happened when they had the riots in london. remember the riots in london. remember the riots in london? and they set up course 24 hours to punish people, basically in america. you can't do that. you can't just put people in jail like that. you first, you put it well, you can put them in jail, but you can't put them in prison. you can't say, okay, it's 12:00 at prison. you can't say, okay, it's12:00 at night, you're going to prison for two years. >> will we even have to do that over here? i know in the clip we saw in the news the promise of there will be prison spaces.
11:06 pm
well, that's been a promise that's been failed to be delivered upon for ages now. >> for ages. but it wasn't the bad people. it wasn't this, this group of people which are angry white people, you know, as an angry a person's not allowed to be angry. and that's the tragedy of the whole thing is, is that they're turning on the, on the police, which in theory should be representing them. but it's the whole thing has been turned, turned upside down. >> the 24 hour courts. nick, you reckon this is going to any of these plans, going to have any kind of dampening effect on what's happening? >> well, they probably will once we see how draconian the punishments are going to be. i mean, part of you wonders, why can't the courts be so efficient the rest of the time if it's so easy? but you know, i'm worried, of course, about how it's whether it's going to be part of starmer's two tier justice system. let's wait and see. i mean, they created these immigration policies that have caused so much unrest. not that i'm excusing violence, by the way. but then they then it's a classic thing. then you crack down with authoritarian measures. we've seen lord walney today suggest we should go back today suggest we should go back to covid measures to sort of presumably what's curfews for people or, or restrictions six at a time together. who knows
11:07 pm
what it's going to be. so just the six foot separation, is that what metres. yeah. is that what all the riots bigger maybe hand sanitiser? i don't know what they think but you know they're talking about starmer was in charge in 2011 and the riots and he did this and that. this is not that. this is much, much bigger. and i think he's handled it terribly so far. but the policies about immigration that you say have upset people can't be starmer's fault yet, can they. >> what. >> what. >> we've just no they're not well, they're not literally starmer although they are the political classes fault. and then and then he so far, in my opinion, has dealt with it terribly. now he's on holiday or he's about to go on holiday. really. he's got to come back and sort this out, hasn't he? >> how can he sort it out when he is the you said he's the cause of it is where this country is in a war right now. it's in a war between the keir starmer who are team, as i call them, team world, team europe. you never mentioned that before. well, because. because it's because people are trying to say, oh, we don't like this guy. we don't like the way this guy acts. this woman acts the truth is, is that they want the country to be completely dissolved. they don't want nafion dissolved. they don't want nation states. they want they want us to be part of europe or part of this idea.
11:08 pm
>> but if they want the nation to be dissolved, they're bringing in 24 hour courts to stop this dissolution. yeah. there's also the rumours online or the claims are that you've got your putin interference trying to stir up trouble over here. yeah. so surely that's a different team. or do you think putin's team world. >> no putin isn't team world. but but they but they would like but they would like putin to be part of team world. that's why the war in the ukraine is all about that. it's all about destroying. this has nothing to do with putin. this has to do with here in this country and in france and in america too, where they where they want sort of a multiculturalism homogenous. this country has been doing this for hundreds of years. >> multiculturalism is the opposite of homogenous, yes. >> but they use multiculturalism to, to water down the core beliefs. i'm not. >> lewis means a global homogeneity, through making all countries the same through through globalism and free movement . right? movement. right? >> yes, yes. »- >> yes, yes. >> do you travel around translating for it ? translating for it? >> yeah i liked yeah, yeah, he pays me a small fee. >> well, nobody understands what i'm saying. i barely i, i think i'm saying. i barely i, i think i understand it, but i can't
11:09 pm
even order in a starbucks without nick being there. >> all right, let's move on to the next one. moving on to the sunday mirror. lewis, what of lewis, surely. >> oh, no. no we were going to. >> oh, no. no we were going to. >> oh, no. no we were going to. >> oh, i thought we were doing the second one on the labour war. yeah. we're going to do a second one on the telegraph because they've got this labour plots fresh war on landlords just in case labour weren't doing enough great stuff already. they're considering a french style already a red flag for me. that's all i need . for me. that's all i need. hardship tests. which means that if you were too poor, you'd be. you wouldn't be able to evict the tenant if they were going to be worse off. yeah. and we've already seen they made it. they make it increasingly hard to get people out of their own. i don't get it. it's your own house. i'm going to sound like lewis now, but i'm going to. but it's your own house and you're not allowed to evict someone because they're poonl to evict someone because they're poor. i mean, yes, it's unfortunate if they don't have money, but you can't make the government can't force you. it's much like inheritance tax. like that's not their money. this is why i hate labour. i'm just getting so angry reading these things. and also they want to do this ridiculous thing that sunak actually scrap. to his credit of the energy performance certificates thing, it's going to come in by 2030 where you
11:10 pm
have to have these ridiculous upgrades like heat pumps, which are going to be awful. they're reintroducing energy efficiency targets just to make it even worse. they're trying to do every possible bad thing they can think of. >> yeah, i did like one of the one of the tests on this high hipness test is if being evicted will make you homeless. and i thought that might be the definition. so. but we move on to the next one. >> tautology. yeah. >> tautology. yeah. >> for time reasons, i move on to the sunday mirror. lewis. bbc chief should quit over, run over , chief should quit over, run over, over you over run. over you over run. >> over you over run. >> i don't know how over you you the guy was. he was looking at some bad pictures and he he had previously, which i thought this was the worst that he had done. paid a guy 30, a young guy who was. i think he was i don't know how old the guy was, but he paid him £35,000, which is about $40,000 maybe for sex pics. and they say that this guy, tim davie, who's the head of the bbc, should be kicked, kicked out because this is just a run. they have so many bad people in the bbc. the reason why people care about the bad people. the bbc is because we're forced to pay bbc is because we're forced to pay for it. >> we would care about it even
11:11 pm
if we weren't paying. in this particular case, if you saw that someone on telly, well, we all cared about scofield, which is not the same as this case. i'm just saying it's not that we're angry just because it's the bbc. >> it's not just because of that. it is. but that's the main thing. why, whenever somebody says it's the bbc, you think to yourself, that's my 169. whatever it is, pounds 159. >> so the main thing is still the crimes . >> so the main thing is still the crimes. but yeah, i understand the point. and tim davies in a very tricky position because we've talked about it before we came on air, he, he, he knew about it. so you go, well that's terrible. but actually until you're guilty you can't just as you were saying, get rid of someone if they haven't been proved guilty because then they can see you and you obviously can't do that. so tim davies, as disgusting as huw edwards thing is, and as much as i dislike the bbc, am i getting into it later? luckily, in some detail how bad the bbc is. but tim davies does seem like he has an impossible job. >> yeah. all right, let's move on to the next one. we're going with the daily star sunday, i believe, is the next one. >> yes, the premier sunday papen >> yes, the premier sunday paper. it's they've gone with eureka, which is that britons are their brainiest on the bog.
11:12 pm
and i'm glad we got enough time to cover this, steve. it's life changing decisions on loo more creative than office. so two thirds of brits say they come up with their cleverest ideas on the loo , essentially. and, i the loo, essentially. and, i don't know really where to go from there. people say the shower normally, don't they? because your mind switches off and you get into that deeper creative mode. there's some sort of science behind it. i hadn't heard the loo as much. >> well, i don't believe that times are tough and i know myself because of my all meat diet. i do do far less because it's a factor. i do far less poo. so i must not, must not be as smart as other people now. i used to go out. >> i used to go. you lost all your good ideas like team world, because i was down there. >> that was a good one and i haven't spent as much time working. i could sit there and maybe write out the whole thing. >> you came out the bathroom. you're like team world. but since then you haven't had another idea. >> i think i used to go for three, 4 or 5 times. i used to, iused three, 4 or 5 times. i used to, i used to go a lot more because when you're on a plant based diet, you can't digest that stuff. so this is information that you can't do anything with, though. >> no one's going to read this
11:13 pm
and go, well, i'll do more then. no. >> yes they will. yes they will. >> yes they will. yes they will. >> oh why why have haemorrhoids if you try and just, you know, force that a good idea. >> no, i remember my father, you know, he was a bit constipated at the time. people were constipated back then. they're not constipated anymore. >> it is actually true, isn't it? the sort of archetypal man of the house. the only time he gets any peace is in the toilet. so maybe it's tied to that. >> yeah. it's the one room that's got a lock on the inside. you just go by world, click, click and they can't come and get you. >> yeah, that's the best thing about being a man is going to the going to the loo. >> you've got a shed anyway. more on that later. that's the front covers covered the next section
11:14 pm
11:15 pm
11:16 pm
next. welcome back to headliners. i'm stephen allen, mono, flanked by louis schaefer and nick dixon onto louis the independent. now i'm no world war ii historian, but i thought i knew which side had the swastika and it wasn't the english informed me. >> no. and that's what they're
11:17 pm
doing right now. they're, they're they're accusing people of doing bad things who aren't surprised. but anyway, man with a swastika tattoo at the sunderland riots praised by far right protesters for pure british body art. and he wasn't praised by about one protester, i guess. and this is in sunderland and that's i've been there and it's you got to keep your eye open, >> do they like your tattoos? >> do they like your tattoos? >> i actually have a i actually have a sunderland t shirt that i was wearing in many years ago, and i got pulled over by the cops because i was wearing a i think it was i was wearing a sunderland t shirt. i was driving a car anyway, this is this is the news. the news is that they're riots going on. why are there riots? is the news. this is the news. this is this is in the independent, which isn't even a newspaper. it's just a website, you know that. yeah. nick so why are we including the independent and saying this is the headline we're doing websites now. >> we got your website next. yes. well, i want to put mine in. >> and why not put somebody. why not put your wet. you should. >> yeah, yeah. nick dixon. not now. yeah.
11:18 pm
>> to keep it to the nick dixon. >> to keep it to the nick dixon. >> dot net. >> dot net. >> the meta analysis of what things are. >> and so they're saying they're a bunch of nazis doing this, which is. >> no, they're saying there's an irony, isn't there? >> they're saying there's one guy with a nazi thing. these people who put tattoos on, they put the weirdest stuff on. and maybe it wasn't even a tattoo. maybe it was one of those indian swastika symbols that the that the guy was putting on with a mirror behind his back, and he got it backwards. i think some clarity on this. >> well, i've been very loathe to call any of these people far right, because the media is so willing to and starmer is so willing to and starmer is so willing to. this one i'm going to give you, if you've got the actual nazi swastika, i'm going to go, okay. yeah. that guy seems to be far right. and it's a shame because this gives, of course , people like the course, people like the independent or people like or whatever they are. websites like the independent, and it skews to say, yeah, everyone's like this. and of course we know it's only a few, but there just aren't that many far right people around. but when they have the swastika, yes, i will concede those ones probably. >> but if there was no guy with the swastika, the independent would be totally loving to this. no, no, of course it wouldn't be. maybe. >> maybe the independent put the put the swastika on him. i'm not i'm not saying that officially that's satirical content, but
11:19 pm
they probably do either a website. >> well, you don't say. they probably did. you're not allowed to say that they could have. >> i'm saying the satirical. wouldn't it be funny if they did? they got their story. >> and then you said they probably did, but they didn't. probably did. no, they didn't. >> on both sides failing by saying all that. everyone in this riot is far right and he can't be that that everyone who's far right has turned up to these riots like the surely if you've got a situation where some people are wishing to protest , that's good, you're all protest, that's good, you're all power to you. we have the right to protest. and if someone else turns up to a protest and sets fire to a building, that's a crime and they're not the same group. they're not the same people. >> so even then , sorry, that is >> so even then, sorry, that is a crime. but is that far out? i saw dan hodges, i think it was put out a tweet saying, you know, obviously the people who have concerns about immigration aren't far right. but if you're setting fire to stuff and being violent, then you are not necessarily you might just be a troublemaker, you've committed a crime and you know, but doesn't necessarily mean you're an organised far—right group. >> wouldn't you be bringing in the laws to stop people setting fire to things in protest, but not to ban protests? so again, it's not that everyone needs to
11:20 pm
be covered by these laws. >> why are they throwing stones at the police? because they're very upset. >> that's not answering the question. if everyone just thinks that there's just one group, and if you're if you're saying any of them are far right, then you're hating everyone. or if you're saying that everyone going to these protests wants to set to . fire protests wants to set to. fire >> because the reason why this is totally offensive is the same way you wouldn't call all people of the left commies, you know, because they may not be commies, but it's the same way. calling somebody far right is by is totally degrading the entire thing. some some of these people need to be degraded. i know what it's like to be punched in the face and they're throwing stones. i believe that that's wrong. >> but the only problem is what you're saying, steve, is it assumes the police, in the heat of the moment, can can discriminate between people who are setting fires off, who are not. we've seen the police here. they just go to a guy and punch him in the face for no reason. and then you get into the two tier policing situation. do you think it's really they're really able to do that. they don't seem able to do that. they don't seem able to do that. they don't seem able to just police completely. >> the goal still needs to be there, doesn't it? you want a police that can stop anyone rioting.
11:21 pm
>> but but there is a there's already a law about you can't set fire to stuff. >> it's called arson. and you're allowed to protest. so those those laws are already there. >> what are the police doing? the fact is, if there is a two tier policing system in this country, because this country has let in perhaps 20 million people over the last 20 years, and if you want the end of two tier policing, you want it to surely end in the everyone gets policed well rather than well. >> they didn't get policed, so we should also not be policed. >> yeah, no, that's totally wrong and people should be. but we know you set fire to a police station. you should be put in jail. but you can understand why they got why they set fire to they got why they set fire to the police station. >> just because the carbon footprint. nick, the metro, one of the protests. >> go on. yeah, it was actually the building next to the police station. just so we don't get done for misinformation. >> yeah, it wasn't it wasn't the police station. it was next door to it. i apologise. don't you can tweet me at louis. >> we'll tell you that in the post. edit. don't worry, nick. the metro, one of the protests included a notable hug, which as an introvert, makes me even more worried about going up there. >> yeah, this is imam hugs man protesting against mosque saying our hearts were broken as well . our hearts were broken as well. and this is adam colwick for iwan and he's at the liverpool's
11:22 pm
oldest mosque, the abdullah quilliam mosque. and or quilliam. anyway, i've seen this guy online making videos saying, you know, these things affect us as well. we were upset by the girls being killed as well and trying to create some sort of unity, which is perfectly nice. and it is a good thing to do, though . it's i mean, and it is a good thing to do, though. it's i mean, i'm and it is a good thing to do, though . it's i mean, i'm sure though. it's i mean, i'm sure it's not going to be enough, but it's not going to be enough, but it's nice that some people are doing this. some people tend to say in general, when it comes to islam, why can't the peaceful, reasonable muslims do more? but i don't really think that's fair because you're going about your life, you're a normal person. you might be afraid as well. i think it ultimately always comes back to the authorities and our leaders. and what they did was fail over a number of years to sufficiently punish crimes and sufficiently punish crimes and sufficiently condemn crimes. and that led to an atmosphere of resentment where they weren't thought to be doing enough. that was a big problem. and that puts peaceful muslims at risk as well as we've seen now, because now the whole thing kicks off. it becomes chaos. and now muslims are saying they're afraid. but thatis are saying they're afraid. but that is also because the authorities have not cracked
11:23 pm
down on the actual criminal aspects. that's that's my belief . aspects. that's that's my belief. >> but then again, you see. yeah. i'm sorry. you see, the people who are running through the streets on both sides . but, the streets on both sides. but, you know, if you if you let in a mass of young kids, they didn't come here for the artistic values. they didn't come here to participate in the taylor swift dancing thing. and they don't have any kids. they just came here. so there's free floating angen here. so there's free floating anger. eventually things will calm down in the same way. in the same way things calm down for the welsh when they were dnven for the welsh when they were driven out of england, you know, they just got used to living in they just got used to living in the same way in the same way. that's what's going to happen. and that's, that's an eventuality i don't see. i'm not making . i'm eventuality i don't see. i'm not making. i'm trying not to be judgemental about it. i know they're going to come for me, but maybe they won't come for you, but they they probably will come. >> are you trying to make no sense? no one's to upset. >> i think this is. i don't want to be cynical . first of all, he to be cynical. first of all, he was an english guy, so he knows. he knows how to win over english people. but the truth is, the truth is there's a lot of hatred
11:24 pm
in the in in the there's a lot of hatred against english people who are christians or jews. there's a lot of hatred. and we have some hatred for them, but not i don't know if we have the same. i never had the same year. >> i didn't make enough sense to be ofcom warriors at all. all right, lewis, the mail on sunday calls for parliament to be recalled, which makes it sound like a sandwich that will give you the runs. yeah, it kind of is. >> well, this is former home secretary priti patel, who's got the best name. she's a beautiful girl, says parliament should be recalled in the wake of riots and brands labour's actions so far as breathtakingly complacent and, this is priti patel and she's patel in in the language, i think her language and hindi or gujarati or something means hotelier. so they're used to being hotel. what are they, what are they friendly. >> you're looking to me. i've got nothing now. >> what does it mean? >> what does it mean? >> i'm just amazed you called her a girl. i mean, i'm still reeling from that. >> well, you know, in in my age, she's a girl. i don't mean
11:25 pm
that's a good. get out. i'm not allowed. am i not allowed to call her? >> yeah, i guess that's true. >> yeah, i guess that's true. >> at your age. she's a woman. she's a woman. of course. lay woman of course, labour has done a really bad job. but i guarantee you that the conservatives would have done equally a bad job too. >> so do you think recalling parliament will make a difference or, >> no. because they're not willing to change. because they haven't changed for 15, 20 years. they want this country to be different than what it is. they hate this country. labour hates this country. nick. >> i mean , unfortunately, >> i mean, unfortunately, i agree with that last bit. but yes, i mean, starmer , he chucked yes, i mean, starmer, he chucked a metaphorical grenade and then put his fingers in his ears. he he said this horrific statement that blamed one portion of the population. then he says he's off on holiday when the country is on fire. it's an absolute disaster. so priti patel is completely right. parliament has to be recalled. they have to sort this out. it also helps that she has a leadership bid and that it looks very sort of leadership y. but that's the cynical take. but it's not really cynical because that's probably just who she is anyway. she's probably like, right, we need to sort this out. it's perhaps why she would make a good leader. so yeah, absolutely. >> i don't remember her. do you remember her beforehand
11:26 pm
standing. yeah, it got mentioned a few times, but i mean, do you remember what she used to be like because i don't. yeah, well she was, she was she, she was there in the boris era doing stuff . doing stuff. what did she stuff. doing stuff. what did she do to make the people on the ground feel more comfortable? except i don't think not much. >> i mean, this is the thing in there. she talks a lot about law and order. you think? well, maybe some of your law and order plans should have been done when you were. you were. >> you were. >> oh yeah. yeah. you know, obviously the tories were a disaster, but what's good about it is she's actually stepping up and doing something, whereas the rest of the tories are kind of in opposition mode, rebuilding, having a think where she's actually standing up and doing something which starmer's not doing. >> what do you think she's doing? she's running for office right now. she's not doing anything. well, yeah, i said that part already. you did say it. so i want to repeat it. it's a good point. well, running for the leadership, what do you think? >> at some point you two should chat like you've just watched a muppet show? oh, that was terrible. >> well, it wasn't half bad, but, nick, the observer, some asylum seekers might sue because they ended up in kent. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> home office urged to settle asylum claims over unlawful detention. this concerns manston, which was this processing centre in kent had at some point 4000 people in it.
11:27 pm
it's meant to hold a maximum of 1600. you only meant to be there for 24 hours. people were getting diptheria sounds like an absolute hell of course, the caveat that i don't think anyone should be coming into the country at the moment. the country at the moment. the country is on fire. we can't really afford to take any more people. but if you are a genuine asylum seeker and this must have been pretty awful. so yes , been pretty awful. so yes, there's a, there's a now a sort of a legal issue about it, as you'd expect, because it sounds like a complete nightmare. >> yeah. manston was an airport, so back in the old days it would have been quicker to get asylum seekers there. yeah. >> and to get them off if you wanted to get them off, it's, it's, it's one it's one more thing. it's one more thing. it's just too much. let you know too much. don't come to the country. i knew this country was headed for trouble when they let me in and they they asked, is they? i remember the guy looked at me and he asked, why? why? yeah. >> why are you from america? why? >> this was and this was 25 years ago. i think they had a feeling they said something horrible is going to happen
11:28 pm
here. >> you know, you're like, why would you come from one of the richest countries in the world to one of the poorest? yeah and you and you were just like, i couldn't make it in the best, in the freest country in the world, but the best comedy i couldn't make. >> it was horrible. it was horrible. i thought i was going to stay for two years, and now it's 25 years later. wow. so i, i'm with you with people watching this, i apologise. >> well, that's it for this bit coming up, we've got how to fix churchill, how to the bbc and how schools have found a way
11:29 pm
11:30 pm
11:31 pm
welcome back to headliners nick. onto the telegraph. new research tells us what people think the bbc, bbc should do to improve, fewer paedophiles. >> that would be a start. yeah. why not? so the telegraph goes with damaged beyond repair question mark. probably sounds like it's going to be yes already, doesn't it? three changes the telegraph readers want to see from the bbc. so it is the telegraph. so may not be
11:32 pm
the keenest on the bbc, but what the keenest on the bbc, but what the readers want to come up with is stop public funding and make it a subscription or advertising model. seems like a good idea. ensure an unbiased ethos and more high quality programming. l, more high quality programming. i, like the last one. do good shows. so yeah, i mean hard to disagree with any of that. you get these absurd letters, you know, threatening you to pay for the tv licence. completely absurd, anachronistic , draconian absurd, anachronistic, draconian nonsense. then you've got the unbiased ethos. yes. if you're just going to be a left wing propaganda channel, which is what the telegraph readers are saying, then of course, those two together become particularly offensive. we're going to force you to pay for something, and it's not going to be impartial. and then more high quality programming. well, yeah, that's also impacted by the ethos because we have all the sort of woke arts programming and the woke arts programming and the woke comedy . woke arts programming and the woke comedy. no woke arts programming and the woke comedy . no offence steve, i woke comedy. no offence steve, i know you were at the bbc, bought me a flat, but it was what you were doing was terrible. >> oh no , what i was, you could >> oh no, what i was, you could say whatever the show, but not your bit. >> i never watched it. i'm sure it was great. >> yeah, it's all right, lewis, the bbc tell us that it's the propaganda thing, and then we'll
11:33 pm
move on. yes. >> i'm not going to say that, because then you'll move on the point about this thing, i'll say it at the end is the exclusive. this is this is the telegraph readers what they should do. well, that's not basically an open poll of like, we're going to find out people. well yeah, it's telegraph readers. they, they historically have been left wing , right wing people with wing, right wing people with money or whatever their, whatever they are, they're not team world or they used to not be team world. and 91% of them said said that that the licence fee should be scrapped . once you fee should be scrapped. once you scrap the licence fee, all the other things don't matter because it's no longer your money. if they, you know, let them pay for a slot in the same way somebody else pays for a slot and people will get used to the fact that they're the official propaganda organ of team world. and they and they should. it's the bbc is one of the worst things about this country because because they present themselves as unbiased and they're ramming information down our throats. >> yeah. and as the readers say here, this is become increasingly biased. and people used to whether we were under a delusion in the past, certainly the perception was it was far
11:34 pm
more neutral. i think it was. and now it just isn't. you've got things like bbc verify, which even people at the bbc think is a big joke. it's awful. so yeah, and we obviously the things like huw edwards don't help. and are they tied in a way to the decadence of having a massive salary in this company, in this thing that you don't get rid of because it's a business, it's not a proper business. maybe that encourages a kind of atmosphere of moral decay and decadence. >> who was who was winning in the big war? the big war is team world is this whole unification of europe and of europe and america. and they don't they don't want a britain to exist. and even the king is involved in this whole business. so get rid of the bbc, get rid of ofcom and all these problems go off communist. >> well, we love ofcom. >> well, we love ofcom. >> ofcom is the is the censorship unit of the bbc. it's the censorship. >> but for ofcom balance. i love them . yeah, yeah. you made them. yeah, yeah. you made a good point about the licence fee in netflix's world, but we can just not watch netflix, right? >> yeah. and if bbc too far, we say, you know what? i'm not watching any of it. exactly. it's like with disney. i watch
11:35 pm
disney to watch the get back video. the beatles, who were fantastic, and i met, you know, who i met today? >> i met, i met i really can't keep you on any topic. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> really sorry. really. let's try and get back on the rails. lewis. the telegraph are warning. telegraph. i'll read the thing out. warnings. the winston churchill may have had outdated views with him living in the past and all. >> yes, this is a churchill portrait to get to get quote colonies, colonialism and racism. warning label a tory council and this is in hertfordshire. hertfordshire, hertfordshire. hertfordshire, hertfordshire. that's a great i've been there done many gigs. >> they named it three times. >> they named it three times. >> right. hertfordshire council, county council and they got a picture. they've got tons of pictures there that they collect and it was a picture of winston churchill that they painted in 1967, when he was still a good 9”!!- 1967, when he was still a good guy. they didn't. >> did you go to hertfordshire council? >> i went to there's many places that i've been up there. you name one of those places. where is where is hertfordshire county ? is where is hertfordshire county? it's due north. it's in the home counties. that's where all the homes are in the home counties. i went there, first of all, elstree is there and i do. isn't elstree is there and i do. isn't elstree in hertfordshire county? i've been to all those places.
11:36 pm
>> i don't want you saying, why did you go to hertfordshire, the county? why did you go to the county? why did you go to the county council building? >> i didn't go to the county council building. i went to the council. what's that going to do? i went to the area that's there. what is the question? why are you questioning me? >> nick? yeah. >> nick? yeah. >> this putting a warning sign on churchill. in case you people have never heard of him. >> this is absurd. i mean, it's absurd, particularly . it's not absurd, particularly. it's not only his woke things, you know, and someone like kehinde andrews has claimed that the empire was he led an empire that was worse than the nazis. i mean, so what you have with churchill is quite interesting. you have the far left who hates him, but you increasingly have these so—called dissident right, or the sort of online right who also don't like him, particularly the younger generation, because they see him as sort of ruining britain and, you know, and doing the wrong thing. and it's a bit complicated, but they're against him as well. basically. why is well, they sort of say he ruined britain. he made he didn't need to get us into the war. there's all these kind of theories on the right, and the people who still like him are the sort of large middle, the neoliberal neocon type people and of
11:37 pm
course, for my generation, we are the last generation to have are the last generation to have a real world connection with the war, because my both my grandfathers fought in world war two, and you could talk to them about it, because i think for the younger generations he was just on the internet. they don't know anything about history. it does. they're like, oh, who's church ? there's just some other church? there's just some other 9”!!- church? there's just some other guy.so church? there's just some other guy. so on the on the far left and sort of far aspects of the left and right, they don't like it. but in the middle, of course, he's still an icon for this country. so these kind of things are bound to absolutely rile people. >> yeah. and no one ever goes to these buildings. so why why waste your time at least? actually in the article, they do say it's not a priority for them. good. because you're a council collecting bins now. >> people do go to the council buildings. they have. >> they have. you've never been there. that's what we've worked. >> i've never been there. no, but i've been to the other towns up there in hertfordshire. name a town in hertfordshire. i'm gonna have to look at my map. i'm joe biden. i don't remember this stuff. don't push me. i've got a couple of weeks left. >> nick, i private schools have found a way to earn money to pay the full vat, so expect gcse in making iphones soon. >> yeah it's goodbye bursaries question mark how private schools are clawing back cash as
11:38 pm
vat levy looms. it's another awful labour policy destroying the country. so that's my objective view . so nick objective view. so nick armitage, head of rupert house, which is a prep school in henley, henley is saying that we he's talking about how parents are making massive sacrifices for their children to attend private schools , as we know, and private schools, as we know, and they're already paying taxes for state places they're not taking up, which i think is a decent point. and he's just saying everyone's going to just pull their kids out of this. another guy, mike harris, is saying that children will pull out their sorry. parents will pull children out at more than the 3 to 7% forecast by the institute of fiscal studies. and that seems likely to me. and he's saying it feels like seems likely to me. and he's saying it feels like
11:39 pm
money using the buildings during school time, doing holiday clubs or whatever? i mean, some of these things are actually good ideas. the reason behind them you might not like carried away. >> well, that's the private schools are doing that. the point is, is that we don't need pubuc point is, is that we don't need public schools. is that people, if they value education, they should take their own money. they should the money should not be taken out of our out of our i mean, we don't need state schools. we don't need state in america. we call state schools. so they should eliminate the vat, the so our private schools are a necessity, they're a necessity now because from what i know of, i sent my kids to pubuc i know of, i sent my kids to public private school, whatever state school, state schools. and they. and they turned out horribly . horribly. >> but that could have been so many other reasons. louis, i don't like the parenting. the parenting? no. >> we've done. >> we've done. >> i met your son. he's he's he's a good guy. >> he's he's a good guy. but he could have been better. he could have. both of them could have
11:40 pm
been better. i we don't need state schools. i'm against state schools. let people pay for their own education. if they don't want to send their kids to school. well, tough. >> louis, the mail on sunday, female teachers are leaving to become mothers out of the frying pan. trust me, kids are way better when they leave earth—three. >> this is a non—story completely. number of teachers abandoning the profession reaches five year high as almost 40,000 leave the state schools in one year. well, basically that's 9% of the teachers, which isn't that much for a job, people. 9% always leave a job, and being a teacher is the hardest job in the world. my friend angela was a teacher and she hated it. and you could understand why you hate it. you hate it because it's run by the government. it's run by the state, it's run by the whoever's in charge, and it's left wing . in charge, and it's left wing. and that's what they're saying. they're saying people are , but they're saying people are, but people are always slightly more of left school now than isn't this a worry, nick? >> because like the story before, it was like, we're going to need more tea. we need more teachers. no one can teach maths at the moment, and all these
11:41 pm
extra kids are going to come into the state school sector. ooh, yeah, but who wants to teach any more, steve? >> it's just violent classrooms full of illiterate thugs, like some sort of j.g. ballard nightmares, like. or some sort of lord of the flies situation. and then teachers have no power and it just sounds like an absolute hellscape there. as bob dylan once sang, everything is broken , which includes broken, which includes schooling. i've not been to a schooling. i've not been to a school recently. weird if i had, do you know what i mean? i don't work for the bbc, but. but i heard it's an absolute nightmare. >> yeah, well, my kids have been there just recently. and the truth. the truth, i believe it or not, i've got young, relatively young kids. but the truth is the truth is, is that if the state didn't own the schools, the state wouldn't need to find people to be teachers . to find people to be teachers. they would. the schools would. yeah, somebody else would. they would pay this full on anarchism. >> lewis and no schools. >> lewis and no schools. >> yes. no, there'll be schools if you because you'd want to send your kids to school and maybe volunteerism you do you'd be mothers would be staying at home because that's the most important thing is a mother looking after her own children,
11:42 pm
not sending them to some left wing. i love that libertarian all the way back to like, hardcore conservatism. >> it was great. >> it was great. >> better performance than i've seen diving. >> if they don't want. no, no no i'm not, i'm not. no i'm going to defend this . if they don't, to defend this. if they don't, if they don't want to, if they want to send their kids to school, they can send their kids to school and they can go off to work and destroy their children's lives. i'm not going to force them to do it. >> nick, the i should the elgin marbles be returned? probably to avoid being damaged in one of our protests. >> and the only reason i'd like to return them so we can stop talking about them. so the elgin marbles returned to greece, more likely on the labour as mood music shifts. so everything bad's going to happen. on the laboun bad's going to happen. on the labour, so we didn't want to give them back before the osborne keeps wanting to give them back. he keeps talking about his deal george osborne we're going to give them. and then there's a deal to be done, he says. what do we get? do we get like a feta cheese recipe? what what the greeks giving us when we give them these marbles, pay when we give them these marbles, pay for them. >> did we pay for these? >> did we pay for these? >> give back nothing. give no nothing. we're keeping all of it. that's what i say. >> i'm. you know what? i hate to say it. i agree with nick. yeah. i mean, in a way, it would make
11:43 pm
him happy. they're an ally, and they've been asking for it a lot. and give it back to them and tell them it's garbage. and you and your parthenon. you might as you fix it, fill in the walls. it's too much open space there. put a new roof on the parthenon. it's from the parthenon. >> basically . people like chris >> basically. people like chris bryant, who has floated the idea again. he said, it's a matter for the trustees, and this is seen as sort of opening the door to loan them the government saying it's not going to be a permanent return, but they're opening the door to loaning them, not a permanent try getting them back. try getting anything back off. i know, try loading lewis up there. you never see it again. >> well, that's deliberately ipp, >> well, that's deliberately |pp, but >> well, that's deliberately ipp, but part four is a siren tempting you to stay up later? >> we'll talk about getting ghosted. trump and windsurfers coasting.
11:44 pm
11:45 pm
11:46 pm
soon. welcome back to the final section of headliners lewis the observer. trump will debate harris anytime, anywhere. >> oh this is and probably after the election. yeah >> no it's not done this before. >> no it's not done this before. >> no it's not done this before. >> no it's not i know i mean
11:47 pm
because he because, because nick was, was actually to talking me. he's in a good mood. you got to get nick on a good, good day. he's fantastic. that's why they haven't fired him. >> paid more to stay off topic, why don't . why don't. >> why do we care? do you think it cares? 11:00 at night. nobody in the harris. >> when the. when are they going to beat? what they're going to debate. well, because. >> because this is how the democrats do things and this is what you do. this is out of hitler's rule book, which is you attack them for what you're doing, whatever you're doing. you say that they're doing it . you say that they're doing it. so she's saying that that donald trump doesn't want to be doesn't want to debate her, that donald trump, who is not afraid of anything, the guy is all whatever. and so this is what it says. trump agrees to debate on fox news , but harris insists on fox news, but harris insists on abc, which just shows how divided the abc is. like the bbc of american politics. >> they'd already agreed to do the debate on abc. they hadn't. and when it was both agreed with biden, right. >> when trump just said, oh, you know, the guy wants a debate, i'm going to say yes. he said
11:48 pm
yes to whatever biden wanted. but this kamala , kamala, kamala but this kamala, kamala, kamala harris, she's not joe biden. you are not joe biden. camilla, deep . are not joe biden. camilla, deep. kamala deep. >> yeah, yeah, i love the trump statement , he >> yeah, yeah, i love the trump statement, he said. the debate was previously scheduled against sleepy sleepy joe biden on abc, but has been terminated and that biden will no longer be a participant. and i'm in litigation against abc network and george slop or whatever he calls him. so it's a good point. he can't be on abc and litigation against him. it's a conflict of interest. >> it would have been on there if it was still biden. >> yeah, i know it's a it's a it's just a standoff isn't it. he's saying i want it on fox news. kamala is saying no, i want to be unburdened and have it on abc. and so it's a standoff. >> kamala harris suddenly came out, >> but trump is too. here's my theory. trump is too good at debates. he crushed biden so hard that he knocked him out of the race entirely and not knocked a week. >> he nearly killed him. >> he nearly killed him. >> you knocked a weak opponent out. who now he's got hillary, destroyed her career by saying, and you'd be in jail and destroyed her career. but now he's got to refocus and get and do another debate. it must be so
11:49 pm
annoying against kamala, who is annoying against kamala, who is an idiot, and he's into debate, but he has to focus. and what will help kamala is they're going to i think they're going to do the same format, which is those short cut off you got like a minute, right, or two minutes, something like that. so they can cut it off before she starts rambling about being unburdened. so it will actually help. >> and he doesn't want to do that. maybe the point is this is that. maybe the point is this is that he could be. i'm not saying he can win because he looks like he's near death. he might. i think he's not even going to run because i think he's going to be deadin because i think he's going to be dead in a week or two. they're going to kill him. they're going to try to kill him. that's what the democrats do. so they don't have to. >> i'm not saying literally run out of breath, don't you? >> i don't, because i halfway through i said, maybe i shouldn't say this, but i don't trust. >> that's what i was thinking. >> that's what i was thinking. >> yeah, i shouldn't say it, but i think that i think you should vote any americans out there. you should vote democrat. so the republicans don't have to steal the election. >> nick. sunday mirror, they've done research into why people get ghosted. it's because they don't want to speak to you anymore. how difficult is this ? yeah. >> do you know what? well, it's expert reveals why you've been ghosted after dates, and it's nothing to do with you. that's good to know, isn't it, louis?
11:50 pm
>> so it is everything to do with you? it is. >> i actually had a seminal stand up comedy routine on this, but i've forgotten it completely because i'm retired and i was going to listen to it again to remember for the show and i couldn't be bothered. so check out my seminal routine i did on britain's got talent. simpler times before the culture war took over. >> that is a fi harrison cop out. thank you. not doing your homework. >> yeah, but anyway. but anyway, ghosting apparently isn't i like this? it's not always due to lack of care. it's often a misguided effort to avoid hurting someone. i agree with that. i've thought before. what do i say to this girl? and i got nothing because i don't want to be mean and avoid being screamed at because women will get so upset and a woman thinks, why do i want to deal with some guy by telling him, i don't find you attractive? >> you're not making enough money. you're not that interesting. i'm banging somebody. whatever they they don't want to get hurt. so of course, ghosting is a brilliant. it's what you do. you just say, oh, i'm sorry i lost your number. i've been meaning to call you. and they never call him back again. yeah, so. >> well this is a non news story. this is hard news. >> this is.
11:51 pm
>> this is. >> no it's not. it's in the mirror, >> louis the observer. you love this though don't you. yeah. we found a server who's not all chilled and he . dude about life. chilled and he. dude about life. >> yeah. this is emma wilson. claims mental health put her at risk at the olympics after windsurfing. bronze. she's an engush windsurfing. bronze. she's an english chick. and she didn't win because they had some different thing which they had a they had races and then and then they had races and then and then the winner of that race, the three of them raced together and emma wasn't prepared to do what she wasn't in her game, as they say. she had a really negative attitude about it, which is so typical of the british. she just thought she couldn't win. she she , she said she couldn't win. she, she said she couldn't win. so she didn't she didn't win . so she didn't she didn't win. it's windsurfing. it's the gayest of all sports . gayest of all sports. >> i didn't see that. you sharp left turn. >> you even say that it is. normally i'm ready to apologise. >> it's not like she was a boxer. you say boxers shouldn't cry. i think that's pretty terrible. >> lucy, are you saying that because clearly synchronised swimming is the gayest of all. so. or maybe that horse thing where they just prance around and don't jump, dress up?
11:52 pm
>> dressage. >> dressage. >> i was making a joke because i hadnt >> i was making a joke because i hadn't really thought about what is the gayest. all of the olympics. the thing, all of the olympics. the thing, all of the olympics is the gayest. this is the gayest. it's all i'm not against. gay. gay is good. >> lewis is gay. so he can say it. >> i can it.- >> i can say it.— >> i can say 40s to go it. >> i can say 40s to go on this as well. i can't end it. i've just got to watch it happen. no. i'm gonna. >> i will say this. if you take a look at every sport the way it's done today, it's basically. i'm not going to. i heard a comedian in new york at the comedy cellar say, i think it was dave attell. maybe. of course, you're going to be good. you've spent all day doing it. that's all these guys do. wasn't like they did it in the weekends or something. at an hour or two, i can't believe you were worried about lewis not being able to fill time. >> that was, if you've learned one thing, what he's going to fill in, what's he going to say? that's the thing. will we get arrested? >> the actual story she got a pass straight through to the final, which meant she hadn't practised the course . practised the course. >> yeah, i read this several times and still didn't understand it. did you get it? >> it took me a few reads as well. we had to talk about it. something about ley lines. >> i'm like, this is awful. >> i'm like, this is awful. >> every line seems like you're walking around with those
11:53 pm
divining rods and it's oh, it's energies. >> and oh, right. exactly. okay. >> and oh, right. exactly. okay. >> windsurfing is not a sport, right? >> we've got to win. >> we've got to win. >> surfing is not. >> surfing is not. >> the show is nearly over where we got to. we got to the end. let's take another look at your front air, your sundays front pages. mail on sunday, summer of discontent. it's what they go with. observer writers will pay the price as wave of violence sweeps uk sunday telegraph says 24 hour courts to tackle rioters. the sunday express secret agents hunting down far right rioters sunday mirror goes with bbc chiefs should quit over hue and your daily star. eureka! those are your front pages. that's all we've got time for. thank you to my guest. lewis and nick josh howie will be here tomorrow at 11 with nick and damian slash. and if you're watching at five, stay tuned for breakfast. have a good one. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather from the met office. it turns increasingly unsettled over the

some hazy sunshine in places too. and as we head through the day on sunday, we'll see further areas of cloud and rain pushing north eastwards across parts of northern ireland, scotland , northern ireland, scotland, perhaps northern england. too much of the rest of england and wales largely staying dry. but there will be quite a lot of cloud around perhaps 1 or 2 showers. best of the sunshine across southern and southeastern areas. temperatures here reaching around 23 or 24 cooler. further north and west you go 16 or 17 with a breezy conditions across western scotland on monday, we can see heavy rain across northern ireland. scotland, some local disruption possible due to that heavy rain through the day, with the met office warning out until around 9 pm. drier further south and east. temperatures are reaching around 26 or 27, so feeling a little warmer then cooler and more unsettled later in the week . more unsettled later in the week. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb
