congratulations . i don't know, >> oh, really? well, congratulations. i don't know, i feel like i win. i got to be honest. there's a lot of people who hate me, right? let's look at those front pages. we have the daily mail stoking race riots from his sun bed. the times riot inciters face reckoning the guardian. you will regret this, starmer warns rioters metro shame on you. i knew starmer vows to bring thugs to justice as riots sweep uk daily star. to be or to not bees. and those are your newspapers . bees. and those are your newspapers. damian bees. and those are your newspapers . damian shock newspapers. damian shock us. what are the guardian leading with? >> the guardian? are going with? you will regret this, starmer warns rioters a hotel for asylum seekers in rotherham was set alight as violence continues and this is of course, is about the kind of tragic scenes that are unfolding across the country. and you know, with this escalation of violence seemingly getting worse. and, you know, keir starmer has called it far right thuggery . and, you know, right thuggery. and, you know,

in that sense he accepts that people have been radicalised, which is, you know, an interesting point because the question then has to be, well , question then has to be, well, what is radicalising people? and some people argue it's, you know , some people argue it's, you know, russia or elon musk or twitter or tommy robinson. but of course, for the people rioting who obviously clearly have nothing to lose, i mean, the more he says these things , the more he says these things, the more he says these things, the more the violence escalates. so you have to ask yourself what's going on and, you know, martin luther king writes, said a riot is a language of the unheard, which he would, you know, you should never really use for this kind of thing. but of course, it's used all the time for civil unrest and violence . so it's unrest and violence. so it's true whether you like it or not. so the question really has to be, if you want to solve this quickly, you have to work out what the kind of the essence is of that radicalisation of that anger that drives people to feel like they have nothing left to lose. so it's not very funny. i can't really think of any funny. >> no, no, no , no. we'll get to >> no, no, no, no. we'll get to the funny stuff in a bit. but

nick, i mean, you know, damian of course has a point here. and then you had starmer before saying i won't shy away from calling it what it is, but actually he hasn't really called out what it is at all, has he? >> he did shy away from it precisely because he only mentions one side. i mean, has starmer not seen the videos? we've all seen the bbc have admitted today that there are groups of what they call the asian community chanting allahu akbar. 100. i think they said 250 to 300 men charged in the police. so at least acknowledge that there's violence on both sides. no one is saying violence is okay, but he can only acknowledge one side. and this is what is, in my opinion, making things even worse. he will, he will. he said people in this country have a right to be safe, but that's what's been taken away from people. that's what they feel. they feel that slack. immigration policies have made the country less safe, and as many instances we could cite. and so what about those people who don't feel safe now? no one is saying the violence is okay, but why have the normally tolerant british people been pushed into a kind of atavistic, primitive rage? there's got to

be a reason for it. so some people are saying we should just condemn the violence and not talk about the reasons. at this stage, it's like, no, we have to talk about the reasons. we'll get on later. >> well, this is i mean, is it about condemning? i mean, arguably the first thing is to stop the violence. so this is what they seem to be really pushing for, which is. right. so of course, the violence, we need it to stop as soon as possible. it's all about deterrence. it's all about pushing forward this thing that these all night courts like he, you know, he was in charge in 2011 with the you know, they were open all night. they they handed down rightly so to those riots back then, harsh sentences. they've already arrested about 450 people. and they are being very clear about this. hopefully that will stop this. hopefully that will stop this violence. so then maybe then we can talk about in the future . yeah. future. yeah. >> i mean, it's like the london riots. i mean, i remember those vividly. and you know, how did they come to an end? it almost has a life of its own. and yes, you can crack down on it and you can use strong words, but ultimately, in the long run, in the long game, this this kind of thing is going to get worse. if we don't start addressing the kind of if we don't say stop a

kind of if we don't say stop a kind of if we don't say stop a kind of like low level gaslighting from the ruling class, that there can not possibly be any connection whatsoever between, say, experimental levels of mass immigration and the likes of which nobody's ever seen before. and say, an increase in violent events, that you can go back to the manchester bombing, you can go to nottingham last year. there's a litany of them, you know, kent lee, ruby, whatever. i mean, just to say this to just say there can never be or is no connection between those two things is the kind of undercurrent gaslight, which has to be kind of nipped in the bud. and that's what that police commissioner was. >> well, this is what we're going to talk about that and there's actually some brilliant articles of gaslighting , which articles of gaslighting, which we're going to get to later on in the show. just one possible a little bit of gaslighting here in the story below . little bit of gaslighting here in the story below. nick tory culture war stoked far right says adviser. so this is sort of arguing that this is , dame sara arguing that this is, dame sara khan, who was sunaks independent adviser for social cohesion and resilience . she's blaming the resilience. she's blaming the tories. there is an argument, of course. she just didn't do her

job very well. >> she's blaming the tories. but in the in the wrong sense, she's saying there's a gap in legislation which sort of allows far right extremists to operate with impunity. i've seen this argument quite a few times. it's the argument, oh, it's the right stoking up this, this thing. but that fails to go one step further and say, yeah, but what is the fuel that allows them to do that? if we accept your premise and of course, it's all the children stabbed , murdered, the children stabbed, murdered, raped, etc, so they won't go that far. they'll just they'll just go, oh, it's this stoking up just go, oh, it's this stoking ”p by just go, oh, it's this stoking up by the right. and this is another part of that. and it's kind of infuriating gaslighting. well, there's obviously a missing piece that's the problem. >> and so it over time it becomes corrosive and aggravating . and you couple that aggravating. and you couple that with, you know, a decade of identity politics and intersectional identity politics. you know, fixating on racial differences and racial grievances and, and ideas around whiteness and this kind of thing being, you know , forced down our being, you know, forced down our throats by the ruling classes. and it's those toxic combination andifs and it's those toxic combination and it's so dangerous. and of course , nobody wants to see course, nobody wants to see this. this has to be stopped ,

this. this has to be stopped, and it has to be stopped properly, not just nipped in the bud. people arrested. otherwise it's just not going to go away. yeah. >> and crucially, the two tier policing, just lastly, which we haven't mentioned, i've sort of alluded to it. he's even called two tier care, but he hasn't woken up and realised why he has this nickname. it's so obvious to everyone. >> well, it's a very recent nickname because he's only been in power for the two tier. policing has been going arguably for a lot longer under a tory government. >> yeah, and two tier policing happens because it's a management issue and it's an ideological issue. and they do it because they have to because they can't control it any other way. and they do it because for the reasons you've mentioned, because actually part of their ideology. but that's the big thing that makes people so furious because they see the blatant unfairness every day. >> and again, there is no justification for some of the disgusting violence we've seen from thuggery. utilising these real feelings. this is insane. >> i mean, this, this, this, this is insane. this is what was happening in ireland a few months ago in southern ireland, you know, asylum seeker housing being set on fire. this is these things are happening a lot, and they're all happening in the same way. and they're all kind of legless, but also just general thuggery, like , you

general thuggery, like, you know, libraries attacked and burnt and whatever. >> and it's not rational because it's just erupting now. but i condemn violence on all sides. i just want to know, why can't keir starmer. >> well, all right. well, nick, what's on the cover of the daily mail then? >> so they've got stoking race riots from his sunbed. and i'm slightly loathe to even talk about this because this is this is tommy robinson, and he's already said that this is the mail essentially doxing his address while on holiday. and that his kids were were crying about it. so i don't want to be part of that. but the story is out now, so we have to cover it. but i'm completely against this. he's obviously a controversial figure. i mean , he's a hate figure. i mean, he's a hate figure. i mean, he's a hate figure for the left on the right. he's also a controversial figure. some say he doesn't help the causes he espouses. some say he's too into israel. i've heard some say he's actually his message is watered down because he's he's quite into the multicultural britain. he's just not into islam. so some people he has criticism on all sides but should you should you, doc someone who has innocent children who's on their holiday? i say no and on this quickly on this issue of that he's fuelling violence and he and then gallivanting off. you can say that. but what about nick lowles

from hope not hate spreading misinformation on twitter, something that turned out to be fake, which was then shared by josh fenton. glynn, who's a labour mp. so there is a lot of that going on, of course. >> well, there's been a lot going wrong of both sides of that for, for a long time now. but two wrongs don't make a right, in terms of what, you know, putting out that false accusation of, of a, of an acid attack. here he is here. it's a photo of him. he's probably quite happy with that photo. i think i would if i was, i think i would be pretty. i mean he's got, i don't know, i just yeah. and luckily he's not, excited in that photo either which is good. but i mean, the fact is he has put out false information over the last few days and it has arguably antagonised situation. now, the big question for me , now, the big question for me, damian, i would like to ask you if that's okay is because that's the show without him. would what's happened over the last few days have happened? >> if you if you think that if he didn't exist that this wouldn't have happened, i think

you'd be sorely mistaken. >> and that is a huge mistake to make. you know, if he if he was on mars or was never born, there still would have happened. and i mean, i, i might it might be a bit of a dark view, but i'm of the opinion that even if that misinformation, which it was, hadnt misinformation, which it was, hadn't gone out about the identity of the perpetrator of that , one of the identity of the perpetrator of that, one of the most identity of the perpetrator of that , one of the most horrific that, one of the most horrific things that's ever happened in the and some other things that have happened that he's been tweeting. >> but that's fine. >> but that's fine. >> sure. yes, but but that one in particular if, if, if that information hadn't come out, that misinformation, i still think this would have happened. >> and if not now, it may have happened next time. something like this happens because it's going to happen again. it keeps happening. it's been happening for years, and eventually there will be a stabbing of the girls, not the tweets. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> well, well yes indeed. but i'm just saying that to answer your question, i don't think it would have made any difference at all. >> yeah. and, very quickly, let's just quickly do you know what? let's go straight to the daily star, nick, you got that one. >> oh , well, we have to get to >> oh, well, we have to get to the start.

>> i mean, just, you know what we've had some serious discussion here. it's all gone a bit. that's that's. discussion here. it's all gone a bit. that's that's . yeah. bit. that's that's. yeah. >> no, some real news story. it's two b's or not two b's. and that's a pun, right? it's some sort of pun. i'm not quite word, but it's the b's have gone awol and because of tommy robinson. yes. and wasps have done a bunk as well. and you always have this story. it's boffins again. the stars. back to the boffins. you always have the bees of god's story. you remember a few years ago, it was like we don't have enough bees. and the whole ecosystem is dependent on them and we'll all die. it didn't happen. and it was fine. but every so often the bees go missing and nothing happens. yeah, i like them, but nothing against them. >> yeah , i want the bees to >> yeah, i want the bees to stay. i don't know what's i don't know why they're leaving. i mean, i mean, i mean , right i mean, i mean, i mean, right now i quite like to leave to the way this country is going. it's absolutely horrendous segue. they've got the right idea. but of course, i mean , it's of course, i mean, it's pesticides are a massive problem for bees. before you even get to the climate issues that are affecting them . but, yeah, affecting them. but, yeah, i don't know what we can do to bnng don't know what we can do to bring them back. maybe offer

them some kind of package, a pollen bonus or something, i don't know, some more flowers. >> let's grow some more flowers then. sure. some sort of enticement. right. good. well, that's a front page. has given a good discussion. in the next section, we continue with that vibe with riots. hugh hezbollah, trump, meat

welcome back to headliners. i'm josh howie. i've got a bunch of monday's newspapers, a bunch of comedians in the form of damien slash and nick dixon and i've got a man in my ear telling me to get on with it. so first up, we have monday's telegraph. damien. and surely this isn't an elected official trying to use nuance. well, this is from the telegraph. >> it's the tory police commissioner blames illegal immigration for the riots and the tory policing chief has suggested that mass, uncontrolled immigration is one of the reasons behind rioting, which has spread across the uk, according to the telegraph, which is slightly unfair because, donna jones wasn't

saying that. that's the reason why she was trying to explain, because she clearly wants to stop this happening, like we all do, and wants to end this madness by again, like we were saying before, trying to identify what the root causes are of why people might become radicalised at the point that they take this kind of action. and she was saying that the reason is, people are angry about, say, not having their questions answered about these issues. and so that's why violence is never the answer. but that doesn't mean that violence isn't an answer. when people become so aggrieved or so upset that the question is not being answered. so if you want to end or prevent this kind of thing, you have to be able to have these difficult conversations. people have to feel heard whether you like it or not. >> that's right. well, it all comes down to being listened to. the interesting thing, of course, is that when this sort of is kicked off and you had various people nick calling for her to resign and, and whatnot, and she's, she's, standing strong . strong. >> yeah. but the only disturbing thing to me is that it was

deleted. she stood by it, but it's deleted from the website. and it's not clear to me why this was the statement starmer needed to make. she says, i've spoken to people from both sides of the spectrum, and the only way to stem the tide of violent disorder is to acknowledge what is causing it. and she says they're treating the symptom and not the cause. and she's saying people are worried about sovereignty. they're worried about british values and illegal immigration. and there's also legal immigration. she doesn't mention. but in that part. but this is the statement starmer needed to make . why is that so needed to make. why is that so hard to do? and the fact that she made it and then it was deleted and all these people criticised it. nazir afzal and charlotte nichols from labour. but actually this was the mature statement that starmer needed to step up and make, rather than the partisan statements he's been making that, in my opinion, have made things so much worse. >> well, exactly. >> well, exactly. >> i mean, this is almost a microcosm for the whole problem itself. the fact that saying this or trying to point to this or trying to solve the problem in this way, is so controversial and so unacceptable , is why the and so unacceptable, is why the problem is happening in the first place. it's because we can't have adult debate about this kind of thing, that everything gets swept under the carpet, and then the issue kind

of raises its head in these terrible ways. and so if you're serious about preventing this kind of terrible thing from happening , right, if we all want happening, right, if we all want the same thing, we all want to get along, have unity. so, you know , the answer is right there. know, the answer is right there. so actually deleting this or, you know, framing this as some kind of right wing rhetoric is just not it's irresponsible actually. and it's going to aggravate the situation. >> i mean, it sounds to me, damien, like you're advocating for the creation of some kind of i don't know , news channel where i don't know, news channel where we can have mature discussions about these things. i don't know if it'll ever take off. i newsnow nick and the bbc rushes into action over one of its presenters. >> so bbc removing huw edwards from family and entertainment content. i was just chuckling there because you said they finally rushed into action. yeah but this is the fact that huw edwards voice made an appearance in an episode of doctor who, which would be quite strange to hear now. it'd be like sort of jimmy savile popping up. you're like, it would. it would jar you out of the, take you out of this. it would compromise your suspension of disbelief. but this raises a strange question.

and he's also lost various plaques and he's had various things removed. an honorary plaque from cardiff castle and other things like that . and you other things like that. and you sort of ask the question, how do you. it was the same guy the whole time. we just didn't know what he was like because it was a strange sort of question. how do you go back in time and change this? we see it done with woke things like allo, allo is suddenly too controversial and episodes deleted and fawlty towers, and we laugh at it. but for this it feels more you appropriate. but it's still a kind of strange question. can you go back and actually fix it? of course, you can't just have these gestures. >> you'd have to delete most of bbc news. >> all the news is gone. >> all the news is gone. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> remember that stuff doesn't age well anyway. news i've found. >> well, yes, but it's in the archive. but i mean, yeah, this is , not really surprising, but is, not really surprising, but i mean, the whole, the whole, the whole kind of, phenomena of what's happened here with huw edwards is kind of wild. i mean, it's it seems to be on par with the other controversies that the bbc has had with this kind of thing in the past. and, and yet it's kind of getting kind of memory hold in a way, or

something already , i feel and something already, i feel and i remember, huw edwards saying, you make sure you check your sources that speech. and i think, well, maybe they should check who they're hiring a little bit more, do some, do some background checks, do some whatsapp checks. they're not checking that. i also thought maybe maybe instead of removing him from everything, they could probably maybe they could put him into , say, a documentary him into, say, a documentary about submarines that go missing or something. >> so some. okay. very well. i mean, this idea that i mean, they've known a while or they've known something was coming down the idea that they're now sort of scrambling around to do this. and i can't believe they're happy to let our children watch an episode of doctor who from 2016. and to hear his voice in the background, it's like what they're risking. yeah, you're going to have to delete that. it's just terrible stuff here. also, of course, they are talking about him returning. they can't do anything about his pension. they're saying. but what certain politicians lisa nandyis what certain politicians lisa nandy is saying that he ought to return his salary. and i just think it was quite funny, like this idea that, you know, he's , this idea that, you know, he's, he's he's a paedo. and the idea that he's now going to be shamed

into like, guys, if i return my salary, will you accept me again is ridiculous. >> hardest to go back to. before everyone knew this stuff . everyone knew this stuff. >> yeah, definitely give the salary back at the very least. >> yes. moving on to the times. and damien, is this labour banking on there being another covid. >> well, this is the end of the grey vote strategy i've got here. labour focus on the because they're hoping that everybody's going to. >> oh yes all the voters are going to go well they've decided to turn off the heating for granny basically they're switching it off. >> you know you're on your own. find a log of wood. put it. oh you can't do that anymore either , you can't do that anymore either, unfortunately. so god knows what they're going to do. >> and they could probably just rely on their millions that they have saved in housing. >> but well yeah, some people. so keir starmer and rachel reeves have won over almost every age group in the election, but they've realised that actually they've got a kind of booming support base in the kind of 30 to 49 range. so they don't really need the old people anymore to support them. so that's why they've kind of looted the winter fuel allowance

and 10 million pensioners will now no longer be eligible. and of course, you're right. a lot of course, you're right. a lot of people, it won't make any difference to them at all. but there is always that middle ground, more middle class. it's only about 2 million people. >> it's not a big deal. >> it's not a big deal. >> and they are going to get royally frozen out. it's i mean it's bizarre and immoral. not what we expected from labour. i wasn't expecting it myself, but, you know , keir stalin has had you know, keir stalin has had his way and they need your nicknames tonight. yeah, it's, you know, it's tough . it's, you you know, it's tough. it's, you know, some people are going to have to, you know , bite it. have to, you know, bite it. that's just the way. >> well, i mean, nick, there is a need arguably, to redress the balance between the wealth balance between the wealth balance that exists between the boomers and gen z. this is partly towards dealing with that. you don't think there is a wealth imbalance there? >> yeah. oh, yeah. i mean, look, i'm under 50. if starmer is going to finally do something for me, that would be great. i'm i'm sceptical. and what i'm going to get out of this. apparently 40% of every cohort between 18 and 50 voted for them. so. but they didn't know

what he was going to be like, of course, when it came to these riots, i mean, he's attacking as we already know, the british people. it's implied. anyway in the way he's treated this riot. he's destroying education. he's attacking private education, he's attacking landlords, making it impossible to evict people. and he apparently, according to a tweet by david foster, implied that he doesn't even really think there should be a tories. i don't think he even wants there to be an opposition. i think he wants a sort of maoist country. i think it's going to be horrific. keir stalin will become prescient, i think. i think he'll go down as one of the worst prime ministers, maybe one of the greatest villains in british history. that's stalin. >> okay. wow. you're saying you're so what? they're really also talking about is building houses. they're talking about the grey belt here, but i think they're taking it not literally, yeah. >> i mean, those things are great, right? i mean , building great, right? i mean, building houses and getting the country back, and you know, increasing spending and, you know, fixing the nhs. but, i mean, ijust i don't see it, unfortunately. i just don't see it happening. it becomes so cynical about the kind of uni party we have. i don't think there's a chance of that happening. so they'll take things away, just like the

tories would take things away with promises of, you know, things like money. but actually you just end up with just a race to the bottom. okay. >> interesting. right? nick telegraph next with the first part of fafo . part of fafo. >> well, yeah. well you'll, you'll know much more about this, but it's hezbollah launches 50 rockets at israel and this is the they say it's in response to israel's attacks on farkla. and dear syrian, i have noidea farkla. and dear syrian, i have no idea how to pronounce those. i'm afraid i did look them up and i still couldn't find out. and the idf said that it confirmed most of approximately 30 projectiles had been intercepted. then what happened to the other 20? and that's pretty much all i know because i don't really understand this whole region. you're the expert on this. so i'm just going to let other people. >> well, what about you, damien? i mean, the argument is that people are going, oh my god, there's going to be a war. there's been a war since october seventh. hezbollah have launched 7000 missiles towards israel . 7000 missiles towards israel. israel has no choice but to respond. right. >> well, that's i guess that's the problem is that's how escalation works. there is no choice but to respond. and, you know, i think the biggest problem here is the fact that

the kind of referee in all of this beau biden, you know, is he's too far gone to run for president and therefore must be too far gone to actually be president. and so there's no kind of like power leverage at play kind of like power leverage at play here. so the whole thing is kind of like highly unpredictable for that reason. i mean, if you don't have that kind of leadership in the united states, it's essentially a free for all. and you know, it is a it is a there is a huge risk of escalation. russia's sending weapons to iran. and, you know, if iran gets directly involved with israel, you know, the west will back them. and you only have a direct conflict between the west and iran. and then that could spiral off elsewhere. and we've already got a hot point in ukraine, too. so there is a risk of rapid escalation. and the question is whether this will be like the last near—miss we had with escalation in iran, or, and people will stand down or whether it just, you know, escalates infinitely into world war iii, which would be, you know, very convenient for the democrats. >> tune in tomorrow, everyone, to find out whether it's there

is a question, nick, you can answer here. i don't know if you read there was an article this weekend about the, the possibility we've been talking of a sales embargo of new weapons licenses. and it seems like there's been debate about whether, david lammy would put this through. they've kind of punted it now, but it turns out, actually, we have no new licenses are to be granted until this is resolved in a few months time. so at the moment, the uk is not selling, any weapons to one of our most staunch allies, israel, at the time when it arguably most needs it. israel, at the time when it arguably most needs it . surely arguably most needs it. surely that's wrong. >> yeah, i remember the lammy thing and it did sound wrong to me. i'm prepared to give you that one. but then everything david lammy does is wrong, so it's a no brainer. >> oh really ? okay, fine, we're >> oh really? okay, fine, we're at the halfway point, but coming up we've got punchy fetish to workday what combines the left

welcome back to headliners. and nick let's kick off with

monday's guardian. or should that be punch off. >> yes. good point. it's second boxer in gender row guaranteed olympic medal after feisty bout is what they're calling it. and this is lin yu ting of taiwan who's the second some would say biological male as well as the algerian who's been much discussed and lu lin yu ting won against svetlana stancheva . and against svetlana stancheva. and it was another kind of very one sided bout because of course, got the old advantages in the, in the chromosome afterwards, the one who lost it at x, meaning i've got x chromosomes because i'm a woman or could be a vampire. yeah. could have been kind of things. yeah, exactly. like in buffy. but, yeah, it's another i mean, you know , they another i mean, you know, they shouldn't be in the tournament. they're obviously going to win because they've got the biological advantage. it's not the same as them being trans, but it is. they're also two male to be in in the contest in my opinion, because i don't like to see women getting punched in the face by biological men. but, you know, that's me. you're crazy. crazy.

>> you're crazy. do you feel the same way, damian ? this has same way, damian? this has nothing to do with trans. but of course it is related to gender ideology. >> well, i mean, at first i'd like to know the actual truth because it comes down to the chromosome. at the end of the day, ultimately, what male and female and yes, there are deviations on chromosomes, but if we're just talking about biological sex, we need to know what the chromosomes are before we have any of these discussions whatsoever. and you just simply cannot find any, any good information on that . and of information on that. and of course, you had the iba who said that they had done these tests on, was it caliph and had found that, y had xy chromosomes that were making her born male ? but were making her born male? but of course, the iba have now been completely, discredited by the olympic committee and, and the media to of making out the ibo is totally corrupt. everything they say is lies. all their tests are nonsense . so, i mean, tests are nonsense. so, i mean, but we can't find any evidence that, that she's x either. so until i know that information, i'm just i cannot have an opinion on this because ultimately , what? ultimately, what? >> before this all kicked off,

though, nick, the fact is that they from that testing that happened last year , they were happened last year, they were disqualified. and at that time that was the evidence. was there the issues with the iba are financial, not necessarily to do with them just lying about a medical test. >> yeah. lie—in was banned like you say. like you say lie—in was banned due to, you know, failing both of them. failing the test. yeah. khalife was as well. so yes. and i agree. and to be honest, you can just use your eyes.i honest, you can just use your eyes. i mean, i didn't i knew about khalife. i didn't know about khalife. i didn't know about lie—in. i looked at a picture, i was like, yeah, i know what i think. >> so you're still calling her her him then? >> whatever. well, the only reason i'm confused on that. normally, if it's a trans thing, i'm just like, i don't go for it. but when it's when i'm a bit confused is when it's not actually a trans person . it's actually a trans person. it's just a biological quirk. then i don't always know what to say, but it definitely shouldn't be in the female box. i can say that. >> i think the thing that people find most confusing, damian, and maybe you correct me on this, is that intersex is a slight misnomer, and that's not what it's called anymore. it's a developmental disorder. so the idea is that you are they are

this is the idea that obviously, like you say, there is no direct evidence, but this is what the iba has said is that they have a disorder where their penis does not develop properly during the when they're in the, in the womb and yet they still have internal testes. and when they go through puberty they then go through a male puberty. >> yeah. and i don't understand why that that kind of testosterone advantage is permittable in a competitive sport, especially of all the sports you would have this happening, that it would be boxing. i mean, of all the sports, i mean, i could maybe understand it if it was, i don't know, shotput or swimming or something, but i, i mean, i don't actually understand that, but it's crazy that it's boxing of all the sports. well, that's the one where you might you run the one where you might you run the risk of having a, say, a biological man beating up a woman. i mean, it's just crazy. >> well, i if i'm honest, i prefer, men's boxing. and that looks like we're going to get in the female final daily mail next. damien. and someone inappropriate talking about underwear, which i would never do. of course, i'm not wearing any. >> this is the daily mail

transgender civil servant has sparked uproar after colleagues complained that she wears fetish gear , including fishnets, tight gear, including fishnets, tight low cut corsets and chokers into the office. now, this is a civil service department and people are getting a bit, annoyed that the sarosa amethea tweedel keeps coming in wearing essentially kind of sex party gear. yeah. >> what is it that's. sorry, low cut black corsets, fishnet tights, high heels , gothic tights, high heels, gothic choken tights, high heels, gothic choker. nick, on a saturday night , if you choker. nick, on a saturday night, if you click on the don't. >> i had a joke. i'm not even going to say because i get sued. but if you click on the photo, it's mental. i mean, it's not it's mental. i mean, it's not it's not in any way. >> you're not going to get sued for that. i wouldn't worry about it. >> the thing i was going to say, it's not in any way workplace attire for anyone. it's absolutely absurd. it's like you're thinking, oh, let's just check the photo. it's like, it's ridiculous. so, yeah, of course you can't go to office dressed like that . and there is, of like that. and there is, of course, this extra controversy with the trans movement that's so much of it does seem to be about fetishes rather than anything genuine. and this and

then they all sort of pentagram a joke with the pentagram, which is satanism, which i also object to in the workplace. but unless you're like working for the church of satan , go on. church of satan, go on. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, what's going on at the civil service? i mean, what why? >> this is it. this is what's going on. and this is the crazy thing. this person is actually providing the training to the rest of the civil service about these issues. now, a lot of the time, for the last couple of years, we've been talking about institutional capture and how it's a few people who have who have led to these policies been put in place in places like, you know, things like the nhs and the rest of the country and use it utilising language like, you know, breastfeeder as opposed to or, you know, as opposed to a woman or chest feeder, i should say. and whatnot. and then you find out that this is one of the people who is the driving forces behind this. and and you just suddenly see some incredible red flags in terms of how they feel. it's appropriate to address at work. and of course, as nick says here, damian , this seems says here, damian, this seems more like a fetish thing. this is more like transvestites. and the offensiveness is that this

is this person's idea of what it is this person's idea of what it is to be a woman is to dress up in this kind of gear. like that sums up femininity. >> well, yeah. i mean , i just >> well, yeah. i mean, i just don't understand it in a context of say, you know , dress code or of say, you know, dress code or anything like that. clearly they don't have a dress code, but i think you're right. i think it it points to the thing i was saying earlier on about, you know, how the public have had this top down, you know, cultural marxist identitarianism, intersectional identitarianism, intersectional identitarianism kind of thrust upon us from the institutions and from corporations without any discussion, without anybody being asked and like, oh, what's what's going on at the civil service? so people are going in wearing sex gear. you're like, well, well, no wonder, no wonder that's happening. and no wonder we're getting , you know, the we're getting, you know, the country's kind of like erupting into all kinds of chaos. not just what's happened recently, but in general. >> you almost said neo—marxist. postmodernism went well . postmodernism went well. >> yeah, they were sorry. >> yeah, they were sorry. >> would you say a well—placed source? funny phrase said at a stretch. it looks like goth gothic eveningwear. but it's really very strange. if you had a female member of staff coming

to work every day like that, you would have to have a conversation and it'd be quite a short one. it'd be like, stop wearing that. >> yeah, exactly. well, they were approached, repeatedly approached for comment, but they were too busy with, pvc cleaner. that's me. i'd write that as a joke. that's not true. don't sue us, nick. the metro has an interesting piece on where not to go with my daughter on houday. holiday. >> it's. we live in the toughest places to be a girl in the uk right now. this is what it's like. and they mean blackpool, which is near where i'm from. and it's sad to see blackpool has fallen so low. the story is a bit of a weird non—story, but it somehow andrew tate is blamed on the second page, which is extraordinary because it's really nothing to do with that. it's to do with there's crime because the country is falling apart. there's the london centric economy. so there's no opportunity. and that's blackpool basically. i mean, it's kind of always been blackpool, but now it's even worse. but i don't quite understand why. >> so i think this article is almost genius. like will be held up in 20 to 30 years as a prime example of what you were talking about earlier, about gaslighting, because you have this article that starts with

some terrible statistics about crime in blackpool, how it's one of the most dangerous major towns in in lancashire. and talking about these young teenage girls and how the and the various , tactics that they the various, tactics that they have to use to get home safely from my imagining sexual violence, the threat of sexual violence, the threat of sexual violence, whatever. and then it just goes into everything else and doesn't mention one factor here, like talks about andrew tate. it talks about mental. no, that's what i'm saying. it talks about mental health. it talks about mental health. it talks about social media. >> it talks about women being. >> it talks about women being. >> but it doesn't mention one glaring omission here. >> yeah. no, i mean itv recently did a street documentary about a woman just trying to walk down the street and literally couldn't because she was just constantly catcalling. she was so fitly approached and that was a joke. >> the english man. >> the english man. >> and, yeah, i mean, they're blaming it on on andrew tate and toxic masculinity, but i mean, again, it's not going to get you far enough. and i mean, yeah,

they're right, though. it is . it they're right, though. it is. it is getting worse and worse for women in this country. absolutely. it's getting worse for everybody, actually. i mean, i've just had to move out of london because i just i couldn't deal with the constant, the wolf whistling, not just around me, but, that too. and just, you know, again, i could, i could list endless amounts of crimes i've witnessed to the point where it's like, i wouldn't i couldn't raise a child in that situation. >> and what's particularly appalling for women, you've seen women like alex phillips and charlotte gill go viral online, pointing out how much men are harassing them, and then they get shouted down by kind of centrist dad midwich saying, oh, you're sort of implying they're just racist. they're just talking about their real experience. it's men from cultures which don't have the same attitudes towards women that we have in a liberal democracy. >> you've just joined the far right by saying that. but it's not just it's not just that. >> it's what happens before and that. so it, you know, again, you could say it's getting worse, but it's like what was there before is still there. and

now you have that too. yes. but so that's the point. and also they talk about girls not getting into stem subjects, but of course they have themselves reported that it's actually, you know, it's boys who are falling behind terribly. and, you know, 54% of women getting into university versus 40% of men. so it's terrible for both men and women in different ways . yeah. women in different ways. yeah. >> and they also yeah, they talk about deprivation and the impact that has on people's long, you know, their life expectancy and whatnot. but like they the way they mentioned about women is like they don't mention exactly the same statistics that will exist for men as well, growing up in deprivation and stuff. so anyway, the article i found, like i say, astounding. i believe it will be a museum piece in 2030 years time. birthday party news in the metro. to finish the section, let's go now to our child birthday party correspondent nick bobo dixon. >> oh, yeah, well, it's mum outraged as she's asked to pay £42 fee for kids to attend birthday party. this is outrageous. i mean, it was £21

each for each of her children. and then there was a list of present requests that cost between 30 and £40. and she suddenly realised she was being taken advantage of because she herself had put on quite lavish, expensive birthday parties. so they'd gone , hang on, she's they'd gone, hang on, she's a mark. we'll make her pay. and there's this absurd bit here where people say, some said, why can't they just have a cake and traditional games? but on mumsnet, inevitably a few were quick to reply. they wouldn't want a bunch of other people's children causing chaos in their home aka a children's birthday party. i mean , when i grew up, party. i mean, when i grew up, call me old fashioned. josh, you've got a bit of cake in a party bag, some other bits of rubbish, and you did some games and shouted a bit and went home. that was a children's party and it was very cheap. it cost like £10. >> this story is astounding me but i actually worked this out. ispent but i actually worked this out. i spent £300 a yearjust on i spent £300 a year just on birthday cards, and now i very much encourage my children not to make any friends. much encourage my children not to make any friends . we're going to make any friends. we're going to make any friends. we're going to have to go to the interval, just the final section. go which will be, one your favourites here. big willie's wedding, dodgers or slappers.

welcome back to headline. its straight into monday's metro, damian, where i've never related so much to a story before. >> yeah, well this is about a this is from the metro . pole this is from the metro. pole vaulters. pole vaulters. olympic dream was shattered by his own penis. >> we've all been there. >> we've all been there. >> he didn't shatter his penis to just be clear, a french pole vaulter . anthony ammirati saw vaulter. anthony ammirati saw his olympic dream go up in smoke after unfortunate circumstances where his penis clipped the bar as he was pole vaulting over it because it was such a. basically, yes, a vast. >> i think we're allowed to say that i'm not. hopefully we're allowed to do yiddish. >> depends if they can. >> depends if they can. >> yiddish words, we call it chode. >> well, that's a small. that's a small. okay. well, anyway, he was doing the pole vault and he tried to get over it. and his mandible penis caught the bar. it was a good thing he wasn't doing hurdles, because that would have been incredibly painful. >> yeah. and a quick sporting question purely, do we know if he actually reached the semi or. oh, hello. >> look at this in the final section. just coming in with the gags. >> pure sporting question . and i

>> pure sporting question. and i did see the video, by the way. i didn't seek it out but it kept popping up didn't seek it out but it kept popping up on my twitter. he says a strange thing. he says the strange algorithms you have. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> no, it's the other stuff i've been looking at for so many years, he said. today i missed my competition. i knew that this qualification was going to be tough, and now i'm taking it in the face. is that he thinks it's better him than me. >> i wonder if i wonder if the olympic committee have decided on his gender yet. oh well. exactly. yes. competing. that was. we are talking about the female pole vault. of course. he's a. yeah. >> anyway it's on pornhub now so you can go and watch it. yeah. >> exactly. and you know what? he's in my eyes. he's still a winner. >> and i've got it bookmarked on twitter. very good. >> independent. next nick who continue their campaign to destroy western civilisation. >> well , that sounds like the >> well, that sounds like the kind of thing i would say, but i know that's why i wrote it for you. >> that's why i thought i'd give you the lead in. >> it's. our wedding's on the way out. my fiance and i dodged it with no regrets. and this is lucy thackeray, who has a bit of a think piece about. hey look, we're together. we're having kids. we got together. i was 37. he was 41. so we're a bit late

doing it . and so we can't really doing it. and so we can't really be bothered with marriage because it's going to cost us 20 k. it's like, no, no, that's the wedding day. nonsense. you can still go to the church. >> well, i think that's what they are saying. they are going to get married there though, aren't they. but they're basically saying i didn't realise that. yeah. >> but, you know, she's talking about it's going to be too expensive. just get married because it's about the commitment before god. it's not about this, the posh wedding day, but it's like you already said, it's the decline of the culture. too much choice. >> well, damien, what about doing a birthday party slash children's birthday party slash wedding day? >> do them all in one. i mean, you could do your birthday. you could do the. you could do your baby gender reveal. you could do your funeral all in one. but if you're going to skip something, maybe skip the funeral. that's so depressing. you know? yes. skipping weddings. yeah, but. >> but for everybody else, aren't they? that's the thing about funerals. they're good, fun funerals people. >> yeah. i mean, weddings cost millions of pounds now, so just just, you know, do it, do it. just do a free one. >> so the death of love. go to the park. yeah. exactly, son. now, damien, this sounds , like now, damien, this sounds, like they're using the cause as the cure , cure, >> yeah. this is from the sun inside. dangerous fake slapping therapy where vulnerable followers smack themselves and

others to cure deadly illnesses . others to cure deadly illnesses. stupidity? yeah. i mean, this is a kind of cult, alternative medicine called paida . lie—in. medicine called paida. lie—in. the content sounds legit. >> now . >> now. >> now. >> yeah. basically, you just slap yourself , or you slap slap yourself, or you slap somebody else and you slap out the toxins through the skin. >> could you show us a demonstration with nick here. >> he >> he doesn't >> he doesn't he >> he doesn't he don't >> he doesn't he don't like >> he doesn't he don't like to be touched, so i won't. >> oh, yes. yeah, he likes to be slapped, though. >> we're already in litigation against damien. yeah, for the last time, he tried it. but i do think you know, i'm open to this. you know, woke people could try it. >> i mean, i'm not saying you open this for everyone else, but not yourself. >> yeah, i'm just saying, you know, slapping could work. i don't know, i'm just tiptoeing around what i'm allowed to say because there's a lot of talk about incitement to violence lately, so not to incite anyone to slap anyone. of course, but does anyone do you have any idea of how this thing actually works? >> you slap people? no. but why doesit >> you slap people? no. but why does it work then? >> it doesn't work. >> it doesn't work. >> are you sure? >> are you sure? >> it definitely doesn't work because people are dying . because people are dying. >> so we know that people anecdotally saying, oh, i
