adam coombes and nick dixon. you like that link, guys.7 no. two hours. >> what is the. why, the organ grinder? >> well, we're like the monkeys with the organ grinder and we're taking the newspapers and we're mashing it all up together. i just i was just this show has been going for nearly three years. i'm running out of links. you're quite tired today, weren't you? it was. it's a monkey. >> that's good. good stuff. >> that's good. good stuff. >> thank you. well, well, i call myself a monkey as well anyway. how are you both? >> very good, very good. >> very good, very good. >> apart from being called monkey. >> yeah. very good. thank you. josh, yourself. >> well, thank you so much. trying to get the hosting role right. that's i'm not. let's have a quick look at what's going on with friday's front pages. the telegraph prisoners could serve their time in estonia. the express . we're not estonia. the express. we're not greedy. britain's elderly will do a deal on fuel support. thanks, guys. daily mail. rwanda's back, but it's germany's planning to use it. guardian. no justice for the grenfell tragedy until next decade. the i brexit food rules set for delay to avoid price

rises at supermarkets. and finally, the daily star. mad vlad had spy whale whacked and those were front pages . adam, those were front pages. adam, first of all, let's look at the daily mail and a very original idea here. this is a keeper. >> oh, yeah, it's great. >> oh, yeah, it's great. >> i don't know where they came up with it. >> i don't know either. so, yeah, this is the story from the daily mail. rwanda is back, but it's germany planning to use it and they want to put migrants in facilities. britain paid for. so yeah this is basically a story about labour facing embarrassment last night after a german after germany, proposed sending illegal immigrants to facilities in rwanda paid for by the british taxpayer. so this is a beautifully ironic story. i think, obviously, as we all know , think, obviously, as we all know, the great scheme for rwanda, people criticising it, people , people criticising it, people, you know, nothing really happening. and now germany is sort of coming in. you've got the migration, the german migration commissioner going, oh, this is wonderful. we've got all the infrastructure. you know, we all paid for 700

million. >> nick. we ain't getting that money back. i know, isn't it? >> just like the sunbeds, the germans just like over there nicking it, you know what i mean? it's their towel. yeah. we've got all the facilities out there. they're like, oh, we will have this now. that's how they talk. yes yeah, but it's not quite the same because we already we've already been out there doing it. it's annoying. yeah. 700 million for nothing. and they've just nabbed the idea. we should start sending people to germany is my idea. think about it. they send everyone through and we send them to germany. >> cycle of life, cycle of life. >> cycle of life, cycle of life. >> circle of life. >> circle of life. >> elton john, is there going to be an issue though, adam? because of course, the reason, part of the reason why it never really didn't take off here was the courts, the quality of human rights commission won't germany have exactly the same problems? >> no. so this is there was there was a story saying they're actually going to work with the they're actually going to work with, rather than against some of the, legislations that we had previously. so we're going to basically they're basically going to, not sort of like do what we like, what we did. so in terms of like, yeah, pushing against the grain, they're not

going to be doing that. >> the great thing about germany is that they're more relaxed about human rights quite often, yeah. well, as it says in the times, actually, the central contradiction is claiming that rwanda is a deterrent, using it as a deterrent, but also claiming it's safe. that's the great fun about this, isn't it? >> it was interesting that because this has obviously been in the news for years, but to see it so succinctly, finally, that that's what you're right. i did it exactly the same thing. i highlighted it like this is expressed in exactly the clear way. how on earth is it going to be a deterrent? whilst also it's a great place to go to. >> yeah, i like the idea that rwanda has actually said, you know, they're not going to give us any of our money back for the 700 million we've paid. so no take taxis, fair do's. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, james cleverly actually says he wants to bring back the rwanda plan. >> so i mean, hopefully the tories win get in cleverly wins reinstates it before germany do any of this. luckily germans aren't known for their efficiency, so it'll be fine. >> well, we'll see, we'll see how it works out. what, nick,

what are the daily telegraph going with them? well, they've got prisoners. >> could serve their time in estonia. so this is a kind of a fun game with everyone sending people to different countries. so we could send people to estonia . this could be so great. estonia. this could be so great. josh, you could do a bad tweet on monday and be in estonia by wednesday because there was that funny story that starmer was going to detain people in the falklands. and i was like, this isn't true. i better not tweet this like i saw it and it took me three seconds to google three seconds. elon musk didn't have because he retweeted it. and but then if you were going to send people to estonia, it's not that different, is it? >> you think estonia is a great country, great country, great people. >> and the thing is, they have very low crime. i mean, can't think why, probably not their immigration policy, but they got they got their prisons empty. yeah. because they're such a safe country. so i know let's ruin that country with our worst people and send them. >> i guess it would be consensual. hopefully >> but yeah, but adam, the ironic thing here is, of course, that it's it is cheaper to house, even if they put a premium on the prisoners, it costs less to house a prisoner in estonia. yeah. than it would

to house them here. and especially if you factor in the price is £600,000 per prisoner to build a new prison. yes. so i mean, are we going to outsource everything? >> i mean, i mean, i think that's pretty much the, the ethos for the uk. i think we don't like doing anything in house. we like to get everything else cheap and from abroad. and that's the reason why a lot of our essential services like the, you know, our oil and gas, electricity, water works, everything's, you know, ruined. so i think that's a great british tradition is to get other people to do the dirty work, get other people to do it. >> well, see, i mean, no, it doesn't mention it in this article, nick, but surely there would be issues with, prisoners, claiming that their human rights are not, you know, they wouldn't be able to get visitors and whatnot. so is it is it human rights there? >> the problem with everything we need to scrap these human rights, get out of the echr, get rid of all that stuff. although if it's people who've just tweeted that starmer hates, obviously i want their human rights. but if it's actual prisoners, people you like and agree with, yes, you're right. same as starmer, same as his tactic. people he likes. they're

great neil. people he hates, they're thugs, murderers. i've got a similar system me described modern politics. >> yeah, right. let's go on to the guardian. adam >> yes. so this is the guardian. this is the unfortunate, news that says no justice for the grenfell tragedy until next decade. so this is basically the justice for the 72 deaths in the grenfell tower may not come before the end of this decade, and this is due to the public inquiry findings. they're saying this is because of systemic dishonesty. and it was actually lord macdonald who's warning that this could take a dozen years at least a dozen years after the disaster, before anyone is punished based on the metropolitan police's report. so very tragic, you know, and obviously, this is there's also a conversation in the news that we've still got thousands of housing establishments covered in this cladding. i've been personally one of these people, all covered in cladding right now, covered in cladding right now. but where i, where i live, my building apartment block is actually covered in the same cladding and they've only recently just finished taking the cladding off. so, you know, i've personally been affected by this. >> did you have to pay for it or was it part of the government?

it was. >> well, it was partly subsidised. but also my service charge did go up and we did have for quite a big period during covid. we had to have round the clock fire marshal. so our service charge went through the roof. so we did i did feel it financially. yeah. >> so what do you think about this, nick? i mean, their argument is that the police need to have the necessary time, 12 to have the necessary time, 12 to 18 months with the findings of the inquiry before they can then proceed to charges. right. so isn't it better that they get it right than do it quick or is it right than do it quick or is it that they should put more resources into it to allow people, if they have been found guilty to you know, serve, serve time? >> yeah, i don't necessarily have the answer to that. i mean, it's amazing how long it's been already, isn't it? seven years. but obviously you want to get it right. i'm just stunned by it still, because there was a fire in my block the other night, the next block for me, i was coming back after football, and now they send out eight fire engines. apparently that's standard for these big blocks. we've got sprinklers in there. they're like totally self—contained. and it makes you

think, wow. i mean, it's so good. now the response how poor the grenfell was. it's kind of unbelievable to think about. yeah apparently the smoke will often kill you. first of all the fire. yeah. >> yeah there's a lot of was nice enough to tell me. >> so i put my alarm, i put my battery back in my smoke alarm, which i had taken out. oh, yeah. definitely. >> thanks, guys. look at you both making it about you. >> well, well, well, i just i just mean, it's shocking that grenfell, when you see how what the standard should be. >> yeah. yeah yeah of course. absolutely, a few more before we get on. sorry. i just want to quickly talk here about macron defies quickly talk here about macron defies the left by making barnier pm. so, france has had this you know, they've had their elections and they've arguably not gone through the democratic process because it's taken them this long to actually finally get a pm. and it's not who the left. you know, they were the ones who were voted in. so obviously they're complaining about it. >> yeah. i didn't know we were doing this. so but yeah that is a shocking story. we see similar things in germany. we see in france the attempt to keep out national rally. there's clearly a move to the right across

europe, and there's clearly a move from the establishment to block it in any way. >> they but this is blocking the left though. interesting. >> oh yeah. then yeah. this is blocking the left. but that's they initially blocked the right in there with the 200 resignations. now they had the lefty nutters like oh not him ehhen lefty nutters like oh not him either. so it's a return. yeah. it's blocking both to get back to the liberal managerial and finally nick very quickly what's daily star going with. well very important story. mad vlad had spy important story. mad vlad had spy whale whacked in the gangster sense. this is vengeful mad vlad putin is behind the shooting of a friendly beluga spy shooting of a friendly beluga spy whale called vladimir with an h. weirdly, that defected to norway, claims a retired united states admiral. hard to add anything to that, but he was killed and putin's denied it. but it was done with a poisoning in salisbury. so some people think it was putin, right? >> yeah. i mean, adam, is there no evil this man won't do now? >> no. >> no. >> absolutely not. and i mean, the thing is that probably greta would actually, you know, she's probably on his side. >> yeah, i think greta likes dolphins, but, yeah, in this case, maybe not. yeah. >> we don't know where her politics lie at the moment. i

don't know why i brought her up, to be honest. single use plastic. she's not. she's not really. she's not really all about the whales, is she? i just was i was free associated. >> well, this is a dolphin, but yeah, i agree. >> that's a whale. it's a it's a beluga. whales, a whale. if you're going to come on this show, could you please be professional and get your mammals? i don't know a lot. now it's dead. but whales, in my view, are whales. that's one of my strong stances. but beluga whales do look like dolphins. and if you just glance at the picture and, for example, didn't the story, we have got the most controversial opinions here going on,

at. welcome back to headliners. your first look at friday's newspapers with ostracised comedians myself, josh howie, adam gomez and nick dixon . adam, adam gomez and nick dixon. adam, let's get things started with friday's sun. and when is putin getting the nobel peace prize? oh, tomorrow, i think. >> no. so this is from the sun, the headline reads desperate

putin admits russia is ready for peace talks as thousands of ukrainian troops still hold occupied kursk. so yeah, this this is a very interesting news story because it comes weeks after the successful sort of invasion from ukraine actually taking over sort of russian territory. i think it was 500mi2. i think it's some of the most amount of land that russia has lost since the second world war. so it's a huge victory from ukraine and also changed the sort of the stance of the war a little bit. so people are more rather rather than ukraine defending itself. everyone's saying, oh, they've actually gained some land. and now it seems to be, putin is now just sort of saying, oh, you know, if they want to carry on with negotiations, we can do that. >> guys, we were just kidding. >> guys, we were just kidding. >> we were just kidding. yeah. >> we were just kidding. yeah. >> very convenient. >> very convenient. >> i mean, nick, there seems to be some evidence, of course, that the. yes, like, you know, adam saying the counter invasion has worked. do you think putin is being serious here? >> absolutely. i always take everything putin says at face value. that's the great thing about me , about me, >> you get you get paid accordingly, right? yeah. >> of course i've got a great

deal >> of course i've got a great deal, that's a joke, by the way. just before we have to say this. now. yeah, you know what i mean. >> was it a joke? i didn't if i would never knowingly take rmt money unless it was, like, loads. >> we'll get to that story in a bit, right? >> unless it was so. yeah, but putin said if there is a desire of ukraine to carry on with the negotiations, i can do that. but doesn't he always just say stuff like that? he just always says that he's open to negotiation. he always pretends to be totally open to negotiation, then drops more bombs. so i don't really believe anything he says here. i'm sort of interested to see what happens if trump gets in, because trump apparently has a plan to end it immediately. apparently it does involve ukraine ceding some territory, although orban seems to think it just involves telling the eu to pay just involves telling the eu to pay more and then they can't afford it. so i'm not i'm not totally sure. i actually spoke totally sure. i actually spoke to a ukrainian guy who was over because his wife and, kids were in london, so he had to come over and to see them. and he was in our football team. he said that he believes trump would pause the war but not end it. he believes the key to winning it is just drones. apparently you just need they just need to improve their drone technology. yeah, but he thinks it can be gone. >> no, i was just saying no, no

i agree. sorry. it's just that the problem is there's a sort of drone and arms race. is that the ukrainians have been incredibly innovative with their drone warfare. but then russia sort of manages to catch them up as as long as we continue to profit from these drones and the chips and everything. >> i'm happy. >> i'm happy. >> okay, great. thank you so much that we should point out, was a joke. no, that was a joke. that was a joke. well, we'll see. look, the point is, look, if it is peace, that would be amazing. yeah, and, but but we're not after he killed that whale. >> i'm not. i don't trust putin. >> i'm not. i don't trust putin. >> which i now know is not a dolphin for you. >> that was the last straw, wasn't it? you're like, this guy actually is a bad guy. yeah. okay. daily mail next. adam and the home office lives to not do its job another day. >> yes. this is from the mail, afghan asylum seeker, 19, posed as a child before murdering aspiring marine. but the home office is spared inquests into how violent killer was allowed to come to britain. so this is this sort of like, i don't know , this sort of like, i don't know, depressing. bingo. i guess it's got all the sort of key areas . got all the sort of key areas. you've got asylum seekers who abuse it, who are not really asylum seekers. you've got, you

know, 19 year olds pretending to be 14 year olds. you've got a child who's been murdered. it's got all the horrible traits there, this is i mean, this is a very sad story. and unfortunately, this does actually sort of show a systemic failures from the home office. and i don't usually like the word systemic because i think it's been thrown around too much. but this is genuinely a good example of it. you've got this, this, this guy abdul rahman, 19, who actually already murdered two people in serbia before a red flag for me, a bit of a red flag, yes. but also, you know, if they're not going to do any checks, you actually had, one of his previous foster parents suggesting, by the way, this person isn't who they say they are. the dentist has sort of confirmed records were older than him, actually being 14. he was literally carrying, caught carrying a machete two days before he murdered, tom roberts , before he murdered, tom roberts, unfortunately. so this is just everything. all the warning signs were shown and everybody at every, you know, from, the police to social workers to the

home office, everybody failed . home office, everybody failed. >> so this is it. exactly right. but nick, as adam says, systemic failure. so why on earth is it not being properly examined ? not being properly examined? that's what doesn't make sense here. why is the judge in this inquest said, oh, you know what. yeah, things happen. but we don't need to have like an inquiry into it. that's ridiculous. i know i'm yet to understand that as well. >> i just thought when i read this, we just don't have a country anymore. and then the mother said the exact same thing. everything is wrong in this country. and it will continue to happen again. of course it will happen again. the idea that he was stopped for carrying a machete, and that he was flagged as susceptible to terrorism by prevent in 2021. >> okay, but but there are lots of failures of like the police and social services and whatnot. but the home office failures in terms of just no age assessment was carried out. >> but that is the home office as well. home offices. >> that was later on. but like the fact when he arrived and he said, i'm 13 but no age assessment, then he then he was 19. >> i mean, how do you even get that wrong? yeah. >> and then the fingerprints were sent to the countries, but there was no request actually to

follow it up. yeah, then the foster parents, like, say, the dentist, like every single step here. yeah, it was just there was just massive failures. but going back to the home office, if we're not, if the people who are coming over and these claims aren't properly examined, then this will happen again, right? yeah. >> 100% competency crisis. so at the same time we have an immigration crisis. we have a crime crisis. we have a competency crisis across all areas. this is what happens in a collapsing. >> it would have just taken one of these people to do their jobs correctly, to avoid this. yeah. >> but going back to the source and with the home office, i mean, that's tragedies happen. yeah. and this is a tragedy. but the fact that they seem so determined to not learn the lessons, yes, that has got to be doubly painful, 100% disgusting. right. nick? the guardian now and moves are afoot. so we might better pretend that the system is fair . is fair. >> yeah. this is ministers introduce plans to remove all hereditary peers from lords. so there were 92 left after blair's purge, there were still 92 left.

and of course, just side note , and of course, just side note, only two are labour peers. just want to throw that in and 42 conservatives. >> so that's strange. so same rich people tend to be. >> well i'm saying that it's interesting that labour want to purge tories. oh i see yeah. yeah. just just an interesting little point. >> three lib dems as well. be fair. >> there's a few there's a few lib dems isn't there. there's three. yeah you're right. and 28 crossbenchers. so i disagree with this kind of thing. i'll tell you why. it's the chesterton's fence principle that presumably there was a 700 year old. right? the hereditary lords. we don't know what taking that away does. i don't like this vandalism of the left. tony blairjust. he did an interview with the bbc the other day. he said, look at all the things we did. devolution. mayor of london i'm like, anything good, tony, are just awful things. so they. so you might say i'm defending it on principle, which i am . it on principle, which i am. they're the opposite. they attack it on principle. they see attack it on principle. they see a tradition and say, oh, we'll tearit a tradition and say, oh, we'll tear it down. so i'm against it. on those grounds. obviously it's nepotistic. and in that sense you could argue it's silly, but i'm just i'm always suspicious

of this. labour need to just tackle everything they say. it's indefensible. that's the tactic. that's the blairite rhetoric. you just act as if it's been decided. >> it sounds like you're saying that the reason it's bad is it's coming from labour. >> but adam, well, farage is also against it, to be fair. >> yeah. so, i mean, it is an unfair system. we are, i think the one country, there's one other country in the whole world that has a system like this and, and for people like who supported brexit, the whole idea behind brexit was surely that people that we didn't directly elect had this impact on our lives. well, that's what we've got here. yeah, it's just unfair. >> yeah, absolutely. and i think it's worth mentioning as well this is sort of this, this, this ruling is sort of almost 25 years in the making. this originally was sort of started out by blair's government in 1999, i think personally, i don't mind this. i think this is probably a good thing. but i think typically, at least in the circles i'm in, you hear a lot of people saying, oh, we shouldn't have the royal family. we should, you know, because they're not voted in. i, i, i'm

quite a big supporter of the royal family, i think. let them have it. you know, it's nice to have it. you know, it's nice to have a royal family, but maybe people as we do in the house of commons, people in the lords should be elected. i think one other thing i didn't like from the from in this article, maybe it was just stuck in because it was the guardian. they were they also pointed out that all the lords, these guys were all old white men. >> i think all of us have served. >> i've circled that and i didn't get on to that. yeah. and the thing is, it's not the fact that it's just white men. >> it'sjust that it's just white men. >> it's just the fact that, look, mate, they are all white men. who cares? but also, it shouldn't be about that. it's the fact that their hereditary peers. and that's the unfair thing. don't if it was all sort of like, culturally diverse people, would that make it better? no, it wouldn't, so it's irrelevant. >> i know it was. >> i know it was. >> imagine if the telegraph goes and by the way, they're all black. yeah. it's like it's unheard of. yeah. >> criticise him for being, you know, nepotism rather than being a system that comes from 700 years ago where guess what those people happen to be white, right? >> adam, when it comes to laboun >> adam, when it comes to labour, is the telegraph over utilising the phrase two tier? >> yes. so this is , the, the >> yes. so this is, the, the sort of the headline reads

rayner's workers rights overhaul will create a two tier jobs market. so angela rayner plans to overhaul workers rights, creating a two tier job market, condemning younger employees to years of temporary contracts. economists have warned, so this is basically, reign is basically sort of saying we're going to try and strengthen some of the rights for workers for all workers. but there has been criticism saying this will, this risks employers will increasingly turn to temporary contracts, reducing the risk of being permanently stuck with unsatisfactory staff. but here's my take on it. and maybe this is probably gonna be different from other take go. and i think this is a good thing. i don't think everybody should get mediocre rights and i don't think, you know, i think if it's an increase in temporary contracts, that's fine, because if you're genuinely a good employee, the companies want to keep you around. and if you're rubbish, they probably won't. so i personally think i'd rather have a better rights for the people who are good, rather than just have mediocre rights for everyone. interesting. yeah. >> what are you. it's an interesting idea. i mean, nick, there are always going to be unintended consequences, when

introducing new legislation. and this could be one of those, as they're rightly pointing out. and it seems to have happened in other countries where they have made it harder for companies to fire people. that means they're less likely to want to hire people. >> yes. and then you get temporary contracts. then they need new regulations about those. so then you overregulate it again. it begets more regulation. i'm against all this regulation. i'm against all this regulation. we're known for our entrepreneurial spirit. we need to free that up. we need to stop all this red tape. and it's just like the minimum wage. you bring in all these very high minimum wages, people just won't hire people. yeah. >> and they said that when they brought on the minimum wage back then, then people did well. >> but they. yeah. but there's still arguments against it. i'm against all of it. but then, you know, i'm, i mean i do this job know, i'm, i mean i do thisjob which is basically showbiz or self employed, both of which have no right to nothing. so i always find these stories slightly. it's like especially the wild west. >> what about the third tier where literally part of the gig economy, right. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we're halfway and as always, we've held back some great stuff for you. who's warning england

fans? and what's the

welcome back to headliners nick. let's get straight into friday's guardian. and how much were you offered? >> not enough. josh, it's us conservative influencers say they are victims of russian disinformation campaign. so this was a number of people tim pool, dave rubin, benny johnson and they say they're victims of this. they didn't know that there was this company provided nearly $10 million from russian state media to publish videos and messages in favour of moscow's interests, including about the war in ukraine. and the description that has not been revealed exactly matches tennant media and tim. they've all issued statements in fact, saying they had no knowledge of this and in fact, the attorney general, merrick garland, says the same. he says the company never disclosed to the influencers or to their millions of followers its ties to rt and the russian government. so it does seem they were duped and i certainly believe that tim pool

was an incredibly successful show. he seems a very straight shooter, very patriotic. there's no way he'd destroy his reputation by just taking some russian money. same with dave rubin , who i've met. rubin, who i've met. >> and we're talking millions of dollars here. >> yeah, but i don't believe for a second they knew. >> and actually, if someone gives you millions of dollars, don't you? wouldn't you say, where is this coming from? >> well, there's a separate question about whether whether you should have known more about it. the tim pool one is a separate show. he obviously doesn't oversee as much. and yet there's this that's a secondary question of negligence versus deliberately taking the money, which i don't believe they did and which, which the justice department doesn't believe either , though there is an either, though there is an interesting sort of irony that this makes it very hard now to say, because we know there's been russia hoaxes before from the democrats, but this makes it harder for conservatives to say, well, there's no such thing as russian disinformation and russian disinformation and russian influence because they're obviously claiming, no, they're obviously claiming, no, they got duped by russian influence. so maybe it's a double bluff by the deep state or the democrats to maybe they planted the whole thing. well, that's actually an interesting idea because, we know that china and russia are investing billions in this stuff, but it's

not necessarily to, sell their narrative, even though some of these people like that's exactly what they did. >> but it's more to just totally confuse the narrative, to make it everything obtuse that no one knows what what is real and what isn't. yeah. so that's what. and that's that's what has worked arguably the lack of trust. now only us. but everybody else of course, is there's just no trust anymore. and they're obviously hoping that that's. yeah. absolutely. >> you don't know who to trust. i mean they've hit us right in the independent media here. you know i think you tim paul and benny johnson are the two people i'm familiar with. i mean, benny johnson just kind of does memes. i don't think he actually does anything very important. but yeah, it's one of those things where like now that they've had that aspersion cast upon them, you just kind of go, well, who can you trust? and i mean, they've all tweeted saying they're victims. so i guess they've they've probably done some research after the fact and thought there could be some credibility to these accusations. >> they sort of went out to their sports cars, had a little drive around. and i think i think temple skate. >> so he's a bit of a cool dude.

>> he's a cool dude with his very expensive gold plated beanie skates. i don't know, i just think that if you're getting millions of dollars, surely at some point you would go, well, that's the price. but like maybe where did this come from? the thing, of course, that, this is an influence on the right, as we know with influence on the left, you don't actually, russia didn't need to give them a penny. >> no, they're doing it themselves. >> did it? yeah. yeah, right. >> did it? yeah. yeah, right. >> friday's telegraph next. and who's been threatening with a kneecapping. adam. >> yeah. so this is from the telegraph . england fans told to telegraph. england fans told to respect irish culture amid fears of no surrender to the ira. chants so yeah, this is this is very interesting, basically , very interesting, basically, engush very interesting, basically, english fans have been to told, not say certain chants, but what was really interesting about the story is sources have told the telegraph that the support authorities on both sides of the irish sea avoided asking fans not to sing specific chants amid fears doing so would have the opposite effect. they know football fans, as soon as they're told not to say something, they're going to be saying it exactly. the same, the to be honest, this is a bit of

a, in my opinion, a bit of a non—story , purely because it's non—story, purely because it's just like england fans, they're always going to be chanting horrible things. and, i mean, respecting local culture. sure >> just but but it is what what about our culture, which is football chants. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> offensive football chants . >> offensive football chants. yes. this is what this is what this is. this is our greatest export. >> yeah. i'm more comfortable attacking germany than ireland because i'm still slightly scared of sort of ireland situation. >> but in general, this is this is this attack by the total state, the liberal managerial state, the liberal managerial state trying to attack football, trying to attack the working class, attack patriotism. i mean, look at this absurd sentence. it's talking about supporters that mocked german second world war casualties at the european championships. is that what they did? they mocked the casualties. >> we know that german bombers in the air or two world wars and one world cup. >> it's not really mocking casualties, is it? it's just so broad and it's silly. it's obviously a joke. >> it isn't bombers in the air to do with dresden. and wasn't that. >> oh yeah. yeah, but but but

mocking german casualties. that's just a, that's such a bizarrely serious way to take a football chant, isn't it? >> well, this whole article feels weird. >> it feels like it's in the telegraph, and it feels like they'd much prefer to be writing about cricket. >> yes, it was very it was very crowbarred in. >> it was very, very odd article, yeah. >> i like also this idea. they've been urged to drink responsibly, responsibly and respect local culture. and that for me, that's that's a contradiction. >> football fans will only if they're in ireland. >> they need to drink irresponsibly to have a guinness. >> guinness is great over there. >> guinness is great over there. >> it's so depressing. it's so indicative of starmer's. england isn't it? all fun is banned. all patriotism is banned . english patriotism is banned. english people are banned. >> footballs. >> footballs. >> footballs. >> footballs are allowed because he happens to like has this come from starmer or is it just is it just the police from starmer? >> oh, i was going to say he says football is obsessed. you've got some writers mate. yeah, some writers. he's got a cream for that. people thought i had a beer with trump. you've got starmer obsession. >> the prime minister, he said the prime minister five times. sorry when he meant rishi sunak wasn't that incredible. >> are you bringing this in to

this story? i've been on for a few nights. okay. it's all been building up the anger. >> starmer's england. yeah. no fun, no chance . fun, no chance. >> right. welsh news in the daily mail . >> right. welsh news in the daily mail. nick. and >> right. welsh news in the daily mail . nick. and how can daily mail. nick. and how can these phones, home phones , homes these phones, home phones, homes be affordable with all the money spent on those really long road s|gns? signs? >> good point. welsh speakers only, please. exclamation mark we don't often see in a headline. councillors want affordable homes in new development to be only for those who can speak. the language. and this is in botswana. i looked up how to pronounce it . this is in botswana. i looked up how to pronounce it. i'm this is in botswana. i looked up how to pronounce it . i'm not one how to pronounce it. i'm not one of those that can speak the language. no one on the internet, even knew, but it's got a lot of ends in a row. well, here we go. >> why don't. to get the house, you have to be able to pronounce the road. yes. yeah, that's. surely that would be botwnnog. but is that what it is? >> botwnnog community council can getit >> botwnnog community council can get it because i rewatched lord of the rings recently and in gwynedd. this is all in gwynedd. >> gwynedd? >> gwynedd? >> yeah. i think we're not allowed to say any of this. >> why are we allowed to say this? i'm on the seine. bebe. come on, adam, do your worst. >> no, no, no, i respect the welsh people. >> you were doing it in the interval. you were like. are you sure? >> and you were burning a welsh

flag, which i thought was weird. >> yeah. why >> yeah. why >> why did you bring it in? oh, yeah. >> sorry about that. >> sorry about that. >> can i just give the story? though? the village council insisted there was no local. anyway, the point is, they're saying that you're bringing these families into the area and you'll lose the welsh language. i mean, yeah, fair enough. i agree in principle. the only thing is, if you're taking money from england, then i say, well, you can't be this precious and we should be allowed to do it as well, you see, because it's a breach of equality law. but i would get rid of that and say we can say you have to speak engush can say you have to speak english and you can't even be welsh. >> get rid of the equality. >> get rid of the equality. >> and they can say, you have to be welsh. i just want everyone to have those rights. but do we? does anyone else have those rights? can we say that? >> well, i think if they don't have the right either, if they went ahead and did that, it would it might start an unpleasant chain where you know, people in england might have to be able to speak english to buy homes as well. and we don't want that very good. >> yeah, that's very good. i haven't seen that particular angle. yeah. the argument is you just said it much better. he did say it very well. you should be very proud of yourself. i don't care anymore. clip that one up.

but what. but it's bigotry. >> it's called a whale and dolphin. >> i mean, that could be the argument that it is bigotry because they're saying we don't want english people around here. >> why can't you all be bigots? >> why can't you all be bigots? >> so you think that that would be the fairness if everybody had a point as well? yeah. or forcing people to speak welsh, or we could have recent immigrants who are coming over learning welsh, and they might just go back because it's too hard. yeah, maybe, i don't know. there's just a lot to explore here. yeah. well i think we'll have a, have another look at this. one more male adam. and what's the pope's problem with lassie? >> i love this story. yeah, this is from the mail. pope francis hits out at couples who have pets instead of children, warning this cannot go well in latest call for to parents have more offspring. now, i love this. the pope who he actually described these households as sad households. so people who decide not to have children, they actually praised family. he also praised families with three, 4 or 5 children. hello so well done josh, although you know, i guess you know, not not catholic . so i think what was catholic. so i think what was really interesting, this was he also referenced in 2023 when a

woman asked him to bless a dog, and he actually lost his patience, which i think is funny. i think the pope is just doing pope stuff. it should be the pope smoking dope , smoking, the pope smoking dope, smoking, doing all this sort of stuff. i think the pope should be saying things like have more children and, you know, getting people to step up to it. and i like the fact that he's actually, he's actually criticising people for saying no, having a dog or having many cats is not the same as having children. and, you know, prioritising families. that's a nice thing to do. >> and but why attack people with pets? there are people out there i know who love their pets, who've got who don't have children. you know, they love their pets as much as kids. >> yeah, but he's saying, that's weird. >> i know, but do you think it's weird? of course. okay, fine, i will point this out. >> i will, let me stress about it. i didn't think that in my early 20s, and i thought it was probably, i thought an animal was probably a good replacement for a child. and now that i'm in my early 30s, i think it's pathetic. the question is , well, pathetic. the question is, well, are we selecting for a religious people's genetically? >> apparently we are. but at the same time, some people say statistically it's insignificant because, you know, catholics and

orthodox jewish people and stuff have larger families. but will that make a difference? over a long enough timeline, everyone would end up religious because the non—religious just have fewer children. they have pets instead, and they're woke and they die out. >> but that's if they manage to continue the religion. people then fall out of the religion. so yes, there is a real problem in italy of the replacement rate in italy of the replacement rate in terms of places. they've got towns in sardinia now that are pretty much empty of any young people. so they're these dying towns. yeah. if i might be so bold, i don't want to tell the pope his job, but maybe he might encourage, women to sleep around. yeah yeah, i guess we want families. >> not. not just single mums. not not just single mums. >> central to the catholic faith. >> can i, can i just say as well he's against contraception. >> he's doing his best. >> he's doing his best. >> producers are telling me to move on. right. nick? the guardian has a story about youtube wanting our kids to be fat. >> yep. to youtube restrict teenagers exposure to videos about weight and fitness. they don't. it doesn't breach the youtube guidelines , but they're youtube guidelines, but they're saying that it could affect the

wellbeing of some users, meaning they might accidentally get thin, look, obviously i don't want young people to have eating disorders because they've watched the video, but when it says here the new guidelines apply to content that idealises some physical features over others , some physical features others, some physical features hate to break it to. people are better than others. this this is this idea. everyone should just be an equal blob of nothingness. but it's just not the case, is it? i mean, we don't want to normalise fatness . let's just be normalise fatness. let's just be real. fat is bad. whatever louis would say, he'd say it more offensively than me. but i don't want to attack fat people. but you can't. i kind of do a bit. >> you're saying you're calling them fat? you mean. >> what do you think about? >> what do you think about? >> i mean, you like to say that anymore. is that what you're saying in your circles? you don't like the royal family? how did you get on gb news? we need to get you better. diversity. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> diversity. no, i think this is really interesting. i'm going to go i'm going to go out on a limb here. and i'm sorry to both of you for the next sentence, but i think it's probably the only one person who actually goes to the gym regularly to lift weights. i think this is a good thing.

>> you're saying i don't go to the gym? >> whoa. not not to lift weights? >> no, not lift weights. >> no, not lift weights. >> no, not lift weights. >> no, no, nick. >> no, no, nick. >> okay, well, we are going to go to a new level now. what's your best arm wrestling? that is insane. >> four sets of eight chin ups. what can you bench? >> oh, what do you want on my chest bench? >> is it really high? okay, i'm just. >> i've never. three years is the biggest insult, that we've had the point of even going just because i'm slightly fat as well. >> i didn't say you were fat. what do you mean? well as well, i do know josh is very skinny well as muscle. i do spend time

one three five kilograms i can do 12 reps. right? welcome back to the final section of headliners and let's kick it off with friday's mirror. adam and this would be a good story if anyone in this country had any money left. >> yes. so this is from the mirror. john lewis revives famous, never knowingly undersold price promise with one key difference. i'm going to save it. they're just going to

use ai save it. they're just going to use al to sort of scour all the websites. okay that's that's the key difference. >> great. that's the story. thank you so much. did you miss it? did you miss the never i never actually understood i understand it's a price guarantee. yeah i don't understand the phrase never knowingly undersold. what? nick? what does it mean ? well, they what does it mean? well, they never knowingly. knowingly. >> no, they missed an opportunity just to bring it back as knowingly undersold, didn't they? that would just be kind of edgy. like we're owning it. yeah. yeah yeah, we're deliberately trying to rip you off. >> oh. did we give you the. did you upsell us? you know? >> yeah, yeah, that's all i got on that. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> but i mean i wonder a great story, to be fair. okay. i've done my best with it . done my best with it. >> nick's all upset with my comment earlier. >> i feel like it's maybe the world's turning when john lewis is like a british institution. and it seems like they've made some made some money this year. maybe they're turning it around. yeah obviously they have that incident. i don't know if you saw where they had the letter where the woman wrote in, because they've made all the dressing rooms, non—binary or something like that recently. so there's, there's a slippery slope. but they didn't , they

slope. but they didn't, they didn't do they didn't do that knowingly though. >> to be fair. no. >> to be fair. no. >> yes. no. willie's knowingly. can you say that word, willie? k . nowmgly? knowingly? >> 5 am. »- >> 5 am. >> yes. actually, you must be able to. >> i mean, two year old children say that. you must be able. it's fine. they're very strict. >> no, it's not okay. telegraph now, nick. and you know you're old when you're too for old m&s. >> yeah. m&s spending as much on social media as tv adverts to lure gen z. they're luring them . lure gen z. they're luring them. nothing sinister about that. but yeah, this is weird because they're so late to this. i mean, everyone knows no one watches tv except gb news. yeah, yeah, loads of people watch this, but in general, they're just insanely late to this because of course you put the money on the internet. but companies , they internet. but companies, they move so slowly, they're like, yeah, we're pretty radical guys , yeah, we're pretty radical guys, but we're spending money on this thing called the internet. yeah. >> they're like, hey guys, did you know that we could sell goods on these things called websites? yeah, yeah, and that's it. >> but people go into they go on whatsapp or they go on the world wide web. what's w—w—w cyberspace. people are going in cyberspace. people are going in cyberspace. like, you can imagine the presentation with a whiteboard. people are going into cyberspace. i've seen the

lawnmower man carry on. >> josh howie. yeah, but you're you, gen z. >> no, i think i'm just about millennial. >> well, i mean, i'm surprised to know that there's such a hit m&s with. yeah. >> i mean i've seen tiktoks and i've been i mean i've been an old man since i can remember. i've been shopping at m&s for years just because i always thought the quality was slightly better. thank you. yeah thank you. but i wear it better, don't l, you. but i wear it better, don't i, but yeah, i think this is this is good. i like the fact i personally like m&s. i think it's like they've got they've always taken care of the customers. i like the fact it's an iconic british brand. they've got some. they've opened up a new store in croydon in my hometown. you know, i've got nothing bad to say about it. for good them. >> always bringing it back to croydon. of course, advertising on social media and whatnot. when you have arguably a brand that normally has catered to a slightly older audience or an aduu slightly older audience or an adult audience anyway, that's taking money away from traditional advertising streams , traditional advertising streams, television. and, you know, that's going to have an effect, right? with newspapers with. yeah. >> have they boycotted us? every other company batley has marks and spencer. have they. >> well, i don't know , i just

>> well, i don't know, i just but the ironic thing is of course there's one right next to the studios and that we pretty much keep m&s alive. >> josh i wouldn't reveal the location because a lot of people don't. >> a lot of people out there could be anywhere. >> a lot of people don't like you in croydon, right? >> yeah. adam, the mail has a story where it turns out that i'm gen z. >> yes. so this is. i'm sorry to hear that. josh, so this is a new study reveals sexless gen z's pitiful understanding of female pleasure centre. so it says less than half of gen z men know the location of women's sexual pleasure centre. >> you're telling me that women have a sexual pleasure centre? >> well, the funny thing about this is to defend, the gen z's. i think, you know, women have become a lot more complex in the last sort of ten years, so who knows? >> i'm pretty sure that their bits are all still the same. >> but are they? is a woman a woman, or has it changed? >> of course. so they keep up? yeah. >> i mean, if the definition changes who knows. so yeah. yeah. so i think this is really goodi yeah. so i think this is really good i think i think this is, this is very sort of like not

very surprising, this article goes to on explain about like 2000 men uk men show they were more knowledgeable about, female sexual anatomy than their own. and like 18 to 2440, less than 48% of men knew even where the location of their prostate is. so it's almost as if schools haven't been focusing enough on biology in recent years. >> give the 24 year old men time to figure out where the prostate is. that will come to them later. but this is a typical prurient story that i hate covering, but i don't know which words are allowed to say. but apparently 61% correctly identified the region. it's got a whole region now. is it brexit? it i don't know, it was very interesting. >> nick. metro very quickly has a piece about this week's pro—palestinian march. >> you thought this was worth rushing to. okay. festival has to remind attendees that nazi costumes are not acceptable. is this the one we do the joke about the pro—palestinian. i had loads of jokes on the last one anyway. never mind. this was in the norfolk and it's a 1940s festival. but then people have been banned for wearing nazi uniforms. if you can't wear that uniform. >> and at 19, the greatest part of england going, yeah, but i

ask you, john, they're dressed up as a waffen ss. yeah, yeah. thatis up as a waffen ss. yeah, yeah. that is red flags and goosestepping screaming about jewish persecution. >> they're just getting into the spirit of it, though. >> this does not sound like fun to me. >> this is healthy, normal, good enough for royalty. >> it's good enough for us. okay. >> show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at friday's front pages. telegraph prisoners could serve their time in estonia. the express we're not greedy . britain's elderly not greedy. britain's elderly will do a deal on fuel support. daily mail round is back, but it's germany planning to use it. guardian no justice for the german grenfell tragedy until next decade. the i brexit food rules set for delay to avoid price rises at supermarkets. and finally, the daily star mad vlad had spy whale whacked and those were your front pages . that is were your front pages. that is it for tonight's show. thank you very much to my guests, adam koumas and nick dixon. leo kearse will be hosting tomorrow night at 11:00 pm with myself and nick. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. >> that warm feeling inside from

because i think we ought before all of that, let's get the news with sophia wenzler. >> nigel. thank you. good evening. i'm sophia wenzler with your headlines just after 7:00. the prime minister has said he is deeply saddened by the death of a member of the royal navy after a merlin helicopter ditched in the english channel. the incident occurred during operations with hms queen elizabeth. no other fatalities or serious injuries have been reported , the ministry of reported, the ministry of defence has confirmed. the family has been informed and a full investigation is now underway. the home office has confirmed it will not use raf scampton to house asylum seekers. labour has scrapped the former conservative government's plan to house asylum seekers at the former raf raf base in lincolnshire. home office minister dame angela eagle said the plan, which has already cost £60 million, fails to deliver value for money for the taxpayer .
