yeah. >> it doesn't look like the head of the m15. yeah, it's. >> it's too much hair gel. >> it's too much hair gel. >> yeah, it's before they let people in. it's a it's a day. >> he looks 15, funnily enough. >> he looks 15, funnily enough. >> yeah. he looks horrible . but >> yeah. he looks horrible. but he's saying it's the newspaper. starts out with a lie. russia is plotting mayhem in britain. and he didn't. he kind of said it because they want to believe that that russia is causing mayhem. the fact is that british people are incredibly capable of causing their own mayhem as letting in millions of people into the country. lately has been causing. >> it is weird. >> it is weird. >> they have started with adam. >> they have started with adam. >> they have started with adam. >> the maybe the least dangerous element of his talk. >> yeah, and that's become the front page because they said then they mentioned iran. they said, oh, we've already thwarted over 20 attacks from iran. >> that's pretty hardcore. yeah. >> that's pretty hardcore. yeah. >> and then we should worry about the people who are like plotting. yeah. >> and then and then the other big part of this headline that seems to be pushed is this idea of radicalised teens. >> this huge increase of them. >> this huge increase of them. >> they've been watching andrew tate and seeing these memes, and now it's gone up 40% and 30. but

then it does still doesn't actually say what the real dangerin actually say what the real danger in this country. >> and we know and maybe we shouldn't say what the real danger is. no, i'm not saying i'm not going to say it. people hate. they hate you, josh. i don't want them to hate me. they hate you. you say what you say. what it is the fact. the fact is, is that it's the real hatred is what you think is the real hatred. >> okay, well, look, they say here that since 2017, m15 and police has disrupted 43 late stage attack plots. now, that's a really big deal. that's obviously, i imagine people with bombs, with guns, whatever it is, they're ready. and they did it right at that point. well, they don't say is what what are these 43 late stage attacks that they saw ? what what contingent they saw? what what contingent could that possibly be? what political what political or religious ideology did they. yeah. it's interesting. they don't mention god forbid that would be it starts with a lie because the newspapers want, you know, we're going into war. >> basically, they want us to fight the russians. but meanwhile we've got enemies. a

lot closer and a more dangerous than the russians. >> well, i'd say i mean, i'm not saying that russia isn't a threat. it's a different kind of threat. it's a different kind of threat they're talking about specifically in this . in his specifically in this. in his speech, he was talking about how businesses need to be watching out and how they're going to undermine secrets and that that kind of thing. that's a big difference to violence on our streets that is happening. and that seems to be very much coming. the largest contingent of it, although you can't see it, you can't see it. these articles, it's coming from islamists. anyway, i said it. i said it, lewis. >> bingo. >> bingo. >> but lewis agrees with me. if you're going to come for me, come for him as well. right. let's move on to the daily telegraph. adam. >> yeah. so with the daily telegraph, we've got a few different stories here. if we look at if we look at the main one here, it says chancellor looks at cuts to pension withdrawals. >> so that doesn't affect us does it. >> it doesn't affect us yet although lewis, you are 67 and i think pension age is legally 66. >> so lewis survives on his pensions. >> that does that does. yeah.

>> that does that does. yeah. >> and i'd like to pretend to the ladies out there that i've got like a lot of money to take out which, which you don't which you don't. >> but this is the reason why all the meat you have is raw, because you can't afford to cook it . right. so the yeah, this it. right. so the yeah, this basically the summarise the story. they're looking at reducing the tax free lump that you can get down to £100,000. that's the that's almost two thirds less of what it's currently at. >> it's about 268,000 268,000. >> it's about 268,000 268,000. >> yeah. so this is almost this could be seen as well. it is i guess essentially if this was to go through and another attack on our pensioners , one that our pensioners, one that i personally don't actually. yeah i think this is quite unfair. you know, i'm, i'm very unsympathetic to pensioners generally because i'm not one. but i think this is pretty unfair. i think if you've worked hard the pension, you've put lots of money aside under the agreed prospect that you would get. >> the thing is that we know pensioners didn't work hard, they just got it all given to them. and now they're just reaping the benefits. we're the ones who are having to work hard. look at lewis. does he have lewis has never worked. he's got two pensions from two different countries. he's never

worked a day in his life. >> i could have had three. maybe. maybe i could have had. >> i think you do have three. >> i think you do have three. >> one is the point. the point is, is that a promise that i agree with with my fourth son, adam over here, is that is that your favourite? is. i like him a lot. yeah. >> is that it's not reciprocated though. >> it's not reciprocated. no. it's. it is that these people were promised the money that they could do with the money, and now it's taken away from them because the fact is, is that who are the old people? they're people who they're trying to kill now, with, with vaccines and with with covid. >> it's unfair to change the goalposts. this late in the game. >> well, yeah, but then the goalposts have changed because population is down. younger people die. younger people is it? there's an argument just saying that that it's unfair that a small amount of younger people have to pay for a larger . people have to pay for a larger. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> true, true cohort of older people. yeah. so that's the way this is. but that is the way the system has worked to the point. there's actually some very interesting other stories on here. there's a story about military families may get schools vat reprieve that. so they're already sort of talking

exceptions to the rule. but there's something sort of hidden here which is quite incredible. trump sent secret covid tests to putin. yeah. now that is interesting. >> it's very interesting . when >> it's very interesting. when i first saw this, i for some reason, before i actually read the story, i thought, well, he's just sending him like his results. like, here's my tests , results. like, here's my tests, i'm all good putin. but yeah, it's from his personal supply to putin. as if he couldn't have got a covid test from anywhere else. that seems very bizarre, very sort of underhanded. and why what's the motivation? >> well, the motivation i think is because he's a he's a good quy- is because he's a he's a good guy. and also the biggest motivation is he believed in covid. and that's the thing about donald trump is donald trump didn't do he was he's our bofis trump didn't do he was he's our boris johnson at the time. he didn't do enough to stop the crazies with the with covid to and prevent the hysteria with making these. >> but this would suggest allyship that there were all the rumours going around at the time it was disproved arguably. >> but yeah, well, who is who's the person who's proposing this? the guy woodward who was the

woodward and bernstein guy who was in the watergate thing, who's a known evil person. >> wonderful. thank you so much for ofcom reasons, i should say. i don't know that not not known as an evil person. right. let's move on to the guardian. lewis. there's quite a few different stories here. there's a picture of prince william with a cat . a of prince william with a cat. a cat on the front. it's not prince. >> he's got too much hair for prince william. well, it looks like prince william speaking at the top. >> i was thinking prince harry. sorry. i always get mixed. >> i know, i know what you meant. >> i know, i know what you meant. >> he's too happy to be prince harry. can you see it? >> it's. it's like a red—headed guy with a cat, a beautiful cat. i love cats anyway, it looks like my. >> phoebe, now you're going to get sent loads of pictures of cats. >> yeah, send me pictures of cats. i'd rather get that than the pictures. that being said. >> oh my god, you were showing. >> oh my god, you were showing. >> you were showing me before the show. it was horrific. >> horrific. >> horrific. >> anyway, that's that that's that true? but it's saying reeves presses ahead with plans to borrow billions for investment. this is the way the left thinks we're going to borrow money, which is going into debt, to build stuff that doesn't produce any income. but supposedly who does it help?

it's basically what do they call that one? it's just it's all about building. that's what the world is right now. let's build buildings everywhere, i think. >> i think we're missing the main story on this, on this thing, which is gael garcia and diego luna have been friends for a very long time. >> who are they? >> who are they? >> that's no idea. >> that's no idea. >> two bearded, bearded men there, right. finally. let's move on to the daily star. adam, what are they going with? yeah , what are they going with? yeah, serious stuff here. >> yes, the daily star. this is the headline. they've gone with is downing street was like a crack den. and we thought theresa may was so nice. so, yeah, this is coming out from bofis yeah, this is coming out from boris johnson who said that downing street looked like a quote unquote crack den when he took over as prime minister. and this is him sort of justifying when he came in and he put up gold sort of wallpaper everywhere and spent lots of money, he was like, i had to do it. there was literally drugs everywhere. it looked like a crack den, because i assume, i mean, they've got like a nice hannibal lecter looking photo of him as a clown. >> theresa may doesn't seem like a messy person, but then you could never tell no. she has also looked like a crackhead. >> the building was old. >> the building was old. >> the building was old through

fields. >> who knows what she was doing in those fields? >> it's not. it's not that he. it's not that he's spending money on his own home. it says his rent free home. it sounds like he's spending it on his home. it's what is it called? downing street. it's number 10. >> but did he take did he take the wallpaper with him. >> no. >> no. >> gold plated. i don't think he did. i don't think you're allowed to. oh well. so he made it. he made a nice place for him while he was his home. >> whilst he was living there. >> whilst he was living there. >> how long was he there for? >> how long was he there for? >> when you rent a place, do you consider that your home? yes. there you go. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> wonderful. right. that's front pages all the way. join us in part two for population inflation. fuel payment frustration and tory leader revelations. more unnecessary rhymes after

welcome back to headlines. i'm josh howie still here with the will. they won't they of lewis schaffer and adam koumas. we had very sad news during the break. lewis's son texted him to say that he was going to bed, so

we've obviously done a really rubbish first section. i just want to say you messed up, young man, because it's going to get really good now and you're going to miss out on everything . yes, to miss out on everything. yes, absolutely. and it is. and when to prove it right now because we're going to kick off with wednesday's guardian. turns out immigration laws can't be uncoupled with racism . lewis. uncoupled with racism. lewis. they let you in, didn't they? >> well, that is that could be me. i'm an immigrant and i've a sort of a semi questionable one. but uk laws can't see me. it's so they're 25 with a semi semi semi. there are, there are 25. you might, would you let me do my thing because you're not going to do it anyway. so i am going to do it anyway. so i am going to, i am going to do it. oh yeah. let's hear it go okay. is it, is it there a 25 black black asian and minority ethnic mps have written the home secretary who is what's her name, what's so racist i no, no they said they said you can't uncouple immigration policies from racism . yvette cooper from racism. yvette cooper yvette cooper. right. i was thinking i was thinking of tessa tessa jowell whatever, i don't know. >> and they're all white people.

look, the same to you. >> yeah, they they all say they're english people. and so it says, because when people come to this country, you have to keep in mind that they've been racially oppressed by you or by english people. so they should be treated nicer. and i say boo hoo to that . say boo hoo to that. >> okay, i don't know if that is exactly what the story is about. adam, do you want to tell us what the story is about? >> it's exactly that, to be honest. no, it's i think this is interesting, isn't it? i mean, whenever i see this. no, it's not that. but whenever i read these sort of things, when somebody says, we've written a letter saying that it cannot be uncoupled from racism, it's a bit like when i if i was to receive that letter, i'd be like, okay, sounds like you've already made up your decision and you don't want to. you're the mps. maybe like use some of your authoritative power to change that. if you think it's right. but if you're if it's just like a pity me letter, like, you know what? >> it is a pity they are talking about. look, they're talking about. look, they're talking about from 1950 to 81. they're saying the british immigration legislation was designed to keep people of colour out. that's what they're saying. even though somehow during that time, a huge amount of people of colour did come here. so it seems to me that was racism. of course, with the windrush scandal .

that was racism. of course, with the windrush scandal. but that was racism. of course, with the windrush scandal . but these the windrush scandal. but these laws that they're talking about are things if they existed were 75 years ago, they don't exist now. and what they're trying to say is if the immigration system is racist now, well , it's like is racist now, well, it's like they're trying to say it's about people of colour, but of course, well, who are they talking about? like here? like what proof do they have? number two. and also is it when things have been talked about, it's been talked about finding cultures who are have share a similar values or closer values. yeah. you know it's not racism . an you know it's not racism. an indian and a pakistani are the same ethnicity aren't they . so same ethnicity aren't they. so if there was any difference it would be cultural values then, which is not racism . if there which is not racism. if there was a difference that this article doesn't. >> yeah, but you're making too much sense. josh and sorry. >> no, you're not making sense. >> no, you're not making sense. >> you're telling me to move on because we're going to hit something crazy? >> i don't know, because, you know, the point is you're you're wrong about this because because they do feel like they've been

prejudiced against for being black or whatever it is. >> and asian, you couldn't think of any other races, could you ? of any other races, could you? >> yeah. well whatever. they're not happy about that. but the point is, is this this was somebody else's country before you came to it. it's your country now. but why are you looking at me ? yeah, exactly. looking at me? yeah, exactly. yeah. how long have you. how long have your people been here? look at me. >> look at me. a couple of hundred years. >> i don't think so. japanese people. thai people, vietnamese people. thai people, vietnamese people. there's i don't know, there's don't seem to be all great race issues there. i just think that maybe when you come here, if you want to, you know, i think like a british passport, you should someone should be able to draw a picture of the prophet muhammad right in the room. and if you're cool with that, what does he look like? >> you've got a picture. i'll show you. >> wait a minute. >> wait a minute. >> no, don't. >> no, don't. >> anyway, the point is to show that you're. you know, we have blasphemy laws in this country or we don't have blasphemy laws. i should say we are not homophobic. we are not. we're meant not to be. >> we're no fun, is what you're saying. >> yeah, yeah, but the point is, we need to be making sure that

people who come into this country share those values. that's what i'm trying to say. i don't know how that's enforced, but i say no to immigration, period, including including myself. let's get you out onto wednesday's times, adam. it looks like the uk popular. oh, not more, not more of it. >> there's a lot. yeah. >> uk's population is increasing by the boatload, by the boatload. that's a good boatload to follow . boatload? to follow. boatload? >> he has to do that every. >> he has to do that every. >> you have to do that every story. josh you . yeah. so this story. josh you. yeah. so this is from the times immigration fuels biggest uk population rise in at least 50 years. about 68,000 over 68. no 68 million people are likely to have been residents in the uk in june last yean residents in the uk in june last year, up by 662,012 months earlier, according to the office. >> you missed the extra 400 there. >> yeah, i'm just rounding, rounding down because i've got an agenda . but yeah, this is an agenda. but yeah, this is interesting. i mean , basically interesting. i mean, basically it's saying that part of the reason why we've seen any sort of growth in the uk is due to an

influx of people because of net migration. i'm not saying partly they're literally saying they're literally saying, yeah, migration . however, only 38,700 migration. however, only 38,700 people were detected arriving by small boat crossings. i think what this actually says, actually, rather than focusing on immigration, this is actually a story i think about fewer people, native people here, having fewer people, having children. i think that's probably more a story about that. fewer people are feeling comfortable enough to have kids , comfortable enough to have kids, maybe because of the cost of living, maybe because of the cost or the idea of families being demonised and everything like that. i think we're actually just seeing a decline in people wanting to have babies. that's it. >> the fact is, without immigration, our population would have declined last year. >> and why? >> and why? >> why is that a bad thing ? why >> why is that a bad thing? why is it a bad thing? because you need a growing population. why? because it's a ponzi scheme where people pay more people. even if some of them don't pay taxes, a lot of them do. and that keeps the economy seemingly on paper , growing, paying on paper, growing, paying pensions and whatnot. but if you get into a problem like that, which happens happier, no, it does not a shrinking population. >> all you need to do is look at the populations of south korea,

and you look at the populations of japan. not only are they at risk in sort of the next century going extinct, you have a huge ageing population, not enough people at the bottom to do all the hard work , i.e. people who the hard work, i.e. people who are paying taxes. >> so you bring in, you bring in people from another other countries which totally degrade the population that you have. we have. >> why don't we bring in the old south koreans? yeah . hello. south koreans? yeah. hello. problem song onto adrian newey louis, where someone has cleverly taken the lead in the tory leadership race, cleverly , tory leadership race, cleverly, cleverly , cleverly , cleverly cleverly, cleverly, cleverly yeah, yeah. >> all right, there you go. remember, it's 11:00. remember, it's11:00. >> no it's not, it's 5:00 in the morning. good morning. it is five in the morning. that's when the repeat goes out. >> that's when the five i'm at five in the morning. what's the number of more people watching at 11:00 at night, or are they watching? >> i don't want to just spread happiness, louis. >> yeah, but it's not spreading happiness because the people want to go to sleep that they wanted. >> maybe they wanted they use that opportunity to get ready to go to the toilet. >> i don't know, i'm too exhausted. i've done this. i've done this three days in a row.

it's like, come on, it's not too cleverly takes the lead in tory leadership. race is tugendhat knocked out? so this is having the tory thing. they're making a big deal like an american primary system. and the fact is, is the country is on fire. they should have just picked a guy. but the fact is they haven't picked a guy. and the meanwhile, the tories are basically you can feel this. their strength drain, their strength is drained away. >> they're getting closer to picking a guy, though. >> they're getting closer. a normal guy and i like i like cleverly. he's he's moved into the top. >> cleverly he likes cleverly. >> cleverly he likes cleverly. >> they're going to have two of them and then they're going to be put up for a vote. >> there's a tour, adam, of a stitch up i yeah that kemi badenoch who is supposedly the favourite amongst the membership. if she doesn't get through , surely that's through, surely that's controversial. this is who the tory membership people want. >> yeah, but i think badenoch has had a few sort of like hiccups over the last couple of weeks, including like talking about maternity pay being paid too much, which i don't know, i think she was talking about. >> she wasn't really saying that . >> she wasn't really saying that. she's saying small businesses. it it needs to be looked at that

relationship. but it got reduced to no, no. but that's what these things do. but that's because arguably people are out to get her. my personal theory is that she is it really feels like in the media she is being attacked or whatever . it feels like or whatever. it feels like she's, she's she's the anti—establishment figure. she's the one calling out civil servants or whatever. and it feels like someone's out to get her. and if she doesn't get through to these final two, i think it's a big mistake. i think it's a big mistake. i think it'd be a mistake for this country because we need strong opposition. i believe she would be the person to we have strong opposition. no, we don't , we don't. >> we do. >> we do. >> we do. >> we have we don't have strong opposition. >> really. we have we have, we have nigel farage. he's the reform is the opposition, but he's not i don't think he's enough. five mps, they have five. and next time they'll run, they'll have 70, 100. and then and then it'll be free. >> but here's the thing i think i think if badenoch doesn't get through and we end up having cleverly, i think who knows, it's going to be five years. i mean, probably until the next election. they could have a change of leadership before then at that point. so it doesn't

even matter, i think like she's got exact she's got youth on her side as well. so i think if she doesn't get through, you know, she might say, all right, daily mail, adam and protests have added fuel to the fire of there not being enough fuel for the fire. yes . although if you are fire. yes. although if you are an old person, you probably shouldn't have an open fire. that's just a fire hazard. yeah. so the daily mail says how how many premature deaths will this cause ministers under fire over winter fuel payment cuts for pensioners and protesters gather outside parliament. so yeah, this is the story of mps across the commons took aim at the decision to make the benefit means tested for the first time. obviously there's been this has beenin obviously there's been this has been in the news quite you know over the last few weeks it's been very contested. i am in a very particular position where every pensioner i know seems to be loaded and has to have lots of money, and they seem to be all landlords and have multiple properties. i'll send that to you on the other day. >> you're like, you're loaded lady. >> everyone seems to have lots of money and i think if they can not pay my, there's a landlord who's getting a lot of money every month from me , and if he's every month from me, and if he's not going to get £300, i'm not

going to shed a tear. however, i do obviously feel that the people who are at the bottom are the most vulnerable. do need to have this. >> well, this is the thing, louis. it doesn't seem fair that it's a universally given out to rich people like yourself. >> yeah , it doesn't seem fair. >> yeah, it doesn't seem fair. it's not fair. and it shouldn't be given out. just given out. it should be. they should. if you're going to give the money to somebody, it should. it should never be means tested. we should never be means tested. we should say, okay, we'll pay this person's heating bill so that so it goes directly to the thing. but you don't just give some some lady who likes to sit in a cold flat money. and the truth is, is that when you give to her grandchildren, is that. yeah. to give to her grandchildren. the truth is, is that 4000 pensioners would die. that's music to the globalist ears because they hate old. >> can you just say team world? that's on. that's on my bingo card. >> it's part of team world. okay, there we go. they want world. >> louis, i don't think it's about wanting people to die. i think that that figure was possibly an exaggeration when they made it in they were in opposition. yeah. so it's

massively backfired having that report there. >> and also i mean this is quite, quite dark, but if they can just hold off this criticism for a few months, it might just go away. ouch . go away. ouch. >> time for a break. now we're going to get so many complaints on top of all of louis's fans as well. why we're after we're going to be exploring . going to be exploring. minorities are turning right wing. the meme wars finally get out of hand. and why do women get it so repeatedly wrong?

for the car, louis. just brush your teeth. anyway, welcome back to headline. as we get back to it, wednesday's times and ethnic minorities are all far right bigots , apparently. everything bigots, apparently. everything all right with you ? everything all right with you? everything all right with you? everything all right with you, adam? >> there we go. there we go. >> there we go. there we go. >> all right. okay. i'm exhausted . i've done all of three. >> that'll be the last one. okay. yeah. so this is one of the times warning for labour as ethnic minority voters shifts.

right. so this is the story that voting habits have fragmented and minority opinion now spans the entire political spectrum. and they sort of talk in this story about labour losing five seats to pro gaza independence, far right people. >> well, they're very homophobic and misogynistic. yeah. some of the voters, jeremy corbyn and no, he's not homophobic . no, he's not homophobic. >> no, but he's one of the anti—semitic . yeah. anti—semitic. yeah. >> allegedly. >> allegedly. >> yes. allegedly. >> yes. allegedly. >> yes. allegedly. >> yes . whatever. >> yes. whatever. >> yes. whatever. >> we can't say. but other people don't think he is. >> basically, this is the revelation is that not all people think the same. and people think the same. and people are sort of voting independently. and yeah , whole independently. and yeah, whole ethnic groups do not vote as a bloc and everyone votes independently. >> like it's almost like people have their own minds. yeah. >> and i think it reminds me of like when biden said to a guy once, a black guy saying, if you don't vote democrat, you're not black. it's sort of reminiscent of that. it's a bit like people are independent to think of their own things and, you know, this is because at one time, black people in america voted for the democrats, and now they don't. >> that's what's happening.

there's a great a great mixing up where things are going to, and they're going to settle different places. the tories are gone and labour is not is not going to have muslim support if it keeps on going the way it's going. so we're going to have some new parties going on. it's going to be totally new in the next election. >> well, the idea is the idea behind identity politics is that like people of colour or people of the world or the global majority or whatever, everybody thinks the same everybody. but but actually what this article is saying that they believe it or not, there a difference. and what is that difference based on? it's not an ethnicity, it's on culture. so in this case you have they're talking about chinese , british, chinese voters chinese, british, chinese voters and british indian voters being more tending to be more right wing when it comes to the economy. expectations on the nafion economy. expectations on the nation state and views on welfare. those are cultural issues . yeah. then it also says issues. yeah. then it also says that and that also includes black african respondents, which is different to black caribbean respondents. >> right. and the fact that this is a this is a new coffee, right? >> it's russia, russia and this

is i wasn't listening. >> josh and the fact the fact that this is a news item, this is like a non news story. we all know that. >> but but no one says it. >> but but no one says it. >> well i've said it for two years but no one listens to you. >> now this is the times that are saying this right. yeah that's true more times adam. and is 57 too old for a job? well, it certainly put a stop to my stripping career. i'm not going to lap that. that was rubbish. i'm sorry. >> that's okay. >> that's okay. >> i thank god it never happened. yeah. this is one of the times almost half of recruiters think 57 is too old for a job, and to be honest, it is. you're at 57, you should be sort of thinking, okay, i don't want to be working. how do i start enjoying my life? have you been working a 9 to 5 job that you've been doing? the story here is basically, and i love it. it says when madonna was 57, she released a new album that topped the american billboard charts. yes, everybody was saying she was too old to be doing that. >> yeah, like you said, is that the only 57 they can find? 57, 57 year old has actually achieved something. it didn't even have to google 57 year old who's done something. >> yeah, but it didn't even

prove the point because they said 57 is too old. if this album was not released when she was 58 years old, it was released when she was 57. if she had released it at 58, it wouldn't have been successful. >> and there's a caveat to this as well, to say, if you are 57 at that point, you should really be at a position in your career where either you're not looking for just random jobs. people want you. you're either experienced, you're at the top of your game with all the experience. there's this one person here, and i feel sorry for her and can tell her. 61 felt she had no choice to become self—employed because she had a range of experiences, which is code for didn't really have much special. >> she loads a cabinet office and she did loads of bits and bits, but like anyone , you've bits, but like anyone, you've got 30 odd years there to hustle and get to the top of your game. and i'm sure that ageism does exist. of course, what's interesting is why don't you ask me? i'm the only one. all right, come on then, oldie 57 six. >> truth is, people don't want old people around. they look at. they look at an old guy and they 90, they look at an old guy and they go, oh, that's not you, though. yeah, they look at me. i hate to say it. look at you . and i feel.

say it. look at you. and i feel. i feel the pain. and they think i feel the pain. and they think i don't want anybody who's going to possibly take my job. and when you let somebody older in, they know all the ways. >> but if you think of it from a cynical reason, if you bring somebody young in, you can take the mick, you can pay them less, and they're going to be eager. they want there you go to the pub with them and introduce them to your friends. older people are going to have their wits about them. >> so before we move on, this is one of the a few of the articles tonight where the headline is one thing, and then you read it and you realise that the bigger story is the one that they didn't choose, which is they're talking here. half of recruiters think 57 is too old for a job, but they don't talk about it that more recruiters actually think that young people, i.e. 18 to 35, aren't good for a job. so arguably they're if there's ageism, the ageism actually goes the other way. but of course, that doesn't fit the narrative of the story. that's a very good point, you know, so basically, if you're between if you're 36 to 49, if you're 36 to 49, you've got it going on. how old are you? >> 32. all right. >> 32. all right. >> well loser, what are you i'm

34. yeah. guess who's in the chair. 48.3. >> that's a good point because it's quite possible. maybe if you look at the study, you're totally at the nail on the head because the newspapers lie. it's quite possible . they said if quite possible. they said if you're 32 years old, maybe 60 or 80% of the recruiters don't want to hire a 32 year old either. >> yeah, well, you know what? if someone could hire lewis, that would be wonderful. daily mail next asking what leads a woman to marry the wrong man? for no particular reason. let's go to lewis. yes. >> the very common mistake most women make. it's a great story. what do you think? do you think i read it? and that the common mistake that most women make that could see them marry the wrong man. and it's letting lewis schaffer buy you a drink ? yeah. >> that's so that's such a lie. you don't buy a drink? >> i did back in the day. i did. oh, really ? yeah. when i was oh, really? yeah. when i was working, i did. i used to buy tons of drinks. a waste of money. never buy a woman a drink and you marry them anyway. what it is. it's a very interesting story. i'll call it now, because this is. this is basically what

they said was. it's take it's take the birth control pill. you remember that? yeah. no . how remember that? yeah. no. how long have you been on? i've never taken one. and it says that the contraceptive makes women go out with wimpier men. yeah. and when they stop taking it, they they got a wimpy. >> don't fancy them anyway. so there's evidence that exactly this previous studies show evidence that women who are on the contraceptive pill prefer men with less masculine faces. now , adam, you've got a very now, adam, you've got a very masculine face. thank you. is your girlfriend on the pill? >> hopefully she has. >> hopefully she has. >> he doesn't have to answer that. that's totally inappropriate . what kind of inappropriate. what kind of question is that? i've been. >> i've been in previous relationships where people, when they've been on the pill, they've been on the pill, they've they've preferred me to be more clean gay people. >> oh that's interesting. so they've been on the pill and they've been on the pill and they want you to shave. they want me to shave. >> and then when they were off the pill, they've said, actually, i preferred you with a beard, and we're talking about your face, not other parts of your face, not other parts of your body. >> no. just face. >> no. just face. >> face. okay? everything else is in shape, but it is an interesting idea.

>> and also the fact that people are following this advice in the nhs. so much so the nhs has had to put out a statement saying please don't go off the pill, because it also turns out that abortions are at the highest level on record. yeah, that's the first. surely that's a news story in its own right. yeah. thatis story in its own right. yeah. that is they just slip that in right at the end there. >> what what is interesting though, i think if you are in a relationship with someone who is on the pill, maybe just try being off it and try safe sex. i don't think we can say that probably in the morning and then just see if your partner is still attracted, because if she's not, then you've saved yourself. >> no, because. because the underlying story team world is they don't want us to have it again. >> on bingo. >> on bingo. >> they want us to import fully grown adults rather than have children which which take up the fact the point is and abortion is one of those issues, birth control pills, one of those issues, they're all trying to get people safe sex. you call it safe sex. is that sex? people should have children. >> i mean, the fact is, this doesn't really apply to you anyway, because i don't think you've ever dated someone old enough to be on the pill. oh, god, i am so sorry. finally, in

this section, the guardian, adam, where people are taking abuse. >> it's not my fault that i'm old. it's not that much younger girlfriend anyway, taking abuse from japanese women sounds hot to me. >> yeah. so this is from the guardian. tokyo cracks down on kashihara amid rising customers abusing staff. >> kasahara say the japanese accent. >> i'm not going to do that. no, no. okay, i quite enjoy my playstation. but yeah, this is basically a story of people in japan or they've seen it specifically people in tokyo. they've experienced higher levels of abuse from customers, which is basically what we've had in the uk for years. our customers are really horrible. we are terrible, terrible people. so i think this is quite a shock because i think in japan people are quite typically well mannered and they've got aud and they have a sense of dignity and shame. i've been to japan, i know a lot about japanese culture and they are very rudest people. >> that is not true. >> that is not true. >> you're thinking of china. you're thinking of china?

>> no, i'm saying i'm saying thatis >> no, i'm saying i'm saying that is very rude. the japanese in the article, it says that you continue. then i'll put my $0.02 in. >> okay. well, basically they are basically putting in a pubuc are basically putting in a public order to sort of make sure that everyone is well behaved and they're not going to abuse 75% of the of their workers are in the service industry, which is incredible. >> yeah, it's incredibly high number. louis, have you been to japan? >>i japan? >> ihave japan? >> i have not been to japan, but i've had sushi and the thing that makes you the greatest expert ? well, it's a kind of a expert? well, it's a kind of a sushiis expert? well, it's a kind of a sushi is the fact is , is that sushi is the fact is, is that number one? number one, it says, it says that some some elderly resident accused her, accused her of wishing she would die and inviting her to drop dead instead. and i've heard this from many japanese people. that's one of the curses they do. they? they say you commit suicide. you're so useless you commit. it's like how? really? yes, really? that's japanese people. but the second thing is, is that in every country in every job, you hate the people you're serving. yeah, we hate the people who are watching us. we hate the people we're working

with. people are filled with hate. >> and i'm full of gratitude and love, actually. but one of the other examples, just before we go to break, which is incredible, is someone rang up their supermarket, said the their supermarket, said the their tofu was off, and then the vice manager or whatever it was went round to the person's house, found out that it was actually two weeks, two weeks old old anyway. and then the person said, you have to bow down and beg my, which i believe the person did. that's incredible. i mean, can you imagine calling your local tesco's and saying, my wotsits have gone off? yeah, yeah we know. >> didn't we have a story yesterday where broccoli fell on some lady's head? i don't know where she was and they gave us. but do you think this is a racial issue. it could be. it could be. it could be .japan is could be. it could be. japan is a very small country and their population is going down and they're going mad. like the way cauliflower. >> sorry. we've just we've just heard in the ear from the producer it was a cauliflower. it was a no. >> it was a was it a no. >>— >> it was a was it a no. >> it was a was it a no. >> it was a cauliflower louis.

definitely a cauliflower. >> vegetables. >> vegetables. >> either way it was a flower of some kind. the fact is we don't know if this story is true. it's in the guardian. it's most likely untrue. >> okay. it looks pretty to me. that's the end of part three. come back in the final section for sex robots, ultra processed food and gay face. sorry, just my christmas list. see you

welcome back to the final section of headliners. we jump back into wednesday's times and it's good for news people who think the terminator was actually the hero. i assume we'll be seeing some pro skynet protests on campuses soon. >> louis the terminator. >> louis the terminator. >> yes , it's all about al. >> yes, it's all about al. >> yes, it's all about al. >> oh about al. oh, i got this wrong. it says it says, quote, godfather of al ai. >> he's showing your age there. >> he's showing your age there. >> no he's not. he's joking again. he's. i'm joking, i'm joking, i'm joking. >> but it was a joke. good one. it's a good one. was it a good

clearing away towards the east overnight. some persistent rain continuing though across parts of northern england and eastern scotland , so staying pretty scotland, so staying pretty soggy here with quite a bit of cloud around. temperatures won't drop a huge amount, especially in the towns and cities, many places holding up in double figures. there will be generally fewer showers around tomorrow, but there will be some. in fact, even from the start, across far southern parts of england, a few showers quite likely, perhaps a little bit drier across central southern parts of wales and the midlands for a time, but further north northern england. plenty of wet weather around , some of wet weather around, some outbreaks of rain which could be quite heavy and more persistent rain affecting eastern parts of scotland. a very soggy start to the day here as we go through the day here as we go through the day, the rain across parts of scotland and northern england will continue for a time, but it should start to break up as we go through into the afternoon and early evening. elsewhere, a scattering of showers around. not as many as we've seen through today, and they're not looking quite as intense. less likely to have the odd rumble of thunder, but still some heavy

ones possible. and temperatures in the north starting to drop down as we get a northerly wind making its way across the country. that northerly wind then will push its way southwards across pretty much the whole of the country. as we go through thursday. and so that means it is going to be a chillier day , but much fewer chillier day, but much fewer showers around. in fact, it's looking largely dry. yes, some showers around coastal parts, but many places having a dry day on thursday and sticking with that drier theme until the weekend. by by. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead . lovely boxt solar of weather on gb
