a very warm welcome back to the saturday five. we've just had alex alex salmond on the blower. i nearly said there boris johnson on the blower and he says he's got some words for andy. so we'll get to them later on. now alex salmond has of course passed away at the age of 69. there have been tributes across the political spectrum and when we get to the news bulletin, we'll get to some of those. now, though, it's time for this . all right. free willy, for this. all right. free willy, what have you got.7 >> what have you got? >> bit of nanny state nonsense for you darren. so in some respects this is a story about a humble proposed fish and chip shop. but i think it's also an insight into so much of what is wrong with modern britain. in short, someone wants to open a chippy in north wales and pretty

short, someone wants to open a chippy in north \igherkins. pretty earlier, they sell gherkins. that probably counts. >> well, you remember the whole metric martyrs thing. there were people who came up with really inventive ways of getting around it. they did things like having a club where people would do a subscription, and then they were exempt from the rules and stuff like that. i think that they should do this, but they should pickle all the vegetables as a way of getting around it, sticking two fingers up to the local council because, i mean, funny stuff aside, this is just suffocating. i, like darren said earlier, i was recently in america and you could breathe the freedom in. i know that america is going south somewhat, but you it felt like a freer place and it made me realise just how suffocating all of the restrictions and regulations feel here in the uk. >> i'm afraid that all stems from the nhs. you know, i think the nhs is the root of us all being because we don't live for ourselves. we live to protect the nhs. >> i do, tony is tony blair behind this, i fear, i think actually on on the kind of pickle i think you should take

from scotland and batter all of the matter. all of the vegetables and the fruit . vegetables and the fruit. >> i think they're healthy when they're pickled though, aren't they?if they're pickled though, aren't they? if you batter them well, they're not really. >> you eat too many oesophageal cancer. >> cancen >> oh, god. all right. >> oh, god. all right. >> you got okay. see, i told you the nhs . the nhs. >> so we're in october and on the 10th day of the 10th month, which denoted by the roman numerals x, x, and for those of you who did biology at school, most of us, we all know that x is the only way that a foetus is a woman is defined as a woman, andifs a woman is defined as a woman, and it's not a sign that it's caused at conception. so this month, on the 10th day, x x x y athletics decided to put out a video to nike from some young girls. and i just want you to show it. that's all i need to say to see it. >> dear nike, dear nike, dear nike, why won't you for stand up me? >> why won't you stand up for me? why won't you? why do you claim to support women and girls? yet when we need you most, you remain silent. >> powerful.

>> powerful. >> it brought a tear to my eye when i watched. >> i just got goosebumps again for the second time. i've watched it twice today and both times i got goosebumps because it's just seeing the faces of the little girls. it's the it's the little girls. it's the it's the face of the people that this is really affecting who are being erased from sport. and it shows nike up because if they ignore it, andy, are those little girls bigots? >> is that what you're about to say? >> no, i wasn't going to say anything. i think it's a pretty if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything. no no no no no no no. [10 [10 ho. >> no no no. >> so i think jerry hayes got the boot of that. >> well i mean, you know, jerry won't start again on jerry hayes. >> andy's cloven hooves. >> andy's cloven hooves. >> oh, exactly. >> oh, exactly. >> i think i think nike will respond to that, i doubt it. >> they actually came out with a campaign recently for the women's american basketball team, which was the whole pro woke thing. they're so ingrained in these companies that despite the fact that these don't have a positive economic impact, they keep doing it and they keep doing it, but they did the whole thing where they introduced huabs thing where they introduced hijabs to encourage muslim women into sports. >> so they do care about some women, but not going into schools. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. it's a really depressing actually, and

a sign of, you know, that's why these big businesses boycott the likes of us because we speak common sense. now . right. i want common sense. now. right. i want to talk to you about hendon golf club . now, hendon is a part of club. now, hendon is a part of london with a large jewish population. and i was sent some really shocking images and video content , and really shocking images and video content, and i appreciate being sent it, but i genuinely was completely flabbergasted by it. now , a warning to viewers that now, a warning to viewers that there is some distressing images here with offensive content and slogans and, you know, turn off. now, basically, if you don't want to see it. but just to be clear to radio listeners, there was on the golf course, the likes of heil hitler inscribed within the sand. there was f the jews inscribed within the sand, and swastikas inscribed within the sand. now in a statement, the sand. now in a statement, the golf club said this. they

said in the early hours of friday 11th of october 2024, hendon golf club was the victim of race related vandalism . of race related vandalism. anti—semitic wording and symbols were drawn in a number of the bunkers. these have now been removed. the police and community security trust have been informed and the matter is now in their hands. now my question. my problem with this folks at home is that this would neven folks at home is that this would never, had i not been sent this, this would not have received any attention whatsoever, despite the fact that this person had tried to get it out there. if this had happened , and it was this had happened, and it was slogans that were against islamophobic in any way, this would have got coverage. i think when it comes to the jews , there when it comes to the jews, there is a unique we will turn away from this and pretend it ain't happening. and i think that that is a real problem. christianity. it would get coverage, but it would get coverage in a ha ha hee hee. isn't that hilarious? but when it comes to the jews, we simply ignore it and put our

fingers in our ears and turn our eyes away. and i think that that is a crying shame. and that's what i take away from this story. >> i live in this part of the world, and i live amongst these communities, so i know how sensitive that will be . sensitive that will be. essentially, there is no other way to describe this other than anti—semitism. is the acceptable racism. >> yeah, it's important to say as well. i mean, you alluded to it there, but this is a very, very jewish area . and the police very jewish area. and the police even take things more seriously, it seems, when, you know, hate crimes or whatever are committed outside of any other religious establishment, like a mosque or, and i do feel like i am seeing more overt, straightforward old fashioned fascist anti—semitism. and i don't think it's any surprise that this is coming right after the anniversary of, of the 7th of october. >> and also, it's yom kippur, the holiest, and rosh hashanah. >> it's in between rosh hashanah and yom kippur. so whoever has

come here, and i hope that they've managed to catch them on cctv, and if they have that, they do something about it. but whoever has done this must be somebody who's in the know and is trying to wound the community there. >> imagine being a jewish golfer. you go to that club and that's what you see. it must be absolutely awful. but, you know, you make a good point because there was a lad banged up for flying the saint cross of saint george close to a mosque. yeah, yeah. and i mean , i just think yeah. and i mean, i just think there's a, it's a i mean, just say that again. >> somebody has been jailed for flying a young lad. >> he was only 18 or 19, something to that effect. and i just think the whole, the whole country's got this all wrong . country's got this all wrong. but i'm grateful to gb news for allowing me to cover that. and thatis allowing me to cover that. and that is genuinely why i love working here. >> probably not anywhere else. >> probably not anywhere else. >> no, it won't be. it won't be. and i thank the person that sent me it as well. anyway, emma, what have you got for us? >> oh well, some people will remember that that keir starmer removed the portrait of margaret thatcher from downing street. well, now
