slaves. but that was he was under pressure from his from his father, the rest of his life, the rest of his career. he was a huge critic and even that wasn't, you know, pro—slavery. it was just saying, you know, we should refund these people the rest of his life. he was very progressive, definitely progressive, definitely progressive by those times and probably quite progressive by by these times. he became one of these times. he became one of the founders of the society for the founders of the society for the extinction of the slave trade and the civilisation of africa. and he denounced slavery in the american confederate states as detestable. so this is i mean, he's basically a pink haired, he's a pink haired, like, liberal democrat, you know, so if it is ideological, it's absolutely absurd. >> but we don't know because starmer took down the thatcher painting just because he didn't like the way it was looking at him. so we're not sure. rachel reeves ghostbusters two. yeah, yeah, rachel reeves was purely ideological because she only wants art from women there because she's a philistine obsessed with you know, whatever that means. but the idea that this sentence here, gladstone has images of gladstone have proven contentious since the black lives matter protest. you know what else is contentious?

the black lives matter protest. starmer kneeled for black lives matter in his office but can't have gladstone. so if it is ideological, it's completely absurd, right? you can't have a reformer. four time liberal prime minister, but you can kneel for a sort of violent, discredited organisation . discredited organisation. >> there are so many ifs in this story, though. it's a classic telegraph one, because all we know is that the log book that tells you where art is says it's no longer in number 10. it's in storage. that's all we know. and they've managed to get a thousand words out of it, going, oh, it might be because of how dare you say classic telegraph steve on gb news telegraph. that's the end of part two. in the next section, adolf hitler an influencer. as if you didn't hate him enough already. and rupert everett says he

welcome back to headliners. hello , nick to the mail on hello, nick to the mail on sunday. gen—z. think that hitler had some good ideas. so gen z

have worked with louis shaffer.

these things are . and what these things are. so and with the woke rise of the palestine movement, they're sort of they're very anti—israel , of they're very anti—israel, that kind of sort of bleed over into anti—semitism. so you're just seeing a different landscape. when we grew up, it was like, you know, it was like hitler's, like everyone knew about it and you wouldn't really get this kind of thing. but that is changing now with the zoomers not knowing about it. >> basically, young people don't even know what 9/11 was. so, you know, why are we asking them questions? >> yeah. no, absolutely. but a lot depends on how the question is phrased as well. so the survey asked 1000 likely voters whether they think hitler had some good ideas or if he was evil and had no redeeming features . now, that's a very, features. now, that's a very, you know, absolutist way to look at it . and, you know, you might at it. and, you know, you might think, well, yeah, what he did was absolutely evil and, you know, horrible. but the uniforms were nice. >> i thought you were going to go with the roads. you went with the uniforms. yeah. >> or, you know, you could find or , you know, some people might or, you know, some people might say, well, the weimar republic, germany had been absolutely broken. so , you know, broken. so, you know, economically he he lifted it,

you know , brave war hero in you know, brave war hero in world war one. yes . world war one. yes. >> that's what they're going they're going to take. yeah , but they're going to take. yeah, but can we talk about anyone. let me just take that out. >> i mean, anyone that's the trouble with sort of absolutist questions . questions? questions. questions? >> yeah. there's a scene in a family guy where they're doing a court room scene, and they said, how would you describe whoever it is, a bad guy or a pencil, like, well, it's not a pencil. then you must be saying it's a bad guy. it's basically that, isn't it? do you think absolutely everything is wrong with it? if not, well, it turns out you love hitler. yeah, that's the clip to the sunday telegraph. celebrity masterchef contestant talks about hummus and sausages. but it is really not what you think. >> so this is a comedian, yishan ackbar berated for an october the 7th massacre joke. so he appeared on celebrity masterchef, and he's been accused of mocking and belittling the 1200 victims of the hamas terror attack. i should point out i'm a mate of ishaan's . and, you know, i don't ishaan's. and, you know, i don't know. i think he's a i think he's a nice guy. he's a funny quy- he's a nice guy. he's a funny guy. i think this is a bit

unfair. his full post on instagram read a year ago today, something mad happened involving hummus and sausages at a music festival that resulted in the self—defence against children and their families, resulting in over 45,000 deaths that we in the uk massively helped with. aren't we the good guys? big up us. so he's trying to make the point. i mean, he's been sort of a bit silly about it. you know, people say, you know, people made the joke, the pun that hamas sounds like hummus, not ali g. and borat did that. and also keir starmer did said sausages instead of hostages. and he's trying to make the point that you know, we're complicit in this, this horrific attack. and we're attacking children and all the rest of it. i don't agree with them on that, but i know that a lot of people agree with him, and i don't really see the problem in him. you know, i don't think he's horrifically mocked. the victims of the attack so badly. i think we should we should stop going after comedians. comedians joke about everything and everybody's got their special thing that you can't mention on stage or whatever. so, yeah, stop stop going after comedians. because

if you do, we won't have any comedians apart from rubbish ones who never talk about anything, anything interesting, interesting and also opinions are shared by a lot of muslims . are shared by a lot of muslims. he's he's muslim and he was born in the uk. he's bangladeshi background, he's anglo—saxon . background, he's anglo—saxon. and if anyone thinks muslims can't integrate well here he is with the exact same opinions as a white woman. so there you go. >> yeah, that's a good joke. yeah. like, leo, i don't want to diss people that i know. i'm not like mates, but i do. i do know him. i used to know him to and my knowledge, he's never attacked me in the comedy industry, which is sort of my it's how i decide things. if you if you piled on me when i was getting cancelled, then i hate you. but if you didn't, then you're all right. and that's my sort of like a trump like way of deaung sort of like a trump like way of dealing with things. if you like me, you're all right. but i thought. i thought it was a bit bizarre statement and tasteless timing, but, like , leo, i don't timing, but, like, leo, i don't think you should cancel him. i mean, the campaign against anti—semitism say we've written to his representation or we will be writing to. why do you need to write to his agent? i just don't go into all this all this

stuff. i mean, there is an argument in the general culture war that we just have to fight fire with fire when it comes to cancel culture. but i really like leo. think leave comedians alone. i hate it when people cancelled. andrew lawrence, who would be perceived as more perhaps agreeing with me , but i perhaps agreeing with me, but i hate it when people are writing to his agent as well. just why just leave? leave comedians alone. >> comedy should be a safe space. >> yeah. all right, nick, the mail on sunday it's now claimed that king arthur, dressed as a woman . so king arthur also he woman. so king arthur also he was after the holy grail, which for him was armour that didn't snag your tights. i wrote both, i thought i'd put them both in. >> yeah, stick them both in. steve, put this on your show reel . so king steve, put this on your show reel. so king arthur may have been lgbt because he once wore women's clothing, says welsh council . so what he women's clothing, says welsh council. so what he did, apparently he was trying to get close to a girl he was romantically interested in, goes the tale. so he dressed up as you do as a woman, because that's what chicks dig. and. and then someone called him out on it and sort of, sort of ruined this ruse. so obviously he beheaded them. based so simpler

times in many ways, he says mercilessly, mercilessly, mercilessly, mercilessly, mercilessly, which is the best way to do it. that is the best way to do it. that is the best way to do it. that is the best way to behave. something you could do it regretfully. sorry i have to do this. but you know, it's my job . but this is the one it's my job. but this is the one thing i'll say about this. it's always this funny paradox, these sort of woke get into, which is this which is like, there's been thousands of years of oppression and patriarchy. we've not got a look in. plus there was just loads of trans people in the country doing loads of things since forever. and there were black people in england since year one. it's just like, you've got to pick one, guys. you know what i mean? because why are you trying to erase history and overturn it? if it was just full of lgbt representation that we should be celebrating and also the only ever go after, you know, one type of person like i've seen what, you know, mohammed would have been wearing, but they're never going to, you know, come out and say the same kind of thing about him because they're scared. >> and that's not, you know, the politically correct thing to do. but this is ridiculous. i mean, people, people in the old days dressed ridiculously because i don't know, they didn't have

nylon or spandex or whatever. so, you know, robin hood wore tights. this just shows why you can't trust any modern academia or historian or anything like that , because they're all that, because they're all rewriting history according to an agenda. the only thing you can trust is books that were written about 40 years ago, before everybody turned into a pink haired communist. >> so he apparently just dressed up as a woman once. and that makes you lgbtq like it was . it makes you lgbtq like it was. it was for bannau to know how it felt. like we all, we all are now. leo. the sunday telegraph rupert everett says he likes colonialism. that story again. rupert everett now unemployed. >> yeah. so colonialism wasn't all bad, says rupert everett. and me . so rupert everett said, and me. so rupert everett said, unlike most people who's speaking at cheltenham literature festival, which is, you know, quite a woke get together and probably struggling for money now that all the, you know , baillie gifford's and know, baillie gifford's and everything have been forced to pull out of funding, it. but he said that unlike most people, i have a great affection for all the stories of empire. i don't think colonial england was all

bad myself . speaking about his bad myself. speaking about his family background, he said the men in my family were all kind of empire rulers , military, of empire rulers, military, naval of empire rulers, military, naval, brisk and you know, i think he's speaking quite honestly. i think he's reached this stage where he doesn't need to worry about his career. you know , he's made his films, he's know, he's made his films, he's got his money, he's got you know, money. so he doesn't need to worry what people think of him. he can, you know, let his inner morrissey out. and it's great to see. i totally agree with him. >> i think it actually doesn't give him enough credit because as i recall, he was came out as gay at a time when it actually. well, it still doesn't really help you in hollywood. there's this weird thing where you want to get leading man roles, so we all have to pretend that kevin spacey isn't gay and things like that for ages, whereas he just came out and said it, even if it hurt his career and he's got these interesting views, he's a he's a patron of the british monarchy society. he's against he spoke out against same sex marriage in a kind of funny way, against hormones for kids. he's against hormones for kids. he's against cancel culture. so he seems to be that rare thing, someone who just says what they think and has a mixture of views, you know, like a human

being and an english eccentric. so i really like that somebody with integrity. >> they're rare these days. and also, interestingly, he says when he was growing up, he wanted to be a little girl. he dressed up as a little girl, and when he went to school, he played all the little girl parts there is no way in 2024, rupert everett would not have been transitioned. man. he'd have been dragged down to the doctor by his primary school teacher and just pumped full of hormones straight away. >> he could have played king arthur if ever they did some of play about we learned that today, aren't we? another section done.

welcome back to the final section of headliners leo to the daily star sunday nottingham prison to offer silent cells. have they just rebranded solitary confinement ? solitary confinement? >> so where are we? yeah, british prison to provide silent cells for lags. craving peace and quiet behind bars. so they're being offered low sensory load cells in the hopes

that it's going to calm them down and accommodate their needs better. so they're away from the main landings on the seven wings of the category b hmp prison in nottingham, which holds 900 plus men. i don't know what a plus man is. according to the mirror , man is. according to the mirror, i don't know. i think this is we're sort of told that, you know, prisons are so brutal and so tough and overcrowded, but then you also hear that you're getting these special sort of elon musk designed sci fi pods where you're you're protected from anything lavender pillow as well. i imagine lavender pillow. you can also apply to attend a cam gym session to keep the grunting bodybuilders on each wing. i mean , i've been paying wing. i mean, i've been paying for acupressure, acupressure sessions. i might just commit a crime instead. >> at this rate, they'll be furious that they get released at 40% of the way through their their sentence. yeah , this would their sentence. yeah, this would be great for me if i ever flip or like post the wrong meme and i just go to prison, or like post the wrong meme and ijust go to prison, i or like post the wrong meme and i just go to prison, i would love to have the quiet side because i always get the quiet

coach on the train, and a lot of people just don't observe it. >> they just talk on their phone anyway. so i'm just like, this is the quiet train. i would love to be in the i mean, i wouldn't love to be in prison, but if i was, i'd love to be in the quiet cell. >> another inmate like you're on the quiet carriage. it's about. this is the quiet part of the prison. probably is the reason you get stabbed. >> yeah, right. >> yeah, right. >> but quietly. >> but quietly. >> but quietly. >> but if you stabbed everyone else, then it would be really quiet. yeah. >> nick. the sunday telegraph. mike tindall moans that he's pale, male and stale. yeah, try being pale , male, stale and not being pale, male, stale and not married to a royal mike. it is harder. >> yeah. and on gb news. so it's mike tindall, james haskell and alex payne where pale male and stale that won't do much in 2024, which was a kind of weird quote where he just it didn't really make sense. he shouldn't even really use the phrase unless you're going to really say it's bad in my opinion. this is a kind of weird think piece about their podcast, which seems to me like a kind of fake, edgy normie podcast where they they say things that are mildly edgy, but not really. they're saying, you know, trans women shouldn't be in women's sports, are fairly edgy, but they say, what do you think, they're women or not? is it kind of irrelevant? which

it's not. but then there's another bit where they say, we've done more for champion women's rugby than anyone else. but then the guy had to apologise for it or something. it's one of these. it's sort of masculinity. it's like they're saying in the article, it's masculinity is bad, but it's kind of like back. but in a very tepid way. that was my reading of it. i've never listened to the podcast. i hate rugby like 40s on this. >> leo the observer in economics news, hair salons are facing cuts. they cut away from me before the word cuts as well. it's oh, you should do the fringe. >> hey . so fringe. >> hey. so england's hair salons face recruitment crisis as gen—z shuns profession. the owners say it's almost impossible to hire new stylists after a 70% decline in people enrolling in an apprenticeship . apprenticeships. apprenticeship. apprenticeships. hair stylist says it's a brilliant, brilliant career. i mean, all right, mate, it's not that great. your hairdresser, he says. it got me from a council estate in barnsley to working in a hairdresser. it's like that's just barnsley. yeah, you've got to start, you've got to start really bad for it to be a great career. >> well that's the show nearly oven >> well that's the show nearly over, so let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages. the mail on sunday lord chiefs pressured met to give
