there's some sort of thing. look, i get it. not everyone wants their social media history or whatever, their search history. i keep my search history. i keep my search history pretty well guarded. but in a case like this, when surely you should be able to say to microsoft. oh, look. look what this guy did. pleaded guilty to. so it's not. there's nothing controversial here. let's see his search history. surely there's a case to be made where they go. oh, yeah, here it is. yeah. rather than years worth of. i mean, this is a waste of time as well, because now there'll be reviews to try and look at how he managed to radicalise himself or whatever the correct phrase would be. and you've got two tech giants holding all the power. this is not just about the fact that it's in america, the tech giants. this is the problem. these monopolies of information and data hold all the power. and we can ask, and then they can just, you know, throw us off for a couple of decades. >> i mean, i can understand why there'd be, you know, legal processes you have to step through before you get access to this data. but, i mean, this is this data. but, i mean, this is this is something that there's a clear public interest in us knowing. so, i mean, surely microsoft and google and anyone else who can help access the browsing history of this, this monster should, should step up

and provide it as quickly as possible. >> i absolutely agree. >> i absolutely agree. >> i absolutely agree. >> i think. >> i think. >> it's. >> it's. >> the fact that they're. >> the fact that they're. >> an american company. >> an american company. >> they don't. they're not unden >> the. >> the. >> same jurisdiction. >> same jurisdiction. >> that. >> that. >> a uk based company would be. my >> a uk based company would be. my other thought is what could it possibly change though? i mean, there's going to be absolutely nothing redeeming on there. and we and what could there. and we and what could there be information wise that we need. like he's obviously just done something completely horrendous for a multitude of reasons. i don't think whatever he's been. >> we don't we don't know. i mean, you're saying the multitude of reasons, we don't know if it's a multitude of reasons or if it's a specific reason, as we've seen in similar attacks. and there are hints that, you know, the his thinking behind it. so he's previously said britain deserves a white genocide. now you can imagine if somebody if a white man had had said, you know, the equivalent thing about a different race, people would jump on that and say, well, he's clearly a racist. he's clearly a far right white supremacist, etc. that seems to be being hushed up here. and his reading material

is very suspicious. it's all about, you know, white settler colonials, you know, doing terrible things in africa and things like that, you know, the sort of thing that could, you know, it's either the reading material for any university course in 2025 or curriculum. it's, you know, it's somebody who's got a resentment against white british people. >> yeah. no fair point. absolutely fair point. well, then let's hope they release it. but there's a small part of me that's glad. it is very difficult to get your internet history read, you know. not for me. >> i'm sure yours is fine. >> i'm sure yours is fine. >> oh. mine's fine. mine's just sort of me. women. >> i don't understand how i if i mention getting a robot vacuum cleaner, i will get adverts for robot vacuum cleaners within five seconds. >> because you like the chase. >> because you like the chase. >> why can't we get. why can't we get this information? which is more important to the nation than me getting a robot vacuum cleaner? >> yeah. i mean, not to be too glib, but he deleted his cookies. it is literally that he deleted web history. clean, clean the computer. and that's why we can't just take the

laptop and hack it. and, you know, it's not even that difficult to get into a windows machine, but it's all stored in the data centre of google. right? and that's the problem. that's why it's going to take ages. >> right. well, moving on to the daily telegraph. we've still got the south park attacker. and this time keir starmer is saying there won't be a whole life term for similar killers. >> no. that's right. so pm rejects whole life term over southport. so starmer hiding behind the un despite pressure from peers and victim families. so keir starmer has ruled out giving teenage killers in general like actual whole life sentences. so he was so axel rudakubana was sentenced to 52 a minimum 52 years. but a lot of people have been frustrated that he wasn't just given a complete life sentence. and this is because the heinous crime that he did was committed ten days or something before he turned 18. so there's obviously laws in place that protect children from these kind of sentences. the death penalty in some places and
