in all the usual ways. email me at gb views at gbnews.com/win. go to the website gbnews.com/advent. or of course you can tweet or you can text me. of course you can take me out with you as well. stick me on in your car or wherever quite frankly, because of course we're on dab+ radio. i always say it's a treat for your ears, isn't it? there's no escaping us and that's just the way we like it. look, very serious matters that we've got to start the show with tonight. very tragic, infuriating, frustrating. despair. i mean, what words do we now use to describe the scenes that we've seen unfold again on european soil today? i'm speaking, of course, of the fact that nearly 30 people have been injured, some of them now in a critical condition. and, you know, if he was following the news today, you would have heard everyone talking about, you know, this car has driven into them like we've got some kind of self—driving cars now

that are randomly going about doing all of these awful things. well, no, actually, that car was rammed into innocent people by a man that we now know to be an asylum seeker from afghanistan. and you guessed it, he was known to the police. i'm getting so sick and tired of kind of talking about these horrific stories. i personally sit there and i've had my head in my hands today, and i've been thinking to myself, what have the leaders of europe done? what have they done to this continent, to these countries? and i don't say it in past tense, i say it, what are they still doing? what is happening to our nations? well, i despair. >> to start with, in germany, of course, chancellor merkel. right. revered as the great, great one, you know, friends with russia, friends with friends with afghanistan, friends with afghanistan, friends with afghanistan, friends with anybody will take a million migrants in. and it's turned out to be a political

disaster as well as a human paying disaster as well as a human paying a price disaster, a human disaster for lots of people in germany. every so often, something like this happens. all this is going to guarantee is that the afd move from second in the polls, probably up to joint first. and there may be problems. there may be problems about forming a government in germany now, which used to be one of the great kind of commercial powerhouses of the world, and now completely on its backside. and what i also don't like, chancellor schulz is completely useless. he reminds me of starmer, actually totally useless. almost everything he does turns out to be wrong. we'll stop. we'll stop the nuclear. we'll never do this. and now they haven't got any electricity even probably coming up to our prices. but i feel sorry for the people of germany, because every time they hear of anything, they always know, oh, it will be a migrant. it will be a muslim migrant. that guy in 2016 was told, you can't become

a german and we're not going to allow you in. we are now nine years later. and yet here he is by islamic madmen, actually trying to kill as many people as he can. i feel desperate, but actually we can't even say in our own country that something similar doesn't happen. you ask the people of manchester how they feel about some of the migrants. >> i do have to point out there'll be a lot of people watching this that will say, you know, it's not an islamic guy, it's an islamist guy. and people will try very hard to make the difference between the two things. matthew, where are you on this? >> there's only one place you can be. and that's obviously, first of all, thinking of the families. it's awful. it sounds like a tired old line, but you struggle to find words for stuff like this. and kelvin spoke about the people of manchester. i from manchester, who was living in manchester at the time and knew of people that died living
