we're all supposed to be scrapped. while on halloween we're all supposed to be scared by ghouls and ghosts but this year some people are probably more frayed about buying ghouls and ghosts this year some people are probably more fret about what they can or cannot wear. what they can or cannot wear. the touch. the touch . the

touch. let the please please help help students to make sure that they a costume is not offensive to any way show after new orleans is heard and ensure that say a costume is not offensive to any way show after new orleans as per any people with disabilities or illnesses or any other group of people and people with disabilities or illnesses or any other group of people. you don't want to say i'm going to wear this to perhaps. you don't want to say i'm going to wear these to purposely mock you or more quote your culture stands for but i think there's a difference between that and telling a student mock you or more quote your culture stands for but i think there's a difference between that and telling your students wearing a sombrero with a moustache is somehow racist. means wearing a sombrero with

a moustache is somehow race it's. such. thank you thank you thank you. well thank you. well earlier my colleague neil harvey put the idea of offensive costumes up for debate earlier my colleague neil harvey put the idea of offensive costumes up for debate why i think that you have to be sensitive to the actual group the. well i think that you have to be sensitive to

the actual group the people are dressing up as rather than listening to ourselves we should listen people are dressing up as rather than listening to ourselves we should listen to the group that's being dressed up and i think that that's so important thing and we have to stop being so sent to the group that's being dressed up and i think that that's the important thing is we have to stop being so sensitive i mean i've been told before that me mayor wearing a make america great again had is offensive i mean i've been told before that me mayor wearing a make america great again had is offensive so where do we draw the line i think that's where we have a very clear problem and say if so where do we draw the line i think that's where we have a very clear problem kids universities professors they don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the kids universities professors they don't have to be tone deaf and they can actually listen to the actual group and listen from them actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the rex will group

and listen from them actually what's offensive or not offensive and i think that's the right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and right way to approach these you know if somebody is offended i think you should have to need to try to be sensitive and not offend people but i don't know how this is so far on these college campuses offend people but i don't know how this is so far on these college campuses that now we're going to call people out on how wayne talk about ruining the holiday that now we're going to call people out on how wayne talk about ruining the holiday so i think that you can go too far in terms of something so i think that you can go too far in terms of something that's offensive and divisive even for a comedian so i think you just kind of thread the needle and you're going to it's offensive and divisive even for a comedian so i think you just got to thread the needle and you got to be respectful what scares me about this topic is i feel like when we just say that to

be respected. what scares me about this topic is i feel like when we just say ha we caught him and we have college students talking about what's offensive we really don't how we caught him and we have college students talking about what's offensive we really don't even know where the guidelines are anymore because we're living in this p.c. culture that sometimes don't even know where the guidelines are anymore because we're living in this p.c. culture that sometimes really doesn't make a lot of sense let's talk specifically hollowing so if it. really doesn't make a lot of sense let's talk specifically hollowing so if it was a person wants to dress up as freddy krueger no problem they stick on you know the appropriate attire dress of his freddy krueger no problem they stick on you know the appropriate attire what if they want to be someone like. i think is tony told this the who what if they want to be someone like. i think is tony told the who was you know a black man if you want to just play a famous black. you know

a black man if you want to just play a famous black you know horror 'd character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual horror 'd character how on earth would people in the sunday war without the visual clue i would probably just stay away from it because you have to quote yourself the question is the clue i would probably just stay away from it because you have to quote yourself the question is the squeeze worth the juice for example so i wanted to play michael jackson would i be intros were the jews for example say i wanted to play michael jackson would i be in trouble for that and how do i dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could and how do i dress up in that kind of costume you know i wish we could just embrace people for who they are and that we could not have the racial division that we haven't discussed embrace people for who they are and that we could not have the racial division that we have in this country and i've been told before that it's really easy for me to say that sitting back

a tree and. i've been told before that it's really easy for me to say that sitting back as a car kasian woman in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis weeds out caucasian woman in america but you know for me i think the more emphasis we place on race and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come to get place on race and the more we talk about the division the harder it is to come together and i look forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are gather and i look forward to a day in america where we can embrace everybody for who they are and hopefully be able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully and hopefully be able to kind of take race out of the equation and hopefully we can find a way around it because now that we're censoring hollowing caution as it doesn't look like we can find a way around it because now that we're censoring hollowing caution is it doesn't look like it's getting much better. while staying in the u.s.

it's getting much better. while staying in the u.s. the house of representatives has voted to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against president the house of representatives has voted to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against president trump the move was opposed by the republicans in the house and trump the move was opposed by the republicans in the house shameful to create a constitutional crisis for purely partisan shameful to create a constitutional crisis for purely partisan reasons this is soviet style rules when only one person has the wrong reasons this is soviet style rules when only one person has the right to call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman ready to call witnesses and as we saw just the other day the chairman was literally directing the witness to not answer certain questions by was

a litter. only directing the witness to not answer certain questions by the republicans what kind of fairness is that is likely the republicans what kind of fairness is that it's like a cold. these are a group of people loyally following their leader as. these are a group of people loyally following their leader as he bounces from one. conspiracy theory to another dancers from one. conspiracy theory to another and the media or the cult followers while the passed a resolution implies that in the media are the cult followers while the passed a resolution implies a 2 stage process of impeachment inquiry involving 2 house committees drafting the state's process of impeachment inquiry involving 2 house committees drafting the articles against donald trump the inquiry was initiated by the u.s. house speaker nancy particles against donald trump the inquiry was initiated by the

u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi it alleges trump sort help from ukraine and authorities to favor him in the 20 low-z. it alleges trump sort help from ukraine and authorities to favor him in the 2020 us presidential election trump was asking the ukrainian president of the fate of 20 us presidential election trump was asking the ukrainian president of a favor to investigate alleged corruption claims against his main political rival democrat eva to investigate alleged corruption claims against his main political rival democratic presidential front runner joe biden republicans deny any wrongdoing in the deep presidential front runner joe biden republicans deny any wrongdoing in the dealings with ukraine adding that trumps conduct was concerning but not impeachable with ukraine adding that trumps conduct was concerning but not impeachable the white house has reacted to the vote. with today's vote speak the

white house has reacted to the vote. with today's vote speaker pelosi and the democrats have done nothing more than in shrine unacceptable violations of diplomacy and the democrats have done nothing more than in shrine unacceptable violations of due process into. house rules the democrats want to render a verdict without due process into house rules the democrats want to render a verdict without giving the administration a chance to mount a defense a full not u.s. congressman giving the administration a chance to mount a defense a full not u.s. congressman michael patrick flanagan believes the whole impeachment private as a mistake for the democrats michael patrick flanagan believes the whole impeachment private as a mistake for the democrats this is not just bad but evil i could give you substance arguments about how the president this is not just bad but evil i could give you substance arguments about how the president did nothing wrong what we think it is nobody else turned out to think of it that way because congress and did

nothing wrong what we think it is nobody else turned out to think of it that way his conversation with the ukraine president and now nobody thinks that there's any nation with the ukrainian president and now nobody thinks that there's any substance here at least except for the hardcore left and the republicans were able to communicate to the substance or at least except to the hardcore left and the republicans were able to communicate to the american people that this was unfair that secret proceedings are unfair you can call witness the american people that this was unfair that secret proceedings are unfair you can't call witnesses against them it's unfair the president could be involved it's unfair americans understand unfair this is against them it's unfair the president could be involved it's unfair americans understand unfair and it's still going to be run in a dictatorial fashion by adam shift who is and it's still going to be run in a dictatorial fashion by adam shift who is you know a congenital liar every day there's new information about the hearings and you know

a congenital liar every day there's new information about the hearings in the press there should be no information in the press not on except that the democrats leak in the press there should be no information in the press not on except that the democrats leak it out every day. and so all i can say is that this is a terribly fog of doubt every day and so all i can say is that this is a terribly far broken process and i think that this is going to be a horrible horrible mistake broken process and i think that this is going to be a horrible horrible mistake while the democrats close in on president trump the u.s. president has his eye while the democrats close in on president trump the u.s. president has his eyes on another other countries and elect an election and warning the british want to keeping both the british charity i mean all the shareholder mean big can we all been would be a does dissolve off just a for their country country the party related to hit back on twitter he learned

a few days in hit back on twitter accusing trump of meddling you sally has the story no sooner had britain's prashanth of meddling you sally has the story. no sooner had britain's prime minister boris johnson and the leader of the opposition labor's jeremy corbyn minister boris johnson and the leader of the opposition labor's jeremy corbyn agreed to hold a general election on the some of the 12 when they started to take a raid to hold the general election on december the 12th when they started to take a each other and one thing which is sparked that is the role of donald trump in each other and one thing which has sparked that is the role of donald trump he's called in to the radio show hosted by nigel farage and he's called in to the radio show hosted by nigel farage and made clear which of the 2 kind of that he would prefer to be the next prime minister made clear which of the 2 kind of that he

would prefer to be the next prime minister and that's led to jeremy corbyn making the claim of political interference and that's led to jeremy corbyn making the claim of political interference by a foreign leader donald trump is trying to interfere in britain's election by a foreign leader donald trump is trying to interfere in britain's election to get is from boris johnson elected it was trump who said in june the n.h.s. is on the table to get is from boris johnson elected it was trump who said in june the n.h.s. is on the table and he knows if labor wins us corporations won't get their hands on it. and he knows if labor wins us corporations won't get their hands on it. now jeremy corbyn has long since suspected that boris johnson is preparing to sell off now jeremy corbyn has long since suspected that boris johnson is preparing to sell off the n.h.s. or somehow use it as a bargaining chip in trade talks with the u.s.

the n.h.s. will somehow use it as a bargaining chip in trade talks with the us a post brags that the exact thing that he was referring to a post brags that the exact thing that he was referring to in his tweet when he spoke about interference in britain's election was trump it his tweet when he spoke about interference in britain's election was trump saying which of the 2 candidates he preferred laura's user to enter stick mamp saying which of the 2 candidates he preferred laura's user to enter a sick man and i think is the exact right guy for the times of and corbin would be so badly a country he didn't and i think is the exact right guy for the times of and corbin would be so badly a country he'd be so bad he'd take you in such a bad way he'd take you in just such bad places as we had to show bread he'd take you in such a bad way he'd take you are just such bad places as we head towards that election on to some of the 12 the usual accusations of a major world power was that election on to some of the 12 the usual accusations of

a major world power interfering in british elections are coming thick and fast but this time the interfering in british elections are coming thick and fast but this time they're not aimed at russia but the u.k.'s main ally the united states not aimed at russia but the u.k.'s main ally the united states. while for some more insight on this we can now brand. well for some more insight on this we can now brain alan scott he's professor emeritus of international history at the london school of economics alan scott he's professor emeritus of international history at the london school of economic. alan thanks for joining us as we just heard donald trump swarm the u.k. jeremy corbyn well and thanks for joining us as we just heard donald trump swarm the u.k. jeremy corbyn would be quote so bad he take you in such a bad way he took your just such bad places would be quote so bad he take you in

such a bad way he took your to such bad places why is donald trump so worried about jeremy corbin. why is donald trump so worried about jeremy corbyn. wilko been searched selfdefense marxist leninist he's an old fashioned columnist he will self could fence marxist leninist he's an old fashioned columnist who would like to nationalize the whole economy they've got plans to like to nationalize the whole economy they've got plans to nationalize $23.00 of the biggest companies sort of a small sum of money nationalize $23.00 of the biggest companies sort of a small sum of money they want to put companies boards in the hands of trades they want to put companies boards in the hands of trade union representatives they want to give shares of all companies union representatives they want to give

shares of all companies to workers but if the workers get more than 500000 the money goes to workers but if the workers get more than 500000 the money goes to the state they want to buy or are private landlords they want to tax and state they want to buy or are private landlords they want to tax the richest people and one labor party spokesman on t.v. tonight said the richest people and one labor party spokesman on t.v. tonight said the billionaire should not exist which is something that was to put it in his oligarch of billionaires should not exist which is something that was to put it in his oligarch friends would find very comical i think but yeah there it fred's would find very comical i think but yeah they're extreme left wing marxist. money and extreme left wing marxist. money and if things got

elected money would flow out of this country and billions and trillions in think got elected money would flow out of this country and billy. trillions and that would have to post capital controls with it and that it would have to be sky capital controls that it quickly. be like argentina but didn't the. elemental of what about to be a little bit about the act at record all acting into the call that. because i felt bad about nations not that it's about accusations about him at length in medical link over the past couple of beers but could this be considered the very definition of meddling having a foreign leader but could this be considered the very definition of meddling having a foreign leader actually phoning in to a british radio show and trying to sway opinion here as any phony into

a british radio show and trying to sway opinion yes absolutely. nobody want to do it good to be an except perhaps substitute. nobody want to dictate to be an except perhaps. the last us press to be in an election was barack obama who intervened famously in the too far over. the last us press to be in an election was barack obama who intervened famously in the 20616 didn't brickworks a referendum you took told people to remain diverted to leave so it was counterproductive and that it diverted to leave so it was counterproductive and people resented it and people would resent trumps it doesn't can we talk a little bit about that and people will resent trumps it doesn't. can we talk

a little bit about the host of this show as well nigel farage because you are professor emeritus at l.s.e. host of this show as well nigel farage because you are professor emeritus at c.v. you also founded ukip but you later described it as frankenstein's monster you also founded ukip but you later described it as frankenstein's monster and nigel for are as a racist political failure so why do you think and nigel for are as a racist political failure so why do you think donald trump is so keen on fowler's . he probably doesn't move on the trump is so keen on fire out. it probably doesn't know very much a bite in the season as a fellow populist he seems to zing the fire out front to bite him he sees him as a fellow populist he seems to sing the pharaoh just won the 216 referendum words he didn't he was kept at arms won the 216 referendum words he didn't he was kept at

arm's length. thought boris johnson well i could go to the camps lens. boris johnson while i could go to the beach camp. with the people who did win it for a little part. of the people who did win it for a little part to play in it but he went along and told friends of trump and that he was a great man who played in it but he went along and told friends of trump that he was a great man who had wanted to trump apparently believes. he sees or a certain wanted to trump apparently believes that he sees or a fellow kind of populist in him someone who rants and raves and fellow kind of populist and i'm someone who rants and raves and isn't part of the early to tool that he bonds was or. isn't part of the early to tool that he bonds was

probably certainly seen a lot of photo ops between the turn them over the past couple of years probably certainly seen a lot of photo ops between the 2 of them over the past couple of years at the allen you've been calling for the u.k. to leave the e.u. for the past alan you've been calling for the u.k. to leave the e.u. for the past 30 years always what do you make of the way it's now happening and the people who are thinking 30 years away what do you make of the way it's now happening and the people who are leading the process well i hope it's happening like barroso i live in the process well i hope it's happening. i like boris i like marco i like don cummings i think the deal they got was the market i liked on cummings i think the deal they got was the e.u. is far from perfect and large parts will be do is far from perfect

and large parts will be changed closer to trade agreement if that can do casey it was but is change closer to trade agreement if that can do casey it was but is the best deal it's on offer and the only deal in the us on offer i think can the best deal is on offer and the only deal in the us on authorizing can that we should go for it and so i want boras to know that we should go for it and so i want boras to win an overall majority because that's what he's been lacking to get the deal accepted to win an overall majority because that's what he's been lacking to get the deal accepted. jeremy corben leader the labor party claims that donald trump jeremy corben leader the labor party claims that donald trump wants the u.s. wants u.s. companies to buy up parts of the n.h.s. if bracks wants the us wants us companies to buy up parts of the n.h.s.

government would have a lot of that so we're not saying this but no british government would have a lot of that so we won't say no and trade because sessions and boris's already said that the n.h.s. hello would trade to get sessions and doris is already said that the n.h.s. is not on offer so it's a scare brought up deliberately by the liberal to not or not for this so it's a scare brought up deliberately by the labor party which the popular then it says but it's just the score to which the popular then it says but it's just to scare me no tory government is actually going to do a corporate is talking about our scare me no tory government is actually going to do a corporate is talking a bar certainly money is one of those key things that people do attend c. hina know certainly money is one of those key things that people didn't attend c.
