the day go by by which he should have accepted the offer so they withdrew it gave it to me so as a sort of element of destiny in that was created from the press and the course of i've been for august like 5 his determination to pull you over the blues and the coincidence of the liam neeson rob roy film he could have ended up playing the unfortunate and wish king edward the 2nd who are the member came to a very sticky end so tell us what was your showbiz highlight well my favorite is the one actor hugh managed to pee in both the oberoi i'm braveheart and is now writing the crest of a wave and the hit show 6 action and this week he's just won the golden globe award for the best actor in a drama c.d.'s the connection between brian cox and his fictional character look and roy is of course that both hail from the city of 20 let's have another lick. by cause a let's start with a succession less sensation which storm for this year another scene is set up

for for next year and we've got in january and you play logan roy the reverse patrick head of the media family how difficult was that. difficult how difficult it is to be ruthless and petty archerd well i have children. and i know what it's like to be a father so that's that's part of it because you have twice wrecked out of the universe. and many many many visits back to the to the city but recently too to see the new victorian album orpen the the banks of the what's your 1st impressions of the v.n.a. and why that is tremendous you know i think that you know the goal always be the complete as in the mourners in my view but i i think it's not really their knowledge has been drawn with the guggenheim in buffalo and you think it will be as influential for the city done i've been going on and go but you know i think it could be him and i think it needs it's all the ancillary stuff that goes with it the business as well that's right and you know on the figures in terms of you know

who's going to come seems to be is doing quite well i think people are on it and the do you think with the idea of in a very working class city a score city iowa city and who is as well. but why isn't there a city like that in the strongly yes in the scottish referendum on independence strongly pro europe and the european level and them was the contrast between for example a city in the north of england which many of which i view of towards a no vote in the european left i think that's as i walk. it's the same thing that elected. trump in america i think really what happened was that there was a disaffection with politics and gundy is quite proud city because it is the u.s. city of scotland you know we were still very proud of our that was the biggest vote for all independence yeah in the scottish left and i absolutely had 14 and also it is not incompatible with our european nature because scotland generally is much

been much more europe conscious than england has it's just you know we're less than a 4 but with dots the nature of our being here want to gallatin in principle you know we have been tribal in our time but we really are egalitarian and we're very welcoming you know we love people coming to our country we welcome people and what county the best of times but also i think what happened there was this real what happened in the north was and you see it now i mean the braggs thing is such a mass really is a mass and you see the amount of treachery and self-serving that's going on with people like boris johnson and many of feudalist of the swallow going to roy bill is sort of it iraq and roy would be but kicked their asses from. yesterday i mean the wouldn't put up with a lot because they're just they're basically. divisive and self-serving in the wrong way and they don't serve the community this of themselves and i think that nots ironically that is what the they felt the north that they were being set

up so of course people like faraj wave the 5 of bragg's it and said well you know what it's blame the others blame them blame god that's what doesn't. of course even the hardworking bride caulks many rules are much features of the wonderful debbie arnold a lady who has appeared in just about every store bought books in the u.k. however when they became in with her daughters she was speaking not about the glitz and glamour but their efforts on the key issues of homelessness was universal credit you know it just takes 2 weeks for somebody to be turfed out of where they were living and i think the thing what don is doing with buses for the homeless is making little pods within london buses and that not only are they giving some people so much to live they're also bringing in people to you know rehabilitate them into society again to get them jobs to get back in their i mean i cannot imagine what it must be like to have had some of these people have been you know

wealthy had good jobs and now they have nothing they're ashamed that i want to go home i can't imagine what it must be like if it's must be an. adobe you've been involved in lisa lister slaughter was the killer so that shouldn't often be very proud of your daughters for sure we'll all be. your lesson trying to deliver practical help to people but i think that's the most important you know as they say you know give a man a fish eats for a day teach a man to fish and he it's the life we've got to bring people back to society and show them what to do i mean an i phone today is enough for you to make a living on it so you know something that you can do some people everyone that's homeless could really do something and make some money they just need to know how they need to be taught they need to be integrated back into society and i would and that is what don is doing and that's what we're trying to help. debbie is a powerhouse in everything and of course they say that politics is showbiz for

boring people that have been people who have made the transition of becoming boring or tall and are c.d.'s on the politics of protest we came across red thought as the artist who devised the seminal rock against racism campaign in the late 1970 s. or i read. that 40 years after its 1st launch rock against racism as a choir folklore status and become the template for many a little movements mobilized in the music industry to promote great causes but i'm joined by the man behind the list of red saunders to talk about protest and then no so rock against racism as we back to 1976 what was the genesis behind rock against racism is really simple thing it was an outburst by the guitar god eric clapton who made a completely racist outburst supporting a not powered concert in birmingham it was reported in the music press i was an old eric clapton fan i had all these records and everything and i was outraged because

that music is based on black music so i wrote a letter i wrote a letter proposing that we start a campaign against racism in music to bring black and white musicians together who rock against racism and that was in the new musical expression which was able of music and early america and sounds and black echoes and the left for us so out it that was it it's over this mass movement started with a letter a letter and i thought i really thought not much about it i mean i was angry so i wrote the letter and it was done i don't write letters very often you know and i didn't really think about it much and somebody called me up a result friend of mine who's a journalist and he called up and said oh he organized a p o box to replies to be addressed to he said there's 400 letters here i went what were you talking about that was it for the. for the viewers that this is long before the internet long before you mail your set up or a post box to get the response to an alley yes and these you see in those days you

set up a post box because you didn't put an individual address because if you did the n f would be far bombing your address these were dangerous times so we had set up a post box so we were stunned when we got and the letters were just amazing so what was your message back to the will i really wanted the banner i remember one particular letter from a young. school student a young girl in aberystwyth and she wrote the shit out of original letter melody maker and she said i've got a job graffiti choose a nazi and i hate racism i love music and you know what do i do and so i wrote a letter back to her as was the start of that time that was what has to happen i wrote a letter and it just said right susan you are rock against racism aberystwyth get on with it and one of the things that came out of it as well was the people who were at the center of rock all sixty's people who'd been through the sixty's and been through vietnam solidarity love ins hippie dope everything we did so they had

some experience of organizing things and putting on festivals and gigs so it wasn't totally new to them but there was a concert. that you saw where the good look where we are having started well at are unbelievable i mean when we did the victoria park carnival with steel pass and came out dressed in the 78 i was 78 so we had the clash who were the leading political punk band of the time we had tom robinson was that time just had the hit with sing if you're glad to be gay so you had all the politics not just racism but everything about oppression was mixed up steel pulse came on stage black regular band from hands with in birmingham came on stage dressed include klux klan outfits and sang this song klu klux klan i was just incredible. so that he had police star in there who has passed away sadly as you send the incredible song. you was as

a young punk feminist and i remember running out and so i was comparing the gig and i remember running out on to stage and i just was overwhelmed with the amount of people and i just screamed this ain't no woodstock this is the carnival against the nazis and the crowd just went wore out and it just carried us through the rest of the day. red selling to as one of the all time great campaigners but joined us after the break when we had a few how we dealt with politics last year with what alex is very fond of calling artistic just parno all political pundits join us the. reality has mandates of its own that go beyond what our wishes and preferences are . and our utopian visions maybe we're going to get a new deal but it may not be the green new deal that people are expecting will get

the green new deal that we have we deserve rarely think we are going to get a green new deal because the green you're dealing compas is things beyond just right infrastructure health care is in the new deal there are other elements if you go back 20 to start in 2006 that we are going to get and that are popular in this country. but if she warned you post the budget and i do. dishes at the balls more than those . in your speech see me we need to you. know when you're. in the news that means that in fact involve. a lot of people as it fights to kids it's out to both sides. but as it is to me as if. the.

last. cabinet they would be doing. if. you. would include in. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the death. or a mate in the shallows. welcome back alex a narrative being some of our top sure some 2019 breaks it provided most of the coffee but we also took a look at the new eat up political commentary by interviewing some of the top 10 political bloggers yes the top bloggers know mitt the political weather in the way the days gone by it may have been an editorial in the types this is so craig mundie slogan or 2 and wins over scott would explain the past or back to the hugely successful blog. so tell me about this rev a business under dog collar what's what's all about yeah that's an old one i mean partly it's just a it's just a bit of fun it really winds some people up but i do the regionally store in doing it because firstly just to make myself easier find on the internet because

obviously camels are a really common name the millions people if you start to steer a camel there's there was a scotland rugby player a footballer there's a famous canoeist there's a famous gynecologist of all sorts people so by becoming reverends to come on the only one of the let's dispense with the dog food of the universe press that you were in past meeting a good revenue. thing we've got quite often with them as i did the windsor with scott would get started well yeah i mean you see after the after the the s.n.p. majority in 2011 it was all be said was going to be a referendum on a member of the and i've been in and i've been an independence guy all my life my dad used to work for billy wolfe the former leader of the s.n.p. in bathgate because i want to make a contribution obviously i couldn't go knocking on doors and stuff so i thought to somebody could knock on the doors and buff well yeah it was interesting deception there's not all of what's to be one way or the unfortunately so yeah so i decided

to do it online and i tried very brief i looked for other scottish politics websites and there weren't really any very good ones i briefly wrote for one that was run by a variety of people from various parties but i wrote one article for them and i made a sort of joke in one of the comments and was immediately ostracized and they saw and i thought don't go on i'm going to do this myself the 1st question is obvious what you slug it with tools well it started off as a letter to slow ruto that was the full title of a sliver of a turtle is a character out of a song an old irish song i was rulebooks sure over the line in that song goes it's peace and nonsense but it's. krak lang goes slower with total who was drunk as a royal and there are the original notion was that trying to explain northern ireland was a bit like trying to explain anything to a drunk mom you had to kind of divvy it up in small amounts you have to be prepared

to repeat yourself over and over and you have to be prepared to take a very long time and that was 17 years ago and i have to say than think it was going to take this long but there it is we're still going strong how do you get the other way on the floor of the way in the next. broke well you never know in northern irish politics when the next run is going to come or indeed when the last straw is going to be served at the moment it's pretty thin pickens the same least i know for 2 years though wonderfully nobody else than in the rest of the whole of the united kingdom seems to have noticed but you know there's always talks around the corner that whatever whatever falls over seems to we do seem to be able to get it back up again moved to say we're going to start a blog i was going to be a no no there's both x. i have considered getting involved in there and in a run in the time of the good friday agreement things seem to be getting exciting but in a good way this conflict been going on for most of 1989 i was 10 years of age

and 10 years of age don't know what's going on except the place that you've grown up and it seemed to be the most boring political backwater that a god ever invented suddenly became the focus of all this kind of world politics and the inflict the eroded by well i grew up in a small town it's belfast called hollywood which was a mixed community very close to belfast. and i mean so much so that when the bombs went off you could hear it but you could hear at a distance many of the things you write about your advocacy discussion the better us you know have you bub. as a pretty pretty throw and scott allowed to pay ups but actually you were born and. i wasn't it i was born down in norfolk my father's remember. was posted down there in the air force where he made a local go and settle down for a while so i'm i'm half scots and half english and born in the thick of going

politics pretty early age. reading a cadence of your life was a generally thought then the leader of the liberal party of all of all generally thought the his private sector received the electorate in the porch because that's what they did at least isn't the gist of the run up to the fair been for the likes of what was are but that's right i decided i was a liberal. i think 14 years old and we didn't have a candidate in north norfolk we didn't have a constituency association so i voted german for parking him to send a candidate and his private secretary who was richard moore opened the letter and having no constituency himself helped on the train and came to fight the election when he arrived and found the to a young teenager was what more than a constituency association he was where you actually go i was just 15 earthing it

was fascinating to note that after the season online bloggers they faced think he's on this show saw it into the hundreds of fans yes indeed their last year were the breaks that did new morning we decided to give no regular panel of pundits to tell us what was going to happen and asked to be said from the top leadership stakes to the customer selection itself or prestigious panel did not let us down anyone who followed their political purpose would have come up with more winners the losers. were considering this this new research royal ascot the leadership state. what do you qualities do you require to. as the winner of this race. well it's very like studying the the results of any race you have to look at. a form over a course and distance class look at the ownership the trainers you've got

to make all of these assessments can they cope with the going of they've been taking any noxious substances all of these that matters need to be taken into account the main breck's cakes was that this westminster parliament was meant to be so pretty against a somewhat mythologized view of the european union to then abolish that very parliament to get through brics it i think will be a not too far but when you say can these disparate people unite around their opposition to that without hesitation yes all the debates are about the mechanisms how do you stop a government from doing such a thing how do you stop a government determined to go out with a no deal that that's what happens. but are they theoretically united to stop the progress of parliament and to stop no deal yes and i think the sense of that will intensify over the coming weeks rather than the opposite the but they can't agree

on a vote of confidence they don't agree that the leader of the opposition jeremy called and should become short term prime minister but they do agree on these other matters and they will find a way i think to make that absolutely clear i think the logic of this situation where you have a minority prime minister trying to force his will over a parliament which disagrees of him is the natural the natural outcome of that would be an election we are in a parliamentary democracy nobody could object to that. and i'm joined from glasgow by the doyen of scottish political journalism a woman who's been covering scottish elections. so last kerwin tunnel action of 1000 sum to 4 i'm delighted to be joined by roof wishart i'm not sure i'm delighted to be carbon dated clay that alex ruth the departed the main party leader says gemma carbon bought us johnson of both bin and scotland but neither of us that was

an annoyed success no atoll in fact boris johnson has taken a leaf out of the trees i'm a pre-book and he's been going round in kind of hermetically sealed pore c.c. i mean he went into distillery but ordinary air only journalists and author of people were allowed in there was no punters unload into ask him questions and when somebody remonstrated with them from the press corps he said well you're a voter aren't you so he sees is being kept well away from anything resembling the electorate and jeremy corbyn well jimmy cloven came up and b i had a lot of difficulty 1st of all he changed his pitch on a 2nd independence referendum 3 times the space of 2 days which is never much of a good look and then he is using terrorism so no i don't think they'll look back with fondness and they're scottish so join the liberals and labor would get their act together much more that they're fighting each other they obviously hate each other more than the they hate the tories which is quite unusual. and to the left

there hasn't been anything like a romane or alliance which i thought might develop and then on the other side we've seen what i'm quite convinced although it's conflicting signals that there's been some form of deal between the bread the fire arjun and the tories which means that the breakthrough frett to the tory voters has really capsized a little bit what was your point you said that if there was such a deal that it would be plain sailing for potus johnson but it might go for i says it was a unilateral deal with the much of a deal when he withdraws these candidates and and doesn't think for it well i was right about the deal and whether it's you know lunch or or behind closed doors it doesn't matter what far as has done as given is given the. the tories a clear run in $317.00 seats now there's still a slight problem here because in some of the other marginal seats the far as threat could still be something of a problem but find launch they've got that clear run there is another deal as well which we've forgotten about the lib dems the greens and clyde come with us

nationalists but that's virtually irrelevant only apply country where expecting to win many seats and can't for example and so as a result of that we've got the exact deal i thought was necessary to get the conservatives the overall majority was a project of the last time at the start of the campaign we had a discussion here and there because predicted that boris johnson would win quite easily and i said no i think it's quite likely to be a hung parliament and i have to say that so far he's been true ved more than a bit more gifted and the forecast of the me i mean the 2 things which are of happened to change my mind is one the failure of anything like a remain alliance the retina let the left is fighting each other and secondly the there's the substance of the bricks party and so no say the chances are you have a fairly easy boris johnson majority and then will leave the european union a few weeks after that but could you be wrong again. could it be

a good move to half your person of course i could be wrong again. are you hoping to be rolled into i think what would be best for this country is a hung parliament yes. i pad it was more or less thought odd but then lots of people forecast the election is out but next to nobody forecast this christmas cracker but want to watch is just winston's own seat she needs to remember what happened to nick clegg in sheffield how and when he was leader and he lost. and that's just how it led but opec became the official mystic meg of our election programs and sort us what's coming up in this new to keep well next week we'll be picking up on one of the undeserved issues of the election the constitutional future of scotland and then we return to the a biting issue of homelessness we feature both making practical efforts to help the homeless on the streets of london i look at an academic effort to address this most

intractable with social problems so from a 1000000000 all at the show it's good bye for now. in a world of big. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell. we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for
