simon just a quick question. i think that it's been truth certainly since the days of dw griffin that there have been people on all ends of the political spectrum both the left and the right to strongly articulating their viewpoints. what's happened in the last 20 or 30 years on the conservative side of the spectrum that has largely disappeared? why don't you hear from the conservatives any more? >> guest: my generation reason i thinks it was 1968 hollywood gradually switched over to become and it was a product of that of my generation but for a long time we all came to take over hollywood, so that's what happened. >> host: roger simon has been a guest for the most recent book i know best how moral narcissism is destroying the republic if it

to stop simon yates.e new 100 ball format is an ‘intriguing' iniative, but that ecb chairman colin graves is wrong in saying young people aren't interested in cricket. his comments come following his recent trip to india to promote the cricket world cup which is being held in england and wales next year. i think loads of young people are attracted to cricket and you can see it all the time. what we have got to do is make sure that more young people are attracted to cricket and here's another example of a big improvement over recent years which is that girls cricket now is as strong as boys cricket and there's a whole influx of people into playing the sport that even a generation ago simply was not happening because it was seen simply was not happening because it was seen as a boys simply was not happening because it was seen as a boys sport on me. that was seen as a boys sport on me. that was wrong. and it's changed. a former youth footballer who says he was sexually abused by former rangers youth coach,

simon: there are two schools of thought. is a lot of rhetoric and a bargaining position, laying out that you can't carry or have a bespoke deal for the whole of the u.k. versus the ivan rodriguez b and the view of many who have seen where the incentives lie and say actually, the regular three infrastructure of the european union is not going to accommodate a country that is leaving for a number of reasons, but not least because the message it sends in terms of contagion. also, the very strong view that the legal order must be maintained. ivan are just is saying that any attempt to find some third way is going to end up in failure. you have to make a decision. and to try and negotiate some sort of settlement, which means a whole political unraveling of the last two years, or you're out. the frictions of that will develop in terms of trade and cooperation with the agencies. the kind of scenario which the banks have talked about. guy: you bring up the bank. had to i price all of this into the markets? if the governor was here y
