Yes, same middle initial. Thats right. Hamas chief lives in British Council house. So a fugitive who ran the groups terrorist operations in the west bank was given a british passport and has recently bought a home with £112,000 discount. You can buy a lot of narrowboats for that. So some of us are a bit bitter about that. So this guy, he hes he came to the uk on a fake sorry, not a fake. A borrowed passport bought. So he really shouldnt in shouldnt have been here in the first place. And then saying here recently as 2019, he here as recently as 2019, he took part in official hamas delegation to moscow, where he met Vladimir Putins Deputy Foreign hes the foreign minister. So hes the real deal. This isnt a this isnt a mistake. Right. Its unbelievable. I mean, how is he here . I mean, normally you shouldnt be able to get a passport if you have if for anyone that incites justifies or glorifies terrorist violence , it seems like were violence, it seems like were pretty much this guys expertise is. So has he got around it because hes part of the political of yeah political wing of hamas . Yeah thats it like. Thats what it seems like. Like, oh, no, it was like, oh, no, no. Were im working for the were were im working for the political side of it. So i dont get the strike against my name. Get the strike against my name. Ive never even met the military were completely military side. Were completely separate. Same separate. Same name, same everything. Yeah. Except everything. Yeah. Except theyve got postcode for any got guns, same postcode for any official letters, but were totally the how is the totally separate the how is the headune . Just not oops, this is just such an embarrassment, isnt it . And winding people there and winding people up that there are people who cant are so many people who cant get on ladder hear on the housing ladder to hear that should have been that what you should have been doing doing of doing is maybe doing a bit of hamas work. Its also proof that working can working from home really can lead things remote lead to bad things remote working. Mean , i know jacob working. I mean, i know Jacob Rees Mogg doesnt like the idea of it, but it really can go worse working from, of it, but it really can go worsknow, working from, of it, but it really can go worsknow, working rking from, of it, but it really can go worsknow, working from from, of it, but it really can go worsknow, working from your, you know, working from your spare room. Yes. Well, im glad youve got a light hearted take on but it light hearted take on it, but it is. To try. With is. Youve got to try. And with this is it is a this show. But it is it is a total humiliation. Its totally its insult, really to its an insult, really to british people. 112,000 discount. Mortgage british people. 112,000 discouihouse. Mortgage british people. 112,000 discouihouse. Mean mortgage british people. 112,000 discouihouse. Mean,nortgage british people. 112,000 discouihouse.

Do we get rid of these people . Thats not the bit you should be angry about, though. I be really angry about, though. I guess the work for guess it would be. The work for hamas be his worst trait hamas should be his worst trait rather than hes got rather than hes not got a mortgage. Rather than hes not got a mo whats. Rather than hes not got a mo what i is insult to what i mean is its insult to injury. I think were all accepting the work of hamas accepting that the work of hamas is part and its is the main part and its dangerous. Mean, he lives dangerous. I mean, he lives near synagogues. Kind synagogues. Its just kind of yeah, picked worst area yeah, hes picked the worst area to go to, hasnt he . Heaviest its like the heaviest population people, population of jewish people, i think, our country. Yeah. Population of jewish people, i thirfifth our country. Yeah. Population of jewish people, i thirfifth of r country. Yeah. Population of jewish people, i thirfifth of the untry. Yeah. Population of jewish people, i thirfifth of the entire yeah. Population of jewish people, i thirfifth of the entire jewish fifth of the entire Jewish Population and he population live in barnet and he gets there. Im sure gets a house there. Im sure theyre delighted. All right. Yeah. Appalling. All right. What the front of the what is on the front page of the observer, steve . Us Holding Israel from us Holding Israel back from strike is strike against hezbollah this is this one. This strike against hezbollah this is th about one. This strike against hezbollah this is th about not one. This strike against hezbollah this is th about not escalatingle. This strike against hezbollah this is th about not escalating further is about not escalating further and not trying to fight a war on two which historically two fronts, which historically doesnt go well. I suppose would be one way of looking at it. This the us stepping in and this is the us stepping in and also rishi involved and also rishi getting involved and trying there being trying to stop there being a striking hezbollah, bringing trying to stop there being a stranother hezbollah, bringing trying to stop there being a stranother sideiollah, bringing trying to stop there being a stranother side. Wllah, bringing trying to stop there being a stranother side. I. Ah, bringing trying to stop there being a stranother side. I dontinging trying to stop there being a stranother side. I dontiragree in another side. I dont i agree with not escalating and also you can understand from the point of view of america especially, you dont want it to escalate. The only theyve been only time theyve ever been involved any big wars involved in any of the big wars is its escalated and they is when its escalated and they get it. Of get dragged into it. So of course, they keep things course, they want to keep things contained. Its right not to contained. But its right not to want war two want to have a war on two fronts. If read in the fronts. If you read in the article, israel dont want article, even israel dont want article, even israel dont want a war on two fronts. So maybe this is more pressure this is more about this pressure to something. But if to try and do something. But if you the reticence on you could blame the reticence on the then maybe you can have the us, then maybe you can have no escalation without any political downside from doing nothing. I what you yeah of i see what you mean. Yeah of course. Theres always to course. Theres always going to be the hawks. Going to be the hawks. Theres going to be the hawks. Theres going to be such horrific be emotion after such a horrific attack. Were attack. But yeah, i mean, were not in a position or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a position or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in in a position or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a n a position or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a positiontion or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a position tot or us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a position to do us attack. But yeah, i mean, were ncnot in a position to do this. Is not in a position to do this. I economically, theyre in i mean, economically, theyre in massive going massive debt. How are they going to these multiple wars . To fund all these multiple wars . And what do you think . No, and what do you think . Well, no, i agree. Mean, its. Well, its i mean, its. Well, and its not even limited, is it . When you start a war, you dont know. The skys limit on the the skys the limit on the spending. The skys the limit on the spendi lg. The skys the limit on the spendi i g. Know the skys the limit on the spendi lg. Know whether agree. I dont know whether anything will change when netanyahu goes. Mean, i keep netanyahu goes. I mean, i keep reading in Israel Netanyahu goes. I mean, i keep re absolutely in Israel Netanyahu goes. I mean, i keep re absolutely with israel is absolutely fed up with him and that hes on his way out as soon the next soon as they have the next opportunity. Know. Opportunity. I dont know. Times like but then theres times like this is when people kind of all get government. So get behind the government. So when will you be when will they be him at a time be to get rid of him at a time when seems you can have when it seems like you can have some turmoil instead of some internal turmoil instead of having enemy . Having a common enemy . Yeah. I ive right. Yeah. And i also ive got would we have got to say again, would we have any this trump . Mean, any of this with trump . I mean, the trump, we the deterrent of trump, we really Strong America to really want a Strong America to be a deterrent because once these started, its these wars have started, its much want to much more difficult. You want to put you had the put them off. You had the democrats this democrats coming up with this russia meant russia hoax thing, which meant that strike that trump couldnt strike a deal with putin on trade. Then you i dont know. Ive got you had i dont know. Ive got im getting soapbox again im getting on my soapbox again about suddenly about youre just suddenly disagreeing with everything. But anyway, pro trump rant. Anyway, i made a pro trump rant. But sunday but lets do the sunday telegraph crescent. Telegraph crescent. Sunday telegraph, okay. The sunday telegraph, bbc sees israel reporting failures are a danger to jews. Claims ex executive. So this guy danny cohen, who used to work for the bbc, doesnt anymore, has writing about this kind has been writing about this kind of anti israel bias that we talked about previously on this show. He says that the bbcs show. He says that the bbcs failures over its reporting of the recent the supposed bomb at the recent the supposed bomb at the hospital in the gaza strip, which turned out probably not to be a bomb. As we know, the bbc just rushed in and referred to it. Hes talking about rush judgement over the explosion at the hospital when it announced without qualification that israel was responsible for the explosion an and tragic loss of life and of course then other news outlets up on that news outlets picked up on that because we tend to trust the bbc. This is calling that bbc. But this is calling that into question, isnt it . Yeah i think it is dangerous. And of course, what theyve done now, theyve sort of backtracked a little bit and theyve up this theyve come up with this ridiculous are theyve come up with this ridic calling are theyve come up with this ridic calling proscribed as now calling hamas proscribed as a Terror Organisation by the uk government others, is government and others, which is a weird kind passive a really weird kind of passive aggressive like some people say theyre terrorists. Like why cant just call them cant you just call them terrorists . But thats the thing with the bbc come up with a guide. Its all about guidelines. Therell guidelines therell be so many guidelines because theyre therell be so many guidelines becausetheyre organisation because theyre an organisation that requires there be that large requires there to be an large book of an annoyingly large book of lists things to so you lists of things to do. So you come up with an idea that works generically, should bbc generically, that should the bbc take in saying take a voice in saying we are calling this group terrorist for any concept that you can come up with an argument for . Oh, no, actually, its better to just quote other people saying it. But get into the but then when you get into the individual times theyre individual times when theyre not terrorists, individual times when theyre not people terrorists, individual times when theyre not people say terrorists, individual times when theyre not people say , terrorists, individual times when theyre not people say , oh, rorists, individual times when theyre not people say , oh, looks, the then people say, oh, look at the bias. They calling bias. Why arent they calling these because these people terrorists . Because of their bland generic rule that they think would work. But it doesnt interesting doesnt work. Its interesting to the sunday to note that the sunday telegraph is the one calling it bias, whereas danny cohen saying its the bbc failure in the reporting. Thats true. The reporting. And thats true. The failure in the reporting is there. The bbc surely would admit that probably have admit that and probably have some jumping some investigation in jumping from failure in reporting to bias is actually bias. Well, yes, the bbc have defended themselves , saying in defended themselves, saying in amongst thousands of hours of new news broadcasts and there will always be some errors. But you question whether its you do question whether its bias. Youre just to bias. Youre just bound to you because people suspect because what people suspect about already and about the bbc already and certain biases have, we all certain biases they have, we all sort of know roughly what they think. Think. Its our own biases like availability, and availability, bias and confirmation. Bias means that right even right now were not even thinking the errors thinking about all the errors they made in reporting things that look like have that might look like they have an we dont an anti palestine view. We dont were not talking about those because we cant them because we cant see them right now. Think theres bias. Now. So we think theres bias. Convinced. Now. So we think theres bias. The convinced. Now. So we think theres bias. The problem nced. Now. So we think theres bias. The problem is ed. Now. So we think theres bias. The problem is that theyre at the top of the tree, arent they . Thats the theyre the apex thats apex predator. Reporter thats not great. That is actually correct. Is down, it . Correct. Is down, doesnt it . Thats hes making. Thats the point hes making. Yeah. I the bbc have yeah. I think the bbc have been but been terrible on this. But anyway, is part one. Anyway, that is it for part one. But coming up, a tube driver gets far too creative a love island contestant considers becoming nhs becoming an mp and the nhs wastes some money. Sure how wastes some money. Not sure how thats a story, but see youre listening to gb news radio. Welcome radio. Welcome back to headliners.

People with particular people with this particular view emboldened view have been emboldened to be quite radical and quite aggressive. Youve got bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem. Youve got bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem tacitlye got bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem tacitly to ot bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem tacitly to be bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem tacitly to be on bbc quite radical and quite aggrseem tacitly to be on their who seem tacitly to be on their side in opinion. Channel side. In my opinion. Channel 4 seems on their side in my seems to be on their side in my opinion. Youve the usual opinion. Youve got the usual woke steve woke celebrities like steve coogan, you want to coogan, whatever you want to call whether woke call them, whether theyre woke or not, writing an annoying open letter on this side. Letter very much on this side. So saying so theres no cost to saying this. Very safe its this. Its like a very safe its like lockdowns. Its like supporting lockdowns. Its become very safe thing to become just a very safe thing to say and somehow more say and somehow being more pro israel the low pro israel has become the low status the binary of status opinion in the binary of the thats my take. The culture war. Thats my take. Do . Do you agree . I think its really no, no. I think its a really interesting have interesting one, which id have to about the nuances of to think about the nuances of all that before i agree or disagree. Because look. Yeah disagree. Because look. Yeah some people could be sat on that tube feeling really attacked in that moment. For me, it that moment. But but for me, it is about you shouldnt be is its about you shouldnt be doing in the workplace. Its doing it in the workplace. Its not platform you should be not a platform you should be abusing. That abusing. Whod have thought that actually abusing. Whod have thought that actl platform. Abusing. Whod have thought that actlplatform. Its going to get say platform. Its going to get confusing there confusing because there are platforms already involved in trains. The that youve trains. But the fact that youve got microphone turn got a microphone shouldnt turn it into another place to protest. Should it into another place to protaken should it into another place to protaken aback should it into another place to protaken aback by should it into another place to protaken aback by how should it into another place to protaken aback by how how1ould be taken aback by how how enthusiast the passengers were as well, which would make that seem like a very aggressive situation. I think there may have been a few people there who werent have been a few people there who werthey might have. Yeah. Have been a few people there who werandv might have. Yeah.

To kick theyre spreading the anger to are in the same way. But kick theyre spreading the anger to are in the same way. But ikick theyre spreading the anger to are in the same way. But i dont off in the same way. But i dont think solution here is to think the solution here is to try ban being used, try and ban a word being used, which article kind of leans which this article kind of leans towards saying, oh, the met which this article kind of leans towardsay ying, oh, the met which this article kind of leans towardsay you, oh, the met which this article kind of leans towardsay you can, the met which this article kind of leans towardsay you can shout let which this article kind of leans toward say you can shout that, police say you can shout that, but not about the words. Because we just dont say because weve of agreed we weve all kind of agreed that we dont. I think dont. Yeah, but i think by banning wouldnt banning jihad, wouldnt the word jihad mean as andrew jihad banning mean as andrew doyle said, i think in book doyle said, i think in his book as well, not the word. As well, its not the word. Its when its used. Its when and use it when you take a word and use it as a weapon to incitement. So its not about free speech. Its the word. Youre using word its not about free speech. Its thnthatd. Youre using word its not about free speech. Its thnthat contexte using word its not about free speech. Its thnthat contexte usi|weapon. Er its not about free speech. Its thnthat contexte usi|weapon. And in that context as a weapon. And it be a speech issue it ceases to be a speech issue and becomes an incitement issue. And already look and that is we can already look for we can already do. I mean, police already i mean, the police already should doing more. Should be doing more. Point that. I take your point on that. Part incitement the part of incitement is the proximity of proximity to the site of violence. Its how immediate it is how whether it directly is and how whether it directly leads slightly leads to violence. So slightly complicated leads to violence. So slightly corcomplicated as making it as complicated as making it sound, lets do sound, i would argue. Lets do the and a love the sunday mirror and a love island contestant is considering running labour although running as a labour mp, although apparently running as a labour mp, although applmight be overqualified. She might be overqualified. Question fair enough. What did. Very nice, georgia harrison has has serious conversation about running as labour party mp. So i didnt know anything about this lady. I cant say ive ever seen love island, but ive ever seen love island, but i am familiar with. I know, i know the concept. Know it know the concept. I know what it is. Like the is. Its. Its like the Headliners Team all going on a lovely holiday and seeing what . No, hope not no, its not. I hope its not like think its. I think like that. I think its. I think its even worse. Anyway, she, she in a relationship she ended up in a relationship with this chap whose name is something bear like stephen bear and hes a bit of a wrongun because he has committed , what, because he has committed, what, revenge against her. And at first, you know, theres always that feeling when you think, oh god, dont send people videos. Thats not happened at all. Thats not what happened at all. There was cctv in his house. What a wrongun isnt that just horrific . Some horrific . Hes now serving some jail to the r. Kellys about that . Yeah, its no. Its just theres no. I have. No, im not. Im not interested in his side of that argument. Thats so hes argument. Thats not on. So hes now serving time in prison and because she got very involved in changing the laws around this as a of what happened to a result of what happened to her, shes now got an her, shes now kind of got an appetite for politics. And i thought, well, good for her. Its. But it turns its not convinced. But it turns out of work has out that some of her work has contributed to the Online Safety bill thats where she lost bill and thats where she lost me a bit. Exactly. Yeah. Shes bringing shes safety shes helping the Online Safety bill, be this bill, which is going to be this draconian, overzealous bill. Im show. Steve, i mean, maybe show. But steve, i mean, maybe this option. Now weve got this is an option. Now weve got matt with politics matt hancock with the politics to reality show path. Why not the other right. The other way right. Have it the other id rather have it the other way, yeah. Matt way, actually. Yeah. If matt hancock if somehow hancock would not be if somehow the result this is we dont the result of this is we dont see more hancock. Yeah. See any more matt hancock. Yeah. Sign up for a slice that. Sign me up for a slice of that. I dont having move i dont know. Having celebs move into politics, this could help get people interested in politics, especially for people of certain age who dont seem of a certain age who dont seem to all. But you look at to care at all. But you look at the work that shes done. Look, i youve issues with i know youve got issues with some the Online Safety some parts of the Online Safety bill, some parts of it you bill, but some parts of it you might some like, for might like, some like, for example, having laws that mean people get six months in people can get six months in pnson people can get six months in prison sharing a picture of prison for sharing a picture of you not think they you nude. Do you not think they should be in trouble for that . If they were doing it to deliberately dont deserve to see right. If they see that youre right. If they if they were doing it to embarrass they could get up embarrass you, they could get up to things are to two years. Those things are right. Did need right. I think we did need that law change because the laws were made before everyone had smartphones you smartphones in the old days. You want to do revenge, youve got to down snappy snaps and by to nip down snappy snaps and by a is good a lot of stamps. So it is good that things have been updated. Youre sort like you see, youre sort of like an Online Safety bill salesman there. Like there. Steve, youre like well dressed man. Smoothly recommending Online Safety recommending the Online Safety bill dont totally recommending the Online Safety bill you, dont totally recommending the Online Safety bill you, shelljtally recommending the Online Safety bill you, shell probably trust you, but shell probably be than and be better than sultana and butler. All going butler. Thats all im going to say. Its very arnold schwarzenegger, say. Its very arnold schwarzl of zgger, say. Its very arnold schwarzl of celebs say. Its very arnold schwarzlof celebs in politics. Sort of celebs in politics. Yeah yeah, right. And that yeah, youre right. And that wasnt a good it wasnt really a good example. It didnt well. It didnt work out well. Did it really, arnie . Yeah, i preferred him conan than when was a him as conan than when he was a democrat, wasnt a democrat, wasnt it . He wasnt a democrat, wasnt it . He wasnt a democrat, wasnt it . He wasnt a democrat, was a kind democrat, but he was just a kind of environment that kind of obsessed. Thats obsessed. He went, woke. Thats what went what im claiming. Arnie went woke lets the woke classic. Lets do the sunday telegraph the number sunday telegraph and the number of staff with 100 of retired nhs staff with 100 pensions has doubled in three years. I take back all that clapping that i didnt actually do. Enough. Clapping that i didnt actually do. Yeah, enough. Clapping that i didnt actually do. Yeah, its enough. Clapping that i didnt actually do. Yeah, its atiough. Clapping that i didnt actually do. Yeah, its at £2. 31. Clapping that i didnt actually do. Yeah, its at £23 trillion yeah, its at £23 trillion now. The Public Sector pensions is the single largest liability that the government has. But the telegraphs got an agenda here, so we should actually realise that weve changed topics. So its retired nhs workers and then at this huge number then look at this huge number that includes loads more people than just the nhs workers overall, nhs paid 11 billion to its pensioners, which is a lot smaller than 2. 3 trillion. So just bear that in mind. I mean the article actually does, it does a things and its more does a few things and its more nuanced its more balanced does a few things and its more nuanyoud its more balanced does a few things and its more nuanyoud its rrpossiblynced than youd expect. Possibly in part, does say, though, that part, it does say, though, that the good quality pensions, these great pensions that people in the sector get are often the Public Sector get are often overlooked when pay deals are being discussed. Are they sure thats the first noise we ever hear . As soon as someones talking nurses pay deal, talking about nurses pay deal, well mention how good well, people mention how good the are and are the pensions are and they are fantastic. If retire, if you fantastic. If you retire, if you had really good and you had a really good job and you retire average pension, retire on an average pension, average salary, its average salary, pension, its good money. But in here they do point out there are some people who cant those who cant afford those contributions. Lower down the who cant afford those conlscalenns. Lower down the who cant afford those conlscale. Its lower down the who cant afford those conlscale. Its alwer down the who cant afford those conlscale. Its a 13. 5 own the who cant afford those conlscale. Its a 13. 5 pension pay scale. Its a 13. 5 pension contribution out of your pay packet, whereas in the private sector its about 5. So if you cant afford to live , you are cant afford to live, you are thinking, actually ill opt out of scheme. There are of this scheme. So there are people but its people opting out. But its hard for this is the for lefties because this is the nhs which we have to love. But this is pensioners which we have to rich. So i really to say are too rich. So i really dont know what say. To say are too rich. So i really dor nickow what say. To say are too rich. So i really dor nick poorhat say. To say are too rich. So i really dor nick poor leftiessay. To say are too rich. So i really dor nick poor lefties crested. Nick poor lefties crested. Any thoughts . Its great that its i think its great that its in paper and being talked in the paper and being talked about dont think it about because i dont think it is very is talked about very much, certainly young certainly not by young people who say, dont need who who say, i dont need a pension ill do it later. Pension now. Ill do it later. Lets talk about it. Well lets lets talk about it. Well ive i lets lets talk about it. Well pve isay lets lets talk about it. Well ive i say shut the ive got bupa so i say shut the whole thing down. Do sunday and lets do the sunday times and the nhs are in trouble for a £96,000 diversity advert. Was it dunng £96,000 diversity advert. Was it during or during the super bowl or something . I did. Something . Consider what i did. Theyre quite clever. Chiefs did spend nhs hospital chiefs did spend £96,000 diversity job advert and that that really is the whole story right there. So Steve Barclays come out and criticised this he said current live adverts include jobs with salaries up to £96,000, which is above the basic full time pay for a newly promoted consultant. I mean, thats a bit of an insult, isnt it, if youve gone to medical school and now somebodys doing this, i mean, i dont know exactly what they do for but but making for a living, but but making sure the right sure youve hired the right number of people in the right colours, seem colours, that doesnt seem like something worth something thats thats worth nearly shocked nearly £100,000. Are you shocked at that . I mean, theyd get great i mean, theyd get a great pension end of that as pension at the end of that as well. If you take average average salary. What i like average salary. What i like about article of the about this article is all of the people who are disagreeing with the criticism simply saying the criticism are simply saying diversity good. But the diversity is good. But the criticism is dont need criticism is you dont need individuals to do this. Theyve got of managers in the got a tonne of managers in the nhs on desk. If nhs put it on their desk. If youre charge of in youre in charge of people in the nhs, should also keep the nhs, you should also keep your diversity. If thats your eye on diversity. If thats one your goals, and therefore one of your goals, and therefore that into some that 96 grand could go into some machines that save people. Yeah. Plus to me theyre all yeah. Plus to me theyre all defending this defending it, saying this ensures treatment and ensures fair treatment and opportunity for everyone. We already called already had that. It was called meritocracy. Is meritocracy. What this is equity, i. E. Communism. That is all weve got time for in that section. Coming up, why section. But coming up, why generation 2 are afraid of everything . And emily blunt apologises for a decade old joke. Just a normal day in 2023. See radio. Welcome back to headliners. Lets do the observer now with a story, ironically, about some fairly aggressive observers giving precedence. Giving precedence. Uk government keeping files on teaching assistants and librarians, internet activities. Librarians, internet activities. Getty so the uks government are monitoring these people quite closely. So we did a story a few weeks ago about some people being monitored in education who are a bit higher up the food chain sort of experts, but its now going this level of now going down to this level of like people that really dont expect to be monitored and theyre happy about it. So theyre not happy about it. So these librarians and Teaching Staff have theyve theyre starting to request the information about them, which theyre able to see. And sometimes theres like pages and pages what theyve pages about what theyve been doing it that doing online and it seems that the department for education is interested to whos interested to see whos been criticised. Policies, which criticised. Our policies, which is, yeah, outrageous isnt it . That was the outrageous part when we did this last time, i my theory that they trying theory was that they were trying to scandals whereby to avoid future scandals whereby someone speaks at one of their events everyone says, events and then everyone says, why have awful why did you have this awful speaker what in speaker look what they said in 1997. And they were just 1997. And so they were just going through very thoroughly. Not that that excused it, though. Steve . I dont think thats how theyve it because you theyve used it because you think, are they using think, okay, what are they using this data for . Its really easy to now, the fact to collect data now, the fact that got page that theyve got a 60 page dossier someone actually dossier on someone actually could of could just be a whole lot of tweets, which they could automate but automate something to get. But the scary thing they have the scary thing is they have used a used it. They there was a speaken used it. They there was a speaker, an that they speaker, an event that they didnt noticed she didnt they noticed that she was critical policies. Critical of the policies. So basically wouldnt fund basically said we wouldnt fund this going to this event. If youre going to have this speaker. So they are using silence and using it to silence dissent. And this kind of this is this government kind of has of thinking has the attitude of thinking theyre and any theyre special and that any dissenting must dissenting voice must fundamentally be wrong and silenced. And thats not it silenced. And thats not it would be great if there were actual conservatives. What happens is its the Civil Service running everything. The blob. Would always bad , steve it would always be bad, wouldnt it . Steve it would always be bad, wothaving . Government having a government that thinks silence thinks that you should silence dissenting lead to dissenting voices wont lead to anything had anything being better. If we had anything being better. If we had a conservative government that was roger was following like Roger Scruton and about making and was all about like making things beautiful and being nationalistic, so good. And then they could just be as authoritarian as as. Its as authoritarian as as as. Its ridiculous. It wouldnt as authoritarian as as as. Its ridiculous. It wouldnt make sense. Youre steve. Sense. Youre right, steve. It is thing. I was just is a bad thing. I was just messing which messing around, which i shouldnt a very shouldnt do. Its a very serious lets do mail serious story. Lets do the mail and continue to bid and generation 2 continue to bid for generation ever. For weakest generation ever. Steve says how times have steve it says how times have changed. Generation 2 now want parents to track their location using their phones to make them feel safe from abductions or terror attacks. Theres an app that its called life 360, which sounds more like the prison sentence. It is. It lets your sentence. It is. It lets your parents know exactly where you are, what speed youre travelling at, the deceleration in case youve been involved in a crash. And they say these young people say makes them young people say it makes them feel anxious. You feel less anxious. Surely you should anxious that feel less anxious. Surely you sh01might anxious that feel less anxious. Surely you sh01might never anxious that feel less anxious. Surely you sh01might never anxioboobat feel less anxious. Surely you sh01might never anxioboob if you might never see a boob if youre sneaking off, youre youre not sneaking off, youre not a life. Theres a 16 not having a life. Theres a 16 year emory says her biggest year old. Emory says her biggest fear is being abducted after seeing stuff news. Seeing some stuff on the news. I mean, firstly , we young people mean, firstly, we young people need realise is. Not need to realise the news is. Not a two scale example of what happens in life. The worst things are shown to you. News makes its money by upsetting you or showing the most emotionally impactful stuff. Dont think life of but also life is full of that, but also generation they do kind of generation 2, they do kind of act like theyve got the scariest existence in the 80s we wrote letters to jimmy savile so just bear that in mind. Yes youre right. Were asking for it. We absolutely do. You know what it reminds me of . That advert tracking your kids. Every movement app for movement theres an app for that, there is. And its that, which there is. And its life end, life 360. But by the end, i started wonder. It said started to wonder. It said 94 of z started to wonder. It said 94 of 2 americans say their of gen 2 americans say their life benefits from location tracking. I like, is this an tracking. I was like, is this an advert it feels advert for life360 . It feels like it doesnt. Think know what i dont think they know what benefit it the benefit. I mean, isnt it the case any psychology wokeist case that any psychology wokeist worth would say the worth their salt would say the best phobias is best way to get over phobias is gradual. Voluntary exposure to whatever it is instead of making sure that mummy and daddy know if a boob. If youre touching a boob. Exactly steve it just its just bizarre. Im from the bizarre. Im from the countryside and we used go countryside and we used to go and in the quarry where and drink up in the quarry where there parents. Was there were no parents. It was a nice empty old quarry where nice big empty old quarry where you could go and have a cider and knew. It didnt you could go and have a cider annus knew. It didnt you could go and have a cider annus harm. V. It didnt do us any harm. Just to share, though, are you saying should slowly you saying she should slowly expose being kidnapped . No, because i dont think no, because i dont think shes going to get kidnapped. I think worrying think whats more worrying is growing up with this much anxiety. Yeah i do. Mean, i agree to an extent. I mean, i agree to an extent. I the sympathy i have is i mean, the sympathy i have is that, media that, one, the media is constantly pushing this stuff in their media the their face. Social media to the world dangerous now. One world is more dangerous now. One feels perhaps in more feels overall, perhaps in a more geopolitical way a sort of geopolitical way than a sort of everyday way, said. Everyday way, as you said. I dont think. Everyday way, as you said. But nt think. Everyday way, as you said. But nt th about this example but what about this example about who fell about the girl who fell uncomfortable a guy who uncomfortable with a guy who was hitting at a party and hitting on her at a party and then parents then she her parents came and zoomed picked up in zoomed in and picked her up in 20 minutes. Do you have any sympathy for that . Well, wasnt there. Well, i wasnt there. Right. So he was up so we dont know what he was up to. Dont know. We dont know to. We dont know. We dont know what did. But you know, what the guy did. But you know, ive obviously been to a lot of parties youth. And i just parties in my youth. And i just wonder whether dont know. I wonder whether i dont know. I must be impossible for men to comment on this stuff. Comment on this stuff. Wouldnt it be easy for you . Wouldnt it be easy for you . I i like when we i just i feel like when we say making women uncomfortable, thats big thats now like, quite a big crime, isnt it . And you know, was he boring he was he boring or was he dangerous . A lot dangerous . Because theres a lot of area in between. I dont of grey area in between. I dont know. She miss out . Know. Did she miss out . Well never know. Lets do the observer. And drones are to be from flown near be banned from being flown near prisons. Weekend prisons. Thats your weekend ruined cressida drones should be banned from flying near prisons in england and wales. You know i did used to more quite close to scrubs lane. Whats it called . I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a joke. I used to go past, i think what goes on in there. So i watched some documentaries. Fascinating. Anyway you wont be able close able to fly a drone very close to no fly zones will be to the new no fly zones will be introduced around prisons in england and prevent england and wales to prevent drones to deliver drones being used to deliver drugs contraband to inmates. Drugs and contraband to inmates. So previously you just. Well, as it sounds, you got a drone and drove the stuff in. Theyre now saying 400m so thats a saying 400m around. So thats a 16 swimming pools is that. Saying 400m around. So thats a 16 swimming pools is that. Yeah. 16 swimming pools is that. Yeah. Its a lot isnt it. You wont be able to get any photos from there. I dont have a pool like you requested but im you know steve im all pro freedom but this one seems relatively sensible to me. Well, mean seems relatively sensible to me. Biased well, mean seems relatively sensible to me. Biased weits mean seems relatively sensible to me. Biased weits not an seems relatively sensible to me. Biased weits not like im biased because its not like im biased because its not like i need to exist i think drones need to exist anyway. Tends to be, i dont know, dads who should spend more time they only see time with the kid they only see on weekend rather than on the weekend rather than standing next to it a field. Standing next to it in a field. But in general, you but actually in general, you probably could ban drones. I was up scotland up with the missus in scotland at a lovely, beautiful loch. It was was. It was was scenic. It was. It was autumn. Crisp, but it autumn. So it was crisp, but it was most beautiful, serene was the most beautiful, serene area ever to. Then area id ever been to. And then suddenly drone comes into suddenly this drone comes into sight. Oh, do we have to. Have you thought it was you making the noise . The missus, she was like, how do we get home . No, but yeah, youre right. Its such an win. Why would you such an easy win. Why would you be to fly contraband be allowed to fly contraband near prison . Well doesnt it near a prison . Well doesnt it all go in soon . Probably wont starve. You probably wont starve. You probably wont starve. Sorry. You know, i was doing. Sorry. You know, i was doing. I was finishing on a cool little but lets. Lets little joke, but lets. Lets move the sunday times. Move on and do the sunday times. And become and has writing novels become basically impossible . Steve according to Salman Rushdie, fears the novelist art. Fears death of the novelist art. Writers stay their if writers stay in their lane. Authors should about lane. Authors should write about everything, not just what theyve experienced. And the article solid article makes some really solid points creativity and the points about creativity and the freedom is needed to be freedom that is needed to be truly creative and the areas that you should be allowed to write the things write in and the things you shouldnt fear. But hes a living why you might living example of why you might not want just everyone. Not want to just upset everyone. Isuppose. Not want to just upset everyone. I suppose. But not want to just upset everyone. I suppose. But you not want to just upset everyone. I suppose. But you know, hes i suppose. But you know, hes talking a lot of sense. Hes talking a lot of sense. Hes talking more about cancellation, i suppose, and the idea that a writer to have lived writer needs to have lived experience write about experience to write about something and yeah, i mean, you can you should both write about anything and be corrected if your experience got it wrong. Yeah, i think you could be forgiven for talking to Salman Rushdie one eye and rushdie with like one eye and thinking, to thinking, maybe i dont want to go through what he did. I mean, hes brave hes been incredibly brave and but is a difference but there is a difference between this thing between that and just this thing about write about about you cant write about anything your lived anything outside of your lived experience, renders the experience, which renders the whole yeah, 100. Experience, which renders the wh although, yeah, 100. Experience, which renders the wh although, i yeah, 100. Experience, which renders the wh although, i mean, yeah, 100. Experience, which renders the wh although, i mean, ironically, although, i mean, ironically, he absolutely man he he is absolutely the man to talk about this, isnt he . Whether believe that or whether you believe in that or not. Yeah, i mean, i just not. Yeah, i mean, ijust completely agree with him. If you youd only be able to you cant, youd only be able to write memoirs. You wouldnt be able novels because able to write novels because youve your youve only got your own character. Youve you character. Maybe youve got you and your jungian shadow, two characters, but no characters, maybe that. But no sci because no ones ever floated. Theres an upside. Theres an upside. But i think overall its a bad thing. I went to see Lionel Shriver talking about sensitivity readers and sensitivity readers recently and she said that because shes kind of big dog in the game, she of a big dog in the game, she feels more confident in saying, no, youre not touching my work. And like shes got and she feels like shes got some kind of duty to do that because for people coming up through could be through the ranks, it could be the between the difference between getting published more published or not. So the more people worse people capitulate, the worse it gets. Obvious can just gets. Obvious she can just check in as well. Rushdie tomorrow, rushdie will receive of the receive the peace prize of the german book which german book trade, which i believe is for not burning any. Yes good point. Glad we that in. Im glad we got that in. Lets do metro and lets quickly do the metro and emily had apologise emily blunt has had to apologise for someone fat. 11 emily blunt has had to apologise for ago, someone fat. 11 emily blunt has had to apologise for ago, cressida fat. 11 emily blunt has had to apologise for ago, cressida ,fat. 11 emily blunt has had to apologise for ago, cressida , this 11 emily blunt has had to apologise for ago, cressida , this is no years ago, cressida, this is no joke necessary. Thats the whole thing. Emily blunt issues grovelling apology fat shaming waitress apology for fat shaming waitress can you imagine . Its always grovelling, isnt it . Why is it always grovelling . It is neverjust it . Why is it always grovelling . It is never just apology. Probably not. Shell in probably not. Shell be in trouble so yeah, shes. Trouble forever. So yeah, shes. She called a woman enormous. One she called a woman enormous. One womans is another mans womans insult is another mans compliment. Obviously shes. I just find this so silly. Its so silly. I mean, she said it, you know, own it. Girl like you said, it sometimes moved on. Youve never been fat. So you see a snappy little bit. Yeah. I just think this is so silly. And Richard Curtis has been in trouble lately, hasnt for trouble lately, hasnt he, for talking, jokes. And talking, having fat jokes. And its worse because hes a its even worse because hes a man. Just of the man. But this just stinks of the current doesnt it . Current fashion, doesnt it . She was on Jonathan Ross, and the only thing that was annoying about it, steve, was it was just about it, steve, was it was just a bad anecdote. They a bad actor anecdote. They always tell fairly bad anecdotes. She a fairly anecdotes. Then she did a fairly good of a sudden good impression of a sudden american accent, was american accent, but it was actors this just actors struggle. This is just one those stories that actors one of those stories that actors are talk show are struggling on a talk show because witty as because theyre not as witty as you and me. And so come up with a and a good anecdote, right . And thats was. She thats all it was. And she called enormous, but called the woman enormous, but she trying to of she was just trying to think of something moment. Something to say in the moment. This is absurd, isnt it . Its ten whatever, 11 years ten years, whatever, 11 years ago, someone enormous. Ten years, whatever, 11 years agoand someone enormous. Ten years, whatever, 11 years agoand in someone enormous. Ten years, whatever, 11 years agoand in thelmeone enormous. Ten years, whatever, 11 years agoand in the clip, 1e enormous. Ten years, whatever, 11 years agoand in the clip, 1e e like|ous. And in the clip, its like Jonathan Ross up anyway Jonathan Ross sets it up anyway and she just knocks it over. So it she it really feels like she shouldnt to apologise shouldnt have had to apologise for it. Its also a fat for it. Its also its not a fat shaming. Insulting. Lets shaming. Its insulting. Lets just we know just use the word that we know what means. Said what it means. She said something was insulting something that was insulting about and to about someone and wanted to apologise for it. Fair enough. If shes a if you want to. But shes also a hollywood actress. Everyone must be must look be enormous to her. I must look like a row of houses to them, so its fair play. Yeah. And her character in i mean, and her character in the Devil Wears Prada would have said, than said, where are you . Worse than this, off brand this, right . Slightly off brand comment there. But i comment from me there. But i mean, the fact that shes saying im any hurt cause im so sorry for any hurt cause what a ridiculous culture. Lets move on. Is three in what a ridiculous culture. Lets mowbag. Is three in what a ridiculous culture. Lets mowbag. But is three in what a ridiculous culture. Lets mowbag. But coming three in what a ridiculous culture. Lets mowbag. But coming thre the the bag. But coming up in the final section, men in blue shirts and is shirts are dangerous. And so is welcome back to headliners. Lets crack on with the independent and men in blue shirts are dangerous. Watch out , shirts are dangerous. Watch out, steve, or ill pop a cap in your backside. How could i say that . Backside. How could i say that . At 5 am. On tv and you nailed it . Yeah, nailed it. Yeah. But in your accent, it sounds more like a flat cap. Be popped. Be popped in there, which would be quite painful. That be worse many that would be worse in many ways and would hat. And and would ruin the hat. And youre a blue so youre wearing a blue shirt, so youre wearing a blue shirt, so you back with you would just hit me back with some weve both got some other torch. Weve both got flat so we could both have flat caps, so we could both have each other. Should we move on . Students men blue Students Union bans, men in blue shirts and chinos after dangerous the ban dangerous behaviour. The ban follows reckless, dangerous and incredibly irresponsible behaviour by male students on a night out. Sure. Long story short , they were rugby types short, they were the rugby types the went out and the rugby club went out and i remember them from university. If nightclub, if they were in the nightclub, theyd loud. Theyd be theyd be loud. Theyd be drinking tinkle drinking their own tinkle because apparently thats the brave theyd be brave thing to do. Theyd be showing that showing their bottoms. That happened and now happened a lot. And but now instead behaviour instead of banning the behaviour , they banned the outfit bit. How dare they . How dare they . Literally the fashion police. And also what a stupid idea like world wouldnt have World War Two wouldnt have happened could have happened if only we could have got that uniform. Got rid of that uniform. But that the that would have changed the behaviour arent they . Behaviour a bit arent they . Theyre saying were watching you, boys. We dont want theyre saying were watching you,of boys. We dont want theyre saying were watching you,of that boys. We dont want theyre saying were watching you,of that testosteronelont want theyre saying were watching you,of that testosterone fuelled 1t any of that testosterone fuelled bad dont bad male behaviour. We dont want ity in want any toxic masculine ity in here. Do you think is . Here. What do you think it is . A nightclub actually it is, it nightclub and actually it is, it is club. I mean, when is a club. Bizarre. I mean, when i at university we used to i was at university we used to have pints of snakebite in black. We very black. We were very badly behaved. Not that was a behaved. Not that i was in a rugby wear rugby team and i didnt wear that but this i just that shirt, but this i just think this is hilarious. Of course, theyre behaved, course, theyre badly behaved, but their the but in their defence, the Cardiff Union university Students Union says that behaviour Students Union says that behavinme think that if you are makes me think that if you are a rugby player and you havent fathomed you could wear a fathomed that you could wear a different youre to different shirt, youre going to get at best. Get a third at best. Yeah. Yeah. My point is rugby my point here is rugby students those are students and cardiff, those are three culprits above the shirts and the chinos, right . Its rugby freshers. If i just heard the phrase , if there was a sign the phrase, if there was a sign saying rugby freshers night, i would leave establishment would leave the establishment immediately anywhere else immediately and go anywhere else because you know its going to because you know its going to be most awful experience and be the most awful experience and god them. You god bless them. But you know, they rugby they let off steam. Rugby freshers steve and rugby team on its own, freshers on their own. Im just, its own, freshers on their own. Im know, just, its own, freshers on their own. Im know, im just, its own, freshers on their own. Im know, im calling just, you know, im calling the management in cardiff as well. Be there. Dont be there. Dont be there. Well, wearing a blue well, im wearing a blue shirt, should know. Shirt, so i should know. Thing is, man your of my thing is, a man of your of my maturity, know, dont maturity, you know, i dont im more football guy. More of a football guy. What youre saying. You i get what youre saying. You know what, steve . One more point. The here point. The victim here is straight again, straight white men once again, because going to because who else is going to wear blue shirt and chinos . Wear a blue shirt and chinos . True. Could thats true. I could accidentally this accidentally be banned from this university , which university nightclub, which would for the would be better for the nightclub. In nightclub. But the union said in a the clothing a statement the current clothing restrictions temporary restrictions are temporary and not at a specific group. Not aimed at a specific group. Then what do they are just listed . The group . Yeah. The group . Yeah. Yeah. Im now supporting the rugby freshers. Ive changed my position completely. I want to see steve in there with them saying two things can be true once. With them saying two things can be yeah, once. With them saying two things can be yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Then talking about and then talking about science. Lets the science. All right, lets do the sunday and stealth sunday times and stealth splitting is the new trend. Crestacare to explain, meryl streep joins the stealth splitters with secret separation. So it turns out that shes been sort of divorced , but not been sort of divorced, but not really for six years, which is up to her, isnt it . And apparently this is quite common now. People are separating quietly because they dont want a fuss or a bill. Its very expensive. I think people like expensive. I think people like weddings more than they like marriages, dont they . That seems to be quite a i dont know. Theres so this is happening a lot. Know. Theres so this is happening a lot. And, uh , are we happening a lot. And, uh, are we surprised . Surprised . I mean, im not surprised because i actually worked with will we smith on a movie and i think i can now say he said some things to me that made me think, im not quite sure thats a conventional marriage anymore. Im not quite sure thats a convits onal marriage anymore. Im not quite sure thats a convits confirmed age anymore. Im not quite sure thats a convits confirmed nowanymore. And its confirmed now that theyve been quietly theyve theyve been quietly separated 2016. I knew separated since 2016. I knew that, steve, because i rubbed shoulders with the of shoulders with the elite of showbiz. Showbiz. But do you know hes telling that right now in america . That story right now in america . Yeah, were probably going to sue but sue us actually, now, but i mean, yeah, cressida says, mean, yeah, as cressida says, its the money in divorce. Theres also a law change, which apparently changes in apparently means it changes in british law means family british law means that family courts are open to the public, which so its going to which we know. So its going to be you get be more public if you get divorce. Also the other divorce. And also the other thing jackman said that thing is hugh jackman said that they want to they just want they want to focus individual focus on their individual growth. There that growth. Youre 55. Is there that much . Yeah. What do you think . Apparently there is. Apparently there is. Apparently there is. Its i can understand why if youre level famous, you youre that level of famous, you just your business just want to keep your business to the question to yourself. The question would be business is it of be like, what business is it of ours . If meryl streep is staying with not . Its with her husband or not . Its not. Newspapers not. But the newspapers would love and some journalists love it. And some journalists would throw you the bus to would throw you under the bus to expose all this stuff left, right centre. The hugh right and centre. The hugh jackman meryl stuff jackman and the meryl stuff i think slightly different think feels slightly different from going that from whatevers going on in that mess with will smith and jada. Mess with will smith and jada. That feel like same story. Paul will yeah. Oh well. Paul will yeah. Oh well. Stealth splits. Its a weird im stealth splits. Its a weird im not quite sure that term is going to catch on. Its weird, isnt it . Ive said it. It sounds like the kind of thing that happens if you come at me with a flat cap. Yes, absolutely. Good call back. That one seems back. All right. That one seems to petered out. Lets do to have petered out. So lets do the mail. And listening to radio four could be four could actually be dangerous. Oh, no. What am i going to hear unfunny going to go now to hear unfunny comedians tell me racist . Comedians tell me im racist . Steve, steve. Know steve, im sorry, steve. I know youre channels. Know youre on these channels. I know the great simon evans it the great simon evans is on it sometimes. I i sometimes. But i just i felt i had say also twitter, had to say that also on twitter, therell unfunny therell be some unfunny comedians you a racist, comedians telling you a racist, dont always be dont worry, youll always be able good, unfunny able to find good, unfunny comedians you youre racist. But does listening radio but does listening to radio four drivers likely to four make drivers more likely to crash question mark. Crash their car . Question mark. We already know if theres a question headline. The question mark in a headline. The answer especially in the answer is no, especially in the daily drivers who tune daily mail. Drivers who tune into speech based rather into speech based radio rather than more likely than music are more likely to crash, a study. He crash, according to a study. He says, being on says, whilst being broadcast on dab. , that is dab. So oh, sorry, that is totally safe. I should say that you reckon thats we havent been to thats we havent been linked to any say with any crashes. I say with confidence. Yeah. Yeah. But theyve apparently they see that volunteers drive too fast, they drift out of their lane and they forgot to indicate so they a but it also so they drive a bmw, but it also apparently well darting to turn off the archers must be the biggest problem. But in this Research Says these research it also says these things happen. If you listen to music radio. I happen to host a music radio. I happen to host a music show in the afternoon on a radio station. So the death toll that i must have created by now massive been doing it for years. Massive. Just they massive. But just to say they were doing it was the were doing this, it was the experts the National Experts at the National Institute Technology India institute of technology in india. Were. Yeah. So if they were listening four, the listening to radio four, the size of their aerial must the size of their aerial must be the biggest problem. Great point. Also, steve, biggest problem. Taket point. Also, steve, biggest problem. Taket point. Was also, steve, biggest problem. Taket point. Was if so, steve, biggest problem. Taket point. Was if youreve, my take on this was if youre listening four, you listening to radio four, you at least so that the real least 75. So isnt that the real issue driving . Am issue with your driving . Am i right or am i right . Am i noticed i hate to be sexist, but the sample is all male. And arent always told male. And arent we always told that cant do two things at that men cant do two things at once . A great point. An once . Thats a great point. An interesting i find to interesting i find driving to music because if you music is worse because if you like obnoxious electronic dance music like i do , encourages you music like i do, encourages you to go a bit quicker, doesnt it . Could you drive a boat while listening to the radio . Yes. At four miles an hour. Yes. At four miles an hour. It was slightly impair. But it was slightly impair. But it was slightly impair. The problem that listening the problem is that listening to conversation is cognitively demanding, points demanding, especially my points on headliners extremely cognitively. Ive just caused so cognitively. Ive just caused so many. Im like used causing many. Im like used to causing just pile ups. Do think youre yeah, i do think youre cognitively demanding. Ive often said, thank you. To going as a im to going take that as a great compliment, though it great compliment, even though it totally the totally wasnt. Lets do the metro a key question metro then with a key question for pregnant for our times. Should pregnant bridesmaids be replaced . Cressida with other people Wedding Guest cruelly insults pregnant bridesmaid and insists she should be replaced.

The earths core is leaking capital letters as leaking in capital letters as mystery element, not that much of a mystery detected 62 million year old lava scientists dont know what will happen next. Probably not a lot, but scientists have been left baffled by the fact theres baffled by the fact that theres some up some helium three cropping up instead of helium four, which is normal. And it doesnt hang normal. And it doesnt hang around for long because its, you know, the balloons. So as soon as its released into the atmosphere, of the atmosphere, its off out of the planet and they dont know where its from. A of its coming from.

This leaves me even less sure, to be honest. Me even less sure, to be honest. Its lighter because its only got what sounds like. Got what it sounds like. One neutron. Well, thats emily blunt would love it. She thinks helium four is enormous. Thinks helium four is enormous. She does . How small she is. Does it mean were going to have it spill out .
