What about the the gulag. What about the actress emily blunt issuing a grovelling apology for joking on a chat show that her waitress at a chat show that her waitress at a Fast Food Restaurant was enormous . How dare she state the enormous . How dare she state the facts that her server was a porker . Hateful stuff indeed. Porker . Hateful stuff indeed. And apparently everything is racing these days to include the countryside, mathematics and knitting. So everything is hate and everything is racist except actual hate and actual racism. Enter stage left. Those enter stage left. Those pro palestinian supporters on the streets of london supported by rich, woke celebrities on twitter chanting anti semitic slogans and calling for a jihad, which is a holy war. A call to arms to exterminate every jew on the planet. And what did those numpties in the met police do about it . Surely they acted quickly. After all, theyll send six coppers to someones house after an autistic child says a policewoman looks like a lesbian. Youd think so, but sadly not. Youd think so, but sadly not. The police said no laws were broken at the march on saturday, where a band of angry thugs called for muslim armies to launch an offensive to liberate palestine. According to one report in the mail newspaper, up to 15 officers stood by and watched this tsunami of anti semitic hate. Whether its anti semitic hate. Whether its taking the knee to the corrupt and discredited blm organisation dancing with Extinction Rebellion or asking insulate britain who have glued their hands to the motonnay. If theyd like a drink or a sandwich. Like a drink or a sandwich. Modern policing is in institutionally woke in institutionally woke in institutionally biased and institutionally biased and institutionally useless. Dont institutionally useless. Dont take my word for it. The immigration minister, Robert Jenrick , has said the hate jenrick, has said the hate filled chants we heard over the weekend amounted to inciting terrorist violence and should have resulted in arrests. Just have resulted in arrests. Just as the bbc took two weeks to work out that people who behead babies are terrorists. So it babies are terrorists. So it looks like our police force are unwittingly taking sides with this dangerous death cult as well. Following the worst attack well. Following the worst attack on jews since the holocaust, why are israel suddenly the bad guys . Why are they being attacked for being attacked and for wanting to defend themselves against attempted genocide . Make it make sense. And is it acceptable for a tube driver to glorify these acts of terror in our capital city . Take a listen to this. I hope you will have to this. I hope you will have a blessed day today. And look after yourself. Give and look after yourself. Give a big shout out to everybody and keep all those people in your prayers. Have a good day. Prayers. Have a good day. How do you think jewish londoners feel sitting on that train carriage or the driver involved . Has tonight been suspended by tfl pending. An suspended by tfl pending. An investigation . And what about this charming said the hamas attack on the 7th of october, which saw the rape of women eyes being gouged out and bodies burned alive as something which, and i quote , made us all very, and i quote, made us all very, very happy. He said hamas were heroes for killing israelis. Will he have his collar felt . I wont hold my breath. This guy has represented his murderous mediaeval group at Sussex University events in the uk. On speaking panels. Of course, he has as long as he doesnt misgender anyone, hell be absolutely fine. The attack on absolutely fine. The attack on israel was despicable and wicked, but so has been the reaction to it ever since. Remember the good old days when terrorism was bad , democratic terrorism was bad, Democratic Values were upheld and the rule of law maintained . It seems the of law maintained . It seems the main casualty of the october the 7th attack is not just innocent lives in israel, but the very values that underpin this country. The united kingdom. Country. The united kingdom. Israels war is now our war, too, because those calling for the elimination of jews hate us as well, and they live among us. Its just that a lot of naive virtue signalling leftie numpties are cheering this evil on. Havent realised it yet, but they will because theyll be next. Reaction from my pundits tonight. Daily express columnist Carole Malone, journalist and broadcast writer benjamin buttennorth, and former brexit party mep belinda de lucy. Carol, your reaction to the polices blind ignorance this weekend . It was beyond shocking. And it was beyond shocking. And their weasely, gutless excuse for this was that on here there were there were criticised for because people were shouting jihad and their weaselly excuse for that is that jihad means many things in arabic. For that is that jihad means many things in arabic. Well when many things in arabic. Well when its being chanted against jews at a pro palestinian rally, it only means one thing. You know , only means one thing. You know, the leader of the of the protest group know he hailed hamas as heroes and our cops stood by, you know , ive seen this. You know, ive seen this. I think our country has changed shockingly in the past two weeks. Its like anti semitism, semitism now suddenly become an acceptable form of racism, like it somehow now justified. And its a poisonous narrative. And which has been swallowed solid hook, line and sinker by the police. What i hadnt realised until today was that on saturday the cops had advised jewish people who wanted to go on a walk like a rally in their area on saturday. They told them not to do it. They begged them to call it off because they said you could be or you could be hurt or intimidated. Thats what intimidated. Well thats what theyre theyre theyre thats what theyre there to stop. And yet so they stopped jewish people having their and allowed this their rally and allowed this pro palestine go ahead. Pro palestine one to go ahead. And think , you know, and i just think, you know, youve got to ask yourself what are the cops for these days . Suella braverman should have mark , the police mark rowley, the met police chief, have backside chief, should have his backside in street today saying in downing street today saying sort yourself out, because what it to me is that our it looks like to me is that our cops are frightened of getting into rock anybody. Into a rock with anybody. Theyre and as theyre frightened. And so as a police they are useless theyre frightened. And so as a police which 1ey are useless theyre frightened. And so as a police which means useless theyre frightened. And so as a police which means takings theyre frightened. And so as a police which means taking sides indeed, which means taking sides with purveyors of terror. Benjamin well, look, you know , you have to laugh when they said all jihad can also mean my struggle. Struggle. I mean, if it was such a routine part of their terminology, then why have i never heard a muslim friend or a muslim on television shout jihad to their struggle . To describe their struggle . Thats right. Youve just never heard in that context, right . Heard it in that context, right . Youd have to be. I got stuck in a traffic jam. What a a jihad that was. What a what a jihad that was. Exactly. Exactly. Youd to be incredibly youd have to be incredibly naive, painfully and naive, painfully naive. And i think police pretty think the police are pretty poorly trained knowing how to poorly trained on knowing how to deal this. Course, deal with this. Of course, i dont accept the nonsense of your monologue about institutionally but what i institutionally woke, but what i do well, i think weve do think well, i think weve just pointed out. Just pointed it out. But on taking the knee to blm, dancing extinction blm, dancing with Extinction Rebellion who rebellion and asking people who have themselves to the have glued themselves to the motonnay theyd a cup of motonnay if theyd like a cup of tea, can you imagine if that that that protest on on saturday had had involved black lives matters, being shouted at matters, people being shouted at and if had involved and abused if it had involved trans activists being shouted out. Do you think that a been done . Nothing would they . I think theyre completely wrong to sit by and do nothing. Obviously you what . The obviously but you know what . The idea as they woke obviously but you know what . The idea they as they woke obviously but you know what . The idea they might as they woke obviously but you know what . The idea they might care ey woke obviously but you know what . The idea they might care about e means they might care about womens rights or gay rights and those sorts of issues, that that means hamas means theyre supporting hamas supporters doesnt make any sense. Would. But i supporters doesnt make any sense. Would. Buti do sense. But they would. But i do think one thing id also think the one thing id also disagree carol on is that disagree with, carol on is that i dont think the country has changed last two weeks. Changed in the last two weeks. Im these im not willing to let these people for every people its changed for every jew in britain it has. Thats true. It has. But but im not willing to accept that because these people are so and these people who are so loud and in cases and in some cases violent and aggressive visible like aggressive or so visible like that driver we heard from that tube driver we heard from in news, weve allowed, that in the news, weve allowed, that is most people in this country. It changed because weve it has changed because weve allowed to allowed anti semitism to flourish and to flourish on our streets and to not checked. Thats how its not be checked. Thats how its changed. The other thing now, changed. So the other thing now, belindas got a speech. Of theres a huge rally of thousands of people in Trafalgar Square hostages taken by square for the hostages taken by hamas and to support the israeli community. And so there are people standing up on the other side. Its not just the extremists on these marches, by the way, because think waving of because i think the waving of palestine flags, hours after the atrocities of the 7th of october, already deeply october, were already deeply offensive probably hate offensive and probably hate crimes own right. Crimes in their own right. Belinda. Belinda. If after the well, imagine if after the horrific manchester bombings or seven over seven hours after their hours after or days after, before the dead were even buried, that there were protests after protests of people who shared the same general cause of all the horrible things that were happening in syria and iraq, which was the justification for these terrorists on both both events. Imagine how that would make the families feel and they would simply allowed. I think simply not be allowed. I think there should have been a period of this has of mourning. I think this has made london a no go area for jews every single time they do a protest, the protest, its intimidating the people who protest. No, its going to be infiltrated by hamas sympathisers terrorists. Sympathisers and terrorists. They know its going to wound and scare and intimidate the british population. And british Jewish Population. And still march on briefly. Still they march on briefly. Belinda, look, the police have got really tough have got a really tough job. Theyve to theyve got a balance to communities. Theirjob is to keep people safe. Theyve made a calculation that that ultimately keep people safe. Theyve made a calcquilln that that ultimately keep people safe. Theyve made a calcquill belat that ultimately keep people safe. Theyve made a calcquill be moreat ultimately keep people safe. Theyve made a calcquill be more trouble, |tely keep people safe. Theyve made a calcquill be more trouble, more there will be more trouble, more violence if they allow the groups to fight among themselves. You know whats happened . Because i dont blame the police entirely. Labour and conservative governments have opened the doors to radical islam into the uk. Luckily its not the majority majority, but there are enough to cause this kind of ruckus. Theyve allowed it to take root. They have not been tough enough and now theyre to challenge theyre too scared to challenge them. Carol mentioned , them. Now, as carol mentioned, jewish, pro jewish , respectful jewish, pro jewish, respectful prayer jewish, pro jewish, respectful prayer walks have been cancelled because, by the way and you know what the police used as an excuse for cancelling. They said it was being perceived as an attack on muslims. Right. Well, what was that protest saturday . That protest on saturday . Know who the biggest and you know who the biggest Victim Groups of radical extremists, islamism, extremists, radical islamism, are worldwide. Are muslims. They are worldwide. They the biggest, they are the biggest, including gaza. Should including in gaza. So we should all this horrific all unite against this horrific radical islam. Just say one other can i just say one other thing, which the danger of thing, which is the danger of letting that narrative that those want to set that those people want to set is that you have new holocaust denial. You have a new holocaust denial. We want to set it. We dont want them to set it. We want them to set it. We dont want them to set it. But its been very difficult to not set when this is going on. On. All right. Dont panic. Well, listen, wont happen. Listen, it wont happen. The start people ive seen the start of people trying to whats happened trying to deny whats happened and try and have history. Tell them do have to tell them you do have to worry about that. You could argue now, listen, you could argue the police have an impossible job. View . Mark job. What is your view . Mark gbnews. Com met chief mark gbnews. Com matt met chief mark rowley said his force is ruthless in tackling who ruthless in tackling anyone who puts over the legal puts their foot over the legal line , adding it is parliaments line, adding it is parliaments to job draw that line. And the thought is that may be events thought is that it may be events are illustrating some of the lines are not in the right place. There are frameworks that are assertive some are more assertive in some respects are respects than ours. There are lessons to learned , but that lessons to be learned, but that is politicians and is for politicians and parliament to draw the line. Still to come, nigel farage has exposed more shocking political bias the heart of natwest bias at the heart of the natwest group, who tried to bank him. In a bombshell 600 page document staff at coutts are quoted as calling racist a shameless calling nigel racist a shameless grifter and a crackpot, with one even wanting to throw a milkshake at him. He joins me live to give his exclusive reaction to these extraordinary and equally disturbing revelations. But first, in the clash, as the former israeli pm Naftali Bennett says the bbc lacks moral clarity over its courage. Coverage of the israel Hamas Conflict has the corporation brought shame on britain . Former bbc producers john mair and craig duncan go head to head with Charlie Lawson. Sparks will fly. Thats sunday morning. Big reaction to my big opinion. The police are now institutionally woke institute biased and institutionally useless. Big response on email. Useless. Big response on email. Mark gbnews. Com. Stuart says the police are actually frightened about doing anything unless youre a motorist doing. Five youre a motorist doing. Five Miles Per Hour over the speed limit. I despair what is happening to my country , he happening to my country, he says. Stuart gordon says gutless government. Im saddened by how the government of ours sits back and allows this behaviour of chanting hate to. Quinn says. Hi mark. The police need to get a backbone and so do all of the politicians and make this country great again. This would not be happening under margaret thatchers conservative party. And last but least, mark. And last but not least, mark. Mark says the police have one job enforce the law and to job to enforce the law and to arrest anybody who breaks it. Theyve forgotten what theyre there for. Keep those emails coming, at gbnews. Com. Coming, mark at gbnews. Com. Nigel farage on his shocking new de banking revelations coming up. But first, the clash. And up. But first, the clash. And the bbc is still refusing to call Hamas Terrorists. And now even the former Prime Minister of israel has called out the corporation. Live on air. Take a look at the astonishing spat yesterday between Naftali Bennett and the beebs presenter victoria derbyshire. And i understand that bbc has taken a side of on the gaza side because all your questions are only about the gazan civilians. Only about the gazan civilians. Thats not you havent asked one question, thats not you have to ask one question. I began by those children from the very beginning of this interview from the very start asking me about them. Mr bennett, it seems that them. Mr bennett, it seems that hes little about our hes cared little about our side. It is. Keep on side. Oh, it is. You keep on caring only about one side, but that bbc way and if you that is the bbc way and if you think theres a balance here between two equal sides , then between two equal sides, then you are lacking moral clarity. You are lacking moral clarity. Meanwhile , the israeli meanwhile, the israeli president is not happy either, slamming the bbcs reporting as atrocious. Even rishi sunak atrocious. Even rishi sunak throwed a bit of shade in the bbcs direction. Take a listen. Explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within gaza towards israel. The misreporting of this incident had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital Us Diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home. So has the corporation brought shame on britain . Let me know your thoughts. Mark at gbnews. Com or at gb news on twitter and do vote in the poll. But to debate this now, im delighted to welcome former bbc producer john mayer ex coronation street star Charlie Lawson and former bbc series producer and the star of the excellent Youtube Channel flooded craig duncan. Craig, can i start with you . Your reaction i start with you . Your reaction to the bbcs reporting of this israel crisis , this over the israel crisis, this over the last two weeks . Well , ive been a little bit well, ive been a little bit shocked because they seem to dont know what a terrorist is or they seem to have lost the ability to look up definitions. Ability to look up definitions. Ive got with me, mark, when i was at bbc, we were all i was at the bbc, we were all given this book. Can you see thatis given this book. Can you see that is the producer guidelines and this was a bible for us. And in it, the very, very beginning. The first thing we have to talk about or they had to tell us or teach us about was impartiality. And then theres a section on the inside called number 15 terrorism and National Security. Terrorism and National Security. Theres even a section about how to interview terrorists. So im to interview terrorists. So im not quite sure how theyve forgotten that they wrote that. And where theyre at now because they seem to be just a complete denial. This terrorist. Denial. This terrorist. Okay. Well, john, you disagree with what craigs just said, why this man is talking complete tosh. This is the bbc. Its not the israeli Broadcasting Corporation. Its the bbc. And in my opinion , theyre doing a in my opinion, theyre doing a cracking job in israel. And you know what . For the first time in my memory, theyre admitting mistakes. They admitted that theyd got the hospital wrong and theyve apologised for that. Theyve few other things. By the way, they got the hospital wrong because of israel bias. Bias. Saw an exploded hospital they saw an exploded hospital and thats the israelis. And thought thats the israelis. They made a judgement rather than a journalistic stating a journalistic fault. Ive heard the number two in news apologise for that publicly last week. Borne out of prejudice , not borne out of prejudice, not borne out of prejudice borne out of time constraints, and an and. And it doesnt take long to say we dont know who bombed the hospital. Mark, who which organisation has a journalist in in gaza the bbc is not very good, but they have a journalist here. Nobody else does itv have doing very well so does the bbc. You know, the bbc has has done really, really well. Frontline reporting in a difficult situation. I will criticise one situation. I will criticise one thing i thought the interview with the archbishop of canterbury last night was a bit licking, frankly, and it shouldnt have used it, but they are by and large, you know, they put their stars there and the stars are performing over and over know what . Over again. And you know what . Theyre calling them theyre not calling them terrorists. Saying the terrorists. Theyre saying the uk calls them uk government calls them terrorists. Dont use the terrorists. They dont use the word coming word terrorists as coming from the quite rightly, to the bbc. Quite rightly, to gaslighting and gaslighting israeli victims. Israeli victims. Listen, charlie, lets talk about this. By the way, gb news about this. By the way, gb news has excellent representation in israel. Charlie peters has been broadcasting live from israel. How many reporters do we know how many charlie is . All you need because you get one. Charlie peters is as good as ten bbc journalists. Why . Because he tells the truth and hes not biased hes anti israel. Biased and hes not anti israel. All its hardly journalism. Its hardly journalism. Its hardly journalism. There you go. Well, listen, charlie didnt get it Charlie Peters didnt get it wrong exploded wrong about who exploded a hospital gaza. Charlie, your hospital in gaza. Charlie, your reaction to the bbcs coverage . Have you worked for the bbc much yourself . Uh, yeah. Just for about 42 years, mate. And i would have to say that the ground crew , so to say that the ground crew, so to speak, and the cast ive worked with republicans , palestinian with republicans, palestinian supporters, a lot, and theyve absolutely be fine. When youre making the programme. But there definitely is an editorial bias. Theres no doubt about that. I would you , you two fellas, would you, you two fellas, especially you, john, would be old to remember whenever old enough to remember whenever we had martin bell in Northern Ireland the people of ireland and the people of Northern Ireland, the protestant Unionist Community considered him completely biased and he was shafted. He was he was done for shafted. He was he was done for it. You know what i mean . Look, the bbc, i mean. John humphrys for gods sake, you know, i mean he was running the world at one and i think he was brave enough and i think he was brave enough and open enough to come out and say that there was educationally a political slant or whatever. Weve all known that about the bbc. So should the bbc call the ira terrorists . Did the bbc call them terrorists . The bbc was them terrorists . The bbc was straight down the line and all i know, i worked for them. Theyre they were straight down the line. As they in line. Well done as they are in israel, darling. Good for lived there too. Yeah, well, i lived there on and off, but. Okay, john, john, john. Im just telling you how the union has struck loyalist people felt about the bbc. Not just you. Think about the bbc, you were employed by them, mr im talking about how the people on the ground felt about your organisation. Okay. So it wasnt unionist Broadcasting Corporation nor is it the israeli Broadcasting Corporation. Its the bbc, corporation. Its the bbc, remember . Well, the united kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a political union. The bbc is the National Broadcaster for craig. What is this coverage . Tell us about the this coverage . Tell us about the culture of the bbc. Why you see, i think that the thing is, i think people in the uk love the bbc. We love the bbc, but we are furious with them because they seem to be the custodians of the bbc currently seem to be undermining it and what it used to stand for. Ive interviewed people to come and work at the bbc at, and ive had superiors next to me who have overridden my decisions because ive interviewed people who to be directors on shows and theyve had no they demonstrated no ability to be or qualifications within the to be decent directors for what we were looking for. And his argument to me later on was that, well, we should employ this person because shes funky, shes got a funky look, she seems funky, you know, and weve seen it. Weve seen the bbc went through a huge problem. They were really struggling. So they were really struggling. So they were jihad ing back in the in the 90s because channels like channel five were coming to fruition and channel 4 were doing well. Channel 4 were very, very edgy. The bbc was seen as being a bunch of stuff, shirts and very old fashioned. So they tried to be a little bit more sort of funky, i guess. Is the word that they started using. Word that they started using. And as such , they started and as such, they started employing freelancers from sort of the independent sector who came in and they didnt they didnt care for about this. This doesnt exist anymore. This isnt given to staff anymore or this is just basically, you know , thrown away and everyones using hang on. Let craig finish. Let craig finish. So people arent really sure how to people finish your point. People at the bbc, because everyones a freelancer as well. Everyones a freelancer as well. And the bbc isnt really responsible for making a lot of the shows that it puts on there. Its all being made by independent Production Companies who dont care about the guidelines that ive just shown you. And as a result of a lot of the independent sector coming in, it has become unfortunately, a very sort of left wing , biased a very sort of left wing, biased channel. We dont hear any pushback against against the bbc from from the from the left. We dont hear the left retweeting. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now, john, john, the clocks against us. But mark dolan , gb against us. But mark dolan, gb news, were all about balance. News, were all about balance. Can you have closing thoughts from you, john, if you may . Yeah. This man specialises in talking nonsense. You know, every independent producer has to abide by the producer guidelines. I know ive done it. They have to. And. And they have a person editorial a bbc person editorial responsible. The bbc is responsible. Okay. The bbc is impartial. Responsible. Okay. The bbc is impartial. Its the british Broadcasting Corporation , not Broadcasting Corporation, not the broadcasting the israeli Broadcasting Corporation, the unionist corporation, nor the unionist Broadcasting Corporation. Broadcasting corporation. Well, think it is the well, i think it is the unionist Broadcasting Corporation, to differ corporation, but i beg to differ with that one. With you on that one. , craig, charlie, john, listen, craig, charlie, john, i longer. What a i wish we had longer. What a debate. Lets go to the bbc debate. But lets go to the bbc now, who have said our starting point impartiality and point is always impartiality and we incredibly we take that incredibly seriously. Thats why we take so much coverage much effort to get our coverage of significant complex world of significant and complex world events amongst events right in amongst thousands of hours of news broadcasting. There always thousands of hours of news brosometing. There always thousands of hours of news brosometing. Twhere always thousands of hours of news brosometing. Twhere werlways thousands of hours of news brosometing. Twhere we do iys thousands of hours of news brosometing. Twhere we do get be some errors where we do get things wrong. We always hold up our hands, as we did this week when one of our correspondents was to speculate, along was wrong to speculate, along with others, about cause of was wrong to speculate, along witialthers, about cause of was wrong to speculate, along witialtherstospital cause of was wrong to speculate, along witialthers, hospital explosion. the Al Ahli Hospital explosion. Well, your verdict is in. 91 of you agree that the bbc has brought shame on britain whilst 9 say it has not coming up as 2. 2 million claim benefits without needing to find work, has the uk become something for nothing . As a country . Also, nothing . As a country . Also, ill get reaction to that from entrepreneur and star of the hit programme the secret millionaire mike green. But first, nigel farage has exposed more shocking political bias at the heart of the natwest group. Hes next. Well eamonn and isabel, monday to thursdays from six till 930. Thursdays from six till 930. Time now for gb news star nigel farage. A new bombshell , nigel farage. A new bombshell, revelations from his de banking scandal where he has sensationally unearthed previously confidential but absolutely outrageous comments made about him by snooty nats staff in huge cache of documents given to nigel by natwest after he made a subject access request to the bank, a process where someone can demand all data and documents from a company which features their name or details. Nigel discovered staff saying they would throw milkshakes over him and celebrate him being de banking by mocking. Have we de banking by mocking. Have we single handedly driven him out of the country . I hope that knocked him down a peg is what one worker said. Nigel another one worker said. Nigel another staffer told colleagues theyd have paid to be the person to de banking you. Is the rot as bad as youd feared . Worse no, its worse. No, its worse. I mean, thought after the coutts files, it couldnt possibly get worse. Possibly get worse. And thats what i put in the subject access request to natwest , which by law should natwest, which by law should come back in 30 days. But the loophole is they said it was so complex that they wouldnt come back for three months and that is what youre seeing today. Back for three months and that is what youre seeing today. And is what youre seeing today. And if this was their attempt to sort of kick this into the long grass and hope it goes away, i tell you what, theyve picked on the wrong chap. And because im not going to put up with this, this is the culture that the queen of woke Dame Alison Rose brought into the head office and throughout the bank of natwest andindeed throughout the bank of natwest and indeed the subsidiaries like coutts. Its funny , isnt it in coutts. Its funny, isnt it in life those who talk about diversity and inclusion are actually the most illiberal , actually the most illiberal, narrow minded people you could even narrow minded people you could ever, ever want to meet. She is responsible for this culture. Now the significance of the timing of this should not be lost on anybody. On thursday of lost on anybody. On thursday of this week , there is a full board this week, there is a full Board Meeting of natwest, and on friday morning well get the quarterly figures after the coots debacle. They appoint did what they called an in depth dependent person to come in to look at what had happened to jarvis smith are a city company whos emeritus chair, has described brexiteers as racists , described brexiteers as racists, xenophobes and little englanders. Well, some independents for you. But at this thursdays meeting they will decide on which terms. Dame alison leaves natwest. Bear in mind, folks, this is not a private company. This is not a private company. We bailed these people out, out of their greed and stupidity. 38. 6 of this bank is owned by you, the taxpayer, and she is on course to walk out of thursdays meeting. With 11. 5 course to walk out of thursdays meeting. With11. 5 million meeting. With 11. 5 million sterling just think about that. To be rewarded for failure, rewarded for breaking every single code under banking law since it first existed under the Financial Conduct Authority regulations. As shes on the regulations. As shes on the verge of walking out with £11. 5 million and nearly 40 of that will be paid for by gb news viewers and the rest of the country. And what i want with country. And what i want with these revelations is for the world to understand and that these people who have politicised both public and private corporations actions should not be rewarded for failure, should not be rewarded for prejudice and for bias. She must not walk out with that vast sum of money. And as for the staff working in an organisation who wouldnt even have their jobsif who wouldnt even have their jobs if it wasnt for us bailing them out, they should. All of those people whove made these vile comments should be suspend , vile comments should be suspend, raided and investigated. Raided and investigated. Well, these comments, nigel, are these comments are vile. Youve been described as an awful human being. Whats the crackpot saying now . They want to drive you out of the country. They want to throw milkshake at you, which is an assault. Now nigel, i know you well. Youre no snowflake, but does it hurt reading stuff like this . Reading stuff like this . No, not really. It doesnt no, not really. It doesnt hurt at all. I mean, you know , i hurt at all. I mean, you know, i am so used to the illiberalism of the so called liberals that i can deal with it. Yeah, it is. Can deal with it. Yeah, it is. Its horrible stuff. Although, its horrible stuff. Although, mark, you know, maybe crackpot. Well, maybe theyve got a point there. You know, ill give ill give them that one. Nigel i need to know what these extreme opinions are are that you have because youre arguably the most consequential politician of your generation. 17. 4 generation. 17. 4 million generation. 17. 4 Million People voted for brexit. So what are these extreme opinions of which they speak . Speak . Well, i mean, i you know, i have to accept im guilty of the charge of extremism, obviously mean i believe in self governing, democratic nations. I believe that we should be able to choose the people that make our laws and once every five years sack them. I think that the integrity of our borders is something fundamental. After all, the first duty of government is to protect its citizens and to stop bad people or terrorists coming into our country. Bad people or terrorists coming into our country. We i mean, into our country. We i mean, worst of all, though, worst of all, in the charges ive seen today, worse of all, i do not agree with the banks view on climate change. You see, i am sceptical. I am sceptical about net zero now. They hoped and prayed , as youre showing on the prayed, as youre showing on the screen now that the press would think that somehow now this all meant that i was a bit dodgy when it came to financial matters. But nothing could be further from the truth. And it further from the truth. And it all goes to show the arrogance of those in power. The march of the weight brigade through our pubuc the weight brigade through our public and private corporations. Public and private corporations. And i have the honour to be the first person to genuinely have the voice and the position to stand up and fight back against this. And what i as it were, came out in the summer as being debunked. A lot of other people debunked. A lot of other people came out and i want everybody whos been debunked or treated badly to put in their subject access requests. Lets turn this culture around. Culture around. Indeed, nigel, your legacy is brexit. Youre the godfather of brexit. Youre the godfather of brexit. I think you helped Boris Johnson win the 2019 general election, which kept Jeremy Corbyn out of number 10, which would have been a National Security and economic disaster. I think your other great legacy as well as gb news is going to be standing up for ordinary people who are caught up in this de banking scandal. Youre a high profile case, but this is the tip of the iceberg, isnt it . 1 Million People, 1 Million People and businesses have been banked over the course of the last four years. Their means of existing in a modern 21st Century Society have been taken away from them. And that, in the end is what made me go public about all of this. You know, i could have just crawled away, but i thought, no, if i stand up and fight, i wont be just fighting for me. Ill be fighting for me. Ill be fighting on behalf of so many other people who dont have a voice. But, mark, let me pick you up on something. When you you up on something. When you say my legacy , im not on the say my legacy, im not on the verge of croaking it. Im not on the verge of retiring. There are many , many more fights and many, many more fights and campaigns left in me, believe you me , including leader of the you me, including leader of the conservative party. After the next election. Nigel yes or no . You can tell me were pals. Were pals. I know why, dear. Were pals. I know why, dear. All were pals. I know why, dear. All i were pals. I know why, dear. All i can i know why, dear. All i can say is that the centre of gravity of conservative Party Members and voters is miles away from their parliamentary party. They will lose the next election. They deserve to lose election. They deserve to lose the next election , and they need the next election, and they need to lose the next election. To lose the next election. Othennise, well stay on with two brands of big state, high tax, high spend, surveillance control forms of social democracy. We only by losing can democracy. We only by losing can we actually get a party that stands up for the liberty , stands up for the liberty, freedom and an opportunity and enterprise of the individual. Enterprise of the individual. And if im able to help that debate in any way after the election, do you know what . Ill roll my sleeves up and ill be there. He didnt say no. You heard it here first, nigel, more power to you. Well catch up soon. Of course. Nigel is back tomorrow at 7 00 on gb news and natwest. Group spokesperson has said weve written to mr farage to apologise sincerely for the deeply inappropriate comments made him and the poor made about him and the poor behaviours neither behaviours displayed. Neither are with the are consistent with the standards of service that our clients should expect.

Were determined the determined to learn the necessary this so necessary lessons from this so that in the future well live up to the High Expectations that our clients rightly place upon us. Look, my take away from that is that nigel farage is going to take over the leadership of the conservative party after the next election. Okay lots more to come, folks. Yes, indeed. Dont come, folks. Yes, indeed. Dont forget the email market gbnews. Com. Coming up as english acting legend Dame Maureen Lipman slams the bleeding heartless liberals who failed to condemn hamas have celebs shown their total hypocrisy by failing to call out terrorism . My panel debate that later. But next, theres 2. 2 Million People now claim benefits without needing to find work. Has the uk become a something for nothing country . Im joined by the entrepreneur and star of the channel 4 programme, the secret millionaire mike green, to discuss that n ext next all our itv going to wind up axing this morning. Ill be asking fleet street icon Kelvin Mackenzie. But first, the number of brits who claim benefits without having to work rose by 50,000 last month alone, meaning that the total figure is up to 2. 2 Million People. Ministers are said to be alarmed at the sudden rise, and in his speech at tory conference, the pm promised to act. We must end the National Scandal where our benefit system declares that more than 2 Million People of working age are incapable of actually doing any. Thats not conservative, thats not compassionate, that must change. Indeed, the governments are looking at reforming the assessment system through which people can be signed off sick. People can be signed off sick. However, the charity disability rights uk said the proposed changes are less to do with helping disabled people into work than a cynical attempt to impose conditionality and to reduce benefit payment. S. Lets reduce benefit payment. S. Lets get reaction from top entrepreneur and star of the channel 4 hit the secret millionaire. Mike green. Mike, youre a self made man with a rags to riches story. Do you think britain has a work ethic problem . Problem . I do. I do. I do. I do. And it its quite sickening. It was interesting there to hear rishi talk about it as a scandal and whats more disappointing is after 13 years of the tories being in, hes talking about it as if its an outcome of someone elses party that needs to be addressed. I think for me, everyone would support supporting the people who cant work or need support. The problem is were supporting a lot of people with benefits. Why is it called benefits . It shouldnt be a benefit. Its shouldnt be a benefit. Its a sick note. Its a fraud and, um, benefit , if you like, that these benefit, if you like, that these people are getting because many of them are frauds. They are absolutely taking the mickey and boasting about it down the pub. Boasting about it down the pub. Sometimes weve got many people who need help, but theres many, many more who are just exploiting the system that the uk creates for them. And in fact getting up in the morning, going out to work, putting in a shift, its not just good for the economy, its good for the person involved, good for your health, your Mental Health and your physical health. Yeah, i was once having conversation was once having a conversation with doctor from cornwall with the doctor from cornwall and he said, im a terrible gp. Get about me. Get lots of complaints about me. And said is then he and i said, why is that . Then he said, because sometimes said, well, because sometimes people come in, they say theyre a bit down, theyre a bit depressed, they havent got depressed, that they havent got any said, ill any energy. And he said, ill write a prescription. Write them a prescription. Then they angry. Said, they get really angry. I said, why said, because why is that . He said, because i write walk an hour a day or get some fresh air. Theyre sitting at watching kyle, at home watching jeremy kyle, you depressed. You know, getting depressed. They get out, get to they need to get out, get to work, get their body moving, contribute that they contribute to society that they want to benefit from. And weve got people that are got too many people that are black belts in fraud black belts in benefit fraud that exploiting our country. That are exploiting our country. Well, indeed. Listen mike, welfare important for those welfare is important for those who are unable to work. My heart goes out to them. That is why we pay goes out to them. That is why we pay our taxes. For many pay our taxes. But for many others, its a trap, isnt it . Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. And i think i agree with you. Everyone agrees with you that the who work, that the people who cant work, that are suffering need help. Are really suffering need help. We to look after them. But we want to look after them. But this who are on sick or this people who are on sick or long term sick or Different Reasons for not working has gone up 62 in the last ten years. Its now at a level where we just cannot support it and it wont be long at this rate before well have more people being supported than we have got working. In fact, theyre probably already there. If we look the different age groups look at the different age groups in just not sustainable. Mark indeed , this mark indeed, this is an important cultural change that needs to happen. Its just needs to happen. Its not just policy, it, that it pays to policy, is it, that it pays to work, to work work, but the attitude to work has to change. Its has got to change. Its different in america, isnt it, where most people go out to where most people do go out to work shift in well, work and put a shift in well, and theres just less benefits. Mean, i feel really i mean, what i feel really sad is theres lots of people at the lower level of income and many retail, hospitality , many in retail, in hospitality, in support services who are working hard, working full time and not being able to afford to live, literally having to sofa surf, even though theyre working hard. I think we should working hard. I think we should be looking to put funds into paying be looking to put funds into paying liveable paying them a more liveable wage. But those that can work and dont work, i think we should make it more painful because we shouldnt make it easy people sponge easy for people to sponge off the system. The system.

Its not known if the hostages are Israeli Citizens or dual nationals. We understand their families have been informed. And one of the hostages, grandsons, has told reporters, were happy that my grandmother is back. And that my grandmother is back. And this brings the total number of hostages released to four out of more than 220. Still held by hamas. Well hear the prime hamas.

The misreporting of this incident had a negative effect incident had a negative effect in the region , including on in the region, including on a vital Us Diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home.

My Brilliant Panel tonight, daily express columnist Carole Malone , always worth Carole Malone, always worth reading, always worth hearing. Journalist and broadcaster benjamin buttennorth, who is very much the clothes horse of this programme and no , no, this programme and no, no, always shooting from the hip, dropping truth bombs aplenty. Former brexit party mep belinda de lucy , whos dressed for the de lucy, whos dressed for the summer, which is lucky because the studio is approximately 800 c. And can we just point out he had no idea. When you referenced val doonican, who val doonican said to carol, who is it . And she said, its a much loved entertainer. I say, well, i said, was we have a lot of lot in common then. No there you go. Well, those were the days when tv presenters would randomly into song. Randomly break out into song. I might that tonight. Now, might do that tonight. Now, listen, over 200 public figures in the uk have come together to sign the october declaration. I am pleased to say im one of those people. Its a letter condemning anti semitism against jewish people and quote, calling hamas out for what it is a terror organisation. This is, of terror organisation. This is, of course, what steve coogan and 2000 of his fellow luvvies failed to do when they signed a pro palestine letter that accused the British Government of aiding and abetting what they call israeli war crimes. Better late than never. Coogan has since condemned the hamas terror group. In an updated statement group. In an updated Statement Last night, calling their attacks on civilians horrific. But hitting out at her acting compatriots the coronation street legend Dame Maureen Lipman has said these bleeding, heartless liberals care so deeply for the palestinians that they espoused their cause to the expense of every other oppressed people of the world. Shame shame, shame on every one of you, dame maureen has herself signed the october declaration. So, carol, have those other celebs shown their true colours by failing to call out terrorism . Oh, completely. I mean, coogan , you know, i mean, coogan, you know, coogan is a im not going to say, but you know, talented guy, right . The voices that we normally hear on on stuff, the ones that are always on twitter, you know, calling out what they think is the cause of the poor and the oppressed people like gary lineker, people like emma watson , people like emma watts. Watson, people like emma watts. You lineker you described gary lineker a couple ago as couple of weeks ago as a dangerous man. I think hes a really dangerous man, but however, opened his however, hes not opened his mouth on interestingly, mouth on this, interestingly, because think because one, i suspect i think hes and i dont hes a bit thick and i dont think gets whats going think he quite gets whats going on. Anyway. But the on. But anyway. But the other two, emma thompson, certainly two, emma thompson, is certainly not weve not heard not thick and weve not heard a word from her. All of these people should be now condemning hamas and theyre i hamas and theyre not. And i thought maureen today, thought Maureen Lipman, today, ive an admirer of ive always been an admirer of hers, what said hers, but today what she said was powerful. She called was really powerful. She called out profession, which out her entire profession, which is to do. You is quite a big thing to do. You know, she said actors are supposed to be empathetic, empathetic, sympathetic, empathetic, sympathetic, empathetic. And she said empathetic people. And she said to me, you are all devoid of empathy. You cannot see an inch empathy. You cannot see an inch above your own on your own prejudices and this and she said, shame on each and every one of you. And shes right. And she said the other quote she said was, shes the only good jew people. She a jew to these people. She is a homeless, victimised impove averaged one. So shes actually slate profession and slate her entire profession and i think its really important that she does. And she points out that you know she said you know we keep on hearing that, you know, the palestinians arent hamas, but she as she pointed she said, you know, pointed out, she said, you know, the palestinian have the Palestinian Civilians have elected ago. And elected hamas 17 years ago. And keep on electing them in. They chose this group, this terror group , to lead them. And also, group, to lead them. And also, its left them impoverished because all the aid that they get from around the world, for the country, for the palestinians , is spent on palestinians, is being spent on them their arms. And so them and their arms. And so theyve left the palestinians impoverished. So you know, when a palestinians are going to realise that this group doesnt give about them, whether give a stuff about them, whether they they die, they live or whether they die, indeed , i mean, pipes that have indeed, i mean, pipes that have been sent to the region for water, for fresh water have been npped water, for fresh water have been ripped , repurposed as weapons. Ripped, repurposed as weapons. Thats the situation. Benjamin comes to you in a second because i want to hear the other side of this argument. But belinda, so much for the be kind crowd. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. This sort of woke liberal luvvie idea. The people, the its the good people, the nice nice, the hashtag its the good people, the nic kind. Nice, the hashtag be kind. Its not about minorities. Its about victims. Its its not about victims. Its about corporate virtue signalling theyll signalling points out theyll jump signalling points out theyll jump blm, theyll jump jump on blm, theyll jump on trans activism. Jump on trans activism. Theyll jump on anything. They that that anything. They think that that will them these these will give them these these points sort of points in that corporate sort of lovey world. And its about power control as well. If it power and control as well. If it had been about the victims, they would have said a and mentioned the horrific attack. First and foremost. You know, the worst attack on on jews in a day since the holocaust. Any natural attack on on jews in a day since the holocaust. Any natural human reaction to that is of utter and complete devastation for humanity. And theyre quite happy to verbal diarrhoea about every other, you know, political point scoring, compare everything to except actual in 2023. Well, theyre silence is deafening. And its interesting. Theres someone like gary lineker throws the word like around all the time. And here we have an example of exactly that. And weve not heard a peep. Its because they think basically the Jewish Population should and should lie down and they and its anti semitism its a horrific anti semitism that lies underneath this that is promoted by the liberal lobbies through their silence. But also, think the celebs but also, i think the celebs are a of them are frightened are a lot of them are frightened to speak out on this because theyre of what it theyre frightened of what it means them. Its easy for means to them. Its easy for them to it from you them to do it for from the, you know, the privacy of own know, the privacy of their own home about immigrants home to talk about immigrants and of it and to and all the rest of it and to and all the rest of it and to and to support them. But when you have a cause which actually could have them singled out in one another, they hide one way or another, they hide their cowardice. Indeed. Mean, well, indeed. So, i mean, gary lineker the gary lineker never used the word, but hes invoked memories of which i think is of the 1930, which i think is the benjamin there the same thing. Benjamin there is side to this. Steve is a flip side to this. Steve coogan, other signatories to coogan, the other signatories to that worried that letter, theyre worried about deaths many about the deaths of many thousands palestinians. Thousands of palestinians. Theyre about alleged theyre worried about alleged human rights abuses by the Israeli Military. All theyre Israeli Military.

That what theyre doing is theyre worried about palestine, which, honest, is the which, lets be honest, is the kind of of hell at the kind of centre of hell at the moment. Were about the were worrying about the Palestinian People and the civilians, especially the children injured civilians, especially the chilnkilled, injured civilians, especially the chilnkilled, is injured civilians, especially the chilnkilled, is obviously injured and killed, is obviously entirely and entirely legitimate. And im sure feels that sure Maureen Lipman feels that way, absolutely. The way, too. Absolutely. The problem that cared problem wasnt that they cared about they were about those civilians. They were highlighting thats highlighting the plight. Thats absolutely is absolutely fine. The problem is that these people, many that some of these people, many of it, having of these people did it, having not expressed the horror and the outrage at the attack that killed 1200 innocent israelis killed 1200 is innocent israelis. And two weeks prior to whats going on right now. But what does that silence say them . Does that say about them . Does that does that mean does that does that not us exactly what they not tell us exactly what they think this conflict . Think about this conflict . Because does to me the because it can it does to me the fact that they didnt speak out at the time. I agree with shame i agree with maureen. Shame on okay i agree with maureen. Shame on well, okay i agree with maureen. Shame on well, there you go. Look, to well, there you go. Look, to be fair to coogan, he has set the record straight and has explicitly condemned the hamas attacks. Days after attacks. A couple of days after signing that letter. Now, listen, weve time listen, folks, weve got time for gordon ramsay. Yes. On to another of touch celeb tv another out of touch celeb tv chef gordon ramsay, ive got to say, the guy once. Very say, met the guy once. Very charming. Hes usually one charming. Hes usually the one dishing out the foul mouthed insults. The last insults. But in the last 24 hours, hes found himself on the receiving speaking to jake receiving end. Speaking to Jake Humphrey High Performance humphrey on his High Performance podcast, the millionaire chef stands accused of telling the least relatable story ever. Take a listen. We were young , we were stupid we were young, we were stupid and we were skint. I remember going to ask her father if i could borrow a 20 grand for the deposit for a flat that we fell in love with. And i thought this was all going well. Lunch is good. Ill pay for lunch. And i said, oh, by the way, about that deposit, you know, weve got half of what know, and weve got half of what we need.

Or decriminalise shoplifting . Or should we get even tougher by naming and shaming offenders or tagging them or painting them orange . My panel debate that orange . My panel debate that shortly. But next, 23 labour shortly. But next, 23 labour councillors resign and mps are left outraged after keir starmer suggests israel has the right to blockade gaza. So does the toxic rail threaten to tear labour apart before theyre likely return to government . Former Milton Keynes councillor, dr. Sherry delfan has a stark warning for the nation shortly. Sunday morning. Now 23 labour councillors have sensationally resigned from their positions as sir Keir Starmers position on the israel Hamas Conflict threatens to tear the party apart. Mps are also said to be furious and demanding clarity from starmer after he made these comments to Lbcs Nick Ferrari two weeks ago. Take a listen. Im very clear israel must have that does have that right to defend herself and hamas bears responsibility to see a siege is appropriate. See a siege is appropriate. Cutting off power, cutting off water secure. I think that israel does have that right. That right. It is an ongoing situation in so keir has since backtracked first time for everything a insisting that he meant israel should only defend itself within International Law. But the damage seems to have been done, with starmer now standing accused of condoning israeli war crimes. While im delighted to be joined now by dr. Cherie delphine, who is one of those 23 councillors who have just resigned, dr. Delphine, thank you so much for joining us. Why have you the labour us. Why have you quit the labour party . Party . Good evening to you. I quit good evening to you. I quit the labour party because of the toxic and bullying environment and the final straw was the position of keir starmer. Of position of keir starmer. Of course. Course. But you say toxic, surely the labour party was a lot more toxic under the previous leader. Jeremy corbyn, who described hamas, the terror group, as his friends. Friends. It is absolutely correct to firmly condemn the killing of innocent civilians on both sides and what hamas has done. There is no room for negotiation. Its absolutely horrific and it is no room to just, you know, justify what they have done to israeli civilians. But what what keir civilians. But what what keir starmer has made the position at this situation when he chose to provide this disturbing, divisive act and also his action has led more. Divisive act and also his action has led more. For divisive act and also his action has led more. For hatred. Tencia has led more. For hatred. Tencia in and prejudice towards the community. Thats how i feel. Would you condemn people waving palestinian flags on the 7th of october, just hours after women were raped, bodies were scorched and babies beheaded. Scorched and babies beheaded. Um , yes. A short answer to um, yes. A short answer to a straight question, which appreciate. Now, anti semitic incidents have increased by 3,000 in the last two weeks. Surely its sensible for the leader of the opposition to reassure people who are jewish in this country that they have his full support, which involves israel defending itself. Itself. Absolutely right. As i mentioned earlier on, this is no way to justify what hamas has done to civilians. But what is done to civilians. But what is causing more disturbing by keir starmer position and as a human right lawyer background, he could, you know, add reset in a better way, Something Like temporary ceasefire to make sure that the both sides, civil and israeli and gazan, to be moved in a safe zone and then, you know, of course, this hamas has to be, you know, punished for what they have done. But the pubuc what they have done. But the public was expecting more sort of sympathy towards not hamas , of sympathy towards not hamas, towards the civilians. Towards the civilians. However , the argument is that however, the argument is that israel needs to defend itself. Israel needs to defend itself. It has a military objective now, which is to eliminate hamas. It has a military objective now, which is to eliminate hamas. So which is to eliminate hamas. So this genocide, this attempted genocide of the jews in the middle east does not materialise or israel has a right to defend herself. And keir starmer is herself. And keir starmer is right to support that. Right to support that. Israel has a right to defend herself. But the question here herself. But the question here is , as i mentioned earlier on is, as i mentioned earlier on base, the International Law has to be mentioned and address first. And the sibilant has to be protected. But you want a ceasefire thats different from respecting International Law. Respecting International Law. Israel dropped leaflets in north gaza telling communities in that region to head south because as an assault was coming i and by the time time, im not quite sure. Um, really what quite sure. Um, really what happened at that at that case. But and what im addressing in the ceasefire is, you know , to the ceasefire is, you know, to provide providing because it is happened when azerbaijan and armenia , they had, you know, the armenia, they had, you know, the war and it happened in syria as well. You know, the International Bodies has agreed for the temporary 24 hours or 48 hours. You know, the ceasefire until they make sure that the civilians have been moved to the safe zone. Thats what i mean , safe zone. Thats what i mean, to prevent more or to prevent more lives , you know, to lose more lives, you know, to lose dr. Sherry, delphine , thank you dr. Sherry, delphine, thank you so much forjoining us for dr. Sherry, delphine, thank you so much for joining us for and your time. We did contact the labour party for comment. We have not received a response as of yet. Received a response as of yet. Your reaction, mark, at gb news. Com i just wonder whether this gives you a flavour of what life would be like if keir starmer was in number 10. Lets be honest , the country is broke be honest, the country is broke and when the Public Sector unions dont get the pay rise theyre hoping for, i think there will be all out civil war and thats before you get to labours position on israel. Labours position on israel. However, weve got other fish to fry coming up in uncanceled. Why has there been no outrage about alleged racism to a white England Rugby player in the world cup fleet street icon Kelvin Mackenzie gives his expert analysis shortly and hell also sink his teeth into whether its a matter of time before itv acts. This morning. But next in the media buzz, with our prisons overflowing, should britain follow california and decriminalise shoplifting or should we even tougher by should we get even tougher by naming and shaming offenders as tagging them, painting them orange, purple or yellow . My orange, purple or yellow . My panel debate that next. And let me tell you, its going to be feisty. See youre listening to gb news radio. Radio. Okay. Lets have a look at tomorrows papers. Where should we start . Josh okay, lets have the daily mail, first of all, and video, does that prove the depravity of Hamas Terrorists . Israel today unveiled horrific video footage. It said proved the true barbarism of the hamas terror attacks on october the 7th. The images , most of which 7th. The images, most of which were too graphic to be published, were shown to journalists in tel aviv earlier today. Several viewers were brought to tears by content brought to tears by the content downloaded from the body cams and as belonging to and smartphones as belonging to the hamas killed was guardian. The hamas killed was guardian. Next bombardment of gaza continues amid talks to free more hostages as quest for more powerful i reckless say experts as Artificial Intelligence is basically Computers Running the world surely better than politicians and costs of living leaves a million uk children destitute. The telegraph now. Eu destitute. The telegraph now. Eu clash with uk and us on ceasefire. France and eu leaders backed a ceasefire between israel and hamas, setting up a clash with britain and america as Ground Troops were poised to invade gaza. Also though, israel shows hamas slaughter to the world, farage reveals natwest staff gloated over his de banking and met chief chasm exists between the law and pubuc exists between the law and public expectation. Last but not public expectation. Last but not least, the independence met police chief tells braverman we need new powers to stop jihad protest chants and criminal justice crisis where of all the judges gone, Record Number of rape and Violent Crime cases being delayed as the shortage of judges causes unprecedented backlog. In a shocking indictment of our creaking criminal justice system. Now a criminal justice system. Now a big reaction to a lot of our topics on email marketing cbnnews. Com. Its been revealed that 2. 2 Million People who receive benefits are not seeking employment. So a strong reaction on email. As i say briefly, this from tim. Hi, mark. What i never understand is how someone on benefits can receive more than someone that does a working week. Surely it has to be right that you actually get paid less if youre not working. And chris if youre not working. And chris says, mark, i dont like benefit cheats, just like most people, but i think this is just another tory tactic get everyones tory tactic to get everyones back theyre always going to back up. Theyre always going to be small minority that take be a small minority that take advantage system it advantage of the system and it isnt priority. Shouldnt isnt our priority. It shouldnt be government focus be where the government focus their either. Thank you their energy either. Thank you for that. Reacting to the big stories of the day. It is my top pundits and im delighted to have daily express columnist Carole Malone, journalist and broadcaster benjamin buttennorth, and former brexit party mep belinda de lucy, now , party mep belinda de lucy, now, with british prisons reaching full capacity and the scourge of shoplifting skyrocket ing costing british traders almost £1 billion a year could decriminalisation be the solution in the us state of california recently declared any theft under the value of 950 as a misdemeanour rather than a felony effectively decriminalising thefts below this value, which has taken pressure off local police but done little to stop the shoplifters back in blighty, our government is considering a very different solution, with plans to act. Gps tracking devices are commonly worn by domestic abusers and burglars on the ankles of britains most prolific shoplifters. So what do prolific shoplifters. So what do we think about this . Carol should britain follow californias lead . Absolutely not. I mean , its absolutely not. I mean, its just the most ludicrous thing ive ever heard, you know, and everything that were talking about doing here, i mean, it sounds great, but its never going to happen. You know, you mentioned a figure as nearly £1 trillion. I think thats like something million had Something Like 953 million had cost year or the cost retailers last year or the nicked know, but cops nicked stuff, you know, but cops have told people here in shops that if under £200, theyre that if its under £200, theyre not going to even bother to turn out. Now you know, the retailers have together and theyve have got together and theyve come up with this idea called project pegasus, theyre project pegasus, where theyre all clubbing john all going to clubbing john lewis, 800 lewis, tesco clubbing with 800 grand to give to the police to create a special force to kind of police all of this. Now hang on. We already pay the cops £4 billion a year to do exactly this. Why are we paying them more money . And you know whats going to happen . Its going to become this little squad, little private squad in a station. And if youre shoplift, its if youre on the shoplift, its got a nice little number got to be a nice little number and you wont have to do. Would you but not you go to a couple . But not many. Yeah, itd be like bagsy waitrose boss. Ill have waitrose. John waitrose. You you have john lewis and. But, but also im thinking you know big thinking that you know the big stores have Security Guards stores have had Security Guards for long they have stores have had Security Guards for big long they have stores have had Security Guards for big burly they have stores have had Security Guards for big burly guys they have stores have had Security Guards for big burly guys on ey have stores have had Security Guards for big burly guys on the ave these big burly guys on the doors. Look terrifying, but doors. They look terrifying, but theyve been instructed by theyve all been instructed by theyve all been instructed by the not to attack or the stores not not to attack or not to approach someone whos nicking they get nicking stuff in case they get abusive or pull a knife out or get, know, so what is the get, you know, so what is the point a Security Point of employing a Security Guard cant employ guard if he cant employ security . So the retailers in many ways this. And the many ways deserve this. And the cops need to start doing their job. Theyre not theyre job. I mean, theyre not theyre not controlling protests. So the least they could do is least they could actually do is get on and look the get on and look after the retailers and shoplifters. And retailers and shoplifters. And dont me this tosh about dont give me this tosh about not on the not being enough cops on the street. Are more cops on street. There are more cops on the streets now than they have ever been before. Ever belinda, do indeed. Belinda, what do you think . About tags or think . How about these tags or name and shame tags, orange jumpsuits, you name it. Them in whatever shows put them in whatever shows the public that there are consequences to these actions. Decriminalising thing. What if theyre shoplifting out of desperation to feed their kids . Im really sorry , but a law im really sorry, but a law is the law and it must be equal for absolutely everyone starting to excuse criminal reality puts on a very dangerous, slippery slope. Theres a theory called the broken window theory, which is used to describe decaying neighbourhoods. And its all about the more lawlessness about how the more lawlessness and disorder there is and is allowed, the it creates. Allowed, the more it creates. And it emboldens even more serious crimes to take place. So we must be much firmer with petty criminals. I dont think the answer is sending them all to jail. I think hard labour filling in the potholes, cleaning graffiti off the walls with jackets on, saying giving back to the community in orange. I think that the or even thief on it. Yeah we need it and there has to be some kind of punishment and shame that comes with this because there are victims behind all these stats. Over 307, 80,000 thousand shoplifting offences have been conducted in the last year. That is a rise of 25. Its getting worse. Its getting more lawless because of course, tiktok and social media encourages gangs and the police cant get a grip on it. But we already know who these people are because theres facial recognition and theyre all why arent all on cameras. So why arent the cops even going to their home after theyve been behind computers hate crimes and computers doing hate crimes and nonsense like that . Benjamin see benjamin. Benjamin i can see you orange jumpsuit. You in an orange jumpsuit. Oh, cant. Oh, i cant. Oh, i cant. I actually have a beautiful orange so i bet you do. Orange jacket, so i bet you do. People think im thief people might think im a thief just wearing own fashion just from wearing my own fashion choices. Look, there two choices. Look, there are two things this things going on here with this rise thefts, because the rise in thefts, because the government the Home Office Government and the home office have were to treat have said were going to treat it organised crime. It more like organised crime. Well, it organised well, much of it is organised crime thats its been crime and thats why its been fuelled. You know, people are fuelled. You know, people are stealing to order for a black market of products and that is the kind of thing that sophistic std policing should be. Classic policing should be able to deal with. But then on the other hand, you have and you always hand, you do have and you always have in troublesome have this in troublesome economic know that one economic times. We know that one of the common things to be of the most common things to be stolen baby formula. Now stolen is baby formula. Now there be many of there are going to be many of those are stealing those people that are stealing that. Course, its still that. And of course, its still wrong, but they are doing that out of desperation and a desperation anyone in desperation that anyone put in their would to their shoes would be able to understand justify, understand how they justify, keep that among keep doing the idea that among keep doing the idea that among keep poor this is this is keep saying poor this is this is just is what the left do just this is what the left do all of the time. There more than 50 of there are more than 50 of people in this country on some kind benefit. And i dont kind of benefit. And i dont believe families who believe there are families who have got starving babies. Its just not the case. You get benefits for exactly our benefits for exactly that. Our welfare system, you know, weve got 5. 5 people not in got 5. 5 Million People not in work. 2. 2 million who work. Weve got 2. 2 million who never need apply for a job over again. That people get again. Benefits that people get benefits stop. Exactly what benefits to stop. Exactly what youre describing. Benjamin. The top three goods that are stolen, the top three goods stolen, alcohol. Goods that are stolen, alcohol. Yes, confectionery. And yes, its confectionery. And then, you said, its high then, as you said, its high item. Things they can sell on the top items are not nappies and. And baby food. First of all, the 2. 2 million, they dont never have to apply for job again. Many to apply for a job again. Many of those people parents of of those people are parents of young so thats young children, and so thats how in that. How they work in that. So if want to okay, so if you want to clarify, lets clarify it. So what you have to do, because the people dont have to apply people who dont have to apply for job generally on universal for a job generally on universal credit they to do credit and all they have to do is hours work a week, why is nine hours work a week, why arent do 25 hours arent they made to do 25 hours work a week . Because they have young kids or disabilities. Because they have young kids or butyilities. Because they have young kids or butyilitiesno, fact is but look, no, the fact is that you could have, for example, a woman whos in an abusive and shes abusive relationship and shes not able to get the money to feed kid. Feed her kid. Like that, having someone like that, having to wear bright orange jacket, wear a bright orange jacket, having accounts for having their that accounts for a fraction a deaths that fraction of a of deaths that are happening.

World rugby. The sports governing body, has today formally opened an investigation into currys claim, but some supporters in south africa believe the mumbai a e have been misheard , heard and may have misheard, heard and may have been speaking in afrikaans. Critics have slammed the insipid response, arguing that if it had been the other way round and a slur was made against a black player, then there would be widespread condemnation and more swift lets get reaction swift action. Lets get reaction from Kelvin Mackenzie. Kelvin allegations of racism against a white rugby player , no outrage. White rugby player, no outrage. Why not . Well, thats just the way it is, im afraid. And in this particular case, they have now dreamed up the idea that the guys speaking in africa, which by the way, nobody knows whether thats true or not, the only point i would make about that this allegation was made on saturday night. We are monday night, 48 here we are monday night, 48 hours later. There were hours later. If there were nothing this, didnt nothing in this, why didnt the south out straight south africans come out straight away this is what away and say, this is what happened . Word kante happened . We used the word kante , which apparently means Something Like, i dont team or side. And so i presume its a i side. And so i presume its a i presume its a load of cobblers. I think thats interesting. When i used to work for you at talk radio and talk sport, you called me kante quite a lot. I didnt realise it was flattering. It was in fact it was in lieu of a pay rise. Right. And youve got another seven cantos today. But isnt it bizarre whether it is bizarre about whether it is white black . The allegation white or black . The allegation then why that the c word, then why is it that the c word, which most disgusting which is the most disgusting word. In terms of word. Yeah. In terms of vulgarity is thats fine. So you are a c word, right . Thats if i said you were a white c word. I end up at old Street Magistrates Court charged under a hate crime. I find that utterly bizarre. And im not sure what do do . People are white people , do do . People are white people, brown people, black people do they feel insulted by having their natural aspect of their life, which they cant do anything about, used as an insult . Why dont they feel more insult . Why dont they feel more insulted . Why isnt it more of insulted . Why isnt it more of an action if somebody calls you an action if somebody calls you a c word, why arent you carted off for that . Absolutely its a very abusive word. Its disgusting language. Ive never heard use it. And never heard you use it. And listen, heres a question you havent tonight. Havent heard me use it tonight. Anyway. Anyway. You re anyway. Youre on your thats it. Youre on your best and youve not best behaviour and youve not had a drink yet. But can you be racist towards a white person . Thats isnt it . Thats a big question, isnt it . After, know, centuries of after, you know, centuries of oppression, ive heard all that old the truth about the matter. The truth about the matter. There people in every there are nasty people in every single and have all single race and they have all been for hundreds of been around for hundreds of thousands of years and they can be vile to each other. And theyre always thinking up vile ways, that theyre vile ways, better that theyre vile to each by calling to each other by calling themselves c words or f words or whatever. Then whats going on currently in the middle east . If you had the choice, where does that come . Where does that come on vile ometer, right . So i, on the vile ometer, right . So i, i am never appalled by somebody. I am never appalled by somebody. You want to have a good laugh . I roll up at the at the idiots on twitter pouring tab loads on me. I sit there in fact theres some of them are so vile i send them to my brother and we roll up at the idea and the c word, the use of the c word is for nominal and the truth about the matter is you dont care about whos saying this kind of stuff. But i saying this kind of stuff. But i do find it odd that colour becomes the bigger issue. Arent people proud of their colour, whether theyre white, brown or black . So if somebody says that , black . So if somebody says that, so what . Correct. Well, im a dolan and i used to get called an irish so and so at school and i lapped it up because im proud of my heritage. Absolutely right. Youre absolutely right. You founded talksport, which is still strong. You have still going strong. You have a passion. It seems to be going better without me. Stop far from a without me. Stop it. Far from a shocker.

Sport a big priority at the sun. And you were very successful with the page was as with that. The back page was as compelling the front. Do you compelling as the front. Do you think is made of what think too much is made of what is said in the field of battle . Why are we even finding out what they at other . They shout at each other . Because cricket it because in cricket they call it sledging, dont they . Can yes. Although i can i honestly say that if somebody had somebody a white had called somebody a white c dunng had called somebody a white c during during a during a county cricket between essex and cricket match between essex and lancashire, would lancashire, i think that would be story to be fair. Be a big story to be fair. However, there are things that are said and you cannot say them. And these are men. I mean, there are men in the field of battle. Do we make too much of it . You know, well, in the field, the job of yelling obscenities in the field of battle, field of battle, battle, in the field of battle, and an israeli troop and im and im an israeli troop and im taking on some people in the middle east, think i would middle east, i, i think i would be worse things than be saying worse things than that as way through gaza. As i made my way through gaza. , itv are scratching kelvin, itv are scratching around looking for someone to replace Holly Willoughby in this morning.

She signed a contract at and then two minutes later, something very unhappy happened in had the in in her life. She had the allegation of attempted murder and etcetera. And she decided she didnt want to do it anymore. Right. So theyve lost schofield and theyve lost holly. And actually theyve lost their audience. Their audience has fallen by 30 or 40. Nobody wants that daytime stuff anymore. One of the problems about itv today is that they are unwant rated network and actually streaming is everything.

Replacing holly. Yeah, well, im hopeful that Rupert Murdoch buys it. I say its chump itv. It is chump change for rupert. Its a couple of billion quid.

One more pearl of wisdom from Kelvin Mackenzie. Farage, Kelvin Mackenzie. Nigel farage, arguably most consequential arguably the most consequential politician generation in politician of his generation in he has not ruled out becoming the leader of the conservative party if they collapse after the next election. I asked him again tonight, he said, ill do what i can. Roll sleeves up if can. Ill roll my sleeves up if i to. So that was a clear i have to. So that was a clear bit of leg to the sort of tory grass roots. Could it happen . Could be parachuted into the could he be parachuted into the party in 2026 . Example . Party in 2026 . For example . Unlikely , mainly i find it unlikely, mainly because they would reject him, right . I they dont want a successful person in the conservative party. Youve seen whats happened. Weve had we had three Prime Ministers, three tory, Prime Ministers in 45 days. They all hopeless at days. They were all hopeless at their dont want a their time. They dont want a nigel farage. They think theyd be too disruptive. However theyre theyre going to have to find their own nigel farage and that will does that person exist . Nigel is a clever, exist . Well nigel is a clever, clever guy. He told me so clever guy. He told me so himself. Actually, funnily enough, and shy about coming fonnard. Fonnard. Like your good self. Much like your good self. Much like your good self. Yeah. So, i mean, if he was leader, theyd romped to victory. It would the biggest it would be the biggest landslide wouldnt it . Landslide ever, wouldnt it . Well, so i dont rule it. Still dont rule out rishi. I know it sounds absolutely ludicrous youve been ludicrous if he said youve been sober three days. Sober for three days. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, the only reason i say i dont is i expect the economy to cheer little as long as cheer up a little as long as there world iii coming there isnt world war iii coming around the corner. Well, with you. I well, i agree with you. I think rishi is sort of underrated. I think as the potential ceo the country, i potential ceo of the country, i think edges over starmer think he edges it over starmer and i think thats the big sell in a years time right . Can solve if he can so if he can solve if he can ship everybody out to rwanda, he will close winning. If will come close to winning. If he im afraid hell be he cant, im afraid hell be pushing, pushing a broom outside the thanks putting me kelvin, thanks for putting me on the big boys breakfast in 1998. I never looked back. 1998.
