Welcome to a very busy mark dolan tonight in my big opinion, after number 10, step in to condemn the move, ill be giving my first on air reaction to the london theatre shutting people out based upon their skin colour. Has britain fallen into the hands of extremists . Ill be asking. Britains best known political double act, the hamiltons. Britains best known political double act, the hamiltons.

Weve got tomorrows front pages at 1030 in the company of three top pundits who have been told what to say and who dont follow the script. Who dont follow the script. Tonight, political commentator rebecca jane, author and journalist Benedict Spence, and broadcaster and anarchist doctor Lisa Mckenzie. This show is Lisa Mckenzie. This show is always anarchy. Plus is always anarchy. Plus is anti depressant medication a scam . Ill be asking a top expert who says popping the pills isnt always the answer. Plus, the most important part of the show your emails. Plus, the most important part of the show your emails. They come the show your emails. They come straight to my laptop mark at gbnews. Com and this show has a golden rule we dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont not on my watch. I just wont have it a big two hours to come. We start with my big opinion. We start with my big opinion. Remember the good old days when racism and segregation were bad . The london production of a hit us theatre show called slave play will hold two so called blackout performances exclusively for an all black identifying audience set on a plantation in the old american south. The Award Winning play explores race, identity and sexuality. Well, ill be honest , sexuality. Well, ill be honest, i look forward to seeing the show on one of the lights nights when maybe im actually allowed to go. How many mental to go. How many mental gymnastics do you have to go through to reach the conclusion that segregating people based upon the colour of their skin is somehow the way to tackle somehow the best way to tackle racism . I would suggest racism . I would humbly suggest its like tackling a forest fire with unleaded petrol. Now, clearly there are people of ethnic backgrounds who do not participate enough in live theatre, and this highly regarded show, which tackles the hellish crime and dark legacy of slavery, should be watched and enjoyed by as wide an audience as possible. But the optics of as possible. But the optics of an invitation to just one group of people based upon the pigmentation of their skin, to anyone with half a brain, is divisive , deranged and divisive, deranged and potentially dangerous. How does potentially dangerous. How does racism fix racism . How does the return of apartheid , which is return of apartheid, which is what this policy effectively amounts to help people of colour after decades of progress in the west, much of this looks to be under threat or could even be reversed with the idea that people of colour are somehow tragic victims who need to be among their own own, whatever that means, in order to enjoy a show. And how do you define show. And how do you define black . What about mixed race people , asian people, south people, asian people, south American People . It makes no sense now. Defenders of the policy have talked about how unsafe , safe theatres are for unsafe, safe theatres are for some groups. Unsafe. Do me a some groups. Unsafe. Do me a favour. Firstly, some groups. Unsafe. Do me a favour. Firstly, its some groups. Unsafe. Do me a favour. Firstly, its wildly favour. Firstly, its wildly patronising and therefore potentially racist to say that theatres are unsafe for certain groups and also theatres are only unsafe if youre sat next to someone whos endlessly coughing, getting up to go to the loo all the time, or spilling their haagen dazs salted caramel ice cream on your lap. Otherwise, theatres are not lap. Otherwise, theatres are not unsafe and these performances are apparently there to help patrons avoid whats been called the white gaze. This is the white gaze. This is progress. Is it demonising groups based upon immutable characteristics . Its like Martin Luther king never happened. Martin luther king never happened. And lets not forget happened. And lets not forget this man is a hero who said that we should be judged on the content of our character, not the colour of our skin. Well, hed probably be cancelled in 2024 for his wise words and his desire to bring humanity together. Black lives matter. Which is why in my view, people of colour shouldnt be treated like children or victims. And be pushed into cultural silos. Pushed into cultural silos. Heres an idea why dont we try to get everyone to go to the theatre, lower ticket prices have better marketing of shows across all communities, including to ethnic groups, and have school trips. I agree with the guardian who wrote about that. This weekend. Theatre is crushing middle class and should be for all. So maybe all communities could go to the theatre together and Learn Together and have a good time together and have a good time together for all classes, all races , all religions, all races, all religions, all backgrounds. Is this backgrounds. Is this exclusionary stuff is divisive and wrong and probably illegal if enforced very literally. This if enforced very literally. This policy to effectively shut certain people out of performances is a pantomime , a performances is a pantomime, a farce, and theatre of the absurd. This five star show gets only one star for common sense. Only one star for common sense. Now. The theatre have made it clear that if you are a white person, for example, or dont identify as black, you can go to the show. You wont be stopped from purchasing a ticket, but the invitation is focussed on an audience of colour. The invitation is focussed on an audience of colour. But i think audience of colour. But i think its divisive. I think its a mistake, but if you back the policy, do let me know. Mark at gbnews. Com. But first, your response from the pundits tonight comes in the form of political commentator rebecca jane, author and journalist Benedict Spence, and broadcaster and anarchist doctor Lisa Mckenzie. Lisa, let me start mckenzie. Lisa, let me start with you. Your reaction to this idea of a special theatre performance just for one group of people, based on their skin colour . I heard the interview actually, with the director of the play and actually his reasoning, i kind of i did understand it because what he said is he did say ethnic minority and poor people. He minority and poor people. He said that together he said the theatre is mostly white and middle class , uh, unsafe. I middle class, uh, unsafe. I wouldnt sort of i wouldnt say that, but i think it can be intimidating. Ive been , you intimidating. Ive been, you know, im not a massive theatre goen know, im not a massive theatre goer, but when i have been to the theatre, i am somebody. I think when you come from sort of working class backgrounds , that working class backgrounds, that sort of theatre, you want to be engagedin sort of theatre, you want to be engaged in it. Sort of theatre, you want to be engagedinit. And sort of theatre, you want to be engaged in it. And so perhaps you might want to talk or you might want to say, no, i dont agree or whatever. Um, agree with that or whatever. Um, and so i do think that sometimes theatre audiences are a bit snobby. Um and unwelcoming and i was actually talking about this some working class Theatre Makers earlier today , and we makers earlier today, and we were talking about music hall and how it was a place where people from the same class sort of got together. Um, and really of got together. Um, and really how those sorts of things have gone now and perhaps im not saying that this is a great idea , but i can kind of im not going to sort of shut it down straight away. I can understand it. Rebecca jane, the idea of the producer and the director of this show, which is the hit show from america, is to attract people of colour to come to the theatre and watch a show that contains important themes around black history. So whats wrong with inviting a black audience as if its not inviting a black audience , is it . Audience, is it . Though its excluding a white audience. You know, racism goes both ways. I dont understand and i actually really would like to be educated as to why this should be something of import science, but all i see is that you cant create inclusivity by being so diversive and segregating people. It is almost like it is becoming shameful in Todays Society to actually just be white. Its i cant understand it, mark. And im really struggling and i really want to and i know that we have to, you know, raise education levels and understanding. But this is not the way to do it. Okay i mean, lets take a listen to the words benedict spens of inaya followers , iman, whos a inaya followers, iman, whos a brilliant broadcast and journalist who of course used to be here at gb news writing for the mail website, benedict, she said im appalled that any playwright would contemplate segregating theatre audiences. Segregating theatre audiences. Black people are perfectly comfortable going to the theatre. We dont need special treatments to enhance our enjoyment. What do you think . Enjoyment. What do you think . I mean, perhaps if they were trying point about trying to make a point about segregation, is, segregation, i mean, this is, after play that is based after all, a play that is based in, you know, history of in, you know, in the history of the deep south. But i dont think that is what theyre trying least thats think that is what theyre tryi|what least thats think that is what theyre tryi|what heard. T thats think that is what theyre tryi|what heard. Imits think that is what theyre tryi|what heard. Im im not what ive heard. Im im completely favour of this completely in favour of this policy because i think any policy because i think that any sort of very self indulgent policy because i think that any sort 0 shouldelf indulgent policy because i think that any sort 0 shouldelf ilasrlgent policy because i think that any sort 0 shouldelf ilas few1t plays should have as few audience possible. Audience members as possible. And trying to and this is actively trying to stop so stop people from going. So presumably last very presumably it wont last very long because they just wont get the bums on the seats. People wont through the doors wont go through the doors to watch theyre wont go through the doors to watch saying theyre wont go through the doors to watch saying to heyre wont go through the doors to watch saying to people, actively saying to people, please were please dont come. Were prioritising other people who presumably to come presumably dont want to come in the wont the first place, so it wont have a particularly long i have a particularly long run. I think is of the think that this is sort of the free market in action. There sort of there saying, sort of sitting there saying, oh, were trying to oh, actually, were trying to appeal demographic that appeal to a demographic that perhaps to appeal to a demographic that peritheatre. To appeal to a demographic that peritheatre. Well, to appeal to a demographic that peritheatre. Well, clue to the theatre. Well, the clue there it doesnt there is that it doesnt necessarily want to go to the theatre. And on the other hand, itll we to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up we to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up with we to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up with far we to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up with far fewer e to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up with far fewer the to theatre. And on the other hand, itll up with far fewer the upper put up with far fewer the upper middle class white people saying, went to this saying, oh, i went to this really play the other saying, oh, i went to this realon play the other saying, oh, i went to this realon it. Ay the other saying, oh, i went to this realon it. Ay tiso,ther saying, oh, i went to this realon it. Ay tiso, oh,r day on slavery. It was so, oh, you to see it. I think you just have to see it. I think weve all been spared a massive tormen, but frankly, were not going massive, going to get the massive, you know, sort of five star know, a sort of five star reviews everywhere see on reviews everywhere you see on billboards across london. Billboards all across london. Because seen because nobody will have seen it. A very positive it. I think its a very positive thing, frankly. Listen, i know okay. Well, listen, i know your tongue in your when your tongue in your cheek when youre saying that, it is youre saying that, but it is a concern people of in concern that people of colour in this going to this country are not going to the and all this the theatre. And all this director is trying to do and of course, the venue themselves is attract people to go and see this play. What do this important play. But what do you at gbnews. Com. You think, mark at gbnews. Com. But up in the big story, but next up in the big story, has fallen into the has britain fallen into the hands of extremists . Ill be asking. Britains best known asking. Britains best known political act , the political double act, the hamiltons. Plus, following rumours that he sent flirty messages to a colleague, ill ask neil and christine is spicy girl Geri Halliwell right to stand by her man . All of that is next. Well, a big reaction to a london theatre putting on black only performances that was the topic of my big opinion in the theatre are saying they want to include people who dont normally attend theatrical performances. Well, theatrical performances. Well, the emails are coming in thick and fast. Uh, lesley ann says and fast. Uh, lesley ann says hi. You imagine if a hi. Can you imagine if a producer said white people only . Can you imagine . This is ridiculous. It is racist. Mark says lesley ann and lizzie says, hi mark. What happens if a theatre says white people only is this not apartheid in all but name . Keep those emails coming. Lots more to get through and ill be tackling the issue of prince harry and his security in the uk at 10 00. In my take at ten. You wont want to miss it, but its time now for the big story. And the Prime Minister addressed the nation from downing evening downing street yesterday evening in an unexpected and unscheduled statement about the threat of extremism on british democracy. Take a listen. And it is beyond take a listen. And it is beyond alarming that last night the rochdale by election returned a candidate who dismisses the horror of what happened on october the 7th, who glorifies hezbollah and is endorsed by nick griffin , the racist former nick griffin, the racist former leader of the bnp. Well, old leader of the bnp. Well, old rishi is not pulling his punches , is he . But was his response about extremism too little, too late . Lets get the views of britains best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. Double act, neil and christine hamilton. Neil, are you double act, neil and christine hamilton. Neil, are you pleased hamilton. Neil, are you pleased to see the Prime Minister finally address this issue . Finally address this issue . I think its totally irrelevant. You say hes not pulling his punches. The trouble is hes incapable of punching anything and hes punching at his level, really punching at his level, really punching at his weight. You know, its just his weight. You know, its just more and more words. What is he actually going to do about all this political extremism . Whats he going to do about the failure of the police what the of the police to do what the pubuc of the police to do what the public overwhelmed , he wants to public overwhelmed, he wants to do take control of our do to take back control of our streets overwhelming streets for the overwhelming proportion of the British Public thatis proportion of the British Public that is not in favour of these demonstrations. Uh, demonstrations. Uh, pro palestine week after week after week. The trouble is, after week. The trouble is, weve got a weak government which has allowed this problem to fester away for years without doing anything about it. Even now , he has no serious proposal now, he has no serious proposal to control the immigration problem of this country. And were not talking about small boats. Were talking about the 1. 4 million resident visas that the government issued last year for foreigners to come and live and work in this country. Weve added a 6. 5 Million People to our population since 2010, when David Cameron became Prime Minister. You know, weve had an unprecedented rise in immigration under this current conservative government and this is the cause of the problem. Ultimately we are now in a society because the Muslim Population is getting to the stage where theres a Tipping Point where they reach a position where their vote really, really matters. In an election. I mean, george election. I mean, George Galloway got 40 of the vote in rochdale on a 38 poll gross that up to general election levels. That in itself is 20 or levels. That in itself is 20 or 25 of the electorate of rochdale. And there are many, many towns around the country like this. I mean, only 36 of the people who live in london, the people who live in london, the whole of london in the last census, um designated themselves as white british, you know, and we have communities living side by side with one another that dont want to assimilate. And this is going to get worse in the years to come. So i want to know, what is the Prime Minister actually going to do about it . Know, what is the Prime Minister actlheardioing to do about it . Know, what is the Prime Minister actlheard warm 0 do about it . Know, what is the Prime Minister actlheard warm words bout it . Know, what is the Prime Minister actlheard warm words bout night. We heard warm words last night. We heard warm words last night. We single proposal to do we had no single proposal to do anything all. Although neil, anything at all. Although neil, you that those coming you cant say that those coming to this country, legal net migration , you mentioned migration, you mentioned the figures. Migration, you mentioned the finge. Debate the scale, but we can debate the scale, but you say that all of those you cant say that all of those people are extremists and you cant all british cant say that all british muslims extremists. Yes. Muslims are extremists. Yes. Of course not. And oh, of course not. And i dont say that at all. But we have no idea who these people are this country. We are coming to this country. We dont their dont know what their motivations we know motivations are. And we know that there is a significant number of extremists who are on the mi5 number of extremists who are on the m15 watch list, about 50,000 or so of muslim extremist on the mi5 or so of muslim extremist on the m15 watch list. And if we dont m15 watch list. And if we dont know whos coming to this country, whether theyre legal or illegal, this is a problem which is only going to increase. And if people are going to start voting lines of their voting on lines of their personal identity rather than on their political ideology, this is a problem which is going to become the british become worse in the british political system. I political system. Um, well, i tend agree. Tend to agree. I tend to agree that if the outcome of a by election is based a war having based upon a war having happening miles happening several thousand miles away, is a problem for our away, that is a problem for our democracy, isnt it . Yes, i mean, 72 of muslims in the last general election in 2019 voted labour. So labour is overwhelmingly dependent upon the votes of migrant communities. And, you know, so the labour party will quietly become the spokesman for all these different ethnic groups. Well what im interested in is, is the majority of this country, um, who are not going to identify themselves by the colour of their skin or their religion or whatever, but people who think themselves as british and values are what we and whose values are what we think as traditional British Values and are going to identify with the United Kingdom and its interests rather than the interests rather than the interests the countries or interests of the countries or cultures theyve come i well, indeed, of course, uh, you know, we have an ethnic population, many are successfully integrated in the country. But as you say, with country. But as you say, with the ministers warning the Prime Ministers warning about extremism, not all, kristine, is the genie now out of the bottle. I dont know how you could ever police those so called peace marches every weekend. The cops are weekend. The cops are outnumbered. Outnumbered. Yeah, the genie is undoubtedly out of the bottle. Undoubtedly out of the bottle. And when i saw rishi sunak, we werent able to watch it live. But when i caught up with what rishi sunak said on the steps of downing street , i had the air downing street, i had the air that was like sleeping that he was like sleeping beauty, he been for the beauty, wheres he been for the last hundred years . Hes been last hundred years . Hes been asleep, has he not noticed whats when i say 100 years, i mean his what has he not noticed happened on his watch . Its as though he suddenly woken up to this awful reality which is facing this country. And after the next election , assuming the next election, assuming things go according to the way we think theyre all going to 90, we think theyre all going to go, there will be a very large number. And its not possible. Maybe a psephologist could, but its possible to put its not really possible to put a and niels just a number on. And niels just alluded to there will be a alluded to this. There will be a very number of mps the very large number of mps on the labour side whos loyalty is not to this country. Its not even to this country. Its not even to their constituents. I mean, what would George Galloways first words . This is for gaza. Im sorry , but rochdale really im sorry, but rochdale really is a very poor part of this country , and it needs an mp country, and it needs an mp whos going to say this is for rochdale, for not gaza, but there are going to be a large number of mps whose loyalty is to not this country. It is to their country of origin, or it is to religion. That is to their religion. And that to me is a very, very lamentable state of affairs for us to find ourselves in. And it seems that rishi sunak has just woken up. But its too late, of course, too late. Im glad. Glad youve called rishi sunak the sleeping beauty. Although i doubt youd want to give kiss. Um, its worth give him a kiss. Um, its worth stressing that. Yeah. Go i stressing that. Yeah. Go on. I was trying i was trying to think while neil was talking. I was trying to think of somebody else, you know . Not sleeping. Beauty, whod been sleeping. And beauty, whod been asleep years, but asleep for 100 years, but i couldnt. Think it wasnt couldnt. So i think it wasnt a bad one. If were doing if were doing disney characters. Christine, if rishi christine, i wonder if rishi is dumbo instead. Um, listen, is dumbo instead. Um, listen, let let me say that, uh, let me let me say that, uh, labour would contend and labour mps would contend and labour mps would contend and labour themselves would absolutely strongly argue that all of their candidates are focussed on the needs of their constituents and the country first. But of course, youre entitled to your view. Um, lets talk about this other story. If we can, following allegations that he flirtatious texts that he sent flirtatious texts to a colleague , red bull formula to a colleague, red bull formula one boss Christian Horner appeared at the grand prix today and in a very public display of affection, his wife, spice girl Geri Halliwell, gave him a big old kiss. So great news. Look at old kiss. So great news. Look at that. Look at that. Thats that. Look at that. Thats a that. Look at that. Thats a that reminds you of your wedding night , doesnt it, that reminds you of your wedding night, doesnt it, neil . I could recapitulate that on gb news live. No, no. Uh uh, gb news live. No, no. Uh uh, listen, lets, uh, lets bring my top pundits into this as well. Im delighted that with us tonight, we have Benedict Spence, rebecca jane lisa spence, rebecca jane and Lisa Mckenzie alongside , and the mckenzie alongside, and the hamiltons, uh, first for you, christine. Christine . Yes so, um, essentially, Christine Horner denies the allegations. Hes been cleared in an inquiry. So hes been found not guilty, but the rumours are that he sent texts to a female colleague. Is Jerry Halliwell right to stand by her man if she believes in him . Of course she is. I mean, what the heck is love for if it isnt standing by your man, its. I have no idea. Unlike apparently, the vast majority of people i have not seen these texts on social media. Ive been too busy recently, so i dont know what exactly said. Its know what exactly was said. Its between him and her and if theyve got something worth saving , it should be able to saving, it should be able to survive a few texts, frankly. So good for Geri Halliwell and i hope she does stand by him. And ihope hope she does stand by him. And i hope their marriage survives because she obviously believes in him. Otherwise she wouldnt be there now. She wouldnt have gone out. She would have turned round of round and come home. So of course survives. Yes. Course i hope it survives. Yes. I mean, know, love is a very i mean, you know, love is a very delicate thing and can be delicate thing and it can be broken. The trust, is broken. And the trust, this is the the trust. The the trouble. The trust. The trust broken in an trust can be broken in an instant. And i hope they can make it through this , i really do. I hope so too. Rebecca jane, is Geri Halliwell right to stand by her . Man, were you convinced by her . Man, were you convinced by that public display of affection . No i was not convinced by that. Public display of affection. I it was probably the i thought it was probably the most embarrassing thing ive seen a long time. You know, seen in a long time. You know, yesterdays publicly humiliating her. And today she stood at his side , kissing him on the cheek. Side, kissing him on the cheek. Ihave side, kissing him on the cheek. I have no respect for people that are not authentic. And if you cant tell me after the messages that came out yesterday that shes been wistfully happy with the smirk on her face, then blow me down with a feather. Its an absolute load of nonsense from the queen of girl power. She has nonsense from the queen of girl power. She has made an nonsense from the queen of girl power. She has made an absolute power. She has made an absolute embarrassing moment of herself. I dont think , however, that she i dont think, however, that she should not stand by him. I think that thats fine. I think that the public display of nonsensical, inauthentic affection today is the problem. Lisa mckenzie Christine Horner is not christine horney. According to his own state agent. He denies the allegations. What do you think . Oh, i did , i did see some of oh, i did, i did see some of the text earlier, actually, when i was sat in the green room and they didnt look very steamy to me, actually, they looked a bit rubbish and i just thought, well, it perhaps he should do better, you know , if shes got better, you know, if shes got 8 million reasons to stay , then, million reasons to stay, then, you know, good luck to her because there werent that, you know, they didnt appear to be apparently there was something about can a back flip. About can you do a back flip. Yeah. Thats the splits. Yeah. Thats the splits. That was it. Yeah that was it. Yeah i think that was it. Briefly benedict before christine, ill give you the last word briefly. Benedict. Then christine , i benedict. And then christine, i mean, mark, send lots of mean, mark, i send lots of people texts.

Um, listen, folks, thank end. Um, listen, folks, thank you very much. The hamiltons, well catch up very soon. Fabulous folks , that are. Fabulous folks, that you are. Brilliant. What fun. Brilliant stuff. What fun. Coming up next. Its an important discussion because millions are on them. Is anti depressant medication a scam . Depressant medication a scam . Well debate that next. Ill get to your emails very shortly. Youre watching mark dolan tonight. But first millions of people around the world rely on antidepressant medication to get through the day. But do these medication to get through the day. But do these drugs sometimes do more harm than good . Beverley thompson is the author of anti depressed , a author of anti depressed, a breakthrough examination of epidemic antidepressant harm and dependence, and im delighted to say that beverley joins me now. Say that beverley joins me now. Hi, beverley, what are the key findings of your book that may surprise my viewers and listeners . Listeners . Hi mark, thanks for inviting me to talk with you. Um, first me to talk with you. Um, first of all, i have to say, i do not say people shouldnt take antidepressants. Thats their antidepressants. Thats their choice. They have a right to take them if they want to. But what i do say is that there should be a form of informed about the potential risks as well as the benefits, which are very few , i have to say. Um, very few, i have to say. Um, i also have to say when i start to talk about this subject that nobody should ever stop taking antidepressants abruptly. Its antidepressants abruptly. Its very important. So youre right, very important. So youre right, 1 in 6 people in england , i was 1 in 6 people in england, i was about 8. 6 Million People take antidepressants and some of these drugs have been on the market now for 30 years. And people have been taking them for 30 years. And weve always trusted our doctors who probably told us that the drugs correct our chemical imbalance as well. Recent findings and the debunking of the chemical imbalance theory might have kind of made us question after 30 years of being on these drugs , years of being on these drugs, as some people have. Have we been gullible . Have we been been gullible . Have we been manipulated . Have we been lied manipulated . Have we been lied to about these drugs . To about these drugs . All important questions. To about these drugs . All important questions. Um, tell me about your concerns regarding side effects for a start, because thats a worry, isnt it . Yeah well, side effects are huge. Worry. And, you know, one of worry. And, you know, one of the main things that i always say and people very surprised when i say it is if you read a patient information leaflet and not many people do read the patient information leaflet when they get a medication and an ssri anti depressant has nearly 200 side effects , nearly 200 200 side effects, nearly 200 that can cause adverse effects. And some of them are very very serious. Um theres a couple in particular that , you know, i particular that, you know, i always have to talk to in the first is the increased risk of suicide, which we dont talk about enough. And we need to talk about more because especially with children, children have a double the risk of , of children have a double the risk of, of suicide if children have a double the risk of , of suicide if they are of, of suicide if they are taking antidepressants rather than if theyre not. And studies have, have confirmed this. So we need to be very careful. Theres something called akathisia which we need to learn more about, which does cause people to have suicide , suicidal ideation. Um, suicide, suicidal ideation. Um, so theres that and theres some thing else at the moment which is really, really coming into the media. Many people are suffering from something called, um , post ssri sexual dysfunction um, post ssri sexual dysfunction. Um, and young people in particular are not able to enjoy sex, are not able to have sex. And this is becoming irreversible. And people are finding that this is affecting their lives in major ways. Their lives in major ways. Well indeed. Now do anti depressants work for some people 7 depressants work for some people . Do you have an estimation of what percentage of these medications are helping people . Medications are helping people . No, we dont know. Medications are helping people . No, we dont know. Um, you know the placebo trials tell us that placebos work just as well as antidepressants. And what we as antidepressants. And what we find that is in real world trials with real patient sites, they dont work very well at all. So there was a very big study called the star d trial. Study called the star d trial. And even after four courses of treatment of antidepressants, only 34 of patients actually responded positively. Responded positively. Um, why do you think the nhs is so keen to hand out these drugs . Beverly well, you know , i think, well, you know, i think, mark, we have to look at the fact that the constant Mental Health messages that were heanng Health Messages that were hearing nowadays and im sorry to say it, thats media as well as the political, political obsession with it, um, have led to the increase in antidepressant prescribing. Antidepressant prescribing. You know, were told to get help. Were told to get screened. But for the majority of people, because there are no psychological therapies available, what happens is theyre prescribed medication, often unnecessary. Billy. Um if often unnecessary. Billy. Um if people are struggling with, uh , people are struggling with, uh, Mental Health issues, what steps do you think they should take . I think the first thing that a doctor or psychiatrist should do is ask them to wait, because many of the societal issues that were dealing with, many of the personal issues are transient. Personal issues are transient. Life is very fast moving nowadays , and most of the things nowadays, and most of the things that we suffer from , we get over that we suffer from, we get over pretty quickly. And, you know, pretty quickly. And, you know, i think there was a study at Brown University in 2006 that showed showed us if we if with no somatic treatment , 85 of somatic treatment, 85 of patients will actually recover within a year. Now, beverly briefly , lee, now, beverly briefly, lee, what would you say to those your critics who would argue that what youre saying in your book and what youve told me just now is dangerous, informed and is dangerous, ill informed and wrong . Well everything that i write in my book is evidence based , and i come from one based, and i come from one perspective, and that is to help patients. And that is the only reason i wrote my book. You know, were now at an age mark where we need to become empowered. We need to become empowered. We need more autonomy when it comes to being a patient. The i think the age of doctor knows best is well and truly over. Uh, most definitely. And of uh, most definitely. And of course, the Pharmaceutical Company make a lot of money from these medications. Its important to follow the money. Beverly of course, they make a lot of money from these medications, but not as much nowadays. Obviously. Now weve got the generics, um, as they did when they were. They were prescribing they were. They were prescribing the brand drugs. Um, but youre the brand drugs. Um, but youre right, its become a massive industry and what were what were seeing is were seeing these Massive Industries and the messages that were sending, theyre enabling and allowing governments to fail to acknowledge and address the social, social determinants affecting our lives , which are affecting our lives, which are causing us more happiness and which are causing us anxiety and are causing all the symptoms , are causing all the symptoms, symptoms we associate with bad health. You know, the chemical imbalance theory, mark was a political no brainer. Political no brainer. Mhm. Well, there you go. And listen. Its all about listen. Its all about challenging orthodoxies. I challenging orthodoxies. I appreciate your time beverly. Let me tell you the book is out now. Now its got the country talking. Ive got to say you can agree with it. You can disagree with it. But its a read. With it. But its worth a read. Its antidepressant its called antidepressant a breakthrough examination of epidemic antidepressant harm and dependence. Back to me for a second, if you can. Thank you. Beverly uh, listen, folks, if youre out on anti depression, its. Dont suddenly come off them. Always the advice of them. Always take the advice of your gp if youre feeling depressed. If youre happy, de p 90 ressed. I f youre not ha ppy depressed.

Totally thats right. Totally did throughout whole we did throughout our whole careers. Yeah. Um, so we just wanted of use those wanted to kind of use those skills, and were nosy. Mark. Mark. Thats absolutely key and observant. Yeah. The clues are out yeah. The clues are out there. Yeah. So what are the services that you specialise in . So we do a lot of surveillance. So we do a lot of surveillance. And what that involves is essentially following people. Yeah. Yeah. Basically we find out yeah. Basically we find out information. So at verity hinton information. So at verity hinton we say to people, our clients not knowledge is power. If we can do a job of find out information that you dont know when you give us the case, its a success. Mainly its we do cheating partners, which is one of our main things catfishing , of our main things catfishing, uh, scammers, Corporate Investigations and confidence trickster is all of that. Everything. So if it was adultery, what would happen . Somebody would come and theyd say, oh, i think my husband or my wife is being unfaithful. Mind unfaithful. Would you mind gathering some information so that i gathering some information so thati can gathering some information so that i can know more . Yeah so a lot of people will call us up and theyve just a us up and theyve got just a feeling somethings not feeling that somethings not right. And it might be that they cant really put their finger on something. Um, but theyve got that so they call us, that feeling. So they call us, well talk them through it and, and well come up with the best Cost Effective way of finding out that information. And it might be, lets say its potentially cheating its a potentially cheating husband. It might be that you watch going to work. You watch him going to work. You watch him going to work. You watch him going to work. You watch him when comes out of work. Yeah. Yeah. Basically build a plan basically we build a plan around information have. Around the information we have. So even be that the so it may even be that the client can engineer going away on holiday and to leave the opportunist the opportunities there for the person in um, and we would conduct a whole investigation around that , investigation around that, whether that including surveillance, tracking , um, we, surveillance, tracking, um, we, we do everything. We do everything. Um, does any of it ever feel morally compromising . Do you ever feel bad about the work youre doing . Not really. I think because we get to know the client so well. And do you not feel like, you know all this poor bloke and im harassing him . Im following to work. Im following him to work. Im following him to work. Definitely not harassing him. No, were not, were not harassing him. So to know harassing him. So we get to know the really well and we the clients really well and we get involved in the case, unlike some that you some other people that you may call will just kind of take call who will just kind of take your money and not really give your money and not really give you much information. No empathy your money and not really give y0lthe|ch information. No empathy your money and not really give y0lthe client. Rmation. No empathy your money and not really give y0lthe client. Yeahon. No empathy your money and not really give y0lthe client. Yeah we no empathy your money and not really give y0lthe client. Yeah we reallynpathy for the client. Yeah we really get to know them and get involved in the case, and we get so emotionally attached that we really find that information. Also, mark, the people that were weve were dealing with. Weve got a lot women men that lot of women and men that basically being sometimes basically there being sometimes abused quite seriously. Theyve been told theyre going crazy. Theyre told theyre going mad, theyre in therapy , you know, theyre in therapy, you know, theyre in therapy, you know, theyre in therapy, you know, theyre in a really bad way. By theyre in a really bad way. By the time they come to a private investigator, pretty the time they come to a private invest at itor, pretty the time they come to a private invest at the pretty the time they come to a private invest at the end pretty the time they come to a private invest at the end theiry the time they come to a private invest at the end their tether. Much at the end of their tether. Okay this isnt something you do every they really need every day. And they really need help. Tell that, help. And you can tell that, cant you speak to cant you . When you speak to these theyve been this these people, theyve been this has going a while. Has been going on for a while. Well yes. Em elm because for example, a serial a adulterer that a serial, uh, adulterer that is a serial, uh, adulterer that is a abuse, isnt it . A form of abuse, isnt it . Really . Because really . Yeah. Because youre endlessly partner endlessly lying to your partner and gaslighting. And its the gaslighting. Gaslighting gaslighting the gaslighting. Gaslighting is known phrase now. But, is a is a known phrase now. But, you a of people. Am you know, a lot of people. Am i being being being paranoid . Youre being paranoid. And people that paranoid. And some people that we helped have been treated we have helped have been treated really, really very badly. And all they needed was evidence, the evidence to get support from outside members of the family so that they could move on. But they needed that evidence. It was so important. They needed that evidence. It waslso important. They needed that evidence. It wasis it mportant. They needed that evidence. It wasis it difficultt. They needed that evidence. It wasis it difficult to trust is it difficult to trust people this job people after doing this job because people up to no because you see people up to no good . It affected your view because you see people up to no go human it affected your view because you see people up to no go human nature cted your view because you see people up to no go human nature aed your view because you see people up to no go human nature a little ur view because you see people up to no go human nature a little bit . Ew of human nature a little bit . Yes. Of human nature a little bit . Ies. Of human nature a little bit . I wasnt so much. I wasnt my so much. I wasnt my so much. Mean, i dealt with i mean, i dealt with paedophiles when in paedophiles before when i was in child protection. Kind of child protection. So kind of like that edge of like dealt with that edge of society. Now i think , yeah, society. And now i think, yeah, i we just observe more and i think we just observe more and you know, what we have learned to is trust sixth to do is trust our this sixth sense. Yeah. To trust your intuition, very rarely lets intuition, it very rarely lets us down. And i mean , for those and i mean, for those watching, what might of the watching, what might some of the clues your partner is clues be that your partner is being . Well, um , an being unfaithful . Well, um, an obvious one is being quite secretive over your phone. Secretive over your phone. Um, um, taking it to the shower with you and things like that. Um, lack of sex in the relationship, lack of intimacy. Relationship, lack of intimacy. De, um, sneaking off the phone calls, um, late nights at work. Oh, yeah. I think those kind of things. Yeah. Yeah. I think in a relationship, you know, in an intimate relationship , i you know, in an intimate relationship, i think its quite easy to tell when your partner has , you know, slipped away from has, you know, slipped away from you , emotionally detached you, emotionally detached themselves is at that stage that you think somethings going on here and it might not be. I mean , thats other thing we do. , thats the other thing we do. We peoples innocence. , thats the other thing we do. We as peoples innocence. , thats the other thing we do. We as well eoples innocence. , thats the other thing we do. We as well asples innocence. , thats the other thing we do. We as well as provingiocence. , thats the other thing we do. We as well as proving if ence. , thats the other thing we do. We as well as proving if they. Yeah. As well as proving if they are guilty because we are following people and weve gone back said, this back to clients and said, this guy doing wrong, guy is not doing anything wrong, you sit down. You need you need to sit down. You need to some together to have some therapy together and work through this. Yeah. Sometimes are just sometimes clients are just paranoid. Maybe theyre paranoid. Yeah, maybe theyre suffering and suffering with anxiety and theyre just paranoid that their partner will partner is doing something. Will follow the partner and will provide the evidence that actually, theyre doing what theyre saying. Theyre doing. Well, what was asking further to what i was asking you it strikes that you earlier, it strikes me that what deeply ethical, what you do is deeply ethical, not because you not unethical, because what you do simply get to the do is you simply get to the truth, which is what police truth, which is what a Police Officer detective is now officer does. A detective is now what for in what you do for people in a domestic setting, are there any cases out over cases that have stood out over the naming names, cases that have stood out over the you naming names, cases that have stood out over the you just naming names, cases that have stood out over the you just thought� ng names, cases that have stood out over the you just thought1gwas|es, where you just thought it was a remarkable situation to deal with . Weve got so many stories. Yeah. E m ust e every day you must you must have saved. Youre obviously youve youre obviously what youve doubtless done is youve ended a few and saved couple few marriages and saved a couple as i think weve as well. Right. I think weve saved lives. Have honest. I have to be honest. I have to be honest. Really . Now how in what context . Say that . Context . How could you say that . Tell me more. Context . How could you say that . Telilete more. Context . How could you say that . Telilet me re. Context . How could you say that . Telilet me tell about one let me tell you about one case. Cant go into it too case. We cant go into it too much. Wouldnt. But much. Obviously wouldnt. But its a lady that was being scammed for hundreds of thousands of pounds, and she thought she was with, um, a reasonably person in reasonably famous person in london. Theyd bought a house online, theyd online, theyd facetime, theyd theyd had a full on relationship. Although theyd never of course he never met. And of course he then, um , he wanted to expose then, um, he wanted to expose her, uh, to her church, to her school when she refused to pay money. And the money dried up, he said, well, thats it, im going to send the sexual videos that weve done together. Im going to send to going to send these to everybody. So everybody know and she a state and she was she was in a state and she was at the brink of suicide. We spent and on the spent nights and nights on the phone her talking her. Phone to her talking to her. This was way beyond what any other investigator companies would do at verity hinton. We are involved with the client are so involved with the client and we care. We actually were empaths. We care about our clients and i guess what you do eventually, sometimes dovetails into the law, and you might be into the law, and you might be in position where youll share in a position where youll share the information you have with the information you have with the authorities. Often we do a lot. Quite often we do a lot. Quite often we do a lot. Given that if you think that i for example, i mean, for example, revenge porn, illegal, it . Yeah. E sextortion, the yes. And sextortion, the trouble unfortunately , with trouble is, unfortunately, with the um , they just the police force, um, they just do not have the manpower and the resources to deal with some of these. So were finding more cases come to us first to collect the evidence to put into a package, to then present to the police. Well, remarkable. Have well, its remarkable. Have you you got like, you got, uh, have you got like, a mac . Have you got the a brown mac . Have you got the pork pie hat . Ive some weed. Ive got some weed. Ive got some weed. Wigs, some youve got wigs, some disguises. Disguises. Weve got some great disguise. Youve done stakeouts where you and wait for you sit in the car and wait for someone to come out of a building. Yeah, of course, all the time, course. Time, of course. Much. Us unbelievable. Not so much. Us now were the face of now because were the face of the business. Are, and the business. Yeah, we are, and were but we do have were running it. But we do have people that for us. Us. Look, its been a thrill to have you one more thing.

Plus my doctor Lisa Mckenzie. Plus my punst doctor Lisa Mckenzie. Plus my pundits will be nominating their headune pundits will be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day a busy hour and those papers are coming. But first, my take at ten. Prince harry has lost his legal case against the home office for top level Police Protection. When hes in the uk now. God knows ive had my disagreements with prince harry in recent years. Its my view that he threw his family , his country and the family, his country and the monarchy under the bus just to make a fast buck. Its worth remembering that back in the day, prince harry was one of the most popular royals cheeky party going fun loving, a breath of fresh air. He served in the military. He was one of the boys he liked to drink. Military. He was one of the boys he liked to drink. He liked to lady. No problem. Im a dashing lady. No problem. Im a dashing young prince with a big future and an inexhaustible well of pubuc and an inexhaustible well of public support. But hooray, harry became the prodigal prince and now many in his own family and now many in his own family and in his home country, will never forgive that devastating Oprah Winfrey interview in which he and his wife, meghan, effectively accused the royal family of racism , a devastating family of racism, a devastating accusation from which the couple later rowed back by talking about unconscious bias instead. But the damage was done. There was the cringeworthy Netflix Series when, in one particular scene, harry had to sit there whilst his wife meghan mocked having to curtsy to Queen Elizabeth. At that point, even the prince looked embarrassed to be there. Now the royals are all be there. Now the royals are all celebrities. They are in the front line and they should be able to handle a bit of public criticism and accountability, even if its friendly fire from the formerly helicopter flying harry. But the book, spare crossed the line. Not so much because of its content. It turned out to be a bit tamer than some of harrys previous comments. It was the fact that as she battled poor health in her ninth decade, his grandmother the queen, had to grapple with the knowledge that his book was coming. It was his book was coming. It was hanging over our monarch like the sword of damocles, and this remarkable lady was left with many months of worry about what might be in the book and what damage it might do to a family and an institution to which she devoted her life. Some have said that the harry drama hastened the queens demise , as we will the queens demise, as we will never know, to and me that sounds a bit harsh on harry, but it certainly cant have done her health. The power of good and prince harry will have to live with that thought. However, ive with that thought. However, ive personally been very torn on where the prince harry should have full Police Protection when hes in the United Kingdom. On the one hand, why should taxpayers fork out for somebody thats left the country and the institution . He is no longer a working, serving royal, but i dont think it matters. He is one of the most famous men in the world, and whether hes a royal or not, he is an ambassador for this country and he still does Good Charitable causes. The invictus games. And causes. The invictus games. And he is still a nice and charming guy with a heart. And whilst he has left the royal family and departed, these shores, he was and remains the son of king charles. That is a biological fact. Well, lets hope so. And fact. Well, lets hope so. And it wasnt his choice to be born into royalty. It wasnt his choice to be the son of the king. And for that reason , i king. And for that reason, i think he should have equal Police Protection to his brother william when he is in this country. He couldnt be a more country. He couldnt be a more high profile figure. And unfortunately , like all the unfortunately, like all the royals, harry will be a target for some very bad people. I fear that if, god forbid, anything happened to him or his family, the authorities would have blood on their hands. So no, its not often that i back prince harry, but on this one he has my support. Look what happened to support. Look what happened to his poor mum killed in a paris tunnelin his poor mum killed in a paris tunnel in the 1990s with an allegedly drunk chauffeur for a top Royal Security insider recently told me that diana would still be with us today if she had had top Royal Protection at that time. So lets not make the same mistake twice. Prince the same mistake twice. Prince harry needs full protection and the best weve got. Yes, he might be a numpty, but hes our numpty. Its the first nice numpty. Its the first nice thing ive said about prince harry in about 11 years. But i do think he needs Royal Protection. I know its irritating. I know its frustrating. I know its an insult. How hes behaved. But he insult. How hes behaved. But he did not choose to be the son of the king. Whats your view, did not choose to be the son of the kirat whats your view, did not choose to be the son of the kirat gbnews. Com. Iew, did not choose to be the son of the kirat gbnews. Com. Lets get mark . At gbnews. Com. Lets get the reaction now of my top pundits, political commentator rebecca jane, free from the shackles of ukip an independent woman once again allied to no party other than his own journalist Benedict Spence and fearless broadcaster and official anarchist doctor Lisa Mckenzie. Rebecca jane i think mckenzie. Rebecca jane i think that prince harry needs full Armed Security when hes in britain. Whats your view . No um , you say obviously he didnt choose to be born into the royal family, but he did choose to leave. And that is something that comes with being part of the royal family, which is something that he made this big triumph and announcement that he no longer wanted to be part of, and he wanted to go live this he wanted to go and live this lovely, quiet in, in lovely, quiet life in, in america. If he went and america. Well, if he went and lived lovely, quiet life in lived the lovely, quiet life in america, he probably wouldnt need that he now need the security that he now claims to need. You know, i claims to need. You know, i dont understand it in the slightest. Go and live that little peaceful life that you kept on talking about so much , kept on talking about so much, and get rid of the whole royal family that you saw, apparently despise. Now. Despise. Now. Well, no , no uncertain okay, well, no, no Uncertain Terms there. Benedict spence. Terms there. Benedict spence. I mean, still, i think, i mean, hes still, i think, well, fifth in line to the throne. He hasnt actually throne. He hasnt actually stepped away from the line of succession. Does remain succession. So he does remain a relatively important part of the royal family in that sense. And i think, you know, especially in the week that weve discovered that theres going to be extra money made available for Police Protection certain mps, protection for mps, certain mps, because against them. Because of threats against them. I we have to recognise i think we have to recognise actually that there are many pubuc actually that there are many public sadly weve public figures. Sadly weve allowed get a allowed ourselves to get to a position many position where there are many pubuc position where there are many public are public figures who are threatened by members of the pubuc threatened by members of the public for various different reasons, and i think prince harry falls that harry probably falls under that category. Category. You think lisa what do you think Lisa Mckenzie i know youd rather not have a royal family all, but have a royal family at all, but if you are the son of the king, do need armed cops around do you need armed cops around you . You . I you . I you . I i was going to i thought i was going to agree with you tonight. I thought you were going to do a scathing, uh, sort of take on on harry costing his money. And now i find that im. Youve not done that. Im a bit disappointed. I was going to agree with you. I was going to agree with you. I was surprised, no, im not gonna keep guessing. I know, so keep you guessing. I know, so im really disappointed that i cant you, no , cant agree with you, but no, no, hes gone to america. Its no, hes gone to america. Its the best place for him. Its the the best place for him. Its the best place for all of them. Actually i think they should all go there. Ive said it many times. Go and live in the disney castle. Wave at people. Let the castle. Wave at people. Let the americans pay for all of them. I dont want to pay for any of them. Are they still . Them. Are they still . But i mean, does it not weigh on your on your mind and your conscience . Lisa, that given his high profile position because of an accident of birth , an accident of birth, unfortunately this guy is a target for some bad people. Lisa no, it doesnt weigh on my conscience at all because i know that there are other people because of the accident of their birth , they might starve to birth, they might starve to death in the next two years, or they might not be able to put they might not be able to put the heating on and may freeze to death. Accident of death. So, you know, accident of birth ways. He gets birth works both ways. He gets the good times. You know, he hes not sort of, uh, 51 weeks of the year, sort of freezing and then comes to england and cant have any free coppers. Although benedict i mean, i do wonder, you know, god forbid if something happened to harry. And pray that will never and we pray that will never happen. But but if it did, i dont think it would reflect very on the United Kingdom very well on the United Kingdom as it wouldnt. As a country. No it wouldnt. Again, also its and again, i also think its a bit sort of churlish to a bit sort of churlish of to us say, you turned your say, oh, well, you turned your back on sort of royal duties. Therefore youre sort at the therefore youre sort of at the mercy whatever might mercy of, of whatever might happen you and actually , you happen to you and actually, you know, think in the grand know, i dont think in the grand scheme the things scheme of things, the things that spend money on, given that we do spend money on, given the of Police Protection, the amount of Police Protection, as already given as i say, that has already given to of people, i dont to a lot of people, i dont think sort of sparing a couple of there when of officers here and there when hes not hes in the uk, which is not very often , uh, is a massive very often, uh, is a massive take out of the out of, out of the personal protection budget. Im sure actually that they can the personal protection budget. In spared ctually that they can the personal protection budget. In spared from ly that they can the personal protection budget. In spared from other they can the personal protection budget. In spared from other members of be spared from other members of the family as and when the royal family as and when is necessary. I think that necessary. So i do think that theres a sort its of theres a sort of its a sort of quite a uniquely british, quite churlish, sort of penny churlish, quite sort of penny pinching attitude to say, ah , pinching attitude to say, ah, well, you know, that sucks for you. But youre going you. But youre just going to have lump it. I think have to sort of lump it. I think actually were than actually were better than that, frankly. Frankly. W w e jane, i think if uh, rebecca jane, i think if in is granted police in the end he is granted Police Protection this country, protection in this country, those coppers will need to be paid double just to with those coppers will need to be pai orouble just to with those coppers will need to be pai oroubmoaning with those coppers will need to be paioroubmoaning and with those coppers will need to be pai oroubmoaning and hiswith all of his moaning and his navalny gazing. But, um, we do we do need to reflect on what happened to his mother, diana. Now a top Royal Security insider told me recently that if diana had had a proper british Police Protection, shed be with us today. Protection, shed be with us today. Do we want to make the today. Do we want to make the same mistake twice . Same mistake twice . Right. Listen, its two different stories and also were talking about protection when hes here in the uk. Talking about protection when hes here in the uk. What hes here in the uk. What happened to diana was obviously not obviously here in the uk. Not obviously here in the uk. Then also we talk about the other. The stance of this is that, you know, when he chose to leave, youre not trying to tell me now that uk Police Officers are the absolute best in security that i could ever be, he chose to go over to america. He chose to make a commercial life for himself. He could pay life for himself. He could pay for the best security that there is. Hes made those decisions. He knew that it was part of the deal he knew that it was part of the deal. When he decided to leave and become this commercial figure, and hes probably not making the money that he thought he was going to make. Now he was going to make. So now hes back begging hes coming back here begging for help. Know, you made the for help. You know, you made the decision. Live or ill decision. Live with it or ill tell you what. Make amends, go back to your father, say really sorry. Shouldnt have left. Try sorry. Shouldnt have left. Try and apology to the and make an apology to the British Public, and then maybe and make an apology to the briticanyublic, and then maybe and make an apology to the britican have, and then maybe and make an apology to the britican have your then maybe and make an apology to the britican have your security, ybe and make an apology to the britican have your security, too. You can have your security, too. Whats your view . Do you think that harry should the same royal should have the same Royal Protection as his brother william, hes the united william, when hes in the United Kingdom . Up, queen kingdom . Coming up, Queen Camilla gets a well deserved break. A possible new role for Prince Andrew. And joe biden has another senior moment or two. Well get reaction from the queen of us showbiz , royal and queen of us showbiz, royal and political reporting, Kinsey Schofield. Plus those papers are on the way well, a big reaction to my take at ten. Ive caused some controversy by suggesting that i think prince harry should have proper, top level royal Police Protection when hes in the uk , protection when hes in the uk, the same level as his brother william. Why . Because it wasnt his choice to be the son of the king. Well, the emails are coming in thick and fast and largely you do not agree with me. Peter says good evening mark. If you left gb news, god forbid, says peter , would you forbid, says peter, would you expect them to continue to give you luncheon vouchers . No. You wouldnt. Harry left the monarchy , so no more freebies monarchy, so no more freebies for him. I remember luncheon for him. I remember luncheon vouchers werent they fantastic . Bhng vouchers werent they fantastic . Bring them back , i say. Peter, bring them back, i say. Peter, thank you for your kind words. Thank you for your kind words. Nick says mark, harry is not a working royal doesnt pay uk tax. He can pay for his own security. He. No, no no , says security. He. No, no no, says james, whos not happy with me. Jane says i will never, ever , jane says i will never, ever, ever watch you again. This guy ever watch you again. This guy asked to be a target by his dreadful behaviour. No, he dreadful behaviour. No, he should not have protection. Should not have protection. Princess diana refused Royal Protection. Janie um, if harry is to be treated equally to his brother whilst in the uk, he must behave according me. He lacks the manners that befit a middle aged man, let alone a prince of United Kingdom. Prince of the United Kingdom. Let tell you that you let me tell you that you predominantly with me. Predominantly disagree with me. Ive got one message of support from andy says hi mark, i from andy who says hi mark, i agree with your thoughts about prince think hes prince harry, but i think hes been a middle by been placed in a middle by meghan. Uh, it meghan markle. Well, uh, its it is, uh, me meghan or your family. And thats his problem. Andy thank you for that. Thank you for your emails. I love getting them. Its the best bit of keep them coming. Of the show. Keep them coming. Mark gb news. Com but first mark at gb news. Com but first us news the queen of us news and the queen of american royal and american showbiz royal and political reporting Kinsey Schofield kinsey. Great to have you back on the show. Now listen , you were were not were not slated to talk about the prince harry story, but, um, ive kind of surprised a few people by suggesting i think he should have Royal Protection when have armed Royal Protection when hes in britain. What do you think . Well , they arent my well, they arent my taxpayers that are my tax dollars that are paying for prince harrys protection. But i agree with you. I think that he should feel safe and he should feel safe to bring his family back to see his father. If thats case. Thats the case. Listen , lets talk well, listen, lets talk about his mother in law, not mother in law. His stepmother , mother in law. His stepmother, kinsey. Queen camilla gets a well deserved break. Tell me more. More. Thats right. Queen camilla has no engagements on her agenda this week, with the times reporting that she will spend a few days of downtime with the king. Camilla has been working overtime to support the monarchy just last month, she repeatedly drove over six hours to a royal engagement after her flight was grounded because she reportedly did not want to let down her husband. She will resume engagements on march 11th, representing king and representing the king and leading the royal family for the Commonwealth Day service at westminster , a source told westminster abbey, a source told the although was not the times. Although she was not expecting to find herself in the position leading the family, position of leading the family, the is absolutely prepared the queen is absolutely prepared to to be done to do whatever needs to be done for the institution and can i just say, speaking of harry, i think the fact that Queen Camilla is seen as leading the family is significant proof that prince harry would not return to temporary support the family because camillas elevated position is likely not something sitting well with him right now. He loved Queen Elizabeth the second. He likely resents the idea of Queen Camilla and we know that thats a position he felt like his mother should be in. Most definitely. He was very nasty about Queen Camilla in his book spare. Book spare. He. He was so. Book spare. He. He was so. So i imagine he. He was so. So i imagine that the idea of her leading the family is something he has a hard time digesting. Hard time digesting. There you go. What about, uh , there you go. What about, uh, princess kate . I understand that, uh, a big star in america made a joke about her. Well youre being very kind. Big star, 90s pop star. But Breast Cancer survivor sheryl crow posted a video on x announcing an appearance on jemmy kimmel live the caption read, im going to be on jemmy kimmel live tonight, but wheres Kate Middleton . In the video, Kate Middleton . In the video, shes telling a person like a makeup person or something out of , if you speed it of frame, if you can speed it up, Kate Middleton of frame, if you can speed it up, lunch. Kate middleton of frame, if you can speed it up, lunch. Kaonlinedleton of frame, if you can speed it up, lunch. Kaonline has n for lunch. Reaction online has been mixed, some users were been mixed, but some users were quick to point out the coverage of crows difficult Breast Cancer diagnosis and treatment, and asked where her empathy was. Remember, there were rumours that Lance Armstrong had broken up with her over her Breast Cancer had to have been cancer that had to have been hard tabloid fodder for her to consume someone else tweeted, i thought you were dead and youre here asking about katherine. I guess the lesson is think before you tweet. Except i havent thought of sheryl crow in 20 years, so maybe mission accomplished. Accomplished. Go. Lets there you go. Lets hopefully, it as hopefully, uh, put it down as another years to come before another 20 years to come before we talk about again. We talk about her again. What about princess um, what about princess katherine . Know shes katherine . Do we know how shes doing . A right to doing . Do we have a right to know about her health at all . Kinsey well, to according the times, we did hear about princess katherine this week. She told page six here, here in the states. Her representative said states. Her representative said shes doing well. Were not shes doing well. Were not giving any more updates, but according the prince according to the times, Prince William finding the level of william is finding the level of social media commentary around his family challenging as of late. Id like to something late. Id like to Say Something that its none of your that he cant. Its none of your damn business, mark. Its none of business. Princess of of my business. The princess of wales and her team stated very clearly that privacy was all they asked for until easter , and they asked for until easter, and this is a hot take. But harry and meghan have spent four years over sharing and its warped. Our expectations of real working royals versus the montecito reality stars. Harrys book, their netflix whinge fest and meghan announcing her miscarriage in the new york times. That is not the type of behaviour we can expect from working members of the royal family. So to quote my least favourite disney movie, let it go, katherine is the definition of strength. Stoicism never complain, never explain. You will not find her doing the media rounds looking for sympathy over this mystery ailment. And that is why one day she will be queen. Speaking of somebody that would like to be queen, but likely only the queen of hollywood , meghan markle, who hollywood, meghan markle, who has made a new appointment. Tell me more. Me more. Oh my goodness. To continue with the 666 harry and meghan relaunch slash rebrand. According to page six, meghan has hired adele as stylist who will hopefully in turn introduce meghan to a steamer and a tailor. If im being honest, according to lauren sherman, who got this scoop quote, markle needs to make money and sharpening her look could be the first step in something bigger. Not only should she be gunning for endorsements , but i wouldnt for endorsements, but i wouldnt be surprised if she was keen to develop her own fashion line. I hope she develops some spanx knockoffs like kim kardashian. She could call them spanx or princess panties. Princess panties. Youre on fire tonight. Somebody that, sadly is not on fire is the leader of the free world. That joe biden has another senior moment. Alistair i think youve got a clip. Do you want do you want to talk us into this clip . Do you know the clip thats coming . Kinsey i mean, well, i should, but there are so many gaffes these days, i think. I think this one pertains to his confusion about geography. Yes on friday coming days, were going to join with our friends and jordan and others from providing air drops of additional food and supplies into ukraine. Okay so for those that werent fully concentrating , what did he do in that clip . What went wrong . What went wrong . Yes. So this was yesterday. He confused gaza with ukraine twice as he announced that the us would provide additional aid to is. This is not to palestinian is. This is not a hot topic of conversation in the state. 65 believe the israeli hamas war is important to them , hamas war is important to them, and 59 of americans believe the war between russia and ukraine is important. According to a pew research centre. So this is not necessarily, you know, on everybodys minds. However. Over the weekend, comedian bill maher gave a blistering monologue on bidens age, saying the president walks like a toddler with a full diaper. Oh dear. At what point do you think the penny will drop that this guy is not well enough mentally to be president . Mentally to be president . You and i have been for talking two years about how Michelle Obama might step in, and were just now seeing some of those stories circulating in mainstream media. Id say any day now. Wow. Listen, kinsey, always wow. Listen, kinsey, always the highlights of the weekend having you on. Well catch up in a weeks time.

Can britain afford tax cuts in next weeks budget . Budget . Uh, almost certainly not. Were almost certainly not going to get the tax cuts that we need. But at the same time, what we really is growth. And we really need is growth. And one ways that you one of the great ways that you can growth getting can get growth is by getting people spending again in the economy and getting businesses people spending again in the econo ablend getting businesses people spending again in the econo able nd operate businesses people spending again in the econo able nd operate bus betters being able to operate on better margins. Would hope that margins. So you would hope that there of tax there would be some sort of tax alleviation, there isnt alleviation, but there isnt going this is to going to be and this is going to be squib, im be a real damp squib, im afraid. Been promised for afraid. Weve been promised for afraid. Weve been promised for a long time a very long time by the conservatives cuts conservatives um, that tax cuts are coming a bit like how game of thrones spent sort of five years promising us dragons. Oh theyre coming, theyre coming, years promising us dragons. Oh theyre coming. Theyre coming, years promising us dragons. Oh theyre coming. And re coming, theyre coming. And it got further then by further and further. And then by the came , the show the time they came, the show wasnt interesting anymore. The time they came, the show wasnt what interesting anymore. The time they came, the show wasnt what these ;ting anymore. The time they came, the show wasnt what these ;tingcuts more. Thats what these tax cuts basically are for the tories. Theyve been saying tax cuts are coming. Are coming, coming. Tax cuts are coming, but theyre do theyre not actually going to do anything they come. Anything for you when they come. Theyre not going to be very large. I mean are sort large. I mean here we are sort of fighting £0. 02 tuppence. Of fighting over £0. 02 tuppence. Its make its not going to make the blindest difference if it blindest bit of difference if it actually and even actually does come in. And even if bring in tax cuts, if they do bring in tax cuts, its too late now for people to feel change in pocket, feel the change in their pocket, which they which is actually what they would not tax cuts that would vote on, not tax cuts that they youve they would say, look, youve been been in power been in 14, youve been in power for why have done for 14 years. Why have you done it beforehand . Theyre going to say, to know whether or it beforehand . Theyre going to say,i to know whether or it beforehand . Theyre going to say,i feel to know whether or it beforehand . Theyre going to say,i feel wealthier whether or it beforehand . Theyre going to say,i feel wealthier nowther or it beforehand . Theyre going to say,i feel wealthier now thanyr not i feel wealthier now than i did the start of the did at the start of the parliament, its hard to parliament, and its hard to find feels even on find anybody who feels even on parity they the parity with how they were at the start parliament. But start of this parliament. But Lisa Mckenzie, if you cut taxes, youre to have the economy youre going to have the economy growing, for growing, which is more money for the schools, for the nhs, for schools, for policing rest of policing and all the rest of it. Always that. See, they always use that. But thats not. And as but thats thats not. And as benedict theres nothing benedict says, theres nothing going quick here. Going to be quick here. I mean, if they taxes and even if if they cut taxes and even if that that model did work, which theres not any evidence he does because, uh, trickle down has never worked. Its theres never never worked. Its theres never been any evidence that it works. But even if it did, youre looking sort of 2 or 3 years, four years into the future before anybody would actually feel it. And thats not, you feel it. And thats not, you know , its not going to happen. Know, its not going to happen. But isnt this about tax cuts for ordinary working brits . I agree with you. I dont think the billionaires getting richer really helps any of us, as long as they stay uk and spend as they stay in the uk and spend their money but nurses, their money here. But nurses, doctors , other people, people doctors, other people, people that work in education like you, surely they could with a few surely they could do with a few more in their pocket. And more quid in their pocket. And thats would deliver. We do, but we do well, we do, but we do deserve money because weve had, um, paid disparity for a long time. But , but time. But, but these sort of time. But , but these sort of little but, but these sort of little bits of tax cuts here and there is not going to its not going to what we it to do. You to do what we need it to do. You know, the moment live in a know, at the moment i live in a city that is now bankrupt. Right now that is what people are talking. Thats nottingham. Thats nottingham. Yeah, were actually bank roped, which means the services are cut to the bone. So so if the tories want to do something then perhaps looking at, um local services actually might be a better vote winner. Well, what do you think about this, rebecca . Jane, i know you believe in low tax in principle. Can the country afford them like youve both just said . I dont think its going to make the blindest bit of difference right now. And, you difference right now. And, you know, if we look at the express headlines, tax or loose headlines, cut tax or loose gravel , thats not going to gravel, thats not going to swing a grey vote for you. Whatll swing a grey vote is actually if you sort out the nhs, you sort out crime and you actually, well , you know, actually, well, you know, immigration dare i say it, there is, you know, we have a lot of these headlines about there is record spending in the nhs. Yes. Record spending in the nhs. Yes. The problem is not the money and where its coming from, the problem they know how problem is they dont know how to because they dont to spend it because they dont have what have a flipping clue what theyre i nearly theyre doing. And i nearly swore where its swore its well, its where its after the watershed its after the watershed and its saturday knocking. Saturday night knocking. My mother would kill me. My mother would kill me. To said, though, its got to be said, though, if talking about winning if were talking about winning back grey vote, ultimately, back the grey vote, ultimately, what things would what are the things that would really right really benefit the country right now . Kick now . What would really kick start like start growth . Things like building, actually able building, actually being able to building, actually being able to build first place, build things in the first place, that growth, that would help growth, things like prices, would like energy prices, that would really actually really help growth. But actually housing would help. Although it wont down prices. But wont bring down prices. But we do shortage. But energy do have a shortage. But energy is the other thing. And actually what the thing stops us what is the thing that stops us from things . It from having these things . It tends grey it tends to be the grey vote. It tends to be the grey vote. It tends to be the grey vote. It tends to people at a tends to be older people at a local level opposing from local level opposing things from being and im afraid you being built. And im afraid you get the country deserve get the country that you deserve and what we will have this and what we will have in this country, we have had for country, what we have had for a very long time is people who say, i like idea growth. Very long time is people who s like like idea growth. Very long time is people who s like the idea growth. Very long time is people who slike the idea idea growth. Very long time is people who slike the idea ofea growth. Very long time is people who slike the idea of houses. Wth. I like the idea of houses. I like idea of all of these like the idea of all of these things. Just want them things. I just dont want them near me. Just dont want near me. I just dont want anything do me. I dont anything to do with me. I dont want a new Water Reservoir near me because might, know, me because it might, you know, affect might affect affect my view. It might affect the of my and that the value of my house. And that ultimately damper on ultimately is the damper on growth. So its all very well if, if people if, if older people were actually for actually inclined to vote for lower then fine. But lower taxes, then fine. But thats going thats not going to fix. There are lot i mean, ive there are a lot i mean, ive got to say that are ive got to say that there are ive spoken a people spoken to a lot of people recently that recently who are pensioners that werent in the tax bracket. And over last year or two, over the last year or two, theyve fall theyve actually started to fall into tax bracket. So into the to the tax bracket. So i think they have noticed that. But but but lisa, do you not accept that high taxes are killing the economy at the moment . Weve got anaemic growth. Havent we . The economy needs a tiger in the tank. It needs a kick start. I think if theres a choice between a housing policy that delivers decent housing for everybody or small tax cuts, i think the country would go for the housing and thats where i, thats where i think one of the difficulties that we have with thatis difficulties that we have with that is though, whilst we have a policy that this government has of mass migration on the scale that we do, its actually not going to solve the problem because we will catching because we will only be catching up demand that were up to the demand that were already in. Up to the demand that were alresoy in. Up to the demand that were alreso we in. Up to the demand that were alreso we can in. Up to the demand that were alreso we can have the policy of so we can have the policy of building houses, which we do building new houses, which we do need to do. But if youre then just anybody from just saying to anybody from around that afford around the world that can afford to not even to live to buy a house, not even to live in, as a speculative in, potentially as a speculative asset, come and buy it, that doesnt the problem ehhen there you go. Lets have there you go. Lets have a look if i may. Look at this story, if i may. Rebecca in the sunday rebecca jane in the sunday times. Widely prescribed times. Why widely prescribed anti anxiety linked to anti anxiety drug linked to hundreds of deaths this is a powerful medication widely prescribed for anxiety behind the fastest rising death toll of any drug in the uk. This is according to an exclusive investigation by the sunday times. Doctors and coroners have raised concerns about, uh , i cry raised concerns about, uh, i cry goblin. Oh. Thank you. Well done for saying you help me out. Thats a bit fuzzy. Highly addictive. Uh, 8. 6 million prescriptions in england in 2022. Do you think that these anti anxiety drugs, antidepressant drugs, do more harm than good . Um, im not a fan of anti depressants. I do think that theyve got a place though. Obviously the lady we had on earlier, she really wound me up right now. This was uh, Beverly Beverly thompson. I was sat here absolutely livid. Um, because antidepressants do have a place, and youre talking to somebody who was addicted to them for 18 months. Id been on them for five years. It took me 18 months to off them. So i dont to come off them. So i dont recommend them for myself. However they absolutely have a place with people. Help at the did they help you at the beginning . Yeah. And i dont think hadnt think id be here if it hadnt been them because as much as been for them because as much as they, you know, antidepressant acts are there numb you and acts are there to numb you and not to feel any emotion or anything all. Anything at all. Thats not good thing, and thats not a good thing, because thats only going to help better for help you to get better for a very short space time. You very short space of time. You really need to kind of go through understand through it to understand why you are are. Are the way that you are. Theres of people who need theres a lot of people who need to that numbness to feel that numbness for a penod to feel that numbness for a period time, because they are to feel that numbness for a pe sod time, because they are to feel that numbness for a peso much me, because they are to feel that numbness for a peso much distress. Use they are to feel that numbness for a peso much distress. And hey are to feel that numbness for a peso much distress. And what re at so much distress. And what really concerned me was when she said that you know, what would you say to somebody who was struggling time . Oh struggling and give it time . Oh my goodness , i was so angry my goodness, i was so angry because i deal with so many people who are suicidal in my obviously Mental Health clinic. If you tell somebody whos at the absolute depths of despair, give it time. Um, and within give it time. Um, and within a year things will be better. Nobody wants to hear that when youre absolute crisis point. So dont give it time. Go straight to your gp. Go straight to your gp. I dont. Well and again, i dont really advocate for the nhs services. What would you say samaritans. What would you do. No no i actually think that the best thing you can do is to try and help yourself educate, research, education and all the rest of do think that rest of it. I do think that antidepressants have a place if you are at that of despair you are at that depth of despair , but i think there can be an absolute lifeline and we shouldnt it. But shouldnt be ashamed of it. But but above all else, i think the one thing that helped me was education and a different type of therapy. Of therapy. Benedict hear everything benedict i hear everything that rebecca say with that rebecca had to say with respect to and sympathy. However, you do wonder whether the nhs dole out these antidepressant medications , antidepressant medications, anti anxiety drugs like they are smarties. They do and the problem is that we treat medication as sort of a one size fits all thing, whereas actually every human being is different and will react in different ways to different psychoactive substances, which is what they are designed to affect your head and your nervous system and your and your nervous system and your and your nervous system and hormones and the and your hormones and the chemical balances your body. Chemical balances in your body. That necessarily going to that is not necessarily going to respond same way respond the same way for everybody. The are not everybody. The doses are not necessarily going for necessarily going to work for everybody. Them everybody. People are on them for long. It is very true for too long. It is very true that people can become very dependent them. Thing dependent on them. One thing that has not necessarily been addressed needs be addressed, but needs to be increasingly, is the capability of these things. If youre on them for too long to cause psycho this if you come off them too quickly. And that is something is not addressed. Something that is not addressed. But actually what really concerns we now, concerns me is that we are now, as were in a position as you say, were in a position now nhs doles now where the nhs just doles them because told them out because were told were health crisis. Were in a Mental Health crisis. Thats normal. Well, thats not normal. Well, actually, not normal at actually, this is not normal at all. Teenagers, all. Children and teenagers, this the level of Mental Ill Health in this country is not normal. We should be looking normal. And we should be looking to address causes of it. You to address the causes of it. You should be looking create should be looking to create healthy, healthy and healthy, mentally healthy and robust adults robust children and adults rather than waiting for them to hit a crisis point and go hit a crisis point and then go pills, pills. Pills, big pills. Fantastic. Think fantastic. Dont you think that the nhs or ors were doling out these pills because its actually cheaper than the alternative, which i dont think it is. I dont know, the pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical companies do. But building strong, resilient communities and people takes money, resources, and its easy to get great time. It does. But i think that thats such a problem with this country is the lack of long tum , country is the lack of long tum, um, planning, because that is more expensive in the long tum. And were seeing this right now with the economic crisis that were had addressed were hitting. Had we addressed some on, it some of this earlier on, it wouldnt us quite so wouldnt be costing us quite so much. Its the exact much. I think its the exact same thing this. I think it same thing with this. I think it might in the short might be cheap in the short terme to dole out pills, but actually, i think long terme, you an lot you could save an awful lot of people and therefore by extension a lot of working hours, of all sorts of hours, a lot of all sorts of things, a lot nhs resources things, a lot of nhs resources would its not simply would be saved. Its not simply the cost of the pill that were talking. I mean, listen, what the cost of the pill that were talkinga i mean, listen, what the cost of the pill that were talkinga i nof n, listen, what the cost of the pill that were talkinga i nof toughen, what the cost of the pill that were talkinga i nof tough love,|at the cost of the pill that were talkinga i nof tough love, lisa . About a bit of tough love, lisa . Are there people, young people have been people at school who have been told that if theyre just having a thats an a tough day, that thats an illness that actually illness and that actually younger people you mentioned sort robust, do we need sort of being robust, do we need to young people to be more to teach young people to be more resilient . Not forget that resilient . Lets not forget that in war, german in the second world war, german bombs were raining over liverpool , coventry, birmingham liverpool, coventry, birmingham and london. People didnt have pills to pop. They got on with it. Ive got a it. Ive got a lot it. Ive got a lot of it. Ive got a lot of sympathy though, with the Younger Generation because if theres one thing didnt have one thing that i didnt have growing social media growing up was social media constantly telling me that i was wrong or i was right or i was ugly, or that youre beautiful. Yeah and that sort of level of, you know, being bullied at school. Were school being school. You were at school being bullied. Now you can be sat at home it constantly coming home with it constantly coming through. Do have some through. So i do have some sympathy for young and sympathy for young people and their Mental Health. I think that the social media is not helping anybody. But dont you think be the way think education will be the way so is, is struggling so a youngster is, is struggling and actually the teacher and perhaps, i dont know, a faith leader or a family friend just sits down and just says, leader or a family friend just sits you down and just says, leader or a family friend just sits you know, and just says, leader or a family friend just sits you know, life just says, leader or a family friend just sits you know, life is st says, look, you know, life is difficult and youre going to have your way have to navigate your way through anymore, have to navigate your way through do anymore, have to navigate your way through do you anymore, have to navigate your way through do you . Anymore, though. Do you . No, not quite. No, no, not quite. No, no, not quite. And its not just about resilience. Yes. Our kids are resilience. Yes. Our kids are not as resilient as what they need be, but its about the need to be, but its about the need. Nobody teaches adults need. Nobody ever teaches adults , let alone children, how to understand and themselves why they are the way that they are, why they the beliefs that why they have the beliefs that they thats the thing that they are. Thats the thing that fixed me you know, god fixed me after, you know, god knows how years of mental knows how many years of mental illness. If we illness. And actually, if we start and teach kids start younger and teach kids that stuff and actually ask them what would help you with your Mental Health, we probably wouldnt have Mental Health wouldnt have the Mental Health crisis got. Crisis that weve got.
