Just be like, afuera. An arts council. You what an arts council. You have arts council fund. Have an arts council fund. Youre paying. Youre literally paying. Youre gonna get a huge number out the arts council. But this is the thing. Everybodys like, oh, but this is in scheme of things, is in the scheme of things, these diversity coordinators.

Why dont we get rid of the arts why dont we scrap arts council . Why dont we scrap instead lottery funding going instead of lottery funding going to pointless monuments and things . Why are we building a well, have. Why we well, you could have. Why are we building lottery . Building a monuments lottery . Suppose would be. That i suppose that would be. That would interesting. Do would be an interesting. I do want i know want to ask you, because i know this quite this has become quite a contentious issue in the american up. American election. Hotting up. This was of bidens biggest this was one of bidens biggest talking the of talking points in the state of the i think, the union, where they, i think, misquote trumps misquote or misrepresent trumps argument, if nato argument, which is that if nato countries willing to pay countries arent willing to pay their he encourage their way, he would encourage russia to and hes russia to invade. And now hes just it a bit of hyperbole. It was a bit of hyperbole. Biden quoted state of the biden quoted in the state of the union, if thats just what he union, as if thats just what he wants hes even said it wants to do. Hes even said it encouraged putin. Its disgusting. Its a joke. Disgusting. Its a trump joke. Its not a well its a its not a very well advised joke, but is in advised joke, but it is in bidens trump said it, bidens defence, trump said it, and dont think he it as and i dont think he said it as a joke. Ee ee spoken of his desire and hes spoken of his desire to to america to leave nato to pull america out nato leave europe. Out of nato and to leave europe. And i think its literally in his book, the art of the deal, this is you you look as this is what you do. You look as if want to walk away, and if you want to walk away, and that people meet you. That forces people to meet you. Youre about but when youre talking about global geopolitics, where something global geopolitics, where somethircomes from peoples strength comes from peoples belief in it, belief that it will countries will respond will all countries will respond if attacked, if if one country is attacked, if one the main country one of the if the main country in it says, oh, you know what, were actually not to were actually not going to do it. Attack this it. No, go ahead and attack this country mafia thing. Me. You t pay me. You gotta pay me. Otherwise i would just say yes. By otherwise i would just say yes. By means, their take by all means, take their take their produce and close their cafe down. We have just time quickly the i. Leo. Quickly to look at the i. Leo. Falls as so the budget falls flat as tories votes reform. Tories lose votes to reform. So apparently voters have been surveyed the budget surveyed and they say the budget wont back wont persuade them to back the tories. I tories. But at the moment, i dont even even if dont think even if, even if everybody got given, you know, piles solomons piles of diamonds from solomons mines, i dont think people would tory. You know, would vote tory. You know, theyre never going theyre just its never going to happen. Terminal tailspin. So the interesting thing is the pubuc the interesting thing is the public individual things public support individual things in the budget. So the fuel duty freeze , the cut to national freeze, the cut to National Insurance. But overall they say now this budgets rubbish even though i like the things in it. So im going to vote. Yeah. So im not going to vote. Yeah. Well a claim they well theres a claim they support single individual support every single individual measure but not the whole which would measure but not the whole which wotthere is some in that there is some logic in that which of course i want which you say, of course i want the insurance cut, but the National Insurance cut, but overall youve not done enough, although its although they do say that its just benefiting the rich. So its rational. But its not strictly rational. But voters rational, its not strictly rational. But voters is rational, its not strictly rational. But voters is the rational, its not strictly rational. But votersis the toriesional, its not strictly rational. But voters is the tories need its not strictly rational. But votersis the tories need a which is why the tories need a better is rishi better story. What is rishi story . Something about a pharmacy. Not white and pharmacy. And hes not white and hes all hes dying and its all diversity theres real diversity and theres no real story. Insufficient. Its insufficient. Even though non dom though they nick the non dom thing. That came up thing. One thing that came up i didnt yesterday i was didnt realise yesterday i was doing radio thing, but doing a radio four thing, but the, the child the, they raised the child benefit , threshold, £80,000 you benefit, threshold, £80,000 you can earn now still get some can earn now and still get some child benefit. Ive got a better suggestion. Much more conservative, much right conservative, much more right wing. Start getting child wing. You start getting child benefit at 80 k and it goes up. So only top earners are having kids. Thats the new elite. People are having children. Yeah yeahi people are having children. Yeah yeah i think you should stop paying yeah i think you should stop paying tax once you get to a certain rate because youre. They talk oh and here they talk about oh the budget helps rich the budget just just helps rich people. Rich people are really good with money. Invest good with money. Theyll invest it economy will boom. Create jobs. They spend we create jobs. They spend money. Absolutely like a video game. You get to a threshold where you just pay no tax. No more tax. Once reach like 80, once you reach like 80, youve months to spend youve got six months to spend it. Then you get taxed. Oh, it. And then you get taxed. Oh, i that would great. I see, that would be great. Thats we to do to get thats what we need to do to get things moving. Those the things moving. Those are the front done. Its the front pages done. Its the balford desecration up. Front pages done. Its the balhaveiesecration up. Front pages done. Its the balhave the ration up. Front pages done. Its the balhave the welfare up. Front pages done. Its the balhave the welfare welfare we have the welfare to welfare pipeline. Her pipeline. And may casts her final clout. Well see you in and welcome back to headliners. Im simon evans here on a friday evening. Still with leo kearse and nick dixon. Have to keep and nick dixon. Have to keep reminding myself, not tuesday. Lets continue with the stories. Lets continue with the stories. Leo, we kick off this section with the latest brain dead waste of oxygen to inspire murderous revenge fantasies in all sentient beings in the telegraph. So yes, a pro palestinian protester has damaged the portrait of lord balfour at the university of cambridge. Cambridge. So this is obviously, you know, a progressive feminist woman. So its great to see her standing up for the rapists in hamas. So in a video posted on hamas. So in a video posted on social media by Palestine Action, which is of these, action, which is one of these, groups seen, she spray groups shes seen, she spray paints it and then she slashes it a knife, which is, you it with a knife, which is, you know, normally we see just know, this normally we see just stop defacing paintings, but stop oil defacing paintings, but theyre behind perspex. This is theyre behind perspex. This is the canvas. The actual canvas. Gone for it this shes really gone for it this time. And interestingly so, lord balfour, was one of the chief balfour, he was one of the chief supporters a jewish supporters of creating a jewish homeland palestine. Which was homeland in palestine. Which was created 1917 balfour created by the 1917 Balfour Declaration. Also an declaration. He was also an advocate for palestinian rights and said that they shouldnt be they shouldnt have any rights taken away from them. They should, know, live in. Should, you know, live in. All there. Its yeah, its all in there. Its in declaration. Ive seen it in the declaration. Ive seen it many its an interesting many times. Its an interesting thing even the thing because even before the current flared it has current thing flared up, it has cropped up on many occasions. Balfour its Balfour Declaration, and its obviously of obviously a key part of the history of zionism. There was a suspicion, i think, at the time, i to get i hope im not going to get cancelled voicing this. Cancelled for voicing this. I think the suspicion was think part of the suspicion was that was granted in 1917, in that it was granted in 1917, in the of, encouraging jewish the hopes of, encouraging Jewish Americans to support the idea that america would join the first world war. So there was a sort of little bit of realpolitik going on. But as you say, nevertheless , the point is say, nevertheless, the point is that, he made it quite clear that, he made it quite clear that this was not some kind of license to, for a free for all of , of just a license to, for a free for all of, of just a smash and grab raid on on the pre existing palestinians. Yeah. Well, at least theres a logic to this one a touch more logic to this one than just attacking random than just attacking a random picasso. But its picasso. I mean, but its absolutely though, absolutely disgusting, though, because slashing because shes actually slashing the no the real painting. Theres no glass. A level of glass. Its a new level of depravity. You were suggesting revenge . I mean, i revenge fantasies . I mean, i think the Death Penalty would be a and would never a good idea and would never happen would it . A good idea and would never haplm would it . A good idea and would never haplm just would it . A good idea and would never haplm just saying,. D it . A good idea and would never haplm just saying, you . A good idea and would never haplm just saying, you know, im just saying, you know, you lock up, but that you could lock her up, but that doesnt solve the problem. Youve smash fingers youve got to smash the fingers at yeah, just at this point. Yeah, yeah, just satirical content, obviously, at this point. Yeah, yeah, just satirical buttent, obviously, at this point. Yeah, yeah, just satirical but its, obviously, at this point. Yeah, yeah, just satirical but its alsoiously, at this point. Yeah, yeah, just satirical but its also thought but but, but its also thought that she was another of that she was another one of these posh because she had these posh shows because she had a designer bag on that people reckoned grand new reckoned costs about a grand new £500 second hand. I mean, the regime so, look, i mean, the regime seems want this. Why dont seems to want this. Why dont they seem to want they stop it . They seem to want it. Its funny enough, the ordinary who wouldnt ordinary people who wouldnt have in the past are have had much in the past are the a sentimental the ones with a sentimental attachment to our history, whereas the current regime just dont country or dont care about our country or values, or values, our monuments or anything all. They anything at all. Oh, they just want homogenised. Want a global homogenised. Britain to be they just want britain to be a sort of banal economic trading zone. Yeah, with no ties to. Well, you a well, this is what you call a narco tyranny. Heard somebody and i heard somebody else describing earlier and its describing it earlier and its absolutely its absolutely correct. If its if the victims, perpetrators the victims, if the perpetrators of a crime are the currently protected people look the protected class, people look the other the, protected class, people look the ottheyre the, protected class, people look the ottheyre the the, protected class, people look the ottheyre the victims the, protected class, people look the ottheyre the victims of the, protected class, people look the ottheyre the victims of a the, if theyre the victims of a crime, then immediately before you know it, it sort of judge dredd. Yeah, i cant claim to have that terms coined in 2005, not mine. Do say it. But i do say it. But i do say it. Youre right. So just i want to get too technical, but do we happen to know what the establishment where the establishment is . Where the balfour painting was hanging . Is was it so the cambridge, is it im it university of cambridge . Im not think theyve got not sure. I think theyve got more one building her more than one building in her own, own college. Own, in her own trinity college. College. Right. Yeah. Trinity college. Right. Yeah. I it is weird how long i mean, it is weird how long they get to there and do they get to stand there and do these isnt it . Its these things, isnt it . Its like no sense that like theres no sense that theyre to quickly theyre trying to do it quickly before. Before theyre pounced on. Security guards its because security guards dont have guns in this country. We we that urgently. We need we need that urgently. Tend to agree with i would tend to agree with you, a great college. Ive you, its a great college. Ive had lunch you got newton had lunch there. You got newton and byron all hanging and bacon and byron all hanging on the yeah, i know this on the wall.

Daily mail. Its major november as old leopard feet is the next ahead for the door at the next election. Yeah, old leopard feet. Yeah, old leopard feet. One of the best songs by the beautiful south. But, theresa may joins tory exodus as pm becomes the 60th mp to announce they are quitting parliament. Oh yeah, there because its plural. More. I thought it was. I thought shed gone there for a second. More than any time since 1997, polls pointing 1997, with polls pointing to labour may 1997, with polls pointing to lab gone . May 1997, with polls pointing to lab gone . She may 1997, with polls pointing to lab gone . She was may 1997, with polls pointing to lab gone . She was a may 1997, with polls pointing to lab gone . She was a very ay has gone . Sure, she was a very nice person. Sure, she worked hard for her constituent as a pm. She was a disaster. She was part of the continuation of blairism very much taken up by cameron. The complete disintegration of tory party, the fake of the tory party, the fake conservative of the tory party, the fake conterriblee of the tory party, the fake conterrible choice after an terrible choice after an extremely weak on brexit. But you know, this is part of the the tories are fleeing the tory the tories are fleeing because they theyre going because they know theyre going to desperate. They to lose. Theyre desperate. They seem lose the seem desperate to lose the election. I suggested they on x. Theyre so desperate to lose it i might vote for them just out of thats thing of spikes. Thats the one thing they in. They dont want them in. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because desperate to because theyre desperate to lose. They also, by the way, lose. And they also, by the way, they keep going this they keep going on with this woke politics, you know, you woke id politics, you know, you know, 0h, know, sunak was saying, oh, shes the second female Prime Minister. For minister. Thatcher didnt go for in rubbish. Hated all in that rubbish. She hated all that sunak keeps that stuff. But sunak keeps pushing the time. Pushing that all the time. Do you that today . You see that post today . Conservatives are the for conservatives are the party for women. Im like over women. Im like all over a staircase photoshop. Yeah. Staircase or photoshop. Yeah. Whos party for . Men can whos the party for . Men can we vote for because like vote for that . Because its like we thought. We thought were the tories. Were sort tories. We were getting sort of classical where classical liberalism where its sort of colour blind. If sort of colour blind. But if youre going this identity youre going to do this identity politics, like, why should politics, its like, why should i if doing i vote for you . If youre doing identity politics . Doesnt he . About the most diverse as diverse cabinet in history, as if voting point, if thats a voting point, i dont i dont mind that it is. Its not really. Youre not going to vote for it because of that. Its not really sure. In the strength of diversity ehhen no. Exactly. So think weve no. Exactly. So i think weve made, to just made, to be fair to her, just specifically, turn as specifically, she did a turn as prime what, 17 . Prime minister from, what, 17 . No, 16. Wasnt it immediately after the referendum 16 after the referendum and 16 through mid 18, through to about mid 18, something johnson Something Like that. Johnson i mean she stuck around a bit is what im saying. Yeah. And i think she was obviously think under she was obviously just brexit and just shackled by brexit and i think under different circumstances she could have been a good Prime Minister. Shes very diligent and conscientious. Shes quite shes very diligent and conscioftious. Shes quite shes very diligent and consci of technocrat. Shes quite shes very diligent and consci of technocrat. Nots quite shes very diligent and consci of technocrat. Not that te a sort of technocrat. Not that usually like technocrats. Two, two geography. Right is that right . Yeah. From oxford, two, two in the valley as well. Yeah. No, i agree with you actually. I mean, she was a pretty good home secretary. I remember her, fronting up to the police, which is, takes a certain is, you know, takes a certain amount courage. Yeah. Anyway, amount of courage. Yeah. Anyway, farewell. Financial farewell. May, nick, financial times. That is certainly what were living in. When irelands women are forced out of their home by their own constitution. Yeah, this is, ireland votes on changing womens duties in constitution. So theyve got this 87 year old constitution, and theyre updating it because its not feminist enough. And i had a look at what they were updating. So ive got it here. Precisely. Theres this article 41. 2. 1. And the current text says in particular, the state recognises that by her life within the home woman gives the to the state a support without which the common good cannot achieved. Fair cannot be achieved. Seems fair enough. Theres second part. The state shall therefore endeavour ensure that mothers endeavour to ensure that mothers shall economic shall not be obliged by economic necessity , to engage in labour necessity, to engage in labour to neglect of their duties to the neglect of their duties in so saying that in the home. So its saying that a shouldnt to work a woman shouldnt have to work at of the home. It at the expense of the home. It seems reasonable me seems perfectly reasonable to me theyve this much theyve updated it to this much more state more woolly. The state recognises provision of recognises that the provision of care members to care by members of a family to one another, reason of the one another, by reason of the bonds that exist among them, gives a support gives the society a support without which the common good cannot be achieved, and shall strive such strive to support such provision. Cant provision. Im like, i cant even make nor tail of that. Even make head nor tail of that. So its taking away something that perfectly that looks to me perfectly logical women, logical and protecting women, allowing you know, allowing them a role, you know, to raise children. It . This is so what is it . This is a constitutional right. I mean, i didnt really understand that ireland a constitution, ireland has a constitution, and the all the most famous one that we all know is americas. You know, number i dont number two is fairly i dont know, you know, this is the sort of thing that constitutions describe. That there a describe. Is it that there is a presumption that womans presumption that a womans ability a mother presumption that a womans abilinot a mother presumption that a womans abilinot have a mother presumption that a womans abilinot have to a mother presumption that a womans abilinot have to eworkher presumption that a womans abilinot have to work isr and not have to go to work is protected aconstitutional level . Well, its more i think its more about state supporting more about the state supporting the its really its the mother. So its really its almost thing of almost a feminist thing of saying have access saying women should have access to really to benefits. The really contentious is , and is contentious thing is, and is this, is proposed recognition for families based on durable relationships instead of the standard sort of, you know, husband, wife, children. Theyre talking durable relationships, which would mean, you know, if somebody whos a flatmate could make a claim to an estate after after the death, they try and they try say that 40 of they try and, say that 40 of children are born out of wedlock. So they need to be included in the family. Theyre already like, you apply through the courts for guardianship or whatever the children. Whatever of the of the children. So a complete so thats a complete irrelevance, this whole thing. In i believe the irish in fact, i believe the Irish Government has breached the constitution by constitution as it is by campaigning for the for the yes vote in this referendum. The government is supposed to step back and not and not campaign on either side of a referendum i saw today. I dont know if its to do with this because it just caught my eye before i realised it was a story would come up about a story that would come up about varadkar arrested varadkar possibly being arrested for exactly for having, overstepped exactly that mark. And, campaigning on an which theyre an on an issue on which theyre supposed to remain neutral. I dont know, but i mean, its all its all very new to me. But i cant help thinking britain has the idea. No written the right idea. No written constitution, a constitution, you know, just a sort vague of doing the sort of vague sense of doing the right sort of vague sense of doing the rigiyeah, but that vague yeah, but then that vague sense the right thing sense of doing the right thing completely over and completely drifts over time. And now what the now now we dont know what the what right thing is. I mean, what the right thing is. I mean, youve youve people out youve got youve got people out in and mobs chanting in the street and mobs chanting anti semitic things and anti semitic horrible things and people a lot of people say its the right thing do. The right thing to do. Those british values. Those are british values. Now. Yes the programme now. Liam. Yes the programme times now. Leah weve never had a guest on this show actually expire from sheer excessive schadenfreude , but i suspect schadenfreude, but i suspect this might be the first. Yeah, its not a great day for humza yousaf as there has been just one donation to the snp a living person under snp from a living person under humza yousaf. So hes raided the piggy humza yousaf. So hes raided the piggy banks of dead people. But piggy banks of dead people. But yeah, parties. The snp have yeah, the parties. The snp have attracted just in attracted just 75,000 in contributions individuals contributions from individuals and since he took over and Companies Since he took over from Nicola Sturgeon about a yeah from Nicola Sturgeon about a year. Well, a year ago, a year ago now. Whereas just for comparison, alex salmond and Nicola Sturgeon received 8. 2 million and £4. 1 million in donations respectively. I know they were there for a bit longer. Yeah. But still, i mean, it shows orders of magnitude, two orders of magnitude there. Is that one donation of 75 so is that one donation of 75 grand then . No, no, its made up of a no, no, no, its made up of a number but yeah, number of donations. But yeah, one one one making a one one of the one making a living guy was £5,000. It basically. Thats it basically. Thats it basically. And the rest are companies. Is that the point . The rest are bequest from no, the rest are bequest from from people who are dead. Oh in that 70,000. But then, bizarrely, not bizarrely, they were not bizarrely, they were not bizarrely annoyed they bizarrely but annoyed me. They got million this got 1. 1 million during this penod got 1. 1 million during this period westminster period from westminster and from the why the electoral commission. Why are we why they getting westminster . Well, thats classic westminster, isnt it . Supporting it. Well, i think i think all political parties, once you reach a certain threshold, you get of money. Get a certain amount of money. Oh, like the premier league. Once you get Champions League yeah. Yeah. Wow. But exactly like wow. But its exactly like that. Made it to the end that. We have made it to the end of section two. In part three we have latest horrors from have the latest horrors from w path. Shadow boxing, path. We have shadow boxing, Gillian Keegan and a moment of cnnge Gillian Keegan and a moment of cringe in welcome back to headliners. A latest on the w path scandal. Now, nick, in the daily mail and the maggots keep wriggling out of this one. Yeah, this is shocking how influential trans Health Doctors and have secretly and activists have secretly shaped nhs policies for more than so as you say, than a decade. So as you say, this w path, which the great this is w path, which the great andrew doyle is doing an entire show on sunday and its show on on sunday and its a topic the bbc doesnt seem to want to explore. But luckily gb news theres two things news is. And theres two things really. Disgusting really. One is how disgusting was w path their guidance, was w path and their guidance, and much influence did and two how much influence did they the on they have over the nhs. So on they have over the nhs. So on the first question, they had an entire on eunuchs and entire chapter on eunuchs and said they castrate said that they should castrate or castrating anyone or consider castrating anyone that identified as such. Can you imagine and look imagine that . And then you look into it. Theres recording of into it. Theres a recording of a about whether a discussion about whether minors can really consent to this stuff, and a hormone specialist at one point says, look, these are people who havent even had a biology class in high school yet, he says. I can talk to them about fertility preservation, but im essentially a blank essentially talking to a blank wall. Says this. He wall. But then he says this. He says, but still, the says, but still, we want the kids to happy the moment, kids to be happy in the moment, right . Like, what . Sort right . Its like, what . The sort of of that. Of rousseauian insanity of that. Thats at the heart thats the sickness at the heart of society. Like, know of our society. Like, we know this is terrible. Will this is terrible. This will destroy terme, but destroy children long terme, but hey, we want them to have a subjective feeling of happiness now. Irresponsible now. Absolutely irresponsible and loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stuff loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stuff this. Loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stuff this. Theres loads now. Absolutely irresponsible anstupeople his. Theres loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stu people who theres loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stupeople who haves loads now. Absolutely irresponsible an stu people who have thingsis other people who have things like post Traumatic Stress disorder schizoid typical like post Traumatic Stress disord but schizoid typical like post Traumatic Stress disord but sciazoid typical like post Traumatic Stress disord but sciazoid tyrisal traits. But then a doctor is saying but they saying to them, yeah, but they can hormones. Its can still have hormones. Its like, they are in like, can they are they in a position be to consent position to be able to consent to absolutely not. So to that . Absolutely not. So i would say not. So this. And so it turned that theyve this it turned out that theyve this has very influential on has been very influential on the nhs and in their guidance. Now they the nhs it has they claim the nhs that it has had no impact. It says, you know, while were aware of double we are clear double standards, we are clear that these are not determined nhs ongoing nhs policy. So the ongoing question much did it question is like how much did it impact nhs . Impact the nhs . A like stonewall definitely a like stonewall at or whatever. Isnt it at the bbc or whatever. Isnt it the amount power these the amount of soft power these people yeah, very decisive. And certainly with the tavistock hugely tavistock it was hugely influential. These leaks influential. And in these leaks they much admit to, they also pretty much admit to, to being experimental to this being experimental treatments. Know treatments. Whereas you know the, the, the official line is like no, were science and evidence based as if its all cut and dried and we know what were they dont all were doing. They dont at all is horrifying. This is going to be big medical scandal be the next big medical scandal after thalidomide all after thalidomide and all the rest infected blood rest of it. The infected blood inquiry. You know, weve weve sort the ability to sort of lost the ability to critically question and apply common sense to this. Obviously, giving puberty blockers, hormones, drugs and surgical maiming to children and adolescents is thats something that should be done in a very, you know, very extreme situation. I mean, almost makes me feel nostalgic for the days when we were giving antidepressants to kids. You know, at least you would just thinking, well, they might get addicted and might would just thinking, well, they miidifficultiddicted and might would just thinking, well, they miidifficultiddicteithem might would just thinking, well, they miidifficultiddicteithem off. |ight be difficult to get them off. But, mean, at least there was but, i mean, at least there was an strategy. An exit strategy. Makes electroshock therapy it makes electroshock therapy look chill, doesnt mean, look chill, doesnt it . I mean, this going this is this is going to be looked on just a crazy looked back on as just a crazy time. They taken over by time. They were taken over by this and they sick this ideology and they did sick things these people things and some of these people should treated like war should be treated like war criminals, my opinion. We criminals, in my opinion. We should later say, should look at it later and say, what were you thinking . Letting this you know, letting this happen, is almost just happen, i mean, is almost just ridiculously evocative of mengele, know, mengele, wasnt it . You know, its sort of its exactly the sort of thing that them. The that he would do to them. The eunuch thing as well. I mean, this adults this is presumably adults as well youre talking about, but even adults, i mean, even that with adults, i mean, i dont know, i dont feel comfortable somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo ables somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at any somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at any age somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at any age to somebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at any age to say,ebody dont know, i dont feel comfo able at any age to say, ibody being able at any age to say, i identify as if somebody wanted to remove their arm. Theyd be sent for psychiatric evaluation and treatment and therapy. Yeah. You wouldnt be like, well, you identify as a one armed person. Lets whip your arm off. Exactly. Extraordinary telegraph. Leo, the latest telegraph. Now, leo, the latest episode in Gillian Keegans. Ooh, your Hard Campaign of talking tough and doing nowt so Gillian Keegan said i would have punched rude school inspectors. Punched rude school inspectors. This is the education secretary. She was at a conference of headteachers on friday, at and said shed spoken to teachers at a school in chichester after it had been inspected. This is in her, in inspected. This is in her, in her constituency. And the her constituency. And the teachers told her how their ofsted experience had gone and she was shocked. She said i was actually shocked. I thought, god , if i had met these people i would have probably punched them. They were really i them. They were really rude. I dont this, seems to dont know this, this seems to me show, a remarkable lack of me to show, a remarkable lack of Critical Thinking for Gillian Keegan. So shes only hearing one side of the story. She isnt going to the ofsted inspectors. Shes obviously nobody likes being. No, you know being inspected. No, you know what obviously what i mean. And obviously theyre stuff like, theyre going to say stuff like, oh, to improve some oh, you need to improve some things. And people are things. And then the people are going to be, oh, dont like that. Shes, shes just heard that. So shes, shes just heard one and this one side of the story. And this side physical violence is side of physical violence is appropriate. You appropriate. Yeah, she, you know, people know know, also these people know know, also these people know know theyre dont know what theyre doing, dont question also, question their methods. Also, youre part of the government. You send out these state apparatchiks your apparatchiks to force all your stupid cant stupid rules because we cant live Libertarian Society live in a Libertarian Society for reason. So dont for some reason. So dont be surprised when youre horrible, when you state apparatchiks when you give state apparatchiks too and then they too much power and then they use that act powerful. That power. They act powerful. Most sort of tired that power. They act powerful. Plot most sort of tired that power. They act powerful. Plot from 3st sort of tired that power. They act powerful. Plot from every� t of tired that power. They act powerful. Plot from every hollywood old plot from every hollywood movie, the arrive movie, isnt it . The fbi arrive at the local crime scene and theres sort of tussle for theres a sort of tussle for authority. Know, thats authority. You know, thats exactly. We know whats exactly. We all know whats going my patch. I going on. This is my patch. I know this school works, you know how this school works, you know. See whats know. Well, we can see whats going but youre going wrong, but youre absolutely right. They have literally only literally she has literally only heard and heard one side of it. And i mean, maybe im being humourless about do you remember about it, but do you remember when swearing on when she was started swearing on tv as on that occasion tv as well on that occasion about, would be nice to get about, it would be nice to get a bit of effing credit or something on one occasion. She just of, dont just seems to sort of, i dont know, relish bar room, sort of, i dont know, like a sort of swagger, as if she thinks it gives her some, like shes character or flavour or something. I find it something. Ijust, i find it really off putting. Although any sign of life from tories almost from the tories is almost welcome. Is welcome. Youre right, it is a bit, it is a bit labour. But yeah, i dont know. Bit prescott yeah, its a bit prescott isnt oh well not big isnt it. Oh well not a big story. Over to independent story. Over to the independent and partridge esque and almost partridge esque moment puppet and songbird moment from puppet and songbird Sophie Ellis Bextor at the bataclan. Yeah so Sophie Ellis Bextor addresses bataclan deaths before singing murder on the dancefloor at paris venue. So of course, the song people may not know. Written almost entirely greg written almost entirely by greg alexander, alexander, the underrated, underrated genius from new new radicals. People dont realise that. No,. No. Yeah, a music nerd. So yeah, but the story here is that said before, so 130 is that she said before, so 130 people were murdered and a further 500 injured by isis unked further 500 injured by isis linked militants in november 2015. So thats the context. And she says before doing the song, she says before doing the song, she said it didnt feel right to just waltz into a song called murder on the dance floor without and paying without noting and paying tribute all tribute to the history. All i want is that murder on want to say is that murder on the dance is a song the dance floor is not a song with evil in its heart. The with any evil in its heart. The whole intention of that song, like bring like this venue, is to bring joy and onto the dance floor. And music onto the dance floor. So you dont know. So its a bit you dont know. Of course, the tragedy is horrific, but theres a of a, as you but theres a bit of a, as you say, a partridge he say, a partridge moment. He couldnt she doesnt have couldnt not she doesnt have that lets be honest. He has play it. Isnt it. She cant not play it. She cant so she is in cant play it. So she is in a classic. Yeah no, no, no stain on her character i think. But yeah. Oh god. Seems difficult. Ive god. She seems difficult. Ive been on a radio show her been on a radio show with her once. Absolutely lovely. Once. Shes absolutely lovely. I think. Yeah. And i do like that song its my sort of song and its not my sort of genre, yeah , yeah, i think genre, but yeah, yeah, i think she handled relatively genre, but yeah, yeah, i think she hconsidering relatively genre, but yeah, yeah, i think she hconsidering rethinkly well, considering i think who handled it badly the handled it badly is the authorities. Something like every time Something Like this oh this happens, theyre like, oh no, anger. No, dont look back in anger. Oh, religion peace. Oh, its the religion of peace. Oh, its the religion of peace. Oh, asks any questions or oh, nobody asks any questions or youre racist. Its like, youre racist. And its like, thats the really thats the thats the really offensive bit. Quite agree. Okay when yes, i quite agree. Okay when we do it news. Now leo and the guardian are asking the important about race important questions about race and. And abusing coppers. So the guardian says oversimplifying a serious matter or a fair cop where sam kerrs alleged words really racist. This is about the australian, i believe the womens Football Team captain, sam kerr, whos been charged with racially aggravated harassment and has pleaded not guilty after , she pleaded not guilty after, she allegedly used the phrase stupid white and then a word that sounds like bar steward. So politicians in australia have been arguing over whether its racist, whether its not racist. The guardian is here to pull out professor fathi mansouri, whos an expert in intercultural communication in a fuera afuera. He can go no or she or they, whatever it is, theres a couple of rounds. Yeah, yeah, for someones machine gun. Machine gun. Yeah, so they explain how racism in many ways reflects the nofion racism in many ways reflects the notion that one group is categorised on a hierarchy as being better than the other group. So pulling out this argument that, that white people are over, over are on a hierarchy over, over black people only racism when it works with the grain of power in society. The thing thats wrong society. The thing thats wrong with that is under diversity, eqtu with that is under diversity, equity inclusion. Minority equity and inclusion. Minority or as theyre or global majorities, as theyre called elevated over called now, are elevated over us. And also they say that, you know, it cant racist because know, it cant be racist because londons this talking about londons this talking about londons majority or its racist towards londons majority white group. London doesnt have the White British is a minority and also so i think sorry she is like the captain of a of an international Football Team and hes just a copper. I think her status is quite a bit higher then. Yeah, yeah, he gets around. He says to the majority white group in that society, of course he or britain. But he means england or britain. But as say, london 37, as you say, london being 37, just 37 White British, just under 37 White British, its white minority its been white minority since about course we are about 2011. So of course we are so globally as well. You so and globally as well. If you want to say are of course want to say we are of course white people are a tiny minority. Oh no, minority. So its like, oh no, i mean country. Its mean the country. So its absolutely ludicrous. What i tend when i look at tend to think when i look at this is didnt want this world this is i didnt want this world like i want. I dont care, you know, chris rock said, if know, like chris rock said, if someone off traffic someone cuts you off in traffic and one arm, im going and they have one arm, im going to i dont to talk about the arm, i dont care. You wanted this care. Yeah, but you wanted this world obsessed world of everyones obsessed with you have to apply with race, so you have to apply the course, it is the rules. And of course, it is racist and shes getting easy racist and shes getting an easy ride. No, its ride. Im saying, oh, no, its completely white completely because its white people. Why . Why is it so different . Guy, different . And then this guy, this mansouri again, this professor mansouri again, like we look the like we need to look at the history okay. Well history of slavery. Okay. Well then slave comes from then the word slave comes from slave, which was white people. Wasnt yeah, it certainly wasnt maoris, think what maoris, which is, i think what she or something. Right. She is or something. Right. Shes like an indigenous or i dont shes aboriginal. Dont think shes aboriginal. I dont think shes aboriginal. I dont sam dont know, shes indian. Sam kerr, shes not if shes australian is she, is she indian . I think think i think indian . I mentionedik i think indian . I mentioned india, i think indian . I mentioned india, butthink they mentioned india, but ive got idea. Im probably got no idea. Im probably probably a simple minds. The thing is, theyre just desperate. Tripping desperate. They just tripping themselves this. Not to themselves over this. Not to apply white people, but it apply to white people, but it has to people has to apply to white people because to because and our instinct is to say it . Say no, isnt it . I mean, is. Mine is to i mean, mine is. Mine is to 90, i mean, mine is. Mine is to go, it used nothing but go, well, it used nothing but but now you well. No. Im sorry. You dont want to play the victim. Occasionally we just victim. And occasionally we just have the game. If these have to play the game. If these are rules, were going are the rules, well, were going to the game. To play the game. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Telegraph forever. Telegraph in jail forever. Telegraph in jail forever. I feel torn well, i confess i feel torn about this about this one. This is obviously a ccp sci up, but also about this one. This is oipretty. Y a ccp sci up, but also about this one. This is oipretty decent sci up, but also about this one. This is oipretty decent sci to, but also about this one. This is oipretty decent sci to share|lso a pretty decent way to share content comedy tickets. Content and flog comedy tickets. So to tick so really, you want to tick tiktok now the kids. Tiktok now with the kids. Tick tock urges millions so tick tock urges millions of users to up against us of users to speak up against us bans. You say, i mean, bans. So as you say, i mean, tiktok but its tiktok was a sign up, but its graduated outright propaganda graduated to outright propaganda and on and its getting everyone on there say, speak up now there to say, speak up now before your government strips 170 of 170 americans of their constitutional rights. So yeah, i its the problem i mean, its but the problem is that compelled to that you could be compelled to hand under chinese hand over data under Chinese Security law. This long been security law. This is long been a thing. Chinese are going a thing. The chinese are going to your but then to get your data and but then mind you, bidens there. You know, a load of know, appealing to a load of tiktok know, appealing to a load of tiiall. But a problem. At all. But it is a problem. Do you think the main problem is data, or do you think the main is cultural . Main problem is the cultural . You the of you know, like the rotting of the the of the mind, the sharing of pornography or pornography . Pornography or not pornography . Exactly. You know, exactly. But kind of, you know, worse pornography, just worse than pornography, just sort of degrading. Worse than its much worse than pornography you can pornography because you can watch without, watch pornography without, turning queer turning into a gender queer communist. This tiktok just communist. Yeah this tiktok just propagates all this, all this stuff thats really degeneracy. And really. Oh, yeah. Wasnt that a revisionist thing bin laden a while thing about bin laden a while ago . Bin laden a great ago . Like, bin laden was a great guy. Like going viral. Guy. Was like going viral. Also, you know, the and also, you know, the medium message. Know, medium is the message. You know, just youre just just the fact that youre just constantly just the fact that youre just constarand nothing is sticking thumb and nothing is sticking and your mind is just losing its capacity chew. Capacity to chew. Im just worried that this sets precedent that they can sets a precedent that they can then come other then cover. Come for other social platforms i social media platforms that i use. So telegram, which use. So i use telegram, which gets a lot of a lot of politicians say this to be politicians say this needs to be banned because a its an banned because its a its an absolute pit of the absolute bear pit of the horrible stuff, its horrible stuff, humanity. Its fantastic. Yeah fantastic. I love it. Yeah well, i mean, gb news is, at least as much a social media phenomenon as it is a tv. Hopefully people are watching us at home on tv, but also our reach depends a lot on people sharing on twitter and so on. I thought you were going to say gb news is the telegram of news channels. We not pit. Were we are not a bear pit. Were more like a snakey. Anyway, join us final section after us in the final section after the break, we discuss geminis germination, the sneaky french hiding in our glorious tongue, and the latest tantalising disappointment in human cloning. Well see you in a couple of minutes and welcome back to headliners for the final section. Before we go any further, i would like to give a shout out to colin, who was very helpful to me at the Tottenham Court road tube station earlier this evening and congratulated the show. Congratulated us on the show. Nice see you again nice one colin, see you again i hope. Gemini farrago. Aftermath. Hope. Gemini farrago. Aftermath. Now leo, the guardian is in no doubt which were its most offensive images. I see this was interesting. Interesting. Yes. So this is about the gemini google ai tool that made offensive historical images. And sergey brin, whos one of the co founders of google, has come out and said, we definitely messed up. And this comes after googles chief executive Sundar Pichai said, i dont know if ive pronounced that right, says that the responses produced by gemini were completely unacceptable. I thought they were it included were hilarious. So it included popes Founding Fathers of the us and german second world war. Soldiers were presented as people of colour. Because google ai is so desperate to inject diversity into the images that it shows, you know, it goes even further than a Television Ad break and just everything, everything that can possibly, possibly be, i did think, though, it was interesting that the guardian definitely find it most offensive that nazis were portrayed potentially portrayed as being potentially east asian women. Not that like the people who achieved extraordinary things of northern europeans. Yes. You know, the good ones. Yes. Yeah. That was that was the only part of the New York Times like, how dare you have a black stormtrooper . Stormtrooper . Yeah. Yeah. Its amazing. Is it . I mean, you wonder why it happened. Was it some sort of publicity it some sort of weird publicity stunt . Woke regime stunt . Was it just woke regime overreach . It because the overreach . Was it because the product lead hated white people and anti white and posted all those anti white posts . Is it just because its drawing which drawing from the internet, which itself is woke . Thing, it was definitely programmed. Even, sergei brin has even even, sergei brin has popped up even even, sergei brin has popped up and said, you know, yeah, we definitely messed up and they their parent and they did lose. Their parent company, alphabet inc lost 70 billion. People saying billion. Some people even saying 90 its share price. 90 billion off its share price. So actually finally made 90 billion off its share price. S this and i gave it some thought. And is that, i and what worries me is that, i mean, this is literally mean, clearly this is literally orwellian. Is orwellian. I mean, this is exactly what he describes in 1984, the in 1984, rewriting the past in order control the present and order to control the present and into the future. But at the moment theyre doing it. So so candidly nobody is candidly that nobody is persuaded just persuaded and everyone just laughs. Persuaded and everyone just laughs. But we already saw in laughs. But we already saw in the year how quickly it the last year how quickly it progresses from al video. You know, the thing with will smith eating spaghetti, that was ridiculous. The fort going through mouth. How good that through his mouth. How good that now thats now is in a year thats indistinguishable from genuine footage. And thats what will happen this. The next happen with this. The next generation of propaganda, or the one after that, and ive met will so clever, he will be so clever, so subtle. He does so finely judged does eat a lot, so finely judged. Yeah. Theyll just theyll just get better hiding the bias. Yeah. Better at hiding the bias. Yeah. Theyre be the theyre still going to be the invisible. Hands on the invisible. The hands on the scales background. Scales in the background. What we need some of we really need is some sort of digital constitution makes digital constitution that makes all this data and all the algorithms and all that sort of stuff open. Is musk stuff open. This is what musk was about before he was talking about before he bought twitter. Absolutely. Agree we yeah, absolutely. Agree we should the should take this seriously. The telegraph story telegraph now, nick, a story about eating about the cheese eating surrender making surrender monkeys making another desperate their long desperate lunge at their long since lingua franca. Since vanished lingua franca. Hard to top that. Nice. Very hard to top that. But everything you said there, though, simon was influenced by french. Yes so they claim his engushis french. Yes so they claim his english is not a language. Its just badly spoken french. So this is this shocking nonsense from a guy called bernard. Something like an italian name. Something like an italian name. Hes a linguist, but his name is impossible to say. Its cerquiglini anyway. And he says cerquiglini anyway. And he says that english is, english is emits. The that english is, english is emits. The english is the dominant language. But he says that all the colour comes from french. The, provided french. The, its provided the abstract the lexicon abstract vocabulary, the lexicon of and administration, of commerce and administration, its legal and political terms, blah de blah de blah. And he admits this is arrogant and admits that this is arrogant and french him say hes hes french of him to say hes hes got point there about got a point there about commercial legalistic terms. Commercial and legalistic terms. Are roman in they often are roman in origin, is what he means origin, which is what he means by mean that. But by french i mean via that. But the likes them anyway. Yeah, the he likes them anyway. Yeah, exactly. The worst exactly. Theyre the worst words. Ones words. Theyre the ones that sort of just bore, arent they . Theyre ones that give theyre not the ones that give colour. Ones that theyre not the ones that give coliend ones that theyre not the ones that give coliend in ones that theyre not the ones that give coliend in ation ones that theyre not the ones that give coliend in ation that nes that theyre not the ones that give coliend in ation that badthat all end in ation that bad rappers use communication from the words are the the nato. The good words are the saxon if you want to a saxon words. If you want to be a good, sorry, good good, critical, sorry, a good creative to creative writer, you have to master the saxon vocabulary. Yeah. And hes just yeah. And also hes just saying because theyre saying this because theyre trying to, theyve got the Academie Francais theyre Academie Francais where theyre trying to get, french people to use words instead of use french words instead of engush use french words instead of english words. So people in france pipeline. Theyre france use pipeline. Theyre trying them to use trying to get them to use garford and theyre people garford beck, and theyre people in france who say it, girl, as they want to say econ de la mode. And theyre losing this battle. Theyre just battle. So now theyre just turning around be like, turning around and be like, well, phrase is well, actually the phrase is these french phrases these are french phrases originally, just trying originally, so its just trying to save face. Think it is i mean, i think it is a provocateur , isnt he . Hes provocateur, isnt he . Hes probably its a probably slightly in which slightly tongue in cheek, which is, a french word. Thats what i know. Yeah thats what i know. Yeah extreme copium this is extreme copium drinking tears. I do drinking french tears. I do think that the beauty of the engush think that the beauty of the english language, i mean, obviously we all know the engush obviously we all know the english language is the greatest language world for language in the world for creative are creative purposes. There are all those the man those old jokes about the man who is it . German to who speaks what is it . German to his horse and english to his butler to his butler and french to his mistress.
