Lets get straight into todays stories and shall we . Now michael gove says hes told pro Palestine Protesters they risk rubbing shoulders with extremists. The levelling up secretary pledged to expose groups trying to subvert democracy , and warned that some democracy, and warned that some pro palestine events have been organised by extremist organisations. Now we all know there was a march in london yesterday. There were only five yesterday. There were only five arrests, so remarkably peaceful considering how many people were there. But we did once again hear those chants, didnt we . Not as many as we have in the past, but from the river to the sea. Shall so sea. Palestine shall be free. So weve which weve heard those chants which could we could be deemed offensive. We saw people wearing masks, which theyre anymore. Theyre not meant to do anymore. So, is michael gove right to say we need to tackle this extremism and introduce new regulations , and introduce new regulations, ones that define what extremism is , and also add some new groups is, and also add some new groups to that list . Benjamin, im to that list . Benjamin, im coming to you first on this one. I think hes absolutely right to say that there have been extremists on these marches. You know, if i went on a march and someone from the bnp was next to me in that, would i go back next saturday . Probably not. Id feel very uncomfortable they were very uncomfortable if they were re invited. And so i think re invited. And so i think thats comparison what thats a good comparison to what weve marches. I weve seen in these marches. I have that the vast. Have no doubt that the vast. You keep going back if would you keep going back if you knew wouldnt go in the you knew i wouldnt go in the first yeah. So im so first place . Yeah. Im so im so discombobulated by upsetting my mum. Hello, mum. I mum. By the way. Hello, mum. I still love you, i havent even introduced my panel. Benjamin butterworth, obviously. And butterworth, obviously. And david curtain. So thank you so much for joining david curtain. So thank you so much forjoining me. David curtain. So thank you so much forjoining me. Theyre much forjoining me. Theyre also being naughty and irritating. Any respective mums in their families because theyre obviously with me this afternoon. Any case, lets get back to michael gove. Love you mum. Mum. Hopefully not. New laws for tv presenters and just extremists. Well, i mean, its like im just going to sit here and hold my mums picture up now because not lunch because im not having lunch with her. Get back to michael with her. Gone get back to michael gove. Gone so think hes absolutely so i think hes absolutely right say that has right to say that there has been a problem with extremists at these we have these marches. You know, we have seen people that quite clearly celebrate hamas, a proscribed terrorist group in this country, that murdered jews and wishes to continuously do so until the state of israel doesnt exist. And so i think that is a fair point. But and so i think that is a fair point. But in and so i think that is a fair point. But in the and so i think that is a fair point. But in the real world, i think it is far more complex to implement, say, a ban on these protests or cracking down on those extremists who obviously shouldnt be allowed to be there because, for example, if you said as much of the Jewish Community feels should be the way should not have way that you should not have these its these protests because its making unsafe and making people feel unsafe and unwelcome, which it definitely is, would that actually is, then would that actually stop these protests happening . I think you would just have more riotous protests, more legal problems, police issues. Problems, more police issues. And i think thats the fine line that michael gove has to tread on issue. On this issue. So is a very fine line, so it is a very fine line, david, it . Because on one david, isnt it . Because on one hand, are very aware hand, yes, we are very aware of who the proper extremist organisations, but is there a free speech issue here . Doesnt it depend on what your definition of extremism is . Because for on one hand, the Muslim Council of Great Britain could be included in this group of extremist organisations . Of extremist organisations . Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, you can ask ten different people, what does extremism mean . Get ten different you get ten different answers. Me, think answers. I mean, to me, i think the whole concept of extremism is meaningless the whole concept of extremism is justzaningless the whole concept of extremism is just usedjless the whole concept of extremism is just used as;s the whole concept of extremism is just used as a because its just used as a weapon to cancel the free speech of people that you dont agree with. Or people say, oh, i find that offensive, even though its completely legal, and then they get labelled as extremists and then someone comes then they say someone comes along and along like michael gove and says, these protests says, oh, well, these protests should be banned because or these shouldnt these protests, people shouldnt go to these protests because some theyre some people think theyre extremist. , ive been extremist. I mean, ive been called extremist in the for called extremist in the past for certain , which and im certain things, which and im not, you know, but but im not because its a completely meaningless you need meaningless terme. And you need to bar of what is to have the bar of what is legal. So if someone is actually causing harassment or harassing someone, theyre abusing someone or. Theyre someone, theyre abusing someone or. Theyre causing criminal damage, well, those are real objective crimes, but theyre already criminal offences. Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. Exactly. Whereas extremism is subjective. So we need do we need so do we need do we need a new definition. And this also includes right. I new definition. And this also includes right. I mean, includes the far right. I mean, you know you mentioned the bnp earlier everyones earlier on by everyones definition. They are an example of the far right. But i mean, you know, for example, Tommy Robinson, he far right, for robinson, is he far right, for example, you know, some of the things , some of the things, some of the conservative, peer , politicians conservative, peer, politicians on the right have said could have them proscribed as far right. I think intent matters in this because, you know, youre allowed to hold whatever conclusions youve come to politically. But if you are, for example, as Tommy Robinson has done going outside a mosque or an muslims congregate an area where muslims congregate and defacing the quran, well, then that is trying to inflame tensions. That is not constructive. Arguably, its constructive. Arguably, its taking away some other peoples free speech because they feel threatened. And in the case of threatened. And in the case of these protests, the people that have gone there and have celebrated like those two celebrated hamas, like those two women who had the paragliding images on their backs that were convicted, werent really punished. Really . Really . Really . No. But at least they got to them. And i think we have a big problem that i would say is not necessarily about what parliament has decided and what michael its about michael gove says. Its about the police feeling empowered and resource and supported to actually take on the people who are already breaking existing laws on these marches with hate speech, with celebrating proscribed terrorist organisations. Quite frankly, i think its a bit rich to talk about changing the law when were not even implementing the laws that exist there. That mean, i dont is that and i mean, i dont know how you feel about this, david, it interesting. David, but it was interesting. There arrested and there was a chap arrested and then yesterday for then de arrested yesterday for holding stating a fact holding up a sign stating a fact in this country is a fact. Hamas are a terrorist organisation. And he was arrested then de arrested has to be said for and we happen to be standing there holding this sign. Theres some debate about what it was actually and actually arrested and de arrested , but he was arrested for, but he was actually to task by the actually taken to task by the police where Others Holding from the river to the sea signs werent. Yeah. I mean, i understand that he held up a sign saying hamas a terrorist or Something Like that, which, you know, is a perfectly valid view. And the british takes that British Government takes that view and other people dont. But, you know, then you might say, well, from the river to the sea. Yeah. I mean, i deplore what they did on 7th of october, they did on the 7th of october, but also deplore what israel but i also deplore what israel are in response that, are doing in response to that, the punishment the collective punishment of palestinians gaza has the collective punishment of pal what this. Government and also the labour opposition wants, they are not willing to call for a ceasefire and neither should they. Well, they should absolutely. There absolutely. Because there is collective punishment of palestinian collective punishment israel palestinian collective pun cut1ent israel palestinian collective pun cut offt israel palestinian collective pun cut off their israel palestinian collective pun cut off their electricity. ael has cut off their electricity. Theyve their water theyve cut off their water supply. And the 99 of people that have been killed by the idf since the 7th of october are not hamas. Theyre innocent people. Hamas. Theyre innocent people. And there is collective punishment. And its absolutely wrong. I dont accept the figures of 30,000. Theres been 30,000. Clearly, theres been an appalling 30,000. Clearly, theres been an adont ng 30,000. Clearly, theres been an a dont take a 30,000. Clearly, theres been an adont take a terrorist i dont take a terrorist organisation figures organisation providing figures when isis or al qaeda give you figures, report those figures, we dont report those without questioning them, and neither should we. Hamas in neither should we. For hamas in gaza. Neither should we. For hamas in gaza. And they talk about, as gaza. And they talk about, as they have for so long, first of all, the narrative was that gaza was a prison because all, the narrative was that gaza wwas a prison because all, the narrative was that gaza wwas , a prison because all, the narrative was that gaza wwas , having prison because all, the narrative was that gaza wwas , having its son because all, the narrative was that gaza wwas , having its access ause all, the narrative was that gaza wwas , having its access cut. E it was, having its access cut off by israel before october seventh. And now they say it was the wonderful place the most wonderful place on earth. Came and earth. And israel came in and ruined say, oh, we ruined it. They say, oh, we dont ruined it. They say, oh, we dont enough ruined it. They say, oh, we dont enough money for dont have enough money for medicine or water. Medicine or for food or water. And never run out and yet they never run out of money missiles and for money for missiles and for tunnels to attack their neighbour. Is not collective neighbour. It is not collective punishment. What israel is doing neighbour. It is not collective pldefending what israel is doing neighbour. It is not collective pldefending itself israel is doing neighbour. It is not collective pldefending itself against; doing neighbour. It is not collective pldefending itself against itsing is defending itself against its neighbours, which are terrorists and which are anti semites, with huge amounts of funding from iran. Not quite frankly, david. Many of those who have, unless you condemn what we did in germany in the second world war, then i think it is a bit wrong to say that israel is not acting self defence against acting in self defence against gaza and hamas. Well, we have to tell you whats happening now. And this is more than self defence, because theyre not just going after the Hamas Terrorists or Freedom Fighters , terrorists or Freedom Fighters, whatever you call them, on different sides of the argument. But innocent people but many, many innocent people have these figures have been killed. These figures have been killed. These figures have , you know, verified have been, you know, verified and supported by un agencies as well, un agencies that are full of hamas supporters in that part of hamas supporters in that part of the world. Certainly there are. You know, i would i would agree with that. 30,000 probably more now. And the vast majority of them are women and children, more than half of them completely innocent. And that needs to stop. I mean, even joe biden has said he doesnt want israel to go into rafah. And theyre planning you know, assault on rafah. Most of the people, innocent people in people, the innocent people in gaza have been pushed from the north south. Youve now north to the south. Youve now got of the civilians got most of them, the civilians stuck rafah, near to the stuck in rafah, near to the border. Theyre in horrendous situations, much more densely populated than they ever were. And it was bad enough to begin with. And now theyre threatening to go in and bomb the people in the places that are be safe. Thats are supposed to be safe. Thats got stop because theres got to stop because theres a humanitarian disaster there, and people are people are protesting against that, quite rightly so. Wants to stop. And anybody wants it to stop. And the news is theres a the good news is theres a really answer. Really straightforward answer. Its called freeing the hostages. Men , women hostages. The jewish men, women and children who were stolen from their homes by terrorists. And quite frankly, i agree. Free palestine , free palestine from palestine, free palestine from hamas, a terrorist group full of people who have raked in billions from International Aid across the world to live in the uae and qatar while their own people are dying. Nobody gave a damn about them before october 7th, and now theyre trying to use it as an excuse to blame israel when the arab world has let these people down. Its not just israel which has put limits on whats getting in and out of gaza. Its egypt too. And yet, gaza. Its egypt too. And yet, strangely, we never hear about egypt strangely, we never hear about egypt, which has a wall on its border with gaza that even donald trump couldnt imagine. Yeah look, i totally agree. Hamas should all the hamas should release all the hostages. Its absolutely wrong hostages. Its absolutely wrong that theyre keeping hostages. Thats appalling. But thats absolutely appalling. But israel far, far more israel are killing far, far more people almost every day, every week than the number of hostages that there are. One thing im cunous that there are. One thing im curious about, david. 12 years ago, i think it was, the, a syrian city with the Worlds Largest Palestinian Community was literally razed to the ground by our , bashar the ground by our, bashar al assad. He laid siege. Thats it. For 5 or 6 years, it was it. For 5 or 6 years, it was starvation. It was deprivation. It was it was illnesses. It was all the things we are seeing in gaza now. Why werent there marches in london about that . You know, thats a very good point. And i think theres about 30 different wars going on all over the world. But the only thing that we hear about in the Mainstream Media and the Media Outlets uk and around the outlets in the uk and around the west, in ukraine west, is the conflict in ukraine and conflict in israel, and the conflict in israel, gaza. Dont hear anything gaza. We dont hear anything much happening in much about whats happening in kashmir, in ethiopia, eritrea, in sudan , in burma, all these in sudan, in burma, all these other places. Theres lots of conflicts we should be hearing about. But this this was also this was this was also palestinians wiped out by palestinians being wiped out by by al assad. Why werent the people that are marching now marching then . Is it something to do with the fact that israel are involved . It may be. It doesnt. It doesnt. You know , it stopped doesnt. You know, it stopped the horror of whats happening in gaza at the moment. But yeah, its a very good question. You know, why people , why know, why arent people, why werent people there at that point . A very point . That is a very good point. Agree with that. But point. I do agree with that. But weve think about what is weve got to think about what is pretty. Pretty straightforward. You know, hate this you know, people hate this when jews that do it when its the jews that do it because there is an anti semitism that runs through history, that runs through so many countries in the world. Sadly, there are still many arab countries which teach their young that the holocaust never happened. Sadly there is still a very real anti semitism which is why you see israel painted as the evil , powerful aggressor the evil, powerful aggressor when it is a tiny country of a tiny population that has fought for thousands of years to have a safe place for jews who have been subject to more genocide than any other racial group. Than any other racial group. I think weve run out of time on that one, but we are coming back to this subject as well later on, because i think it is the one were talking the one thing were all talking about, this weekend from mothers obviously , now for mothers day, obviously, now for all best analysis all the best analysis and opinion and much more, opinion on that.

Weve already got off to start with a to a cracking start with a brilliant panel. Very, very fiery. Butterworth and fiery. Benjamin butterworth and david curtain because forgot david curtain because i forgot to i felt very to introduce him and i felt very guilty. Im doing major guilty. Now im doing major guilty. Now im doing major guilt trips today for me, mum and any case, lots and for used. In any case, lots of been getting in touch, of you been getting in touch, right, karen , karen, right, this is karen, karen, thanks for getting in touch. Karen hamas would only karen says, hamas would only ruin a ceasefire, meanwhile, peter says ban the word extremist and replace it with law. And stewart talking about the marches yesterday, i said there were only five arrests, because there were only five arrests. Theres not suggest the marches were more peaceful. It suggests police suggests that the Police Continue to tear policing. A lot of you feel that way, but my favourite one manages to go have a go at both of my brilliant panellists in one go, and this is annie, thank you annie, is from annie, thank you annie, whos got in via twitter whos got in touch via twitter stroke zone. Sorry, dawn, but david curtain is talking utter cobblers. I think we can say cobblers. I think we can say cobblers on air. Can we . Yep, quoting straight out of the mouth of Hamas Terrorists. And for once, agree with benjamin for once, i agree with benjamin butterworth, but i never normally do, so thanks for that , normally do, so thanks for that, annie. And if youve got to, if you want to comment directly to the panellist, get in touch gb views at gb news. Com or you can tweet us at gb news. Really, really simple. Now okay. Does the uk need an anti Muslim Hatred tsar, well, the man set to become a first fiyaz mughal has quit because of all the hate he got before he even started the position was set up by michael gove in an effort to crack down on extremism in the light of the hate seen from the palestinian protest. But now mr palestinian protest. But now mr miguel has turned down the job after vile attacks from both the far right and islamists who called him, who called him a sell out. But i want to know, do you think we need an anti Muslim Hatred tsar . So the left of flying start sort of, you know, having a heated debate . I think its called. So, david, im going to come to you on this one. Do we need actually, azar paid for by taxpayers, im guessing. No, to sort this out. This is an absolute load of wokery, isnt it . Another tsar to combat extremism or hate or something . These, again, are meaningless words. Hate is something that shouldnt actually be in law because it is subjective. I mean, hate is an subjective. I mean, hate is an emotion. As i said before, real law, real criminal activity is criminal assault , criminal criminal assault, criminal damage, murder. These kind of things which are objectively defined. And this is just creating a position for someone who already earns a lot of money in the ngos, i think, is the head of tell mama and Faith Matters well. Matters as well. Hes already been indeed, hes already been very of pushing very active in sort of pushing the that theres the narrative that theres systemic islamophobe phobia in the which i dont at the uk, which i dont think at all, most of what all, because most of what constitutes a reports of hate or reports of islamophobia, etc, are people not liking things on social media. And if youve been around for a long time, even after brexit, there was a narrative that theres an increase in hate crime. And after, you know, certain terrorist actions, you know, london bridge, and so and there was a narrative, theres more hate crime. And now we are after the 7th of october, the same thing is being said. Theres more hate crime , and theres more hate crime, and most it is just reporting most of it is just reporting things people mildly things that people find mildly offensive on x or something. So i there is a big i dont think there is a big problem, and we certainly dont need to push this narrative of hate, crime and extremism anymore. Okay , okay. Now on the other okay, okay. Now on the other side of this, there was also this job was in tandem with lord mann , who is mr goves advisor mann, who is mr goves advisor on anti semitism. Benjamin. At on anti semitism. Benjamin. At the corner of my eye, i could see you eye rolling , which you see you eye rolling, which you do magnificently. By the way, when david was speaking, do magnificently. By the way, when david was speaking , what when david was speaking, what would you what would you like . Can ask, so dont can i just ask, so you dont believe that theres been a rise in hatred since the 7th of october . Theres rise in theres been a rise in reporting things, but most of reporting of things, but most of the that are being the things that are being reported just that reported are just things that people like. On social people dont like. On social media, heard someone people dont like. On social me on heard someone people dont like. On social me on a heard someone people dont like. On social me on a protest heard someone people dont like. On social me on a protest andard someone people dont like. On social me on a protest and they meone people dont like. On social me on a protest and they dont e say on a protest and they dont like are words like it. So these are words rather actual criminal, rather than actual criminal, activity. Well, well, i mean, i havent seen any or very, very ive seen very, very few reports of actual criminal damage or actual assaults of people. Yes, there have been a few, but these go on all the time. And if there were more assaults and more criminal damage, they would be reported in in Media Outlets, as weve seen, 1 or 2 times. But most of them, most of the reports are of words, words that somebody finds offensive and i dont think we should be criminalising, things that we should have the free speech to say. It sounds it sounds a lot like your perception isnt based on facts or evidence. Its based on it is absolutely lot of time on the absolutely a lot of time on the internet. Us m m m based on that, give us your based on that, benjamin, theres benjamin, look, theres absolutely been a rise in tensions. Tensions in this country. Theres a seven fold increase in anti semitism and you also, as you do see, after terrorist attacks against, by muslims, pardon me, you see regular muslims in this country feeling the heat of people being angry at somebody thats done something wrong. Now, is something wrong. Now, that is textbook a textbook racism, okay . If a black person committed a crime and then a regular black person going about their life gets blamed, and we blamed, that is racism. And we shouldnt different shouldnt say its any different when its muslims. Now we have a problem. I think there are two separate things here that are both same time. One both true at the same time. One is that britain has a problem with and islamic with islamism and islamic extremism. There can be no doubt about that. And sadly, that has been obvious among some in the last couple of months in the response to hamass attack. It response to hamass attack. It is also the case that we undermine and project racist ideas onto regular muslims, that they do not deserve. That is undignified, and that they should not face that in modern britain. And i think there are too many people , particularly in too many people, particularly in the tory party at the moment, who trying to conflate those who are trying to conflate those two issues.

Hello welcome back to gb news sunday with me dawn neesom. News sunday with me dawn neesom. Happy mothers day. Were on your telly online and on radio, so hope youre having lunch with your mum. You can still keep an ear cant now ear out, cant you . Now a counter Protester Holding a banner Hamas Terrorists banner calling Hamas Terrorists was arrested at a pro palestine protest in Central London yesterday. He was wrestled to the ground by several met Police Officers and handcuffed. Footage you can see it here, shows one of the arresting officers ripping the sign out of his hands and screwing it up. The met have clarified that the man wasnt arrested for having the sign, which reads hamas is terrorists. Police said he was terrorists. Police said he was arrested after an altercation was ongoing and officers intervened to prevent a breach of the peace. He was arrested for assault officer then fully reviewed footage provided of the incident, and he was later de arrested. The man claims police told him he was arrested for his own safety. Heres what he had to say. He told me, as it danger for your life and for the people when they see may be attacked. And what did your sign say exactly . Exactly . Hamas is terrorist. This is a yeah. No, that was the sign. Police. Police. And thats what your sign said. I told to police they attacked me and i want to complain. He said, go to Police Station near your home now. I mean, this is this man is called Niyak Ghorbani is 30, 38 years old and he is an iranian who fled after criticising the iranian regime, which is probably a good thing to do. So he is now based in london, and his sign was, according to the British Government, a statement of fact. You know, hamas are in this country, a proscribed terrorist organisation. So its a bit i mean, arrested de arrested its a bit confusing. This one. Benjamin. But were the police right to take the action they took yesterday . Well, the first thing id say is that, yes, hamas is a terrorist group. Unfortunately, irans revolutionary guard is not proscribed as a terrorist group in this country and definitely should be. So thats probably why that feels so probably why that man feels so strongly behaviour strongly about irans behaviour in the middle what i would in the middle east, what i would say having seen the say is that having seen the video of what happened, there is an altercation in which it would appear that, you know, theres a to between this man and to and fro between this man and another male protester, but i think its i think its inappropriate for the police to say that they arrested him for assault because this person was being subjected to considerable abuse, which led to the altercation where they arrested him. The fact is that they seem more bothered by a man holding a sign, more willing to intervene against a man saying hamas is a terrorist. Its a terrorist group , which is the law of the group, which is the law of the land than they are. People celebrate outing the terrorists that are hamas. And i think it shows it loses public trust when the one arrest of five on that day is this man, and not the many other examples where most of us would look at it and say, thatis of us would look at it and say, that is abusive, that is inappropriate, that is probably illegal. The thing im confused about, and were seeing the footage here, again , is, david, the here, again, is, david, is the fact an altercation. Fact that its an altercation. An altercation takes two people normally. Why was he the only one that was arrested . Yeah, right. I mean , it yeah, right. I mean, it doesnt seem right to me because hes expressing hes just expressing his free speech the people the speech as the people on the protests expressing protests were expressing their free all free speech, they should all be allowed say what want on allowed to say what they want on allowed to say what they want on a there was an a public highway. There was an altercation. Mean , in other altercation. I mean, in other reports, that reports, ive heard that hes the something. Dont the victim of something. I dont know , you know, started it know, you know, who started it and it. And who escalated it. Just he was he just claimed he was attacked by a protester. Both probably were. Both claim that the other person that they the other person started it i dont know, but i mean, the police are very, very heavy handed here someone heavy handed here to someone whos know, using his whos just you know, using his free speech. But then you free speech. But then again, you have think , was this have to sort of think, was this a thing to do, going a wise thing to do, going then with such a sign where he knows on his own, he knows on his own, where he knows theres going to be thousands and thousands other people, and thousands of other people, and thousands of other people, and wind them up. I and that might wind them up. I mean, still got the mean, hes still got the free speech that. But, you know speech to do that. But, you know , you know, he , you question, you know, he must that something must know that something will probably happen if he does that, because of young because theres a lot of young men on the protest who are men there on the protest who are going get riled up. Going to get easily riled up. But you know, this brings to my mind something that mind Something Else that happenedin mind Something Else that happened in london, in speakers corner, where there was a christian, preacher called hat and tash and she was surrounded by very, very large islamist men, and they were harassing her and then the Police Arrested the christian woman, small christian woman. Right, to protect her, as woman. Right, to protect her, as they said, from the islamists who are gathering around her and threatening her. And actually, one of them actually punched her, the one who was her, but she was the one who was arrested. Yeah for a breach of the peace. She was the peace. And then she was later de arrested. Think , later de arrested. And i think, i memory serves me i think if my memory serves me right, actually got right, that she actually got some compensation for that, but it seems me theres something it seems to me theres something going on with the metropolitan police theyre actually police where theyre actually arresting victims of assaults. Where there are a large number of assaulters , because its of assaulters, because its easier to do that. Its easier to remove one person rather than tackle the large group of other people who are actually, doing something wrong. Something wrong. Back to what stuart said earlier on, who got in touch saying sort of like its two tier policing. And do think tier policing. And do you think thats thats the case . I mean, yes, i do. You know, i mean, yes, i do. You know, what youre seeing in this footage is this man being wrestled to the ground by four, maybe five Police Officers. Its hard to tell exactly for having held up that sign that says hamas is terrorist. That was pred hamas is terrorist. That was ripped out of his hands. The idea that they think that many Police Officers need to wrestle a peaceful protester stating the law of the land to the ground, tells you that this wasnt just a case of protecting his safety, which would be justified to take him out of the situation. But probably not. But you dont want to arrest him. Exactly but what ive said, the arrest nothing to do with but what ive said, the arresign. Nothing to do with but what ive said, the arresign. Itiothing to do with but what ive said, the arre sign. It was ng to do with but what ive said, the arresign. It was because with but what ive said, the arresign. It was because ofth but what ive said, the arresign. It was because of an altercation. This man did not need 4 or 5 men toppling him to the ground to put him in handcuffs and dragging him away. Meanwhile, dragging him away. Meanwhile, the person that ripped that sign from hands, you see no from his hands, you see no evidence in the footage of him being followed. Evidence in the footage of him beiithis llowed. Evidence in the footage of him beiithis isywed. Evidence in the footage of him beiithis is what confused this is what im confused about. That who the and that man who did rip the sign was very sign out of his hands was very angry. Are people so angry angry. Why are people so angry when someone carrying sign . When someone is carrying a sign . That of fact in that is a statement of fact in this country, hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation. Organisation. Yeah. I mean, they shouldnt be. They should if theyre theyre protesting about something, should respect something, they should respect other protesting other people who are protesting about other things. Absolutely. That because so do you think that because that action meant they were supporting hamas, i dont know. I mean, i dont know what was in the persons head, but, you know, there were people the know, there were people on the pro palestine probably pro palestine marches, probably they were there, you know, to protest against the, you know, whats happening people whats happening to the people in. I mean, i imagine that in gaza. I mean, i imagine that theyre calling for a ceasefire. I but certainly they i dont know, but certainly they got by the protest, got riled up by the protest, the sign that he was holding. I dont know, but but, you know, i would just say this does seem to be something new thats happening police that happening with the police that theyre now gathering around, picking individual people picking off individual people and pushing them to the ground. And then , you know, putting and then, you know, putting their knee on their head. And i first saw that in some of the protests against lockdowns, which i was on, and was which i was on, and i was shocked at some the shocked at how some of the police were ive never police were acting. Ive never seen sarah. Before seen that before. Sarah. Before right on, on clapham common, similar right on, on clapham common, simyeah. Were treated like yeah. Men were treated like that. This is some new that. And this is some new tactic that theyre using. Patsy stevenson, the famous woman with the orange ginger hair that was photographed. You know, she got an apology, but she had raise awful lot of she had to raise an awful lot of to money take the legal case, to take police on, you know, take the police on, you know, your protester does not your average protester does not have is the of have that. This is the image of a man in britain stating the law against terrorists being arrested, as people that may sympathise with that just wandering past that wanted to drag that out of his hand. You know, we have a serious problem when that is the first reaction of the police. You have a training issue. There you have an education issue there, that thatis an education issue there, that that is what the police think is acceptable. I could contemplate that from the that removing him from the situation for his own safety is a justified police action. I cannot contemplate that taking all the Police Resource in that section of a potentially dangerous march to arrest the man, law of the land man, stating the law of the land is justified. Its not. Its a very curious incident , isnt it . But what do incident, isnt it . But what do you there . Let us you think out there . Let us know. Gb views at gb news. Do you think there is a two tier policing of marches going you think there is a two tier poli i ng of marches going you think there is a two tier poli i ng of lookingirches going you think there is a two tier poli i ng of looking at|es going you think there is a two tier poli i ng of looking at thatoing on . I mean, looking at that footage, its very shocking, isnt know what you isnt it . Lets know what you think though, right . Im dawn neesom. This news sunday neesom. This is gb news sunday and more coming and there is loads more coming up show, a car has up on todays show, a car has crashed into the gates of Buckingham Palace with armed police arresting the driver. But why it take so long for the why did it take so long for the police to release a statement regarding this incident . All of that and much more to come. This is britains news is gb news britains news channel. Hello. Welcome back. This is gb hello. Welcome back. This is gb news sunday. Im dawn neesom on your telly online and on Digital Radio. Now, this is a curious story. A car has crashed into the gates of Buckingham Palace with armed police arresting the driver. Police rush to the palace early hours of palace in the early hours of yesterday morning after reports of a loud bang. But the met police didnt release a statement about the incident and only commented when contacted by the saying a man had been the media, saying a man had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. Arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. Our royal criminal damage. Our royal correspondent Cameron Walker has more. More. We understand the gates were damaged and social media footage or images shows armed police swooping in on the car. We know that the individual driving the car was arrested. The gates are also being repaired as well. What we dont know is the exact circumstances as to why the car crashed into those. Those gates. We have not been given any details of a motive, by police orindeed details of a motive, by police or indeed whether or not it was accidental. Metropolitan police accidental. Metropolitan police perhaps will give us more details later on today, but as i said, no members of the royal family were in residence , so family were in residence, so hopefully the only thing that is damaged indeed the gates, damaged is indeed the gates, which of course are being hastily repaired. Hastily repaired. Its curious one. Joining me now is royal commentator and friend of the show, the very lovely jennie bond jenny, thank you with a gorgeous living room there. Jenny. Thank so much there. Jenny. Thank you so much for joining us this afternoon. Jenny, incident happened in jenny, this incident happened in the early hours of saturday morning, but there was no statement made until today. What what this . What do you make of this . Well, its a bit odd. Yeah. 36 hours on now. Were talking about it. And i had no idea it would happened. I must admit, you guys contacted me about a car crash at the palace. I said what . I didnt know anything about it, i dont know why they didnt release any details. As cameron there was no cameron said, there was no danger to any the royal danger to any of the royal family, they didnt family, so perhaps they didnt regard it as that serious. Its not time its not the first time its happened. Wont be the last happened. It wont be the last cars crashed into those cars have crashed into those gates did gates before this car did a particularly good number on the gates, people have gates, obviously, people have naked men have abseiled down onto the roof of the palace. Weve had Michael Fagan on the in the late queens bedroom 40 years ago. So these security lapses happen. But why we lapses happen. But why we werent told about it is the mystery. Its interesting. I mean, it is actually quite given the traffic setup around Buckingham Palace, its actually quite difficult the difficult to drive into the gates accidentally. And gates accidentally. And obviously very, obviously were all very, very twitchy terrorism twitchy about the terrorism threat. And then we had the pro palestine march the same pro palestine march on the same day. I pro palestine march on the same day. I mean, people are day. I mean, lots of people are putting two and two together and coming potentially coming up with five, potentially six, . Six, arent they . Yeah. More conspiracy theories. Yes. Lets go theories. Yes. Lets not go there, all we know is that some a man, for some reason , crashed a man, for some reason, crashed into the gates, did a lot of damage and is under arrest and any more, we really dont know. We cant say because hes under arrest. Arrest. But another story but there is another story today want to talk you today that i want to talk to you about the have about. Jenny, the palace have issued beautiful picture issued today a beautiful picture of the princess of wales, catherine, taken by william and issued for mothers day, it looks lovely. And this is the first weve seen or heard of, catherine since she went in for surgery, isnt it . Well apart from the paparazzi picture that was taken earlier this week, obviously wasnt published in this country, but was widely available the internet , and available on the internet, and that showed showed that she was with and apparently on with her mum and apparently on the school run. But now we see her in tradition , posting each her in a tradition, posting each year they post on mothers day a picture with, children and catherine together. And yeah, my first reaction was, phew , first reaction was, phew, goodness me, she looks fine, and its a full length picture. Otherwise, we probably have other conspiracy theories that she had her legs chopped off or something, you know, she she looked fine. Shes got all her limbs. Shes wearing quite a tight pair of jeans, which, after Abdominal Surgery, suggests shes suggests that, you know, shes shes feeling a bit more comfortable. Looks happy. Comfortable. She looks happy. The. So, it is the kids look relaxed. So, it is a relief to see that picture. No it is nice because the whole world and his wife are asking, where is kate . Happened to kate, etc. Whats happened to kate, etc. Lots conspiracy theories. Lots of conspiracy theories. Just quick one quickly. Just just one quick one quickly. Jenny. Her jenny. Shes not wearing her wedding thoughts . Wedding rings. Any thoughts . Did she not . Oh my god, here we go again. I didnt look that closely. Oh goodness me, i have noidea closely. Oh goodness me, i have no idea why. Perhaps she just, i dont know. Perhaps shed done the washing up and left it on the washing up and left it on the side of the sink. Im sure thats the case.

I mean, i think it was glorious what happened in rochdale. Given kicking rochdale. Hed given a kicking to both labour the fake to both labour and the fake conservative i call conservative party, as i call them. But you can see with the by elections over the last 2 or 3 the tory has 3 years, the tory vote has collapsed. Even in their own heartlands. But labour have not done any better. I heartlands. But labour have not done any better. I mean, the number of people voting for labour has either stayed the same decreased slightly. So same or decreased slightly. So theyve elections same or decreased slightly. So theelections elections same or decreased slightly. So theelections. Elections same or decreased slightly. So theelections. But elections same or decreased slightly. So theelections. But thatsections same or decreased slightly. So theelections. But thats notyns by elections. But thats not because people are rushing to laboun because people are rushing to labour. Its because theyve abandoned the tories completely. And theyre winning by and so theyre winning by default. But i think, you know, with someone like George Galloway , hes broken the mould galloway, hes broken the mould now, know. Is the now, you know. So this is the first by election someone first by election where someone who not of the, you know, for who is not of the, you know, for big parliamentary parties , if big parliamentary parties, if you include the lib dems and greens in that have won an election. So this opens the way election. So this opens the way for challenger parties like my own, the heritage party, obviously his Workers Party to make a big difference in the general really general election. So im really excited this myself and excited about this myself and were gearing up. You know, we want into parliament and want to get into parliament and make a difference. Very exactly. Yeah. Very exactly. Yeah. Very exactly. Its a good do you think its a good thing, benjamin . Wouldnt the day i wouldnt give up the day job david. Oh, that job just yet. David. Oh, that thats, cutting. Thats, thats very cutting. The fact is that you know, the fact is that George Galloway first of all, i do not think his election to parliament is, quote unquote, glorious in the slightest. This is an obscene egotist who doesnt care about this country, doesnt care about rochdale, doesnt as far as im concerned , care about the muslim concerned, care about the muslim communities that have repeatedly elected him. He cares only about elected him. He cares only about himself. Elected him. He cares only about himself. This elected him. He cares only about himself. This guy in the last 20 himself. This guy in the last 20 years has run in nine constituencies for six different Political Parties , during which Political Parties, during which hes had four wives. This is not a man that cares about helping others. And so i dont care what party or absence of party he stands for, he is not somebody who is in politics for the right reasons. I think if you look at the evidence about what the polls say and about what weve seen in the really very considerable of by considerable number of by elections in the last 12 months, you have seen the labour you have seen that the labour party is polling both in real elections and in predictions elections and in the predictions , the highest that it has since 19, the mid 90s. In fact, often the polls put them more ahead of the polls put them more ahead of the tories than they were in the mid 90s. So this idea that theres been a divergence from theres been a divergence from the i dont think the major parties, i dont think its happening on the left. Theres evidence that. Theres no evidence of that. I think real danger for think theres a real danger for the conservative there the conservative party. There was in the new was a brilliant piece in the new statesman about this, the magazine, a couple weeks magazine, a couple of weeks ago about fact that youve got about the fact that youve got the reform party. According to a gb news this week , i think gb news poll this week, i think five behind five points behind the conservative now, its conservative party now, its never going to translate into parliamentary seats in a substantial way, but i think youre seeing a real fight for the heart of the right and what mainstream right wing politics looks like. That reform could really transform the conservatives after the general election. David. I mean , it does appear david. I mean, it does appear to be both main Political Parties are tearing themselves apart. They dont need George Galloway to do it for them. Galloway to do it for them. Theyre doing it very successfully themselves. And another recent put both another recent poll put both Jeremy Corbyn and Boris Johnson are both more popular than the current leaders. Of the two main parties. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you look at the two main parties and your the others in parliament as well, and theres hardly any difference between them, but theyre not offering what the majority of people in country want. People in the country want. I mean woke. They are mean theyre woke. They are pushing the climate alarmist agenda. Pushing the climate alarmist agenda. Theyre dismantling our agenda. Theyre dismantling our energy systems. They both are pushed for lockdowns and coerced injections. No jab, no job injections. No jab, no job regulations for care home workers , which was absolutely workers, which was absolutely appalling. Now theyre pushing for war in ukraine. More escalation, more money, more weapons to the zelenskyy regime, which is very, very unpopular. People have turned away from that. And obviously in rochdale theres a big muslim contingent who are very, very opposed to tory Labour Together for, supporting, you know, the continued military operation in gaza. So they they want a ceasefire. So thats another issue. So all of these issues, you could hardly split tory, laboun you could hardly split tory, labour, lib dem, green on and the majority of people want a difference. I mean thatsjust difference. I mean thats just complete nonsense. Its absolute fact. Its absolute fact. Theres no evidence for that. Theres no evidence for that. Well George Galloway is the evidence. He just won the seat isnt he . And he a seat. Parties and he won a seat. Parties like are putting up good like mine are putting up a good challenge to the mainstream parties. Parties. He won the seat of rochdale with very demographic with a very unusual demographic of with the green of electorate with the green party, muslim. Party, not muslim. The green party not. The green party not. Yeah. Which in a in a first past the post system is clearly enough to win if they, if they choose vote bloc. You choose to vote as a bloc. You had official party had no official Labour Party Candidate because labour dropped them. Official green them. You had no official green Party Candidate because the guy Left Green Party halfway Party Candidate because the guy left thezn party halfway Party Candidate because the guy left the process. Halfway Party Candidate because the guy left the process. It lfway Party Candidate because the guy left the process. It wasy through the process. It was a completely abnormal set of circumstances with a character that whips up Community Tensions and tries to divide people, and hes tried it over and over again. You know, the truth is again. You know, the truth is that the tories are doing really, really badly. But even if up the two parties, if you add up the two parties, they are consistently polling between 65 and 70 combined in the polls. Thats without any exception in any poll in the last 18 months. Right. So the idea that the country has completely rejected them, the idea that the country doesnt support ukraine or doesnt support ukraine or doesnt support military action in the middle east support the middle to east support the stability there is for the birds, thats absolutely not true. The what . The what . I gave evidence. Whats your evidence . Evidence . Well, the evidence i have is talking to many, many people around the country. Evidence thats anecdotal, that that together but you put that together and then majority of people then the vast majority of people i are against all of i speak to are against all of these things. Theyre against climate alarmism, escalation, alarmism, against escalation, people with you, people that agree with you, i suspect, in ukraine. Suspect, in the in the ukraine. Well, these things are very, very people very unpopular. People are abandoning the mainstream parties and the things that you would support, climate would support, like climate alarmism , for example, and alarmism, for example, and escalation ukraine. Escalation of war in ukraine. I dont know whats in your head, but it seems you support but it seems like you support those want an end those things. People want an end to they want parties to this, and they want parties to this, and they want parties to on the british people to focus on the british people first. Well, we are a new party we formed in 2020. We stood in a number of by elections and were going to stand. When did you come in those elections . Well, we didnt come with the best we did was did you came fourth the hartlepool fourth in the hartlepool by election. Was a very by election. So that was a very good result considering that we are 400 and something votes. But we obviously were we came but so obviously were a new party. We agree were we all agree were a challenger party based on you won votes in your best. Won 400 votes in your best. That in our first that was in our first election, first by election. Election, the first by election. So obviously were so were obviously were developing weve got developing since then weve got nine councillors actually at town parish theyre town and parish level. Theyre doing immensely good and theyre doing immensely good and theyre doing great where are doing great work where they are challenging the woke narrative, challenging the woke narrative, challenging climate challenging the climate narrative those kind narrative and all of those kind of things. Agenda 2030, challenging that, challenging the un 17 Sustainable Development goals, the gender agenda, all of your votes and all of those studio and well , we all of those studio and well, we have weve got many, many more voters maybe youve got voters than maybe youve got people that you go to the pub with. Look, youre quite entitled to say that thats what you think look like. To say that thats what you thinthis look like. To say that thats what you thinthis idea look like. To say that thats what you thinthis idea that look like. To say that thats what you thinthis idea that thatok like. To say that thats what you thinthis idea that that is like. To say that thats what you thinthis idea that that is what but this idea that that is what people are calling out that people are calling out for, that people are calling out for, that people want to support people dont want to support ukrainians invaded ukrainians being invaded by russia, care russia, that they dont care about the israelis being killed, that they wanted die during that they wanted to die during covid. These are nonsense. Its not country is. And not where the country is. And you know what . I know this is a really unfashionable opinion , but i am unfashionable opinion, but i am proud to be relatively centrist in politics. In my politics. I actually think its an achievement of democracy, that you have the two major parties fighting over the that fighting over the people that matter determine the result fighting over the people that m. Anyr determine the result fighting over the people that man election� rmine the result fighting over the people that man election withe the result fighting over the people that man election with similarsult of an election with similar views, says that were a views, that says that were a country thats not as divided as we the decade. We were in the last decade. Well, no, are framing well, no, you are framing things a certain way are things in a certain way that are very, mean, very, very unpopular. I mean, what middle east what we have in the middle east is of people do not is a majority of people do not want more people in gaza be want more people in gaza to be slaughtered. The majority of people not more support. People do not want more support. Streets of peace on the streets of london. I i dont think london. I mean, i dont think support free speech and most people support free speech. Obviously, i dont support crime. And ive said before, im against criminal activity, against real criminal activity, but there are all these other issues that were talking about. Most people not most people do not want a continuation and escalation of the war in ukraine. We want an end to that war, and we want money to be spent in this country, not on the zelenskyy regime. People not want regime. Most people do not want climate alarmism and all the policies that go with this, which are anti car, which are anti carbon based fuels, we want anti carbon based fuels, we want an infrastructure that an Energy Infrastructure that works, that gives us cheap, reliable energy. These kind of things. And the parties in parliament are for all that. The number of votes theyre getting collectively is going down. And this is a fantastic time. Thats not true. The challenger party. No, it is because i think because in 2019, there were 85 of people voted tory and labour. Now even the polls, if you even agree with them, who knows if theyre true or not because they very sample, they take a very small sample, are showing, so the are showing, 65 to 70. So the number votes or voters number of votes or voters collectively for those two parties are going down, they will go down further. Youve seen their votes collapse in the by elections. The tory vote particularly has collapsed. And particularly has collapsed. And i think youre too beholden to supporting these parties that are destroying our nation. You need to get on board with the heritage party. Do you know what i cant stand people to stand when people claim to be patriots and then talk about our country ruined. Country having been ruined. Britain really Great Britain is a really great country, i actually like the country, and i actually like the fact that we have two main parties have lot in parties which have a lot in common, because thats where the voters are. For me, that says were country not were a country thats not divided. That divided. Were a country that is considerably richer, that has considerably richer, that has considerably less poverty than it did 40 or 50 years ago, though there are still big problems. And i think were a problems. And i think were a country that has a lot more in common we dont. Know, common than we dont. You know, weve a period weve just been through a period where hatred and where weve seen hatred and division horrendous levels division reach horrendous levels in of the brexit in the aftermath of the brexit referendum. Also. Thats nonsense. Thats im not blaming. No, hang on, dont interject. No, hang on, dont interject. Im not making an anti brexit comment. Im saying that youve seen people be divided and entrenched, and social media has had effect that. But had a big effect on that. But the that the that the fact is that the party that the fact is that the party that the party its the labour party is seeing its highest support in 30 years, the fact is that 2017 general election saw the highest support for the two main Political Parties than parties in more than a generation. So this idea that the two parties dont represent anybody, that the country is desperate to get rid of them, is nonsense. And we know that because your best ever result, mate, 400 votes. Mate, was 400 votes. Look, going to look, look, we are going to do better. Have councillors, do better. We have councillors, as but you know, on one as i say. But you know, on one hand support democracy, hand you support democracy, but on hand, youre saying on the other hand, youre saying that, oh, in the aftermath of brexit, brexit was because brexit, brexit was bad because there was, hey, there was a narrative of hate afterwards and i support de escalation. Thats what i i didnt thats what i said. I didnt say was bad for words in say brexit was bad for words in my mouth. I didnt say brexit was bad. I said weve had a horrendous level of division. And actually i fact that weve come i think the fact that weve come past is a thing and past that is a good thing and you might galloway you might want George Galloway back, hes back, but i think hes a disgrace country. Disgrace to this country. Out. Two coming seconds out. Round two coming up. Both mentioned up. And you both mentioned the b word. Im sorry going to word.

Im dawn neesom this is gb news sunday, sunday. Sunday, its mothering sunday. Hope marvellous hope youre having a marvellous time loads coming time. Theres loads more coming up labours up on todays show, now Labours Shadow Health secretary says a crisis in masculinity is contributing to an increase in Mental Health issues among young men. What do you make of that one . Ill be discussing that and much more. This is gb news, britains news channel. Put the kettle on for your mum. Dont go too far. Welcome back to gb news sunday with me. Dawn neesom on your with me. Dawn neesom on your telly. Online and on Digital Radio. Now, as its mothers day, im going to talk about men. Why wouldnt i, labour is set to introduce a mens health strategy, arguing there has to be has been a failure to address issues like preventable suicides and cancer deaths amongst men. Shadow Health Secretary wes streeting has told the telegraph. Lots of young men, particularly working class boys, are struggling in school and worried about their futures and i think thats contributing to a sort of crisis in masculinity with Mental Health issues rising. Is he right . David are young men at the moment struggling with masculinity to define what masculinity is . Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. In many, many ways. But im a little suspicious about why wes streeting from the labour party is saying this at this particular time, just before an election, because, you know, they havent said anything about this, you know, for the time that they were in parliament, the time they were being in opposition, the tories have been in opposition. So, you know, mens health gone mens Mental Health has gone down over many, many years. And there is a crisis in masculinity. They dont talk about two of the main cultural reasons why there is a crisis. Number one is there is a crisis. Number one is the erosion of family values and the erosion of family values and the destruction of the nuclear family. Theres so many people today who arent brought up with a mother and a father. You know, a mother and a father. You know, boys especially, they need a stable father or a father figure in order to bring them up and teach them how to be a man. You know, without that, a lot of them go into gangs and these kind of things. Yeah, kind of things. And, yeah, obviously Health Issues that obviously the Health Issues that hes talking about, suicides and things , alcohol abuse, which can things, alcohol abuse, which can lead to premature death and things like that, obviously can result from that well. So if result from that as well. So if you have a Stable Family you brought up with your mother brought up with your own mother and are married, then and father who are married, then every every piece of every survey, every piece of research that has ever been done shows that you have Better Outcomes in life from that situation. But hes not also talking about the feminist agenda and how modern iterations of feminism are very , very anti of feminism are very, very anti men, you know, almost to the point of being , misandrist. And point of being, misandrist. And thatis point of being, misandrist. And that is also very, very damaging. You get messages all the time in the media, even in schools these days, that men are useless. Men have toxic masculinity and men are derided. And that is very, very damaging. So i think that hes talking about some of the symptoms, but hes not talking about the causes. And that needs to be discussed as well, obviously needs to be tackled. What do you make of that, benjamin . I mean, its go back to its like we need to go back to traditional family values. The traditional family values. The traditional children traditional mum, dad, children set up. And is this feeding the likes of andrew tate to come in and take advantage of this vacuum of strong, defined masculinity role models . Well, look, i wasnt raised by a stable father and managed not to join a gang, so, you know, it is possible. I dont think you that. I was think you need that. I was susceptible woke but think you need that. I was s avoidedle woke but think you need that. I was savoided gang woke but think you need that. I was savoided gang culture. � but i avoided gang culture. Unfortunate. Thats unfortunate. Thats unfortunate. Oh, look, i think that that what mr streeting is saying here definitely has a point. You know, 3 in 4 suicides in this country are men. There is a suicide crisis, a Mental Health crisis among men under 40. But i dont accept the andrew tate argument. I think andrew tate is taking advantage of a lot of young men who are suffering from an identity crisis. They dont know where their boundaries are. They dont know where their role in society is. Often think in society is. And often i think they pressured the they feel pressured by the existence of toxic masculinity. The fact is that one of the reasons that male poor Mental Health and suicide is so high is because they dont feel they can explain themselves , they cant explain themselves, they cant talk through the problems theyre those issues theyre having. Those issues like the identity struggles theyre having. Fault that . Whose fault is that . Whose fault is that . Well, i think is it maybe feminism . No, i think its a fault hyper masculine who fault of hyper masculine men who raise their kids saying that they should be aggressive physically , that they should be physically, that they should be abrasive, that they should be blokey. Now, those being blokey blokey. Now, those being blokey can be okay, but the fact is that you are not raising your men and boys to be able to talk about their feelings. And i think thats why the rates of poor Mental Health are much lower among women, because women talk to each other, they communicate, support each communicate, they support each other, and i think men we other, and i think as men we dont that. And then you dont have that. And then you have changing role of men have this changing role of men in society you know, in society where, you know, theyre treat theyre being told to treat women with respect than women with more respect than historically has been normal. And struggling to and theyre struggling to balance the two. They dont have people to. And thats people to talk to. And thats why think that we have why i think that we have a problem. Why i think that we have a pro covid y why dont men talk covid y y why dont men talk to each other like women do to each other more like women do i mean, i think there are real biological differences between men and women. I mean, even there was a harvard professor who wrote a book called the female brain, the male brain, and we there are differences in certain parts of the brain, which means that women in general are more apt to talk other, express talk to each other, express emotions and so on. And men in general are more apt to solve logical problems and more scientific. And in that area. Scientific. And in that area. Now, of course, there are within that, except turns on the bell curve. But thats the general. There is a general real observed empirical scientific difference between men and women , of between men and women, of course. And we need to accept that. So, you know, you cant sort of expect men to be like women. And what has happened is that in education these days, you people going in and you have people going in and saying, oh, masculinity is toxic. We need instead of bringing up boys to be good men where theyre bringing up boys to be more like women. And thats the danger. And then that opens up people like andrew tate, as you said, to come in and men are so lost because they havent been taught whats good masculinity and then someone comes in and can exploit that. Hes an incredible businessman, but he sees a brokenness in hundreds of thousands and millions of men and can come in and they go in that direction. So whats answer, so whats the answer, benjamin . Mean, should benjamin . I mean, i mean, should men be, you implied, more men be, as you implied, more open or or is it as, as as davids implying there needs to be stronger male role. Well, strong male role models doesnt mean the kind that mr curtin describes or the people like andrew tate that take advantage of a lot of teenagers. I dont accept that women being stronger and having far more opportunities and equality than they did two generations ago means that men are somehow diminished. Means that men are somehow diminished. I think you have a problem where, on the one hand, youve got a society telling men that they should not have the toxic traits that were normal , toxic traits that were normal, you know, go back 50 years and it was normal in this country for a man to be abusive to his wife. And we definitely dont accept today. Know, accept that today. You know, weve in the weve come a long way in the expectations of men. Enough. Far enough. Far enough. Yet at the same time, and yet at the same time, yeah, enough. Yeah, not far enough. No, absolutely. Same absolutely. But at the same time, youve got time, youve still got a generation raising their generation of men raising their boys to be aggressive. You know, when i a you know, my when i was a kid, you know, my dads been in and out of prison, as and i was as is my mother, and i was raised. They tried to make me to be aggressive, do kung fu, to be aggressive, to do kung fu, to be aggressive, to do kung fu, to be that. And that be like that. And that just wasnt type of boy or man wasnt the type of boy or man that i was going be. But that i was going to be. But there pressure to be on there was a pressure to be on that. And i think there are too many trying to force their many men trying to force their boys to replicate their mistakes. I think theres lot mistakes. I think theres a lot of middle aged older men in of middle aged and older men in this are miserable of middle aged and older men in this unhappy are miserable of middle aged and older men in this unhappy , are miserable of middle aged and older men in this unhappy , ande miserable of middle aged and older men in this unhappy , and theyre able of middle aged and older men in this unhappy , and theyre still and unhappy, and theyre still raising their kids. Boys raising their kids. Theyre boys in that were. And in the way that they were. And if repeat the same mistakes, if you repeat the same mistakes, youre going a youre not going to get a different answer. Final. David quick final. David quick final. Mean, that is one yeah, i mean, that is one extreme. If you like. The other extreme, exists is extreme, which exists a lot, is that men are put down and theyre told, well, dont dont be aggressive at all. Be a doormat. And that can cause just as many health. Think im as many health. Dont think im as many health. Dont think im a the other side. A problem as the other side. Im not going to say anything here. I dont treat men like doormat at all. Never have done, any case, im dawn neesom. This is gb news sunday, and theres lots more coming up on todays show. But first, lets get the News Headlines with sophia wenzler. Wenzler. Thanks, dawn.

Thank you so much, fiona, for getting in touch. And hes being fairly good this afternoon, you know, but, you know, its not perfect, is he . Well all agree on that one. But keep those messages coming in. Gb views at gb news. Com. Now now, on mothers day, this ones a bit of a bit of a one. And the uk has been ranked the second most miserable nation according to the mental well being index, ranking only above uzbekistan . Ranking only above uzbekistan . With 35 of brits describing themselves as distressed, many could blame the cost of living crisis and the struggling Health Service for the countrys unrest, as the office of National Statistics recorded an overall decline in personal well being across the uk in 2023. Oh benjamin , are you 2023. Oh benjamin, are you miserable, no, im not naturally a miserable person. I have been ihave a miserable person. I have been i have been to uzbekistan , which i have been to uzbekistan, which i have been to uzbekistan, which i doubt many people. Why wouldnt you . Why wouldnt you . I mean, you know, uzbekistan. I mean, you know, uzbekistan. I find it very boring place, to be its like be honest. Its like saudi arabia all the money. Arabia without all the money. Just entire so just just an entire country. Pakistan. Country. Sorry. Pakistan. Was. It a very it was. It wasnt a very exciting place. Maybe thats exciting place. So maybe thats why one below the why its one one below the united look, i mean, united kingdom. Look, i mean, look, other measures look, there are other measures like happiness report, like the World Happiness report, the puts us as the the index which puts us as the 19th happiest in the world. So not everything that not everything is saying that britain i can britain is miserable. But i can definitely why brits definitely understand why brits feel that way. Because, look, lets honest, weve got lets be honest, weve got a situation where it feels as though britain is losing its place in the world. Weve got a situation where if you went back to two thousand and seven, the average had the average british family had the highest, income highest, average Family Income of the g7 countries. Today we have the lowest of the g7 countries. So weve seen a situation where peoples ability to not just have money to buy a house or pay the bills, their ability to actually enjoy life has been slowly eroded over the last 15 years. And so is it any wonder that people are not feeling particularly perky . Hold on a minute. Hold on a minute. One of the most happiest countries, to according this ranking, is a Dominican Republic where people are actually not that well off, are they . Theyre not. But im about money, surely its. No. No. I mean, you feel is not i mean, how you feel is not always related to how much money you have. I mean , you know, you have. I mean, you know, obviously if youre grindingly poon obviously if youre grindingly poor, that you, but poor, that affects you, but Research Shows you get to a certain level and your happiness increases , you get to that increases, you get to that level. You have more level. And if you have more wealth, happiness wealth, then your happiness doesnt anymore so doesnt increase anymore. So it just be with how just cant be to do with how much money have. Although much money people have. Although there who are there are some people who are grindingly country, there are some people who are grithatsy country, there are some people who are grithats going country, there are some people who are grithats going to country, there are some people who are grithats going to have ountry, there are some people who are grithats going to have an 1try, so thats going to have an effect. But theres so many other mean, even down other things. I mean, even down to of modern to the kind of modern architecture have. Architecture that we have. I mean, through most modern mean, you go through most modern towns today. Theyre towns and cities today. Theyre building huge blocks of carbuncles that look horrible and disgusting, and theyre theyre soulless and depressing , theyre soulless and depressing, you know . No, no, king charles has done the poundbury thing near dorchester. Thats good. Near dorchester. Thats good. You thats thats building near dorchester. Thats good. Yo traditionalats thats building near dorchester. Thats good. Yo traditional styles. Ts building near dorchester. Thats good. Yo traditional styles. Ts b you ng in traditional styles. But you know, you come into london, for example, any direction example, from any direction north, south east, west, you see huge, know , acres and acres huge, you know, acres and acres and square miles of these horrible new tower blocks which dont have any beauty in them whatsoever. So even our physical whatsoever. So even our physical environment is being, you know, degraded. So theres no beauty degraded. So theres no beauty in life, along with massive surveillance. And so these kind of things which make people feel on edge all the time. This comes after lockdowns and, which obviously affected peoples Mental Health. So weve got many, many things which are, you know , agitating and militating know, agitating and militating against peoples happiness. So it isnt surprising, you know, how people feel like this. I think the reason that that the poor Economic Outlook of britain will affect people is because theyve known something better. So when lost better. And so when youve lost something, when something is fading, youre going it fading, youre going to feel it far acutely if you far more acutely than if you hadnt. Think about hadnt. But i think about because a because i, you know, im a guilty of my carbon output, but i love to travel and i love to travel to countries really different to britain and the two favourite ive ever favourite countries ive ever been i absolutely love favourite countries ive ever bee kosovo i absolutely love favourite countries ive ever bee kosovo andibsolutely love favourite countries ive ever beekosovo and nepal,3ly love favourite countries ive ever beekosovo and nepal, and ve are kosovo and nepal, and particularly nepal, which is, compared to us, a much poorer country. They have this brilliant sense of community, of openness , of looking after one openness, of looking after one another. You start a conversation in the street and they happily help you however it may be. I was in jordan last week in the middle east and they were quite similar to that. And i think what weve lost is that sense of community, that sense of responsibility stranger of responsibility to a stranger to help them out if you can. And i think thats whats going to let people feel this way, because youve got people working 40 hours a week working 40 hours or more a week to have no money left, to to then have no money left, to not know who their neighbours are, to have worse outcomes in their public services. And i think not just a lack of think its not just a lack of money that is the problem. Its the fact that lots of countries that have that they at least have Community Spirit that have a Community Spirit that makes it. I think we makes up for it. And i think we dont thats very interesting. A lot of countries on but a lot of the countries on the list that old school the list do have that Old School Family community where family values community where families one families look out for one another. Running another. Yeah. So were running out absolutely. Out of time. Yeah, absolutely. Of them have a faith a lot of them have a faith base well and but base as well to that. And but you obviously community you know, obviously Community Cohesion has been in this cohesion has been ruined in this country extent by country to a large extent by mass thats mass immigration. And thats another know, another factor. You know, when people communities people see their communities change mean, you change immensely. I mean, you talk live in east talk to people who live in east london, whove been there for 60 years have seen whole years or so, have seen the whole community completely being, you know, theres know, hollowed out. And theres nothing they knew nothing there of what they knew before. To have an before. Thats going to have an effect happiness. Effect on peoples happiness. Oh, well, how happy are you out there . I mean, gbviews gbnews. Com. Tell us how happy you are. Were not really that miserable, are we . Im trying to be happy. Its mothers day. Im dawn neesom.

Well, we are losing the art of conversation and caring, says linda. Not on gb news because we care and were having a conversation. So i think thats it. But to everyone out there, if you dont have a mum , then if you dont have a mum, then love and thoughts to you because its not easy missing a parent, is it . Any case, right . Today we are celebrating those of us that are celebrating those of us that are incredibly lucky to still have mums. Its a day you dedicate to motherhood. Maternal blonde a bonds even and the influence of mums in society. But what is the best way to show your appreciation . Many mums are beginning to steer away from the commercial nature of the day, with some going as far as to label it a bad. Now now my issue with mothers day is my mum hates pink right . My mum is called elsie and here she is and im so lucky she is still with me even though im not actually with for lunch. But my mum with her for lunch. But my mum hates right now. Dont hates pink right now. I dont know there , but know about you out there, but have to buy anything have you tried to buy anything for that isnt for mothers day that isnt bloody pink . I mean, what is this thing with pink and women . In any case . Benjamin, im going to come to you first on this one because you were basically brought up by your nan, werent you, because your family you, because of your family background. What do make background. So what do you make of and is it a bit of mothers day . And is it a bit too now as well . Too tacky . Now as well . I think it was an i think as a kid it was an awkward because you know, i think as a kid it was an adidntd because you know, i think as a kid it was an adidnt meet because you know, i think as a kid it was an adidnt meet myause you know, i think as a kid it was an adidnt meet my motherou know, i think as a kid it was an adidnt meet my mother untiliow, i didnt meet my mother until i was adult and my mum was was an adult and my mum was a drug addict. She was in and out of so i met her of prison. And so i met her actually at a Christmas Party in my mid twenties. That was the first time id ever seen her. And actually today. And it was always very odd because when you meet a parent in life that meet a parent in later life that they raise you, youre they didnt raise you, youre not how to deal with not quite sure how to deal with that relationship, its that relationship, whether its inauthentic. And today i sent her a mothers day present for the because shes the first time because shes been , though i hate to been poorly, though i hate to admit was flowers, admit that it was pink flowers, theyll be here. Theyll be there in about two hours. So shes watching surprises. Shes watching the surprises. Spoiler but you spoiler is over now. But you know think these things know what . I think these things as you know, someone just as someone just wrote in about how it can be awkward if you dont have a mum, but actually it doesnt to be commercial doesnt need to be commercial for spending for those that are spending it together. It should us. Together. It it should tell us. We discussing the we were discussing it with the miserable britain debate. It should us that should should tell us that we should spend our family, that spend time with our family, that we should around them, that we should be around them, that we should be around them, that we them. We should appreciate them. We lead busy lives, and lead such busy lives, and i think a lot of the stuff we feel our busy lives with is really not important doesnt not important and really doesnt need and need to be that busy and occasions like mothers day should reminder in this should be a reminder in this modern world to go and see your loved whoever they might modern world to go and see your low seriously vhoever they might modern world to go and see your lov i mean, like the lovely lorraine that got in touch. You dont have your around dont have your mum around anymore. So what do you make of mothers the way its celebrated . Well, look, its nice, but, you know, was just a small you know, it was just a small occasion. I used to just give my mother and a box of mother a card and a box of chocolates or something. She appreciated that. I mean, it doesnt be a big doesnt have to be a big festival. You know, i think that some to some people would like to commercialise it more, which i dont commercialise it more, which i dont idea commercialise it more, which i dont idea because dont like the idea of, because thats exploiting something. You know, it shouldnt be about how much money give, but it much money you give, but it should how much you should be about how much you love and your love that person and your relationship mother love that person and your relatioron. 3 mother love that person and your relatioron. Which, mother love that person and your relatioron. Which, of mother love that person and your relatioron. Which, of course,r and so on. Which, of course, changes years when changes over the years from when you were when youre you were a child to when youre an adult so on. But, you an adult and so on. But, you know, mean, nice to know, i mean, its nice to remember on remember your mother on that day. Give her something. But, you know, i hear some who you know, i hear some people who are saying, you are mothers saying, well, you know, having an know, rather than having an expensive something, expensive gift or something, theyd someone offered to theyd rather someone offered to help chores offered help with the chores or offered to dishes or something to do the dishes or Something Like to give them a break. Like that to give them a break. Sorry you have both been im sorry you have both been talking to my havent you . Talking to my mum, havent you . I is wrong, mum. What i mean, this is wrong, mum. What are so, i mean, what are you doing . So, i mean, what do should just do you think we should just concentrate on celebrating the love our family love we have for all our family members every single day, rather than special i mean, than these special days . I mean, about selling stuff, basically. Look, in an world, you look, in an ideal world, you would. Dont live in would. But we dont live in a society most of live society where most of us live near our parents or our near to our parents or our grandparents or our siblings. And so i think an occasion like this really special. And so i think an occasion like thisoh,eally special. And so i think an occasion like thisoh, well, special. And so i think an occasion like thisoh, well, look,1l. And so i think an occasion like thisoh, well, look, as said, oh, well, look, as i said, lorraine, thank you so much. Such an Important Message.
