Hello and welcome to headliners. Im Stephen Allen , headliners. Im Stephen Allen, taking you through tomorrows top stories for the next hour. Im joined by the face that launched a thousand ships. Cressida wetton and a face that sank a few vodkas. Bruce devlin , sank a few vodkas. Bruce devlin, its jen, is it jen. 7 yeah, i cant tell. It looks the same. It looks the same. Margin seems believable. I also hear thats what you actually did. As much as that was a joke. Last night was a big one, ive seen baker. I went home at sensible oclock and this one went out to have an altercation with a drag queen because he was giving unsolicited makeup advice. Unsolicited makeup advice. Thats true. Actually, yes, but no, it was. We were both in leeds for a gig, and actually it marks our First Anniversary of us being colleagues, playmates and husband and wife. Oh, congratulations. Congratulations. I have a lot in common. We do taste in men. Yes all right, lets crack on, then. Lets take a quick look at sundays front pages. We start with the mail on sunday. Just what the doctor ordered. Poll boost for charles. The sunday telegraph says labour wins in West Midlands and london. The observer goes with starmer beaten sunak should end purgatory of zombie rule. The express says were doomed lame duck pm loses tory stronghold. The sunday mirror says andrews ruin and the daily star sunday ghostly old bloke vanishes through brick wall. Probably finding a story about doors there. And those will be front pages. All right, lets find out more. Cressida, what are the observer leading with. 7 they are leading with starmer beaten. Sunak should end purgatory of zombie rule. Its calling him a zombie rule. Its calling him a zombie now. So because of. Well, because of the mayoral elections and the local elections , starmer and the local elections, starmer is saying, mate, come on, on your bike, its time to go. Sadiq khan saying the same thing. Our continuing mayor of london, whos whos done very well in the mayoral elections, theyre all saying, come on, this points to the fact that youre on your way out, mr sunak, which of course we know, when do you think he will call it the general election. It the general election. So he so far promised second half of this year. Right so not lasting all the way through to next january, which is an option okay. And were not were getting there arent we. I mean a couple of months. Well we are but i mean its i dont believe anything. I mean it could be then it might not be, its got to happen before it has got to happen. Its got to happen. Exactly it feels like were already talking about it all the time. So we wouldnt be talking about it if we just called the darn thing. No. What will we do, so, yeah, theyve done terribly. The yeah, theyve done terribly. The tories, theyve come third in most of most of the stuff that they could come anywhere in. And particularly in london. Theres a lot of talk about sadiq khans even saying now he might go into national politics. Or rather, hes not saying he wont, which is the same thing, isnt it. 7 yeah but hes, hes hes done very, very well. Hes got over about 1. 1 million votes, and thats fantastic. Its unprecedented. Its not what people expected, hall came in with about 800,000. So this there was a brief flash of, oh, other conservatives are going to get in. No, they absolutely arent. Arent. Bruce. Was that because of how popular sadiq khan is or how susan hall, who is the most common phrase people have said about him. 7 about him . Yes. I wasnt familiar with susan either, in all honesty, and theres a lot of susans on the internet at the moment, so you dont even know if shes a real person. However, he did win was over 250,000 votes over her. Yeah but the funny thing is, so many people love him and then so many people love him and then so many people love him and then so many people hate him. Im obviously im not in london all the time, so he doesnt really bother me, if you see what i mean. And i would stand and have a drink with him and all that kind of thing. You know, im not against, but, he does seem popular for the vast majority of people. Well, it wasnt a great turnout, so it is 44, but it never is. Well, no. Okay, so. Never is. Well, no. Okay, so. And i dont imagine that the police are thrilled. I mean , if police are thrilled. I mean, if i was a policeman, id be thinking, oh, no, ive got the same boss, yeah, i suppose. Yeah. Although how bad crime was on the London Underground that her oyster card was nicked, which doesnt even seem like bad crime, but then it turns out it just fell out of a pocket and they returned it. Do people still have oyster cards . Well, i just shoot with my phone. Well, thats. Thats why you might have stood a better chance of in of receiving more votes in londons elections. Londons mayoral elections. Thats very unfortunate, though, it . Because she though, isnt it . Because she was like crimes was right. Its not like crimes not a problem. Yeah, its just a really bad go to example of all the crime thats happening in london. I lost my oyster card was the worst one to pick. Yeah, exactly. With watch theft and knife crime and all this kind of stuff and a bit of plastic. And suddenly now shes screaming and. Yeah. And the other thing i did want to mention about this is that the labour has not had an absolute stonker in all directions. Its lost some of the votes in some Council Elections because of its stance on gaza. Yeah. And i do think its worth saying that if you are thinking i wont vote for labourin are thinking i wont vote for labour in like South Normanton council because its position on gaza might impact anything, i dont think netanyahus thinking, oh, theres a labour councillor somewhere in the middle part of that. England. What are they saying about it . Just seems the worst reason to not vote for a local council. Not vote for a local council. Well, its very important to the people. Its important to though, isnt it . So that a councillor cant impact anything . No, but its i mean, its an emotional thing, isnt it . Voting, no. Its fair. Yes, its a fair point, but but for the people, it matters to. I the people, it matters to. I mean, god sees you vote, doesnt he . I dont trust these emotions you speak of. Right. Whats on the front cover of the mail on sunday, bruce . Well, this is to do with king charles being back to, i think, almost full health. Hes recovering from the cancer, and people are delighted to see him out and about and all that kind of thing. And i think a lot of people have a lot of good feeling and a lot of faith in our current reigning monarch, we were discussing that earlier with nana and, and yeah, he seems he does. The majority of people seem to really, really like him. And its really interesting as well, because when he wasnt available, we had queen camilla, which is obviously a phrase that i dont think anyone would have thought we would have said 20 odd years ago or whatever. And i think it is brilliant, whether youre a monarchist or not, that hes brought so much attention to male cancer. Not that anyone is more important than others, but as i said earlier, with regard to guys going and getting themselves checked or going to themselves checked or going to the doctor and all that kind of stuff, i think hes done a really great pr job. Yeah. And i mean, your take on this as well, he certainly seems to have people behind him, even if theyre not particularly monarchists. Everyone, everyone roots for the guy. You think its him that theyre into. I think with this story that hes won people over, i suppose so. 50. So. I mean , i still hear the i mean, i still hear the queen and go, what . I thought shed died. Oh, you mean her . You mean her . Its going to take me a long time to get over that, i dont know. I dont think hes especially charismatic. Hes not our sexiest royal, is he, are any of them . Well no, i say that. Well, no. All right. I say that. Well, no. All right. Fair point. All right. Do you know i do like her mother. Ive met her. Ive said that before on this channel. Ive met Princess Anne a couple of times. She is good fun. Im not necessarily sure shes sexy, but shes good fun. No, i can still feel the vibrations of that name dropping and hitting the floor. Oh, hes met a royal. Oh, we got that. We felt it. Felt it. Good for charles is what i think. Yeah. Continue to cover it. Its not something im very passionate about myself. He wouldnt be my first. I think kates far more interesting. Far kates far more interesting. Far more fun. Like her outfits. Yeah. Okay well, nice. Charlotte, to the cover of the sunday mirror, please. Cressida, what have you got for us . Weve got andrews ruin so prince could be evicted over the crumbling state of royal lodge. And theres a picture here with all the shabby chic paintwork. I mean, if it was in, i dont know, the south of france or tuscany or something, it would be cool, wouldnt it . Itd be kind of like ageing gracefully. But its not. Its here. Its just the rain and the frost. And hes not taking care of it. So what does this mean . Is he depressed . I mean, hes got all the reasons to be. Its a bit painful to me as somebody trying to buy my first home, i think. Come on, look after it. Look after it. Are you looking to get a mortgage on a crumbling cottage . I wouldnt say no to anything right now, bruce. Okay. Thats fine. We have until 12, isnt it . Something like a 30 room mansion . Mansion . Yeah. No, its a big yes. Yeah. No, its a big yes. Well, the little. Yes. Theyre showing you the crumbling corner here. And then they gave you the overview there and its. So you try doing the upkeep on it because i know youve not bought your place yet, but a two bedroom place is absolutely non stop. Well 30 bedroom. Youre talking to somebody that has painted a whole narrowboat several years running. But no, youre right, its a lot. Its clearly a lot to wide boat. And then come back. It feels like you pick the easier boat to paint. Oh god. Of all the books. Oh yeah. It is a bit of a slap in the face, i suppose that, you know, you, the royals can manage to fail into luxury. To fail into luxury. What do you mean . What do you mean . Well, hes not top of his game at being a royal, but still managed to get a 30. Hes not only top of his game at being a human being. Yeah. Yeah. And still gets a 30 bedroom mansion. Exactly. Thats the thing. And i remember in a french and saunders sketch they said they cannot forgive. Is it sonning fork or Something Like that . The folly that is south park, the attributed to the dallas mansion and all that kind of stuff. Because that was a gift from the queen for him and yorkie fergie. Queen for him and yorkie fergie. Fergie. Fergie. Yeah. No, i dont have the same royal connections as you. Yeah, i met her twice. Yeah, i met her twice. Relax. Relax. Oh, now its twice. Is it . Oh, now its twice. Is it . Look at another third, finally, bruce, the cover of the daily star sunday, please. Yes, i this is pop star gary numan , who was famous for being numan, who was famous for being in his car at some point and said he was on the tube and a 1940s, bloke, came through a wall. Im not a euphemism. It was more of an apparition, that kind of thing, but then it does make you think if youre seeing things on the tube had you been out the night before . Yeah. And hes a musician , so yeah. And hes a musician, so we shouldnt trust anything any of them say, because theyve all been doing it. Thats right. We know what theyre like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, im just saying im going to eat. One point of data would be listen to anything that the beatles came up with, and you wouldnt let them drive so well. Theres that. Theres that. Theres that. Yeah. Musicians. Yeah. Musicians. Im fascinated that gary numan is getting on the tube because he should be in his car. This is against the brand. This is against the brand. But then maybe thats to do with the ulez stuff to do with sadiq and all that kind of thing. So thats maybe brought it back to that. I dont know, very nice loops back perfectly. Well, thats the front pages deau well, thats the front pages dealt with. But coming up, if you dont know, the winner of the london mayoral election, im sure that will be mentioned again at some stage. Looks like someone else could be making their way back into politics, saying that its the end for next. Welcome back to headliners. Im Stephen Allen, here with chris de wet and bruce devlin. Bruce the express nigel farage says reform could take the conservative vote. Just the one that well get, but still just just the whole one. Its quite a bold claim. Yes, he was saying reform uk, uk could take almost a whole conservative vote, whether thats 100,000 at the next general election, according to mr farage. He told this very channel he could not rule out an unprecedented swing from the tories to reform. What do we think . I dont think its likely this time around. I dont think hes got much time. But in the future. Yeah, definitely. I mean farage has got previous on this. Farage has got previous on this. Hes a very influential gentleman. You know, one of the most impactful politicians, even without winning an election to do it, other than the european stuff. Well, he exactly he certainly is. I think there was a thing, the story thats really interesting. Hes getting across the message. Its not like the conservatives will win anyway. So feel free to vote for reform. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Because i think there is that worry. And its a very good point that reform will be pulling votes away from the conservatives. But hes saying like well go on, go for it. Theyre going to lose anyway. But then what happened to him in ukip that just seems to have died down. Its like, you know what happened. I dont know if youre familiar with brexit, but the result was what nigel wanted. Yeah. No, i know some stuff. Thank you. Then fine. Other stuff. Blah blah blah. And then were here blah blah. And then were here today, right . Okay. Okay. But youre right. Thats exactly what i think. Thats what hes saying. And also hes i mean, hes making this ridiculous. Sorry, nigel. I think its ridiculous. The way politics is changing so quickly. I wouldnt rule it out. I would i wouldnt rule it out. I would rule it out that this is going to be the one. But in the future , who knows . So do you think this is a bit like people are an electric cars . Theyre like, ive got one more combustible engine in me before the infrastructure is up to speed, and then im going to vote reform i think you just said that we didnt have enough green stuff, so i thought id pull that out. Maybe. Maybe. I remember hes been saying for ages, its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. So this impression. So this impression. Well, ive heard him a lot, so thats what i think. Hes. I think hes saying what youre saying. Yes go for it, because youre not going to do any damage, but also in the future. Ill be back. Its not just about not doing any damage. Its about actually doing damage. But to your team as well. Yes. Yeah, exactly what we need is to try and get rid of the tories. I didnt try to go. You did it. Im trying to copy yours in the middle and down at the end. What . I didnt understand in this whole thing that i read was Lorraine Kelly jokes about ben shepherds naughty bits. That is poor editing, right . That is poor editing, right . Okay. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. That really threw me. And i had to reread that a couple of times and i thought, i, you know, i like lorraine. Im sure shes not focused on that kind of thing, actually, where they got the title reform from is it changes. Well, but anyway, cressida to the observer, Asylum Seekers fear being sent to rwanda because its unsafe, not the country, but flying there on a boeing plane. They hear a bang at the door andifs they hear a bang at the door and its the home office. Threat of being disappeared haunts Asylum Seekers amid rwanda crackdown. Now that phrase disappeared. Thats not i mean disappeared. Thats not i mean this is the observer. So its sort of thats the tone you would expect. But to me, being disappeared means youre in argentina and you get thrown out of a plane, drugged at night, never to be seen again. And thats as unsafe as some people think rwanda is. That is not whats going to happen to these people. So really, this is an article, its kind of like the story we did recently about the bus not being able to leave peckham with the Asylum Seekers on it, but its like, told from the other side. So its almost the other side. So its almost like the way they do a drama and sort of flip it. And now youre coming from the other side of them. We did the other day where we just covered what happened in terms of protesters stopping, this was the bus going to the bp barge, yes. Yeah, exactly, but barge, yes. Yeah, exactly, but this is also covering more generally what happens to Asylum Seekers. So what the article is saying is that its describing the experience of somebody, if youre an asylum seeker, youve got to regularly check in with the home office to get your, to show that youre legit. And so show that youre legit. And so they know where you are and to get your Financial Support and so on. And this paper, article is arguing that people wont do that if they are worried that when they go in, some people have been arrested, theyve gone in for their appointment and theyve been stopped, and not released because they are somebody that that the authorities would like to send to rwanda. Right. But thats kind of inevitable, isnt it . Am i being heartless . I being heartless . I mean, well, maybe, but i suppose the counter would be that this might make another problem happen. It might make a worse problem that then all of a sudden youll have far fewer people on the books , more people people on the books, more people in the country you dont know about, which then starts to impact the black economy because they cant afford to work and they cant afford to work and they need money. They dont get they need money. They dont get the money from the state. But then the whole point of this rwanda thing is, to some people is that its preventative. So if the message eventually gets back that youre if you come here, you might get sent to rwanda, you might end up living. They talk about people going to sleep in parks and just not turning up for their appointments, trying to avoid the system altogether. Neither of those are. You get to come to britain and live comfortably, so it still has a preventative. It still has a preventative. Am i right in thinking that only one person has voluntarily opted to go to rwanda so far . Yeah. Right. Okay. And they got three grand for it as well, which more than covers their flight home. So. So. So. So. So what i was gonna say was because its a bit like you know, when you hear about celebrities and a private jet on, on standby, these people arent going on a specific. Its arent going on a specific. Its not, you know, rishi rwanda express , if you see what i mean. Express, if you see what i mean. Theyre just going on a common or garden plane with their £3,000 and going, no, no, actually it will be the volunteer one. I dont know. Thats a very good point. I imagine not, i dont think theres a lot of tui flights going now. I assumed that hed be in ehhen i assumed that hed be in either. Hed be either in prison or some kind of tag system. I just assumed hed be sort of pending going. I didnt think they would just send one. You assumed that someone that volunteered to go would be in prison. Well, or monitored in some way. I thought that they wouldnt. I assume that would be the case. They sort of pending ready to go. Theyve agreed to go. Not prison, but just, not a person of interest , at prison, but just, not a person of interest, at least on their books. On their books. On their books. Thats a better way of putting it. Yeah, exactly. On the radar. On the radar. The idea that they dont like they fear a knock at the door. We all fear a knock at the door these days. Its always everyone does charity. You dont want anyone coming round at your house. Send a text. Send a text. But also, what really winds me up is that nobody thinks that the people doing their job the people doing theirjob should be. Clearly, theres people making these decisions who i assume know more than me. And then protesters are coming along and saying, no, were going to interfere with that. Yeah, this whole story boils down to whether you think the person being detained is the victim or the person breaking a rule, and which is the bigger thing to you. But thats the way this that story goes. Bruce, the sunday times, yes, a special report on the worst prison in the world. And its not marriage. No, its not, and its not cornton vale, the womens prison in scotland, either. No, cornton vale, the womens prison in scotland, either. No, this is for jihadists. Now. I dont know forjihadists. Now. I dont know how to pronounce it. How do you pronounce the prison . I think its hasakah. Hasakah so this is crammed. Theres 100 its hasakah. Hasakah so this is crammed. Theres100 men in a room. Clearly, for me. Not room. Clearly, for me. Not a problem. However, these people are blindfolded. They are bound by their feet and all this kind of stuff. Theres like no daylight. Theyre in corridors. Daylight. Theyre in corridors. Well, its like being in a corridor with no window or whatever. I mean, it sounds utterly inhumane. I think it is. Ive been watching some footage of these places and its horrific. Its as my dad would say, its a dogs breakfast now, because what do you do with these people . Lots of the. Well, theyre all, members of isis or previous jihadists or current. Thats the problem, isnt it . You dont know these people, and theyre not going to go in there and calm down, are they . Theyre not going to think, oh, this is fun. Ill tell you what, ive decided im not into jihadism anymore. Theyre going to get more radicalised. Its hideous. And so then what do you eventually do with them . So currently the syrian governments responsible for paying governments responsible for paying for these people. And the syrians want out the countries, who own these people. They want who own these people. They want these people to be repatriated to their own countries. But to their own countries. But then, of course, if they come here, what do we do with them . Its a Shamima Begum thing en masse. Well, is there not one londoner, two londoners, thats in . So yes. But lots of people who are trapped in camps in syria belong to france and australia, and all of the radicalised people whove gone there and the syrian authorities now in charge of looking after the i say, looking after. I mean, its clearly hell on earth. Its just hideous. And then, of course, when you interview these people, they always say, i wish id never done it, i regret it, im full of remorse. Well, of course they of remorse. Well, of course they say that. And its interesting that the article says about effectively their one prison break away from just recruiting an army because they could all just head out of this prison and theyre back in the game. Its not often i agree with Jacob Rees Mogg in many things in life, but he he has the position that repatriation is the right thing to do because a country has to put on its big boy pants and just be responsible for its citizens and deal with them appropriately when they come back, whatever they may be from. If you think that had happened. Yeah cressida, the i news Boris Johnson forgot his id to vote when he was the one who brought that law in. Next, youll be telling me he claims he didnt know the lockdown rules that he announced. Whats rules that he announced. Whats that . Theyre telling me . Oh, god. Very nice. Boris johnson very nice. Boris johnson tried to use a magazine as id to vote in local election. You couldnt make it up. Well, you couldnt make it up. Well, you could though, couldnt you . It feels like a stunt , so former feels like a stunt, so former Prime Minister boris was told by locals that a periodical magazine was not a valid form of id hahaha. So he went to vote and he turned up with a magazine that had, i think it was like an address label because it had been posted to him and he said, well, this is my poster, i must be able to. And of course they sent him away and hes now praised them and said, well done them. They did exactly the right thing. They didnt put up with my nonsense. What was it you said, congratulations to the three villagers that upheld the forever, which i thought was. But the funny thing was, i remember in scotland when our outgoing first minister, humza yousaf, was transport minister, he was pulled over by the police and it was found he didnt have insurance. So i understand that there can be anomalies in the Decision Making process. Did we find out what magazine it was . Prospect magazine right . Yeah, which i think ive not read it. I imagine its just about where to find rivers that have got a bit of gold in them. Thats thats probably not actually. Now i think about it. Why would he have been on that phrase my mother uses for potential suitors . Is he a prospect , potential suitors . Is he a prospect, you didnt need to know that to do with. How is he in the magazine . How is he in the magazine . Thats how it works. All right, well, thats it for this part. But coming up, kim jong uns pop career as a pun. But unless you see it written down, you dont get it. And French Schools are next. Welcome back to headliners. Bruce the mail on sunday. Theres a song about kim jong un has gone viral. Theres a song about kim jong un has gone viral. But then again, has gone viral. But then again, if you dont click like, he will have you killed. Well , there is that. Well, there is that. Well, there is that. However, its not him putting out a song. Hes not into k pop or anything like that. Its a song thats friendly. Father becomes a huge online hit as gen zers dance and sing along. Now i can never remember what a gen z person is. I dont know how old they are, and i dont think tiktok is necessarily aimed at me. I dont understand whats about. Are you tiktokers . Absolutely not. I mean, ive got it, but i dont. Yeah, no, it doesnt have any power over me. I dont get it. And im not necessarily sure this is doing him any good or whatever. Are you tiktok . No, i was just going to say i think its like 26 down to 14 ish for gen z is 26 up to 43. So whats a millennial . So whats a millennial . Yeah, up to 43 ish. Right. Something like that. So Something Like that. So a newspaper still say millennial like theyre young. Youre like , like theyre young. Youre like, youre brushing up against a midlife crisis. Midlife crisis. Yes. Yes. A 32 year old told me he was young once and i went, sorry , young once and i went, sorry, youre younger than me, but youre younger than me, but youre not young. Yeah. So stop building up your part. Stop dancing to tiktok videos. Stop dancing to tiktoks. Stop dancing to tiktoks. I think this is really. Im angry with the gen z. Are you . Yes, i am, because its not. Its not the north korean gen zs. And this isnt k pop. This zs. And this isnt k pop. This is north korean state sanctioned propaganda nonsense, in my opinion. And all the people saying, oh my god, man, wait, this slaps, which i think means this slaps, which i think means this is jolly good, isnt it . Thats slap. Yes, thats what the western tiktok is saying. This is sick. The western tiktok is saying. This is sick. Yes, exactly, this is sick. Yes, exactly, exactly. But it doesnt slap. Its absolutely hideous. And as steve said, anyone thats not enjoying it over there will probably be having a short, sharp stay in a north korean prison and i just think its vile. And i think everyone should listen to umany park on this stuff. Shed probably have something to say about it. I thought she did a better song. I thought she did a better song. I thought thats the way song. I thought thats the way that was going to go. Have you listened to the song though . Yes he slaps a bit. Look oh my goodness, it slaps bit. This is the worst pain from the app. No, this is where i draw the line. Picasso. Yes, this absolutely not. But apparently incredibly popular along the lines of viral hits for taylor swift and harry styles. So up there, probably at the met gala on monday, taylor swift has an outlawed trade. In fact, shes encouraged it. In fact, shes encouraged it. In fact, shes encouraged it. She pays her drivers a bonus. She pays her drivers a bonus. She pays her drivers a bonus. I quite like her, actually. I quite like her, actually. Kim jong un doesnt do that. No if anything, shes shes the anti kim jong un i agree. Yeah, shes the anti hero. Thats one of her songs, cressida to the sunday times. Theres a story about getting kids off their phones. Ive already cracked it. I managed to get my son off his mobile phone. Get my son off his mobile phone. I bought him an ipad, brilliant. I bought him an ipad, brilliant. The French School thats cracked. Getting kids off their phones , so this french teacher phones, so this french teacher has come up with a plan, and now how he gets them to agree to this. This could be kim jong un. Hes forcing it on them, on monday mornings, the pupils are required to hand over their phones so that zapolya, as his name , can record on his excel name, can record on his excel spreadsheet how many hours they spend , on the phone during the spend, on the phone during the previous week. And if they spend under four hours, thats fine. They can go free if they spend over four hours to get an hours detention, over six hours to and over eight hours , three hours over eight hours, three hours detention on, so theyre trying to do the right thing. Theyre trying to encourage kids to get off their phones. But like any addiction, you need to replace it with something , dont you . It with something, dont you . You cant just you cant just punish no. Punish no. Well, thats true, actually, because if you give up the gin, a lot of people take up the jesus. So you are replacing. But my point would be, i think if you are an addict, as opposed to replacing it with someone, you should learn to live without it. I think. No should learn to live without it. Ithink. No i should learn to live without it. I think. No i think we could get an implement. We could start a spreadsheet like this with your gin intake and see how. Sorry. Okay i think its good. Well, brilliant. Well, brilliant. Boiled it down there. The surely these kids, unless theyre stupid kids, will get a burner phone, and then when they are, they in government . Yeah. Yeah. Everyones got a burner phone, arent they . Everyone you phone, arent they . Everyone you need to. You need, you know, side phone, and you just show that one look. Oh, look, i did like, three minutes on the internet. And then when youre internet. And then when youre in detention, just get the old other one out. Very good. Very cynical. Very good. Very cynical. Very good. Very cynical. But the burner phone probably wouldnt have the things that you want on it. Like. But you hand in the burner phone, sorry. I genius. Yeah. Or should i say tribbiani . Oh , you see, i dont know oh, you see, i dont know what that means because we didnt Pay Attention at school. I was on my phone, obviously. Why are you online . Yeah. Were you on your 02 . Yeah. Were you on your 02 . Pay as you go, £0. 33 a minute. Btselem out. What about then when you really had to think about sending a text . Because that was some hefty dosh. Oh, how much was it . Oh, how much was it . £10. £10. Oh dodi £0. 25. My first trip. No this is why i dont get these people who send multiple. Oh, no , the whole point of text messages. Keep it short and stop pressing send after every sentence. See, theres one thing i like is a voice note. Is a voice note. As you know, you do. You send a voice note . No. The problem with his voice notes is you have to be in a safe place, a safe, quiet, private space before you listen to it. To it. Lets move on to the observer. Bruce and school say that the ofsted system isnt fair because it reduces all of that effort down to a simple grade. Yeah, that must suck, says everyone whos done a gcse. Well, exactly. Well, exactly. So this is to do with the head teachers complaining about ofsted. But there was a couple of things when i was at school, which was continuous assessment showing your working and this just go with me on this. Its the same with the finale of drag race, right . A contestant can consistently perform very, very well again. Tribbiani and its all down to the final lip sync. So this is similarly. This is why this story spoke to me, because its like its only done on one thing and not the continuous basement. Then whats the point . Because not everyone performs well under , assessment performs well under, assessment situations. Took me three attempts to pass my driving test, took me five. Somebody else said that to me recently because i was complaining. Say, well, why do they need these ratings . Cant they need these ratings . Cant they just go and find out about they just go and find out about the school . But apparently the what was so awful for the woman that , killed herself was that that, killed herself was that they went from quite a high rating to, i forget what the words were to, outstanding to inadequate. Right. Right. Right. Outstanding to inadequate in one move, which is what. Yeah, thats your analogy. Yeah. Because ive always been a bit resistant to this story , but it resistant to this story, but it shouldnt it be child focused rather than teacher focused but ive been corrected many times how. Now. Yeah , i suppose its got to yeah, i suppose its got to be a bit of both, hasnt it . But yes , it is also true and not yes, it is also true and not wishing to seem too insensitive. But no, you need to be able to do a job where if you fail at that job, its not potentially life threatening. Well thats great, you know, i dont know the woman, obviously, but its a fairly extreme. Yeah, i think anyway. Extreme. Yeah, i think anyway. And im not judging. Im just saying in general that. Yeah. Yeah. But then the flip side is it also does seem weird that all of the different intricacies of a school are boiled down to one word. Its the same as a hygiene rating and a kebab shop. You just get the between 1 and 5. I walk past a place a while ago that put a two in the window. Did you go in . Did you go in . No, because i didnt want to get all the diseases. But still, its a brave move. Are you never tempted . There was a thing in the edinburgh evening news, and it was all the bad ratings of places, and i just wanted to go and try them, but no one would go with me. I wonder why that is. I wonder why that is. I wonder why that is. I thought it would be funny. Yeah, because im kind of sterile anyway, so i wasnt. No, i dont mean like that , but just. I wonder why you moved us off a story about kids onto food. Its the sterility. Sorry. You know, fair enough. Sorry. You know, fair enough. Cressida. The metro, the legacy of Margaret Thatcher is almost like royalty in that she did some stuff that upset some miners. Well , miners. Well, women still waiting for political equality. Political equality. 45 years after Margaret Thatcher made history , are we . I thatcher made history, are we . I voted yesterday, you know , im voted yesterday, you know, im going to say about this, theyre banging on about all her amazing contributions. And yet and yet women is still underrepresented in parliament. Why is it still so unequal . In parliament. Why is it still so unequal . And its Something Like a third of people. So like a third of people. So theres currently 226 mps. 35 sorry female mps, which is only 35 of the total and far off equal representation for men and women. But the problem is , on women. But the problem is, on average, women probably dont want to be politicians. And i want to be politicians. And i say that as somebody that works with men who are very competitive and all think they know best, and i think im an outlier for wanting to do that. So i dont know. I mean, this is just the usual thing, isnt it . Everyones obsessed with representation, and i think we should have equality of opportunity but not engineer the, equality of outcome is my personal view. Personal view. Who are the men youre talking about . Talking about . Because i feel i recognise some of them, even just by that glib statement. Well, im just saying all things arent for everybody, are they . No. Thats true, and i dont agree with the premise because nobodys asking for more female bricklayers. And so on. You know, i suppose the question would be like the job of bricklayers is to lay bricks. The job of parliament is to represent the people. So the function of the house is different to bricklayers. Yeah, are you a bit. Yeah, are you a bit. Yeah. I mean, the question then comes down to you have to presume that a man cant represent a woman, and a woman cant represent a man. Exactly. And my heroes dont need to be female. Thats just not the i cant go and dont enjoy William Shakespeare because, you know, he had a willy. Its just not. I dont think like that. I think we do have to remember that those in parliament are laying the bricks for society. For society. Thats deep. Thats deep. Thats deep. Thats why you get big money. Thats why you get big money. I dont understand what it means, but its definitely a thing, bruce, to the observer, are the garrick club could start letting women in, but they already get into loads of night clubs for free. When blokes have to pay, what more do they want . Well, what goes on in the scarlet club . So its a man only club of which ive been in many, some good, some not so much. And theyre taking another vote as to whether women should come in. Why do women want to go in . If you see what i mean . It sounds so dull. I would have thought that a self respecting woman would have liked to be out somewhere having a laugh. Not in somewhere having a laugh. Not in some tweedy old club room that probably stinks of flatulence and beer and competitiveness and people that cant lay bricks. Well i think it does stink of competitiveness. Ive been corrected on this one as well, as i started defending male spaces , but defending male spaces, but apparently this is where all the business gets done. Yeah, the business of what . Yeah, the business of what . Well, lots of good. I mean, youre talking to me. What do i know about private business or pubuc know about private business or public business . I would be the wrong person to ask about that. But i think the point is that there are some women who are movers and shakers who would like to be in here, and this is somewhere where they are being prevented from going. However i, you know, you still i still find this a hard one to argue, given how much we hear about protecting womens spaces. I mean, go and set up your own. I suppose they cant do that. Yeah, well, there are also female networking clubs, and i do the same thing with. I have to realise this isnt like the mens group for suicidal men. This is posh people with way more power and opportunities than i have have like, yeah, they can do the vote and let women in. I aint going to get in. I cant get in at the moment. They wouldnt let someone like me. Im fairly although i think the garrick club originally started out for artists and actors, but they realised theyre poor, so they really went for the lawyer angle. So they were the original soho house . Yeah. For creatives. Yeah. For creatives. Yeah. For creatives. I have a friend whos an actor who, who has been or is involved in the garrick club, and he said, actually, its full of women anyway, because its not exactly so in the beginning , not exactly so in the beginning, i was picturing what youve just described, the flatulence and it only being men. And he said, well, no, actually, when you go in there, theres lots of female guests. Yes. Right, so i dont know if thats an argument for or against because his point is, well, theres women in there anyway, so its quite irritating that a woman has to befriend a male member to get in there. So im very on the fence about this. Fair enough. Thats it for part three. But coming up in the final section, doctor google some bum info and big brother is watching. But we are grateful for the viewing welcome back to headliners cresta. We go to the star on sunday. And we live in the most surveilled nation. You telling me . I think there are some cameras in this room. We live in the worlds most surveilled nation. Crimes will soon be impossible. Whats good soon be impossible. Whats good news, isnt it . Is it . No. So an ex a top ex copper as his former detective superintendent david swindle. Brilliant, he has revealed how tech is changing the way Police Investigate serious crimes. He did start in the 70s, this guy. So hes had a broad, run of things, and hes pointing out that everywhere you 90, pointing out that everywhere you go, you leave a kind of a paper trail or a video trail. And so its going to get harder and harder to do things like murder people. So, and i think were supposed to feel comforted by this, but of course, its also orwellian, do you feel safer with al . Well, maybe this isnt relevant, local supermarket, which i wont name near to me in edinburgh. Someone died in the disabled toilet and wasnt found until the next morning. So where was the cameras . Clearly, i dont think theyre going to put cameras in theyre going to put cameras in the toilets. No, no, no, but i just mean in general. Then if someone was looking at the footage of the shop, if you see what i mean. So whether they put loads of cameras, surely its to do with the vigilance of those monitoring. But im not necessarily sure. A couple of cameras are going to prevent murder. Well, no , youre right, they well, no, youre right, they wont. They wont prevent it really. But they might make it easier to solve. Well, i mean, thats the thing. So the cameras dont thing. So the cameras dont prevent crime. They record it. So you can still do it. And also then you need the police to follow up. And we get so many stories of people who say like, oh my, whatever was nicked. And theres the, you know, bike was nicked. The cctv from the train station , the police arent interested. But the thing is as well, with the cctv from the street and i know from being in an incident, i wont go into the footage isnt necessarily of great quality. So you cant use that. Its inadmissible evidence or Something Like that because you get into an altercation with a man who went into the disabled toilet in tesco. No, and it was toilet in tesco. No, and it was morrisons. And what had happened to me was i was on a bus about 20 years ago. Someone started pinging my head. I said, 20 years ago. Someone started pinging my head. I said, could pinging my head. I said, could you stop that . And then nine guys jumped on me. So they couldnt use the footage because they chased me out. And thats why ive got a metal plate in my jaw. Honestly, none of this is a lie, by the way. Google it. But the fact of the matter is, they couldnt use the stuff from the street because it was grainy and it was inadmissible, but yeah, it was inadmissible, but yeah, it was inadmissible, but yeah, it was morrisons and not tescos. Sorry, i knew i should have done. I sorry, i knew i should have done. I know other than that i was absolutely on the money, but the orwellian side of it does make you think like, yeah, they could stop crime, but it wont stop crime. But i bet you itll work out if you drive into a box junction. Yeah, exactly. The eye or hook that up. Yeah. Lets see. Yeah well, that cheered it up, isnt it, bruce . The mail on sunday claims that your gp might be googling you. I mean, i doubt it because he wont even let me have an appointment with him. Well, the funny thing was, i did go to my gp the other day because i wont go into it. Will. Ive got ive got two things you wont go into out of you so far. Ill definitely get this one. I genuinely thought i was going to die on wednesday, going into thursday, because i was convinced that i had something wrong with my back. I didnt know if it was cancer and all this kind of stuff, and i went and what he said was mr devlin. And i said, could you just call me bruce . Because mr devlin makes me sound old . He went, you have to stop googling. He said, you have to stop self diagnosis. Weve been over this. He went, you mustnt talk about your mother anymore. And she mustnt google. And she mustnt google. And she mustnt google. So if he is googling me, fine, i dont. Hes a nice man. I dont think thats. No, i think only you and lewis schaffer. Sorry. I said i wouldnt talk about him tonight, the only people who wouldnt mind this. I dont want my doctor googling me. This is an unbelievable invasion of privacy. Why . I cant believe i have to explain this. Are you going to explain this. Are you going to go in and go. Oh, hi. Can i get a script for ben and steve . Hopefully. And hes going to go, oh, ive read this about you. You were in wakefield last night. Well, they the example that it starts with is that you might tell your doctor youve stopped drinking, and then you might go out and put pictures of yourself drinking on social media. Dont do it then. Dont do it then. No, no, because thats not the society we want to live in, after all, is private. Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh yes. Exactly. Exactly. There you go. There you go. Theres your new slogan after all, is private. It should be. It should be steve. It should be steve. You dont want your doctor googung you dont want your doctor googling you everything theyd find. I want anyone googling me. Lets be honest, its been so long since google even thought, oh, hang on, hes a comedian, everything theyd find on googles public info , its not googles public info, its not like theyre prying. Theyre just doing research. Just doing research. Do you honestly think a doctor with their case loads and people screaming and all this kind of stuff, and i bet the receptionists are googling the patients. I bet the receptionist are that high on ryvita and theyre going to high. Go away. Go away. Go away. All right, crestor to the metro. And good news if youre sitting there watching this on your fifth bottle, self medicating really works. Self medicating really works. I was angry, aggressive, and in chronic pain. Then i, Emily Thornberry , i jest, i was angry , thornberry, i jest, i was angry, aggressive and in chronic pain. Then a party drug changed everything. So adam reuter, has hes had anxiety for a long, long time. And hes a very straight laced man. Hes not interested in drugs, party or otherwise, but eventually, after having all this anxiety and depression, i should say hes beenin depression, i should say hes been in the military, had a terrible spinal injury. So, you know, hes got hes got justification. If you like. Anyway, thats not the point, he eventually had a physician. Sorry. A psychiatrist suggested ketamine therapy. Now, this was anidea ketamine therapy. Now, this was an idea that adam did not like because hes not a good time girl. Hes a straight laced guy. But they convinced him to do it. And so he has to go to this place and lie down and take some ketamine. And over a two hour period, his guide, you get a guide , asked him to set an guide, asked him to set an intention for the first session. His intention was to not feel miserable all the time, which is a big go on. No, no, no, no, its a big, big goal, isnt it . For the first, basically, i want to be cured anyway. Turns out, it was really good for him and it had lasting effects. And this is the interesting thing. Professor david nutt, who is the ex drugs tsar, got fired for telling the truth about drugs, he wants he didnt get fired for taking them. Thats. No, thats not what he got. No, i dont know what he doesin he got. No, i dont know what he does in his own time, but the point is, there are these huge therapeutic benefits , and. Therapeutic benefits, and. But thats the same with ayahuasca. So i told you about that thing, ken, that ive been watching, which is very good, by the way. And it was a woman that had a, she had an incurable cancer , and she went and took cancer, and she went and took ayahuasca. And theres questions to be asked and theres guys who that all sounds very similar. Well, there you go. Well, there you go. Theres lots of people in the ketamine thing is like series two of house at the end of the series finale. So its with ketamine. Not for horses, yeah. They feel great on it quickly. Weve got less than a minute to do this one, bruce. The sun on sunday. I dont want to miss it. No, i know, so theres a doctor thats been looking into bottoms.
