So its that great battle thats emerging , the economy thats emerging, the economy versus the earth. Simon well, i mean, im on the economy side personally, although the way you frame it makes that sound like a bit. Bit. Well, we have to now, dont we. 7 you well, we have to now, dont we . You have to choose a side. I mean, i suppose one thing that will occur to people, if it was possible hit zero by 2050 possible to hit net zero by 2050 anyway, were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antryny, were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and it . E we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and it . E w hes to the hes trying to win over the people they did in uxbridge people like they did in uxbridge that ulez , you know, that are against ulez, you know, Small Businesses and the countrys Top University after all. Well, should know. Yes. Yes. I do think there is a theres a kind of there is obviously, as we always know in politics, there is this kind of like between economy and the between the economy and the earth. Winning earth. Its between winning the next and all next election, isnt it . And all of the term views. But of the longer term views. But there is definitely also a sense that nobody quite prepared that nobody was quite prepared for of pain that this for the amount of pain that this was create. And we was going to create. And we havent created the infrastructure yet. Infrastructure for it yet. Well, according what well, according to what i have heard, that the car have heard, is that the car manufacturers, especially in america , they want to go to net america, they want to go to net zero because theyve been retraining their whole retooling and for them to say were not going to do it now is like not just for that reason, but also, as im sure you youll be youll agree because its more profitable, agree because its more profitabliare. They get to sell they are. They get to sell new cars. I mean, they have this whole you they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe you they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand exactly zy they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand exactly the 1ey love the idea. And exactly the same brutally honest same way, to be brutally honest , that the british airports did quite nicely out of 911 because as by, you know, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new security measures, brutalising people, psychologically creating the necessity for an hour and a half , sitting around in a departure lounge before the flight leaves, they sell you know, the most profitable part, all of these things that they try and pretend are of great, you are like some kind of great, you know, moral crusade. You know, they can a of money out they can make a lot of money out of they will new cars, you of they will sell new cars, you know , they would much rather you know, they would much rather you bought three bought a new car every three years. Are. Years. They are. I mean, it should a i mean, it should not be a surprise we are surprise to anyone that we are ill to prepared any ill to prepared achieve any of this were all prepared this by 2030. Were all prepared to by 2050. And its to achieve it by 2050. And its just its just striving for an ideology. But it doesnt take ideology. But it doesnt take into account any compromise whatsoever. And it just cant be done. You cant just cut over. You cant i mean, everyones got their anecdotal got their own anecdotal experience. In brighton. Experience. I live in brighton. I like to have an i would quite like to have an electric everything was electric car if everything was to into place, i wouldnt to fall into place, i wouldnt have problem at all. Have a problem with that at all. I onesi as i quite like the ones i get as taxis on. Know , taxis and so on. You know, theres one car in 50 could get charged up in brighton at a time. Nobody has driveways. These are victorian houses , these are victorian houses, george and some of them, you know, apartment buildings where are charge their are people going to charge their cars . Facility for cars . There is no facility for it, right . Putting and its and its putting and its putting the electric generation somewhere the greatest somewhere else. The greatest thing in the history of the world has been of fossil world has been the use of fossil fuel. Warm an fuel. Its made people warm an and not hungry. Absolutely. Let there be absolutely. Let there be light. Yeah hayhoe moving on to the eye news. Louis this storm is set to reject eu eus new master plan. And i you know what . Its a bit complicated. Its basically the french and the germans are saying we dont like it with other people being involved. I think when they when they first started the eu, it was the french idea. We will control, well have like an america of europe and then the germans said, okay, let us in. We dont care. Well let you do care. Well let you do everything. We just want to have friends. After world war, friends. Yeah, after world war, certainly the french, the french enjoyed agricultural supremacy. Enjoyed agricultural supremacy. The germans were forced to sort of share their coal and iron a little and, know iron a little bit. And, you know , and people got along. , and people got along. Theyre so theyre basically theyre saying british people, saying to the british people, well a separate category well have a separate category for you guys. Yeah. And it wont for you guys. Yeah. And it wont be like were not asking you to marry us. Its more like friends with benefits. Yeah. And it will take over from the eu in about three years. Its european league, its a European Super League, isnt right, isnt it . Basically. Right, because when they had the European Super League in football, this country football, nobody in this country wanted because already football, nobody in this country wantethe because already football, nobody in this country wantethe european already football, nobody in this country wantethe european superzady football, nobody in this country wantethe European Super League have the European Super League in league. Well, in the premier league. Well, exactly. Yeah. Well. You exactly. Yeah. Well. And you couldnt relegated either. Couldnt be relegated either. No, mean this whole thing is no, i mean this whole thing is hypothetical anyway, and its a kind a there is some cynicism kind of a there is some cynicism going on here. This has got a lot to do with the fact that starmer is visiting macron today at the visiting macron today at and the french putting french are essentially putting pressure on because they pressure on starmer because they know that within the support of the labour party, theres still a lot of remain voters who would lap this stuff up because its eu by proxy. So therefore and eu by proxy. So therefore and his stance still is were not rejoining but this is a way to do it without rejoining and this is exactly this isnt just like eu remainer heaven. This is exactly what they always wanted is croissants by the seine. You know. Exactly. Thats all theyre really interested yeah but the interested in. You. Yeah but the french and the germans, the eu people, think its. People, i think its. Its a dream that they have because realise because they dont realise that france and germany, theyre screwed. Theyre screwed demographically, theyre screwed economically. They think economically. They think theyre. They. They think theyre. They. They think theyre team theyre going to control team world and, and whats going to happenis world and, and whats going to happen is my prediction is that team going to go its team world is going to go its going to get stronger and stronger its going going to get stronger and str no, theyre not trying. Team world trying to defend world is not trying to defend themselves against china or russia. Trying russia. Theyre trying to destroy and britain. Destroy america and britain. Thats other team. Thats the other team. Okay. What is the Financial Times . Have paul and canada and india, those big foes, canada and india expel a diplomats as rift deeper over murder claim. Rift deeper over murder claim. So this is the murder of Hardeep Singh nijjar prominent sikh leader in british columbia. And he was shot dead by two masked gunmen in the province in june of this year. And the canadian Prime Minister has said that he has it on Good Authority , that there are credible allegations that new delhi was involved in the murder. So this kind of by which they mean modis government. Yes, they do. You know, its kind of echoes of litvinenko and the kind of stuff thats gone on in the uk before. Hes essentially saying that, you know, its a its a big threat to their sovereignty, the sort of thing anyone would say if there was a diplomatic murder on the sikh, the victim was an activist trying to get support for sikh separatist state. Thats my understanding. Reading this story, he was in canada on a sort of like a drumming up a little bit of funds or something. So he is a prominent leader in british columbia, so he must have been well established. And to be to be fair. Simon, this this story is relatively new to me. Id only heard about it today for the first time because because it made the headunes because because it made the headlines and i only read about it for the first time this evening. Believe that evening. But i believe that the guy prominent leader guy was a prominent sikh leader unked guy was a prominent sikh leader linked youre linked to the things that youre saying he has saying within india. And he has been out essentially. I been taken out essentially. I mean, should say, balance mean, i should say, for balance that india are claiming that its absurd and motivated, motivated by what . Its hard to imagine anybody else killing a masked gunman , else killing a masked gunman, killing a sikh activist. It seems it seems an unusual target, doesnt it . And this story is a very everyone loves the sikhs. Right. Whether we like the sikhs country. Sikhs in this country. Theres been lot of but theres been a lot of animosity between the sikhs and the and the hindu hindus. Animosity between the sikhs and the and the hindu hindus. And as the and the hindu hindus. And as a of fact, whats his a matter of fact, whats his name . There was there was a sikh. Believe not, the. The believe it or not, the indians hire the sikhs to be their bodyguards for their Prime Minister and one of them killed. Maybe, maybe nehru or gandhi or somebody. Yeah, i think he was bizarrely. Yeah, right. So and the sikhs are i dont know too much about them. I dont have any inherent hostility to them. I could develop some, but hons them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. Them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. But them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. But they, lions alive right. But they, they have a they they are the warrior, as far as i know , the warrior, as far as i know, the warrior, as far as i know, the warrior class of the indian subcontinent. And so held in very high esteem by the kind of alt right traditionalists , you alt right traditionalists, you know, and regarded as as having a code of chivalry. And so on that weve long since lost sight of is that us . Is that me then. I like them. If finally ending this if thats finally ending this section with the metro louis oh, this is the toughest subject we got. Tv sex assault got. Tv comics, sex assault claims, toxic brand. This is this is this. This is the cutting edge of the wedge edge thats going between the team world and team britain or team america is theyre going after russell Russell Brand. Maybe he did what he did. I mean, if he if he didnt do what he did, id be surprised because he was had a tremendous reputation for doing yeah. Say doing that. Yeah. And they say he hiding in broad daylight, he was hiding in broad daylight, but he wasnt hiding. He was telling everyone he wasnt even hiding. Hiding. Absolutely e absolutely youre absolutely right. The same called the same term they called the documentary plain sight. Yeah documentary in plain sight. Yeah and reference and hes obviously a reference to term, phrase everyone to the term, the phrase everyone used savage. The used about savage. Right the savage weird, savage was obviously this weird, sleazy on kids sleazy character, always on kids tv. And, uh, so he was tv shows. And, uh, and so he was hiding. Brand was not hiding in plain sight. He was literally going, im an incredibly promiscuous. Im only here to try and get laid. Try and get laid. And he was and everyone was like, yes , yes, get him on, book like, yes, yes, get him on, book him, book him, right. And now they dont want him because end because basically, at the end of the all about the day, what this is all about is he switched teams and nobody likes team switcher, im afraid. I think is some i mean, i think there is some i mean, its been a four year investigation and that predates so i dont know. But investigation and that predates so i dont know. But i investigation and that predates so i dont know. But i know what so i dont know. But i know what you mean. It kind of smacks of that somehow its hard to escape that, isnt it . W e point . It was a can i add one point . It was a four team. Four year four year team. Four year investigation. But investigation. Yeah but yesterday or today, channel 4 Just Announced were going to have our own investigation because we didnt investigate it yet. It was on the because we didnt investigate it yet. It was on the air. Its a total hatchet. So the chinese walls within these organisations are quite something. But anyway, that is it for part one coming up. We have britains woes. Birminghams woes, keegans woes. My love is like a red, red rose. Well see you in a couple of and gb news radio. And welcome back to headliners. Im still simon evans. Theyre still paul cox and Lewis Schaffer. Yeah, just occurred to me that one of your ancestors must have been a little lad in the back of a boat. But ah, yes, likely. You know what it means. A couple of things. It also means jester. Oh, really . Yeah thats nice. And what are you, pen . And what are you, your pen . No, im im a chauffeur. No, im a pen. A in america. Yeah. Pen. Or a beer in america. Yeah. And could either mean. It and it could either mean. It could mean either a shepherd or and it could either mean.

I dont see you as a shepherd. Sorry. I dont see shepherd. Im sorry. I dont see me maker. Shepherd. Im sorry. I dont see me as maker. Shepherd. Im sorry. I dont see me as a maker. Either. As a maker either. As a maker either. Fiddling around in in a fiddling around in a in a workshop more workshop that seems more plausible telegraph lewis plausible. Telegraph now, lewis at this rate, britain will be reduced to invading the of reduced to invading the isle of man distract attention. Man to distract attention. Well, thats theyre well, thats what theyre saying. Economy almost saying. Britains economy almost as weak as argentina warms, warns oecd and the oecd. This is in the telegraph and the oecd stands for the organisation for Economic Cooperation and development and the overexaggerating. Overexaggerating. Yeah. Is that true . No, i dont know. This sounds like theyre pushing it a bit this time though. Yeah, its like. Like yeah, its like. Its like the 20 largest countries and of the 20 largest countries and of the 20 largest countries. G g 20 of the 20 largest countries , of the 20 largest countries, britain is only slightly better than argentina, right . Who goes than argentina, right . Who goes bankrupt every other day and cant pay their bills every other day. So whoever lends money to argentina, they have defaulted on their debt nine times. Even people stop lending money louis schaefer. So but money to louis schaefer. So but but what it is. Yes but you know what it is. Yes argentina. Yes. Were doing worse argentina , but maybe worse than argentina, but maybe argentina having the day argentina is having the best day possible. We are having the possible. And we are having the worst. We, the british are having the worst day possible, similar to the way always similar to the way they always say warmer in skegness say it was warmer in skegness today it was in salamanca. Today than it was in salamanca. Well, the other country thats in there as well is germany, right. They say the three bottom countries. As as countries. As soon as you introduce britains as introduce britains almost as doing badly as germany. Well, doing as badly as germany. Well, that bad. That doesnt sound so bad. Thats problem with well, thats the problem with this isnt it . This whole thing, isnt it . Yeah. And a couple of yeah. And theres a couple of things here, because things going on here, because just to frame this. Yeah, they take these measurements now, but theres huge lag. So what theres a huge lag. So what were is a like light were seeing is a bit like light years. What were seeing is something place something that took place a while ago , perhaps even at the while ago, perhaps even at the beginning year and at beginning of this year and at one the beginning of one point at the beginning of this that this year, they were saying that our on the floor and our gdp was on the floor and wed never its wed never recover. Its the worst in the eu, etcetera, etcetera. But just this or etcetera. But just this month or in august it was up by to nought point 2, which was double the prediction , which was 0. 1. Prediction, which was 0. 1. Discover that they , theyd discover that they, theyd mis analysed some quite significant figures in terms of where, how much of a hit wed taken during the, the pandemic as well. Weve been an outlier and suddenly werent an and suddenly we werent an outlier anymore. What i find most seems all most interesting is it seems all the , all political the papers, all political backgrounds, all all ideologies seem bent on bashing our seem hell bent on bashing our economy and saying how bad it is. And for no particular reason. Really. Well i mean for some for brexit. But, but, but, but, but. But not that bad. But its not that bad. No. No. What do you mean . So dont say no particular reason. Say for no particular reason. They have political reason for doing. Are the telegraph why are the telegraph reporting this is why theyve theyve so telegraphs theyve become so telegraphs economy not in great shape. Economy is not in great shape. Can tell you much. The i can tell you that much. The birmingham well that will all be soon fairly plain paul the Birmingham City council out of the frying pan. The frying pan. Yeah daily mail here reporting michael gove has outlined plans to appoint commissioners to take over Birmingham City council and to launch a local inquiry. Well have an inquiry into the authoritys finances after it declared itself effectively bankrupt. But earlier this month bankrupt. But earlier this month and this is incredible , a story and this is incredible, a story that doesnt seem to get enough time for my liking because this is a real one thing. The mail misses out on here is this is a labour for local authority and thatis labour for local authority and that is important because its labour local authorities that seem to find themselves in this section 114 notice prediction predicament, should i say. And predicament, should i say. And its been its racked up birmingham racked up a £760 million debt largely because they couldnt pay it initially and it was going up by 5 to £14, £14 million per month. And the reason that they they were fined this much is because theyd been found to overpay males versus underpaying females. So its kind of woke going broke. Well, theyve had they have had historic inequities have been theyve been sued for havent they, and been forced to and then not been able to pay it. No. But its the second biggest city in the country. Yeah yeah. Is but every country but how is but every country , every city, every town, every business must have this equity. Business must have this equity. There could be more in the there could be more in the pipeline. I was listening. I know a slightly niche angle know its a slightly niche angle on but i was listening to a on it, but i was listening to a thing row, which is thing called front row, which is a radio four on the way in a radio four show on the way in and dont a radio four show on the way in and dont get i cant and but they dont get i cant get news on my car radio. Get gb news on my car radio. I dont know no. Anyway, dont know why, but no. Anyway, they about they were talking about the arts. Mean you arts. Will it mean you know birmingham orchestra, birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham symphony orchestra, birminghiwere saying that a the and they were saying that a the council go bankrupt. Council cannot go bankrupt. Exactly. Commit exactly. It just cannot commit to any further. But i mean, obviously cant be closed down. It cant be put up for sale. So section 104 is a bit like it is declaring itself bankrupt in sense you you are in the sense that you you are saying to anyone owe to. Saying to anyone you owe to. Money you, i cant money i cant pay you, i cant pay money i cant pay you, i cant pay. Legal pay. Ive now got this legal document to. So document say i dont have to. So theres all these kind of things where they would hope for the arts of give arts council to sort of give them of a fund. Them a little bit of a fund. Mean, thats going to be i mean, thats going to be quite nasty. Thats going to be quite nasty. Thats going to be quite the quite miserable, as you say. The second going to second city is going to be devoid you devoid of any of the nice, you know, because i mean, ive been devoid of any of the nice, you kn to because i mean, ive been devoid of any of the nice, you kn to birmingham ean, ive been devoid of any of the nice, you kn to birmingham fairlyve been up to birmingham fairly recently. Couple recently. Ive done a couple of corporates and stuff. Corporates up there and stuff. Theres lot of quite nice big theres a lot of quite nice big shiny you know, shiny buildings you know, beautiful exhibition centres or what they do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know they do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know , they do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know , its they do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know , its not they do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know , its not like hey do, beautiful exhibition centres or wha know , its not like just do, you know, its not like just miserable, you know, rainy , the miserable, you know, rainy, the kind of image you might have. Its a real city. Ive been there, i like it. But it, but at there, i like it. But it, but at the end of the day, at the end of the day, theyre not talking. Theyre talking about selling other building things, selling the library , selling. They own the library, selling. They own 18, selling the library, maybe selling the 18 of the airport that they own , but theyre not that they own, but theyre not speedway or Something Like that. The largest. They. They are the largest. They have the most Council Houses , i believe. Oh, well, thats going to be some money then. Thatll be interesting. No, theyre not going to sell those now, those independent now, louis education gillian education secretary Gillian Keegan has correctly identify the perverse nature of children by the sound of it. This is amazing. Pupils prefer portacabins to classrooms. Portacabins to classrooms. Education secretary claims shes on a roll. Shes a road because 7 on a roll. Shes a road because . Because the buildings are crumbling. Because they were crumbling. Because they were crumbling 20 years ago and they didnt do anything about it. Labour conservatives. And so labour and conservatives. And so but is saying but Gillian Keegan is saying that students prefer being that the students prefer being in portacabins rather than classrooms and shes being ridiculed. But the fact is a portacabin is a small little building that probably much warmer for these kids to be in. It could be warmer. It could also there is that also be i mean, there is that thing. Oldest joke, thing. Its the oldest joke, isnt kids they isnt it, about kids that they want with cardboard want to play with a Cardboard Box . You know what i mean . Box . Do you know what i mean . They do the they never they never do the thing to. Thing theyre supposed to. Theyre thing theyre supposed to. Th its closer to to the the gate. Can do exactly the gate. They can do exactly the halfway to stalag luft 47. I think to be fair we should just say only one school is still like, not gone back. And, you know, most i think it is kind of becoming its becoming less of a crisis than it was. I think its to some extent it is under control. But youre absolutely right, they were extra ordinarily sort of short sighted about coping with it earlier. Ridiculous anyway, paul earlier. Ridiculous anyway, paul, more whining about immigration now from the guardian. Anything to it this guardian. Anything to it this time they do. Yeah. Suella braverman, which is their favourite person to talk about . Man yeah. Suella braverman halted annual inspections of immigration detention centres such as brooke house last year, shortly ministers shortly after the ministers received that received direct warnings that Vulnerable People such as torture victims, had been left unprotected. Unprotected. The immigration watchdog has discussed now this. The reason this is in the guardian is because it was written by david neal and david neal is the chief inspector of an of the independent borders and immigration group. Yeah he cannot be independent because hes hes clearly hes clearly put this report in. Hes not happy with the action thats been taken. And now hes writing in the guardian. It doesnt seem in the guardian. It doesnt seem to be very independent me. To be very independent to me. And know, the and of course, you know, the report the wasnt for the guardian. The report was the reports. The report was the reports. The report was the reports. The report wasnt. But but this but the article in the guardian says david neal has, i believe , written for the believe, written for the guardian after the report. I believe so. Anyway, my point on this is that he cannot be particularly independent and this overly emotive language they use about, oh, its vulnerable torture victims. Of course, we all accept these people. And there are there are babies within this bathwater. There are people who come here seeking asylum who need to seek asylum. However, we seem to have asylum. However, we seem to have politicised this whole thing to try and play on peoples heartstrings and of course theres only so much Suella Braverman can do. And she you know, its difficult to say whether she deliberately halted anything. So my view on this is this is kind of a cynical attack from the guardian. You know what, paul . Theres a lot that she can do. Shes not doing fact is doing it. The fact is, is the tory has a very major team tory party has a very major team world view that team world, a lot of the tories , they dont lot of the tories, they dont want to get rid of the immigrants. They love the immigrants. They love the immigrants. It helps the business, it helps them pick, it just. Team world can just helps. Team world can i just helps. Team world can i just say theres one aspect of it. I thought it was quite interesting that neil, who i dont know much about the guy youre mentioning, was a brigadier Royal Military brigadier in the Royal Military police. Said in army police. He said that in Army Detention centres and so on, he never once saw his soldiers behaving in anything other than a decent , respectful and a decent, respectful and professional way with detainees. Whereas in these in these ones that are under scrutiny, are they, you youre not laughing at that. No, thats exactly what im thinking. I mean, there was quite a lot of evidence that was maybe of evidence that that was maybe his ones. Maybe he of evidence that that was maybe his drill ones. Maybe he of evidence that that was maybe his drill and ones. Maybe he of evidence that that was maybe his drill and wipe. Maybe he of evidence that that was maybe his drill and wipe. Butybe he of evidence that that was maybe his drill and wipe. But he he of evidence that that was maybe his drill and wipe. But he seems did drill and wipe. But he seems to kind of quasi to be saying these kind of quasi civilian , the screws basically civilian, the screws basically in immigration centres were in the immigration centres were behaving badly, would be little and dehumanised, use racist language soldiers language and so on. The soldiers would do that. Well, would never do that. Well, i dont know. Mean, im not interesting. I mean, but like said , he, i mean, but like he said, he, i was so maybe im i think he was so maybe im going to change my mind about what said because what paul said because i think hes being isnt being hes being he isnt being objective because he said there was also one detainee who someone made homophobic comments like this is like there are there are thousands of people in this thing. First of all, torture. And then somebody. Anyway, thats all part two. In part three, all for part two. In part three, we have self slavery and stonehenge. Yes, were going stonehenge.

A band of rain is going push its rain then is going to push its way eastwards across parts of england in particular england and wales in particular with bursts as we go with some heavy bursts as we go through the day, reaching parts of south east into the of the south east into the afternoon, some brighter skies across parts of scotland and northern ireland, but also a feed of showers coming in. And some could heavy and some of these could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures should just to highs of just about get to highs of around celsius the around 20 celsius in the south east. The wind and south east. But in the wind and the rain, its not going to feel as warm as that. That rain will eventually as we eventually clear through as we go wednesday into go through wednesday night into thursday. Start thursday. So a brighter start for places on thursday. For many places on thursday. But again, are going to see again, we are going to see plenty showers and also some plenty of showers and also some heavy rain feeding into heavy showery rain feeding into western parts of scotland in particular with the risk of some thunder. Particular with the risk of some thunder. There will be some further weather further unsettled weather through week, but through the end of the week, but perhaps to perhaps something a bit drier to start saturday. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. Radio. And welcome back to headliners. Weve just been headliners. Weve just been exploring Tom Robinsons back catalogue. But back to the news now. Yeah, louis, scotlands lord. Or i would have thought lady advocate. But anyway , she lady advocate. But anyway, she is appealing against west ministerial intervention. How adorable. Well, its cute. It is cute. Well, its cute. It is cute. Everything that they do is cute. The scottish people, theyre almost like a country. And the almost like a country. And the uk acted quote unquote, unlawfully by quashing nicola self id gender law, which was the law that somebody could say they dont have to be like properly tested, they dont have to have bits cut off. To have any bits cut off. Dont have to live as as they dont have to live as as this for just like they dont have to live as as this forjust like six months. This for just like six months. Just say it and they you just say it and then they go womens prison and its go to a womens prison and its like fault divorce. Like no fault divorce. Your former self, but with your former self, i guess, yes yeah. Guess, isnt it . Yes yeah. Yeah. Thats a good way to say it anyway. Dont interrupt me. Me. He lost all train of thought i nowi me now i know because this story to me is radical. Yes, because. Because so. So the British Government the Big Government intervened to tell scotland, you cant do that. And scotland says cant do that. And scotland says you never told to us stop before. Why are you telling us to stop now . And the british are going, well, because youve gone a bit too far. Because theres this one thing. It number 35, section thing. Is it number 35, section 35 . Of the scotland act. 35 . Yeah. Of the scotland act. And been for some and its been there for some time. And is the time time. And this is the first time i been right . I think its been used, right . You to you yeah. And you have to you have to a little bit about have to know a little bit about the history of devolution god the history of devolution in god bless , i bless tony blair. You know, i think and the labour think tony blair and the labour party, they advocated and party, when they advocated and enforced this upon the rest of the uk, they never believed for a minute thered be any other party in scotland that wouldnt be the labour party. And its be the labour party. And its come come back home come its come back home to roost and of roost a little bit now. And of course is saying shes course she is saying this. Shes snp appointed and shes going to say it. She has to say it. I have only two words for her and that bryson because that is either bryson because this the court of public this failed the court of public opinion. Because of that one opinion. Because of that one case, it proved outright why this would be a problem. Absolutely. And this lord advocate says, oh, it would only vanishingly rare. Well, weve seen got straight seen one. Weve got straight away as soon as you saw one. And even if its i dont care how hypothetically rare they are. There exactly. Yeah. There he is. Yes exactly. Yeah. Like here. So. Yeah. Like this guy here. So. Yeah. And also , i just think its such and also, i just think its such an extraordinarily, like, weird obsession they have. Why do they want to demonstrate their progressive chops . I think a progressive chops . I think a political party. Go on, go on, go on. Because they want to get money from team world. Theyre in team world. They dont want to be in team britain. They want to be in team britain. They want to be in team world. So they go in interesting prison, pull in an interesting prison, pull the un secretary general says reparations for slavery are unworkable but should be considered nevertheless. Considered nevertheless. Yeah. You crazy . Yeah. You crazy . Yeah. You crazy . Well, let me tell you , u. N. Well, let me tell you, u. N. Secretary general says no country has a comprehensive accounted for the past. So by accounted for the past. So by that token , the uns that token, the uns secretary general is an idiot as far as im concerned , because no far as im concerned, because no good can ever come at this. But one of the reasons no good can ever come of this is because the victims are infinite. It you victims are infinite. It you would be better off just giving every human being. As today every human being. As of today on planet earth £100 with a note saying sorry. And then we just saying sorry. And then we just move on. This stuff whether we like or not, happened. Like it or not, happened. Hundreds of years ago. And any slavery thats going on now isnt happening, isnt happening in the western world. And we discussed endlessly and as we discussed endlessly on program and on this particular program and elsewhere gb news britain in elsewhere on gb news britain in particular an unimpeached particular has an unimpeached record on having put itself through a great deal of economic pain and indeed lost countless numbers of lives on the high seas and so on, bringing it to an end so not going to get guilty is it my imagination or is the un increasingly become more a basically like oxfam more like a basically like oxfam with a with like a bit more paperwork . Paperwork . Well, the un is the political arm of the world and the team south in particular. Its become very the un used to be it was kind of there to stop world war iii breaking out in italy, right . Talking yeah, exactly. Become much more concerned with what amounts to sort of activist issues , sort of activist issues, political ideology, the history of the un comes from , um, the of the un comes from, um, the league of nations, which was founded by wilson, who was the team world guy back in the day. Team world guy back in the day. He was like the barack obama of his day and he was thinking, well, were to run the well, were going to run the thing american the thing because were american the same think same way the french think theyre run the theyre going to run europe. The truth in this world, slave truth is, in this world, slave free is a normal fact of life between people in this world. We live in a tiny little window of slave free slavery. Exactly so either were enslaving them or theyre enslaving us. And its going to be the machines that will have us enslaved in the next ten years. And then well see who gets as a jew. As a jew. As a sorry. As a jew, sorry. As a jew, sorry. No, as a jew. How can i interrupt as a jew . I dont become part of the problem now. Yeah, youre racist. Yeah, youre racist. Yeah, youre racist. You carry on as a jew. I. We were enslaved in the land of egypt and it messed us up. So slavery is not a good thing. But were still demanding our reparation. Extraordinarily. However unintentionally. It was a very, very eugenic process, as you know. Well, it made us better. Is that what youre saying, louis . More orwellian rewriting of our history in the dodi as opposed, to be fair, at least stonehenge hasnt been nicked and in somebody elses museum. Well, probably will be well, it probably will be someday at point. Someday. Someday, at some point. Someday. Stonehenge. Built when stonehenge was built. Built when britain country. Britain was a black country. Theres a new Childrens Book flag. I mean, it might be true. The true is. How about if i put this on . Will you laugh now . Yeah theyre just of going on there just kind of going on there because this is a team world thing. Its the idea were one world. Everybody together. Kumbaya. And the truth is, kumbaya. And but the truth is, they dont know when stonehenge was right . I think was built. Am i right . I think i know 6000 years, but not they say that, but they dont really know. And number it could know. And number two, it could have of black people have been a lot of black people there most the people there because most of the people came africa to into came up from from africa to into europe, had a mutation which made us white. And they have this the cheddar man thing, which is disputable. But i dont think the idea that they use the word black now, which has been capitalised, of course, in america and so on, in order to. Yeah i understand lend some sort of dignity to people whos you know, ancestral ethnic past is obscured through slavery or whatever. But by obscured through slavery or whatever. But by doing that, you have said something quite specific about what you mean by black. Just mean dark black. You dont just mean dark skin, right . No, its not a particular ethnicity. And that is not appropriate here. Now, they sound in story they make it sound in this story like gangsta rappers built stonehenge , stormzy, the stormzy stonehenge, stormzy, the stormzy and his mates. Exactly. And but this isnt news. This is evolution. There is every chance. We dont know exactly like louis said, when it was built. That of was built. But at that period of time is every chance that there were black people in the uk because of where they would have migrated from. Course, weve seen the of course, weve seen the horrible histories thing recently, right . Youve seen that black that with the theres a black actor was actor singing that he was a roman and he was a roman legionary and he was a georgian whatever , georgian landowner or whatever, and everyones like, rolling your eyes. Yeah, think your eyes. Yeah, fine. I think this is going to start really annoying people soon. I mean, i think theres be think theres going to be laughter and then theres going to friction than to be far more friction than there needs to be. Everyone was kind getting basically there needs to be. Everyone was kind untilztting basically there needs to be. Everyone was kind until recently basically there needs to be. Everyone was kind until recently. Basically fine until recently. Its not going to annoy people. I think youre so wrong. Okay. I think people are being beaten down by team world beaten down by this team world beating is beating team britain down. I understand what youre saying, but simons absolutely right. And most of the people watching agree with watching this will agree with what quietly in what simons saying quietly in the theyre going at the background. Theyre going at some point, one of these straws is to break my camels is going to break my camels back. theyll be dead yeah, but theyll be dead because. Old. Because. Because were old. Youre not. Youre still young and but were going to. And fresh. But were going to. Were before that happens. Twitter news now, paul, just before the break, this is in the garden. Sounds like wasting garden. It sounds like wasting your might come at price your life might come at a price now as well. Yeah, exactly. Well, a yeah, exactly. Well, thats a really point. All really good point. As we all know, elon musk says twitter now, course , it could change, now, of course, it could change, could charge all users a subscription fee. So hes saying now that he is considering this and he believes that erecting a paywall around twitter will essentially ward off bots or automated accounts. Now, ive always been quite conflict about this. I dont think its a great idea to hide social media behind a paywall. However, i do pay a subscription to twitter. I do so that i subscription to twitter. I do so thati can subscription to twitter. I do so that i can have longer videos to put up there because id like to share content that ive created. I like be able write i also like to be able to write more characters because i also like to be able to write nhave characters because i also like to be able to write nhave a characters because i also like to be able to write nhave a lot characters because i also like to be able to write nhave a lot to characters because i also like to be able to write nhave a lot to say, acters because i also like to be able to write nhave a lot to say, hence because i also like to be able to write nhave a lot to say, hence whyuse i have a lot to say, hence why ive got this job. But but the idea that its going to idea that that its going to stop up bot farms to me is ludicrous because from what i understand about bot farms , understand about bot farms, particularly russian bot farms, they are very well funded and if you put ten, put £10 up as a subscription fee , theyll subscription fee, theyll probably happily pay it. There is a theres a very good reason. There are bots and thats to try and innovative. And control innovative. Enough. I think fair enough. Well i think well leave it there for now because not sure feel because im not sure how i feel about about how lewis about what about how Lewis Schaffer feels about, oh, go on, then. Lewis schaffer. Go on. You schaffer feels about, oh, go on, the|ten. Wis schaffer. Go on. You got ten. Its a trial balloon. Thats what just him what it is. Its just him saying,. You think i can get saying, do. You think i can get some money out of these people . The one interesting thing about musks ownership, its a good way musk runs the one way that musk runs the a fail guy, the place, hes a fail fast guy, right . He just tries lots of things. He fast and breaks he runs fast and breaks things. I lots i quite like that approach. Lots of hasnt worked out, of his stuff hasnt worked out, but of adapted that but hes kind of adapted to that as well, a lot of the stuff well, a lot of the stuff hasnt paid hasnt worked out. He paid 44,000,000 billion and 44,000,000 billion for this and its worth like 4 billion. So thatis its worth like 4 billion. So that is the worst investment. He still i think he might still benefit if gets in. Benefit if trump gets in. You think so . Yeah. You think so . Yeah. You think so . Decisive. Thats he could be decisive. Thats part the final section. Part three in the final section. Blank canvases, diet plans and allotments contain your excitement. Well see you and welcome back to headliner. So paul, we start this section with art hoax news. And im sure this was the plot of an old woody allen movie or something. It feels like it should be. Its not for sure. Artist who suppued its not for sure. Artist who supplied museum with two blank canvases for a project named take the money and run is ordered to repay the £58,000 he was given. Now he was. This 58,000 was part of a 534,000 kroner in cash donation given by the Kunsten Museum for use as part of his artwork. And i think they assumed he was physically to going use some of that money as part of artwork. As part of the artwork. And basically supplied them with basically he supplied them with two empty frames. It is was themed but it was is it was themed and something to do with and it was something to do with currency i think. Currency and things. I think. Was it that right . Was it is that right . Thats what it yeah, thats thats what it suggests what. From suggests here from what. From what hes pulled what im gleaning so hes pulled a one. Its brilliant as a fast one. Its brilliant as far as im concerned. Dont far as im concerned. I dont know whats to not like here. It kind exposes the pretension a kind of exposes the pretension a little bit of art. And we all kind enjoy and it gives kind of enjoy that. And it gives us a good laugh because, us all a good laugh because, i mean, got with mean, he hasnt got away with it. Hes gotten mean, he hasnt got away with it. With hes gotten mean, he hasnt got away with it. With anything gotten mean, he hasnt got away with it. With anything really. Away with anything really. Just want to but i just want to understand, is it original . What do louis it to understand, is it original . What do like louis it to understand, is it original . What do like this louis it to understand, is it original . What do like this is ouis it to understand, is it original . What do like this is ajis it to understand, is it original . What do like this is a pretty to understand, is it original . What do like this is a pretty this to understand, is it original . What do like this is a pretty this is me like this is a pretty this is a joke. There was a running joke. There was a whole play, wasnt it . Its very meta yeah, its very avant. Like been very avant. Its like been around. Its like a around. Its like putting a toilet duchamp. Toilet in marcel duchamp. Yeah, duchamp. Yeah, duchamp. But at the same time, the, the museum gave him the money. It was supposed to represent the average workers income in denmark. So basically the art museum is going to waste 58,000. Yeah. And wave it in the face of some worker instead of giving the money to the worker. Worker. And now he has also got them a lot more publicity. I mean, we wouldnt talking about wouldnt have been talking about it had gone smoothly. It if it had gone smoothly. Exactly. You know, no, exactly. And you know, its worked. Louis telegraph, best louis telegraph, the best time exercise. I would have time to exercise. I would have said last week , probably, you said last week, probably, you know what . Said last week, probably, you knothatst . Said last week, probably, you knothats closer to answer, thats closer to my answer, which lose weight . Which is want to lose weight . According the telegraph, this which is want to lose weight . Actheiing the telegraph, this which is want to lose weight . Acthe best the telegraph, this which is want to lose weight . Acthe best time telegraph, this which is want to lose weight . Acthe best time tolegraph, this which is want to lose weight . Acthe best time to exercise. This is the best time to exercise. And as everybody knows, im a doctor kinesiology erg at at doctor of kinesiology erg at at we dont pronounce the k says knees , knees. Knees, knees. Because im on my knees. Because im on my knees. When is the best time to exercise . Never exercise. Look at louis schaefer. Look at how great i look. I dont do any exercise. And look, obviously exercise. And look, obviously paul does no exercise , but. Paul does no exercise, but. But who just shouts at other people but who just shouts at other peoyeah. Yes im a cop. Yeah. Yes im a cop. This is this is why you should never, ever believe anything in a newspaper. Theres a serious point. I theres a serious point. I dont know if its what youre making, but a lot of people say now, especially in middle aged later age and men in particular, resistance are much resistance training are much better to resistance training are much bette your to resistance training are much bette your weight to resistance training are much bette your weight off, to resistance training are much bette your weight off, then o keep your weight off, then theyre cardio theyre talking about cardio here, theyre here, arent they . Theyre talking about running cycling and. Youre and the machines. Youre actually better off, like actually much better off, like getting up a sweat with a few reps. No building up muscle. You need muscle . No, because. Because that kind exercise makes you kind of exercise makes you hungry and makes your body store and lowers your what you might call it. Your Metabolic Rate and makes you store store so makes you store the store it. So you shouldnt if you want to lose the important lose weight. The most important thing to no carb, low thing is to eat no carb, low carb. Carb. Funny enough, that is kind of what theyre saying. To be fair, they are saying should they are saying you should exercise in the morning after you fasted. An even you fasted. I mean, an even better be to just better idea would be to just fast a bit and eat fast for a bit longer and eat later fasted later in the day having fasted all well, we do not all day. Right. Well, we do not have time go over the lie have time to go over the lie that story is , which is that this story is, which is which just they just which is they just they just divided the three groups into group that was exercising in the morning and they compared them to the people who like to exercise at night. And they found that the people who exercised in the morning are more hard morning are way more hard working. With diet. So diligent with their diet. So there many variables. There are so many variables. Youre right, this thing this thing nonsense. Thing is a total nonsense. Oh, we got one in the end, paul the times from wobbly bellies to wobbly planets. Exactly. Scientists use oh, exactly. Scientists use measure earths daily wobble to nearest millisecond. The way nearest millisecond. The way they do this, as you probably already know, simon, is they use lasers and they fire lasers of an exact length, opposite ways around the earth. And they dont come back at the same position. So they fire them around the earth. I thought they went in a straight line. Yeah , well, they cant yeah, well, they cant because earths round. Simon because the earths round. Simon oh, they must make this oh, okay. So they must make this start that lets lasso the earth. This is the only way you could do it. You imagine if you fire a laser in two different directions, youd never see the end it. Thats come end of it. So thats the come back and it back round. Very true. And it has to land in different places back round. Very true. And it has to lato in different places back round. Very true. And it has to lato knowferent places back round. Very true. And it has to la to know itsnt places back round. Very true. And it has to la to know its notlaces back round. Very true. And it has to lato know its not even. For them to know its not even. That where that phrase is that where that phrase comes euclid. Comes from . From euclid. Yes. Yes. I think he must have. Ive never youre never seen the end of it. Youre a a scientist. These things im a scientist. These things are known, louis. Theyve measured well, theyve measured the wobble to the nearest millisecond. Is it something we need are we need to worry about . Are we bothering along . Here that well, they say in here that it actually affect most it doesnt actually affect most people, time, its people, but over time, its suggesting the suggesting that this means the earth could earth is acas. I think it could be. Yeah. I get i get headaches that in september. Get that start in september. I get headaches when im working with louis. Thats louis. I dont know what thats got either, but the got to do with either, but the idea they might slow the idea is that they might slow the earth earth earth and eventually the earth will stop and well die. Will stop and well all die. This story, but i dont know this story, but i know the velikovsky. I do know the word velikovsky. And story and thats what this is a story about. Its a story. Did you know that ancient know that the that the ancient calendars used to be 360 days, the jewish calendar, muslim calendar, chinese calendar. The incan calendars. They all were they were all three. So obviously the time was different back then. And thats way later than the dinosaurs.
