In my big opinion, as creepy activists try to make all University Students go vegan, we will be next. Those forcing plant based down our neck can burger off as Dominic Cummings is rumoured to be working on a fresh project. Does britain need a new Political Party to smash both the tories and labour . Ill be asking financial and political commentator alpesh patel in a special edition of daniel dolan, in which i take your video calls live on air.

Ill be putting that question to my viewers in my take at ten. Looking forward to this, james bond goes woke another brilliant character bites the dust at the hands of politically correct publisher as 00700.

Plus, tomorrows front surprise. Plus, tomorrows front pageis surprise. Plus, tomorrows front page is at 1030 with three top punst page is at 1030 with three top pundits who havent been told what to say and who dont. Follow the script tonight , follow the script tonight, rebecca jane raqeeb hassan and chris wilde. Tonight ill be chris wilde. Tonight ill be asking the pundits as a Lib Dem Council rolls out a four day working week as britain lost its working week as britain lost its work ethic after our boffins created embryo without a sperm or an egg, has science now gone too far . And as its revealed, 2 Million People do it just once a year . How often do you wash your towels . Plus, the most important part of the show, your emails , part of the show, your emails, they come straight to my laptop market gbnews. Com. And this show has a golden rule. We dont do bonng. Has a golden rule. We dont do boring. Not on my watch. Ijust boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours wont have it. A big two hours to come. We start with my big opinion. Academics, campaigners and environmental experts are calling on all uk universities to adopt completely plant based catering on their campuses. The plant based Universities Campaign published an open letter, which was signed by more than 650 academics. Bbc presenter and eco activist Chris Packham has lent his support. Of course he has. This is all very strange. I thought higher strange. I thought Higher Education was about assembling the facts, gathering data and reaching an informed conclusion. Did these academics not see the rather distressing report suggesting that children raised on a vegan diet were on average three centimetre shorter than those who eat meat . The bones of vegan children were also smaller and less strong , putting them at and less strong, putting them at risk of wait for it fractures and osteo fluorosis in later life. The study by university life. The study by University College londons great ormond Street Institute of child health said parents must be aware of the risks of vegan diets advising that vegan children should be given vitamin b12 and vitamin d supplements to reduce potentially Long Term Health consequences. Cases of being on consequences. Cases of being on a plant based diet. So a diet so incredibly healthy , you need to incredibly healthy, you need to add supplements. Welcome to the add supplements. Welcome to the clown world. Have these academics who are supposed to be much cleverer than you and me and better people. Obviously not reflected on the air. Miles intrinsically linked to a plant based diet with ultra processed meat free foods made in vast factories, packaged in plastic and shipped around the world. Did it not come to their attention that plant based requires vast monocrop agriculture in which millions of hectares of diverse land and the wildlife within it are sacrificed to accommodate mile after mile of corn , wheat and after mile of corn, wheat and soy , depleting the precious and soy, depleting the precious and finite topsoil into the bargain. How about the growing of almonds , which requires billions almonds, which requires billions of litres of water . The same goes for avocados is the mass farming of which is also linked to murderous gang warfare in places like mexico. Meanwhile, places like mexico. Meanwhile, live livestock graze on natural land here in the uk without the help of billions of litres of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Foods which are of pesticides. Foods which are of course essential to plant based Food Production in cows, sheep, goats and lamb, for example , goats and lamb, for example, simply poo and wee on the ground and enriching the soil and watering it at the same time. These animals consume grass, which grows freely and is inedible to humans, and they predominantly graze on land, uninhabitable to us as well. And uninhabitable to us as well. And perhaps now is the moment to mention my good friend Jeremy Clarkson , on whose tv show clarkson, on whose tv show clarksons farm , it was revealed clarksons farm, it was revealed that a full size cow contains within her £1,000 portions of meat, as well as the bones, which can be ground up and used as a natural soil, nutrient, blood and other wanted tissue can be used for dog and cat food and jelly. The hide of the and jelly. And the hide of the animal can be used for leather. So you get a lot of bang for your buck from daisy, the cow. Your buck from daisy, the cow. Thats before we even get to dairy. What about the nutrition value of plant based . Are beyond meat burgers and veggie sausages really going to power the intellectual demands of these Young Students at University City upon whose mental prowess our future success as a society relies. Good luck with that. Given the fact that plant based protein is far less bioavailable, which means its not as easily absorbed or used by the body as well as animal protein, fish, meat, dairy, that is the protein gold standard. Im afraid so. No air miles shorter kids, inadequate nutrition, inadequate protein, pesticides, plastic packaging, fertiliser. Trillions of litres of water. But it doesnt stop there because if you go plant based, youre going to be eating a vast amount more carbon hydrates, bread, pasta , hydrates, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice. Now why is this a problem . Well, because excessive carbohydrate consumption can be linked directly to obesity and type 2 diabetes and going plant based means relying on the Food Industry for ultra processed ready made junk. No ones got time to make a chickpea curry from scratch every day. Do they do me a favour . Its vegan pizza, bags of chips and vast mounds of boiled pasta all day long. Now ive got viewers and listeners who are vegan and they love it. No problem. If that is your choice, go for it. But in time, i fear its the authorities that will be choosing what we all eat and it will be soya burgers , vegan will be soya burgers, vegan bacon and vegetarian lasagne. Well come to hell. Weve been eating meat for millennia and if we pursue this plant based experiment , we pursue this plant based experiment, i predict the next generation will be sicker, fatter, more tired and, frankly, malnourished. Most vegans dont malnourished. Most vegans dont get past six months before giving up. There are multiple reports of irregular periods, loss of muscle , mass fatigue and loss of muscle, mass fatigue and even depression. From this, restoring active diet. Well, of course they cant have bacon, so naturally theyre depressed. So in my view, those seeking to enforce a vegan diet on everyone are silly sausages. Ive got beef with them. And frankly , beef with them. And frankly, they can burger off this is ideological push for plant based is utter bullocks as. Is utter bullocks as. Now what is your opinion . Let me now what is your opinion . Let me know. Mark at gbviews gbnews. Com. There are many eminent climate scientists , medics, doctors, professors who take the view that livestock farming has a huge and disproportionate impact on the climate raising temperatures , climate raising temperatures, carbon emissions, the cows releasing methane, they argue that weve got to eat less meat to get those temperatures down. Thats not my view. But what is yours . Mark gb news. Com. Lets get reaction from my fantastic punst get reaction from my fantastic pundits tonight. The deputy pundits tonight. The deputy leader of ukip , no less, rebecca leader of ukip, no less, rebecca jane , social policy analyst, dr. Jane, social policy analyst, dr. Raqeeb hassan and author and campaigner chris wilde. Well, campaigner chris wilde. Well, chris, let me start with you. Are you a meat eater yourself . Yes, i am. And ive just been to the butcher today and spent £70 on a big bag of meat. This is absolutely ridiculous. You is absolutely ridiculous. You know, i was listening to joe rogan other day, and he rogan the other day, and he said, but the in humans is said, but the dna in humans is changing because people not changing because people are not eating jaw is eating meat. The jaw the jaw is reduced size from 100 reduced in size from 100 years from were have from now, were going to have human beings no jaws. And human beings with no jaws. And that for me, that sounds like aristocrats. Half the cabinet. Sounds like half the cabinet. Sounds like half the cabinet. But again, do you what but again, do you know what it is . Its. Theyve chins, isnt it . But the thing is, i dont worry isnt is a worry worry isnt it . It is a worry and i dont want people telling me cant eat. I, me what i can and cant eat. I, you know, im from yorkshire. I was born and bred on steak, on meat. You know, thats all ive known. Intense known. Theres nothing intense about the way those cows are farmed there . Farmed in yorkshire, is there . No, not. All no, absolutely not. Its all organic. Theyre organic. Theyre all, theyre living a free life. Its all its all done in the right way. And i think thats what bothers people theres this, people in it. But theres this, you know, wokeism i hate you know, this wokeism i hate using word because it gets using that word because it gets used but thats what used so much, but thats what were dealing with is just people you people constant thinking, you know, cows are being know, but these cows are being murdered. Theyre being punished. And punished. And you know, live and let about this let live. We spoke about this before. Up of time before. Im fed up of every time i a restaurant, im i go to a restaurant, im feeling guilty about having a steak. Shouldnt steak. And you shouldnt feel like i just the well, now i just think the issue raqib is that as human beings, omnivorous, right beings, we are omnivorous, right 7 beings, we are omnivorous, right . So we eat vegetables, we eat fruits and we animal fruits and we eat animal protein, fish , dairy, meat. Protein, fish, dairy, meat. I think we need it. Im worried about thousands of University Students. The next generation, who are just basically eating processed rubbish for three years. Absolutely. Absolutely. And i think theres actually theres been deal theres been a great deal of misinformation. Theres been a great deal of misinformation. Id theres been a great deal of misinformation. Id actually misinformation. Id actually say, in terms of presenting a vegan diet as an unadulterated good when the reality is by having a vegan diet, youre missing out on some important nutrients. And its anything but a balanced intake. A balanced intake. I mean, do you know any vegans . Vegans . Ido vegans . I do know vegans. I do know vegans. And how are they getting on with the diet . Because many of my viewers and listeners love it. Try not it. Talk about that. I try not to talk about that. Well, the thing is, the vegan , well, the thing is, the vegan, the is they have to avoid it. They havent got the energy to argue you. To argue with you. Have they . Rebecca have you . Have they . Rebecca jane, majority of climate jane, the majority of climate scientists would argue that intensive farming is pushing those emissions up. And actually we must eat less meat to save the planet. Yeah its also we must eat less meat to save the planet. Planet. No, we must eat less meat because we need to control people more. If you want to be a vegan , be a vegan. Have a lovely vegan, be a vegan. Have a lovely time. Eat all the plants in the time. Eat all the plants in the world that you want. But dont come at me. You know , humans come at me. You know, humans were put on this planet to procreate. Animals put on procreate. Animals were put on this planet to help the life cycle go around. Theyre not put on this planet to sit in a field all day look cute. So what all day and look cute. So what about the people . About the people that go what about the people that go vegan and feel much better . Lots of disappear. Vegan and feel much better . Lots of disappear. A of Health Ailments disappear. A game many people. I game changer for many people. I dont believe that. Dont know if i believe that. Not quite sure either. Im not quite sure either. And you when were and also, you know, when were talking have to talking about they do have to have things like have supplements and things like that. Obviously struggling that. Were obviously struggling somewhere. As somewhere. So its not as perfect as what they want to make theres ulterior make out. Theres an ulterior motive this. Motive at play for this. Okay. Well, what do you think should britain go plant based to save the planet . Let me know your margaret your thoughts. Margaret gbnews. Com mark dolan is gbnews.

Dominic cummings, Boris Johnsons former chief adviser and the brains behind johnsons astonishing 2019 election victory is set to create a new party to take power in 2028 in order to replace what he calls the rotten tory horror show. He wants to launch the party, which hes referring to as the start up party by christmas. He has some serious credibility , of course, because credibility, of course, because even though he left number 10 acrimoniously. Dominic cummings was one of the key figures behind vote leave. So could his influence once again change the course of british political history . Does britain need a new Political Party to smash labour and the tories . Well get to my and the tories . Well get to my well get to my newsmaker in just a second. But lets hear from rebecca jane raqeeb hassan and also chris wild. What do you think about this , rj . I mean, think about this, rj . I mean, you are the deputy leader of an alternative party. Would you like some more competition from Dominic Cummings yeah , thats Dominic Cummings yeah, thats exactly what the country needs, isnt it . We need another party on the centre right of politics. What a lot of nonsense. Lovely idea. Thank you very much. Hows about thank you very much. Hows about you do us all the favour and just actually try and help us amalgamate all of the splinter parties in a true amalgamation, not just standing aside for each other, but actually a true Brand New Party where we all come together under one umbrella for another party on top of all of that. Absolutely load of nonsense, well completely achieve nothing. Are the deputy leader of you are the deputy leader of ukip. Is a National Political ukip. It is a national Political Party with some pedigree led of course, by neil hamilton. Can course, by neil hamilton. Can you tell me on the record, would you tell me on the record, would you do a deal with Dominic Cummings if he created a new Political Party . Would you go to bed with cummings . Not bed with cummings . Not literally. Of course not. In that bobble hat of his mark you too far. But yeah, absolutely. Why not . Um, yes, i have said this. Ive said it to all centre. Right. Splinter parties repeatedly and ive said it on here we need to all amalgamate. Here we need to all amalgamate. Ihave here we need to all amalgamate. I have been like a broken record for nearly a year now. Theres reasons why its not happening and we need people to actually step up. And we need people to actually step up. Nigel and we need people to actually step up. Nigel farage, and we need people to actually step up. Nigel farage, im talking to you again. You need to up and you need to help to step up and you need to help us actually achieve it. Rikki neave does britain need a new Political Party smash a new Political Party to smash labourin a new Political Party to smash labour in the tories . Well, i think that what is really difficult, mark, is that we have the first past the post system traditionally system and traditionally thats given to our two party given rise to our two party system in recent times we have had the conservative liberal democrat coalition, but our politics is confrontational and adversarial, largely because we do have that two party system. Um, so in a way, our politics is designed kind to keep out minor parties from having much influence and there are there are times where weve had elections where ukip, for example, all the featured prominently in the build up to general elections. Theyve shaped. But you shaped the debate. But when you actually at the allocation actually look at the allocation of following a general of seats following a general election, you see there there is a bias in my view, against smaller parties. So its not so smaller parties. So its not so much a matter of does the country need another Political Party to smash that duopoly . I just dont think we have the system for that to even take place. And conservatives and labour are never going to vote for it because turkeys dont vote for christmas. Well, look, let me tell you, plenty of my viewers and listeners are vegan. Plenty of my viewers and listeners. Chris wild, me they wild, tell me that they are politically cant politically homeless. They cant stand the tories, they cant stand the tories, they cant stand labour. Theyre not all of stand labour. Theyre not all of them are convinced by reform uk and richard tice do you think reform uk have have cut through or is there a gap in the market . No, i mean im quite new to politics. Like i, you know, ive vote labour party. Im a youth advisor for the labour party in enfield and i just think , you enfield and i just think, you know, need a party, know, we dont need a new party, especially anything ukip. Especially anything like ukip. Thats, we for thats, you know, we just for me, what, what have they achieved . What do they represent . And disrespect , no represent . And no disrespect, no disrespect for brexit, but im sorry. Yeah, but look at the mess that scotts in. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Were mess because of no. Were in a mess because of that. Know, even the liberal that. You know, even the liberal democrats id vote them democrats id vote for them before id vote ukip and for me, democrats id vote for them befdonti vote ukip and for me, democrats id vote for them befdont need ukip and for me, democrats id vote for them bef dont need that. And for me, democrats id vote for them bef dont need that. Wei for me, democrats id vote for them bef dont need that. We need ne, democrats id vote for them befdont need that. We need a , we dont need that. We need a stronger labour part. We need some strong and some strong leaders and next year have labour party year we will have a labour party government. So. Year we will have a labour party gokaay,ent. So. Year we will have a labour party gokaay, well, .

But an important entrepreneur. But what think about the what do you think about the political i mean, dominic political scene . I mean, Dominic Cummings has a proven track record, leave and brexit, record, vote leave and brexit, not just brexit, but of course, boriss 2019 election victory. Boriss 2019 election victory. Why would you even go against what is the most successful Political Party in the world . Okay, you take the conservatives, you take the fact that they also brought you the greatest Prime Minister this country has ever had. Country has ever had. Wellington, albeit they also gave you neville chamberlain. But you know, forget about him. And the last time you had a new Successful Party in this country, which led to any change, actually got into office basically. Well , it basically. Well, it was basically. Well , it was in basically. Well, it was in 1900. Well, it was in 1900. It was formed and it didnt come into government until 1924. And that same party. And that same party. Well , if it and that same party. Well, if it wins the and that same party. Well , if it wins the next well, if it wins the next election, it will have been 50 years since it won a general election.

We do need the smaller parties to take over from labour and the tories. We need some fresh new talent, ideas and policies that can make britain great again. Can make britain great again. And what about this . Universities that want their students to go completely plant based and its from a fellow mark. Mark, how are you . Mark says, i believe the Science Behind the claims that eating meat is contributing significantly to Climate Change is flawed. I read stat is flawed. I read a stat claiming methane emissions for cattle was 5 of total emissions is absolute rubbish , dave says. Is absolute rubbish, dave says. Most people that talk about the abuse of animals on farms probably got their information from the front of a magazine without questioning the objectivity of the information. Anyone thats worked on or has been involved with livestock farming will tell you that the animals prefer to be in the barns. I tried a vegan burger barns. I tried a vegan burger and i broke out in hives. Not impressed, dave. Thank you for that. Keep those emails coming at gbnews. Com its time now for at gbnews. Com its time now for a special edition of dial dolan in which i take your video calls live on air and rishi sunak has suggested that benefits could be cut in real terms next year as he eyes money saving measures to free up cash for tax cuts. And free up cash for tax cuts. And the pm refused to rule out increasing handouts by less than inflation. Seven and pointed to the help that hes provided families with their energy bills. This comes after it emerged that jeremy hunt, the chancellor , is looking at chancellor, is looking at severing the usual link between welfare payments and rising prices. If it happens, will this move hit families struggling when they need the cash the most . Or is britains welfare bill now too high . Well, take a look at this. It is a real terms graph courtesy of stats dating back to 1948, right up to the present day. This is 48 at the top and 2023 at the bottom. You will see that welfare payments in blue there have grown steadily with the annual bill for handouts now running at £231 billion. So is the welfare bill out of control . Lets get the out of control . Lets get the opinions of two of my fabulous mark dolan tonight. Viewers two good friends of mine, sue in cheshire, and andrew in essex. Ladies first. Sue, you are a bookkeeper by trade. Is britains welfare bill now too high . I was a bookkeeper. Ive finished now. Um, yeah, i think finished now. Um, yeah, i think the welfare bill is too high. Weve kept giving more and more and more and more. I think we should encouraging more people to actually go back to work rather than take money off the state all the time. And i think state all the time. And i think the figures show that so many more people are on welfare now than have ever been in the past. So i think its about time we should slow down the increases and try and get people back to work. Work. What do you think about this, andrew . Many people are struggling and if welfare payments dont rise with inflation, they could really have a hard time. Have a hard time. Hello . Can you hear me . Yeah hello . Can you hear me . Yeah andrew, did you get that . What do you think about the idea that welfare will not increase with inflation . Can you. Can you hear . No. Youre to going reconnect the line there. Gremlins in the system tonight must be the heat. Must be the weather. But lets go back to sue because you cant have too much of sue in cheshire. Sue, what about those who could even go hungry or perhaps not be able to heat their if welfare to heat their homes if welfare payments do rise with payments do not rise with inflation, then what if people at the very bottom are out of pocket . Pocket . Well , i pocket . Well, i think, you know , i am well, i think, you know, i am not a wealthy pensioner myself, but , you know, i get by if you but, you know, i get by if you if you know, theres not going to come anything extra , then, to come anything extra, then, you know, youve got to do without it. And work, work around it. I without it. And work, work around it. I mean, even though we had a 10 pay rise in our pension when i ended up with less pension because of the tax level that i had to pay with my small pension from the bank i used to work in. So im actually worse off after a 10 rise than i was before. But, you know, so i was before. But, you know, so thatis i was before. But, you know, so that is life. I shall cope with it and thats it. So you think. You think sue, that the country needs to tighten its belt and live within its means . Is your message . Its means . Is your message . George yeah, i think people people dont buy now what they need. People dont buy now what they need. Its all about what they need. Its all about what they want and theres too much wanting and, you know, not enough saving and not enough , enough saving and not enough, you know, making the money go as far as possible with what youve got and just buying the essentials that you actually need. Now, sue, this is another astonishing story id like to raise with you the Times Newspaper report that a third of young people are seeking counselling because theyre so stressed about the state of the planet and Global Warming. How seriously do you think we should take their symptoms . Should eco anxiety be recognised as a Mental Health condition . Mental Health Condition . No, i dont think it should. No, i dont think it should. I think the fear of gods being put in and by the by the media and all, you know, and like the bbc and the newspapers , i think bbc and the newspapers, i think at the end of the day we need more balanced views on on Climate Change. Yes there is a problem, but its not chaos. Its not crisis. Its we can its not crisis. Its we can deal with it bit by bit instead of all this rush to net zero, making everybody poorer and, you know, not even taking a proper view. Its like all these electric cars they expecting us to buy electric cars are not that green, but they dont tell you the bits about how much carbon is used in building the things and moving them around and the damage they cause to roads. And how much you cant, cant recycle and all the rest of it. All that should be put in of it. All that should be put in the balance when theyre trying to work out whats a whats eco friendly and isnt and they friendly and what isnt and they dont it. Yeah yeah. Dont do it. Yeah yeah. Listen, weve lost the line to andrew, but sue, its so brilliant to have you back on the show. One of my favourite mark tonight. Viewers mark dolan tonight. Viewers contributors dial dolan. Can mark dolan tonight. Viewers caskibutors dial dolan. Can mark dolan tonight. Viewers cask you rs dial dolan. Can mark dolan tonight. Viewers cask you a dial dolan. Can mark dolan tonight. Viewers cask you a personal olan. Can mark dolan tonight. Viewers c ask you a personal question . I ask you a personal question . Because i other viewers because i know other viewers will concerned. Have had will be concerned. Have you had an you okay . An accident . Are you okay . Yes, i was hoping that one of the one of the questions tonight would have been the state of our roads and pavements, because on tuesday, i tripped over a broken slab on the pavement near my house and id crumbs. Were having one of those shows, arent we . But listen , shows, arent we . But listen, paul sue, i dont know if youve seen her on the show, but im really fond sue because shes really fond of sue because shes very and she says it very articulate and she says it as she sees it. And there you go as she sees it. And there you go telling us a story about dodgy pavements and really hurting herself. I hope that she pursues the local authority through the courts will definitely courts and we will definitely get back, because i find get sue back, because i find that shes the voice common that shes the voice of common sense and sense on this show. And poor andrew word in, but andrew didnt get a word in, but well definitely get him on well definitely get him back on again soon. Folk folks , let me again soon. Folk folks, let me tell you that weve been conducting an exclusive mark dolan tonight peoples poll today, ive been asking , as today, and ive been asking, as Dominic Cummings rumoured to Dominic Cummings is rumoured to be fresh project, be working on a fresh project, does need new does britain need a new Political Party to smash both the tories and labour . The results are in 84. 5 say yes. We do need a party to smash them and 15. 5 say we do not. So there you go. Coming up with tonights top pundits as a Lib Dem Council rolls out, a four day week, has britain lost the work ethic after boffins create an embryo without a sperm or an egg . Has science gone too far . And wait for this as its revealed that 2 Million People do it just once a year . How often do you wash your towels . Often do you wash your towels . Well discuss that next is britains welfare bill now too high . Emails coming in thick and fast. Roy says what people forget talking about forget when talking about benefits and old age pension benefits and the old age pension is taxed, is that the pension is taxed, but benefits are not, so they should not call the pension a benefit. When you have to pay tax it. You very much tax on it. Thank you very much for that, roy. Third does for that, roy. Third party. Does britain political britain need a new Political Party smash and the party to smash labour and the tories that certainly Dominic Cummings plan and this is the guy brexit guy that pretty much made brexit happen. Co founded vote leave happen. He co founded vote leave and got boris into power in and he got boris into power in 2019, seen an and irene says, mark, we need a new party now. I will only vote if nigel farage stays bands. He will make uk great again. He is the only pubuc great again. He is the only public figure that i trust there you go. Well, look fascinating. Discuss action, isnt it . Well get to more of your emails shortly , but reacting to the big shortly, but reacting to the big stories of the day, tonights top pundits, deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane , social ukip, rebecca jane, social policy analyst dr. Rakib hasan , policy analyst dr. Rakib hasan, and author and campaigner chris wild. Now in a bold move, south wild. Now in a bold move, south Cambridgeshire District Council led by the lib dems , has rolled led by the lib dems, has rolled out its four Day Work Week trial with full pay for frontline and back office staff, including bin collectors. While some have hailed it as a progressive step towards better work life balance, does this actually change the way that we work . And doesit change the way that we work . And does it demonstrate that britain is losing its work ethic . What do you think about this . Raqeeb well , i think do you think about this . Raqeeb well, i think that when we have these kind of debates about having a shortened working week , a four day week, we hear that there will be benefits for workers , you know, increased workers, you know, increased well being , happiness. Well being, happiness. They report themselves that theyll have a benefit from increased productivity. But you increased productivity. But you dont hear much from the customers. Now, in this case, customers. Now, in this case, when it comes to the local council, we need to see what the wider public think about that. Shorten week. You know, what did they think is the possibility in terms of how we would affect the services that they want to access. So i think when we have these kind of debates, its very worker oriented. When in this particular context we also have to look at what public feel to look at what the public feel about in terms of potential about it in terms of potential impact it will have on the services that they want to access. Yeah, f well, yeah, rebecca jane, this smacks something this smacks of something that goes the goes down very well in the pubuc goes down very well in the public , but i cant public sector, but i cant imagine too many bosses small imagine too many bosses of small or enterprise sizes would or Medium Enterprise sizes would be happy to have staff on a four day week. Um they are actually. Day week. Um they are actually. Yeah. So obviously part of my work is that i do psychology consultancy for businesses and they do actually seem to quite like it. My problem is, is that there are an element of people who take advantage of that and my other big issue is, is that what we seem to be having with younger generations coming through is they dont have through is that they dont have any autonomy. So they really struggle sort motivate struggle to sort of motivate themselves. And actually do i themselves. And actually do i think the productive think that the more productive and dont. But also from and no, i dont. But also from my you know, how my perspective, you know, how many people actually genuinely do want that four day working week. Know that. I certainly week. I know that. I certainly dont want it. It actually makes my life hard work. I know its hard you the hard work when you know the world closes down for easter and christmas and all the rest of it. At some point in time we it. So at some point in time we are going have have are going to have to have a bit of element of toughening up. Of an element of toughening up. What do you i mean, chris, what do you think this . Some people think about this . Some people work seven days a week. Yeah. Had chat. I mean, rakim had the chat. Yeah. Affects my work lot yeah. This affects my work a lot because obviously because my work, obviously i work a lot service work with a lot of Service Users who rely on those services to be open days seven open five days a week, seven days give an example. Days a week. I give an example. If you know a Young Service usen if you know a Young Service user, 19, user, a young person, 18, 19, hes leaving care. Hes in crisis. Cant get anywhere to crisis. He cant get anywhere to leave. Hes going made leave. Hes going to be made homeless. He cant through leave. Hes going to be made hom� onss. He cant through leave. Hes going to be made hom� on a. He cant through leave. Hes going to be made hom� on a friday. 1t through leave. Hes going to be made hom� on a friday. 1t thatough to it on a friday. And that person to end up person then is going to end up on street. So theres on the street. So theres ramifications of this and this is crisis, the is a national crisis, by the way. So its like a lot of local authorities desperate authorities are in Desperate Measures at the moment. And i think when they Start Talking about reduce hours, i about trying to reduce hours, i think, know, its all about think, you know, its all about saving money well. And saving money as well. And council particular Council Leaders in particular who huge who pay themselves huge salaries, are the ones who salaries, those are the ones who need be backed down on the need to be backed down on the workforce. And you know, it for workforce. And you know, it for me, its a disaster right me, mark, its a disaster right now. It really is me, mark, its a disaster right now. It really is on the streets. It really is. And, you know , even now, five days know, even now, five days a week, i cant get through to the Council People council when people are struggling. Whats going struggling. So whats it going to like . Four days a week . To be like . Four days a week . Have wonder, yeah, you have to wonder, dont look, disclosure, well, look, full disclosure, we anything you we dont hide anything from you here gb lots of my here at gb news. Lots of my colleagues a four day colleagues do. Do a four day week do long day and week and they do a long day and theyre happy with it. But theyre quite happy with it. But its all down to the individual, isnt what do you think isnt it . What do you think the four is it four day working week is it a good gbnews. Com now good idea . Market gbnews. Com now in a groundbreaking development, good idea . Market gbnews. Com now in a grourhaveaking development, good idea . Market gbnews.

This raises test positive. This raises questions about the boundaries of scientific experimentation. Of scientific experimentation. Has it gone too far this time round . What do you think, chris yeah, i mean , this this scared yeah, i mean, this this scared me when i read this today, it was i mean, they can do was like, i mean, they can do anything now. Weve and technology. Weve got ai and technology. Then youve got, know, then youve got, you know, theyre without theyre making babies without men. A couple of men. That means a couple of years be like, years that women would be like, oh, remember when we to oh, remember when we used to have like, were going have men . Hes like, were going to extinct. Need to be extinct. They dont need us rebecca its even less. Its rebecca its even less. Its even less sex for us lads. It. Oh, my word. Thats it. Oh, my word. Thats it. Oh, my word.

Were going to literally creating going to be literally creating auens going to be literally creating aliens thats kind aliens. As you know, thats kind of my i shared that thing. Of my i shared that same thing. I this is actually i was like, this is actually really and it needs really concerning and it needs banning. Banning. Well, yes. Well, yes. And covid suggest that and covid would suggest that our scientific experiments sometimes rikki our scientific experiments sometirso; rikki our scientific experiments sometirso were rikki our scientific experiments sometirso were playing kki our scientific experiments sometirso were playing with neave. So were playing with fire here, arent we . I think think you i think here i think you framed the problem very well. The boundaries of scientific experimentation. Now, of course, experimentation. Now, of course, some people may justify this on the grounds that, you know, it will deepen exploration the grounds that, you know, it will to epen exploration the grounds that, you know, it will to tackle exploration the grounds that, you know, it will to tackle genetic ration the grounds that, you know, it will to tackle genetic diseases how to tackle genetic diseases and all the rest of it. But i think people ultimately feel that is a form of that this is a form of scientific overreach. And i think itll make make even think itll make itll make even people are generally pro people who are generally pro science, they may feel, science, even they may feel, yeah, i think we need rein it in. The valid point we all said though, when, when is enough, enough . Well, were going to be making zombies stop it. Theres very serious oh, theres a very serious ethical debate to had. Ethical debate to be had. Debate. An ethical debate. An ethical debate. Zombies ive got three zombies here, especially rebecca ive got three zombies here, especshe rebecca ive got three zombies here, espec she just rebecca ive got three zombies here, especshe just got rebecca ive got three zombies here, especshe just got off rebecca ive got three zombies here, especshe just got off a becca ive got three zombies here, especshe just got off a plane, jane.

Theyll be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day. So a packed hour and those papers are coming at 1030 sharp. But first, my take. At ten, the names my take. At ten, the names wolk, james wolk. I was shaken wolk, james wolk. I was shaken and stirred by this story. The latest james bond novel on his majestys secret service, written by tv comedian Charlie Higson, features white men who oppose wokeness as the main villains. One particular baddie is roger burkett, an ex tory mp , obviously, and a man famous for promoting Covid Vaccine mask wearing and 5g conspiracy theories. What is a mask wearing theories. What is a mask wearing Conspiracy Theory . Exactly . Id argue the suggestion that those filthy muzzles work is the ultimate conspiracy. Anyway, ultimate conspiracy. Anyway, back to the story. This horrible, evil character apparently spouts anti immigrant , anti eu anti bbc, anti mainstream media, anti cultural marxist Climate Change denial pronounced. Thats what a pronounced. Thats what a monster were told by the narrator. It was an anti trans diatribe that had eventually got him kicked out of the party and hed soon set up the new freedom party. Interesting let me read you a bit of this new, very woke james bond bond was struck by something. It was a long while since hed been at any kind of function that was almost exclusively full of men. It felt strange. There was not even strange. There was not even a pretence at diversity here. The baddie hadnt been the least bit concerned about ensuring that half of the people hed hired to carry out his coup should be women or non white or disabled. Women or non white or disabled. Its true , isnt it . If you are its true, isnt it . If you are an evil mastermind and hell bent on taking over the world, its only right that you fulfil a few diversity quotas along the way. Its important that if someone is torturing you for national secrets, you work out what their pronouns are. So one can assume pronouns are. So one can assume this change in style is to make bond more inclusive. Well, may bond more inclusive. Well, may god forgive me for wanting to be excluded from this nonsense. And excluded from this nonsense. And there was me thinking the greatest threat to james bond was blofeld or scaramanga. I thought his greatest danger came from a terrifying psychopath intent on global domination or a stroking megalomaniac. Intent on global domination or a stroking megalomaniac. The word stroking megalomaniac. The word has probably been banned as well. It turns out that james bonds greatest foe is not scaramanga or blofeld. Its the writers who get to churn out this new rubbish and destroy his legacy. Now, to be fair to the legacy. Now, to be fair to the author, Charlie Higson, who is a very talented guy , the original very talented guy, the original author, ian fleming, did suggest that bond may have been centre left politically. Fair enough, left politically. Fair enough, but he wasnt woke. Was he beating people up, expanding human life on a whim, smoking and guzzling litres of martini manhandling women and shagging everything that moved doesnt sound very woke to me. Bond was flawed. He was dark , a bit of flawed. He was dark, a bit of a monster himself and highly entertaining. Unlike the woke entertaining. Unlike the woke james bond 2. 0, who is a bore fest and someone you can only dread getting stuck next to at a dinner party. Why change the character of bond at all . Especially with the original author now gone . Its my view author now gone . Its my view that art is sacred and untouchable , even if it emerges untouchable, even if it emerges as problematic for future generations. Books are like generations. Books are like Museum Pieces that further our understanding of the past and serve as a chronicle of the human story. Airbrushing them, tweaking them or in this case, completely rewriting them is, in my view, a chilling development. Whats next, art . Should we get the crayons out and give the mona lisa a better smile politically motivated authors with a narrative to sell shouldnt be going anywhere near the work of fleming and his iconic character of bond to make the notorious un pc bond suddenly woke fretting over diversity and pronouns is a profound act of cultural vandalism. All authors shouldnt be scoring political points when given the huge privilege and responsibility of writing new books about an iconic character. The best thing would be to stay out of politics altogether and just enter twayne readers with escapist stories that have universal appeal, like the originals. Universal appeal, like the originals. Im sick to death of this gold finger wagging, this new book is a thunderballs up. Im not reading any more of this stuff. Its for your eyes to only the woke bond. I say a doctor. No, no , no. Now let me doctor. No, no, no. Now let me say that Charlie Higson is a talented comedian and writer, and his young bond series have been very popular for he and his publishers would argue that theyve reshaped and reimagined bond for a modern world, and that bond would think that a lack of diversity is a bad thing or anachronistic. So all theyre trying to do is update bond and make him relevant to the modern world and make him more inclusive of that is their view. Its not mine. Inclusive of that is their view. Its not mine. What do you its not mine. What do you think, mark, at gbnews. Com woke bond. Yes or no . Lets get the views now of tonights top pundits. Deputy leader of ukip, rebecca jane, social policy analyst dr. Rakib ahsan and author and campaigner chris wilde. Well, chris, youve definitely penned an excellent book, a story of your own life. What do you think of this bond rewrite . Yeah , i just thought the yeah, i just thought the objective and for me, you know, when i as a kid growing up in care and you know, a kid on the streets, i looked up to characters like bond to inspire me, you know, to be that role model, that masculine role model who, you know , who became the hero. And i think, yeah, were at risk of losing these great characters and losing role models for young lads need now, you know, especially those on the streets, those involved in in gang crime and stuff. Its for me, its just i dont understand the objective of this andifs understand the objective of this and its just ridiculous. And its how far again, tonight its how far again, all tonight weve speaking about is how weve been speaking about is how far is too far . Far is too far . Well, its a great question. Im not sure theres an answer to it. Rebecca jane, the point about bond is hes edgy. Hes not pc. He cant go woke, he isnt woke. Isnt woke. No, exactly. You know, this is ridiculous. Theyre not is ridiculous. Theyre not trying to update late james bond. Theyre not trying to make him more modern. Theyre trying to rewrite history. And thats wrong because what they should be doing is they should be embracing it. You know, we are all living very much more all living in a very much more different world and we have come a and thank goodness a long way. And thank goodness for for some, we for that. But for some, we demonise everything. And unless demonise everything. And unless its this idealistic picture of this woke nonsense , its not this woke nonsense, its not okay. And its demonise and that has to stop. And who on earth is anybody to take such a classic like james bond and then decide to rewrite it themselves . Its absolutely if somebody came along and did that to my masterpiece, id be furious indeed. I mean, raqib youve been involved in a great organisation. Action dont divide us, but here we go with james bond , which a james bond, which was a universally character universally enjoyed character picking sides. You know, the bad guy is an ex tory mp, so surprise, surprise, who has dared to be critical of the bbc and climate alarmism. According to Charlie Higson, hes some kind of far right loon. No, absolutely. And i james bond is universally liked character. And universally liked character. And i think with this role remodelling, you could say , of remodelling, you could say, of james bond, it sounds deeply partisan to me. So in a sense, in trying to be inclusive , pro in trying to be inclusive, pro diversity, youre actually being quite exclusionary through this fundamental reordering of james bond and i think that this isnt about a slight ridge digging of his character. This is almost creating a whole new person in. So i think in a sense , a whole so i think in a sense, a whole new person with totally different personality traits and general views. So i dont feel general views. So i dont feel that this is so much a modernisation , but actually modernisation, but actually a rewriting of a of a traditional classic character. But rewriting of a of a traditional classic character. But but, chris, i mean, perhaps higson has got a point because you know, maybe bond has changed or hes an evolving character and hes an evolving character and he does find it odd that he goes to an event and its all middle aged white men. Perhaps bond does want to and perhaps bond does want to live in a diverse world that reflects modern society. Live in a diverse world that releeahnodern society. Live in a diverse world that releeah ,odern society. Live in a diverse world that releeah , idern society. Live in a diverse world that releeah , i listen, ciety. Live in a diverse world that releeah , i listen, iety. Live in a diverse world that releeah , i listen, i hear that. Yeah, i listen, i hear that. But again, you know what were all discussing here and were agreeing on this is a this is an iconic character. Its a fictional character. If you want to write, you know, a book about this new bond, then write something new. You dont need to take this old bond and, you know, reshape and remodel him to fit into this world, create a new character. Exactly. Yeah yeah. I mean, rebecca jane, whats next . James bond going to be using a condom or something . Oh, well, ill tell you whats next. Father whats coming next. Father christmas. Hes not going to allow male, you allow to be male, is he . You know, where were know, its. Thats where were going. It for years. Know, its. Thats where were goir know, it for years. Know, its. Thats where were goir know, were t for years. Know, its. Thats where were goir know, were to or years. Know, its. Thats where were goir know, were to goings. Know, its. Thats where were goirknow, were to going have in you know, were to going have in five years time children that identify as flamingos. We identify as flamingos. And we have them. It has to have to believe them. It has to stop. And you know, stuff like this is really subtle little stop. And you know, stuff like this i in really subtle little stop. And you know, stuff like this i in which lly subtle little stop. And you know, stuff like this i in which itsubtle little stop. And you know, stuff like this i in which its creepingle stop. And you know, stuff like this i in which its creeping into ways in which its creeping into our its becoming our world and its becoming normalised , and it just has to normalised, and it just has to end. We have to fight back end. We have to fight back against it. Go rewrite against it. Go and rewrite something a for book something else. Its a for book crying out loud. Yeah, its supposed to be escape yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its squeah. To be escape yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its squeah. Raqeeb. ;cape yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its supieah. Raqeeb. ;cape yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its sup i eah. Ra higson ape yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its supieah. Ra higson ise yeah. Crying out loud. Yeah, its supieah. Ra higson is definitely h. I mean, higson is definitely peddung i mean, higson is definitely peddling a narrative thats a very familiar one to the kind of nonh very familiar one to the kind of north london peroni drinking liberal elite , isnt he . You liberal elite, isnt he . You know, its the idea that the eus great brexit is terrible. The bbc is some kind of holier than thou organisation that can never be criticised. Im amazed the nhs wasnt mentioned as well i so so yeah, but but using james bond as a character to put forward that political agenda is wrong. Its incorrect to do that and i think that a guy, as far as saying that the character james bond and the films as well, theyre integral part of traditional british culture. Absolutely. I think all too often were actually seeing often what were actually seeing here, inclusive here, this isnt inclusive modernisation. Its actually a direct attack on what is, in my view, quite an important element point of British Literature and also british film. And i think that increasingly this i dont consider that to be particularly progressive either, in my view. Progressive either, in my view. Well, look, a fascinating debate. What do you think, margaret gbnews. Com. Have you read the book . Did you love it . Let me know. Put me straight if im wrong about coming up, wrong about this coming up, biden officials violated biden officials likely violated the over covid the First Amendment over covid censorship. Markle feels censorship. Meghan markle feels rejected by brits. Theres a surprise. California has passed surprise. California has passed a that could see parents a bill that could see parents punished dont accept punished if they dont accept their childs gender. And americans dont understand fish and chips will debate all of that with the queen of us showbiz, royal political showbiz, royal and political reporting schofield radio. Tomorrow on mark dolan tonight , tomorrow on mark dolan tonight, ill be joined by Sophie Ottaway , who was born Sophie Ottaway, who was born a boy before surgeons removed her reproductive organs and made her a girl. A girl. All of this was kept from her for years, she tells her. Incredible story tomorrow from. Incredible story tomorrow from. Nine james bond goes woke. That was my take at ten. The opinions are coming in thick and fast. Market gbnews. Com. James bond the most successful and popular film franchise in the history of cinema, says mark hickson. Pathetic has been nonentity. I pathetic has been nonentity. I think thats a little harsh on hickson , his best selling young hickson, his best selling young bond series did very well. Bond series did very well. However, its all about opinions, isnt it . Barbara says. Hi mark. I think Charlie Higson and his publishers are taking the p. Mal says james bond should be battling against the elite , against the world the elite, against the World Economic forum, against the show, against wokeist cetera. Et cetera. Thank you, mal. And richard says, dear mark, what you read out from this new book was extremely poor english not happy. There with the quality of writing. Last but not least on writing. Last but not least on this, mike says this latest rubbish is just another example of people jumping on the latest woke box ticking bandwagon, especially the rich and famous. Its an excuse for them to pat each other on the back, saying look how cool we are and how much we care. They dont give a toss , but they know if they toss, but they know if they dont toe the line and follow toss, but they know if they don narrative, line and follow toss, but they know if they don narrative, theirind follow toss, but they know if they don narrative, their career. Ow toss, but they know if they don narrative, their career isv the narrative, their career is oven the narrative, their career is over. Mike, you are so right. Keep dropping those truth bombs, folks. Mark at gbnews. Com its time now for us news with the queen of us showbiz royal and political reporting. Kinsey schofield. Kinsey, great to have you back on the show. And biden you back on the show. And biden , your president playing roughshod with the american First Amendment and free speech. I know, mark. I remember you were very outspoken about this at the time, but now here in the states, a federal court of appeals ruled on friday that the biden administra ation did likely infringe upon the First Amendment when it pressured big tech to remove what they consider what they considered false or misleading information i the decision from the fifth Circuit Court of appeals partly upheld an order from a louisiana federal judge that blocked multiple federal agencies from having actually having contact with social Media Companies like facebook, youtube and twitter for content moderation. For content moderation. Now, the judge wrote, it is true that the officials have an interest in engaging with social Media Companies , including on Media Companies, including on issues such as misinformation and election interference. But the government is not permitted to advance these interests to the extent that it engages in viewpoint suppression. The white house has responded, saying the doj is reviewing the courts decision in and will evaluate the options of this case. The biden administration, they have, i believe its ten days to seek a Supreme Court review of this ruling. Ruling. Now, listen, thats a shocking story, as is news that a Californian Assembly will take into account whether a parent affirms their childs gender identity. Elon musk affirms their childs gender identity. Elon musk has affirms their childs gender identity. Elon musk has been identity. Elon musk has been tweeting about this. Tell me more. More. Yeah. So the California State Assembly is the lower house of the california state legislature, and they just voted in favour of ab nine and five seven, which would require adding a question about parents affirming their childs chosen gender to help a judge make a decision about that parental custody. Additional criteria custody. Additional criteria involves the amount of a contact that a child would have with the parent. The nature of the contact and the health, welfare and safety of the child. I mean, obviously , mark, there is obviously, mark, there is pushback here in the state of california with opponents believing that this could be weaponized reporting, even going as far as to say that if they dont affirm their childs genden dont affirm their childs gender, they could be charged with abuse. The senate has with child abuse. The senate has already approved it. So its heading to Gavin Newsoms desk next. That is the governor of california, who we do suspect might slide in and try to replace joe biden if hes not capable of running for president. It could happen. Now, a blast it could happen. Now, a blast from the past. Kinsey, from the past. Kinsey, Condoleezza Rice , former Condoleezza Rice, former secretary of state in the United States, served president george bush. She states, served president george bush. She declares the war on terror has been won. Is she terror has been won. Is she right . Right . Is she right . I mean, honestly , mark, i would say honestly, mark, i would say yeah, thats right. I mean, the story here is that andrew neil ran into her. He wrote an article for the daily mail and said that when she was asked if we won the war on terror, we had won the war on terror, she that we she replied that broadly we had at comes to at least when it comes to islamic terrorism against the west. But i do agree with her because i feel like similar to your panel was saying tonight, were at war with each other here in the in the states. Its the democrats versus the republicans. Its tearing each other down, not really getting anything done for americans because theyre theyre at each others throats. So when i read that, i thought, you know, i think for the most part, shes probably right. Okay well, look, its good news, isnt it . And we need a bit of that. Have you ever had fish and chips here in the uk . Its my favourite i have. Its my favourite thing. And my second favourite thing. And my second favourite thing every sign outside thing is that every sign outside of pub says the worlds best of a pub says the worlds best fish chips. They all say fish and chips. They all say that everyone takes credit that not everyone takes credit for it. And you know what . Every time i leave the restaurant, im like, that. Those might just be the worlds best fish and chips. Understand that however, i understand that your are bit your fellow americans are a bit confused by fish and chips. Thats right. These are some reviews believe its reviews from, i believe its travelocity or one of those travel sites that the americans complaining about, travel sites that the americans complaining about , the texture complaining about, the texture of the chips, refusing to call them chips, wanting to call them fries, you know, just it i dont i cant take up for them, mark. Im ashamed. Im ashamed of my people. Well, listen , if you are well, listen, if you are anything to go by, america remains the greatest country in the world. Kinsey, thank you so much for juggling to the world. Kinsey, thank you so much forjuggling to be the world. Kinsey, thank you so much for juggling to be with the world. Kinsey, thank you so much forjuggling to be with us much for juggling to be with us tonight. Its a thrill to have you on, as always. And i cant wait to see in a weeks wait to see you in a weeks time.

Dont listen, is back at dont you . Listen, he is back at her majestys pleasure, and thats the most important thing. Sunak thats the most important thing. Sunak joins with maloney to tackle illegal immigration. The Prime Minister has joined forces with the italian pm to campaign for a crackdown on illegal migration. What do we think about this , rebecca . Jane, about this, rebecca . Jane, i know that its a really important issue for ukip stop the boats. Do you think that the pm is going to have to do it with the help of european leaders . Leaders . Well , i. Well, i. Well, i. Hes not going to do anything, is he . This is nonsense. Its more nonsensical. Bananas from rishi sunak. All he does is go and fly around the world and try and be nice to people and actually gets nothing done. Literal nothing. Hes cuddung done. Literal nothing. Hes cuddling up to georgina because obviously she is sort of what we want to do here in the uk and theyve done the whole and youre probably quite an admirer of melania, i would have thought. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. There are some of her policies that im like, shes a family values conservative, isnt she . She a isnt she . Yeah, she goes a little me, but little bit too far for me, but hes hes trying to appeal to that of us that centre right side of, of us by making it look like hes actually going to do something and by cuddling up to them, hes not to going anything. And not to going do anything. And the that hes trying to do the fact that hes trying to do this whole trade deal with india , i just think hes absolutely hes gone on record and says that he wants to move there and he wants to, you know, what is he wants to, you know, what is he doing it for . So you think hes got a conflict of interest negotiating a trade deal with india, a complete and utter puppet. But wait a minute. Youre the biggest brexiteer of all. Surely you should be salivating at the idea of a trade deal with india and its population of a billion people. I dont i dont trust a thing that he does or a thing that he actually says. I think that what needs to happen is that somebody who actually genuinely believes in to needs in what we want to achieve needs to is not to be in power. And he is not the because hes being controlled. What do you think what do you think about this rakib interesting intervention from lord sumption this week , lord sumption this week, formerly the countrys top lawyer saying that with a heavy heart , he thinks that britain heart, he thinks that britain should leave the European Convention human rights in convention on human rights in order to stop the boats. Well, it would be would be a very it would be it would be a very dramatic development. It would be it would be a very dramatitheevelopment. It would be it would be a very dramatithe realityient. It would be it would be a very dramatithe reality isit. It would be it would be a very dramatithe reality is that the but the reality is that the echr r has has fundamental intervened in the democratic , intervened in the democratic, fully elected uk governments immigration and asylum policy. So i think there is a there is a discussion about how much National Sovereignty do we truly have when it comes to immigration and asylum in the post brexit context. But you not think the echr but do you not think the echr has political football has been a political football and do you not think that given its advisory court, we could its an advisory court, we could ignore it anyway . Well , the reality is that well, the reality is that its been able to thwart that immigration and asylum policies that the uk government is looking to implement. I believe that it grounded the first flight which intended for flight which was intended for rwanda. Now listen, i think we can have a separate debate in terms of how do you really tackle the illegal immigration, especially the small boats emergency. Yeah sunak pledged to stop the boats. I was one of his stop the boats. I was one of his five main pledges at the moment hes failing. It five times over. Oven hes. He failing hes. He is failing miserably. Chris, what do you think about i for me, theres yeah, i just for me, theres no solutions. And im kind of intrigued to see you think. Intrigued to see what you think. In particular, mean, what what in particular, i mean, what what are solutions and what are are the solutions and what are we do . And its just, we going to do . And its just, i think, a big thing. If you allow me to make mark, if you allow me to make this i think that think this point, i think that i think its me that the its very clear to me that the line genuine refugees its very clear to me that the line economicgenuine refugees its very clear to me that the line economic migrant refugees its very clear to me that the line economic migrant hasjees its very clear to me that the line economic migrant has become and economic migrant has become increasingly blurred in recent times. So now the government is times. So now the government is very good saying believe very good at saying we believe this an illegal migrant, but this is an illegal migrant, but they have to offer , you know, they have to offer, you know, their on what constitutes their view on what constitutes a genuine refugee, because what it does , it strengthens does, then it strengthens their own standards. Own moral standards. Screening. Better screening. Better screening. Absolutely. And think absolutely. And i think they need have clear need to have very clear categories in terms who they categories in terms of who they believe worlds most persecuted. So people are talking about creating routes. Creating safe and legal routes. Cant that. Cant argue with that. Well a million, 1. 2 Million People will enter the country safely and legally. So those legally. Last year. So those routes exist . Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they do. And this is a problem. So how you solve problem. So how do you solve it . Its simple. So obviously problem. So how do you solve it . Its goneimple. So obviously problem. So how do you solve it . Its gone a ple. So obviously problem. So how do you solve it . Its gone a little o obviously problem. So how do you solve it . Its gone a little bit bviously problem. So how do you solve it . Its gone a little bit off usly weve gone a little bit off tangent here. You have a hard border dont let border in the sea. You dont let them shore. You stop them get to shore. You stop sending all of our money to all of these different countries. That you how do you do that though . Without i well, without breaking international without International Law and without suffering globally and suffering sanctions globally and possibly public humiliation. No , we have to do something no, we have to do something because we are in crisis. We have to start looking after our own country and our people that are here now. This is not about are here now. This is not about race and its not about i didnt say that we even go there. Im sorry, but i work with kids who come off these boats and im sorry, you know, the persecution cases, persecution are genuine cases, are little bit. Are a little bit. Well, they are completely, utterly different. But the problem genuine problem is those genuine cases are completely we. Whats are being completely we. Whats the word that im looking for . Ill make this point mainly with the small boats emergency. Its primarily adult males. Yeah. Okay and ill make this point that women and children at serious risk of Sexual Violence in their own homelands and insecure displacement camps that are being left by the wayside. Are being left by the wayside. Barden hear the government talking about that. Either so the point im making is if the Government Point that government made the point that we are the worlds we believe these are the worlds most peoples, the most persecuted peoples, the most persecuted peoples, the most these most vulnerable groups, these are are the groups that we are these are the groups that we want to but at the moment, want to help. But at the moment, were able because we were not able to because we havent overburdened the asylum system going havent overburdened the asylum system the going havent overburdened the asylum system the boats going on with the small boats emergency. They have a bit emergency. Maybe they have a bit more credibility on the issue. What is wrong with with rule what is wrong with with a rule that break the law that says if you break the law and the country illegally, and enter the country illegally, you not be granted asylum . You will not be granted asylum . What i you know, yeah, but what is i you know, when people come here, they think theyre getting nothing. That within the and ive seen that within the homes. Seen this the homes. Ive seen this with the young people, albanian boys young people, the albanian boys in got the in particular. Anfields got the highest amount of refugee albanian boys. Are there albanian boys. Why are there refugee albanians given that albania is a peaceful country, albania is a peaceful country, albania , to be fair, has an albania, to be fair, has an experienced a conflict since the 1990s. Germany, germany and sweden have been refusing albania for many years , and yet we have not many years, and yet we have not kept a lid on this problem. Now local Police Authorities are saying that many drug gangs are saying that many drug gangs are now run by albanians. Now that doesnt mean that many albanians, come here albanians, that come here are amazing many them amazing and many of them are watching the and love watching the show. And i love albania, but they shouldnt be perhaps the law and perhaps breaking the law and crossing the channel. I dont believe so. No, i dont believe so. Listen. And you know, get listen. And you know, you get boys eritrea and listen. And you know, you get boys do eritrea and listen. And you know, you get boys do come eritrea and listen. And you know, you get boys do come from eritrea and listen. And you know, you get boys do come from from and listen. And you know, you get boys do come from from war they do come from from war stricken countries and they deserve the right here, deserve the right to be here, to be and thats where be kept safe. And thats where there conflict. There is there is a conflict. There is a dichotomy, cant look dichotomy, but we cant look after the people in our country. Oh, stop, that. Can, but oh, stop, stop that. We can, but we cant. Were not that. Our were not doing that. Our country we are country is broken. We are completely country is broken. We are conand ely country is broken. We are conand we get more and more. I say, mark, you made one good when you actually good point. When you actually look at asylum claims from albanian the albanian nationals, the acceptance higher in albanian nationals, the acc yep. Yeah yep.

See you in two. Well, listen. Lots of emails well, listen. Lots of emails coming in thick and fast, but let me kick off with before we get to that, another of our front pages. And it is the sunday times with an extraordinary story spotted by producer cal earlier in the day. Commons spy arrested commons china sees spy arrested a british researcher who had links to mps with classified information has been arrested.

Closer than expected, 64. 4 say no, it should not be classified as a Mental Health condition whilst 35. 6 say it should. So pretty marginal victory there for those who say its not a disease. Okay, brilliant stuff. Disease. Okay, brilliant stuff. A few more stories to get through. And i just mentioned through. And i just mentioned this before the break because weve got a front page headline about slavery , royal family to about slavery, royal family to face demand to pay reparations for the slave trade. This happens concurrently with another story , which is that another story, which is that more than 100 of britains most well off families have signed up to a campaign to provide reparations for slavery. Heirs of slavery was founded by Laura Trevelyan, a former bbc correspondent who has pledged £100,000 of her own money to Fund Projects aimed at helping the descendants of slaves in granada , where her aristocratic granada, where her aristocratic forebear has owned plantations. Forebear has owned plantations. So is this the right thing to do, rebecca jane no. Do, rebecca jane no. Sorry. Sorry. Um , i really actually angers um, i really actually angers me. How long. And ive had this conversation on the sofa before. How long are we going to keep apologising for the past . Weve well and truly apologised for it. We know what will happen. We put your money your we put your money where your mouth when theyre mouth is wrong, but when theyre talking about this, do they not realise problems that realise how many problems that weve with the weve actually got with the youth today . Youth that are here today . I know that youll and i know that youll support me on rebecca. Im interrupt you im going to interrupt you because microphone. So. Oh, let me. Its on your so. Oh, let me. Its on your lap. Do mind reinstalling lap. So do you mind reinstalling it . I hate to get you to give me a sound engineer. A your own sound engineer. I wont. Wont with wont. I wont interfere with it. Chris wild. Yes. What do you think about this story . Think think about this story . I think that is just trying that this woman is just trying to get rid of her sort of middle class white guilt. Yeah yeah, absolutely. I mean, a tread cautiously here, but it just i do actually agree with the panel tonight. Just but you know, how how long do we have to apologise for . And ive be interested because i know this is only your sector as well. But what use is an apology without some hard cash . Well, thats true. But were very this country, very good at in this country, arent we just giving cash out in of apologies . In forms of apologies . Its it just weve to draw an just seems weve got to draw an end it at some point and just end to it at some point and just kind you know, living. Sorry kind of, you know, living. Sorry about kind of, you know, living. Sorry aboit kind of, you know, living. Sorry aboi think need move in a i think we need to move in a in a slightly different direction. Like this direction. I i dont like this approach. If truth be told, i do want to see commonwealth countries engage in more trade and investment activity. Liz and and investment activity. Liz and that could be helpful in terms of stimulating and facilitating the Economic Development of small states in the commonwealth, especially in the canbbean commonwealth, especially in the caribbean region. I think we should argument right. Should make that argument right. So what we do is make so what we do is we make amends past with a more amends for the past with a more constructive relationship, dramatically economically. Yeah. So you know what happen in the past with the british empire. Lets have a sort of renewal of our economic relations across the commonwealth, which is a voluntary association of nations. But trevelyan would argue that what shes trying to do , that what shes trying to do, shes very generous, right . Shes shes going to cough up 100 grand of her own money and what shes trying to do is help communities that can be directly unked communities that can be directly linked to the slavery trade and the devastation that it brought. She wants to make amends. Its white guilt, isnt it . Its white guilt, isnt it . Hes 100. Its white guilt, isnt it . Hes100. Its its white guilt, isnt it . Hes 100. Its white its white guilt, isnt it . Hes100. Its white guilt. Good for her. But actually, there are so many kids here, obviously. I was saying before, there are so many kids here that need support and they need help and they need Economic Growth need support and they need help and everythingEconomic Growth need support and they need help and everything else. Mic growth need support and they need help and everything else. Thisgrowth and everything else. This has been a topic and a discussion for a very long time and for a very, very long time and we have to stop apologising. We have to start afresh. Perhaps, these perhaps, perhaps these aristocrats should have white guilt. Guilt. Well, i think that in terms of this white guilt, its just simply, oh, well just give away , you know, a bit of this. Wheres the you know, i think its arrogant as well. I think what you need you need a more payment from people that didnt do slavery to a community that didnt slavery. Do slavery to a community that did but slavery. Do slavery to a community that did but thats slavery. Do slavery to a community that did but thats a slavery. Do slavery to a community that did but thats a bitlavery. Do slavery to a community that did but thats a bit strange. But thats a bit strange. Also i dont think this is constructive and its not sustainable when it comes to Economic Development those Economic Development in those former colonies either. Okay.
