In other news, the campaign against anti semitism is calling for the met police to chief resign or be sacked over the forces handling of pro palestinian demonstrations after an officer used the terms openly jewish to describe an anti semitism activist , gideon falter was activist, gideon falter was stopped from crossing a road near a pro palestinian march by the officer, who described him as quite openly jewish. The force has since apologised twice. The policing minister will meet the met Police Commissioner in the next week to discuss concerns about the officers comments. Today, pro israel demonstrators held a peaceful counter protest in Central London, called enough is enough. The group says hatred has no place on the streets of the caphal cant walk through Central London with a yarmulke on your head. No signs of any israeli flag or support for israel, or any views on on what may be going on in the middle east. But if youre not allowed to walk across the street in Central London because are openly london because you are openly jewish, then its time for the government to act. Itsjust government to act. Its just sad that its that it has come to this, that its now regarded as not completely safe for jewish people to walk in the streets of their own own own city and not only is it distressing and vile as their views are, the distressing thing, its also becoming becoming normalised. Becoming normalised. Meanwhile, pro Palestinian Protesters have been marching in sheffield demanding a ceasefire in gaza. Theyre accusing israel in gaza. Theyre accusing israel of using famine as a weapon of war, and criticised the government for continuing to arm the country. The palestine the country. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign also took aim at barclays bank, urging it to sever ties with companies which supply weapons and military equipment to israel. Military equipment to israel.

They come straight to my laptop mark gbnews. Com, and this show has a golden rule we dont do boring. Not on my watch. I just wont have it. A big two hours to come. The met police and Victoria Beckham at ten. But first my big opinion. Oh no. Labour have destroyed documents that could have revealed Angela Rayners living arrangement. Is that the same arrangement. Is that the same shredder that got rid of Nicola Sturgeon . Covid whatsapp sturgeon . Covid whatsapp messages . Why cant all important political documents stay in the cloud . Just like your holiday snaps from tenerife in 2011, when you had a bit of a beer belly and burnt arms . Its funny, isnt it, how these politicians get rid of any material that could bring them embarrassment or get them in trouble. If only we could do the same when filling out our tax returns. Sir same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir starmer same when filling out our tax returns. Sir keir starmer has been getting very butch lately. Last week he said that he would happily press the Nuclear Button. Bit of a u turn following his enthusiastic support for Jeremy Corbyn to become Prime Minister. Just a few short years ago, the same corbyn who wanted to get rid of Nuclear Weapons and refused to confirm that he would press the Nuclear Button if britain were under attack. Well, the latest is that starmer wants to build on the green belt, which many imagine is sunny pastures but much of which is in fact a glorified car park. Its rishi sunak who had to embarrassingly u turn with his own plans to build on the green belt following objections from local tories. So if a likely labour tories. So if a likely Labour Government is going to build baby build, then i say bring it on, get the spades out the concrete mixers and the diggers. Starmer the builder, can he fix it . Starmer the builder . Yes he can. We need more houses. Even a childrens cartoon character could tell you that now. I was on air last weekend when news broke that israel was under attack from iran with over 150 drones. It turns out that the vast majority of them were shot out of the sky. Thats the last time that the regime in tehran will buy their drones from argos. Meanwhile, israel, with one of the best equipped military in the best equipped military in the world, this week, responded rather conservative, launching a modest strike on iran with slightly better drones. Im guessing from john lewis. No guessing from john lewis. No reports of damage or casualties. Reports of damage or casualties. And lets be clear, as israel have demonstrated in recent months , they can cause damage if months, they can cause damage if they want to, but they chose not to. That is significant. Yes, this was a symbolic response, and i think measured. I think it was the right thing to do. A bit like when youre down the pub and you say to the bloke next to you, you spilled my pint and he says, well, you were looking at my girlfriend. Whilst tensions in middle grow by the in the middle east grow by the day, like this for tat day, it looks like this for tat war has played for now, and war has played out for now, and rather sparking world war rather than sparking world war iii, been a welcome iii, its been a welcome example of handbags at dawn. Come on lads, weve all had a drink. Its time everyone a its time for everyone to book a cab home. Who knew that cab and go home. Who knew that locking healthy , perfectly fit locking healthy, perfectly fit people up in their homes and paying people up in their homes and paying them to do nothing for three years in an attempt to stop a seasonal respiratory virus would turn the country into a bunch of layabouts. But even the Prime Minister who in a couple of months time is about to suffer his own bout of worklessness, is concerned about the millions of people who are now not active in the economy. Now not active in the economy. This is all fuelled, of course, by numpty gps doling out sick notes like mick jagger signing autographs at a concert. Its obvious that whilst some people really cannot work and must have our support , there are plenty of our support, there are plenty of others who are quite happy for the to state bankroll their lives. The problem is that if we all did that, the country would fall over. Its obviously not sustainable and i think youd find without such a generous safety net, those Mental Health issues would very quickly clear up. Having nothing to eat or having no roof over your head is likely to cure any feelings of doom and gloom as a result of too much time spent on twitter or instagram. The empathy and or instagram. The empathy and generosity of our welfare state, which i passionately believe in, are being exploited by too many people at your and my expense. People at your and my expense. Britain isnt working and eventually we will all pay the price. Lots of topics to debate price. Lots of topics to debate there. Your emails mark gbnews. Com ill get to your thoughts shortly. But first, tonights top pundits with me in the studio. Im delighted to have model and tv personality diana moran, political commentator Benedict Spence, and broadcaster and author nina myskow. Lovely to have all three of you with me. Happy saturday one and all. Happy saturday, nina myskow yes, i think lazy brits need a kick up the backside. Whats your view . There are genuinely people who are lazy and who have lived off the state for many years. Off the state for many years. Weve all known that its been, you know, decades ago. You could say that, but on the other hand, you know, we have to have compassion in society. We really do. We cant just just say everybodys, shiftless and working and smoking their dole money on the on the sofa while watching, you know, netflix and stuffing down doughnuts. Its life isnt like that. Were genuinely are in a cost of living crisis. And life is very, living crisis. And life is very, very hard for people. And i, i, i think that we, we have to, you know, have say compassion and look at it in a, in a, in a really , a more generous way. Really, a more generous way. Okay. Well, i think we have too much compassion. Diana moran. And i think the country is grinding to a halt. Whats your view . Well, i think your comment that you said empathy and generosity of welfare state generosity of the welfare state is being exploited. Thats my view of it, yes, of course, there are many people who have genuine reasons that they cant get to work, many of them long standing medical problems. But i think since covid that an awful lot of other people have decided its quite nice to stay at home. And if you say a few things and youve got a few mental few worries and the doctor gives you a note, then you can have a bit more time to yourself. And thats not right. As far as im concerned. Its not right for their mental state, because so many of them are saying theyve got mental problems to get out and about with people to work to literally get out the house, talk to other people , earn a bit talk to other people, earn a bit of money, bit of, you know, self pride again would lift peoples spirits , is going to work our spirits, is going to work our National Duty. Benedict spence oh National Duty i think it would help. It would depend if there was a bit more industry in this country. And there was actually, i think, a slightly more jobs. I know that theres often this thing that there are thing that said that there are lots jobs that need to be lots of jobs that need to be filled, why we need filled, and thats why we need mass but then when mass migration. But then when you at those you actually look at what those jobs they subsistence jobs are, they are subsistence level are, you know, level jobs. They are, you know, minimum what minimum wage jobs. What were looking million looking at is a million vacancies moment. Vacancies at the moment. Filled why arent they being filled by work . The by people who could work . The prime said that Prime Minister has said that its reasonable to imagine its not reasonable to imagine that three times sicker that we are three times sicker than we were years ago. Than we were ten years ago. This, to has the makings of this, to me, has the makings of a national scandal. Think if increase the i think if you increase the wages on offer for a lot of these jobs, actually, i think youd that lot of people youd find that a lot of people who currently on long terms who are currently on long terms sick actually sick would discover actually they work. They were motivated to work. Again. That is again. I think that that is ultimately boils down ultimately what it boils down to. Think does play to. And i think it does play into conversations mental into conversations around Mental Health course, if health as well. Of course, if youre no money and you are youre paid no money and you are unable and unable unable to save and unable to better youre going better yourself, youre going to better yourself, youre going to be very fragile be in a very sort of fragile mental state. Nobody wants that at think that the at all. And i think that the nature that we have nature of the jobs that we have now, menial work. Its not now, its menial work. Its not where you, know, upon where you, you know, once upon a time were, time mining or steelworks were, you jobs. You know, they were hard jobs. They easy. But there they were not easy. But there was a of community. There was a sense of community. There was a sense of community. There was sense camaraderie. You was a sense of camaraderie. You could to a lot of those towns could go to a lot of those towns now that doesnt anymore. Now that doesnt exist anymore. Thats where you see a lot of tough thats where you see a lot of tou tough i mean, you have tough luck . I mean, you have a choice, dont nina . A choice, dont you, nina . Youve whole career. Youve worked your whole career. I rather or £8 an i would rather earn 7 or £8 an hour than sit home and do nothing. Well, i so well, diane and i are prime examples of people who have whove long past our have whove worked long past our supposed by date, if you supposed sell by date, if you dont mind my saying. Point youll be well, at some point youll be 65 and have to consider retirement. But but the is, but but but the thing is, there other there are also other constrictions on people. There are many single mothers with children cannot afford the childcare. I know theres been big gestures about childcare, but you cant, so they cant afford to go out to work because they cant afford the childcare. They cant afford the childcare. I dont think were worried about though, are we . About mums though, are we . We are. Worried no we are. Were worried about all people. Were about all sorts of people. Were worried all sorts of worried about all sorts of people. Also people. And the thing is also when talking when were talking about sickness, completely sickness, were completely ignonng sickness, were completely ignoring long covid now, long covid, you know, not quite a Million People are supposed to have long covid. And its a genuine thing. Its a genuine thing. You cant you cannot ignore if youre ignore it. And if youre completely, totally fatigued and you out of you cannot even get out of bed or up a stair steps or climb up a stair of steps without having sit down, then without having to sit down, then , then that is not how are you going to work right . In the end, ultimately, but in the end, ultimately, benedict rishi sunak is a former chancellor and hes a money man and hes looked at the spreadsheets and hes looked at the bottom line, knows the bottom line, and he knows that not sustaina
