10:05 pm
pages and live reaction in the studio from my top pundits. so a packed hour to come. the papers are on their way. and look at tonight's pundits. we have linda jubilee , simon danczuk and neil jubilee, simon danczuk and neil hamilton. so lots to get through. those papers are on the way. the first my take . at ten way. the first my take. at ten whilst war rages on the other side of the world, we've discovered the hatred of israel and the hatred of jews is not exclusive to the middle east and is firmly established, institutionalised , even if you institutionalised, even if you like, in modern britain . now like, in modern britain. now i've got no doubt that many marched in peace this weekend seeking an end to the deaths in gaza. everyone of course, a tragedy. and they want peace and a two state solution . but many a two state solution. but many on those marches and many in this country do not. if you're calling for a holy war, an intifada, which means suissa side bombs on buses and in restaurant tents, if you're
10:06 pm
chanting from the river to the sea, it's a no state solution that you're after. you're seeking the elimination of israel . seeking the elimination of israel. imagine a march in which people called for the elimination of gaza for romania or oh, wait a minute, ukraine. people did get worked up about that, didn't they? and rightly so . so why not israel ? it's so. so why not israel? it's a sick irony that israel's great crime was the crime committed against it on october the 7th, which it's easy to forget, saw the gunning down of 260 revellers at a peace festival and the beheading of babies . in and the beheading of babies. in the end, i don't want to condemn those who marched this weekend though, to do so on armistice day and on remembrance sunday is inherently disrespectful , all inherently disrespectful, all taking the limelight away from our fallen war dead . could they our fallen war dead. could they not have two days in the year? is that too much to ask ? but i is that too much to ask? but i do think those on the marches, though well—meaning , are hamas's
10:07 pm
though well—meaning, are hamas's useful idiots. don't forget these marches are provably unkedin these marches are provably linked in part to hamas supporters , including a former supporters, including a former hamas terror chief who now lives in a council house in london, which he purchased via the right to buy scheme. so at least he's a fan of margaret thatcher calling for a ceasefire. is calling for a ceasefire. is calling for a ceasefire. is calling for israel to surrender to future terror attacks , to future terror attacks, something hamas have said that they will do over and over again. a ceasefire is telling israel to suck it up. not a very kind message from the be kind crowd who populated the marches. this weekend and reported on them in glowing terms via social media. what saddens me most . them in glowing terms via social media. what saddens me most. is not just people's naivety, ignorance of history, lack of understanding of middle—eastern politics, their lack of empathy for what happened to israel . his for what happened to israel. his on the 7th of october, or how life has felt for jews living in britain since then , or what britain since then, or what bothers me most is , is that this
10:08 pm
bothers me most is, is that this take at ten should be about remember , it's sunday and remember, it's sunday and instead it's about the considerable number of people who live among us who support terror and who support genocide and reject the british values of decency. dumas theocracy, freedom and the rule of law. if you're chanting from the river to the sea or calling for the elimination of one group of people based on their religion and race, you do not share the values for which the soldiers of world war i and world war ii over a million of them gave their lives this weekend, with jews being escorted via security out of synagogues, with jewish homes being sprayed with paint, and with military veterans told to not wear their medals on pubuc to not wear their medals on public transport so as not to cause trouble or offence , you cause trouble or offence, you have to wonder whether the war heroes we remember this weekend died in vain as they fought for
10:09 pm
our values abroad. it seems this generation will have to fight for them . here and is on the for them. here and is on the way. but let's get reaction to my take at ten. first of all, your emails, please. mark at gb news dot com with me tonight. my top pundits, journalist and broadcaster linda jubilee, the leader of ukip , neil hamilton, leader of ukip, neil hamilton, and former labour mp simon danczuk simon, your reaction to what you've seen this weekend ? what you've seen this weekend? >> and oh, i think it's appalling. >> we have so many people coming onto the streets of london who just do not understand that it's inappropriate for them to be there. you would have thought that there would have been more respectful and then within that large group of people, we have a small minority who are there to cause trouble, who are there to support terrorism, to support hamas . and that's even more hamas. and that's even more concerning. but in response to your question about whether our
10:10 pm
people, our soldiers, died in vain, i think the answer is no. but we are on a precipice . and i but we are on a precipice. and i think we need to dismantle multiculturalism and rebuild patriotism in this country. >> but simon, can multiculturalism be dismantled? well i think there's a process to go through. >> i think it is a real challenge for this country. it involves how we teach history in our schools. it's about how we get our police forces to police our streets . it's how we get our streets. it's how we get police , local leadership from police, local leadership from our politicians ins. so it's a real challenge. but i think we have to start addressing it. we're on a precipice briefly. >> simon do you know any politicians who will address these challenges? is rishi sunak these challenges? is rishi sunak the man to do it? is keir starmer the man to do it? >> well, i think suella braverman might be the woman to do think she's been right braverman might be the woman to dothe think she's been right braverman might be the woman to dothe way1k she's been right braverman might be the woman to dothe way that e's been right braverman might be the woman to dothe way that she'seen right braverman might be the woman to dothe way that she's beenjht in the way that she's been talking issues and talking about these issues and i think could provide the think she could provide the leadership that this country is desperately looking for on these
10:11 pm
issues. astonishing. >> you speak as former >> and you speak as a former labour mp . what what do you labour mp. what what do you think about all of this? do you think about all of this? do you think that our war heroes died in vain? linda well, i think that it could have been an idea to have these this particular protest march on a different day. >> that might have been a sensible idea. but do you know what? i read something really interesting in the week about a woman celia webster, woman called celia webster, who's very committed who's a very committed christian who's a very committed christian who march on who went on the march on saturday, father was saturday, whose father was a military man and landed on the beachesin military man and landed on the beaches in the d—day landings. and marched all his way across europe then liberated the europe and then liberated the inmates at belsen. she's a committed christian and has strong affiliations with the jewish community, and she went on that march. so the thing is, there's a component of people on these marches who are hate filled. that's true. but you could look at all of this another way and you could say, well, that's what soldiers fought and fell for it in the first world war and the second world war. not just freedom, but freedom of speech. and we should
10:12 pm
be able to defend that. now, i say someone who was say that as someone who was standing the centre of my standing in the centre of my town this morning listening to the of the fallen in both the names of the fallen in both world wars being read out, we heard the last post being played . i went mass this morning. . i went to mass this morning. there more remembrances there were more remembrances there and, you know, we lost our teachers and some of our sixth form in school . so we form boys in my school. so we take it very, very seriously. it's not that don't take this it's not that i don't take this seriously, i think there is seriously, but i think there is room the thought that people room for the thought that people some there were marching some people there were marching just because they were outraged at what was going on. >> yeah, neil, fascinating set of comments from linda and from simon there. when we talk about multiculturalism and the problems with it, it's not an objection, is it, to a diverse society ? it's an objection to society? it's an objection to community that are unable to integrate parallel communities who this weekend have demonstrated that there aren't just different languages and cultures, but different values as well. well multiculturalism
10:13 pm
isn't monoculture is living side by side and having nothing in common with one another. >> and what we've seen this weekend is actually a reflection of that. you know, there are lots of people who are on that march who don't feel themselves in any way to be british, have no affinity with the values that you and i grew up with. and have no interest in remembrance day, which should be the most sacred and solemn day in the year over two world wars and many conflicts in between. and subsequently, you know, millions of our own countrymen and women died , died in order to preserve died, died in order to preserve our independence as a nation. and the cultural values that we still espouse , freedom of still espouse, freedom of speech, of course , is not speech, of course, is not without its limits. and i do believe that this weekend has been one . where for the health been one. where for the health of the nation, as a focus of unity, we should be able to come
10:14 pm
together to remember the sacrifices of those who gave their lives for the freedoms that we perhaps have all too readily taken for granted and which are now under threat from totalitarians and extremists of the kind that we've seen on the streets over the weekend. you were quite right to say that these marches are actually either deliberately or unconscious . really? actually, unconscious. really? actually, pro— hamas unconscious. really? actually, pro—hamas , because the only pro—hamas, because the only group that would benefit from a ceasefire would be hamas, gaza is effectively a terrorist state and it is an armed camp where extremists who are basically fundamentally religious lunatics are determined to annihilate the state of israel and to perform acts of genocide on its people. how anybody could possibly put himself or herself in a position where wittingly or unwittingly they could be used as a propaganda tools to be manipulated by those who believe
10:15 pm
in those appalling and grotesque objectives is beyond me. >> indeed , and woke middle class >> indeed, and woke middle class people in london who have been to pret a manger have joined those marches . hamas is useful those marches. hamas is useful idiots in my view, but let me know your thoughts. mark gb news.com listen, we've got a developing story which is that the home secretary has added a bit of fuel to the fire, which she likes to do today . she's she likes to do today. she's been on social media and she has said that these marches are polluting britain's streets. that's a new line from the home secretary. and as pressure grows on suella braverman, should she stay or should she go? i'll be asking. tonight's newsmaker, former home office minister ann widdecombe. who's next? plus, the papers are on the way. see you
10:16 pm
10:17 pm
10:18 pm
>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> listen, folks, the emails are coming in thick and fast. big reaction to my take at ten. did our war heroes die in vain ,
10:19 pm
our war heroes die in vain, given the hate we're seeing on britain's streets now? look strong reaction on email and i said in the take at ten, there are plenty of people who have gone on those marches in peace. they want the war to end. we all want the war to end. but if you're calling for a ceasefire, you're calling for a ceasefire, you are saying to israel, suck it let's have look it up anyway. let's have a look at emails before i get to at your emails before i get to ann widdecombe. steve says suella braverman should stay and stand as leader of the conservative party. tracey highmark never hear calls to highmark we never hear calls to stop terror or hamas, do we? suella should keep her job. and i had lovely remember this day in my local town of chesterfield . lucky you, tracy . this is . lucky you, tracy. this is britain . we're letting our britain. we're letting our nafion britain. we're letting our nation down, says kieran. these thugs and anti—semites are taking over the country. kieran there in the lovely county of cumbria . of course, the home cumbria. of course, the home secretary should stay . she's secretary should stay. she's only saying what the prime minister is scared to say. says who was that? jeff. thank you, jeff. and suella is the only one who says it like it is, says
10:20 pm
kathy priti patel tried and was unsuccessful. keep those emails coming. it's time now for the newsmaker . suella braverman has newsmaker. suella braverman has said that weekly pro—palestinian marches have polluted the streets with hate , which cannot streets with hate, which cannot go on. the home secretary claimed london streets have been used to valorise terrorism and further action was necessary . further action was necessary. mrs. braverman said some of the placards and chants in evidence on saturday's march in the centre of the capital were clearly criminal. all her words raised the prospect that she could be under pressure, putting police under pressure to ban the marches . and of course the prime marches. and of course the prime minister is under pressure to sack her. so should she stay or should she go? let's ask tonight's newsmaker from her home office, minister and broadcaster ann widdecombe. and great to see you again. you know, politics inside out, the drama, the egos . what is suella drama, the egos. what is suella game here? what's she up to? >> oh, i think she possibly is
10:21 pm
on manoeuvres, but i also think she's totally convinced by what she's totally convinced by what she's saying. >> she believes in what she is saying and i think that the further comments that she has made is very simply a warning to the prime minister that she she won't be shut up. she won't be kept quiet. she's going to go on saying what says. but you know why are we handing or why is the government handing the police the ability for the response ability for stopping the marches? it would be so easy to pass a law and it could have been done this week as an emergency measure to pass as an emergency measure to pass a law that says that on armistice day and on remembrance sunday, where they're separatists, they usually are. is there will be no marches in any course at all, not even those that i passionately believe in. or are you passionately believe in? yeah no, not at all. and that the veterans will be the only show in well , indeed, sadly, veterans will be the only show in well, indeed, sadly, you're >> well, indeed, sadly, you're not the home secretary . and as not the home secretary. and as just mentioned there, that
10:22 pm
suella braverman has said this is a developing story. just today said these marches today she said these marches have polluted britain's streets. that's right. polluted and she's called them hate marches . as we called them hate marches. as we know, she previously called the illegal crossings an invasion. is this language appropriate, an for home secretary >> oh, the language is perfectly appropriate. but as you know, my big problem with suella is that she says all the right things. i've never yet disagreed with anything she said, but she doesn't deliver, you know, and it's all very well about invasions. but is she going to do about the invasion? how is she resist the invasion she going to resist the invasion ? how is she going to repel the invasion? well, the answer is not. know, so that the not. you know, so that is the big problem. worry about big problem. don't worry about her i worry about her her language. i worry about her inactivity. yes >> and actually, i nicked that line from you just a couple of days ago. in my big opinion monologue, where my main criticism of braverman is that she's all mouth and no trousers . she's all mouth and no trousers. but let's talk about these marches . and if they continue
10:23 pm
marches. and if they continue every weekend for the foreseeable , does this pose the foreseeable, does this pose the authorities with a dilemma? braverman has referred to further action to deal with them. what might that look like ? them. what might that look like? >> well, i think well, there are banners which are very clearly inspired by hate. i mean, where you've got anti—semitic banners, where you've had anti—semitic chants, then those things are quite clearly unlawful and the police should act . and of course police should act. and of course they don't because they want to be specific. they want to be diplomatic. and they say they don't act. they don't often act, they don't act as often as they should. yeah, but i think quite right both with just stop right that both with just stop oil, which is a very different situation, do make life situation, but they do make life impossible ambulances , for impossible for ambulances, for emergency vehicles, for ordinary citizens. just stop oil and now the continue jude pro—palestinian marches or pro i would say hamas marches. quite honestly that i think you do say you know, enough is enough. and
10:24 pm
i think suella is right where you've got hate banners and not all of them are like that. but where you've got hate banners, thatis where you've got hate banners, that is polluting the streets of london. she's got dead right. london. she's got it dead right. >> and let's talk about police bias. that's another allegation made by suella braverman in her times article . well, this week, times article. well, this week, in terms of how they handled the protests, different with protests, very different with blm extinction rebellion blm and extinction rebellion versus the lockdown, protesters , versus the lockdown, protesters, let me quote for you an an anonymous police officer writing in today's mail on sunday newspaper , james and josh, if newspaper, james and josh, if you've got that full frame graphic, brilliant stuff, here's what this person wrote it serving police officer suella was right. it's obvious to me and many fellow officers there is a clear bias in policing in this playing favourites is a symptom of years of wokery and political correctness that have completely transformed the culture of the met's police and which mean the force cannot cope any longer with disputes that involve inter—ethnic conflict .
10:25 pm
involve inter—ethnic conflict. put simply, senior officers are terrified of being accused of racism if they fully enforce the law against pro—palestinian protest posters. now, thanks to professor matthew goodwin for finding that quote on twitter earlier. do you share this? serving officers concerns about the culture of british policing? yes i do. >> and i think he's absolutely right to say that the met and i mean police in general across the country are paralysed by the fear of being called racist. it's affecting stop and search. it's affecting stop and search. it affects the actions that were taken in rotherham where young girls were abandoned because the police were terrified they were going to be accused of racism. they are afraid of that. and my line is we've got to get back to the police as being completely neutral. they don't wear a rainbow shoelace . they don't rainbow shoelace. they don't wear any symbols other than a poppy- they wear any symbols other than a poppy. they don't wear any symbols which are not part of
10:26 pm
the uniform . and the uniform the uniform. and the uniform itself is a declaration that they protect everybody. they don't just choose most definitely. >> and today was remembrance sunday they do you have family connection to the war? >> well, i think anybody in my age is going to say yes to that question. my uncle was a chaplain in monty's army in the desert . my father was at sea desert. my father was at sea deaung desert. my father was at sea dealing with naval armaments throughout the war. my mother, who never worked , she brought us who never worked, she brought us up, but my mother did war work in the war because she thought that was essential. yeah i don't think you'll speak to anybody of my age who won't be able to say my age who won't be able to say my mother or my father or my uncle or my aunt did such and such. well i salute your family members for their service to this country. >> and. and i thank for your >> and. and i thank you for your service to this and service to this show. and we look to you in look fonnard to seeing you in a week's be here week's time. i'll be here looking fonnard. what about that? three favourite words, looking fonnard. what about thaibrilliant ee favourite words, looking fonnard. what about thaibrilliant ee fawiddecombe. the brilliant ann widdecombe. always . listen, always a highlight. listen, folks, lots more highlights to come. excited because at

10:34 pm
well, the marches were quite far away from the cenotaph and remembrance because it's not physically where the march was or time wise , because they were or time wise, because they were starting at different times. >> they were several miles apart. it's amount of huge apart. it's the amount of huge discussion and debate and the headunes discussion and debate and the headlines , toxic headlines that headlines, toxic headlines that have about this. you have gone on about this. you kept control of the situation. >> it could be that it and i'm not saying it is this, but it could be sunak and braverman being really machiavellian here. >> they've let the protest go ahead. it's shown us in truth that it these people just don't buy into our british values . buy into our british values. there's been an awful , awful there's been an awful, awful scenes as part of this protest. and now they're going to have legislation, emergency legislation, emergency legislation in the next few weeks. and that will really create a challenge for labour. and then that might actually be smart politics. >> i can't see it as a conspiracy. i'm a big fan of well, i'm not saying it's conspiracy. >> i'm saying it's just smart politics. they're going to old labour are going to have come
10:35 pm
labour are going to have to come out on side or the other, out on one side or the other, aren't they? >> most definitely. are. >> most definitely. they are. and think this and what do you think about this idea, just idea, neil, of not just a protection for remembrance sunday in future years , but what sunday in future years, but what about measures in about stricter measures in regards to these marches? because they could be happening every weekend for a long time to come? >> well, i think it's >> yeah. well, i think it's pretty depressing that we have to of a to impose upon to think of a law to impose upon people common decency ought people what common decency ought to quite naturally . just to require quite naturally. just goes to show as we were saying earlier on, that we no longer have a nation which cohesively believes in itself, as we used to do . but i do agree that there to do. but i do agree that there is an issue now if these marches are going to continue on a weekly basis and the scale that they have been, the disruption which is caused the lives of ordinary people, millions and millions of people in london and presumably elsewhere as well, we do need to ask ourselves whether there is actually a limit to the freedoms which we've taken for
10:36 pm
granted hitherto because nobody's right is inviolate, because you have to measure against the rights of one person, the rights of others which might be undermined or affected adversely by the way people are behaving. and we can't surely imagine that for the indefinite future, the centre of london is going to be paralysed by marches of this kind, regardless of the other issues which these marches raise about , you know, anti—semitism about, you know, anti—semitism and discrimination in and support for terrorism. et cetera. et cetera . those cetera. et cetera. those criminal offences are a different issue altogether. but i do think that we cannot have our capital city paralysed for an indefinite period by people whose fundamental aims are quite contrary to the liberal values that we have not just in britain but in the west generally. >> and we can't see the levels of anti—semitism which i've alluded to. terrible. >> if we had if we had six
10:37 pm
months of a year of this, you'd have to ask the jewish community how feel about that. how they'd feel about that. >> they >> how do they feel? >> how do they feel? >> it will be months. >> and it will be months. >> and it will be months. >> be arrests if >> there has to be arrests if perhaps we need stronger leadership police because leadership in the police because this cannot continue. there have to be arrests of those people who are quite clearly committing anti—semitism on the streets of london. >> well, simon, i mean, let's have that quote brilliant bit of journalism from the mail on sunday today. and this is a serving top level frontline cop, suella is right. it's obvious to me and many fellow officers there's a clear bias in policing . it goes on to say it's a symptom of years of wokery and political correctness that's completely transformed the culture of the met. the force cannot cope any longer with disputes that involve inter—ethnic conflict. put simply, senior officers are terrified of being accused of racism if they fully enforce the law. now, you saw this with the grooming gang scandal, you grooming gang scandal, which you helped attention to. helped to draw attention to. >> and i put >> absolutely. and i put a comment out on social media earlier this week, point out that when the police were left
10:38 pm
to indepen dent policing , uh, to indepen dent policing, uh, they get it wrong. and that's what they got wrong in the grooming scandal in rochdale where i was the mp in rotherham and elsewhere . the reason they and elsewhere. the reason they didn't make interventions is then was because they were afraid of being racist. and it appears that they're afraid of making interventions now on the streets of london because they don't to appear racist. it don't want to appear racist. it can not continue like this , but can not continue like this, but they did make 105 arrests, was they did make 105 arrests, was they mostly english? >> were they league? yes but but. >> but what is that telling you? well, the most serious offences committed that could be seen as police arresting people were committed by far right. counter—protesters, 105. >> but those were physical opposition . opposition. >> i'm not saying it is. >> i'm not saying it is. >> i'm not saying it is. >> i'm just people committing an anti anti—semitism . exactly. and anti anti—semitism. exactly. and nothing appears to be being done about it, including a guy captured on video in london this weekend saying hitler knew what he was doing with the jews and
10:39 pm
this chap not apprehended . this chap not apprehended. >> and now possibly he slipped through the net. but it is indicative, those figures you mentioned , the number of mentioned, the number of arrests, how many of those were preaching hate? that shows that not too many photograph in the papers today of holding papers today of somebody holding a of the israeli flag or a placard of the israeli flag or saying that israel equals auschwitz or gaza equals auschwitz or gaza equals auschwitz . auschwitz. >> yeah. and i mean, can you imagine anything more offensive than that? but it's not just the police , you know, the whole of police, you know, the whole of our governing class has actually been paralysed by wokery and the attitudes that we see at the top of the metropolitan police are being replicated throughout the whole government and the whole of government and the whole of government and the whole of government and the whole of business. you know, the de—banking example, de—banking scandal, for example, with farage is another with nigel farage is another example of this, where he is regarded as beyond the pale by this liberal minded collection of illiberal individuals who really want to close down views which are different from their own. >> i don't want to digress too
10:40 pm
much, but travis smith, the solicitors who actually did the report into the situation , said report into the situation, said actually they were commercially right to make that decision. the actual mistake was made in the communications of that's absolutely nonsense. well i'm only reporting what travis smith we know we know from all the emails with nigel managed to extract page one lead in the financial times last. >> well that's just the opinion of solicitors . look at the of solicitors. look at the emails which were produced as a result of the freedom of information request of the comments were made by the comments which were made by the banks this is the banks employees. this is the inquiry, but that's just you've just quoted the views of a firm of solicitors that's conducted the official. but that's that's an opinion the of an opinion of the firm of solicitors. at the emails solicitors. look at the emails and see what were the and to see what were the motivations . motivations. >> dame alison rose gone >> why has dame alison rose gone and not even got her bonus? >> , she's because the >> well, she's gone because the mistake made made by the mistake was made made by the reputation , the actual reputation committee, the actual commercial decision to start with. it's nothing to do with the commercial decision. >> and also, was it appropriate for the to compile for the bank to compile a dossier which had 80 references
10:41 pm
to brexit on a regular basis? >> it was, are you telling me that it was wrong? >> it was my reputation. >> it was my reputation. >> you've rattled, >> listen, you've rattled, you've cage. you've rattled neil's cage. >> nonsense . i mean, >> it's utter nonsense. i mean, what possible difference could it to bottom line of it make to the bottom line of national westminster bank, whether farage whether they have nigel farage as or not? as a customer or not? >> may not make any >> it may not make any difference, but that's what you're it. no, you're saying to do it. no, i didn't say that. >> okay. well, listen, i'll tell you talking about money, >> okay. well, listen, i'll tell you britain'alking about money, >> okay. well, listen, i'll tell you britain afford about money, >> okay. well, listen, i'll tell you britain afford taxmt money, >> okay. well, listen, i'll tell you britain afford tax cuts?)ney, can britain afford tax cuts? because saying, jeremy because the ai is saying, jeremy hunt pre hunt simon considers pre christmas tax cuts to lift tory gloom will not be i would not be surprised that. surprised by that. >> i there are they will >> i think there are they will make some cuts in the autumn statement which we're anticipating before the end of the month. some cuts that will bnng the month. some cuts that will bring some cheer to some people. but i mean taxes are still incredibly high in the united kingdom, whether you're an individual or a business. >> also they're talking, >> and also they're talking, neal >> and also they're talking, neal, about cuts to stamp duty and inheritance tax. that's not going help of my viewers going to help most of my viewers and is it? and listeners, is it? >> it's not going to >> well, it's not going to happen that's happen either. so that's all right then. so so. well, if the
10:42 pm
government wants to be political , it's going to try to make tax cuts in areas where people are going to be able to feel it in their pockets most widely. yes. so that means national insurance or tax ? yes. i'm all in or income tax? yes. i'm all in favour of cuts in taxes across the board . but the government is the board. but the government is still borrowing £100 billion a yean still borrowing £100 billion a year, which is 10% of the gdp, 5% of gdp. so there is no room for tax cuts on the kind of treasury orthodoxy which jeremy hunt is guided by. so this is just, i'm afraid, tittle tattle and i don't believe that it will happenif and i don't believe that it will happen if there are tax cuts. >> i'd like it to be for my viewers and listeners who are struggling make ends meet struggling to make ends meet will that happen? could that happen? it looks like it happen? well it looks like it could happen. >> it should happen is >> whether it should happen is another matter. would be a another matter. it would be a great gift to everyone great christmas gift to everyone . know. there's not . but i don't know. there's not that . but i don't know. there's not tha i . but i don't know. there's not thai think . but i don't know. there's not tha i think there'll . but i don't know. there's not thai think there'll be some >> i think there'll be some small cuts in it, but not, not, not meaningful. >> no. >> no. >> about this ? briefly >> what about this? briefly before let you go , before before i let you go, we've angela levin coming we've got angela levin coming in. she's harry's

10:49 pm
meghan . actually, one would meghan. actually, one would imagine meghan should apologise to them, but that's it. and they've come to a sort of end, really. somehow because king charles will say the door is open, come when you want to . but open, come when you want to. but harry doesn't want to come until he gets this back and i think that as much as he loves us, the, you know , the military and the, you know, the military and he was very happy. he told me that that's where he feels he is himself . if that that's where he feels he is himself. if he that that's where he feels he is himself . if he loved not all the himself. if he loved not all the pomp, he didn't want the pomp and the circumstance. he wasn't interested in celebrity like he is now . he wanted to work and do is now. he wanted to work and do his very for best the country. that's what he said. that's what his aim was to do the best he could for the country . and could for the country. and that's all gone out the window, i'm afraid. >> sadly so . you know the lad >> sadly so. you know the lad well, i think you were with him for a year and a half in writing your just under. you got
10:50 pm
your book. just under. you got to know him very well. a lot of us miss the old harry. do you think we'll ever get him back? like most unlikely. >> really ? i think he's changed. >> really? i think he's changed. his whole being. is very different. i wouldn't recognise him. he's bitter, isn't he? he's very bitter. very bitter indeed . very bitter. very bitter indeed. he was a little bitter when i met him, but he's now full of it. i think meghan is a lot to blame and she's poured into him all the things that are terribly wrong and sad that she's made him really dislike his own family and perhaps his own country and his own country . country and his own country. yes, well, meghan didn't like the uk . she yes, well, meghan didn't like the uk. she found it too small yes, well, meghan didn't like the uk . she found it too small. the uk. she found it too small. and if you'd ever listened to her carefully , she always wanted her carefully, she always wanted to talk about it global. she wanted her work to be global. she feels to be global and little uk is not grand enough for her and she didn't like having to walk behind catherine
10:51 pm
and be told what to do and be told what colours and live in a smaller house. no, the smaller houses are nonsense actually. really? because she's at the engagement . she she arrived and engagement. she she arrived and stayed with harry in his place and at the engagement she said oh no, it's so sweet. it's so calm. we know we love it because it's so cosy. meanwhile they were having a huge flat redecorated in the palace and but she got she didn't sort of mention that after a while. >> do we, though, unfairly demonise meghan markle? i mean, i've got in trouble with john cleese for calling her wakamono because she broke up the royal beatles, in my view. but in a way, doesn't harry own this? isn't he the one that turned his back on his family and on his country? why should we blame meghan everything ? he's meghan for everything? he's a grown man. >> he is a grown man. and of course, he could have said no. but he fell in love with her the day saw her. he was dead. to day he saw her. he was dead. to me, was you just the
10:52 pm
me, it was you know, just at the moment he saw her. he fell in love. and then she was quite demanding on him. and he decided to follow her path. and i think that it's both of them. it takes two to behave like that . and i two to behave like that. and i think they both have. she's encouraged him to be negative just as much as she is about her own family. she's only close to her mother and she hasn't seen her mother and she hasn't seen her father. father hasn't seen her father. father hasn't seen her children. harry's never met her children. harry's never met her father and also his she didn't like i mean, it is very difficult to come from a different country to a very different country to a very different way of life and learn and leave your family , leave and leave your family, leave your friends. but she didn't give it any time. she was already preparing to leave just before they got married. so that she didn't have the idea of staying here. she didn't give it a chance . if she stayed here, a chance. if she stayed here, they could have been wonderful. they could have gone to the
10:53 pm
commonwealth and done a lot of good. but she wasn't interested in it. >> briefly, do we have evidence that she was making plans to leave before they even married? >> evidence that got >> it's evidence that she got things was already things and she was already engaged netflix on certain engaged with netflix on certain program . things that she wanted program. things that she wanted to do. >> william has has william now reached the point of no return with harry? is harry beyond william's forgiveness as well? >> i don't know exactly where he feels emotionally about harry reportedly raging . i know that reportedly raging. i know that they were extreme , close and they were extreme, close and he's been very much hurt by harry's behaviour with the late queen elizabeth. really phoning up and being angry with her and asking money while she was very ill and near her death . and he ill and near her death. and he absolutely knows that he also is very protective of catherine,
10:54 pm
who's done her best to be a wonderful royal and has not put a foot wrong and i think that with a couple who are very close to each other, you can often feel much more for the other person than you can feel for yourself. so although he's taken what the nasty things that harry has said about him complaining that, you know, he pushed him over and it's not a big deal between two boys, one imagines, but the rudeness about catherine has very much wounded william and he doesn't want any more contact with him. >> quite right. standing up for his missus, as every man should. yes angela. wish we had longer. do you come and see again? do you come and see us again? soon. for staying soon. okay. thanks for staying up well. brilliant up so late as well. brilliant stuff. highlights show. up so late as well. brilliant stuf'brilliant|hts show. up so late as well. brilliant stuf'brilliant angela show. up so late as well. brilliant stuf'brilliant angela levin. w. the brilliant angela levin. folks, i've really enjoyed ten days on air with you. thank you for having back on for having me. i'm back on friday at nine. headliners is next. >> hello there. good evening. i'm jonathan vautrey here. your gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. many
