week. as my good friend and reform uk leader richard tice apologised after sacking an inactive candidate who turned out to be dead. i'll be honest, the political establishment are so useless these days on the left and the right. i'm wondering whether a dead candidate might do a betterjob. now reform uk have run urgent medical checks on all of their other candidates. blood pressure, pulse breathing and they are all found to be alive and well. for example, the prospective parliamentary candidate for eastbourne is the very talented abraham lincoln, who famously ended slavery and won the us civil war. and now the big man wants to bring down taxes and end wokery in our institutions . running taxes and end wokery in our institutions. running in shipley, elvis presley, the king of rock and roll, stopped people in their tracks with his incredible music . and now elvis incredible music. and now elvis is going to stop the boats wrong . the candidate for south devon is one. john lennon is going to

axe net zero. he wants to give gas a chance and last but not least, jesus christ running in bradford west. finally, a politician that walks on water. although nigel farage and jesus in one party that's two big personalities. how will that work now? competition for the friday night live wrong about everything award is always hotly contested , but this week it contested, but this week it surely goes to the labour party, who just a few weeks ago tweeted their support for trans madness as this was a tweet read by 8.8 million people. but with just 4500 likes in social media terms, that's what they call death by ratio . so the labour death by ratio. so the labour leader, starmer, has notoriously tied himself in knots, struggling to define what a woman is , even though he's woman is, even though he's married to one and under—fire angela rayner, who identifies as a ginger woman always in

trouble, said anyone expressing concerns about children being transitioned is guilty of hate speech. well since the devastating cass review, which says that the nhs has damaged children physically and psychologically by transition ing them, we've had a disingenuous vie inducing change of tone from the likes of shadow home secretary yvette cooper, who had the brass neck to say that lessons must be learned what in the labour party and wes streeting, who expressed regret over saying the following sentence. he said all trans women are women. get over it. but labour's deep ability to be on the wrong side of every story goes beyond trans madness. wrong on lockdowns of which they wanted more, wrong on masking, which was about as useful as a sweatband on prince andrew, wrong on school closures , which wrong on school closures, which starmer said were inevitable. wrong on taking the knee to blm, which proved to be a corrupt,

divisive neo—marxist organisation that makes hamas look quite sweet. wrong on brexit as starmer tried to reverse it. wrong on energy as they bet the house on flaky renewables. wrong on jeremy corbyn, who wanted to be corbyn, who starmer wanted to be pm. the list goes on. in fact, labour are so wrong about everything. i wouldn't be surprised if starmer was behind the all female reboot of ghostbusters . i the all female reboot of ghostbusters. i blame him and james blunt's difficult second album. oh, tickets have just gone on sale for glastonbury this week and demand is , as this week and demand is, as even this week and demand is, as ever, very high. but don't worry, with old political nostradame as sir keir starmer, in charge for five years, by 2029 we'll all be living in a field unwashed, sleeping in tents, relieving ourselves behind a bush and waiting for our dealer to arrive with a family pack of ketamine just to dull the pain. nostradamus keir starmer in charge for five years. just imagine . can you years. just imagine. can you imagine it? now the tories are terrible. don't get me wrong.

but replacing them with starmers labouris but replacing them with starmers labour is a bit like replacing your rubbish boyfriend with someone . even worse that you someone. even worse that you found on tinder. someone with tattoos, a motorbike and still living with his mother. swipe left at the next election at your peril. i might go celibate. oh . reacting to my profound oh. reacting to my profound words of wisdom tonight, my friday, a team suzanne evans, alex dyke and wayne sleep okay. suzanne labour wrong about everything . prove me wrong. everything. prove me wrong. >> pretty much wrong about everything. but i think what worries me too, is that the tories seem to be copying labour and everything doing and everything they're doing at the labour now the moment, so labour are now having their policies having to change their policies because tories nicking because the tories are nicking their labour are their policies, so labour are having up ones. so having to think up new ones. so for non—dom thing, for instance, the non—dom thing, there they were, they were going to, basically all to, going to basically tax all the non—doms so that the non—doms to death so that they fund the nhs. lo they could fund the nhs. and lo

and behold, communist jeremy hunt the woodwork hunt comes out of the woodwork and exactly same thing. and does exactly the same thing. so say, it is one of so like you say, it is one of the i mean, i have to say, i've no experience of tinder and looking for boyfriends on tinder, about tinder, so i don't know about that one. think you protest that one. i think you protest too no, honestly, don't. too much. no, honestly, don't. >> i've i've just been >> but i've just i've just been online. i've just met someone >> but i've just i've just been online.susie ust met someone >> but i've just i've just been online.susie evans,t someone >> but i've just i've just been online.susie evans, 69,meone >> but i've just i've just been online.susie evans, 69, 69. ne called susie evans, 69, 69. >> dare you ? yeah, but no, >> how dare you? yeah, but no, it's it is people a lot of people say to me, it can't be worse. labour can't be worse than this. and i say, well, yes, they can, because of course any party can be worse than the incumbent government, we didn't think the conservatives think that the conservatives could blair. could be worse than tony blair. but what's happened in but look what's happened in power since 2010. it's been an utter disaster. >> alex i'm howling into >> alex dyke i'm howling into the abyss because bottom >> alex dyke i'm howling into the tisyss because bottom >> alex dyke i'm howling into the is that ecause bottom >> alex dyke i'm howling into the is that labour bottom >> alex dyke i'm howling into the is that labour streets line is that labour are streets ahead of tories in the ahead of the tories in the polls. the british people have had this had enough of this tory government. rubbish. government. they want rubbish. keir i don't think they do. >> and you can never believe the polls . you've got to wait until polls. you've got to wait until voting night. i mean, the only poll that matters, the only poll that matters. yeah. and i'm so,

so pleased that you went easy on labour tonight . labour tonight. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> andy lound with kid gloves. but listen, this is a minority view, isn't it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we all need change, though, i think. and i think doesn't matter if it was labour, liberal or whatever you call it, we need change. yeah. because with change, at least something different may we know different may happen. we know what's going to happen. conservatives are all going to shake hands. start network shake hands. they start network working when they're at eton at eight years old, and they just keep it in the family more or less. and i don't if they less. and i don't know if they know that we exist half the time. >> do you think it would be in a way, healthy democracy, way, healthy for the democracy, healthy country just to healthy for the country just to have government just so have a labour government just so we can make change we could we can make change so we could get them instead? get at them instead? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> do like >>yeah. >>oo >> do you like keir starmer? >> do you like keir starmer? >> have you ever have >> i mean, have you ever have you him dance. keir you seen him dance. can keir starmer dance. you seen him dance. can keir sta ohr dance. you seen him dance. can keir sta oh i dance. you seen him dance. can keir sta oh i think. you seen him dance. can keir sta oh i think he probably >> oh i think he could probably do greek number for you do a little greek number for you any day. >> yeah. any day. >> he|h. any day. >> he dances around issues doesn't definitely does. >> yeah definitely does. yes. >> yeah definitely does. yes. >> like 1997 over >> it feels like 1997 all over again. bends the rules. >> i was going to say that. >> i was going to say that. >> yeah there were a lot of

this new report saying there's no evidence of a diversity bounce. crumbs it's almost like appointments made should be colour—blind not related to your ethnicity, sexual preference, or genden ethnicity, sexual preference, or gender, but your ability to do the job. i know it's a crazy idea. it's friday, we've all had a drink as china tools up its younger generation with an education system based around science, languages, engineering and mathematics, and with the chinese version of tiktok showing chinese kids intelligent, constructive, educational videos, the west has decided to conduct a war on merit in the boardroom and the classroom , with businesses classroom, with businesses risking having less good employees to tick boxes and kids spending their free time doomscrolling on social media watching videos of a man slicing cake and women being pushed into lakes. cake and women being pushed into lakes . although i must admit lakes. although i must admit thatis lakes. although i must admit that is quite entertaining. so

here we have documentary proof that box ticking diversity policies don't boost businesses, are divisive, and merit anti talent and anti hard work. and they bring with them a prejudice of their own. for people with the wrong skin colour who new now in the boardroom who cares. these companies will just lose money. but do you want your heart surgeon or airline pilot chosen not on merit but ethnicity who they like shagging or what gender they think they are today, but mark my words, these woke policies will not change in the face of the facts. it's a crazy ideology which has taken root . the fall of the west taken root. the fall of the west cannot come quickly enough . cannot come quickly enough. bnng cannot come quickly enough. bring popcorn. alex dyke i think we're bringing this on ourselves. i think that china will eventually take over . and i will eventually take over. and i don't mind because i quite like chinese food. >> hahahahaha . >> hahahahaha. >> hahahahaha. >> well, warren buffett, who's one richest men in the one of the richest men in the world, said that. >> and my favourite country singer, i should add, said what a he's had.

a life he's had. >> yeah, said that this was ridiculous, some years ago and he's got a lot more experience than me. we want the best pilots, the best heart surgeons. we want the best people for the jobs. i don't care what colour they are, what religion they are, what sex they are. just give me the best person for the job and alex, they will likely be of colour . be people of colour. >> because the whole point is that talent is spread evenly throughout the human race. yeah, and we will have diversity. but what you don't have to have is patronising box ticking . that's patronising box ticking. that's the difference. you want a diverse environment , but diverse work environment, but based on merit. >> exactly. that's common sense , >> exactly. that's common sense, isn't it? >> i mean, what was the beeb like when you were there? because the beeb were pretty keen on these policies, aren't they? know you like to they? i know you don't like to be harsh on your former be too harsh on your former employers, but. >> it was about >> yeah, well they it was about box ticking. it was box box ticking. it was about box ticking. and felt a, ticking. and i felt as a, believe not, over believe it or not, i'm over 50. i felt as a whiting. >> don't be fooled. >> don't be fooled. >> as a white middle class

straight guy, i was on a i felt i was on a hit list. whether i know whether i was or not, i don't know. >> well, you take a lot of boxes here. let me tell you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> you are you are fast tracked. nofice >> you are you are fast tracked. notice i'm only kidding. wayne, sleep. world sleep. you come from the world of entertainment? yes. and and talent is colour—blind. >> and quite >> of course it is. and quite frankly, i had my hip replacement done by somebody who became a woman. and he was a man. and he did princess. he did. the queen mother's one of her assisted at. and then he was called william, i think. and then he, she said to him, what do i call you now? he said, sarah, ma'am. and she said, sarah, ma'am. and she said, sarah, do the other hip. the other woman said , ofsted and other woman said, ofsted and didn't turn a blind eye, just wanted the best person , the best wanted the best person, the best person to do it. correct. and that was and i've had that was me. and i've had a wonderful success with my hip as well. and so i don't care if they're black, white, green, yellow so long they yellow or blue, so long as they can do and they can can do the job and if they can do they get first prize. >> however , suzanne, maybe what

>> however, suzanne, maybe what these trying these companies are trying to do, organisations is do, these organisations is balance out huge discrepancy. balance out a huge discrepancy. we that the boardroom is we know that the boardroom is dominated by white middle aged men . is that a problem or men. is that a problem or they're trying to do is make the world more equal? >> well that's right. but, you know, ultimately you look at the big listed companies, their bottom line is about profit for their shareholders, and that's what they've got to do. and you look and it's a listed look at and it's not a listed company, but you look at like look at and it's not a listed comflewisiut you look at like look at and it's not a listed comflewis is you look at like look at and it's not a listed comflewis is the look at like look at and it's not a listed comflewis is the looissueike look at and it's not a listed comflewis is the looissue at john lewis is the big issue at the isn't it. with their the moment isn't it. with their chairman white, had the moment isn't it. with their chiretaill white, had the moment isn't it. with their chiretail experience, ite, had the moment isn't it. with their chiretail experience, had had the moment isn't it. with their chiretail experience, had justhad no retail experience, had just had in civil service. had a career in civil service. she's black, she ticked a box. she's black, she ticked a box. she i'm sorry, but she failed in herjob because she hadn't got the right background and experience. >> do you think that she was hired box ticking hired for her box ticking because has had a stellar because she has had a stellar career, hasn't she? >> a very, very >> she's a very, very accomplished she was very accomplished woman. she was very successful her previous successful in her previous job, but she'd got no but as i said, she'd got no retail why on earth retail experience. why on earth would choose head would you choose to head up a company john lewis, company like john lewis, somebody a somebody that hadn't got a background retail so the background in retail? so the interesting though interesting thing, though about this know, this

this study is, you know, this idea that if had more idea that if you had more diverse the boardroom, diverse people in the boardroom, it mckinsey big it was a mckinsey study, big consultancy, it's just consultancy, and it's just absolutely been taken as gospel. but the interesting thing is this new research, mckinsey wouldn't share how they got to their conclusions with this. the two professors who did the new research now that to me rings a great big alarm bell. if you're confident in your research, why wouldn't which wouldn't you tell them which companies studied ? so these companies you studied? so these guys to s&p 500. guys just went to the s&p 500. america's 500 biggest listed companies, and obviously got very different results . very different results. >> isn't it isn't it the on >> but isn't it isn't it the on the board , the white fat cats, the board, the white fat cats, the board, the white fat cats, the white middle aged fat cats that are making sure boxes are ticked below them? very true . ticked below them? very true. you don't see, you know, let's be fair. >> up the ladder. aren't they, after they get to the top. >> exactly. that's what i think. and diversity should go all the way up to top . way up to the top. >> bingo. well said. you are so right, listen. next up, folks , right, listen. next up, folks, should we bring back the british empire? making the case. empire? i'll be making the case. bear with me on this one. i am sober also because the country

is flooded with fake stamps. should we ban them? is it time to of the royal mail? to get rid of the royal mail? we'll too. to we'll discuss that too. lots to get through. you in two.

now britain has been flooded with thousands of fake stamps which are being blamed on china. anyone who receives a letter with a fake stamp is charged £5 by the royal mail. just how much do you really want? that birthday card from your gran ? birthday card from your gran? what is the point in stamps? what's the cost of a first class stamp these days? £150, £200? who should we them who knows? should we axe them altogether? disband the altogether? and disband the royal mail? suzanne? >> no, of course we can't do that, i was going to say it's got the queen's head on. it but of course it's the king's head how. >> now. >> yours are out of date. >> yours are out of date. >> still haven't caught up. it's still strange as people talk about came to

about the queen. she came to shropshire, live the shropshire, where i live the other i thought other day, and i thought immediately thought, of course it's camilla. think still it's camilla. i think i'm still trying up. no you trying to catch up. no you can't. sorry i'm waffling. >> like the queen. >> you're like the queen. >> you're like the queen. >> queen's >> you're like, the queen's coming. like coming. you're like what? like a reformed uk candidate. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> the ashes. >> that's right. >> from the ashes. >> that's right. >> from the dead.. >> that's right. >> from the dead. bless her. oh, she no, you she was wonderful, no, you can't, but is quite can't, but this is quite a story. this the daily telegraph uncovered these thousands of fake to. fake stamps, and they went to. they found companies in they found four companies in china prepared to make china that were prepared to make a million of them a week, and they were selling them for £0.04 each, which by the way, how each, which is, by the way, how much should cost . well, so much they should cost. well, so it would be a lot. >> what is the first class stamp now? £1.10 or something. >> it's a lot of money. >>— >> it's a lot of money. >> it's a lot of money. >> i don't think many people know, was going to do know, but if i was going to do that, i wouldn't faking that, i wouldn't be faking stamps. banknotes. stamps. i'd be faking banknotes. oh, as well. oh, they do that as well. >> they are stamp when >> why do they are stamp when you £20 note or a £50 note? >> yeah, most definitely are more expensive. >> had letters >> i mean i've had letters without stamps them actually. without stamps on them actually. is that right? >> you received them. >> you received them. >> that's why. >> that's why. >> england. england. i've >> that's why. >> iengland england. i've >> that's why. >> iengland .ngland. i've >> that's why. >> iengland . it'sand. i've >> that's why. >> iengland . it's been i've >> that's why. >> iengland . it's been aboutve >> that's why. >> iengland . it's been about a had england. it's been about a year later or two, i think the

fan who did it probably died years before, but. >> but nobody can tell the difference with these stamps. so the mp for thanet, craig the mp for south thanet, craig mckinley, and mckinley, he bought some and found they were. is found out that they were. is this you? this one behind you? >> tell you something >> well, i'll tell you something that is, no, that's the real deal that is, no, that's the real deal, i've got to say, because they're huge. you think people would they're huge. you think people wotiti they're huge. you think people wotit is, it's a very benevolent >> it is, it's a very benevolent and dignified portrait of the king, and i'm delighted to say it is fully authentic. but there you so we're going to have you go. so we're going to have a stay of execution for the royal mail. but moving on. there is trouble in paradise, folks . eu trouble in paradise, folks. eu members have reacted angrily to a new migration pact, as poland and hungary reject a one size fits all diktat from brussels . fits all diktat from brussels. leaders in hungary and poland have said no. nine non nyet to new legislation which would see every european country take a huge share of migrants. interesting countries tired of being pushed around by an unaccountable un democratic bloc. i've got a novel solution.

bear with me on this. poland and hungary should get out of the european union. that's right. they could be sovereign, have their own currency. imagine that. stop paying huge amounts of money every month for membership. they could even control their own borders. crazy idea. i know it'll never catch on. meanwhile, the united kingdom, which we were told by project fear, would basically have entered in solvency at this point, with british people deciding which of their offspring to eat first to survive appears to be thriving. that's right. news today that the british economy is roaring back to life with healthy growth demonstrated , noting that the demonstrated, noting that the recession we suffered was shorter than a night out with mary berry, especially compared to the eurozone and germany, who have languished in the red. so i've got a great idea. why don't brilliant countries like poland and hungary and any of our other european friends leave the eu and join a brand new bloc, a

brand new organisation which i'm calling the british union, that's right, the b.u, where there is no bs , a union which there is no bs, a union which stands for free trade, democracy, sovereignty and strong borders. yes, this british union could grow and grow and become, i don't know, an empire. yeah, i like the sound of that. and i'm sure it's got good historic precedent . got good historic precedent. >> what do you think about that? alex dyke, the british union, i think people would join. >> well, it's a nice idea , but i >> well, it's a nice idea, but i can't see it happening. but i'm glad that these, you know, poland hungary standing poland and hungary are standing up to brussels, and we did it, of course, but i don't know if we're any the better for it. i think leaving the eu was a bit like having an expensive car loan, and you're paying £800 a month. and you know, once you've paid that car off, you're going to end paying paid that car off, you're going to car end paying paid that car off, you're going to car loan end paying paid that car off, you're going to car loan off end paying paid that car off, you're going to car loan off andi paying paid that car off, you're going to car loan off and you paying paid that car off, you're going to car loan off and you thinkg the car loan off and you think 2 or 3 months later i don't feel any better off. yes that's exactly right. >> i've gained nothing, really. >> i've gained nothing, really. >> no bang for my buck, wayne, what you think? the british

what do you think? the british union. could be very popular. >> well, i'm interested in it, quite frankly. well, you probably quite frankly. well, you pro it bly quite frankly. well, you pro it sounds a nightclub, >> it sounds like a nightclub, doesn't it? >> well, is, quite. yes. >> well, it is, yes, quite. yes. i mind very good i wouldn't mind very good dancing union . dancing in the british union. i'd be the choreographer, the british choreographer , british union choreographer, number one. >> that's it. but i mean, i'll tell you something, though. just making serious point. i voted making a serious point. i voted remain, accepted remain, but i accepted the result of brexit. and thought, result of brexit. and i thought, let's with it and let's let's get on with it and let's make a success it. yes make a success of it. yes i don't think that disaster has happened. sleep. happened. wayne, sleep. i know people had trouble the people have had trouble with the passage whatever, passage of goods or whatever, but at the economic but you look at the economic numbers, doing pretty well. yeah. and quite frankly, >> yeah. and quite frankly, where are where the boat people are concerned sort of concerned and all that sort of thing. i mean, not doing thing. i mean, we're not doing that. i mean, we've, we that. well, i mean, we've, we let in. we don't take let people in. we don't take their fingerprints. we don't take a passport. two nights later, they've all disappeared and they're wandering around britain any britain without any identification like identification and things like that. blame poland that. so i don't blame poland and the other countries, you know, standing up for themselves and making their own laws about it. only thing i do think it. the only thing i do think was good about being with the commonwealth fact that ,

commonwealth was the fact that, a lot of us, you know, in our trade, used to get bullied a lot, you know, in theatre and other work fields. and now, you know, you're not allowed to be. and that was thanks to the european coming in and european community coming in and making a law. and we have harassment clauses now year after year. but then sometimes they take those too far, you know. >> well indeed you mentioned you meant the eu , not the meant the eu, not the commonwealth. but i have to take your point. sorry. no, no, it's all good. and suzanne evans, the bottom line is that i think the british union would be very attractive . it's what the attractive. it's what the european union was supposed to be dating back to the 1970s. >> yeah, well, everyone seems to want to come to britain, so why not expand? yes. you know, if we can't cope with the imports, let's export it. what a good idea. >> you're in shropshire. you got space? >> ta t- w- w— w a bit of space. i got >> we got a bit of space. i got a bit space, but we're not. a bit of space, but we're not. >> we're not doing badly, are we? we're doing badly. we? we're not doing badly. >> hasn't happened. i mean, >> it hasn't happened. i mean, i think overplaying think people are overplaying this recovery it this economic recovery bit. it was increase in

was one only 0.1% increase in gdp february. it wasn't gdp in february. it wasn't exactly booming, booming back. but you are but as you say, we are definitely doing better than germany, really germany, which is really stocking doldrums stocking the doldrums mostly because energy because of their high energy pnces because of their high energy prices reliant on prices and being too reliant on on their for their gas. >> but the green lobby, who and the green lobby forced them to decarbonise . decarbonise. >> yes. and i think that is it's interesting, isn't it, because this week, of course, we've had this week, of course, we've had this ruling from switzerland that, switzerland got know that, switzerland has got i know switzerland the eu, but switzerland isn't in the eu, but it's european convention on it's the european convention on human so all linked human rights. so it's all linked to council europe, etc. to the council of europe, etc. so ruling that you've got so this ruling that you've got to do more to combat climate change because otherwise people aren't to live as long. aren't going to live as long. i mean, what a load of nonsense. >> is like court living >> this is like a court living longer ever, telling longer than ever, telling a government policies to government what policies to have, telling a government what to week we've had >> but also this week we've had the , a leaked document the treasury, a leaked document coming out of the treasury telling companies not telling drug companies not to make drugs to help net make so many drugs to help net zero. well, if those swiss. how what how are they going to survive without all those drugs? i mean the whole net zero, the whole the whole of spider's whole the whole kind of spider's

web net zero european union, web of net zero european union, you know, all this stuff, the world forum, it's like world economic forum, it's like a i'm sounding like a mad conspiracy theorist now , but it conspiracy theorist now, but it is six months and it will all be true. probably will. it's true. it probably will. it's like got its tentacles into everything. and national governments come down the governments now come down the bottom pile it comes bottom of the pile when it comes to and i think that's to democracy. and i think that's a terrible that has a terrible shame. and that has got stopped. and that's got to be stopped. and that's partly the most reason why i voted hasn't voted brexit. government hasn't made the most of it, but that is why i did it. >> now. >> now. >> alex dyke always says the most outrageous things during the the last break the break and in the last break you well, said you said, well, you said something because something about brexit because you for you've got you voted for it, but you've got a me more. a twist. tell me more. >> yes . when we sat round the >> yes. when we sat round the table with with my grown up children and they all voted to remain, my wife and i, we wanted to get out. we wanted britain to go back to the way it was. >> you want to get out of the house because you don't like your children? >> no, no, no, we wanted we >> no, no no, no, we wanted we wanted britain to go back to how it in the 70s with

it was in the 70s with british leyland and actually maybe that wasn't good but we wasn't such a good idea, but we voted get and i regret voted to get out, and i regret it. really. so if you could vote, if you had your time again, would you vote remain next time? i vote remain. why? >> why would you do that? because we've got out. at least we've chance. it'sjust we've got a chance. it's just that government taken that our government hasn't taken the the reins and the taken up the reins and hasn't with it properly. hasn't run with it properly. if we that was we had a government that was prepared that, it would prepared to do that, it would be amazing. if yes, maybe amazing. well, if yes, maybe just thing is, we went just the thing is, we all went into it blind. >> we all went into it. >> we all went into it. >> i don't think we went into it blindly at all. you went into it blind. did you not listen to me on and the radio? on the television and the radio? nigel talking about it. nigel farage talking about it. >> i did, and i and i was so impressed with with nigel talking about suzanne evans's fault voted brexit fault that you voted brexit because she's so bloody persuasive, isn't it? >> very >> yes. yeah. very >> yes. yeah. very >> i'll be honest with you. >> i'll be honest with you. >> very persuasive. >> very persuasive. >> persuasive . there's, >> not persuasive. there's, susie 69, on twitter, but susie evans, 69, on twitter, but she's getting there. >> i'd like to meet her, think. >> sorry, i've not been focused on tonight's show. >> i've been staring at my phone. >> i think the thing is that now

we're retracted with. we're restricted with travel more and things like just isn't what things like that just isn't what i wanted. it's really interesting. >> do you think there are many of you? do you think you're. >> yes, i do, i think if we did it again, it might be different. >> alex dyke has got buyer's remorse the break, remorse after the break, discussing regrets discussing why he regrets working bbc. and who working for the bbc. and who could blame him, no, seriously. next up, the royal navy goes woke. and an astonishing story of an underhand cosmetic surgeon. and he's been interfering with me. see you in two.

things have sunk to a new low in our armed forces. with white pilots being discriminated against in the raf with a health crisis . which means that many crisis. which means that many brits are too overweight to fight. and with politically correct box ticking in the mod, the only winners of which is the

enemy. but what about this beauty which emerged this week? royal navy recruits will no longer be required to prove they can swim in order to join up. that's right. royal navy and swimmers . previously, people had swimmers. previously, people had to pass the 30 minute swim test. of course, that was in the past when the world made sense. when we had rules in place so that if, god forbid, a ship were to sink, the crew actually sink, the crew could actually survive. don't survive. what's next? you don't need you join the need to run. if you join the army, perhaps you don't need to sea pilot . that's good sea to be a pilot. that's good news for stevie wonder. if the music career doesn't work out. yes, i'm warming to this idea of lowering standards. maybe formula one could require you not to have a proper driving license, just a provisional driving licence. masterchef will accept beans on toast . miss accept beans on toast. miss world doesn't require you to be a miss. >> oh, wait a minute. sorry, i think i think that ship has passed. >> yes. this royal navy story proves that our armed forces are

sunk. woke britain wouldn't win a game of tiddlywinks, let alone another world war. i think private frazer from dad's army put it best. all those years ago. >> we're doomed . >> we're doomed. >> we're doomed. >> no big fire traitor. >> no big fire traitor. >> we're entombed or entombed . >> we're entombed or entombed. >> we're entombed or entombed. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> reacting to this disastrous story, suzanne evans, alex dyke and wayne sleep . there you go, and wayne sleep. there you go, wayne. sleep. i mean, we're in trouble, aren't we? >> yeah, well, sailors that can't swim, is it? >> because they haven't got enough people signing you enough people signing up, do you think? think that's what it is. >> it's is.- >> it's a, i is. >> it's a, i think is.— >> it's a, i think an act is. >> it's a, i think an act of desperation. >> yeah, it like it to me. >> yeah, it seems like it to me. yeah >> recruitment numbers are so low. >> yeah. well i just read. yeah. and i just read up a thing about this before and the this before we came and that the first circumnavigate the first guy to circumnavigate the world couldn't swim either. but a couple of years later, he went missing at sea. >> well, it comes to the best of us. i mean , i do think that us. i mean, i do think that suzanne evans, it's a shocking story. i worry about our armed
