of climate lunacy. next . of climate lunacy. next. >> good evening. the top stories from the gb newsroom. slovakia's prime minister is in a critical condition and still undergoing surgery after he was shot following a government meeting in handlova , outside the capital in handlova, outside the capital bratislava. officials could be seen bundling robert fico into a car shortly after the attacker shot him five times in the assassination attempt. mr feet.so was airlifted to hospital. one man has been detained by authorities as mr feet.so won power for a fourth time last october, and is implemented more pro—russian policies. he's pledged to stop military support for ukraine and threatened to veto the country's membership in nato. slovakia's interior minister says they believe the attacker had political motivation . in other political motivation. in other news, new proposals could see schools in england banned from

teaching students about gender identity . the government's identity. the government's review would also see all sex education halted for children under the age of nine. the prime minister ordered the review last year amid concerns some children were being exposed to inappropriate content, reports suggest parents will be provided samples of sex education content before lessons take place . before lessons take place. police could make more use of existing stop and search powers as part of new measures to tackle knife crime. the searches were curbed a decade ago. by then home secretary theresa may, after it was found minorities were being disproportionately targeted. £55 million will be invested into developing new technology, which could help police detect suspects carrying knives by scanning them from a distance . and sir keir starmer distance. and sir keir starmer used all six questions at prime minister's questions today to grill the prime minister about overcrowded prisons as emergency measures were triggered to deal with the problem in england . it

with the problem in england. it means defendants in police custody remain there and will not be transferred to courts for bail hearings. the labour leader referenced a recent report which says high risk prisoners are being released up to 70 days early at short notice, without sufficient planning. on monday, the prime minister suggested labour can't be trusted with national security . national security. >> the early release of stalkers domestic abusers and those considered a risk to children sound like the work of someone who is making the country more secure. here >> mr speaker, as i've said, as i've said, no one should be put on this scheme if they are a threat to the public. and let me be crystal clear, it does not apply. it absolutely does not apply. it absolutely does not apply to anyone serving a life sentence. anyone convicted of a serious, violent offence, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of a sex offence. and crucially, in contrast to the system that labour had put in place, mr speaker , governors and

place, mr speaker, governors and the prison service have an absolute lock so that no one is put on the scheme who shouldn't be. >> for the latest stories, you can sign up to gb news alerts by scanning that qr code on your screen. or you can go to gb news carmelites. now it's over to . patrick. >> sadiq khan is off to meet the pope to tell him about ulez. the climate crisis really is the new religious cult, isn't it? it will be interesting to see whether or not the mayor of london is capable of lying directly into the face of one of the holiest men on earth, about how much he cares about the planet. he'll be flying there, i imagine, as will his team. the ulez expansion raised £27 million from ordinary, hard working people in the middle of a cost of living crisis. in the first month alone , reportedly first month alone, reportedly for what absolutely minimal gain. a study found that the biggest reductions in air pollution actually happened before ulez was introduced.

khan's, also a frothing hypocrite. he and his entourage have racked up more than 430,000 air miles since he was first elected in 2016. that is enough to fly around the world 17 times, and it is estimated to have pumped out around 200 tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. mayor khan faced criticism for a five day trip to the united states in 2022, in which he was seen schmoozing with james corden on a rooftop terrace bar in los angeles. after visiting a cannabis factory. there is no climate emergency for him, is there? he was even accused of striking a deal with united airlines so that he could get free flights. that man's carbon footprint alone is probably responsible for at least a dozen dead polar bears and a few acres of melted ice caps every single year. but this is the reality of our globalist leaders . sadiq khan globalist leaders. sadiq khan cares more about shaking the pope's hand and telling him about 15 minute cities and exhaust fumes than he does about

people being stabbed to death in his city every single day. here's the reality, okay, some headunes here's the reality, okay, some headlines from the last few days for you. horror. three days in london with stabbings and shootings. there's another one. hunt for machete gang after brutal attack in woolwich. another one two teenagers charged with attempted murder after young man shot and stabbed in dagenham. another one here. a woman in her 60s was stabbed to death at a bus stop by a man trying to steal her purse. huge numbers of rapes, sexual assaults and muggings last night assaults and muggings last night as rival gangs fired at each other in stamford hill. okay, scenes like this are happening every single day in our. caphal every day it's every day. stuff like that. jews are afraid to

walk the street on saturdays because he's got the pro—palestine mob rampaging through his city. he doesn't care when it's on the streets of night time and see about the gangs running around with machetes, because that's the stories i am hearing . stories i am hearing. >> i say in a respectful way. i think the tory candidate should stop watching the wire. we're not living in baltimore. >> disingenuous and odious. sadiq khan's priority is swanning off to the vatican to go and shake hands with the pope so he can grandstand about net zero with other mayors from around the world who are committed to, and i quote, putting inclusive climate action at the centre of all urban decision making to create thriving and equitable communities for everyone in. i hope they ask for forgiveness when they're there from the pope, because i think there's a special place in hell for people who turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people they are paid to represent, so that they can act like the big man in front of the globalist elite. let's get the thoughts of my

panel this evening. i'm joined by the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks, and i've got author and broadcaster rebecca reid. mark, i'll start with you , should sadiq khan be with you, should sadiq khan be going to shake hands with the pope so he can tell him about ulez? >> doesn't seem to be a particularly good use of resources, does it? >> and i worry, patrick, as you've highlighted, that the obsession with climate change policies, which i think are completely overcook , it completely overcook, it distracts from some other major policy areas where you think something practical could be done.i something practical could be done. i mean, we're getting even done. i mean, we're getting ever, ever more hysterical about climate change. it started as climate change. it started as climate change. it started as climate change. then it became the climate crisis, the climate emergency. what next? the climate apocalypse? i don't deny some of the science here, but it is a new religion because any criticism of it and the spanish inquisition. are you a visit ? so inquisition. are you a visit? so inquisition. are you a visit? so i would rather that the re—elected mayor spent his time a bit closer to home, dealing

with some of the issues that you've just focused on. >> and this is not just a london thing, right? i know that he's the mayor of london and, you know, it's easy to, for, for a lot of our viewers around the country to, to assume this doesn't apply to you, but i think it does apply to you, because i think, adam, that this is symptomatic now of a global looking elite who are very easy for them, very easy for them to swan off and do stuff like this, but actually, what's going on in the places they're supposed to represent is a nightmare, a nightmare that we're all living in. >> again, i'm a knife crime campaigner, anti—knife crime campaigner, anti—knife crime campaigner , and if people knew campaigner, and if people knew what i knew about the gangs that are in london, there'd be even more scared . and, you know, more scared. and, you know, i know a lot more than most. i've been involved, you know , around been involved, you know, around the edges, it is like a war zone . london in off on a plane to see the pope. basically, the popeis see the pope. basically, the pope is there to spread this message, this climate alarmism around the world to all his

followers. it is a religion . and followers. it is a religion. and again, you know, we only have to look at people like greta thunberg. how are people obsessing over a swedish schoolgirl , that talks absolute schoolgirl, that talks absolute nonsense, gets arrested , but nonsense, gets arrested, but they worship her like she's some sort of hero . at the end of the sort of hero. at the end of the day. sadiq khan is the co—chair of c40 cities. their aims, their aims are to restrict daily meat allowance to restrict calories, calories, intake per people, to restrict the limit on flights that we can we can take and the phasing out of private car ownership. this is . a nutty ownership. this is. a nutty group. this is an extreme group that our believe people are swallowing. >> it is this is this something that, you know, our leaders should really be doing swanning off, meeting the pope when everything is not rosy in the garden back home? >> i think if you can do both, then you should do both. but he

clearly can't do both. and i live in london. i don't love the scenes of knife crime. i'm sure everybody else feels the same. i think some of sadiq's ideas are good. for instance, air quality, particularly for young children in the city, is very poor, and for instance, studies have shown that women who have pregnancies in london have soot in their placenta due to the air quality. so that's obviously not good. we don't like that, but it's about finding a balanced way that we can heal that problem long term. but you can't expect people to swallow this level of knife crime on a day to day basis because long term the air will because long term the air will be cleaner. you've got to be able to do both because otherwise people are going to feel like you're not doing your job. >> yeah. and is there is there a bigger picture here, mark, about, a kind of global climate agenda? because people will point absolutely and say, you know, some of the science here is, is nailed on. you know, we don't want to all asphyxiate to death because of the fumes that are coming out of our car. and i'm not trying to, you know, say that absolutely everything is part of some kind of weird, weird cult. but but at the same time, i do think that, you know, a group of mayors from all around the world going to meet

the pope to give their their climate crisis some legitimacy as well. i do find that a bit odd. >> yeah, i agree with that. and look, one of the problems i've got is that the particular issue of co2 seems to out—trump every other environmental concern, you know, the things like air quality are not specifically to do with c02, but we're so fixated that the sort of world's about to come to an end. and, you know what, patrick? all of these sort of big conferences, they're called cops, aren't they? the conference of the parties. we're always told this is the last chance to save the human race, to which i say, hurrah! there doesn't need to be another conference then, right? we'll either succeed or we'll fail. there's always another conference. yeah yeah. >> and i think i think as well there is something. look, i might be barking up the wrong tree here, but for me, there's something slightly sinister about going and meeting the pope. there are people especially, especially in a lot of parts of the less developed world where where for obvious reasons, the pope is, you know, whatever that guy says , go. whatever that guy says, go. >> so that's why they're using him. >> enclaves of countries where

people are catholic. he's not. >> yeah, but they're not just enclaves in parts that is catholic. >> you know, the pope has been a huge climate change activist for many, many years. in 2015, he wrote something called an encyclical, which is a letter that goes to all the bishops, where he said that the climate change was going to be his main focus. during his tenure. okay, he always cared. >> but these mayors carbon footprints, right, will absolutely smash any of us to pieces. so we'll remember we've had people like al gore in america tell us the world's going to end for decades. >> yet he's family owned, private jets. and he he turned around and said, it's not mine, it's my wife's. these are the biggest hypocrites in the world on a zoom call. right. >> why don't they do on a zoom call? >> they do. but i think we all agree. you guys generally say people have to get in the same room to have good ideas, go back to work. >> there is loads of people in the same room having bad ideas, so we all think work from home is a good idea. >> now patrick, there is nothing that we do in this country, let alone the cities, that will change the climate one iota here or around the world in the

future. absolutely not. no it's not. there is no evidence to say. there is no evidence to say that anything that we do, there is no evidence, nothing we there is no evidence, nothing we there is no evidence to support that at all. >> no. >> no. >> if we burn coal all day, every day, if we if by time this country is so small on the world stage, we make no difference. we do make a difference. we can't. some we don't make. >> by some miracle we do get to carbon net zero by 2050. probably largely bankrupting ourselves in the effort. i don't think we will get there, but if we were to the impact on global emissions is barely a rounding error. it's barely a rounding error. it's barely a rounding error . error. >> also, all i'm saying is tiny. >> also, all i'm saying is tiny. >> i mean, a little bit less hyperbole and a little bit more accuracy. it's not nothing. >> it's one we are about 1% of global emissions. >> absolutely. 1% is better than nothing. if you if you like to be 1% richer. >> yes, i would lick your fingers and wipe that out. the impact on global temperatures is so tiny as notpla and taxes will go so tiny as notpla and taxes will 9° up so tiny as notpla and taxes will go up and the control will go up more people will die because of being impoverished. >> yeah. can i just say i. i can't help but wonder,

seriously, when i, when i look at sadiq khan , i, i do not see at sadiq khan, i, i do not see a man who is kept awake at night by the unrelenting stab a thon thatis by the unrelenting stab a thon that is taking place in the caphal that is taking place in the capital. he's not the only mayor thatis capital. he's not the only mayor that is going through this. there are parts of the west midlands. there are parts of greater manchester. as we all know. you know liverpool, goodness gracious me. parts of scotland where you know, knife crime, etc. is out of control. >> he makes no effort but sadiq khan almost laughs at it and i want, and i wonder if he's doing a bit of laughing now i'm going to go. >> i'm going to fly to the vat. i mean, i thought this headline was a joke when i first read it. he knows that he can't goes to meet the pope to talk about ulez. i mean, it sounds like a joke about ulez. >> there's also data now from many, outer london boroughs that the air quality is worse since the air quality is worse since the expansion. so i'd like to see what sadiq khan says. >> there's a lot of money, low traffic neighbourhoods rather than ulez. but i agree it hasn't been well handled and it hasn't done well. no one thinks they're doing a good job. >> yeah, well, well, look, this is this is what sadiq khan has said. i am truly honoured to

have been invited to participate in this key summit hosted by his holiness pope francis, bringing together leading political, civic and religious leaders to tackle the biggest global threat we face today. i'm determined for london to continue to be a world leader in tackling the twin dangers of air pollution and the climate emergency, but the need for coordinated global action has never been so urgent. as mayor of one of the most diverse cities in the world, where we celebrate the huge contributions of different religious communities, it will also be an honour to discuss how faith and cooperation between different faiths can be a force for so much. good. brilliant. okay. all right. it's just eafien okay. all right. it's just easier, isn't it? it's easier for people to go and meet the pope and shake his hand and talk about climate change than it is to actually sort out any of the problems on your own doorstep. but still to come, are the government doing the right thing for young kids by banning the teaching of gender ideology in schools and in a tv exclusive? i speak to sasha bayley, who's the son of fame photographer david bailey, who was going to become a trans woman until he made a last minute u—turn. it's a fascinating story. i look forward to talking to him, but up next, knife crime is out of

control. we were hearing a bit about that and the tories are calling for more. stop and search a bit like this where a machete was found. but why do politicians have to ask the police to do more stop and search? seriously, is it because the police are too afraid of being called racist? former top cops norman brennan and leroy logan go head to head and it's right after this.

welcome back. now, coming up, as the government bans teaching on gender ideology in schools, i'm joined by someone who made a last minute decision not to become trans. okay, it's a fascinating story, but first, our british police too afraid of being called racist. it's time for tonight's head to head . i for tonight's head to head. i can't believe i'm saying this, but the government are now piling pressure on the police to ramp up this so—called controversial stop and search practice, saying that the priority should be tackling britain's knife crime epidemic rather than attempting to appease campaigners who claim that it's discriminatory. critics say that black people are disproportionately targeted and the latest government figures show that they were five times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people. but there are countless examples of knife crime in britain spiralling out of control in recent weeks. the shocking samurai sword attack in east london two weeks ago that left a

14 year old schoolboy dead. the teenager, jailed in greater manchester last week for stabbing paul marsh to death with a zombie knife. the two men, jailed for life in birmingham after they stabbed a 23 year old footballer to death on a nightclub dance floor. and when the police do use their stop and search powers , this is stop and search powers, this is what they can find. so there's a little clip here of them pinning someone down at a tube station and you think, oh, grief. and you can see in the hand there a massive, massive, great big sword. look at the size of that just walking around the streets with it. that's so common. that is so common. so tonight i am asking, as the conservatives are now feeling forced to tell our actual police force to bring back, stop and search to keep knives off the streets. are the police too afraid of being called racist to actually do it? let me know your thoughts. go to gbnews.com/yoursay or tweet me @gbnews. while you're there, make sure you go and vote in our poll. the results will follow shortly, but now going head to head on this former police

officer norman brennan and retired superintendent and author leroy logan shapps. thank you very much. great to have you both on the show here. now, look, leroy, i'll start with you. do you think the police are too afraid of being called racist to actually do proper stop and search in full force? do you think? >> well, i hear officers, being , >> well, i hear officers, being, you know, quoted as being, you know, pensive and don't want to be called racist by using their powers. but, that's nothing new. that was going on from when i was in the job as far back as the 80s, that police officers are racist at all. i think everyone recognises the importance of stop and search. it is a good tool, but importance of it is it has to be sharpened up by good intelligence, and the intelligence, and the intelligence comes from the community. the more intelligence you have, the more you can target the people who are carrying the knives, other weapons and drugs , etc. but if weapons and drugs, etc. but if you're alienating people by

having a stop and search, that's not based on intelligence and you don't have reasonable grounds, they're not going to work with you. it has to be a partnership. and the for years, the, stop and search has been carried out nationally as well as in the met has shown less than 5% of stop and search actually reveals a knife. they'll show you all sorts of, i've seen a whole brief on this thing today, but they don't show the actual percentage of stop and search, which actually is a positive. most stop and searches actually uncover drugs, not weapons. and then the other thing is, you have to have the intelligence to know where these youngsters are keeping the knife, whether it's stashed in a, lift shaft or anywhere in trees. >> i'll get that. i'll come. i'll come back to you , leroy. i'll come back to you, leroy. i'll come back to you, leroy. i'll come back to you, leroy. i'll come back. i'll come back to you, mate, if that's if that's all right. because i just want to bring norman in for now. norman, you know, i absolutely hear what leroy is saying there.

there will be people shouting at their tv screens now saying, look, just stop and search. just stop and search. people if you've not got anything on you, it doesn't matter. you've been inconvenienced for a bit of your day. the main point is that people are being stabbed. you know, in record numbers, etc. you know it is that should there be any qualms whatsoever about racial profiling when it comes to stop and search? norman it's not a point to racial profiling. >> what it is. it's police officers working on the back of statistics. and if the statistics. and if the statistics state that 60 or 70% of streets , murders, robberies, of streets, murders, robberies, muggings and attacks are committed by young black boys or young black men , leroy may say young black men, leroy may say that's disproportionate . the that's disproportionate. the police will say it is proportionate. you don't go out and stop, 50% white people, 50% black people. they do it just to keep the. leroy, you've had your say, leroy, but they're doing doing glasgow and it's white people. >> well, okay, leroy, i will bnng >> well, okay, leroy, i will bring you back in. let norman

finish and i will come back to you. leroy >> well, he's quoting wrong figures. >> leroy , you've got to show >> leroy, you've got to show some respect, my friend. don't. you're not the only voice in britain that you think is important. there's others that want to listen to an alternative. correcting you, norman. >> well, we do have to do one at a time, chap. so go on, norman. all right. and then. yeah >> all right, let me put let me put the statistics straight, straight away. in the last five years, 138,000 weapons, mainly knives, have been seized off the streets of britain, predominantly london. and let me blow that myth out of the water. 300,000 people, 300,000 people have been arrested as a result of stop and search. and i just think of how many murders have probably been prevented, how many stabbings have probably been prevented? we don't know, but that's how important the tool is. what is important, patrick as well, is that the police are telling me, especially in the met and i represent quite a few of them

not interested in stop and search. if i need to do it, i'll only do it if i have to. i don't want to get a complaint. i don't want to get a complaint. i don't want to get a complaint. i don't want to have my bosses fail me. i don't want the courts to fail me and the mayor and theresa may. they're the two people that warned and the mayor even threatened to take the matter to court. okay, stop. stop and search. >> all right. okay. again. norman, i'll come back to you. leroy, look, is it fair to say that unfortunately , stabbings, that unfortunately, stabbings, violent crime, drug dealing, etc. appears to be disproportionate , affecting disproportionate, affecting ethnic minority communities, certainly in london, maybe around the uk. is that unfair to say? is that is that untrue ? say? is that is that untrue? >> i know there's certain factors behind all sorts of crime, and it's not just on colour, it is around education. it's around, deprivation , asian it's around, deprivation, asian poverty, mental health. a lot of these knife crimes is around mental health. the young man that was killed in hainault, daniel anjorin , was killed by a daniel anjorin, was killed by a white male who must be deranged.

and if you look on all these social media mysticism and all sorts of things. so that's one of the things we need to recognise. this is not just an enforcement issue. you can't stop and search your way out. this problem or arrest your way out of this problem. it has to be identifying these key people who are vulnerable to this thug life and glamorising of weapons and also is. education is the key. there's a combination education and enforcement. i hear all the time about hundreds of people being arrested, but just like in leeds, it's mainly white people are stabbing white people . in glasgow it's white people. in glasgow it's white people. in glasgow it's white people stabbing white people . so people stabbing white people. so it's just stop, take the colour out of it and use it in an intelligent based way. all right. >> okay. okay. norman come back to that then. >> right. let's cut to the chase . you have to bring colour into it when it comes to london because young black children and young black youths are killing each other. my colleague, certainly family liaison

officers are at mortuaries with black families. they are pleading. they're bereft. they want the police to do something about it. some people in the black community complain . well, black community complain. well, i can tell you that these mothers and fathers are also live in the black community, complain that their children are being murdered and they're planning funerals rather than futures. the time has come for the black community certainly some within the black community, to look within, to take some responsibility and start getting their act together , rather than their act together, rather than blaming the police and anyone else for issues that they are partly responsible for. because stop and search. i'm afraid patrick will be reduced. it's reduced 44% in the past year or so, 44. and my colleagues are telling me they're not going to be stopping and searching. and when you think that three years ago we had the highest number of child homicide in london on record , 27 of those were stabbed record, 27 of those were stabbed

almost every single one was a young black youth. so those that criticise the police on stop and search are basically saying to the police, stop, stop and searching us because you're stop, you won't stop children killing each other . all stop, you won't stop children killing each other. all right. fine. >> final word leroy. go on. >> final word leroy. go on. >> people are not saying, don't you stop and search. they're only saying, use it. intelligence based not on a fishing expedition , not using fishing expedition, not using sort of, sort of road traffic stops and then hiding the stop and searches as , as various and searches as, as various reviews shown, they want to work in partnership with you and i and the in the black community. and i don't need any elektricity's you to say we don't recognise that these youngsters are dying , we youngsters are dying, we understand it and we are working as much as possible with the police, but they want to see it's being carried out without fear or favour in an objective manner. in partnership with the police. it's a combination of education, police and work on the back of statistics. >> and if the statistics state

that young black men are killing each other and robbing each braverman league, it's men in leeds and white men in it's crime that the police. >> okay. all right. we've had that's a that's a proper head to head. all right guys , we'll can head. all right guys, we'll can ithank head. all right guys, we'll can i thank you both very much for that good discussion . robust that good discussion. robust discussion. much appreciated. so that's former police officer norman brennan and retired superintendent and author leroy logan . look. hey, who do you logan. look. hey, who do you agree with on this? are the police too afraid of being called racists to carry out? stop and search either way, by the way, i cannot believe that it takes a government to have to encourage a police force to go and do stop and search in the middle of a knife crime. anyway, clive on excess. how many voting? yes have spoken to a policeman about this or have just read it in the daily mail? blue on axe says they're just afraid. period if a particular group are offending them, then it stands to reason that they will attract more attention. it used to be a regular occurrence in northern ireland to be stopped and searched. good point. this. i was a member of

the security forces and even happened to me when i was off duty, oscar says. who cares? their job isn't to be sensitive theirjob isn't to be sensitive and constantly appease criminals. theirjob is to uphold law and order. soft, ineffective, passive, completely incapable of handling any group perceived as a victim. right. your verdict is in good grief. 97% of you agree that the police are too afraid of being called racist , while 3% of you say they racist, while 3% of you say they aren't. wow still to come. rishi sunaks tough guy act proves to be false after it emerges that britain did take back 50 illegal migrants from ireland . honestly, migrants from ireland. honestly, does he? does he think we're all blind? i'll take lee anderson to task, though, shortly on what reform would do differently. but before that, as the government bans teaching gender identity in schools, i have a real life case study about the dangers of extreme trans ideology. sasha bailey joins me. he's the son of photographer david bailey, world famous . he photographer david bailey, world famous. he was convinced that he wanted to be a trans woman. but next, in a tv exclusive, he tells me, he tells all of us why

he's made

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now coming up, lee anderson on the shocking revelation that we did take back 50 illegal migrants from ireland. despite what our prime minister said. but first gender guidance set to be published tomorrow , will ban schools from tomorrow, will ban schools from teaching kids under the age of nine years old about sex education and controversial gender ideology. what is that

kind of teaching that i think can have a potentially life changing impact on vulnerable people ? well, as sasha bailey, people? well, as sasha bailey, the son of world renowned fashion photographer david bailey, knows very, very well now, he was a model turned successful art curator living in japan with his glamorous lawyer wife. but in 2022, that all came crashing down. now sasha fled the couple's tokyo home and returned to london, armed with his make up bag, a few dresses and a month's supply of hormone replacement therapy apparently all part of his plan to start a new life by transitioning to become a woman . a complex become a woman. a complex mixture of reasons has led sasha to this decision, but he found it relatively easy to follow through with that plan because a japanese clinic had signed him up for gender reassignment within ten minutes, reportedly. but once back in london, long nhs waiting list and a new relationship gave him the chance to rethink his decision. so for a tv exclusive interview, i'm very pleased to say i'm joined now by sasha bailey himself. sasha, look, thank you very, very much. i really appreciate you coming on and telling us

your story. are we making it too easy? do you think for people who are maybe a bit vulnerable to go ahead with gender transitioning, what do you think? >> yeah, i think, i think one of the major issues that we're facing is that people are people are pushed down this route far too quickly without looking at the external factors. so we have a major problem with kind of we look at this thing as from the aesthetic angle. we look at this as this is what you want to be. this is why you want to be on the outside. you want to change yourself, almost like you want to fit into a, you know, you want to fit into a round peg into a square hole. you want to be something to solve the problem that's around you from your environment . so you may be your environment. so you may be an environment that's very bad for you. you may be like, i was in an environment where it's abusive, and in order to solve that, you need to be able to change yourself . change yourself. >> okay. and, do you think then, that this is a potentially very

big problem in society? i mean, why do you think that this is affecting a lot of men at the moment? >> i think this is only going to grow. and i think my the situation i was in where, you know, i had my masculinity challenged on a daily basis, is something that we see kind of growing in society in general for men. the problem i think, is that men, especially young men right now growing up, they're told as a basis , especially if told as a basis, especially if you're western, that you are evil. you are wrong as growing up you you have something wrong with you. all of our thinkers, all of the people who think as men are vilified . you just have men are vilified. you just have to look at what happened to jordan peterson. and as as that's a problem that grows. i think that, you know what? i can either be, you know, a cis white male or i can baptise myself in this kind of cult of gender ideology , and i can get a new ideology, and i can get a new label or i can become something different. and that gets me the opportunity to cast off all of the sins of my father, all of the sins of my father, all of the sins of the generations before and fit into this society in a way that's new and fresh,

and i think that this, this is something that's only going to grow. i think it's only going to grow. i think it's only going to grow massively as we kind of continue to vilify, well, masculinity in all its forms, and presumably there was a penod and presumably there was a period of time where you thought that making that transition would have solved everything and made you very happy. yeah. what in reality do you think that would have done? you know, a couple of years down the line? >> i think a couple of years down the line, we'd be sitting here and i'd be a person who had detransitioned. i would have lost my fertility. i would have lost my fertility. i would have lost so many things that would have made me a man. and we'd be sitting here having a very different conversation about regret. we'd be sitting here having a conversation about how all of these things were taken away from me, how the doctors didn't tell me, did, didn't, weren't honest with me about what had happened, about an honest with me, about the loss that i would have encountered, these , these things that we're these, these things that we're talking about, you know, we hand them over, in society so often to those with kind of the lowest morals, we, we hand over the only way to speak about this

stuff without being cancelled, without having everything taken away from you, is to be someone who exists outside the paradigm of, you know, a standard job outside the paradigm of all of that stuff. i mean, i'm sitting here as a person who is very lucky in a sense that i can speak about this stuff because i have been i've had everything pred have been i've had everything ripped away from me. i have nothing to lose. so i think it's so important that more and more people do stand up and talk about this. more and more people do provide these kind of incentive structures for people to be able to see what to be able to see a way of improving oneself as a man. whereas the only ways that we're being offered to do that right now is ehhen offered to do that right now is either, you know, joining this cult changed everything about yourself or joining another kind of paradigm which is all about extreme levels of toxic masculinity . so almost masculinity. so almost caricature levels, which is what we see with kind of andrew tate. >> okay, so what would your message to people be now who

are, as you, i mean, well, globally, millions, but presumably in the uk, hundreds of thousands, certainly tens of thousands of people who are where you were a couple of years ago who are , i think, being ago who are, i think, being spoon fed a lot of things to , spoon fed a lot of things to, to, to essentially look in the mirror and hate what they see. right. and hate what, like you mentioned there, the sins of the father, which are nothing to do with them, really. what would your message be to those people that you're not guilty? >> you're not guilty for what's come before you and no one is. no one is guilty for what's happenedin no one is guilty for what's happened in generations before you, generations before you are completely irrelevant to who you are now. i mean, we only have to look at the demographics of occupy wall street to know that that's true. we don't. we know that's true. we don't. we know that it that's true. we don't. we know thatitis that's true. we don't. we know that it is not the case that, you know, western young men are benefiting from the fathers from all of our people before us. we're just as subjected. we're just as we're suffering, and then we're also suffering the lashes of it . and i think that lashes of it. and i think that what i experienced with the

relationship i was in is kind of a micro version of that. the macro version is society as a whole , you know, what's the whole, you know, what's the aspiration? who can you aspire to as, as a young man? there is there is not many people out there is not many people out there that you're allowed to look at and say, this is a good man. anyone who is or anyone who preaches these values is generally cancelled, vilified and taken out of society. >> yeah, well, good for you for coming on and sticking your head above the parapet. the other thing as well, i would just like you to emphasise if you want to is, you know, it's all very well and good making drastic physical changes. and i think from what i can gather, you will find a ready supply of medical professionals who are more than willing to do that for you just like that. but is the problem? is the issue actually within? is that what the issue is, and is that what the issue is, and is that what the issue is, and is that what needs fixing and not, you know, going through drastic physical changes for a lot of people, do you think? >> no, i think that what we've been taught this from growing up, right, that it doesn't matter what's on the outside. we're taught all this body positivity stuff. and then the

kind of ridiculous ness is that there's all this positive body positivity stuff going on. but on the other side, we're told that change yourself completely physically and you will be the perfect thing . you will be perfect thing. you will be exactly what we want. we then we will celebrate you or write articles about you. we'll give you all of these things in society if you just change yourself completely and you can switch this, you can switch this kind of original sin. if it were from being born, being born wrong. you can switch it for a version of yourself where you can succeed. you can be good. >> yeah. look, thank you very, very much. it's been an absolute pleasure to talk to you and to get to know you. and i'm absolutely certain that we'll have you back on the show. and we'd love to. you know, follow you up, follow your story. and i know that you've got a lot of good work planned. so thank you very, very much. and yeah, let us know what you think of all of that. of course. get in touch. you know, it's

gbnews.com/yoursay right? still to come. you have just heard sasha's story soon i'm going to have a debate with my panel about whether or not the government has gone far enough in ridding our schools of some gender madness, but next, remember when the prime minister said this? >> i can't confirm that the united kingdom has no legal obugafion united kingdom has no legal obligation to accept returns of illegal migrants from ireland. >> well, it turns out that just a few months ago, we did actually take 50 illegal migrants back from ireland to british shores. lee anderson is furious and

next. welcome back to patrick christys. tonight on gb news. and despite the prime minister's tough talk, it's emerged today that britain took back 50 illegal migrants from ireland when the irish police and uk immigration enforcement team stopped buses travelling from belfast to dublin in october last year, and then again in february. right. so that was just months before rishi sunak refused to accept the return of asylum seekers from ireland, after the eu country complained

that migrants were flooding into the country to avoid the rwanda deportations. >> can't confirm that the united kingdom has no legal obligation to accept returns of illegal migrants from ireland. now, it's no surprise that our robust approach to illegal migration is providing a deterrent . but the providing a deterrent. but the answer is not sending police to villages in donegal, it's . villages in donegal, it's. >> yeah. all right. why did you do it then. well a home office spokesperson has said these people were stopped on their journey into ireland. the uk and ireland are both able to stop people entering their respective countries if they believe the traveller is abusing a common traveller is abusing a common travel area , as happened in this travel area, as happened in this case. as the prime minister said, we have no plans to return to agreement with ireland for asylum seekers. i'm joined now by reform uk mp lee anderson. lee. what do you take migrants back from ireland ? back from ireland? >> absolutely not patrick. i mean, this is another example of a of a weak government who's, is not prepared to sort out the illegal migration crisis. you know, we've got thousands coming

over the channel every single week now from france. it's going to get worse and worse . we have to get worse and worse. we have a prime minister and the government saying that, you know, we will not accept returns from ireland. we're already doing that. this is spineless , doing that. this is spineless, this is weak, and this is going against the will of the british people. patrick. >> but, lee, i mean, the government's chief migration advisor, has said that actually rishi sunak has a fighting chance of reducing migration to below a quarter of a million by the next election. so as opposed as far as rishi sunak is concerned, you know, what's 50 illegal migrants from ireland ? illegal migrants from ireland? >> well, listen, i mean, the pubuc >> well, listen, i mean, the public are absolutely fed up. patrick of hearing this nonsense on an almost daily basis. you know, we've got net migration, we've got legal migration going through the roof . we've got through the roof. we've got illegal migration now 40% up on what it was last year. you know, we are the we are the government piping we are the we are the government piping on all the time that we're going to reduce the amount of crossings over the channel. it's actually going up. patrick, you know, it's no deterrent whatsoever. you know i think they've run out of ideas. and like i said, patrick, from time

and time again, i get fed up to the back teeth are hearing my own voice on this. the british pubuc own voice on this. the british public are fed up with this. our first duty as a nation should be to protect our borders. and we cannot against this pathetic evil people smugglers. >> i mean, they are. they are doing some stuff though, like for example, banning the foreign students from bringing their family members over to the uk. that does appear to be working, and i suppose it does appear that the prime minister does have a plan . have a plan. >> well, it does, pat. i mean, thatis >> well, it does, pat. i mean, that is working and that will work and that will bring legal net migration down. we know that. but you know, the prime minister and the government, patrick, have had their hand forced on this. you know that. and gb news who has know that absolutely no 100% over the past few years , we've sort of turned few years, we've sort of turned the government's turned a blind eye to illegal migration. it's only through the pressure, through the back benches to the right of the party. this this problem. nah. >> no. absolutely. and i think i think the idea as well of seeing, you know, a stood next to the, the, the irish home secretary, whoever he was and we were grandstanding saying we're

not going to do any deals with you. and it turns out we'd actually we'd all just let him in anyway. but anyway, look, shocking new data from the commonwealth war graves commission. lee has found that 1 in 5 young brits doesn't know the significance of d—day. ahead of the 80th anniversary of the normandy landings next month. so gb news reporterjeff normandy landings next month. so gb news reporter jeff moody did actually go out to barnstaple today. he found a couple of gen z—ers and they are well, they're just really ignorant. >> i know there's a history student, but no, i don't i don't really know, i know what it is a little bit. i'm pretty sure it's when you celebrate all the war stuff. >> i know it's very important i remember that much about it, but, is it something to do with the war or . the war or. >> yeah. all right. lee, what do you make of those responses then? and what should we do about it as well? people not knowing enough about d—day? >> well, look at, listen, patrick, don't blame the gen z—ers on this. this is, you know , when i was at school, we had we had a, a link, if you like to, our past, our history, the second world war. now, some of

our teachers actually fought in the second world war. and my grandparents, my granddad, he'd been across north africa and italy. so we had that as a generation. we had that direct link to our, to our past. generation. we had that direct link to our, to our past . and link to our, to our past. and you know what? i think the schools have got to take some responsibility on this. patrick head teachers, our teachers, they should be getting veterans into school, our armed forces into school, our armed forces into school, our armed forces into school to teach our young people some of these schools. patrick, by the way, they're more interested in dragging drag queens into school, dressed in ridiculous outfits and blonde wigs to read our kids, you know, silly stories. rather than get some real some of our schools, they'd be more inclined to get a palestinian freedom fighter in, wouldn't they? >> than someone who's actually, you know, fought in the war or was a falklands hero. i mean, that's where we're at, i think. >> well, well, the word patrick. >> well, well, the word patrick. >> absolutely. right. so, you know, don't blame our young people in this country. they will only learn what they're taught. and it's incumbent on our teachers and society as a whole to make sure that our young people learn the history, our history, especially from an

important, you know, from the second world war. >> yeah, absolutely. i couldn't agree more. thank you very much, mate. take care and we'll see you again very, very soon. that's lee anderson there. look coming up. i've got an exclusive that will send shivers down your spine about the chronic overcrowding in prisons and some of the monsters were letting out. but next, it's time teachers stop telling nine year olds about sex. why don't they leave our kids alone? and can i also just say, do you not think it's a little bit weird that so many people in the education sector seem absolutely desperate to talk to kids about sex? this is patrick christys tonight we are only on gb news and right now is your weather with alex deakin. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. sunny spells for many tomorrow, but there will be some heavy showers across the south yet again. northern scotland may well see the highest temperatures low pressure

dominating down to the southwest, and this weather fronts provided a thicker zone of cloud across central areas that rain from that weather front, though, is tending to peter out, as are the heavier showers we saw earlier. just a bit of rain just returning to parts of the east coast as we go through the night. for many it will be a dry night, quite murky and misty on the eastern coast, and misty on the eastern coast, and some fog is possible across parts of the south as temperatures generally drop to about 10 to 12 celsius. any mist and fog in the south should be clearing away, so generally out of the way by the time we get to the morning rush hour. but quite a lot of cloud across east anglia and parts of the southeast where there may well be 1 or 2 showers, some of that rain feeding into lincolnshire as well. generally a fine start for wales. most of northern ireland as well, and a good part of scotland again, dry and fine with sunny spells, the breeze coming in from the north sea, so the east coast will be chilly, but again northern scotland in the sunshine. we'll see those temperatures really jumping up through the course of the day. it's going to stay fairly dull and cool though. in northeast

england some outbreaks of rain here and we'll see a bit more rain coming into east anglia, lincolnshire then across the midlands during the afternoon, the potential for some quite heavy showers breaking out across the midlands, southern england and south wales, some torrential downpours are possible in the brighter spells in the south 20 degrees, but the highest temperatures likely to be across parts of scotland. in the northwest, 2324 is possible cooler on the north sea coast, with that breeze coming in which is still around on friday, again turning things misty at times. again on friday we'll watch the showers developing across parts of england and wales, especially again . some heavy ones are again. some heavy ones are possible, but they'll be very hit and miss a good part of the day will be dry and bright and in the sunny spells it will feel pretty warm once more. bye for how. >> now. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> it's 10 pm. i'm patrick christys tonight. stop teaching nine year old kids about sex in schools. also, no one should be put on this scheme if they are a threat to the public. >> and let me be crystal clear, it does not apply. it absolutely does not apply to anyone serving a life sentence. >> well, a gb news exclusive can reveal that executioners are being released from prison early, and i haven't even got anything on my lanyard. >> i'm just wearing it to wind up the minister for common sense labour on the lanyard wind up, but it must be the only tech bro brother on the continent . brother on the continent. >> oh keir starmer is an absolute shocker at pmqs is on my panel this evening. it is a

director of popular conservative mark littlewood. we've got landlord adam brooks, an author rebecca reid. yes. and, has britain gone to the dogs? i'll reveal all very shortly. sex crazed teachers need to leave the kids alone. next . leave the kids alone. next. >> patrick. thank you and good evening. the top stories this hour. slovakia's prime minister is in a critical condition and still undergoing surgery after he was shot following a government meeting in handlova, outside of the capital bratislava . officials could be bratislava. officials could be seen bundling robert feet.so into a car shortly after the attacker shot him five times in the assassination attempt. mr feet.so was airlifted to

hospital as a result, and one man has so far been detained by authorities, mr feet.so won power for a fourth time in october and has implemented more pro—russian policies. he's pledged to stop military support for ukraine and threatened to veto the country's membership in nato. slovakia's interior minister says the country believed the attacker had political motivation . new political motivation. new proposals could see schools in england banned from teaching students about gender identity . students about gender identity. the government's review would also see all sex education halted for children under the age of nine. the prime minister ordered the review last year amid concerns some children were being exposed to inappropriate content . reports suggest parents content. reports suggest parents will be provided samples of sex education content before lessons take place . police could make take place. police could make more use of existing stop and search powers as part of new measures to tackle knife crime . measures to tackle knife crime. the searches were curbed a decade ago by the then home

secretary, theresa may, after it was found minorities were being disproportionately targeted. £3.5 million will be invested into developing new technology, which could help police detect suspects carrying knives by scanning them from a distance . a scanning them from a distance. a red notice search warrant for an escaped french prisoner has been issued by interpol . 30 year old issued by interpol. 30 year old mohammed amara, also known as the fly , escaped from a prison the fly, escaped from a prison van in northern france yesterday, sparking a major manhunt. he was broken free by gunmen in an ambush that killed two prison guards . now, if two prison guards. now, if you've ever found yourself stuck on hold, how about waiting 800 years? that is how long people in britain spent waiting to talk to the taxman. last year, a damning report from the government's spending watchdog found taxpayers were on hold to hmrc for around 7,000,000 hours. in that tax year, it was less than half that time before the covid pandemic. fewer calls are

now being answered and those who do manage to get through spend longer on the phone amid what's being called a declining spiral of customer service and some good news for fans of the comedy, legally blonde, it is returning to screens in the form of a prequel series. the character, portrayed by reese witherspoon , will be bending and witherspoon, will be bending and snapping her way back to the small screen in a series titled l, with its clever critique of the dumb blonde stereotype, the original film became an instant classic when it premiered in 2001. for the latest stories , 2001. for the latest stories, you can sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. carmelites now it's back to . patrick. >> anybody who wants to teach children under the age of nine years old about sex needs to have their hard drive checked. schools in england will be banned from teaching sex education to children under nine. in new government guidance

expected to be published tomorrow. good. one earth did teachers even want to do that in the first place? schools will also be banned from teaching kids under nine about gender identity. now, i'm sorry, but in my view , there are a lot of my view, there are a lot of people out there who are absolutely desperate to sexualise kids and they want to use the banner of lg b—t—q plus ia, whatever the rainbow flag . ia, whatever the rainbow flag. happy clappy ia, whatever the rainbow flag. happy clappy inclusivity in order to be able to do that , why order to be able to do that, why are teaching unions desperate to have conversations with your child about their private parts? do you not think that's a bit weird? there are numerous cases of sexuality being forced onto children. a christian mother took one primary school to court after her four year old, four year old was forced to take part in a gay pride parade in hull. parents pulled their child out of a nursery because their young child was shown a book that included a grandfather dressed included a grandfather dressed in bdsm gear with a spiked dog collar and everything . it's not collar and everything. it's not just schools, though. a local library came up with the idea of

encouraging children to read by hiring and apologies in advance for this rainbow butt monkey to perform for young kids. now, if you don't believe me , here is you don't believe me, here is the offending creature they hired that to come and talk to young children about books. yeah, why ? why? we've had yeah, why? why? we've had primary school teachers ignore government guidance that parents should be informed if their child starts saying that they want to change gender. one school trust, which comprises several church of england primary schools, has advised teachers to help young girls use breast binders when out on school trips and let students sleep in bedrooms matching their chosen gender identity. you've got resources like this available online. teach children about pride in an early years setting. they can do rainbow finger paintings. why why, why is it important to talk to 4 or

5 year olds about their sexuality now? i found the reaction to this from teaching unions quite baffling. okay, so this new desire for the government to just push back on this a little bit and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold your horses. let's wait till the kids are a bit older. so paul whiteman is apparently the general secretary at schools leaders union, the naht h t. and he said if what has been leaked is accurate, the government must provide the evidence which unequivocally shows that such age limits will improve the support , protection improve the support, protection and safeguarding of children and young people, no . paul, with young people, no. paul, with respect, mate, i think you have to provide the evidence that people like you telling a seven year old about tampons, willies and 72 genders has some kind of benefit. it's not bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, or outdated to think that children under the age of nine should just be treated like children . just be treated like children. but let's get the thoughts of my panel this evening. i've got the director of popular

conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks, and i've got author rebecca reid. mark, where are you on this? i mean, should children under the age of nine be taught about all of this stuff? >> well, you say all of this stuff. i think there's quite a bit to parcel out here. patrick, i'm broadly with you and i'm broadly with gillian keegan. this guidance seems to me about sensible, about sensible. i think there are some grey areas . think there are some grey areas. i mean, there's a big difference between this monkey character with a sex toy attached to it and perhaps being willing to engage with an eight year old who says, where do babies come from? i mean, that's some form of sex education. if you attempt to answer that question. so there are some shades of grey. what i'd like to happen, though, and i'm not a parent myself, is parents to have a much bigger say at the moment, kids seem to be taught what gillian keegan, however worthy a politician she might be, wants to teach kids or the teaching unions. and if you've got kids at school , i

you've got kids at school, i think the parents should be able to dictate the curriculum much more strictly. >> some parents, particularly parents, are extremely religious , and that is a big problem with both muslim and christian parents particularly will opt not to teach. >> that said, no, no, no. but but don't teach it. that might that might not be within the parameters. i'm happy for the government to set broad parameters right. so you can't decide that you want your kids to be brought up as white supremacists, but parents can have a say at whether sort of beginning to talk about sexual education at eight, 10 or 12. >> do you think it had gone too far in schools? far, too far. >> i've got skin in the game here. i've got a ten year old daughter, you know, and she's ten. so she's over this age, but she doesn't need to know about sex, whether it's straight, bi, gay or trans . i'll be horrified gay or trans. i'll be horrified if i found out that she was taught about this stuff at school. i pull her out of school. i pull her out of school. she doesn't need to know what a condom is or anything like that. she's a child, right? we are. we are going too far in in this country and especially

with the trans agenda . i mean, with the trans agenda. i mean, i've got multiple books here that are shown in, in schools. >> well, what are some in primary schools ? primary schools? >> i mean there's one called abc pride. okay t is for trans, right . and then next to that is right. and then next to that is a character with mastectomy scars. we are normalising cutting off body parts to primary school children. that is wrong. and i think there is a left wing indoctrination going on by some teachers in this country. okay. >> so i can absolutely see the idea of an eight year old walks up to a teacher and asks where babies come from and stuff like that. >> you don't tell them, why would you not tell them, adam? is it because you want them to be victims of sexual abuse? well, so. >> because oh, how ridiculous. >> because oh, how ridiculous. >> nspcc has made it very clear on their website they are the experts in this country on preventing child. >> you do not tell an eight year old. you do not tell an eight

year old. the process of sex. >> rebecca speaking. >> rebecca speaking. >> then we'll come back. the number one thing you can do to protect a child from sexual abuse is to teach them the anatomically correct names for their private parts. so you don't say foo foo, you say vulva, you don't say willy, you say penis. you teach children what their bodies are, what is acceptable, and what can and cannot do. >> they need to read books with scdi’s. >> scars. >> i wouldn't read that book to my child, and that butt monkey guy would not be somebody i'd have in front of my child. but i am talking about the curriculum and teaching children the basics of sex. is how you not safe from what age would you start that? i talk to my child a very, very, very basically about sex. i use anatomically correct parts and i talk about from sperm from the beginning, just part of life. because if you make it weird and seedy, you don't make it weird. strange. >> my daughter is ten. okay adam, she's probably seen porn. the statistics. please do not say that. my daughter would not have seen porn. >> she's ten years of age. statistics show nonsense. >> she has not got it. she has not got a smartphone. my daughter has not seen it is true. it's not true. that's ridiculous. >> but porn on other. i think

it's horrific. but it's true. >> ridiculous. okay, i think, i think the, i think the point here is maybe as well though, that if this had gone unchecked, the direction of travel in schools i think felt very concerning completely . i schools i think felt very concerning completely. i think it had gone a bit bonkers, actually. >> yeah. and again, this is why i underscore, i say i'm not a parent myself. i want much more parental control. they shouldn't be able to dictate how many genders are there. well i think there are two. there is two, not seven, not 72. >> but the examples were nurseries and libraries. yes >> but mark, but the key thing here is surely there are shades of this, right? i mean, you're going to explain, you know, sexual intercourse in a different way to an eight year old and a 15 year old. you're not going to tell 8 or 10 year old kids about sexual health, for example. i would personally, you know, you're not expecting them to be sexually active. so there is a sort of, you know, there's a spread here, the appropriate thing at different ages. and i want parents. you're ages. and i want parents. you're a parent, right, rebecca. yeah. and you're a parent. adam i want the to parents be able to have a

big say in this and probably a bigger say than the teaching union. >> the issue is that children talk to each other, but whoever knows most in the playground tells everybody, just come in at this point and say that is, i think, a big concern, which is that there are you have to as much as we have to respect some parents rights to want to have exactly the kind of conversations from an early age that you've had. >> rebecca, if adam did not want his children going to, but my child will tell adam primary school, well, maybe this is the issue. go to primary school, but also so, so and i use this example because unfortunately this is the example that there kind of is, you know, so that one day sandra from the geography department can have a word with adam's child and say there might be 72 genders. i think you've got two. right, adam. so not want that. >> i would pull my kids out of school. and i think we keep heanng school. and i think we keep hearing about this trans ideology in this agenda. and i go on about it a lot because it's happening and we've got left wing lunatic teachers that are pushing this on our children. there's less than 1% of this population of our population are trans. why suddenly is it always in schools ? it's on adverts on our magazines. it's in the media.

well there's an there's an agenda at the end that children were being given between the ages of five and nine was a penis and a vagina and a sperm and an egg, which is very classic, cisgendered orientated. >> they're also being shown fighting against is the biological sexual. >> so why aren't they being shown books for four year olds taking part in pride events at school? >> those aren't school. that was a that was a library that was arguably worse nurseries or things like that. but again, the nursery, nursery, you opt in. it's a private system. it's not a state, it's no curriculum. some of the parents are very surprised by this. >> yeah, obviously weren't consulted. >> but your nurseries are within control. the issue with schools is that it's a set curriculum, so you can't pick and choose with a nursery. with a library, you can then choose what you opt in and out. >> but it is a different i think i want a bit more, choice from the parents. again, you know, adam says it's about a range of things. i think it should be relatively for easy parents to pull their kids from a school and go to another school at the moment, that's extraordinarily difficult. you don't need millions of people to do it. you

just need that pressure or the opfion just need that pressure or the option to pull them out of those lessons. >> but then you end up with that has to be the option. and i particularly worry about muslim kids because there is a real lobby from small communities. >> i'm happy for the national curriculum to set the broad boundaries. so the national curriculum is set, the broad boundaries, but at the moment it's unbelievab really specific, and parents have very little power and left wing teachers unions and politicians seem to have far too much power. >> this is honestly, i promise you, this is about protecting children. the reason i don't like talking about sex with my child. it's not a comfortable conversation, but the more you talk, the countries that have the lowest levels of paedophilia, abuse and teen pregnancy and stis are the country in the netherlands that have the earliest consistent sex education. well, that has to be. >> it has to be a choice for the parents. >> would he though? no, no, no disrespect no disrespect. >> just said he doesn't. >> just said he doesn't. >> my daughter is ten. if she asked me where babies come from, my answer will be something like something happens between mummy and daddy, mummy and daddy and then down the down the line. please stop saying that she does not. please stop saying that

it's giving me the uhmwpe right? because we've got to protect their innocence and teaching them not not teaching them too much in school , especially this much in school, especially this trans agenda. they have no reason to know it. why are these teachers pushing it on our children? it's very sinister and it's wrong. and i'm glad the government is stepping in. they're trying to protect them. >> there's nothing to say. there's nothing innocent about knowing about sex. >> rebecca. i'm sorry, i do think there is. you think there is? >> my hard drive checked because i tell my daughter what happened. >> but i think you're all right. right? | >> but i think you're all right. right? i think you're all right. lots of us are. yeah, and i'm sure lots of you are as well. but there does appear to me to be a mad rush now to sexualise kids from a very early age, and i do have seen drag queens in schools. >> why do drag queens? why do drag queens schools, drag queens are in libraries and themed drag queens have read stories in schools. i've printed things out. >> some of these books look very disturbing. that's not a book i would necessarily choose to have. >> i choose to have. i'm not sure that should be in any

school. right? it's not just a question of what you choose to issue the side of provided. >> i've got to ask side of it, i care because i'll ask this to protect it. why do so many on the left defend this drag queens in schools, defend these schools, defend these? they are defend these books that show mutilation in the trans , agenda. mutilation in the trans, agenda. why does so many on the left defend this? >> because we choose to educate our children rather than lie to them, and rather, that's absolute nonsense. we tell them the reality of what is happening. we don't necessarily condone it, but there is an i don't admit that i'm going to have to move it on. >> we're gonna have to move it on. look thank you very much. you know, good, proper, robust discussion right at the top of the hour. coming up, an nhs trial scheme dubbed game of stones will pay fat men £400 to lose weight. but why the hell are we rewarding people just for getting into shape? we debate that, and i'll bring you the very first look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but next, rishi sunak promised today that violent criminals would not be free to walk our streets . but

free to walk our streets. but i've got a gb news exclusive for you about a murderer that we've released early. yeah, make sure you stay tuned. it's patrick christys night on gb news. the big exclusive coming your way in

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. now there was chaos at magistrates courts across the country today. as hundreds of heanngs country today. as hundreds of hearings were postponed at the

last minute due to prison overcrowding. so the delays follow the ministry of justice's decision to implement operation early dawn, which means that defendants who are likely to be remanded into custody will have to remain in police cells until a prison place frees up. all right, so labour leader sir keir starmer today accused rishi sunak of wanting to issue get out of jail free cards to criminals. >> just the early release of stalkers , domestic abusers and stalkers, domestic abusers and those considered a risk to children sound like the work of someone who is making the country more secure. >> mr speaker, as i've said, as i've said, no one should be put on this scheme if they are a threat to the public. and let me be crystal clear, it does not 6my be crystal clear, it does not apply . it absolutely does not apply. it absolutely does not 6my apply. it absolutely does not apply to anyone serving a life sentence. anyone convicted of a serious, violent offence, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of terrorism, anyone convicted of a sex offence. >> can i just say you know, bit

rich from keir starmer, isn't it? given some of the absolute wrong'uns that he's defended, he said he's had to do it. the cab rank rule, all of that stuff. but you know, some absolute wrong'uns that keir starmer is giving legal advice to over the years. but anyway, tough talk back from the prime minister. but a gb news investigation can reveal that violent criminals are actually being released from prison due to overcrowding. this is outside of operation early dawn, we can exclusively reveal now that murderer daniel white, who shot a millionaire's wife in the head while stealing her expensive rolex, is already free and walking the streets white was jailed for life over the brutal execution of giuseppina marcenaro in front of her husband back in the year 2000, but he has now been deemed safe for release by the parole board. his accomplice , jason james, who his accomplice, jason james, who snatched her £13,000 rolex from her wrist as she lay dying outside her home, was sentenced to five life terms for the cold

blooded killing and robbery , but blooded killing and robbery, but is currently going through a parole review as well. and krays drug addict stephen soanes wade, who mercilessly murdered security guard christophe duclos by pushing him in front of a train at an east london tube station in 2002, could also be free from jail in just weeks. so has that made a complete mockery of rishi sunak's tough talk at pmqs? are all of these dangerous people they won't be released due to overcrowding? let me bnngin due to overcrowding? let me bring in now retired prison governor vanessa. vanessa, thank you very , very much. great to you very, very much. great to have you on the show. thank you. now, are we releasing some absolute dangerous rhiannon jones due to overcrowding that otherwise, frankly, we would wish to keep in prison for the rest of their natural lives? >> well, i think i think there's a couple of things there, patrick. good evening. anyways, the first thing is, is the parole process is totally separate to the early release scheme. the early release scheme is for determinate sentences of less than four years. these

three that you've quoted were all given life sentences with tariffs ranging from 20, 25 and 13 years. my understanding is , 13 years. my understanding is, is that the first one you mentioned, daniel white, was was, sentenced, with a tariff of 20 years in 2000. so he's gone over his tariff. so he hasn't been released early , the second been released early, the second one is going through it. he's coming up to 25 years. and that is a natural thing for a life sentence prisoner to go through. i'd be highly surprised if he managed to get parole, unless he's been an absolute angel for the last 25 years, first time and the other one only got a 13 year tariff. so you know, he's he's clearly gone way over to tariff as well and still and still hasn't been released. so yeah that's a so rishi sunak is rishi sunak is right. >> i mean look we've we've highlighted that just some really nasty pieces of work who have served long sentences and many people will think should

never see the light of day again. however, that's not really what this early release due to overcrowding thing is about. presumably that's more for what prolific shoplifters or people who've got a got a lesser sentence. is that still not dangerous to the public? i mean, what is what is the deterrent there for people who've gone on and commit even things like domestic abuse? right. and you know, then they get two years, they get early release and you think, well, they'll just do it again, won't they? >> well, i mean, who knows. it depends how committed they are to leading a life of no crime. but but, the early release scheme, i mean, it's clearly not working because, they've gone from the 18 days early release to the 30 odd days release. and now from the 23rd of may, they're going to 70 days early release. and the worrying thing about that is that, first and foremost, it's very unfair to victims of crime, who see somebody sentenced and expect them to do that. that sentence . them to do that. that sentence. the second thing is it's also

unfair to the prisoner themselves because most of them won't be ready for release. they'll have resettlement issues, housing, and let's not forget, of course, it's the probation service that has to monitor these. >> yeah, exactly. could i just ask you about how bad overcrowding actually is in prisons ? prisons? >> i mean, it's massive, you know , we're in dire straits, the know, we're in dire straits, the prison service and i think that it's really worrying for members of the public to think that, you know, should we have a riots as we did in, you know, 2010? we've got nowhere to put these people. and, you know, we can't possibly get ourselves into a situation where our prisons are so full that we can't actually put people in prison, which is which is, you know, this is this is lack of foresight. this is. yeah sorting it after the horse has bolted, you know , this this bolted, you know, this this should have been sorted a long time ago, but i am i just like time ago, but i am ijust like to say that, you know, keir starmer saying get out of jail

free card. he forgets that in 2006, two thousand and seven, jack straw did exactly the same thing as this, as when he was home secretary. and that lasted for three years, because again, the government doesn't see the pfison the government doesn't see the prison service as a, as a as a investable opportunity and just lets it go to rack and ruin . and lets it go to rack and ruin. and we are where we are because of that, because of lack of investment. >> okay vanessa, always great to chat. thank you very, very much . chat. thank you very, very much. really enlightening stuff. you take care. i'll talk to you again very soon. in relation to that release of daniel white that release of daniel white that we mentioned earlier on, a ministry of justice spokesperson has said this. the decision to release daniel white was made by the independent parole board after a thorough risk assessment. he will be on licence for the rest of his life and can be recalled to prison if he breaks the terms of his relief and responding to the implementation of this operation, early dawn, a ministry of justice spokesman said to manage this demand, we have brought on thousands of extra places at pace and will introduce strategic oversight. the transfer of remanded offenders from police custody to

maintain the running of the justice system. this government is categorical that dangerous offenders should stay behind bars, which is why new laws will keep rapists locked up for every day of their prison sentence, and ensure life means life in the most horrific murderers. yet look, absolutely. and i do not have any time for keir starmer by the way, saying how you know. oh, rishi sunak soft on justice, softer on justice than he actually was when he was in the legal game. however, we do need to build more prisons, don't we? coming up, should the nhs be paying coming up, should the nhs be paying obese men £400 just to lose a bit of weight? plus the use of today have no clue about the sacrifice our forefathers made . made. >> rhiannon history student. but no, it is a little bit i don't really know. i'm pretty sure it's when you said okay, that was supposed to be some stuff about d—day there. >> i'll play the full clip very shortly. right? right after we bnng shortly. right? right after we bring you the liveliest paper review you will get anywhere on

welcome back to patrick christys tonight. only on gb news. now it's tonight. only on gb news. now wsfime tonight. only on gb news. now it's time to bring you the very first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. let's do it . right. front pages. let's do it. right. i'm going to start with the daily mail. europe on edge. after pro—russian slovak pm is gunned down. the ukraine conflict is escalating. fears that putin will exploit the attack to destabilise the nato nation. there's also a lot of unrest taking place in georgia as well. it must be said. let's go over to the metro uk teams prevention breakthrough blood tests to give us seven year nofice tests to give us seven year notice of cancer. a simple blood test could detect cancer in people seven years before symptoms show. i wonder, you know , that kind of hypothetical know, that kind of hypothetical question that people ask each other sometimes like, oh, if you could find out how and when you were going to die, would you like to know? it does strike me that this is maybe actually becoming more of a reality. i'd want to know. wouldn't you can be treated for this? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> if you catch cancer early, you won't die of it.

>> exactly. that's true. that's true. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. unless you got really unlucky. >> yeah. in the matrix on the blue pillar. like two. no, nothing. just like blissful ignorance. >> just wait. let it wash over you. right. moving on. guardian slovakian leader fighting for his life after assassination attempt. yeah, as i'm sure a lot of you will have seen earlier on, slovakia's populist prime minister robert fico, is being treated for life threatening injuries . as i understand it, he injuries. as i understand it, he is still being treated for life threatening injuries. the condition has not got worse or better. he was shot earlier on today, let's go to the are uk's toxic water illegal sewage parasite in taps and higher bills on the way. so yeah , bills on the way. so yeah, apparently some people are having to boil water now because there's supposedly i don't want to like needlessly scaremongering here, but apparently there's a diarrhoea type parasite living in the taps , there's, you know, windermere beauty spot in the lake district is also, you know, millions of litres of raw sewage that can i

just say is an utter crime. you know, i used to live around that part of the world. having raw sewage pumped into windermere is ridiculous. let's go over to the mirror, though, care to mirror readers ? this is keir starmer. readers? this is keir starmer. our first steps to make britain work again for working people one. deliver economic stability two. cut nhs waiting times three. launch a new border command four. set up great british energy five. crackdown on antisocial behaviour six. recruit 6500 new teachers. my six fixes for britain. well, as i'm about to show you, unfortunately for sir keir starmer, the times have decided to run with the story today highlighting that none of these are new pledges and therefore , are new pledges and therefore, and they won't do it. and, and i think also picking them apart, one by one. so, you know, the news giveth the news taketh away. let's just bring in my panel on this now. i think mark, i'll start with you, keir starmer's big six pledges, none of which apparently are new. but that hasn't stopped the mirror splashing with it. >> yeah, and they're not very specific either. deliver economic stability . that's a bit economic stability. that's a bit different to economic growth. i mean, the economy is relatively

stable. it'sjust mean, the economy is relatively stable. it's just flatlining cut nhs waiting times. good luck with that. unless you're going to reform the nhs board of command. maybe. i was talking to the tory mp robert jenrick earlier this week. i think there might be a case for splitting the home office into border control and crime prevention . control and crime prevention. great british energy. oh my god, that's going to be a vanity project. that's going to that's going to have the state trying to run energy crackdown on anti—social behaviour. need to see more. recruit 6500 new teachers. where are you going to get the money from there isn't any. >> well tax, tax, tax i would imagine we're taxing to the max already patrick. well yeah we are. no we are. >> we can always take more. >> we can always take more. >> you can't you can't can't 38% in national. no, i don't trust you, rebecca. 38% in national income is the most any government in british democratic history has ever squeezed out of the economy. >> less than 38 at one point. and then it went up. i'm not saying i want it. >> 38 is the most any government of any stripe, the highest in the world, i believe. >> i'm not saying economy about it, i'm just saying and we're at

that peak now. >> we're at that peak now. there's no more money to be gained. >> i don't think there's many people that believe that the labour party are going to cut crime. >> no, he doesn't even say that anti—social behaviour, which would probably be some rules and laws about being able to swear at various people. >> yeah, possibly graffiti. >> yeah, possibly graffiti. >> i don't believe a word keir starmer or labour party say. >> do you believe a word that the tories say that no. >> see, this is the problem, isn't it? at least this is it, though, isn't it? >> this way at least it's the ones you don't like in charge. so you'll get to have a break from having to try and find something good about the people in charge and just be cross. i mean, it's difficult. >> i mean, we did it. look, we did a story earlier on about how, you know, there was quite we treated it as good news. it looked as though we'd stood up to the mighty irish and said, oh, we're not going to be taking back illegal migrants. and then, you know, today it turns out we've actually been doing that. yeah you know, and there's a lot of these things where you see rishi sunak saying one thing, you know, oh, i'll leave the echr basically say, well, i don't think anyone thinks he's got any intention of really. >> he's never had he never.

>> he's never had he never. >> and i don't think so. but so, so you lose faith with that. and then you see keir starmer, six pledges on the front of the mirror and you realise none of them are new actually, and they are quite vague and one of them is great british energy, which is great british energy, which is ed miliband's job to again it's tax, tax, tax. so yeah i suppose modern politics. but starmer had a blooper today as he failed to read out one of his many scripted insults in the house of commons watch. >> mr speaker, he must be the only tech bro brother on the continent who can't work a debit card or send an email. >> hey look, we've got sorry guys ' >> hey look, we've got sorry guys , we've got to play that guys, we've got to play that again. we've got to. so he's trying to say he's trying to say. he's trying to say tech bro. yeah. so it's okay. you're a tech bro i don't think he wrote silicon valley. he didn't write it. and he's gone . write it. and he's gone. >> he must be the only tech bro brother . on the contrary, who brother. on the contrary, who can't work a debit card or send an email. >> it's. what's that? it's the tech, bro. but it's like he's scared of the word. what is it like when someone drops a glass in a pub and everyone goes way like, it's nice, that one thing that we still have is that when

somebody embarrasses themselves, we can all laugh at them. yeah. what it means to be when you used to drop your plate at school dinner. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> everyone, i'll tell you what. you're right here. that i would say that was a script written for him . yeah. and not the sort for him. yeah. and not the sort of words, language or intonation that he would usually use. and he just sort of got to it and kind of thought, what the hell is tech, bro? whatever. so mind and mouth were not in sync, but it's just the fundamental lack of kind of human and interpersonal skills. >> you'd have to laugh it off, wouldn't you? recoil a bit like this and i found it a bit odd. i find it a bit odd, but hey, you know, i mean, it wouldn't be like me to mess up reading a script that somebody else threw for them, would it ? script that somebody else threw for them, would it? now script that somebody else threw for them, would it ? now the script that somebody else threw for them, would it? now the nhs have been paying obese man £400 to shift their weight through a trial scheme . nickname game of trial scheme. nickname game of stones. an alternative to weight loss groups. so 585 men were sent daily text messages reminding them of their desire to lose weight. my ex used to do that to me and were told that they'd lose out of the £400 cash if they failed to slim down. so

apparently this has proved out to be a somewhat of a success, as the men lost an average of 4.8% of their body weight last year. 4.8% of their body weight last year . okay, should cash rewards, year. okay, should cash rewards, though, be rolled out on the nhs? and should it really not just fall on the responsibility of the individual to lose the weight? adam, you're you're a man in in fact. sorry, mark. adam, you're a man who's especially been fat should, you know, should should should should the nhs be paying blokes to amber? >> well, firstly, it's sexist and secondly , i'm not and secondly, i'm not particularly happy that my tax payer or tax payers money is going to be funding many, not all obese, lazy, greedy people all. and you can lose weight if you want to. this is ridiculous. >> yeah i mean go on. >> yeah i mean go on. >> well i mean this is a reality tv show isn't it? rather than the nhs sort of, you know, can you win the £400 prize? yeah. i mean, what's nuts about it is

where does this end? i mean , i'm where does this end? i mean, i'm going to watch my football team on friday night. i usually have 4 or 5 pints. supposing i limit myself to 2 or 3. can i get £10 from the nhs, please ? supposing from the nhs, please? supposing i walk to the stadium rather than taking a cab, do i get a £5 kickback from the national health service? i think we've got to place this much more on the patient and for some treatments , if you need certain treatments, if you need certain treatments, if you need certain treatments or health, you need to abide by a particular plan in order to work. >> i suppose the argument which they are making is that, well, if these people didn't lose weight, that they would end up costing the taxpayer a lot more in the long run anyway. so we might as well, for the sake of a few, you're rewarding some that are greedy and lazy, and that is the wrong message to give. >> well, the best way for people to lose weight is to kind of feel that they deserve a better quality of life. so there are lots of studies show that if you sort of hate yourself, you're more likely to sort of sit. you really gain weight, lose weight, gain weight, lose weight. at the end of it, you'll be higher than you were to start with. if you can find a way to enjoy

nutrition, to cook food that you enjoy, to move your body in a way that feels good, all of those things support weight. weight loss in a sustainable way. this kind of obsessive got to do it for the money, even though it's not actually enough money for you to change your life forever. that doesn't actually do anything long term. it won't save the nhs any money. and i think also it's just relatively cruel to make people feel badly about it. i'm up for this though. >> well, i mean, i think i do think they have volunteers. >> i don't think the fat let me hang on a minute. the nhs has messaged me saying i'm a fat, i'm up. >> i'm up for this. where do i apply? i mean, i want to lose over. >> oven >> you're eligible. >> you're eligible. >> you're eligible. >> you're not eligible. maher maaroufe my body weight. i'm happy with this. >> will be abused. this will be abused as well by some. >> i don't think anyone's going to get fat deliberately to make £400, to be honest with you. >> i've thought about it. >> i've thought about it. >> right. okay so coming up, labour flaunt the fact that they love identity politics. >> i haven't even got anything on my lanyard. i'm just wearing it to wind up the minister for common sense . common sense. >> plus, with the average fan expected to spend nearly £850

attending a taylor swift concert are fans being exploited or are they just idiots? my panel are divided on that. i've got more of tomorrow's front pages as well. stay tuned

welcome back to patrick christys. tonight i've got more front pages for you . we start front pages for you. we start with the telegraph nhs turns on doctors who blow the whistle over safety staff claim that their careers have been destroyed as bosses sought to conceal concerns. now, can i just say, anybody out there who's ever had an experience with the nhs, where a loved one has received absolutely awful care? this will come as no surprise to you to learn that the staff are in some way silenced anyway. cyclist oh yes, also, cyclists who kill face life sentences like dangerous drivers good and pay road tax as

well. now the times primary schools will instruct pupils to ration their time online. relationship tips and sex education guidance to be published today, which is tomorrow, sets minimum ages for the first time on lessons about pornography and sexual acts. we've just got this a little bit already tonight. the times also, frankly, well, how do i phrase this urinates on keir starmers big six pledges by saying that they are no new policies, but they are no new policies, but they do vow to control borders. so we are having to believe now that keir starmer is the man to control the borders . and we go control the borders. and we go to the daily express. britain goes pension cashing crazy, which, to be honest with you, sounds a bit like a giveaway, doesn't it? but there we go. britons are racing to cash in their pensions early to help with the cost of living. interesting. this actually as the uk economy starts to recover, many pension savers cannot wait to dip into their pension pots. they're cashing in early . so there we go. right? early. so there we go. right? okay, now i'm just going to i'm going to whizz straight on with

my press pack here. i've got as you are. well aware by now, the director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood, businessman and activist adam brooks, and author and journalist rebecca reid. now here's a story that relates to the uk's supposed cost of living crisis . and it's about crisis. and it's about taylorswift. okay, so by the end of taylor swift's record breaking tour, she's touted to have made an astounding $2 billion. but she won't be the only winner. so a consumer spending report by barclays bank has predicted that her 50 mean performances across four uk cities. so she's performing in edinburgh, in liverpool, in cardiff and london. apparently thatis cardiff and london. apparently that is going to boost the uk economy by £1 billion. i think that's remarkable. apparently swifties will each spend £850 to attend a gig forking out on accommodation, tickets, transports , merchendise, a new transports, merchendise, a new outfit and new outfit for a gig. come on anyway, right ? whatever. come on anyway, right? whatever. but are the fans? and let's be honest, they're parents getting taken advantage of now. rebecca,

taylor swift has a has a brass neck charging these gullible, idiotic fans £850 a ticket. >> i would say that my parents have a lot to complain about, but taylorswift tickets is probably not one of them, and i'm not sure that the perception of her fans being teenagers is quite as accurate as i'd like it to be, but yeah, no, i'm going to be, but yeah, no, i'm going to taylor swift concert , but i to taylor swift concert, but i think so. my ticket was like 200. >> how many times are you going 7 up. up? >> twice . >> twice. >> twice. >> i'm only paying for it once. >> i'm only paying for it once. >> how much is your ticket? >> how much is your ticket? >> sorry, £300. >> sorry, £300. >> wow. so then i'm going to get the tube there and i will get quite drunk. but that'll cost like £50. so that's about it. like one, one vape and a bottle of tequila. that's not going to be £850. >> i mean it's supply and demand , right? yeah. >> this is why we need more hospitality, more going on, more people coming more more creativity. we actually should have built that stupid sphere. >> also, this country needs. when you break this down, right? you have the average ticket price is £206 apparently. although the vip packages are 400. but then the rest of it is an average of £121 on accommodation. yeah well, that's

nothing to do with taylor swift. you're not staying in her hotel for that. >> you've still got to travel 110 on transport. >> £78 on official merchandise, £60 on a meal beforehand, £216 on alcohol, unofficial merchandise and the rest? well, i mean, only a small proportion of this is taylor swift stuff. and by the way, it's not boosting the uk economy by £1 billion. if you weren't going to a taylor swift concert, you would be spending the money on someone else very much. >> that's my thought as well. >> that's my thought as well. >> i mean, i'm not an economist, but i thought just because you are, you are, you know, lobbing money in and around taylor swift's orbit , does that swift's orbit, does that actually mean you are boosting the uk economy by £1 billion, not money you might otherwise like. >> money . money that i might >> money. money that i might have put into savings? well, that's great in a way that's good.i that's great in a way that's good. i love the savings. >> money is used. it doesn't just sit in a basement . it >> money is used. it doesn't just sit in a basement. it is lent for things like investment decisions. >> well, if it's just like in my bank account, if it's in my overdraft. >> all right . >> all right. >> all right. >> in your bank account, what i will say, see this offer again . will say, see this offer again. >> as a parent, i do not know how a normal family can afford to take their kids at £200, the

kids at £200 a ticket. i do okay, but wow . if my kids wanted okay, but wow. if my kids wanted to go and see taylor swift, i'm not paying £3,200 per ticket for football match. >> i'm going to on friday's 120. >> i'm going to on friday's120. >> i'm going to on friday's120. >> can i just say your kids are two? i agree with you. >> i don't want this. >> i don't want this. >> i do agree with you, but i had a look at going and watching united. liverpool. how much is that a few years back and by the time i'd paid for the train from london back to manchester, bought the ticket and whatever i would have on a match day, that was back when i was really getting stuck in as well. it was quite a lot. and then come back again. i was like £750 lighter. >> so honestly, every time you're going to do it costs that much. >> okay. right now, esther mcvey announced her desire to ban rainbow lanyards being worn by civil servants, but her labour colleagues seem to have other ideas. here's dawn butler's mature and measured response . mature and measured response. >> i haven't even got anything on my lanyard. i'm just wearing it. to wind up the minister for

common sense and the government, who think that it's offensive have to bloody show solidarity. so here we go . so here we go. >> okay. all right, adams, i'll just show that labour are obsessed with identity politics. >> i find her very unlikeable. >> i find her very unlikeable. >> right. okay. was that the question? i don't . question? i don't. >> i don't think that's what anybody. >> that is so childish and that sort of just, you know, shows and highlights what uk politics is like at the moment. they are like children , whether they've like children, whether they've got a red rosette or a blue rosette. i mean, i'll tell you the remarkable thing here is it looks like esther mcvey isn't going to be able to ban these lanyards, actually, so we can't even , you know, the government even, you know, the government can't even control what the civil service does lanyard level, let alone anything else. >> but we are we are, we are pressed for time. >> so i'm just going to whiz it on actually. so greatest britain union jack time. let's do it right okay, so, let's start mark, with your greatest britain honorary richard scolyer, the 57 year old australian doctor.
