[00:03:06] of let's see what we got here. all right, what should we lead [00:03:09] of with? [00:03:09] of fancy, do the independent place? yes, let's do the [00:03:11] independence, it's [00:03:14] a reveling of in self-glory, because it's 40 years [00:03:17] old, and so they've chosen their front page today, they [00:03:22] of a put 15 incredibly famous people on the front page, none of whom have ever read the [00:03:26] independent, which is quite some achievement, yeah. [00:03:30] Yeah, 40th anniversary, we we celebrate the thinkers who have inspired and [00:03:33] changed the world in that time and give you the chance to be one of [00:03:37] our new voices. Well, hey, hey, that's an idea from my show, I have my great [00:03:41] British voices, you know [00:03:43] a what, happy to see Maggie Thatcher [00:03:45] of on there, I mean I'm struggling to [00:03:47] in recognize who after these people are, like when the strictly people come out, you have to work out who the [00:03:50] celebrities are, it's a bit like that, like [00:03:53] in Barack Obama, Maggie, I [00:03:55] in see, Elon Musk, I'm running out at that point, else we [00:03:59] got. David Bowy, David Bowy, Simon Rusty, [00:04:02] Malala, Opera [00:04:04] Winfrey, um, who's the lady [00:04:08] use messier, [00:04:09] of Tracy Emmin, Elon Musk, where is she, oh [00:04:13] yeah, I'm winning the bingo here tonight, aren't I, but what, I mean, [00:04:16] of this the old lady, this is rather self-congratulatory, I think is a what [00:04:20] of in, it certainly is, up itself might be another way, I'm not quite sure what [00:04:24] they're trying to achieve with this headline, but there we are, well now Stephen Hawkins is there, they're trying to say that [00:04:28] we have been bringing you independent [00:04:31] news for the last 40 years and we're celebrating now with some people who [00:04:35] were recognizable at the time, [00:04:37] of interesting. of all of right, let's have [00:04:38] of look at the front page [00:04:39] of the telegraph. um, let's have look, should we look at the Putin's cease fire? [00:04:42] putin breaks Trump's cease fire, say Russia strikes Ukrainian energy [00:04:46] science hours after US president claims [00:04:49] a a truce was agreed. this is sort [00:04:51] of the same sort of Iran sort of situation we having with Donald Trump where he [00:04:55] says there's a seas far and of course there isn't, of course there isn't, at least he's [00:04:58] trying. very badly and like [00:05:01] poorly, just poor, [00:05:03] of poorly, i think he is one [00:05:05] of the worst statesman i've actually ever seen in my lifetime, my [00:05:09] 24 years, but i'm [00:05:11] you know compared to... think the actual greats like Reagan, it's just [00:05:15] rid ridiculous got [00:05:16] to be pretty bad though, who's worse Star or [00:05:19] Trump? Well, [00:05:21] you know what, I'm a brit, so I'm always going to say Trump is [00:05:24] worse, because ultimately I'm British, [00:05:27] like the issue with this surely is that you know [00:05:31] Putin is waging an imperialist war of [00:05:34] conquest right, he's not just he doesn't want to cease far, he wants to [00:05:38] destroy and subjugate Ukraine, and you can't negotiate. [00:05:42] with that, you have to take it on and defeat it, so the idea [00:05:46] you can do deal, this the art the deal is not a real estate in New York [00:05:50] deal that Trump seems to think it is, [00:05:53] it is geopolitics and he's so Trump is so plainly out of his [00:05:56] depth when dealing with these big issues, this is the the [00:06:00] consequence, well sorry, yeah no, sorry if [00:06:04] i interrupted there Paul, um, i think it's rather ironic that [00:06:08] because of course the front page the telegraph and the mail are linked in terms [00:06:11] these Ukraine stories - [00:06:15] and I find it utterly appalling that [00:06:18] Boris Johnson wants to pop up with some hair brain [00:06:22] scheme, essentially he was prime minister, was he not [00:06:25] when Ukraine got invaded, and if he had been any [00:06:29] form of leader then what he would have done is [00:06:33] rallied a coalition, not the willing, a coalition [00:06:37] the able, and if we'd come together with a large [00:06:40] percentage of NATO..." countries for example, and we'd [00:06:44] smashed Putin's army back to Moscow and kicked its [00:06:48] rear end in the process once it had got back from the territory [00:06:52] of Ukraine that it had unlawfully invaded, then none of [00:06:56] this would be happening today, none of it would have occurred, but we didn't [00:07:00] have any politicians with a spine to take on [00:07:03] Putin the day he invaded and send his troops back, well Boris [00:07:07] got the spine now on the daily mail where he's no longer in politics, making [00:07:11] suggestions. and what should happenly reckless, but can I just say as much [00:07:15] as I'd love to believe that we could kick Putin's ass, the [00:07:19] point we just we don't, we're not what we used to be, we're not this [00:07:23] great empire, [00:07:25] you know, we're not a great power, we have very weakened defense, the reality is we don't have enough [00:07:29] money, I mean, did you not hear me say rally a [00:07:32] coalition the able, [00:07:35] so who in in the EU, for example, our closest neighbors would be able, the [00:07:39] whole of Europe, after decades of EU mismanagement, yeah, in complete [00:07:42] austerity and crisis, NATO, yeah, NATO [00:07:46] frequently has operations and exercises [00:07:49] and NATO could have put forward a force [00:07:53] that would have sent Putin's murderous troops back [00:07:57] from whence they came, but we don't have politicians with a [00:08:01] spine, but NATO is defensive alliance, they will tell you that, so they're peacekeeping [00:08:04] force, they're not really meant to be uh going on the offense, which [00:08:08] is what their excuses every time, I said use NATO countries. [00:08:12] 'and of course we could have had perhaps our friends from America which [00:08:16] were under very different leadership at the time, but of course no [00:08:20] one, no politician at the spine or even suggest it, let [00:08:24] alone put [00:08:24] it into action, and if we done that, Putin would have been taught a lesson, we [00:08:28] wouldn't have the energy crisis we've got today, and the world would be better, [00:08:32] more peaceful place as result of it, I think people thought that Putin might sort of [00:08:36] quit, they thought that perhaps they could not appease him but kind [00:08:39] of uh work with him and communicate'. with [00:08:42] conversation and negotiation, but of course that's not what evidently not, mean i [00:08:46] remember, [00:08:48] i think they tried that first, trust said some comments i think on like [00:08:51] um some radio show and putin came out with like oh i'm just going to nuke the [00:08:55] uk, like this man is completely unhinged in in the way he [00:08:59] deals with his foreign policy, not to be [00:09:02] trusted, i don't think you can you can't obviously negotiate with [00:09:06] some kind of you know exactly, so that's why you beat his army back from whence [00:09:10] they came, i just don't that doesn't sound practical to me, that doesn't sound sensible to [00:09:14] me, well you can be done, because if you look at the fact that it's just a [00:09:18] small country, Ukraine that has held off this Russian invasion for what, [00:09:22] three, four years, it has developed a war economy, it's developed [00:09:26] technology beyond anything we can imagine in the drone technology, the robots that are [00:09:29] now, all that Putin is doing is shoving young men into the [00:09:33] grinder, increasing numbers including young men from [00:09:36] korea and and and and mercenaries and [00:09:40] they average life expectance is 19. minutes and Ukraine [00:09:44] has managed to stop them in their tracks, which is astonishing [00:09:48] military feet given the comparable sizes the countries, [00:09:52] and and like Peter says, if we had just properly armed them and allowed them [00:09:56] to done it properly, then the Russians would have been sent [00:09:59] back, and that's the way you deal with aggressors, you have to stand up to them, you can't appease [00:10:03] them, you can't negotiate with them, you have to defeat them, there's been [00:10:07] millions, millions of our taxpayers money also poured into Ukraine into [00:10:11] defend, and whilst I'm not, you know, 'I just don't know if it's [00:10:15] if it's our business to be getting involved in [00:10:16] that and this is not because you say it has to be, but I i don't see [00:10:20] why our tax payer's money should be diverted to foreign wars that have no effect on [00:10:24] us'. does have an effect on us cuz they are trying to undermine our economy and there [00:10:28] are examples of sabotage in the UK, they try to fire bomb the prime minister's [00:10:32] house you know and they are disrupting our [00:10:35] businesses, but I think when you actually [00:10:39] really go into the history of Ukraine and Russia, it's such a [00:10:43] long, long conflict, it's an independent country that was minding it [00:10:47] democracy, it's an independent democracy which has been [00:10:50] invaded by an autocratic leader [00:10:54] and and of course... 'Ukraine is known as the bread basket of Europe, so [00:10:58] much of what we are paying more money for today in our supermarkets [00:11:02] is a direct result of this conflict which is [00:11:05] needlessly going on and on and on, well of [00:11:09] course [00:11:09] uh Russia were signatory to Budapest memorandum which uh [00:11:13] asked Ukraine to disarm, get rid of all the nuclear weapons and if there was a problem then [00:11:17] Russia, I think it was also the UK, Northern Ireland and [00:11:21] a couple of other countries would get together, France and America would'. together to [00:11:25] protect, but unfortunately um it seems and Russia were part of [00:11:29] part of that saying they would protect, but of course they breach that and one outcome has to be [00:11:33] Ukraine joining NATO, once the Russians have been defeated Ukraine needs to join [00:11:37] NATO, well I mean a lot of people argue that that would that would [00:11:40] upset Putin or whatever, but I don't really care, I think Ukraine sovereign nation, they should do [00:11:44] what they wanted, if they want this cowardly attitude towards upset [00:11:48] Putin, [00:11:49] I mean what cuz he's got nukes, stand up to the man, [00:11:53] it's the only way you deal with bullies. is by standing up to [00:11:56] him, not cow towing to him, and definitely not cowtowing, I just think I take [00:12:00] a very sensible and practical approach, which is based on what I've plainly seen in [00:12:04] conflict throughout history, doesn't end well for anybody, and I don't want [00:12:08] British lives being lost at the front line of a conflict, which doesn't [00:12:12] affect us, well the alternative could be worse, and we don't know what what to do about that, but the [00:12:16] Metro also leads Russia rolling Brexit again more on Russia, [00:12:19] and Addie Burnham said that there is clear evidence that Russia interfered [00:12:23] in the... is it vote, he said that he had asked if the [00:12:27] Kremlin had medaled in the 2016 referendum when he [00:12:31] uh entered number 10 in July and was given the clear answer that [00:12:35] yes there was [00:12:36] is believed to be the first time PM has confirmed Vladimir Putin tried to influence the [00:12:40] vote all this [00:12:41] okay I mean look election [00:12:43] hear interference I and all of that and I think yeah but it's probably happening [00:12:46] the other way around as during the well Brexit [00:12:48] remember but I we were we were given uh [00:12:51] flyers e I think the government spent £8 million pounds to tell us 'we [00:12:55] should stay in the EU, so there's interference from all sides and it was down to the [00:12:59] individuals to make up their minds what they wanted and what they thought, I think it's a [00:13:02] bit, I think it's a bit much thinking that we were all [00:13:05] persuaded by Russia, it's it's obviously, it's a [00:13:09] joke, but when the result is so finely balanced as being [00:13:13] a few percentage points either way, the [00:13:16] briefing that he's describing is the one you get when you become the prime minister and [00:13:20] the security service sits you down and talks you through the threats [00:13:24] that are being faced by this nation, so that's what he's [00:13:27] referring to, and he is telling us, he is telling us that the [00:13:31] Russians, according to our security services interfered in that Brexit [00:13:35] vote, now I agree with Peter, I want to see the evidence for that, because that is a big [00:13:39] big claim, it certainly fits in with the bigger picture of Russia's interference in all the other [00:13:43] things we're doing, including our businesses and NHS and everything else, these [00:13:46] massive hacking factories they have, and all the stuff being pumped into our social [00:13:50] media, but I want to see the evidence, but it is serious [00:13:53] threat, them and they said yes, like if you ask them, they will say [00:13:57] yes, of course they going to say yes, even, I mean, I'm sure they did try and interfere, but [00:14:01] they're always interfering in all sorts of things, and I guess we probably do the same on other fronts, [00:14:05] I just, I don't know whether I don't think that would have made difference to the [00:14:09] outcome. At the end the day, um, Burnham is now a position [00:14:13] whereby his judgment will be called into question, and of course [00:14:17] senior politicians, particularly prime ministers, judgment is [00:14:21] very, very important thing, Paul is right that of course. [00:14:25] security services brief our prime ministers, but it's not like they've got [00:14:28] an unblemished record, is it? let's all think about [00:14:32] Iraq for example, and a war that we shouldn't have got [00:14:35] into, um, so we will have to see [00:14:39] what uh burnham's judgment capabilities are [00:14:42] like, will be interesting, won't it, but yes, [00:14:46] so even if they did interfere, I'm not sure it would have affected the outcome, [00:14:50] and there's interference in all sorts of things, I mean someone may have had a coffee that [00:14:53] interfered with the way the... thinking and then [00:14:57] you in the end there are so many things that interfere [00:15:01] of thinking what you've had for breakfast whether you've eaten or not in the [00:15:05] end i just think what what they said something on social media oh i'm going to go along with that [00:15:09] cuz i've eaten a quason and i feel my stomach bloated [00:15:12] now i don't know i just [00:15:14] i don't think it made difference to the yeah all i see is that i'm really like this [00:15:18] sort of headlines is quite strikes me is quite sinister because we all know that the [00:15:21] political establishment are desperate to try to kind of [00:15:25] get us back into the EU whichever way they can, and quite [00:15:28] frankly, this is propaganda to my mind, having a massive headline, Russia roll [00:15:32] in Brexit, I mean we had vote, yes, as you said, Paul, it was [00:15:36] finely balanced. but the people made it very clear as to [00:15:40] what that mandate was and in 2019 Boris [00:15:43] basically stood a Brexit election um [00:15:47] manifesto and it was get Brexit done and he [00:15:50] got stunking majority so I think that really shows you that the appatite for [00:15:53] Brexit never left all right let's have look at this one on the sun [00:15:57] front cover the sun bosses census slogan in [00:16:01] vid yeah the BBC instructed transban Raw [00:16:05] okay so this is this is about the BBC that in bro a censorship row [00:16:09] after they edited out t-shirt slogan worn by [00:16:12] strictly star Bethany and Tonia. Now the actress [00:16:16] 28 was seen a rehearsals video wearing a [00:16:19] protected the dolls top in support of trans women, [00:16:23] but then uh it turned after the BBC blanked [00:16:27] it out the Saturday's uh show, so of course they blanked out something that was in [00:16:31] promotion promoting trans - protect the [00:16:34] dolls, I mean in support of trans women. obviously just [00:16:38] took that out because they weren't having that, what, what, but they always do this, don't they, they if you go [00:16:42] on TV with a political slogan, they'll they'll not allow it, [00:16:46] I remember people appearing top the pops with political slogans and they had to put [00:16:50] gaffer tape over them, the acts did before going on the tele cuz the [00:16:54] BBC doesn't like that sort of thing, so I think that's the context for this, it's not [00:16:57] specifically to do with trans, just to do with political slogans, well yeah, but it's [00:17:01] but it's in support of trans women, so that is sort of a political slogan [00:17:05] given given what's going on, the dolls is a political slogan that's why they're saying it [00:17:09] shouldn't have the BBC is saying yeah well I [00:17:12] mean protect the dolls I didn't even realize that was [00:17:16] is that pro trans women so men [00:17:19] men so pro men I don't want to see that [00:17:23] on tv and no one else no one wants to be lectured I think everyone's sick [00:17:27] of being having political messages thrown in their faces when some people just want to [00:17:31] relax and watch strictly so they're right [00:17:33] to do that of course but she was just wearing it for [00:17:34] the rehearsal though I mean you know still what do [00:17:36] you think Peter? the star - the sun rather, the sun, please forgive [00:17:40] me, does some wonderful journalism, this is not a part [00:17:44] of that, but you see, i am old enough to [00:17:48] remember an expression, which don't worry, i've cleaned it up for you, when you if [00:17:52] somebody was hypothesizing about something, you would sort of take the [00:17:56] mickey or by what they were saying, you say yeah right, and if me [00:18:00] aunt had testicles she'd be me uncle, yeah, okay, you all get the gist of [00:18:04] what it meant right, but now of course you can't really use that phrase can you? because your [00:18:08] aunt could have testicles and be your uncle or the other way around. it's [00:18:11] a confusing landscape for an old block like me these days. very confusing, it's [00:18:15] actually the reality is it's straightforward. look, i i don't care that they [00:18:19] blank this out. if there are political messages then i think they should do that. i think finally [00:18:23] they did something that was the right thing to do. i'm just surprised about the bbc [00:18:26] honestly. i'm surprised leave it in there. do you mean just because because [00:18:30] the way they are? i'm more worried of fact i don't know any the people in streetly [00:18:34] are. i alone in this? who are these celebrities? They [00:18:38] seems to be the sons and the daughters of famous people, yeah, and load [00:18:42] of other people I've never heard of. Don't worry, you'll recognize me next [00:18:47] we year, we're [00:18:47] well we longing for that day obviously, I'm probably the wrong kind of black, [00:18:51] sadly can you dance though, got some [00:18:54] moves, Anna swims, [00:18:57] dances, I want to see, what can peter [00:19:01] do? American smooth, dancing, oh, there are no [00:19:04] limits, there are no limits, I'd love to see Peter. literally no start [00:19:08] to your [00:19:09] but my dancing ability is inherently linked to the amount [00:19:12] of alcohol and nana for [00:19:16] strictly yeah all right well stay with us because coming up [00:19:20] the benefit system failing the times reveals nearly two [00:19:23] million on sickness benefits are left unchecked and in the ipaper [00:19:27] warning of tax rises to come as John Healey scrambles to find [00:19:31] funds to plug 35 billion pounds this [00:19:34] is Alex Armstrong tonight later edition.

Well, well, well, I'll come to you, Paul, [00:24:00] Richards, well, absolute shocker, really, it is an absolute shocker, I mean the [00:24:04] welfare state was divised after the war uh, to [00:24:07] prevent people falling into poverty like they had done in [00:24:10] the 20s and 30s because of you know the trade cycle, right, it's not supposed to [00:24:14] be lifestyle choice for millions of people to [00:24:18] not work, it's supposed [00:24:19] to be there, to pick you up if you fall into hard times on your way back into [00:24:23] a job and we have to get back to the idea that this is something that you can dip [00:24:27] into if you've paid into it uh but the presumption is if you can [00:24:31] work you do and we seem to have lost that but i think the current cropper [00:24:35] ministers do seem to be recognizing for both moral [00:24:38] reasons but also financial reasons that we can't afford this kind [00:24:42] of thing where there are millions and millions of people who are not being productive anyway shape or [00:24:46] form and we were discussing earlier about the need for growth in the economy you got [00:24:50] to get people working in whatever they can do uh [00:24:54] and paying their taxes and being productive and getting them off these kinds of this [00:24:58] long years and years and it's [00:25:00] a gravy train well [00:25:01] i don't think it's it's not massives of money but it just means that [00:25:05] million people people [00:25:05] two it means that people can just sort of subs you know be subsistence for [00:25:09] for decades two million people shouldn't apply qualify [00:25:13] for welfare paid it and somebody here has been waiting for 16 years [00:25:17] which is disgraceful which means that if you can work you should but you need people need [00:25:21] help so they do need the skills because there's also new jobs now that people can't [00:25:24] do and they need um they need you know maybe some sanctions as well and [00:25:28] a bit of a carrot and stick approach but there need to be jobs there too for people [00:25:32] but you can't just this is not sustainable I note with interest paul that [00:25:36] you said ministers are waking up to this what about those lefty [00:25:40] lunatic back benches that will thwart any kind of welfare [00:25:44] reform a prime minister or any other minister tries to push through well [00:25:47] they they did thought the ones that Liz can't [00:25:50] what attempted to do under Starmer, but I think there's a different mood now because the [00:25:53] numbers, the figure the financial figures being so different and the recognition this just has to [00:25:57] be, there has to be a grip go on this, we should see, I mean the [00:26:01] government will founder without. growth the government will founder you know that is the that's the [00:26:05] load stuff. i wish those in public service scandal. mean, our [00:26:09] welfare state is already on the brink of like complete destruction because of [00:26:13] abuse, and to read these kind of headlines and [00:26:16] understand that these people are still being paid out with with literally no [00:26:20] idea whether they're in fact eligible, is really making a mockery of all the [00:26:24] taxpayers and all the hard-working people who are frankly, what are we being [00:26:28] taken advantage of effectively by the state? mean, this is an absolute, this is a [00:26:31] scandal. and [00:26:34] you know the sooner this is, I mean to be to be paying to be having ideas of net zero [00:26:38] and all these ridiculous policies coming from from [00:26:41] labor when there are real things that they could actually be solving, [00:26:45] and of course it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of [00:26:49] disaster, because the more people on benefits, you've only got [00:26:53] a finite number of those who will check them, and the more [00:26:56] they the [00:26:57] more claiments there are, the less [00:26:59] the those who are tasked with checking them can reach out and do I... [00:27:02] he wish was everybody asked. in public service in this country, from the prime [00:27:06] minister, to civil service, to everybody across all public [00:27:09] services, I wish they would look after the [00:27:13] country's finances and their budgets as carefully as me and [00:27:17] my wife look after our domestic budgets, well just to your [00:27:20] point um ales where you were talking about everybody so many people being [00:27:24] on benefits and the government coming up with hair brain schemes, was treeting came up with [00:27:28] an idea for space, [00:27:32] lbc now I mean unbelievable by when Nick Ferrari, so how much is it going to cost? he went, oh, [00:27:36] and he didn't know, he hadn't even, so he said, well, just give us an idea, if you want the tax [00:27:40] payer to fund this, how much is it going, you've got me, [00:27:44] I usually get the answer, this time you got me, it's like, this isn't a catch [00:27:48] streating out, this is point of order that we're making to you, that if you [00:27:52] want to come up with these hair brain schemes, you need to know how much they cost, if you're going to dish out [00:27:56] money like this, you need to know who you're dishing it out to, and once again we're [00:28:00] spending money for old rope, because most these people. probably don't qualify, shouldn't [00:28:03] be on the list, and we've been paying for years, no, and [00:28:06] you know what, this winter there are going to be lot of old people, lot of elderly vulnerable people who are [00:28:10] going to be in crisis because of gas prices and lack of [00:28:13] heating and cost of living, and you know, and if [00:28:17] that, I mean, I would almost be funny about the space thing if it [00:28:21] wasn't like that people's lives are on the line here, and you [00:28:24] know, stimulate the economy, we need people in work, you don't do that [00:28:28] by putting them a vicious cycle where they can basically effectively earn more, from [00:28:32] welfare benefits and they can a job, but that's the state of things. [00:28:36] yeah, [00:28:37] it is the state of things. i think we have to go, should go quickly to the eye and [00:28:41] then, but i want to go to the guardian, the met police, a met chief [00:28:44] backs drive for more black officers. so this is a [00:28:48] story where um metropolitan police chief Mark [00:28:52] Rowy has said that his force must recruit more black and [00:28:56] Asian officers to gain the trust of minority ethnic communities [00:29:00] in London and voud not to be blown off. by culture [00:29:03] wars, the right has criticized police strives for diversity claiming that [00:29:07] they lead to lower standards really said that as a leader of [00:29:11] major organization, he was prepared to take a stand against [00:29:15] toxicity surrounding diversity debate and criticized other [00:29:18] leaders for running away from the subject and just to give you a little [00:29:22] bp here, he said that in London 46% the [00:29:25] people um uh in London 46% of [00:29:29] people but only 18% of met officers are from minority ethnic [00:29:33] backgrounds, so Peter Blexley, um, it's sort of trying equalize [00:29:37] each county, I mean, it's it, I don't, I find it a bit absurd really, I thought [00:29:41] I'd entered a time capsule, this is headline that has been [00:29:44] trailed just about every decade I can remember, going back to the [00:29:48] 70s, 70s, 80s, 90s and so on and so forth, and it's [00:29:52] never been achieved by policing, now it's [00:29:56] all well and good for him to say it, and it might be loudible aim, but as long [00:30:00] as there are certain communities that really inherently don't like [00:30:04] the police, you are not going to welcome those people into [00:30:08] it, well and also if you're uh forces kind of um [00:30:12] overwhelmed with things like misogyny and homophobia and other bits and pieces, [00:30:15] especially the sexism, racis and everything else like that, if [00:30:19] if [00:30:20] it were me I'd say well deal with that first mate, deal with that and then maybe people [00:30:24] from those groups will want to join, but if you can't deal with that, [00:30:27] then I mean why would anyone want to join something that is is gripped in all [00:30:31] sorts of nonsense and met have made strides on that, I was [00:30:35] in the police in dark days when racism was compulsory, [00:30:39] let alone a part the organization, well um and of course it's moved [00:30:42] on an enormous amount since then and certain people [00:30:46] deserve credit along the way, but um I'm [00:30:50] afraid as long as Mark Roley, let's remember this is the [00:30:53] commissioner that refused to accept that the Metropolitan police [00:30:57] was institutionally racist, he refused to accept that [00:31:01] definition. I think because he doesn't [00:31:04] understand it, now for him to come out with [00:31:07] this, well do, I will push back on that cuz [00:31:11] I don't believe things are institutionally or structurally racist, I think. the [00:31:15] individuals within the organization that should actually be held to account because I think as soon as you [00:31:19] blame a structure or institution or then then you are [00:31:22] absolving those and giving them excuse for their racism so I i don't [00:31:26] agree with that [00:31:27] I think individuals are racist [00:31:28] if an organization enables or allows that then all those within that organization [00:31:32] should [00:31:32] be held up and made accountable and then you won't have an organization full of [00:31:36] racists buse that's what it is really uh the met's not full of [00:31:39] racist explaining structural or institutional [00:31:43] racism that's what that is I'm not saying is yeah, but institutional structural [00:31:46] racism is basically an organization that is full of racis and that's why you would [00:31:50] say that it's not that uh, but the truth is that I don't believe in institutional [00:31:54] structural racist, they're just individuals within an organization being racist and [00:31:58] being allowed to be what is special I think about our policing in this [00:32:02] country is that is citizens in uniform and we police by [00:32:06] consent, those are the peelight principles on which is it's not a state-run [00:32:09] thing, they're not routinely armed, they're not a sort of uniform [00:32:13] paramilitary uh are there because we allow it to happen, [00:32:17] right? that's how policing works. um, and I think therefore the argument is [00:32:21] that the police force should look like the citizenry that it is policing [00:32:24] itself, I am glad we [00:32:28] have moved beyond where we were and I could remember the 70s where the police [00:32:31] force 98% of it white, policing [00:32:34] communities that were not, and I think you do need to have reflection [00:32:38] of society in the policing, but of course it shouldn't be at the expense of [00:32:42] getting the best people in the job and it should be a supportive. if want to come in, but [00:32:46] then be equal within the service, so that people have trust in the service, [00:32:50] because it's all about consent, but part of getting the best people in the job is to get people who aren't [00:32:54] racist, so it wouldn't matter what color they are, they just shouldn't be racist, [00:32:57] misogenis, homophobes, do [00:32:59] you know what i mean if you could do that then you it will naturally those [00:33:02] within those categories [00:33:03] as well, but that thrives within a monoculture doesn't it, which is why you need to have the [00:33:07] police force looking like society, but that would happen if you had the best people for the [00:33:11] job, because you get the people who aren't racist and all those things so you'd end up with a [00:33:15] force of of great people rather than a force of people who just [00:33:19] i don't making up the numbers, yeah, mean i don't remember the 70s, [00:33:22] but the line from mark rowly that [00:33:26] effective policing depends on inclusivity, i think just strikes me is [00:33:30] completely odd and just rubbish. exactly, i don't think we should sacrifice as you [00:33:34] said, meritocratic qualities, well make someone good for a job isn't [00:33:38] the color their skin, it's it's whether they are actually [00:33:41] competent, and as you said if they are competent they very... [00:33:45] likely not going to be discriminatory types of people, and that is [00:33:48] who I i want policing, that is who I want to the street. I really don't care about your [00:33:52] skin color, I want you to be good at your job and I want to feel safe in your hands, [00:33:56] and unfortunately, [00:33:57] you know, whatever initiatives are being thrown about that, I, [00:34:01] I'm sure many Londoners would agree that's not quite the case, just get the best people for the job [00:34:05] who aren't the sort of people you're recruiting now, some them - have all those [00:34:09] negative qualities and eventually it'll all even itself out, that's what I see [00:34:13] uh, but it's down to I guess. i don't i don't agree with the positive [00:34:16] discrimination, i think it's unfortunate, it ends up with low quality people [00:34:20] just for the sake the fact that they're certain color and we don't want that. all right, coming [00:34:24] up, the front page the express, tourists in London are being [00:34:28] scammed by organized migrant groups. this is alex harmstrong tonight, [00:34:32] i'm nana, it's the late [00:34:33] edition.

I wonder what he's trying [00:38:59] to distract everybody from, maybe something to do with the UAE and Manchester, [00:39:03] but that's just my opinion. um, Burnham has come out and [00:39:06] spoken about the public executions taking place here in the United States, [00:39:10] one being the former army major who was responsible for the Forthood [00:39:14] murders. he gun down 13 US military personnel at Forthod in Texas [00:39:18] in 2009. he's now being put to death by firing squad [00:39:22] um on December the 3rd, which Pete Hegseff, the Secretary of War said would be [00:39:26] live streamed for. world to see um, I mean, the death penalty [00:39:30] debate is one thing, but whether [00:39:31] it should be live streamed or not, is another conversation altogether, but Andy Burnham has [00:39:35] come out and given his opinion both on the death penalty and [00:39:39] separately, the facts that this execution will be live streamed for the [00:39:42] world's um interest, so uh, I won't reveal what his answer [00:39:46] is on both those topics of conversation, but uh, at 12 [00:39:50] o'clock I will reveal his quite in-depth comments actually, and his [00:39:54] reasoning behind his stance elsewhere tonight, [00:39:58] Russian interference, Bernham again, again, I wonder what he's distracting from, I don't know, but he's [00:40:02] talking about Russian interference in Brexit, we heard it here in the United States [00:40:06] with President Trump's first term in 2016 onwards, the Russia collusion hoaxes, [00:40:10] all the nonsense about um Trump being uh, how do I [00:40:13] describe this at this hour, um, up to no good with Russian prostitutes in [00:40:17] Moscow, complete lies, complete bs, it's the Russia, Russia, Russia, hoax [00:40:21] again, I'd like to see Andy Burnham's proof that Russia interfered in the [00:40:25] 2016 election uh, taken 10 years for somebody even [00:40:29] mention this for the first time, and even if they did, potentially with [00:40:32] bots or something [00:40:33] like that, which could be feasible, no more, I'd argue than the likes the European [00:40:37] Union or the Obama administration interfering in the Brexit vote all [00:40:41] those years ago, so all that and more uh coming up after midnight, nana, [00:40:45] yeah, looking forward to it, thank you very much, ben leo, late show live stay with us for that, thank [00:40:49] you, all right, let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages, well the telegraph [00:40:53] leads with Megan Markel, first public appearance, she's back, she's [00:40:56] managed to... get [00:40:58] the get on the front cover of that one and the mail uh and the mirror hero tried to [00:41:01] save him of course that's about the the tiger situation that poor gentleman he's [00:41:05] more by the tiger all right let's do it let's take a look at megan markle she wants us to [00:41:09] anyway i don't know why um they're telling us that she went [00:41:13] out [00:41:16] she she went out people uh apparently her first public [00:41:19] appearance um in collaboration with April Winfrey's [00:41:23] charity mom's offering on the move or offering [00:41:26] move or offering. think it is buse my i can't read through these glasses but [00:41:30] anyway so she's there again on the front page i mean they [00:41:34] went off they didn't really like this country they've come out with load of documentaries that [00:41:38] slayed the royal family and indeed - [00:41:42] our wonderful queen Elizabeth um died with that whole sort of [00:41:46] racism thing above her and then Harry goes out and speaks to Tom Bradvery [00:41:50] and says racism what racism the people [00:41:52] I no one racist it was unconscious bias oh god I don't know [00:41:56] really Nanna you are so [00:41:59] disparaging Mega Markel dared [00:42:02] to face the autumn chill a hoodie [00:42:06] and she pulled a funny face and stuck her sort of mouth. a [00:42:10] rather strange position when the photographer took [00:42:13] her picture, will this woman get off our front [00:42:16] pages out of our news and out of our lives? [00:42:20] the answer to my own question is no, cuz they need to make [00:42:24] living somehow, don't they? and by pedling their [00:42:27] own tarnished brand, this is what we have [00:42:31] to suffer. yeah, well surely alice is a fan of [00:42:35] of mega mark, you're a young person, truly you, you're drinking the [00:42:38] coolaid. much prefer maggie thatcher as my hero to Megan [00:42:42] Mark. I mean it's just ridiculous and I think there's a point to be made about why they're still trying to [00:42:46] make her relevant because frankly I don't think my generation and I'm [00:42:49] densi find her particularly interesting or [00:42:52] insightful [00:42:54] and so really like [00:42:55] I wonder [00:42:55] to as to who exactly the they're appealing to here because I think everyone sort [00:42:59] of moved on with their lives. You got anything to [00:43:03] say about this well when when she joined the royal family I did for moment [00:43:07] think she might be a bit of a breath of freshher. 'you might be quite good than the [00:43:11] institution needed a bit of freshening up perhaps [00:43:14] but mean oh my gosh [00:43:15] no longer is she's gone down the pair them have gone down this rabbit [00:43:19] hole now where they just have to keep pumping publicity out to remain [00:43:23] relevant to keep their income up and to keep in the public eye but mean [00:43:26] why have two newspapers decided to put this on the front page [00:43:30] you on the brink of world war ii there's also sort of things going on with man city [00:43:34] and tigers and god why are two papers of record [00:43:38] this woman on the front because is a massive revelation [00:43:42] contained within no, it's a massive revelation, if [00:43:46] you look at the picture the other way up, you can see that the slogan on her [00:43:49] sleeve says it's the little things, which may be [00:43:53] reference to her husband's nether regions, no come on, that's not [00:43:57] fair on harry, come on, he what did was it the eight hour cream he used and put it in the oh [00:44:01] god i don't want to think about that megan mark was not here to defend herself to be fair to [00:44:05] us so you let's move on let's move to the tiger attack a [00:44:08] horror park a hero tried to save him, this is [00:44:12] very, very tragic story, woman desperately tried to pull back [00:44:16] the uh tragic man who climbed into a tiger pen, a witness has [00:44:20] revealed a zoo goer said that the hero was not strong enough to stop the [00:44:24] man jumping into the exclosure in doncaster where he was killed by the [00:44:28] siberian tiger altai uh they said that the man pulled [00:44:31] away and dropped um 12 [00:44:35] feet adding that he started yelling at the tiger and waving his finger at [00:44:39] him yelling and the tiger grabbed him by the neck. York [00:44:42] wildlife park, which was closed yesterday after Saturday's attack said as [00:44:46] sympathies uh remain with the loved ones the man who lost his [00:44:50] life. It's very sad. I mean, it used to be that the cages were [00:44:53] there to stop the animals getting out, but now they have to be there to stop people getting in, and [00:44:57] that is the danger. People are, I mean, I don't want to speculate about this [00:45:01] man's motives, but I I suspect he was not necessarily right in the [00:45:05] head, and we need to construct a ways to stop people doing this as copy [00:45:09] cat because. [00:45:10] 'i mean it's just terrific and his poor family must be just thinking, how on [00:45:13] earth was this allowed to happen? yeah, i think if you know, if this was [00:45:17] someone i was related to, obviously [00:45:20] you know he's probably not most most mentally stable person, but [00:45:24] why wasn't there someone on guard there with some kind of weapon that could that could [00:45:28] prevent this attack from from taking his life? i don't know whether i [00:45:32] think it was quite quick really, you know, like by the sounds of it, he waved [00:45:36] his finger and then the tiger grabbed him by [00:45:38] the all your essential'. are there? yeah, there should always be someone, I think or [00:45:42] some kind of may, you know, someone there to to prevent this kind of thing from happening [00:45:46] emergency situations, because it's a man here, but [00:45:48] what if it was a small child who made a mistake who accidentally, over [00:45:51] got this [00:45:52] tipped thing, but this is the thing that has to, there should be someone there, all right, well loads more [00:45:56] still to come uh, last look at tomorrow's front pages, this is alex armstrong tonight, late [00:46:00] edition.

[00:49:10] Welcome back to Alex Armstrong tonight Late edition with me Nannaqueir. We were [00:49:14] talking about the story on the mirror hero tried to save him. This is the story the [00:49:18] horror attack at the tiger part Peter Blexley. Um, I'm not going [00:49:22] to... judge this because of course the investigation is still ongoing, [00:49:26] however what I will say from very personal perspective is [00:49:29] once upon a time I had a catastrophic mental health [00:49:32] breakdown which led to me being hospitalized as result of [00:49:36] it. during that mental health breakdown I did things that I would [00:49:40] never have dreamed of doing before or since they just happened in the midst [00:49:44] of that catastrophic bow of ill health that I went [00:49:48] through um whatever my thoughts are with the uh those who [00:49:51] loved them. who's lost his life? yeah, very, very sad [00:49:55] indeed. all right, what we look at? final story uh, there's a man [00:49:58] city story that's on the the uh top the [00:50:01] express, victory in the face of cheat thorns, now you can [00:50:05] tell me more about this, can't you Paul? well, there was a moment I think today when every [00:50:09] football fan in the land was Liverpool just temporarily, wanting to [00:50:13] see City lose, no, because they cheated [00:50:17] their way to their position where they are, they cheated, and they have [00:50:21] to suffer the consequences. can not have a situation where you can do this and [00:50:25] then prosper from it. you see, do you got football [00:50:28] regularly pool? not regularly, few times a season, right? and who do you support? manchester [00:50:32] united? right? okay, well let me just point out to you [00:50:35] fundamentally that not everybody a day was a Liverpool fan, [00:50:39] i spec there's a huge number of everton fans would never be a Liverpool fan, [00:50:43] i would never support Liverpool anyway shape or f and my [00:50:47] dislike of that club goes back to 1976 and clearly [00:50:51] I still haven't got... it bause they be for the leak anyway um moving [00:50:55] on yeah let's just unfortunately the [00:50:58] premiership is in the grip of kind of [00:51:01] inertia because the sanctions need to be applied to man city [00:51:05] before the whole game of high-end football can move yeah just [00:51:09] quickly bontaines dc the best band their [00:51:13] generation silence from the [00:51:16] panel fontaines dc who the hell are [00:51:19] they irish? [00:51:24] i think the blossoms are better, i've never heard [00:51:28] them, must be really old, mean they've [00:51:32] got [00:51:32] some good tunes, but the best band of all time new song marianne [00:51:36] just dropped, yeah i should look forward to seeing [00:51:40] or listening to that, fontain [00:51:42] dc spotify on your way home [00:51:46] now, probably quite a good good song, other download [00:51:50] platforms are available, are they i've never heard of? so absolutely, [00:51:53] absolutely, but what should we what should we finish this off with? [00:51:57] um, should we go for helium spine 35 billion [00:52:01] a happy note? where should heley get the money from? all right 'well we were [00:52:05] saying this earlier, but most government departments are wasting money on stuff that they don't need [00:52:09] to spend on, I said there are savings within the system you can [00:52:13] generate, and I think he's somebody's made his reputation on saying I [00:52:17] want to increase defense expenditure, he's going to have to deliver that over the next few [00:52:20] years, um, maybe it not be in this budget because the tight money that's [00:52:24] described there, um, maybe not even the spending review, but we are going to have [00:52:28] to get our defense expenditure up to the NATO target, you've got [00:52:32] about 10 seconds, well this is the thing, where is the money going to come from, [00:52:36] mean the can we start with maybe axing these ridiculous policies like [00:52:40] net zero and say that would be good, how much [00:52:44] money i wonder the government spend on special [00:52:46] advisers? it's our money, it's our [00:52:49] money, not that much, not that much, i'm [00:52:53] both every penny, if you're a politician and you get to very high office then [00:52:57] why do you need special advisors exactly, well i've got on that bombshell, thank [00:53:01] you very much for my brilliant panel, former labor advisor paul richards uh [00:53:06] Former and Alice, oh, [00:53:07] I forgot to surname because they've taken, they've done something. All right, well listen, up next it [00:53:11] is, leo. [00:53:15] Thank you very much. Andy Burnham is distracting us from something, [00:53:19] I don't what [00:53:20] it could be, maybe is it the Everton score, is it his haircut, I don't [00:53:23] know, he wants us to look away at something, and that's why he's been doing the media [00:53:27] rounds. Most notably he's spoken out about the death penalty, and indeed the [00:53:31] case here in the United States the former army major who's been put to firing. which [00:53:35] is going to be live streamed by the pentagon, all his comments burn and where does he stand on the death [00:53:39] penalty? does he agree with the live stream? all that coming up in just [00:53:42] tick.
