Church to watch the football . Um, controversial. So very topical. This is about the womens world cup. A bit of a sore point today, obviously. And a senior bishop from the church of england told people it was fine to skip church watch fine to skip church and watch the womens instead. The womens football instead. What think , frances . What what do we think, frances . What do you reckon . It is fine to skip i think it is fine to skip church watch the football, church and watch the football, but football.

The weird at church, try church. The weird thing article, be thing about this article, to be very the bishop, she very fair to the bishop, she later that maybe she later seemed that maybe she didnt mean that. Meant didnt mean that. She just meant you work around the football you can work around the football with particular service. With your particular service. But another but it just seemed like another example of the church example initially of the church of being so woke. Of england just being so woke. There was where she said there was one bit where she said she said, dont worry you she said, dont worry if you dont want see the score, dont want to see the score, just to church. Like it was just go to church. Like it was just go to church. Like it was just way of avoiding the score just a way of avoiding the score and did you watch it . Fancy of course.

By the way, if i say, if you see him, if like i say, if you see him, he like ken barbie, he looks like ken from barbie, which none of us have seen here, obviously. However its all sort of fake tan and turkey teeth and i assume a six pack. But im not sure how it lends itself to selling cars. If i saw that man walk up to me, i would walk away. Yeah. Yeah. Ideally wed have had of it, but had like a video of it, but imagine, its man imagine, guys, its a man with a six pack trying sell cars. Six pack trying to sell cars. I mean, pretty much it. Gone. Are they going to do you remember abercrombie remember what abercrombie and fitch years ago fitch did around 20 years ago where to have topless where they used to have topless models you used models and the moment you used to in, thered be just to walk in, thered be just these guys with these 22 year old guys with their shirt. Dont look at me. I miss that. Got idea what ive got no idea what youre talking about. Anyone see what you dont let anyone see what you know. That you dont know. What im isnt hooters. Know. That you dont know. What im no, isnt hooters. Know. That you dont know. What im no, no. Isnt hooters. Know. That you dont know. What im no, no. Wast hooters. Know. That you dont know. What im no, no.

That was a very differiits just guys with , like, think its just guys with, like, their selling you like their tops off selling you like a yeah, i just. A citron . Yeah, i just. I suddenly had a moment where i felt so bad of what ive done to andrews show. Joining me, like, its like minutes like, its like five minutes in. Am talking topless am i talking about topless girls . Six packs. Girls . I like six packs. Andrews just like on holiday going, mistake. He going, this was a mistake. He wants be about 15th wants it to be about 15th century literature and stuff like maybe like that. Anyway, maybe we should that should move on with that question. From question. Weve got one from catherine next. I believe. Catherine. Oh, hi, catherine. Bodies, actually. Still with bodies, actually. Okay is the song fat bottomed girls in appropriate . Wow. I thought were going to move on from the topic, but weve very much very much doubung weve very much very much doubling down. So this is one of queens best songs. Fat bum queens best love songs. Fat bum girls. Been girls. But its been suspiciously dropped from the greatest what greatest hits collection is what were here. Were talking about here. Its not of my life, not exactly love of my life, paul not exactly love of my life, paul, but should it be in there . But god. But im god. Idea that its been so the idea is that its been dropped greatest so the idea is that its been drop|so greatest so the idea is that its been drop|so have greatest so the idea is that its been drop|so have to greatest so the idea is that its been drop|so have to greihave hits. So we have to we have to assume to indulge in assume in order to indulge in this story queen havent this story that queen havent got many greatest hits, got many other greatest hits, which you said. Which is exactly what you said. Queen many hits they queen have got so many hits they can afford to drop it. But lets say it because say theyve dropped it because its its its offensive in some way. Its clearly and clearly not offensive. And i thought now. Thought we loved fatties now. I thought we loved fatties now. I thought were all in. Thought fatties were all in. I mean, see, lizzo, the fat mean, you see, lizzo, the fat dancers, i mean, the big bums. Everybodys fat now, arent they . So i dont see what the problem is. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose have to well, i suppose ill have to rename girls, rename it body positivity girls, which scan. What rename it body positivity girls, whyou scan. What rename it body positivity girls, wh you think, scan. What rename it body positivity girls, whyou think, frances . An. What do you think, frances . Yeah doesnt really do you think, frances . Me. Ah doesnt really do you think, frances . Me. And doesnt really do you think, frances . Me. And as esnt really do you think, frances . Me. And as a;nt really do you think, frances . Me. And as a fan really do you think, frances . Me. And as a fan of lly do you think, frances . Me. And as a fan of the scam me. And as a fan of the larger lady, look, im proclaiming a lot of value tonight. None of its savoury, but go on. Yeah, none of it is savoury, mate. Thats why im in mate. Well, thats why im in tv. D0 mate. Well, thats why im in tv. Do know i mean . I tv. Do you know what i mean . I was waiting for that. No, if i was waiting for that. No, if i was really bad, id be at the bbc. But the thinking mans jemmy. Exactly, mate. You like the bigger girl race . Less money for charity. Less money for charity. Queen. That didnt go well , but queen. That didnt go well, but yeah. No, i honestly dont. Im actually a huge queen fan. I think Freddie Mercury was the greatest front man of all time. Greatest front man of all time. In particular, if you look at just the sheer breadth of his music, right, the way from when they started, he he could do everything. He could sing ballads. He sing hard ballads. He could sing hard rock. Could sing opera. Rock. He could sing opera. He could sing disco and funk and towards the end of his life, when he was dying. So he produced some of the greatest music that ive ever heard. I dont think fat bottomed girls is the best stuff that theyve ever had. I think its ever had. I just think its indicative our culture. Indicative now of our culture. When someone drops a song, everyone now thinks its because , 0h, everyone now thinks its because , oh, its problematic when actually just might be that its not one of their better songs, right . What do you audience think . Do you like the song . Yeah, yeah, we like song. You yeah, we like the song. You think have think it shouldnt have been dropped . Whats the dropped . No no, no. Whats the best queen is love best queen song . Is it love of my or bohemian my life or is it Bohemian Rhapsody else . My life or is it bohemian rheyeah, else . My life or is it bohemian rheyeah, the else . My life or is it bohemian rheyeah, the champions lse . My life or is it bohemian rheyeah, the champions. ;e . Yeah, the champions. Yeah, the champions. The champions. Just we are the champions. Just being wasnt one of the being contrary wasnt one of the opfionsl being contrary wasnt one of the options i offered. But all right, well we got a right, all right. Well we got a question from andrew. Question now from andrew. Presumably andrew videoing presumably andrew doyle videoing in question. Are you ruining in question. Why are you ruining my . My show . Lovely to be at gb news have only pizza ovens taken virtual signalling to the next level. Oh, yeah. So this is a ooni pizza ovens who say that every year they celebrate hawaiian pizza day on august 20th. And this year theyre urging people to hawaii tragedy, to donate to the hawaii tragedy, but pizzas. And to but also to make pizzas. And to be fair, they have donated 10,000 to the red cross to in support of of the tragedy. Support of the of the tragedy. What make one . What did you make of this one . Francis the hawaiian francis well, the hawaiian pizza abomination pizza is an abomination and it should. Like not should be banned. Like its not proper. Its not. And if proper pizza. Its not. And if you if you have pineapple on a pizza , then as far as im pizza, then as far as im concerned , you were wrong. And concerned, you were wrong. And number one, right. That thats just obvious. But number two, i just obvious. But number two, i think this is quite a nice thing. The whats happened in mao was obviously a tragedy. I mao was obviously a tragedy. I think its over 100 people now have lost their lives. Its awful. Theyre trying to do something good. But actually, if they wanted to something good they wanted to do something good for generations , not for future generations, not just for future generations, not just for rid of the for hawaii, get rid of the hawaiian pizza, its wrong. Hawaiian pizza, its wrong. Shots fired. You shots fired. Really . You dont like the whole combination of the hawaiian people . No, its an insult, mate. No, its an insult, mate. The hawaiian pizza who likes the hawaiian pizza 7 . Yeah. Yeah. Never appearing on this im never appearing on this show ever again. Right. Right. Right. Well, want to tell you, well, i do want to tell you, fans, email fans, theres been an email anyway, but yeah, i love the hawaiian pizza. I mean, whats hawaiian pizza. I mean, whats wrong with it . I mean, fluid shape about shape was here. Wed talk about how its going to how its carbs and its going to kill you because its not raw meat, but basically i really like pizza. Always meat, but basically i really like it pizza. Always meat, but basically i really like it you pizza. Always meat, but basically i really like it you so izza. Always meat, but basically i really like it you so izza. Aagainst liked it you so youre against the youre virtue the pizza, youre pro virtue signalling, against signalling, but against pineapples on pizza, mate. I knew youre a controversial figure. Ive heard about francis. Far right anti pizza. So go on. I still like francis, even though i like womens football and i like pineapple on pizza. I dont like you make that okay . Yeah. Its a one way street. Unfortunately i still like you. Him. But this. Unfortunately i still like you. Him. But this. This is so him. But this. This is so cynical. This its incredibly cynical. This its incredibly cynical. Before they say theyve i mean, theyre first of all, they slightly mentioned they raised 10,000, 10,000. It is , raised 10,000, 10,000. It is, by the way, which is next to nothing huge like nothing for a huge business like that. Say , buy our that. And then they say, buy our pizza, ovens , make pizza, buy our ovens, make a hawaiian pizza and invite your mates sure they eat mates round. Make sure they eat the hawaiian pizza that youve made your stuff. And made using your stuff. And if you can get to you if you can get them to donate as well. Its so cynical. They invented. They said they invented hawaiian pizza dough. Actually. Do you know what . Ive them. Youre ive gone off them. Youre right. For yeah yeah. Right. Makes for a yeah yeah. I actually didnt think it was that bad. As as these was that bad. As far as these things signalling things go, virtue signalling does a lot worse. I mean, does get a lot worse. I mean, im im of woke im generally im sick of woke corporations sick im generally im sick of woke co world ons sick im generally im sick of woke co world corporations. Sick im generally im sick of woke co world corporations. Yeah. Ick of world corporations. Yeah. Yeah yeah. You feel free to yeah yeah.

Isnt it, you know, likfrontian small children garette yeah. Isnt it, you know, likfrontian small children is rette in front of small children is higher someone who sells higher than someone who sells cars. The cars. I mean, they dont by the way, that first way, i just made all that first bit just in case. Bit up, just. Just in case. That does sound like a daily mail. Someone sells someone who sells cars with a six pack. You know , instead of but you know, instead of someone whos selling a car thats planet. Thats saving the planet. Yeah, yeah, it is totally yeah, yeah, it it is totally weird. Im totally against virtue i didnt weird. Im totally against virtuethis i didnt weird. Im totally against virtuethis was i didnt weird. Im totally against virtuethis was a i didnt weird. Im totally against virtuethis was a particularly think this was a particularly bad of it, anyway , bad instance of it, but anyway, all right, thats pineapple all right, thats the pineapple pizza. Beaten to death. Pizza story. Beaten to death. Lets a at one more lets have a look at one more question pete , believe. Question from pete, i believe. Hi, pete. There. Okay. So yes, hi there. Okay. So should you face disciplinary action you use the wrong action if you use the wrong pronoun address someone in pronoun to address someone in the workplace . The workplace . The key question, this is about nhs workers being sold their if they dont their privilege if they dont have worry, dont, if have to worry, if they dont, if they dont hang on, if they dont wonder about what pronouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight about what pronouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight be� ut what pronouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight be in what pronouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight be in advance� nouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight be in advance. Ouns they dont hang on, if they dont wmight be in advance. Sors people might be in advance. So if just assume the if they just assume the pronouns, in trouble. If they just assume the pronapparently in trouble. If they just assume the pron apparently the| trouble. If they just assume the pron apparently the officiale. And apparently the official guidance says its oppressive to use wrong pronoun. And some use the wrong pronoun. And some have threatened employees have even threatened employees with disciplinary action. So i dont know. Did you see this story . Francis yeah, i did say, look, agree with look, i agree with it. If you dont use i think if you dont use someones pronouns, someones personal pronouns, you should right . Should be executed, right . Of him. Youre just get rid of him. Youre clearly a. You just whats going to happen if youre just going to happen if youre just going to left to planet . To be left to roam the planet . Have more babies and really, oh, at the very least , just get them at the very least, just get them castrated. Castrated. Yeah. Pretty tough words. And fancies, but i agreed with all of it. What . What do you think, of it. What . What do you think, paul . Its like working with lewis. This is. Im on the first time i felt like moderator here. Youre the straight man. Youre the straight man. Unbelievable all this. Its unbelievable all this. But of course, i mean, how but now, of course, i mean, how anyone could all the anyone could remember all the pronouns , is beyond me. Pronouns anyway, is beyond me. Theres nothing wrong with being polite. Mean, ijust i polite. I mean, ijust say i literally just say there and them absolutely them to describe absolutely everything now because you never know youre going to offend. Know who youre going to offend. But you shouldnt but of course you shouldnt in the and idea that the workplace. And the idea that privilege a point privilege has changed to a point that luxury life that we live such a luxury life now, that privilege is for only people who dont know what their pronouns are or never have to think thats mental on think about it. Thats mental on its own. I mean, there are people that think this stuff up for living. Thats for a living. Thats a privilege, thats mental. I think where weve got to now is just dont think we just laughable. I dont think we can down this path. Can continue down this path. And whats particularly disturbing into and whats particularly disturtlike into and whats particularly disturtlike the into and whats particularly disturtlike the nhs into and whats particularly disturtlike the nhs theyre and whats particularly disideologicallylhs theyre and whats particularly disideologically captured theyre and whats particularly disideologically captured and yre so ideologically captured and weve horrific weve seen with the horrific stories theres stories lately that theres plenty the nhs should plenty of things the nhs should be on and theyre be focusing on and theyre missing. You wonder, missing. And then you wonder, im theres a direct im not saying theres a direct link, you wonder how link, but you wonder how is it that struggling be that a struggling nhs can be focussed nonsense this . Focussed on nonsense like this . I you took a very pro i know you took a very pro pronouns. Have you changed your mind in last no minute . Mind in the last no minute .

And well go to next free to the break. Next on free speech the speech nation, i talked to the co founder of comedy unleashed about ended having to about why he ended up having to put outside the put a show on outside the scottish first, scottish parliament. First, lets the weather lets have a look at the weather thats possible. Looks like things are heating up. Things are heating up. Boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Of weather on. Gb news. Hello , im dan strout and hello, im dan strout and this is your latest gb news forecast from the met office. So we have High Pressure to the south and low pressure to the north and west. It kind of leaves the uk in between weather systems , but this area of low systems, but this area of low pressure is starting to actually push thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain in across Northern Ireland and northwest scotland. Further to the south, across england and wales, largely clear skies and under those clear skies, we do see some low cloud mist and fog developing by dawn over night, temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures right the way across the board. Now its a bright start come monday morning with any low cloud mist and fog across the south, quickly lifting and breaking and leaving a pleasant enough day for many across the south. Further north, we have that rain edging in from the west and that rain will become locally heavy by the course of the afternoon. Temperatures on the afternoon. Temperatures on monday generally slightly higher than the values we saw on sunday with highs of 25 across the across the south and 21 further south, north. So that band of cloud and rain continues to sink south on tuesday. And this kind of sets the scene for the rest of sets the scene for the rest of the week as low pressure gradually wins out, of the week as low pressure gradually wins out , turning gradually wins out, turning increasingly showery for all by midweek and temperatures peaking on wednesday, particularly across the south. And east. By for now looks like things are heating up. Heating up. Boxed boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. Radio. Welcome back to free speech nation. Im nick dixon, doing my to best fill the massive shoes of dr. Andrew doyle. Now, as youve probably heard, a gig featuring Graham Linehan, the writer sitcoms like writer of classic sitcoms like father ted black books was father ted and black books was cancelled by an Edinburgh Fringe venue lennons views venue because of lennons views on issue. The show was on the trans issue. The show was moved new venue, which also moved to a new venue, which also cancelled, and they up cancelled, and they ended up having gig outdoors having to stage the gig outdoors outside scottish parliament, outside the scottish parliament, which is quite amusing in some ways. Indictment ways. It also an indictment of a festival supposed to be festival thats supposed to be all expression and all about Free Expression and im joined now by the man who made gig happen against all made the gig happen against all odds co founder comedy odds co founder of comedy unleashed show and the unleashed and the show and the oh yeah, lets have a clap for andy. It. Andy. Andy. He deserves it. Andy. Good. Good to catch up on national tv. Can you give us a quick summation of what happened from your perspective . From your perspective . Yeah, well , from your perspective . Yeah, well, originally from your perspective . Yeah, well , originally andrew yeah, well, originally andrew and i decided that we do a gig a very short notice at edinburgh to put all the cancel comedians on. So we thought wed invite, you know , dapper laughs jerry you know, dapper laughs Jerry Sadowitz , alistair williams. Sadowitz, alistair williams. A whole bunch of people have been cancelled over the years and do a sort of cancelled edinburgh. The problem we had was that we decided to do this about three weeks ago, which is a bit short nofice weeks ago, which is a bit short notice when youre trying to book people book venues, get people organised at the height of the Edinburgh Fringe. So did Edinburgh Fringe. So we did it a bit short notice , but luckily bit short notice, but luckily a guy who lives in leith said, you know , i can get a venue for you, know, i can get a venue for you, which we booked we got which we got booked and we got a bunch of people already in edinburgh plus graham and alistair to come up to edinburgh to put the gig on. Then on tuesday morning, just before, well, two days before the gig, the venue put out a fairly punchy statement on instagram saying that we were going to violate their space when they found out that graham was the cancelled comedian, that wed sort of put some wraps around. Sort of put some wraps around. So we had two days to try and find another venue and we did on on the tuesday night we found one then by wednesday lunchtime theyd cancelled as well. And in fact they asked us to keep them out of the news because it became a quite a big news issue by then , which promised do by then, which we promised to do. We tried to find another venue and luckily loads of people rallied around in edinburgh, and luckily loads of people ralliecwasund in edinburgh, and luckily loads of people ralliecwas really edinburgh, and luckily loads of people ralliecwas really maydayjh, and luckily loads of people ralliecwas really mayday and ive which was really mayday and ive got to give real thanks particularly to matthew and marian , because without them, marian, because without them, this gig wouldnt have happened. And nearly a church hall. And we nearly got a church hall. We church , we we nearly got a church, we nearly got edinburgh city nearly got the Edinburgh City Council chambers , but they council chambers, but they couldnt get enough staff and they needed to rearrange the chairs , all the parks , all the chairs, all the parks, all the empty spaces were full of fringe acts. Or we can get Police Permission and the only place we could get , the only place where could get, the only place where there was space and we could get permission was right outside the holyrood parliament. So it was , holyrood parliament. So it was, its quite unusual. Yeah. And that wasnt even a political point, was it . You werent trying to make a point by outside parliament that by doing outside parliament that was just ended up. And was just where you ended up. And it was the it wasnt. It was just the political point was maybe a bonus. It was , you know, im not a it was, you know, im not a great believer in fate , nick, great believer in fate, nick, but it did end up making accidentally a political point, which was really around freedom of speech and Free Expression in the arts. And sort of bringing back the original idea of the fringe to celebrate all the wacky , the, you know, the wacky, the, you know, the experimental , the risk taking experimental, the risk taking and all the rest of it. Experimental, the risk taking and all the rest of it. And in and all the rest of it. And in fact , its and all the rest of it. And in fact, its something that should be celebrated, particularly when so many people come from abroad to edinburgh and edinburgh is so well a festival that well known as a festival that celebrates Free Expression in the arts. It ended up making by accident a political point. Accident a political point. Yeah, and i said, you should have won the spirit of the fringe award, which anyone doesnt an doesnt know. Thats like an award because the fringe award you get because the fringe is all based sort of is all based on sort of experimental people experimental stuff. People putting ways putting on shows in strange ways. Anyone should have won putting on shows in strange ways. Spirityone should have won putting on shows in strange ways. Spirit of|e should have won putting on shows in strange ways. Spirit of|e sifringe,ave won putting on shows in strange ways. Spirit of|e sifringe,av a venue that was lgbtq friendly because they knew it would be cancelled. Person cancelled. Really a gay person knew cancelled at a knew it would be cancelled at a gay friendly venue and his master that it would master plan was that it would all then more. Master plan was that it would all can then more. Master plan was that it would all can you then more. Master plan was that it would all can you just then more. Master plan was that it would all can you just confirm more. Master plan was that it would all can you just confirm that ore. Master plan was that it would all can you just confirm that was so can you just confirm that was never plan . Never your master plan . Wasnt. I mean, its just, it wasnt. I mean, its just, you know, if have if wed you know, if wed have if wed have wed have have planned it, wed have been much organised. In much better organised. And in fact, know, two fact, it took, you know, two days out of life to try and days out of my life to try and reorganise as reorganise things. And as i said, only down to said, it was really only down to people in edinburgh to sort of rally find, find rally around and find, find other and trying other venues. And we were trying to with , with the to catch up with, with the situation we thought that it would be fun to reveal graham at edinburgh, it would be his edinburgh, it would be his edinburgh debut. Its actually only the fifth gig that hes ever done and you know, since he was cancelled from his own musical father, ted, the musical, which you couldnt get on in the west end, hes taken to stand up and graham has been coming club in london coming to the club in london really to hone his art as a stand up, to really bring his skills as a comic writer into stand up. And its really beautiful to see because he bnngs beautiful to see because he brings a different sensibility to it. He sort of takes the little vignettes of everyday life sort of twist life and sort of gently twist them absurdity and its them into absurdity and its nice bringing that into the live form of stand up comedy where you get instant reaction you can get an instant reaction and we thought it would be, as i said the original to said, the original idea was to do cancelled comedians do a sort of cancelled comedians gig, know, with everybody gig, you know, with everybody advertised. And we thought actually unveil actually well sort of unveil him gig and we can create him at the gig and we can create a bit of sort of marketing mystery around it. As it happened, really happened, we sold out really quickly and just quickly anyway, and we just thought, tell thought, well, well just tell people just so its just how things worked out. Just really quickly, view on quickly, what was your view on the reaction . The overall reaction . Some comedians because i saw some comedians like that joe like defending it. That was Joe Caulfield saying im proud to be from henning vane from leith, whereas henning vane tweeted real mistake tweeted that its a real mistake to celebrate the cancellation of a fellow comedian. So comedians are a bit less, a bit less vocal than they normally are about how great this cancellation was. Maybe on the fence maybe theyre on the fence waiting which waiting to see which way the wind what think . Wind blows. What do you think . I think youre probably right. The thing thats really noticeable its been noticeable is that its been a national in fact, its been an International News story. And the from comedians , the silence from comedians, comedy critics, you know, the industry is really astounding. Industry is really astounding. And i think it shows how much its become a corporate event. Its become a corporate event. Its not. So i was speaking to somebody who has lived in edinburgh for years and seen the edinburgh for years and seen the Edinburgh Fringe develop, and it used to be lots of sort of amateurs and Community Halls and it to be much more of it used to be much more of a sort community, gutsy , sort of community, gutsy, amateur people going and trying stuff out and experimenting. And now of sort of now its more of a sort of corporate people corporate funnel that people sort of build up their act, try and it in of the tv and get it in front of the tv commissioners, get the commissioners, try and get the good critics. And i think its shut that shut out all all of that creativity. So i think i think, creativity. So i think i think, yeah , sort of accidentally weve yeah, sort of accidentally weve sort of brought the spirit of the fringe back and maybe we should it all year round. In should do it all year round. In fact, the people in edinburgh are theres such are now saying theres such a demand we set demand for it that we should set up regular comedy and night in up a regular comedy and night in edinburgh and might try that. Edinburgh and we might try that. Brilliant. All that would be brilliant. All right. Us, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. Us, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. We us, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. We can us, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. We can do js, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. We can do a, that would be brilliant. All right. Thanks. We can do a round andy. Thanks. We can do a round of for andy. I think we of applause for andy. I think we should thank you. All so that should thank you. All so that was co founder of comedy unleashed, andy shaw. Hes a total legend. And what do you think, guys . Do you follow this think, guys . Do you follow this whole thing . Presumably you did. I did yeah, i did. And i did a video about it because was so video about it because i was so angry and disgusted at what actually happened to graham. Comedians purport to be free thinkers. They purported to be people who punch up, who challenge authority. But what they are is the worst type of conformists possible. Petty minded , shallow only really minded, shallow only really interested in their own career progression and actually will only pick a topic if it suits them. And the industry itself basically what im saying is id go to that festival, id have the entire place napalm, and there wouldnt be one innocent loss of life. So itd be great, mate. Thats what im saying. I wish you wouldnt hold back. Francis. This is free speech nation, i thought speech nation, man. I thought i felt. But youre even. Felt like that. But youre even. You said all that on joe you said all that stuff on joe rogan which is rogan as well, which is hilarious. One that joe hilarious. This is one that joe rogan all the rogan podcast and all the comedians were so mad that he told like is. It is a very told it like it is. It is a very conformist now, conformist industry now, and thats i of thats one reason i sort of distance myself from it. But paul distance myself from it. But paul, you think . Paul, what do you think . Well, found thing well, i found one thing i found interesting was those found most interesting was those that the that spoke up for the cancellation the people who cancellation and the people who have no fear of cancellation itself are those that that never believe they could ever be cancelled because they believe theyre on the right side of history or the right side of the argument, the right of argument, the right side of the debate, and art itself is debate, comedy and art itself is not about that. Its not about whether youre right or wrong. Its about what you create , how its about what you create, how you inspire the reaction you get from if you just have the from it. If you just have the same comedy week out same comedy week in week out that talked about no pronouns for instance, youd have channel 4, youd have channel 4. Yeah. All right. Well, that seems like a good ending. And lets go to break. Next on lets go to the break. Next on free talked free speech nation, we talked to writer commentator writer and commentator lewis mcclatchy about the backlash against the forthcoming snow white and whether people white movie and whether people are sick feminism in films. Are sick of feminism in films. Im that ill very im sure that ill go very well for dont away. Radio. Welcome back to speed station. Later in the show, ill be turning agony uncle with the help of my panel, Francis Foster and cox to with your and paul cox to help with your unfiltered email us unfiltered dilemmas. So email us at gb views at gb news. And well try desperately to answer your questions. Now, whod have thought the latest person to be cancelled would be snow white . Thought the latest person to be canyabout would be snow white . Thought the latest person to be canyabout woulc ife snow white . Thought the latest person to be canyabout woulc if you ow white . Thought the latest person to be canyabout woulc if you ask alhite . Thought the latest person to be canyabout woulc if you ask me. 3 . Its about time. If you ask me. Dont even get me started on those more those dwarves. But more specifically, rachel zegler, who plays white in the woke plays snow white in the new woke remake, trouble for remake, has been in trouble for a statements about the a series of statements about the movie she emphasised movie in which she emphasised that this version will be that this version will not be about for about snow white looking for love. Went as far love. In fact, she went as far as calling the prince stalker as calling the prince a stalker and suggested that his and suggested that all his scenes easily cut. Scenes could easily be cut. Imagine actor who imagine being the actor who plays that guy. Instead, she claims about white claims its all about snow white becoming leader she becoming the brave leader she knows be. But is that knows she can be. But is that what snow white what we want from a snow white film . Really reflect film . And does it really reflect modern lets ask modern women . Well, lets ask social commentator writer social commentator and writer lois mcclatchy miller, joins lois mcclatchy miller, who joins me. So, lois, you wrote me now. So, lois, you wrote a brilliant article about the girlboss and the decline of the girlboss. And i believe it had a massive impact on some people that read it. Thats true. Well, women thats true. Well, women across social media have been giving a bit of backlash to these comments that Rachel Ziegler made because she sets up this of what this archetype of what a successful woman should be and she says its a girlboss that someone whos independent and empowered all by empowered and can do all by herself, no man necessary. And herself, no man necessary. And girls need their prince girls dont need their prince charming. Well, wrote charming. Well, i wrote an article response to say that article in response to say that actually a lot of women want a prince charming. They dont want prince charming. They dont want to be doing this by to be doing this all by themselves. And they actually want of an empowered want to be part of an empowered couple able support couple who is able to support each others each other in each others masculine strengths each other in each others nyeah, ine strengths each other in each others nyeah, one strengths each other in each others nyeah, one of strengths each other in each others nyeah, one of friendstrengths. Yeah, one of my friends actually read this article and quit a result of this quit herjob as a result of this because she said that she realised that she was not getting fulfilment and support as a woman in this kind of very big, high paid but high intense corporate job. And she said that actually she would like to denve actually she would like to derive meaningful fulfilment from her life, from investing in relationships and family. Okay , thats an amazing okay, thats an amazing result from an article i wrote. An article people say, oh, that was good. Nick you know what i mean . Like, i might follow your substack for free or something. People its just people reading . No, its just like, quitting, out. Like, im quitting, im out. Its Jerry Maguire like, im quitting, im out. Its like, maguire like, im quitting, im out. Its like, iviaguire like, im quitting, im out. Its like, i dontre be moment. Like, i dont want to be a because basically a girl because basically what she idea of she was sick of this idea of like like careers, like corporate, like careers, everything. Now going everything. Is she now going to have know . Have a family or do we not know . I thats the well, i think thats the intention. Says that intention. She says that her whole was sucked up into whole world was sucked up into this corporate she this corporate job and she was looking females in this looking at other females in this career mothers and they career who are mothers and they were getting a hard time in the workplace as late as were getting a hard time in the wip. M,ace as late as were getting a hard time in the wip. M, as as late as were getting a hard time in the wip. M, as early as late as were getting a hard time in the wip. M, as early as as late as were getting a hard time in the wip. M, as early as 6 as late as were getting a hard time in the w� p. M, as early as 6 p. M,ate as were getting a hard time in the wip. M, as early as 6 pm, theys 6 pm, as early as 6 pm, they thought. And it was just no space for to her thrive as the mother that she wanted to be and to have those other fulfilling parts of life. So this parts of her life. So this feminism that is championing the girlboss was not working girlboss was really not working out many others. Out for her or for many others. Point out your and you point out in your piece other piece and youve said in other places that feminists used to be pro and children pro marriage and pro children and actually they were even pro christian, which people have forgotten now its forgotten about. And now its sort seen thats all bad sort of seen as thats all bad was be able to be was used to be able to be a feminist and sort of be a mother at the same time. Apparently thats to thats gone and that used to exist, thats gone and that used to exisfeminism really feminism has really taken a wrong earliest wrong turn. So the earliest feminists they were seeking to build society that fits build a society that fits around, around the needs of around, fits around the needs of women. So thats ending maternity discrimination and allowing women to be wives and mothers still have mothers and still have fulfilling flexible fulfilling work with flexible hours or whatever needed. Hours or whatever they needed. Somewhere the line, somewhere along the line, feminism turned this feminism turned into this kind of. Bradshaw the of carry. Bradshaw sex in the city feminism , where was city type feminism, where it was all about living a hedonistic lifestyle, not having commitments , not being part of a commitments, not being part of a committed relationship, but just being to do whatever they being able to do whatever they wanted. This brand of wanted. And this brand of feminism is the one thats kind of followed into the 21st of followed us into the 21st century. But actually it made us a very lonely and isolated nation. If you look at our statistics, a lot of people who are living by themselves and not by choice, but by circumstance, they would like to have family by choice, but by circumstance, theyhavent like to have family by choice, but by circumstance, theyhavent beeno have family by choice, but by circumstance, theyhavent been given� family by choice, but by circumstance, theyhavent been given the amily but havent been given the support so. Support to do so. Some would say because some people would say that inception that feminism at its inception is dare say is wrong. I wouldnt dare say that on my first go on this show. People have show. But you know, people have said kind its said because its kind of its a sort left wing in sort of left wing ideology in it. Against women it. It pits men against women from might from the start. You might say, it achieve it was necessary to achieve things vote. But things like the vote. But then again, used have again, men didnt used to have the vote before 1918. They had to through first world to go through the First World War 30 didnt war for men under 30 who didnt own it. So my own property to get it. So my contention did even own property to get it. So my contentneed did even own property to get it. So my contentneed feminism iid even own property to get it. So my contentneed feminism or even own property to get it. So my contentneed feminism or did even own property to get it. So my contentneed feminism or did we1 did we need feminism or did we just legislation . Just need legislation . But anyway, topic. Anyway, probably a big topic. But you would that but you would say perhaps that feminism gone awry and feminism has just gone awry and actually as well actually the government as well has not supported mothers with policies as well. Right, right. Well, i that any well, i think that any solution sexes solution which pits sexes against each other a flawed against each other is a flawed solution. So that for solution. So that goes for extreme which says extreme feminism, which says that needless that prince charming is needless and a and and doesnt need a scene. And it goes for the other extreme of patriarchy, which gives women no rights no meaning and no rights and no meaning and no equality. So what we need is solutions that represent the kind marriage that that kind of marriage that that successfully allow both sexes to flourish in the in their unique capacity. But yeah, the government, as you raise it hasnt really done enough to support women in that capacity. Support women in that capacity. Theyve been very gdp focussed when they at solutions. So when they look at solutions. So they have looked solutions to they have looked at solutions to get mothers straight back into the after have the workplace after they have a child earning child and get her back earning money outsource that money and, and outsource that childcare to another entity. Also making profit. Whereas i would to love see solutions which actually allow women to be credited and supported maybe through tax systems , maybe through tax systems, maybe through tax systems, maybe through kind of just social credit to be able to stay at home and be rewarded for that investment in the next generation. Because we know from the statistics that that is the best thing you can be doing to for of the next for the advancement of the next of future. Of the future. Okay. Just probably lastly on and just probably lastly on this, there really this, do you think there really is because there was this, do you think there really is backlash because there was this, do you think there really is backlash onlineiuse there was this, do you think there really isbacklash online againstre was this, do you think there really isbacklash online against this . ; a backlash online against this . Rachel zegler, just rachel zegler, but she also just might be a young, annoying person. At some of person. If you look at some of the done. Shed had the things shes done. Shed had a at j. K. Rowling being a go at j. K. Rowling for being transphobic to transphobic and she tried to cancel so shes cancel loads of people. So shes kind woke an annoying kind of woke an annoying and young learn, young and maybe shell learn, but it was but then but you felt it was indicative of this larger sort of backlash against this kind of excessive feminism, which is that Wishful Thinking from that just Wishful Thinking from you or i think thats really going now. Going to happen now. Its part of a trend. I think its part of a trend. We want our prince charming back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphoria, gorgeous back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand gorgeous back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand actress gorgeous back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand actress , gorgeous back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand actress , she rgeous back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand actress , she saidjs back. Sydney sweeney, who was in euphorand actress , she said that back. Sydney sweeney, who was in eupihas nd actress , she said that back. Sydney sweeney, who was in eupihas all actress , she said that back. Sydney sweeney, who was in eupihas all theess , she said that back. Sydney sweeney, who was in eupihas all theess , shein|id that back. Sydney sweeney, who was in eupihas all theess , shein herhat she has all the success in her career but what career in the world, but what she wants is a family and she really wants is a family and tulisa from n dubz. Come tulisa from n dubz. Shes come out recently shes out and said recently that shes once partnerships once committed partnerships now and women who been and so many women who have been in industry which promotes in an industry which promotes that feminism are that girlboss feminism are actually saying, hang on, this isnt for and we want isnt good for women and we want partnerships and partnerships, marriage and support to women in our own support to be women in our own capacity yeah, well, i kind capacity back yeah, well, i kind of i of its turning, of i kind of hope its turning, but im im not 100 convinced. I mean, youre sort of youre quite traditional, arent you . Youre in youre christian. You believe in the marriage. Youve the traditional marriage. Youve just married. Just got married. I did just just got married. Married. I didjust get married. I thought were going i thought people were going to they they to clap then, but they they actually didnt. My, my question actually didnt. My, my question is, well , lastly is, do you is, well, lastly is, do you think men can actually be won around there because men are now so theyve watching andrew so theyve been watching andrew tate theyve tate and theyve theyve had enough theyre enough of feminism and theyre watching on watching red pill content on youtube. Theyve kind of youtube. And theyve kind of like youtube. And theyve kind of uke enough youtube. And theyve kind of like enough this like had enough of this whole thing. And do you think you can thing. And do you think you can win into sort of win back men into sort of traditional and traditional arrangement and marriage . Managers traditional arrangement and marri lots managers managers traditional arrangement and marri lots managers thinkingrs think lots of managers thinking its it. Weve got no its not worth it. Weve got no fault , weve custody fault divorce, weve got custody issues. Even issues. Theyre not even bothering. Do you win them back . Right. Well i said right. Well like i said before, solutions, which before, i think solutions, which pit each other before, i think solutions, which pit put each other before, i think solutions, which pit put one each other before, i think solutions, which pit put one over each other before, i think solutions, which pit put one over yabovether before, i think solutions, which pit put one over above the and put one over and above the other are doomed to failure. So i a swing back that goes i think a swing back that goes too far and diminishes women to just objects or kind of has this very harsh generalising attitude to all women. I think thats just as damaging as the extreme feminism , which is essentially feminism, which is essentially the same to men. So i think the the same to men. So i think the only solution which will allow both thrive is to have both sexes to thrive is to have that complementary ism, to have solutions where men and men and women generally get along and Masculine Energy that is the prince charming energy is not kind of dismissed, but equally the kind of strength that it takes a woman to birth a child and feed them and raise them. Thats not dismissed as as meaningless either. But both are equally valued. Equally valued. Okay. Well, that seems terribly reasonable, isnt it . Lois, miller, lois, mcclatchy, miller, everyone. All right. Thanks, everyone. All right. Thanks, lois. Next on free speech nation, womens football expert toby young joins me to talk about the lionesses so see you in a minute. Welcome to free speech nation. Now, obviously, the lionesses are a massive topic today, but do you care . And if you didnt, do you care . And if you didnt, would you dare admit it . Because it like womens football it seems like womens football has current thing it seems like womens football has we current thing it seems like womens football has we all current thing it seems like womens football has we all have current thing it seems like womens football has we all have to current thing it seems like womens football has we all have to celebratething it seems like womens football has we all have to celebrate if ng that we all have to celebrate if we get cancelled. We dont want to get cancelled. Even to even Prince William had to apologise he apologise and explain why he wasnt attend the wasnt going to attend the final. Discuss this, im final. So to discuss this, im joined general secretary of joined by general secretary of the speech union and the Free Speech Union and co host of the excellent weekly sceptic podcast , toby young, sceptic podcast, toby young, whos a cheeky piece for whos written a cheeky piece for the spectator entitled am i allowed to fun of womens allowed to make fun of womens football . So, toby, you get football . So, toby, did you get the your question . The answer to your question . Yeah the answer is no. Nick made fun of womens football today. Football today. I think you risk being sent to prison for at least two years. So , you know, one of i think so, you know, one of i think one of the hallmarks of our soft Totalitarian Society is that there are certain things youre forbidden to enjoy, like, you know, the poetry of Rudyard Kipling , the novels of pg kipling, the novels of pg wodehouse , the jokes, the stand wodehouse, the jokes, the stand up routine of grey and linehan completely verboten. But there completely verboten. But there are also certain things its mandatory to enjoy. Youre not allowed, not to enjoy them. And womens football. Im afraid, falls into that category. I falls into that category. I imagine there are plenty of men football fans who were under a three line whip this morning to watch the final and woe betide the man who joked to his wife or his girlfriend that there were nail technicians on the kind of medical team or that when a woman was taken off to get her hair fixed, he made a gag about you know, having to get it curled or permed or something along know, it along those lines. You know, it was forbidden to joke was it was forbidden to joke about womens football today of all days. Yeah. And i absolutely i condemn that misogyny from you there, toby. Absolutely. But yeah , i mean, the city car yeah, i mean, in the city car advert, was like if you said advert, it was like if you said womens football, wasnt that good, considered good, that was considered basically from sexual basically one notch from Sexual Assault had to step assault and someone had to step in meh, are in and go, meh, why are you saying that . Then sopel saying that . And then jon sopel tweeted why are rishi tweeted that. Why are rishi sunak Prince William , why sunak and Prince William, why are they not at the game . And its a disgrace and all this kind its almost kind of thing. So its almost like peterson talked like when Jordan Peterson talked about he about compelled speech, when he said youre said that its like youre compelled womens compelled to like the womens football. Have football. But toby, i have to for regulations. Football. But toby, i have to for to regulations. Football. But toby, i have to for to say ulations. Football. But toby, i have to for to say ,lations. Football. But toby, i have to for to say , you ns. What . Also have to say, you know what . Arent killjoy . I arent you being a killjoy . I mean, great team. Mean, theyre a great team. People are loving it across the country. Heres in the country. And heres you in the corner want to just corner going, oh, i want to just mock womens football. I mean , think you know, yeah. I mean, think you know, think luckily we just about have enough free speech in our society to protect people who who want to have a bit of a laugh about womens football. I mean , for me, its not that mean, for me, its not that i want to belittle the achievement of the lionesses or in any way discourage teenage girls from playing football. Its just the element of compulsion, as you say, which slightly gets my goat. Its this notion that you have to enjoy it. You have no choice. That theres something remiss about rishi sunak and Prince William for not going to australia, for not being enthused enough. And, you know, its one thing to be lectured by women about this. I mean, they have dog in the fight. Thats have a dog in the fight. Thats understandable. Its men, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow dable. Its men, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow ,able. Its men, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow , get�. Its men, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow , get their men, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow , get their fingers|en, have a dog in the fight. Thats undyknow , get their fingers ini, you know, get their fingers in your face and tell you you should be enjoying it and if you describe it as bit a joke, describe it as a bit of a joke, then you must be a misogynist. You about to rape somebody you know, about to rape somebody in. When lecture you about in. When men lecture you about it, its as they dont it, its as though they dont really care themselves about womens they probably really care themselves about wome know they probably really care themselves about wome know much they probably really care themselves about wome know much they prcto bly dont know much about it, to be honest. Just to honest. Theyre just trying to diferente from kind honest. Theyre just trying to diilesste from kind honest. Theyre just trying to diiless enlightened, from kind honest. Theyre just trying to diiless enlightened, lessn kind of less enlightened, less sophisticated men, lower down the kind of class hierarchy than them. Theres an element of snobbery involved which really kind of sticks in my craw. Kind of sticks in my craw. Yeah, yeah, i got that. I was in my Football Team and i said, oh, you know, the keepers arent that good. And someone my that good. And someone in my Football Team rebuked me, said, theyve nick theyve got a lot better. Nick and oh, im sorry. And i was like, oh, im sorry. It like the khan it was like the sadiq khan ad campaign. Mate , i campaign. He was like, mate, i think they should make the goal smaller. I think hard. Smaller. I think it is too hard. You like a six foot you have to be like a six foot four around four acrobat to jump around those massive. Those goals. Theyre massive. And church and did you also see the church when said its okay if you when they said its okay if you want miss church and go to want to miss church and go to the or then the football . Or then i heard then the bishop actually didnt exactly say what did you exactly say that. What did you make . Make of that . Though yeah, its as though worshipping at the altar of gender equality is now more important than worshipping the altar of jesus christ. Even if altar of jesus christ. Even if youre an anglican bishop, which was quite something when i wrote my spectator article, i talked a bit about megan rapinoe. Ms so she is probably the most celebrated member of the us womens Football Team. Shes incredible mouthy. Shes super woke. She won the president ial woke. She won the president ial medal of honour from joe biden. She thinks that biological men should be able to compete against biological women in professional football. She never sings the national anthem. She she, more than anyone else, i think has kind of passionately argued that women should be paid the same as men. And there the same as men. And there really is no difference between womens mens football. If womens and mens football. If anything, womens is anything, womens football is better more better because theyre more successful than us mens successful than the us mens team. So to see her miss a penalty and it was the last penalty and it was the last penalty and it was the last penalty and the penalty shootout against you against sweden effectively, you know , smoothing way know, smoothing the way for sweden to the quarter finals, it was just glorious. It was just too great not to celebrate. Yeah, well , too great not to celebrate. Yeah, well, i too great not to celebrate. Yeah, well , i see where yeah, well, i see where youre from. Obviously, youre coming from. Obviously, i completely thanks, completely disagree, but thanks, toby, toby young, everyone. So co hosts of the brilliant weekly sceptic podcast and the host is very good looking and talented. We who it so fans, we wont say who it is. So fans, we established you didnt we weve established you didnt watch , paul. You watch the game, paul. Did you see come what we see it . I come in what we said i did your big arent did watch your big fan arent you did you disagree with toby on anything . I didnt disagree with toby on because on anything, actually, because the was, should the question to toby was, should we made to watch it . And we be made to watch it . And under circumstances should we under no circumstances should we made enjoy something made to watch or enjoy something if we dont want based on if we dont want to based on some now dont some ideology. So now i dont disagree about the audience . Are what about the audience . Are you did you love womens you did you love the womens football . Likes it . Football . Who likes it .

Y isnt hat fact that downing street didnt have important because. Y isn the it that important because isnt the history because history behind it . Not because we hate women, because there isnt look, isnt the same history. Look, first, bit of a first, i think tobys a bit of a hypocrite, right . This man who pays to go this is a man who pays to go and right, all and watch qpr. All right, all right, that right, lets make that absolutely clear. Womens football is better than watching qpr next. Number one, we have to go on number one. Sorry. I think that point was Strong Enough because hes got the next break. So thats for the next break. So thats it for the next break. So thats it for the first of free speech. The first hour of free speech. But because but dont go away because theres to come. Theres much more to come.

It kind of leaves the uk in between weather systems, but this area of low pressure is starting to actually push thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain in across Northern Ireland and northwest scotland for further to the south, across england and wales , largely clear england and wales, largely clear skies and under those clear skies, we do see some low cloud mist and fog developing by dawn overnight , but temperatures overnight, but temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures right the way across the board. Now its a bright start come monday morning with any low cloud mist and fog across the south, quickly lifting and breaking , leaving a pleasant breaking, leaving a pleasant enough day for many across the south. Further north, we have that rain edging in from the west and that rain will become locally heavy by the course of the afternoon. Temperatures on the afternoon. Temperatures on monday generally slightly higher than the values we saw on sunday with highs of 25 across the across the south and 21 further south, north. So that band of cloud and rain continues to sink south on tuesday. And this kind of sets the scene for the rest of sets the scene for the rest of the week as low pressure gradually wins out, turning increasingly showery for all by mid week and temperatures peaking on wednesday, particularly across the south and east by for now , the and east by for now, the temperatures rising. Temperatures rising. Boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on gb news weather. Still plenty more to come on free speech nation. But first, lets get a quick news update from Tatiana Sanchez i good evening. This is the latest from the gb newsroom. England have missed out on world cup glory , losing the final to cup glory, losing the final to spain. One nil the lionesses came agonisingly close to becoming the first england senior side to win the trophy since the mens team in 1966. The king praised their skill, determination and team spirit and the Prime Minister said while it wasnt to be, theyve already secured their legacy as game changers. Already secured their legacy as game changers. Despite the loss, game changers. Despite the loss, gini ally , a member of the gini ally, a member of the original Lionesses Team of 1972, still has hopes for the future. I think that whole the whole of england is very emotional at the moment. It could have come home. Spain was just that little bit better if i have to be honest, we should have just done the take the chances. What we had. It wasnt to be. It will come home eventually. Come home eventually. In other news, the British Medical Association is calling for hospital managers to be regulated in a similar way to medical staff. The call comes regulated in a similar way to medical staff. The call comes in the wake of lucy letby conviction. The bma says its deeply worrying that Council Agents who repeatedly raised concerns about the former nurse werent listened to. Letby, who was found guilty of the murder of seven babies and the attempted murder of six others, has indicated she wont attend her sentencing tomorrow. Former justice secretary Robert Buckland says she should be forced to listen. Forced to listen. My suggestion had been to make sure that there was a live link beamed into the cell, either sound or sound and pictures to ensure that letby had nowhere to hide and that she, in effect , has to listen to she, in effect, has to listen to what the judge is saying about the case and most importantly, the case and most importantly, the victim. Personal statements , those impact statements that will really bring home, i think, to the wider world the appalling , devastating impact of the loss of these innocent children, these innocent babies have had upon dozens of families. Upon dozens of families. A new brit school set to open in bradford in west yorkshire. In bradford in west yorkshire.

Allo me. Youve changed. No. Youve gone well. All right. Weve another question from weve got another question from marcus. There is. Weve got another question from maishould there is. Weve got another question from maishould bradley is. Weve got another question from maishould Bradley Cooper should Bradley Cooper apologise for his prosthetic nose . Nose . Ah, his prosthetic nose. In the film, about bradley the film, this is about Bradley Coopers of the late coopers depiction of the late west story composer leonard west side story composer leonard bernstein, which attracted criticism the of criticism over the size of his nose. Some suggested it nose. Some have suggested it plays offensive jewish plays up to offensive jewish stereotypes. Any thoughts . Francis well, as a big nose man, i find it disgusting that this form of Cultural Appropriation exists big nose character actor should only be able to play big nose parts. Yes but. But also francis , i mean, shouldnt you francis, i mean, shouldnt you not be standing up for the big nose community who are not jewish, who just want to play carol actors . I mean, why does everyone have to have the exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean,a have to have the exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean, theye to have the exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean, they call have the exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean, they call thise the exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean, they call this jew exact carol actors . I mean, why does emean, they call this jew face,t i mean, they call this jew face, which sounds so bad. Im not even im allowed to say it. Even sure im allowed to say it. Thats the theyve been thats the word theyve been using and they thats the word theyve been usirits and they thats the word theyve been usirits blackface,|d they thats the word theyve been usirits blackface, but1ey say its like blackface, but its not quite like say its like blackface, but itsbut not quite like say its like blackface, but itsbut but not quite like say its like blackface, but itsbut but i not quite like say its like blackface, but itsbut but i mean,uite like say its like blackface, but itsbut but i mean,uite family it. But but i mean, the family have said its completely fine. They hang our they said, well, hang on. Our dad quite a big nose. Dad did have quite a big nose. Whats with that . Whats the problem with that . Probably well, theyre probably white supremacists, well, theyre probably white suprem. Got s, well, theyre probably white suprem. Got that, even though theyve got that, even though theyre why theyre jewish. Thats why theyve opinion. Theyve got that opinion. Internalised their so ive internalised their internalised white yeah, theres classic you know its i just think this is so ridiculous. My favourite example of this was the actor michael sheen, who said only welsh actors should be able to play welsh characters. And you think , how many welsh and you think, how many welsh characters are there and how many welsh actors are there . Many welsh actors are there . Yeah, exactly. You know, wales is officially the least interesting country on earth. They produce about three people of merit and one of them is a dragon. Yes, im one of dragon. So yes, im one of thems neville southall. Dragon. So yes, im one of the yeah,eville southall. Dragon. So yes, im one of the yeah, exactly. Yuthall. Dragon. So yes, im one of the yeah, exactly. And ll. It. Yeah, exactly. And thats it. Yeah. Yeah for balance, i should probably say wales is amazing. Beautiful language, great people, great people. Great. What did you think , paul, to what did you think, paul, to this this when i when i this one . This when i when i first got that a bit late , it first got that a bit late, it was like a delay, like a satellite delay. There were lovely impressions, guys, for those there dont know were those out there dont know were actually arent we . And em the fans at the and it was the fans at the back it. When first back that got it. When i first read this story. Not another read this story. Oh, not another story someone with a story about how someone with a small play someone small nose cant play someone with. But when i saw with a big nose. But when i saw the two photograph together, it was like theyd half was like theyd stuck half a water melon onto his face. It was. It was. It was over. Accentuated and it was asking for trouble. However that aside, i dont think its an issue. I think if youre just he did have a bigger nose and Bradley Cooper i yeah i dont know it can get a bit silly like francis says with the welsh thing. I mean where would it end . It is acting. Acting is acting. You know, anyone offended know, was anyone offended by this . Know. Did this . They didnt you know. Did you about it . No you even hear about it . No youve heard of oh, you youve heard of it. Oh, you heard but you werent heard about it, but you werent offended. I think offended. Okay so i think weve deau offended. Okay so i think weve dealt weve dealt with that one. Oh, weve got question from david. Got another question from david. Okay. This one starts checkmate. Does your gender checkmate. So does your gender impact on your ability to play great chess . Great chess . Oh, interesting. Controversial. So the World Chess Federation fide banned transgender women from competing in female events. But this move faced backlash from advocacy groups and supporters of transgender rights. The federation added that transgender could transgender players could still compete in the open of compete in the open section of its tournaments. I dont know if its tournaments. I dont know if that helps, what do that really helps, but what do you think, paul . Transphobic chess. Yeah, its incredible. I mean, im working class. I dont know played anyway, know how its played anyway, but one thing have learnt is there know how its played anyway, but ora thing have learnt is there know how its played anyway, but ora differenceve learnt is there know how its played anyway, but ora difference between is there know how its played anyway, but ora difference between menare is a difference between men and women. Once, is women. And for once, this is a story about transgender story about the transgender issue highlights that story about the transgender issue is highlights that story about the transgender issue is quite highlights that story about the transgender issue is quite clearly1ts that there is quite clearly a difference between men and women. This is its got nothing to do with physicality. This with physicality. This this is all do our complete all to do with our complete biological, anatomical makeup, with the way that people think, because saying that men because its saying that men have brains. Well, im because its saying that men hav saying brains. Well, im because its saying that men hav saying anything alell, im because its saying that men hav saying anything like im because its saying that men hav saying anything like that not saying anything like that because when i when i spoke about it could be the women have got what was the reason got brains. What was the reason theyre away to think theyre going away to think about it . It was clearly about it . It was quite clearly they believe a they believe there is a difference between men and women. Mean, this has nothing women. I mean, this has nothing to with physicality all. To do with physicality at all. Its rugby or its not like playing rugby or or more akin or whatever. Its more akin to darts than it anything else. Darts than it is anything else. Chess darts arent often compared, however , ive just compared, however, ive just ive just done nearest analogy in your life. Ive just done it. But the point only brain but the point is its only brain matter, isnt it . Thats the only difference between that differentiates these people. Differentiates these people. Well, i thought about that and the agenda. The agenda. Well, my theory, and its only my little layman theory is, well, one men are well, one thing is men are supposed its that men supposed to its not that men are higher iq, but apparently there male, there are more male, ridiculously outliers in ridiculously high iq outliers in society. These sort of society. Just these sort of freaks insane an iq. Freaks who have insane an iq. People doyle, these people like andrew doyle, these kind people kind of insanely high iq people , mainly men, which could be an issue for chess. But the other thing is my theory. What thing is it is my theory. What if testosterone . If you think this theory. Francis testosterone more testosterone could make you more aggressive chess board, aggressive on the chess board, like had a kind like Garry Kasparov had a kind of aggressive andrew of aggressive style. Andrew takes had a very, very takes that had a very, very aggressive chess style. So that could another angle ive just could be another angle ive just thought do reckon . Thought of. What do you reckon . As know, chess well, as we all know, chess is game of logic and men is a game of logic and men are more logical. It he so there it is. He went straight there. You. You straight in there. You. You thought the crowd laughed. They just stared blankly. Out ive found where turns out ive found where the line is. And im way over it. Yeah. Yeah. Youre going to be wishing someone one will go off. I mean, so off. But yeah, yeah. I mean, so you are you just think that men are more logical therefore . Logical in that, therefore . Actually, well, i actually, i dont. I dont understand why this is. Well, i actually, i dont. I dontcanterstand why this is. Well, i actually, i dont. I dontcant transd why this is. Well, i actually, i dont. I dontcant trans women1is is. Well, i actually, i dont. I dontcant trans women compete why cant trans women compete against women in chess . Against women in chess . Well, its not clear to me either , but does it. Either, but it does suggest it. I look, i think were i mean, look, i think were going have to realise going to all have to realise at one and women are one point that men and women are different, and different, as paul says, and it just deep. Mean, just goes very deep. I mean, it is cell, isnt it . As is in every cell, isnt it . As scientists have said, its in every of your dna. So were every cell of your dna. So were just realise just going to have to realise that and should that we are different and should never should never meet. We should be separate , separate categories of separate, separate categories of chess dark at least. Chess in the dark at least. Yeah, sports, yeah, yeah. Of sports, everything right, everything all right, well, lets get question. I lets get one more question. I think we did really well on that one from believe. One from chris. I believe. Fund should the Government Fund drag should the drag story hour should the Government Fund drag story hour . Interesting. This is the welsh funded drag welsh Government Funded drag story for children last story time for children last summer but its now come out that its funding came from a £7 million summer of fund scheme which was intended promote which was intended to promote children and young peoples social emotional , mental social emotional, mental and physical. What do you physical well being. What do you make of this one . Francis i think they fund it think they should fund it because they for anything think they should fund it becathe they for anything think they should fund it becathe governmentnything think they should fund it becathe Government Funds; think they should fund it becathe Government Funds is that the Government Funds is complete rubbish. So what theyll do is theyll fund it. People will go along to it. This is absolutely it. Go, go. This is absolutely terrible. Never coming back terrible. Im never coming back to ever again. And then the to this ever again. And then the whole collapses. You whole thing just collapses. You defeat, story time from the defeat, drag story time from the inside. Through funding it to yeah. Through funding it to death. But making the council but make making the council do by making governments do it. Yeah. I mean, it. Yeah. I mean, i sort it. Yeah. I mean, i sort of agree with that. Quasi libertarian with that. My quasi libertarian leanings, i kind of think thats right. Paul . Right. What do you think, paul . I dont care well, i mean, i dont care whos funding it or not. What i do about whether, you do care about is whether, you know, gay men as women know, gay men dressed as women are dangling in front are dangling their bits in front of for some of of children for some sort of Educational Entertainment , which Educational Entertainment, which this most gammon sentence this is the most gammon sentence yet tonight. I mean, its yet tonight. I mean, its craziness, isnt it . I mean , the craziness, isnt it . I mean, the whole history of drag is very interesting. There is a massive debate on where it came from. Was it ancient greece . Because women werent allowed on stage . The old days. Nick so women werent allowed on stage . The old days. Nick so men women werent allowed on stage . The to old days. Nick so men women werent allowed on stage . The to dressj days. Nick so men women werent allowed on stage . The to dress upays. Nick so men women werent allowed on stage . The to dress up as.

Tell you how to get your ebay. I dont what do you ebay. I dont know. What do you think most feel think this is the most i feel like the most moderate on the panel by the way. But panel tonight, by the way. But yeah, think story yeah, i mean, i think drag story houn yeah, i mean, i think drag story hour. I mean, you wouldnt really going to really want your kids going to i dont think not. Think so, because no, i dont think so, because i think its unnecessary. I just think its unnecessary. We many different we theres so many different ways with ways that you can engage with children being semi naked. Do you think its been in 30s . You think its been over 30s . Do you think its been over blown, though, kind of right blown, though, the kind of right wing conservative get wing people conservative get obsessed story and we obsessed with . Drag story and we look fools sort of look like fools to the sort of normal look like fools to the sort of normthink. Look, i think there i think. Look, i think there is something slightly distasteful about or distasteful about the whole thing. I dont about the whole thing. I dont think in all seriousness , there think in all seriousness, there is a governments place to be funding these types of things. The local government in particular has had massive cutbacks. Theres a lot more that we can be funding and a lot more that we can be doing to help people. Is help ordinary people. This is not one those schemes. Not one of those schemes. But all right. Pretty well, but i thought well it goes to thought so. Well it goes to another still come another rate. But still to come on, ill be on, free speech, nathan, ill be giving take on my giving you my take on my country. Anthony giving you my take on my courbecome anthony giving you my take on my courbecome an anthony giving you my take on my courbecome an overnight hony has become an overnight sensation. See you a minute. Radio. Two welcome back to free speech nation. So i thought wed talk about a rare feelgood story in the culture war. Have a look at this clip. Ive been selling my soul working all day over time, hours pay working all day over time, hours pay so i can sit out here and waste my life away , drive back waste my life away, drive back home and drown my troubles away. Its a shame so that was Oliver Anthony, a Country Singer who went from working in a factory to overnight viral success with his song rich men north of richmond, which we just saw, seemed to refer saw, which seemed to refer to the running things up in the people running things up in washington, two hours washington, dc, about two hours drive of richmond. Drive north of richmond. , anthony from now, anthony went from not even social media to even being on social media to 360,000 followers on twitter or as we now have to call it, and an estimated 6000 people from around flocking to his around america flocking to his gig around america flocking to his gig. And the morris farm market in north carolina, anthony said the last time played the the last time he played the venue, about people venue, about 20 people showed up. Also opened the gig by up. He also opened the gig by reading a psalm , which in reading a psalm, which in internet language is incredibly based and song clearly based and the song is clearly struck nerve. Its struck a nerve. Its authenticity as its authenticity as well as its musicality. Anthony only musicality. Anthony not only has a but when he sings a great voice, but when he sings ive selling soul, ive been selling my soul, working day, overtime, hours working all day, overtime, hours for bull bleep pay were left in. No doubt that is exactly what hes doing. This combined hes been doing. This combined with jeffrey with references to jeffrey epstein. I wish epstein. Anthony sings. I wish politicians would look out for miners just miners on an miners and not just miners on an island somewhere. And lyrics about obese people abusing welfare. If youre five foot welfare. If youre five foot three and your £300 taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge, caught the fudge, browns caught the attention us conservative attention of us conservative influencers who made the song go viral on twitter or x. This prompted Rolling Stone magazine, formerly focussed on music but now concerned with regime now more concerned with regime propaganda to attack anthony for what they called his rage and era points, barely era talking points, barely mentioning the musical content. They refer to anthonys they also refer to anthonys scathing lyrics about epstein rather ambiguously as a real head turner, as if they couldnt quite bring themselves to condemn deceased. Condemn a disgraced deceased. Anthony himself anthony calls himself a political centrist, which is fine because this is not about partisan politics, but rather a blue collar cry of rebellion against the out of touch architects of western decline and despair. Yes, the song and despair. Yes, the song resonates with american conservative lives who are now the outsiders in a country that seeks put their in seeks to put their leader in jail while their enemy in the white house to the white house seems to flaunt the untouchable corruption of his decadent clearly decadent family. And it clearly has establish an entertainment rags, that this loose rags, worried that this loose conservative movement is finally acting upon breitbarts acting upon Andrew Breitbarts famous claim that politics is downstream of culture. Lately, the arts have been dominated by wokeness as we all know. But the Major Players in the counterculture, which a sort counterculture, which is a sort of loose coalition of conservatives, libertarians and classical now classical liberals, and now realising that they need to create at least create or at very least enthusiastically promote that seems to be broadly on their side. Thats an important change. But theres also something much deeper at work here. People the world of here. People around the world of all and both sexes have all races and both sexes have been posting reaction videos to anthonys song and all of them are clearly incredibly moved. Are clearly incredibly moved. Thats because taps thats because the song taps into core truth about that into a core truth about that controlling that seems to controlling force that seems to have been immiseration for the majority of over the last majority of us over the last several years. It the several years. Call it the regime. , the regime. The deep state, the blob, the globalist agenda , the blob, the globalist agenda, the cathedral, whichever term you prefer. Anthony has put his prefer. Anthony has put his finger on it in a way that only great can. Living in the new great art can. Living in the new world an old he sings world with an old soul, he sings and wish i could just wake and says, wish i could just wake up and it not be true. But it is. How many of us have felt like that, especially since the covid anthony. Covid era with Oliver Anthony. We authentic artist for we have an authentic artist for our telling it like is our times, telling it like it is. Whoever may and. Whoever that may upset and quite fittingly for a lone travelling singer speaking out for the plight of individual for the plight of the individual against oppressive apparatus against the oppressive apparatus of power. And having a pop of power. And yes, having a pop of power. And yes, having a pop of and some fat people of epstein and some fat people while it. All right. So while hes at it. All right. So that was my fairly long monologue. Francis, did you monologue. Francis, did you follow the Oliver Anthony phenomenon . What do you make of it . Yeah, i follow the Oliver Anthony i did follow the Oliver Anthony phenomenon thought was phenomenon. I thought it was great, think its great, actually. I think its always heartening always really heartening when you who hasnt been you see somebody who hasnt been pushed forward by the Mainstream Media the Record Companies media or the Record Companies and people connect with it. That is a very essence of what art is about. Its reflecting the trials and tribulations of ordinary people and making them making them feel heard. So i loved it. Its a great story. Yeah. And it was picked up on by the right. What i was trying to say monologue, say in my monologue, it was picked conservatives, picked up on by conservatives, but necessarily but it wasnt necessarily conservative. And by the way, i said he an authentic voice. Said he was an authentic voice. He later his he is. It turned out later his name chris his name was actually chris and his grandfather is a is called grandfather is a is a is called Oliver Anthony. And thats why Oliver Anthony. And thats why he called it Oliver Anthony Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callheit Oliver Anthony Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callhe hadiver anthony Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callhe had no anthony Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callhe had no ideaiony Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callhe had no idea it1y Oliver Anthony. And thats why he callhe had no idea it would music. He had no idea it would all blow up. So its a kind of stage thats only stage name. And thats the only thing authentic about stage name. And thats the only thingpaul, authentic about stage name. And thats the only thingpaul, autiyou c about stage name. And thats the only thingpaul, autiyou make it stage name. And thats the only thingpaul, autiyou make of him. Paul, what did you make of it it very authentic. It was very authentic. I agree everything that agree with everything that francis the fact francis said. I like the fact that folk music. The that its folk music. I like the fact its telling fact that its telling a tale. I really enjoy the fact that actually its quite apolitical. The have made the only people who have made this or this incredibly political, or people Rolling Stone people like the Rolling Stone magazine pop at magazine who have had a pop at it which incredible. I mean, it, which is incredible. I mean, it, which is incredible. I mean, it feels like and know a lot it feels like and i know a lot of say this, feels of people say this, it feels like still and the like ive sat still and the world has spun and ive gone nowhere. And things like the rolling become sort Rolling Stone have become sort of almost conservative, they of almost conservative, but they dont they have in their dont realise they have in their woke ways. They dont know what woke ways. They dont know what theyre talking about. Theyre like, cool. It like, this music is not cool. It is this music is punk. Is cool. This music is punk. This music is anti culture. This music is speaking up for little people. And thats exactly why its doing well. We seem to have forgotten that meritocracy. Whilst it gets chucked out. Still exists. So people will listen to something now, watch some comedy. Theyll see a tv show and whether they are told not to like it or not, they will still enjoy it. Yeah, and massive amounts of people resonated this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean resonated this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , resonated this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , they asonated this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , they filled ed this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , they filled 25 this. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , they filled 25 acres his. Yeah, and massive amounts of pmean , they filled 25 acres of. I mean, they filled 25 acres of parking space. Thousands of people descended on this gig last time you played it. As i said, showed up. Said, hardly anyone showed up. So into something. So its tapped into something. And like you say, it beyond and like you say, it goes beyond partisan politics. Its Something Like something to do with like this controlling. Since covid, controlling. Ever since covid, its like somethings its sort of like somethings controlling. Its like the controlling. Its like the globalist have different globalist people have different names and its sort of names for it, and its a sort of global government governance that sort of controls us all. And its got all pinned down and its got us all pinned down and feel cost of and we feel like the cost of living dollars living crisis, our dollars worth your worth less as he says, your dollar bleep , dont you think . Well, its the sharks well, its like the sharks and the of blood, isnt and the smell of blood, isnt it . Was during it . What happened was during that period of time, people got power use power that they would never use to. Always dreamt of, and to. Theyd always dreamt of, and they a taste and they they got a taste of it and they just want to let it go. It just dont want to let it go. It happens all the time. Tale happens all the time. The tale was animal farm , you was told in animal farm, you know, orwell, where he where was told in animal farm, you kno pigs orwell, where he where was told in animal farm, you kno pigs essentiallyiere he where was told in animal farm, you kno pigs essentially were e where the pigs essentially were communist rose up against communist that rose up against humans. And then within about a year just humans year were just like the humans themselves. And thats whats themselves. And thats whats happened. Definitely yeah, its definitely a rebellion. And also, Rolling Stone even mention the stone didnt even mention the music. I review. Music. I did a review. Incredible i know in the incredible i know i wrote in the daily sceptic about it i daily sceptic about it and i tried least mention the tried to at least mention the musicality. Which guitar musicality. I said which guitar was what the chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to what the chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to least what the chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to least put1at the chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to least put at the chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to least put a bite chords. Musicality. I said which guitar was to least put a bit bithords. I tried to least put a bit bit of tradition of of that and the tradition of countries is like countries in which is like townes van zandt, blaze, foley, hank and was just townes van zandt, blaze, foley, hank than and was just townes van zandt, blaze, foley, hank than rollingi was just townes van zandt, blaze, foley, hank than Rolling Stonenas just townes van zandt, blaze, foley, hank than Rolling Stone even|st more than Rolling Stone even put in fantasy , there was in it. But fantasy, there was also inevitable backlash. Also an inevitable backlash. Some him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome people him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome people said him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome people said it him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome people said it was him also an inevitable backlash. Somsome people said it was kind and some people said it was kind of and then people said, of cringe. And then people said, oh, are actually oh, rich men are actually supporting your that supporting your taxes. That person didnt grasp what he meant. Didnt meant. Washington, dc he didnt meant. Washington, dc he didnt mean. Did you follow mean rich men. Did you follow the it well . The backlash to it as well . I saw a little bit of the backlash. I mean, people are allowed theyre allowed to criticise it. Theyre allowed to criticise it. Theyre allowed that allowed to say that theyre that they think its they dont like it. I think its very interesting because in many ways this shows as well is ways what this shows as well is that country misread , that country has been misread, resented. You over to the resented. If you go over to the states, the flyover states, particularly the flyover states, particularly the flyover states the south, states or states in the south, the country has always been the music of the poor white guy. So music of the poor white guy. So this essentially country this is essentially Country Music going back to its roots , music going back to its roots, talking about people who are just about making a living and what is happening now because of everything, because of covid, because of inflation, more and more people are living on those fringes of society where theyre just about making a living. And this is incredible cut through as a result. And do you think that some people the the of people on the on the sort of counterculture side are waking up we need to up to the fact that we need to do we cant do our we cant just do we cant just like, here, here are the just be like, here, here are the facts. Because, the facts. Because, you know, the conservatives in conservatives boosted this in america thats went america. Thats why it went viral. Think need that viral. Do you think we need that in whatever this in this whatever this counterculture of counterculture is of sort of cancelled we need to cancelled people, do we need to get smarter about actually get a bit smarter about actually having quality art . We do, because of course we do, because its not and do not enough to just go on and do talking points. Look, talking points well and good and points are all well and good and we discuss how how comedy is we can discuss how how comedy is not what it used to be or how we can discuss how how comedy is not moviesused to be or how we can discuss how how comedy is not movies on d to be or how we can discuss how how comedy is not movies on aso be or how we can discuss how how comedy is not movies on as entertainyw we can discuss how how comedy is not movies on as entertain him. The movies on as entertain him. But youre going to have to provide an alternative at the end of this and that is how you win, by providing an alternative that people are going to enjoy. That people are going to enjoy. Yeah, and weve seen that like daily are doing their like daily wire are doing their own films now. Proper movies. And think are to and i think people are going to have doing that because have to start doing that because the all the other movies are just all so woke. I thought, all woke. And i thought, its all oven woke. And i thought, its all over. Was great. Over. Anthony thing was great. Did this did you guys think this was good, three good, this all around . Three song . It . Yeah some song . Did you see it . Yeah some people liked it. Okay. All right, cool. Next free right, cool. Well, next on free speech talk to speech nation, well talk to alma law lecturer speech nation, well talk to alm. Was law lecturer speech nation, well talk to alm. Was from. Aw lecturer speech nation, well talk to alm. Was from the lecturer speech nation, well talk to alm. Was from the opener who was sacked from the open university for asking the wrong questions gender ideology. University for asking the wrong que� first, gender ideology. University for asking the wrong que� first, lets gender ideology. University for asking the wrong que� first, lets getender ideology. University for asking the wrong que� first, lets get the r ideology. University for asking the wrong que� first, lets get the weather|y. I looks like things are heating up. Boxed boilers proud sponsors up. Boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on. Gb news. Of weather on. Gb news. Hello , im dan strout and hello, im dan strout and this is your latest gb news forecast from the met office. So we have High Pressure to the south and low pressure to the north and west. It kind of leaves the uk in between weather systems. But this area of low pressure is starting to actually push thicker cloud and out breaks of rain in across Northern Ireland and northwest scotland. Further to the south, across england and wales , across england and wales, largely clear skies and under those clear skies, we do see some low cloud mist and fog developing by dawn overnight, temperatures remaining comfortably in double figures right the way across the board. Now its a bright start come monday morning with any low cloud mist and fog across the south, quickly lifting and breaking, leaving a pleasant enough day for many across the south. Further north, we have that rain edging in from the west and that rain will become locally heavy by the course of the afternoon. Temperatures on the afternoon. Temperatures on monday generally slightly higher than the valleys we saw on sunday with highs of 25 across the across the south and 21 further south, north. So that band of cloud and rain continues to sink south on tuesday. And this kind of sets the scene for the rest of the week as low pressure gradually wins out, turning increasingly showery for all by midweek and temperatures peaking on wednesday, particularly across the south and east for by now, looks like things are heating up. Boxed boilers proud sponsors of weather on gb news radio. Welcome back to free speech nation. Now law lecturer alma gada was fired from the open university, seemingly for raising questions about gender ideology. Managers alleged that her so called unreasonable questions had created an environment that was not inclusive , trans friendly or inclusive, trans friendly or respectful. Shes now launching respectful. Shes now launching a legal case arguing that shes been unfairly dismissed, harassed and discriminated against she rejects against because she rejects gender ideology believes in gender ideology and believes in academic freedom. And she joins me welcome. So thanks so me now. Welcome. So thanks so much for coming in. I know youve had a bit of a journey andifs youve had a bit of a journey and its a really important case. Do you want to give us a quick summary of what happened . I was well, like you say, i was sacked i questioned sacked because i questioned requirement my requirement to inculcate my students with a gender identity believe as part of teaching criminal law. So like in so many places around the beginning of the decade, you get this surge in sort of critical social justice all over the place. You get it at the open university, which then translates into the fact that the department decides that they want to modify all current curriculum, as they put it, to make it anti racist and intersex and decolonised and decarbonise and all the currently fashionable ideologies. And of course, these are politically contested ideas. But they were then to become the premise of all curriculum of everything we teach everywhere, where no longer a proposition to discuss, but the premise that you just take as read, write. Sorry. No, no, no. So it was introduced by the diversity, eqtu introduced by the diversity, equity and inclusion type people. And so you started and it was just taken as read. So it was just taken as read. So you start asking questions on the, on what the forum, what is it this forum . Yes. So this then sort of percolated down the general missives from the Editor Department were then sort of reflected in the fact that the law school where i was teaching decided that they were to going liberate the curriculum that was to going be the core theme of the new law degree that they started a couple of years ago. And liberate the curriculum. Yes theres a paper somebody wrote liberating the law curriculum. Liberating the law curriculum. And we were told that specific things that we had to cover in tutorials , we had to had been tutorials, we had to had been included in our teaching materials in order to achieve broader objective of liberating the curriculum. So much like a liberation to the layman, it sounds like youre being told what to say. No, no. And you know , coming from a country that know, coming from a country that has seen two totalitarian regimes over the last century, im very suspicious of any liberations that take away freedoms rather than giving people freedoms. Yeah, actually would be. Yeah yeah, actually would be. Yeah yeah. Yeah. I mean, you mentioned where you your your you come. I mean, your your grandfather sentenced to grandfather was sentenced to death under the for free speech issue. Is death under the for free speech issue. Is that right . He was, yes, absolutely. And of course, that was after he decided to leave university decided to leave his university or not finish his studies at the official university. But when the official institutions became so compliant, it whether you look at the or east germany , in look at the or east germany, in both cases, you have the total aryan and that just sort of puts its hand on the Steering Wheel of all institutions, including universities. And thats not a good thing in a university. So in a free country, a Free University is there to generate and disseminate knowledge, whereas in a totally aryan country, a captured university is there to generate and disseminate the knowledge that helps the regime and suppress any knowledge or ideas that might in any way question the regime. And of course, the regime. And of course, the frightening thing with ideas like liberating the curriculum is that suddenly we are no longer just there to generate generate and share knowledge on law. We are there to share knowledge, knowledge on law insofar as it is conducive with these ideas that the department wants to introduce into all current curriculum. And we are current curriculum. And we are prohibited from covering any ideas that are relevant to our subjects that are not conducive to these ideologies that that the department wants to push. Wow. And of course , thats what wow. And of course, thats what ive been sacked for. For, so we ive been sacked for. For, so we were supposed to talk about gender as much as possible in our tutorials, but only in the way that is consistent with the ideology that the institution has decided to adopt, ideology that the institution has decided to adopt , to adopt. Has decided to adopt, to adopt. And when i said there is also an alternative view , some people do alternative view, some people do believe in gender identity. Other people dont believe in gender identity. Some people gender identity. Some people believe in god, other people dont in god. If you dont believe in god. If you talk god, have talk about god, you have to mention that some mention the fact that some people and others people believe in him and others dont. Talk gender dont. If you talk about gender identity, about dont. If you talk about gender iderfact about dont. If you talk about gender iderfact that about dont. If you talk about gender iderfact that some about dont. If you talk about gender iderfact that some people about dont. If you talk about gender iderfactiniat some people about dont. If you talk about gender iderfactin it some people about dont. If you talk about gender iderfactin it and|e people about dont. If you talk about gender iderfactin it and some ple about believe in it and some people dont. Okay. Okay. And wow, its shocking. So its two things. Some things you have to some things youre have to say, some things youre not and the not allowed to say. And by the way, grandfather escaped, not allowed to say. And by the way, shouldather escaped, not allowed to say. And by the way, should sayr escaped, not allowed to say. And by the way, should say as;caped, not allowed to say. And by the way, should say as well. I, which we should say as well. Thats it . Which we should say as well. Tha he it . Which we should say as well. Tha he survived. It . Which we should say as well. Tha he survived. Yesit . He survived. Yes he survived. Yes but its shocking that gone. But its shocking that gone. But its shocking that gone. Yeah. No, was sentenced to yeah. No, he was sentenced to death in absentia , essentially. Death in absentia, essentially. And the gestapo didnt find him before he surrendered, so he survived. But thats why it meant so much to you. I mean, you should. Obviously, its a good thing to be anyway, but thats why be doing anyway, but thats why youre so passionate about it. Perhaps. Theres perhaps. And also, theres a particular pick particular part i wanted to pick up where ask them up on where where you ask them to define their key concepts such as lgbtq and it became apparent minor apparent that some treated minor attraction, so called as part of the diverse sexualities and gender that open gender identities that open University Law now seeks to centre. So minor attraction was centre. So minor attraction was something they were trying to promote, is that right . Promote, is that right . Expressly. Mean , you not expressly. I mean, you get a growing body of literature , academic literature that talks about minor attraction, i. E. Paedophilia , as just another paedophilia, as just another kind of gender, a just another kind of gender, a just another kind of gender, a just another kind of sexuality. And then on the law module where i was teaching, they set students a task that involved a sexual relationship between an adult and a minor and students could gain marks for describing adult and minor as each others boyfriends. But they would have lost marks if they had in any way mentioned that there might be child sexual grooming going on. That the adult might be committing a sexual offence in having a relationship with the minor or anything of that kind. Minor or anything of that kind. So i just asked the question , so i just asked the question, when we want to be inclusive of all sexualities, is that inclusive or exclusive of those who now describe themselves as minor, attracted and managing and just werent able to answer that question . And you ended up being dismissed. And that back in dismissed. And that was back in november. Launched november. And now you launched this of this case with the help of the free union. Where are Free Speech Union. So where are you all this . You at now with all this . Mean, the free speech you at now with all this . Have � nean, the free speech you at now with all this . Have been the free speech you at now with all this . Have been absolutely peech union have been absolutely amazing. I have to say, like amazing. I have to say, like a lot of radical academics have had to turn to the Free Speech Union and well, yes, weve launched the crowdfunder properly a couple of days ago andifs properly a couple of days ago and its happily been going really well over the past two days. People have donated, i think, £35,000, which just shows how much concern there is out there and how much the support is. And of course, im incredibly grateful for its a very important case. So where can people find you them . Im well, if they google my name, ill if you can figure out how to spell that , it will mute how to spell that, it will mute video and they can find your crowdfunding. It will probably come out. It will probably come out. But if they go to grant justice. Com and then look at the employment cases theyll find that they follow the that there or if they follow the free twitter Free Speech Union on twitter they occasionally tweet about my case.

Lets do our second dilemma, then , which comes from dilemma, then, which comes from helen and helen says, im single and live at home, so my friends always think im free to house it when they go on holiday. How do i say to them that i dont want to now this one seems really easy to me. I would just go no possibly lull because go no and possibly lull because i dont care. Ill just say no. But i think maybe i dont know if its sexist to say that women sometimes feel like more social responsibility. What do you think this this think the theme of this this whole far has been whole section so far has been people do things people being asked to do things but being out of the courage but not being out of the courage to say no. Of course you say no. Mean, of course you say no. I mean, why wouldnt you . I mean, the why wouldnt you . I mean, at the very , airbnb beer out. So very least, airbnb beer out. So yeah , yeah, yeah.
