So weve had another channel tragedy today. Six more deaths and people are saying that the tories have got blood on their hands and im inclined to agree with them. I mean, its well, its absolutely horrible news and its things that, its one of these things that, you the get lot you know, the tories get a lot of for dealing of criticism for not dealing with the fact that we have these illegal traffickers exploiting people. People are dying on the way oven people are dying on the way over. Hand, over. But on the other hand, when they try implement when they do try and implement some measures, theyre also criticised is criticised as well. So this is true. What do they they cant win. You win. Nicholas, what do you think . I think well, tories have blood on hands. Im not blood on their hands. Im not a big supporter, but to big tory supporter, but to be fair, you know who else has blood on their hands . France for not controlling their coasts departure countries such as turkey or libya, where libya. Libya has turned into a highway towards the west because the uk, france and Obama Administration removed gaddafi. Administration removed gaddafi. There used to be some patrolling between the italians and gaddafi forces, so there are a lot of factors and of course the people traffickers themselves. Exactly. Lets not forget. So theres all factors on lets not forget. So theres all its factors on lets not forget. So theres all its veryictors on lets not forget. So theres all its very easy, on lets not forget. So theres all its very easy, isnt on lets not forget. So theres all its very easy, isnt it,1 here. Its very easy, isnt it, to blame existing to blame the existing government . , you government . And im sure, you know, obviously they are not eager for people to die, but they do have to do something. I mean, this is these are very vulnerable people. Absolutely i mean, its just horrific, isnt people in a flimsy isnt it . 60 people in a flimsy boat going at a. M. Isnt it . 60 people in a flimsy boat going at am. You boat going down at 2 am. You know, always imagine it in the know, i always imagine it in the daylight. The middle daylight. No, its in the middle of night. Itsjust horrific. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. It just keeps happening. And it just keeps happening. Thursday, and it just keeps happening. Thl friday 343. Friday 343. Friday 343. Its just its extraordinary i okay. Well, well see what happens. Were going to come back to variant on this story later on because theres more stories this. But stories relating to this. But were going have a look now were going to have a look now at the sunday telegraph, cressida, cover the cressida, the front cover of the sunday telegraph has a story about seekers. The about Asylum Seekers. The picture of the lionesses whove won some sort of game , and then won some sort of game, and then Kemi Badenoch. Whats this story Kemi Badenoch. Whats this story about . Kemi badenoch whats this about . Women only lose , women only women only lose, women only lose will protect dignity. Lose rule will protect dignity. Thats women only toilets. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. So Kemi Badenoch has come out and said theres going to be a rule where any New Buildings or any retrofitted done up buildings will have to have separate toilets for men and women. And apparently in women. Right. And apparently in a poll, 85 of people are a yougov poll, 85 of people are pro this and 35 think there should be a unisex toilets available and weve got unisex toilets here at gb havent we. Which is which is an adventure every day. I mean i think having to stand in other peoples pee is really character building, isnt it . So thats what i think. So thats what i think. What will do anyway . What will we do anyway . Thats whats going to happen, you bit non isnt this a bit of a non brain we should kemi brain we should say so. Kemi badenoch equalitys minister pushing, is pushing, you know, and this is makes know makes complete sense. You know why this issue of why why cant this issue of gender identity toilets be gender identity and toilets be easily by youve easily resolved by saying youve got biological males got toilets for biological males , toilets biological , toilets for biological females, cute like females, and then a cute like a cubicle style toilet, if youre if you identify as whatever you want to identify. Yes. Why is that a difficult thing to implement . Well, you wouldnt think it implement . Would be, but it turns out its been issue. Been quite the issue. Nicholas in it has. And nicholas in schools well, been schools as well, this has been particularly because particularly a problem because you boys identifying their you have boys identifying their way into girls toilets and particularly at that time of life, thats not a good idea. Exactly. And, you know, even exactly. And, you know, even for myself, i the first time i came across this thing, i was doing a comedy competition at Goldsmiths University campus. And i was the first time i went into a unisex toilet, at least here, maybe because our program is quite late. Usually weve got the entire toilet to ourselves. The entire toilet to ourselves. Yes. Not embarrassing. Other people or getting embarrassed, but yeah, its a tricky time for teenagers as they are, you know, and you dont want, you know, any incidents to happen or people to feel already, you know, god knows how uncomfortable teenagers already know, god knows how unco you table teenagers already know, god knows how unco you dont teenagers already know, god knows how unco you dont have gers already know, god knows how unco you dont have geibe|lready teenagen the number of times you accidentally in and accidentally you walk in and a gentleman out and looks gentleman comes out and looks shocked got it shocked and thinks hes got it wrong. Its fine where wrong. No, no, its fine where you went. Exactly. So italy, i went exactly. So in italy, i went into i accidentally went into the toilets someone the womens toilets and someone came woman came in the came in, a woman came in and the look her face and i look of horror in her face and i suddenly realised what id done and id realised how, and id realised that how, how, how this makes people how awkward this makes people feel. Its much more of a big deal feel. Its much more of a big deal. And ive spoken to feminists who talk about this, that theres someone whos that when theres someone whos obviously biological male, but identifies in identifies as female in a womens women wont womens toilet, most women wont confront that or can confront that person or say, can you leave . They just you please leave . They will just leave right. Leave themselves. Right. And it creates kind of awful creates that kind of awful environment. Think people environment. So i think people just need to think of other people bit when it people a little bit when it comes to this. But like you say, the stats are really clear on this. 87 want separate this. Yougov. 87 want separate toilets and women, and toilets for men and women, and 35 have a unisex 35 say, well, have a unisex toilets for those that want them. Yeah. So thats everybody has brainer which would has a no brainer which would still a burden on some still be a burden on some Smaller Companies with their toilet. Lets not forget that they can just have as long as you can lock you can have unisex. So lock it, you can have unisex. So if had one and had if you just had one and you had a the door. A lock on the door. Okay, okay, so lets move on now the front cover of the now to the front cover of the sunday nicholas, what are sunday times. Nicholas, what are they . They leading with . Well, picked tougher well, ive picked tougher a level grading, vital to halt University Drop out. So the subtitle says almost 30 of students are quitting some degrees. Yeah , i should clarify with yeah, i should clarify with this story. So its to do with the pandemic, of course. So dunng the pandemic, of course. So during the pandemic, a lot of teachers were grading their own pupils , papers and things and pupils, papers and things and that was becoming their a level grades. So obviously the teachers were kind of giving them, know, leaning the them, you know, leaning on the benefit yes so benefit of the doubt. Yes so gillian keegan, whos writing for on sunday, is for the times on sunday, is basically saying kids are going to have to brace themselves because are going because those grades are going to and were talking to plunge. And were talking here, theres going to be, they reckon, fewer star and reckon, 75,000 fewer a star and a grades this year than there were year. And a grades this year than there were year. And that 1 in 5 were last year. And that 1 in 5 teenagers arent going to get their first choice. University so, you know, people to so, you know, people have to understand during understand that during the pandemic, although they pandemic, they although they were out on education, were losing out on education, they easy when it they kind of had it easy when it came grading, didnt they kind of had it easy when it came even grading, didnt they kind of had it easy when it came even before ng, didnt they kind of had it easy when it came even before the didnt they kind of had it easy when it came even before the pandemic , they, even before the pandemic, weve gradual trend they, even before the pandemic, inflation in good, you know, a level trends, which then inflation in good, you know, dont know if its because of inflation in good, you know, parents are more demanding and schools want to deliver. I think its to do with successive governments, like every single successive government wants to say education. So say were great at education. So if they make exams easier and they find that the grades are all going up, they can say, look, all the kids are doing really, really well under our watch, i used watch, you know, because i used to i promise to be a teacher. And i promise you, of the kids who are you, some of the kids who are getting as and bs basically illiterate, mean, basically illiterate, i mean, basically couldnt pick illiterate, i mean, basically coulcpen. Pick illiterate, i mean, basically coulcpen. And pick illiterate, i mean, basically coulcpen. And they pick illiterate, i mean, basically coulcpen. And they were pick illiterate, i mean, basically coulcpen. And they were getting up a pen. And they were getting as english literature. As in english literature. So there as in english literature. So the then theyre going off to university. Mean, i remember first year i mean, i remember first year of university, have of university, you didnt have to you have to to do a lot. Did you have to sort of turn up most of the time and get 40 . So this is this is not good. Think not good. Now, i think raising the standards would a thing. Standards would be a good thing. Not a level not Everyone Needs to a level at a level. Mean, a level. Right. But i mean, weve had years years of weve had years and years of governments we want governments saying we want to get percentage people get the percentage up of people who university. Why . Who go to university. Why . Universities specific who go to university. Why . Univiofities specific who go to university. Why . Uan1 of thing. Specific who go to university. Why . Uanrof thing. Aboutecific kind of thing. Its about academic rigour. Its not suited to everyone those expensive to everyone with those expensive degrees to everyone with those expensive degremean, for them if they i mean, good for them if they are going to. Are quitting or not going to. I mean, dont want to, know, mean, i dont want to, you know, be too on humanities be too hard on humanities because graduate of because im a graduate of humanities some humanities myself, but some of these the kind these degrees and the kind of debt that they they you end up having. Oh, absolutely. I wouldnt do mine again. Now you mine again. Now are you suggesting like suggesting that degrees like media theory media studies and dance theory are worthwhile. Never are not really worthwhile. Never do with studies the do a degree with studies on the end of the name. No thats me to gb no thats it got me to gb news. Theres some value to it. So what about this now . Sunday express, of sunday express, half of the front is devoted to the front page is devoted to the lionesses right. Some good story. Fine. I i football. Some of i mean, i like football. Some of my male friends criticise me for watching the tournament, but you know,. Know, so. But youre quite open minded , arent you, nick . So youll watch, youll watch all all genders when it comes to football. Yeah. I mean all the two genders recognise, but genders that i recognise, but yeah , this is a good story. Yeah, this is a good story. What are they, what have they won some sort game. Won some sort of game. Basically lionesses basically the lionesses i think for the third time in a row, are in semi finals row, they are in the semi finals of the world cup in austria, co hosted by australia and new zealand, of zealand, and they sort of redeemed because redeemed themselves because so far theyve been quite lacklustre. Nigeria , lacklustre. They beat nigeria, eliminating nigeria in the previous one of the previous game, which one of the commentators described as daylight robbery. Had to daylight robbery. You had to feel nigerians today feel for the nigerians today against went against colombia. They went behind and then they a come behind and then they had a come back at and so it was a good match and they kind earned match and they kind of earned their in semi final. Their place in the semi final. So actually watched this . So you actually watched this . This is yeah, i mean, this is because, cressida , because, to be fair, cressida, im as indifferent to male football to. Football as i am to. Oh, yes. Dont watch any oh, yes. I dont watch any of the genders. Oh, yes. I dont watch any of the no, ders. Oh, yes. I dont watch any of the no, im;. Oh, yes. I dont watch any of the no, im very, very narrow.

Be fair, i was here for to be fair, i was here for esther and phil show in esther and phil show early in the morning, had about ten the morning, so i had about ten hours okay so i watched hours to kill. Okay so i watched two shouldnt have that, i shouldnt have said that, nicholas. Believing you nicholas. We were believing you were progressive. And. Were really progressive. And. And dont to and with it, i dont want to alienate conservative fan alienate my conservative fan base. When youre trying to cultivate. Okay, then finally, in about in this section, what about the daily theyve daily star . I mean, theyve really rogue today. Really gone rogue today. Well, aliens will be invited to play chess by boffins, as it will strike up a conversation. Well doesnt that say everything about boffins conversational skills . Yes, exactly. How about skills .
