And if you dont think so, why not . Why isnt it . Its a its going to isnt it . Its a its going to be amazing. Yeah, its and its fair to say, you know, the lionesses if they win the European Championship and the world cup and if they even do it on penalties, i no i couldnt stand that, then theyd have done everything that mens team hasnt. Its under a huge, hasnt. So its under a huge, huge. Okay. So we want to hear from you. Please gb views at gb news. And have you ever taken a selfie in a sunflower field . Obviously we wont want to see it. If its a we dont want to see it if its naked because i dont think we can do that on a friday morning. But no, love morning. But but no, wed love to know whether youve been tempted. And the other big tempted. Yeah. And the other big talking point, i think again today news of this jab. Today is the news of this jab. Oh, yeah, that could defeat if youre defeat alcoholism youre almost defeat alcoholism. Its working trials at the. Its working in trials at the moment in monkeys , its an moment in monkeys, its an injection into the brain , but it injection into the brain, but it apparently stops the hit you get from alcohol and therefore just go to your alcohol without being dangerous by the sound of it. And in 90, 90 of cases, it just got rid of the cravings because the pleasure of taking alcohol was just eradicated from the brains pathways. It could be absolute game changer. Be an absolute game changer. Could be incredible. Yes, it could be incredible. Game could a game changer could make a difference National Game changer could make a differerservice, National Game changer could make a differerservice, toiational game changer could make a differerservice, to everything, health service, to everything, because is one of the because alcohol is one of the leading causes of just about everything wrong our society. Early and a lot society. early early deaths and a lot of this of course, in during this of course, kicks in during the but a huge story. The pandemic. But a huge story. Weve coming up into weve got loads coming up into the show. Its a packed show today. So to top story, shall we . News to our top story, shall we . News dont cash is dont kill Cash Campaign is already results. Already yielding results. Overnight, the treasury has announced plans to assure access to cash facilities guaranteeing cash will go on more than 300,000 people. And thats you. 300,000 people. And thats you. Youve signed our petition to save pound sterling coins and banknotes from extinction and then slow the move to a Cashless Society. Yeah, it was a fantastic day yesterday. Is as good presenters deliver the petition in person to the treasury at number 11 downing street and within a matter of hours they said they were required people and businesses to be known. More businesses to be known. More than three miles away from a cash withdrawal or deposit centre. And they will even give the Financial Conduct Authority powers to fine banks who fail to comply. Comply. They were outside number 11, delivering your petition. Yeah , and i was saying yeah, and i was saying yesterday a lot of people will be very thrilled by the prospect of nigel farage hammering on the door at downing street. Others might be quite chilled by the prospect, but it was a great moment and real prospect of moment and a real prospect of seeing people power progress, seeing people power in progress, holding to account and Holding Power to account and literally over night the government have reacted a fantasy result for gb news and mainly for you, the viewers who signed that petition to thank you. Lets talk to dr. Roger gove, whos a former adviser to the treasury, as well as to the bank of england. He joins us now for a reaction. Its a very good morning to you this is quite something. I mean, i imagine the treasury say we were thinking about this anyway, but we at gb news feel that well, we certainly prompted of the certainly prompted a lot of the action suddenly happened action that suddenly happened overnight. What do you think . Yeah, absolutely. I think oh, yeah, absolutely. I think its fantastic. I want to get the same group of nigel and bev and liam and patrick and dups to come with me to the bank of england and get them to stop raising and even lower Interest Rates because, again, like killing cash, its a very, very stupid idea. So, you know. Well done to gb news and the giant piggy done to gb news and the giant piggy bank. Well meet. Well need to think of something similar to bring to the bank of england. But i think that this should be done for you know, all try to write all of the various idiotic things that this government has done or failed to do. Itsjust government has done or failed to do. Its just its just such a Great Movement to see the five of them there and get your 300,000 signatures. Its brilliant. We need more of this to start putting things right. Yeah. Roger, its been excellent. Of course. Heres the excellent. Of course. Heres the petition that was ostensibly set up to help protect Small Businesses that trade in cash. The elderly who prefer cash and oftentimes feel left behind by technological advances. Technological advances. Smartphones paying to download apps to park their cars. All of these things become barriers and they impact upon the elderly and they impact upon the elderly and the disabled and the most infirm. But do you think its fair to say that the big banks would like to phase out cash . Would like to phase out cash . Its dirty. Its expensive. Its its dirty. Its expensive. Its has to be handled. Is the direction of travel toward cashless. And with that in mind, how important is this victory by gb news . Yeah , i think that the yeah, i think that the direction of travel is certainly towards cashless and that is a good thing really. Towards cashless and that is a good thing really. Digital transactions have gone up from 45 to 85 in the recent past. So you know, people are certainly using cash less, but that doesnt mean you have to get rid of it because, as you say, the elderly, people with disabilities , people in rural disabilities, people in rural areas, all sorts of people, traders that need to carry large amounts, large amounts of cash at the end of the day to the bank of people who want to, as one person pointed out , bank of people who want to, as one person pointed out, a tenner in a birthday card for somebody. We still need cash. So i think that what gb news has done here is really fantastic. And the is really fantastic. And the fact that the treasury and the government have actually listened and done something about it is wonderful. And as i say , we need to and you need to say, we need to and you need to do more of this. And the next thing i want to do is get those five to come with me to the bank of england and tell that that bailey , osiris, that thick bailey, osiris, that thick skinned gentleman, mr bailey, there , who doesnt nobody seems there, who doesnt nobody seems to get through to him. Lets see if we cant all get through to him because Interest Rates have killed the economy and have literally destroyed the lives of millions of britons without doing anything to release to reduce inflation. Rishi is jumping up and down yesterday. Hey were beating inflation. No, youre not real. Real inflation. Core inflation is unchanged at 6. 9. So what i find interesting as well about this is that this isnt gb news sitting down and planning and plotting something. This is people power in its most basic sense , isnt it . Its most basic sense, isnt it . Its literally just about people getting together and signing a petition. Yes, weve enabled petition. Yes, weve enabled that, but thats it. And then you look as well at those pictures of the team outside number 11 and you look at the difference that nigel has difference that nigel farage has made himself just in complaining about the de banking scandal. And thats probably going to grow and grow. It just makes you wonder whether anyone inside number 11 or inside the bank of england actually have a clue as to what ordinary people think. To what ordinary people think. No, i dont think they do. I think theyve proven that over over many years, especially recent years. And its a shame. And because you would think that for two people, the Prime Minister and the chancellor who themselves may very well likely be evicted in the next 18 months from number 10 and 11, theyd be sympathetic with people with mortgages who are going to lose their homes, but they it just doesnt register. So , roger, finally, how so, roger, finally, how important a victory do you think this is for the everyman , the this is for the everyman, the every woman, the small person who who will not sit down and be silenced . Theyve stood up and roared dont kill cash absolutely. Absolutely. Tremendously. Its actually. Tremendously. Its actually. The first time over the last few years we have seen tremendous oppression of the British Public. Oppression of the british pubuc. The oppression of the British Public. The highest taxation , public. The highest taxation, you know, all kinds of ridiculous , stupid things done ridiculous, stupid things done or not done. Five pledges that havent been made , a dismal havent been made, a dismal record , a record by the record, a record by the opposition , where they havent opposition, where they havent even stood up and said theyd do something different, mean our leadership is very , very leadership is very, very disappointing. So for the people to stand up, led by gb news, led by nigel and Liam Halligan and the rest of them standing up and saying, hey, you know, you cannot kill cash. I mean, this is just on
