I should explain that nick and i get a taxi home every night and we talk about your nick and i get a taxi home every night anquite talk about your nick and i get a taxi home every night anquite extensively. Our podcast quite extensively. In silence we dont. You sit in silence checking who hates you on twitter. Thats true. Thats true. Well, tonight will be a fun journey right . Lets take journey home, right . Lets take a fridays, a quick look at fridays, fridays, front pages. We have the no the daily mail. There is no forgiveness thing, only forgiveness for this thing, only total annihilation of hamas. Total annihilation of hamas. Well you will soon see well sue you will soon see gaza from the inside telegraph. Gaza from the inside telegraph. Get ready to see gaza from the inside.

There is no forgiveness for this thing, only total annihilation of hamas. You will soon see gaza from the inside. This is the dramatic address as they call it, on the front page by israelis. Israels defence minister. Theres before the internet goes crazy. If you the internet goes crazy. If you look at this, only total of nine annihilation of hamas. This is saying get rid of the terrorist capacity. The tunnels, the terrorists. Thats before you kick off the internet because i know what the internet is like. This is not saying attack all of palestine getting rid of all of genocide and all of the other big words. So thats actually quite balanced when you think what this is. This is a speech on the eve of battle not known for the for the of nuance. The being, the home of nuance. These meant to be stirring these are meant to be stirring addresses than lets take addresses rather than lets take this wider and this whole wider picture and debate which i think is debate it, which i think is interesting add into it. Its interesting to add into it. Its not churchill was like, not like churchill was like, were were going to get were just were going to get the top echelon leave the the top echelon and leave the german citizens alone and whatnot. Didnt necessarily make that distinction time. Distinction at the time. And an interesting and its an interesting distinction to have, and its good that its there because you know the internet is like. Know what the internet is like. But people seem to mix up the category talking category that theyre talking about. Instead of just about. If you instead ofjust talking about hamas, about terrorists, that youre terrorists, to think that youre talking larger of talking about a larger group of people, where the people, thats often where the argument problems. So argument falls into problems. So its worth bringing that its always worth bringing that back well the back to that. Well if the internet to pedantic, internet wanted to be pedantic, they could say theres the hamas government militant government and the militant branch, the Political Branch, theres the Political Branch, theres the Political Branch militant branch and the militant branch. Obviously they mean the but obviously they mean the militant branch. But yeah, theyre the same. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well the same. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well , the same. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well , if the same. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well , if the the same. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well , if the internet me. Militant branch. But yeah, the� well , if the internet uses well, if the internet uses quite a lot. Yeah, they are the quite a lot. Yeah, they are the same. Right. Same. Yeah, right. Literally the same from the from the, from the palestine side. There was someone on pointing that the day. That out the other day. Would that. So im they would say that. So im just im here giving just suppose im here giving balance yeah which is balance but yeah its, which is a we have to balance on a weird do we have to balance on this particular not on hamas though. Got trouble it though. I got in trouble for it the day. I said, why are the other day. I said, why are we why we want anyone in the we why do we want anyone in the country with a hamas flag . And i was told i was some sort of, you know, taking sides and i was told i was some sorthat. ou know, taking sides and i was told i was some sorthat. Iu know, taking sides and i was told i was some sorthat. I dontn, taking sides and i was told i was some sorthat. I dont thinking sides and i was told i was some sorthat. I dont think thats es for that. I dont think thats really sides. Really taking sides. People that want im against people that want to kill us all in the west. You know what i mean . And jewish people and anyone else. Terrorists. So thats not terrorists. Seems like a position you shouldnt have to ask. Its not palestinians yeah, its not palestinians or flag. Its or palestinian flag. Its the hamas specifically. Or palestinian flag. Its the har i as specifically. Or palestinian flag. Its the hari meant. Specifically. I meant. I meant. But no, i mean but that is unfortunately the where were finding at that finding ourselves at is that that that there is that somehow that there is amazing that there a position amazing that there is a position to take on this. You have terrorists who have just committed the most unbelievable barbarity. And dont think barbarity. And i dont think i mean, people obviously at home, they up they cant see the photo up close. But theres a determination there because we cant really understand the scale in terms of the scale of it in terms of the numbers having i tried to do the math before , im not as good as math before, im not as good as it at you, steve, but its the equivalent having 1400 people murdered in that way is about 25,000in the uk. Having 200 people kidnapped , two of its people kidnapped, two of its citizens held would be a couple of thousand. Here theres no way that any sovereign country would allow these terrorists to hold their people , to not go in, to their people, to not go in, to get them back. And that seems to be the thing thats missing from here, is this is part of the mission is to is to save its citizens. Anyway, that wasnt a question there. Im just stating just stating it as just pure propaganda. Also id like to say this photo, its interesting that if if you look down that if you if you look down there, youll see it shows there, youll see that it shows there, youll see that it shows the of israelis. People the mixture of israelis. People try and sort of give it say, oh, israel, oh, its all white colonialism. Well, if you look here, you can see quite clearly its not white colonialism. The majority of israeli jews are of middle east descent. And middle east and descent. And that fair. Middle east and descent. And tha theres fair. Middle east and descent. And tha theres oneair. Middle east and descent. And tha theres one ginger. Yeah theres one ginger. Yeah there one ginger, which would there is one ginger, which would be my if was there. Be my son if he was there. You know, we do. There are a lot of redheads in the old jewish community, but yeah, its good that there. Good that hes there. Hes prince. Hes the hes the prince. Hes the prince harry the bunch. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, lets. Isnt it lets go to on the next one. Whats the guardian going with . So the guardian goes with warning relief convoy for so the guardian goes with warnirtoo relief convoy for so the guardian goes with warnirtoo little,ief convoy for so the guardian goes with warnirtoo little, too onvoy for so the guardian goes with warnirtoo little, too late. Y for so the guardian goes with warnirtoo little, too late. Soir gaza. Too little, too late. So quite a different angle the quite a different angle from the guardian, would expect. Guardian, as one would expect. And theyre saying that the humanitarian help wont be enough too late. Enough and itll be too late. Pretty what it says on the pretty much what it says on the tin. Yeah. And then they have this story. Actually, tin. Yeah. And then they have this killed y. Actually, tin. Yeah. And then they have this killed myictually, tin. Yeah. And then they have this killed my parents, hamas killed my parents, which is very moving story is actually a very moving story in is my family in the subheading is my family want peace, not revenge. So this is someone was a is from someone who was in a small village near the gaza strip their parents, hamas strip and their parents, hamas burned house. Burned down their parents house. They a is it they were hit with a is it called a shoulder rocket. And so absolutely horrific. And he is calling peace off the back calling for peace off the back of rather war. But, of of that rather than war. But, of course, we know from the course, as we know from the other headlines, not other headlines, thats not going it . So going to happen, is it . So well, yeah, no, i mean, its and also, its i want peace. I think everybodys saying wants peace. Question is how is it peace. The question is how is it achieved . Cant have it with achieved . You cant have it with achieved . You cant have it with a terrorist regime coming in and murdering, you know , 1400 of murdering, you know, 1400 of your citizens. So yeah, there has to be some sort of response. And i just also want to say about this particular photo of course, its the guardian. Got horrible theyve got this horrible photo and of course, no one wants civilians be harmed wants any civilians to be harmed in any way. They have this photo up there. Ive noticed from up there. What ive noticed from all photos is that we all the photos is that we covered on those headlines. None of them had picture a of them had a picture of a destroyed i destroyed hospital. Well, i wonder why that is it wonder why that is. Is it because there is no destroyed hostel . I guarantee you if that hostel . I guarantee you if that hostel had been harmed in any way, there would be still photos everywhere. The 500 supposed dead. And then suddenly, because everybody messed up it , everybody messed up on it, suddenly just disappeared. Suddenly its just disappeared. And. Anyway, and it didnt happen. Anyway, thats just again, me, you know, thats just again, me, you know, thats the israeli thats what the israeli government. Yeah. Ive just fed that line. Good so the point that were so this the point that were making into this side story. I was listening to a podcast today and they made a really interesting is interesting point, which is stayed all day. And the stayed with me all day. And the idea of when an innocent life is taken, whether at hands taken, whether its at the hands of terrorist, of a terrible terrorist, deliberately killing this person to terror or to achieve terror or accidentally or because accidentally almost, or because you are in taking on some sort of military action, it will cause the same grief. And thats worth considering. And thats thats this story about. Thats what this story is about. Theidea thats what this story is about. The idea that you could lose a member your family still member of your family but still have ability, the perception have the ability, the perception to take back and to able to take a step back and realise will best realise peace will be the best end because people end game because other people are going to lose relatives in the same way. And you all the same way. And if you all just impassioned that, the same way. And if you all just just passioned that, the same way. And if you all just just going ned that, the same way. And if you all just just going tod that, the same way. And if you all just just going to have. Hat, the same way. And if you all just just going to have the youre just going to have the war side of it. You need people like this to be doing some talking. Yes, absolutely. Youre yes, absolutely. God, youre like thin. E thin. Whats im bald. Thin. Whats the bald. Thin. Whats the whats times whats the whats the times gone then , steve . Gone with then, steve . They have do your bit well, they have do your bit to ease israel crisis sunak urges saudis. But there is a story on the side we can story on the side that we can talk about childhood talk about, about childhood obesity. Fall towards 20 obesity. Rates fall towards 20 year low. Dont get too excited about it really, because is its just that, you know , over the just that, you know, over the last couple of years, kids might have been around not have been sitting around not doing much for a while and doing so much for a while and now theyre doing a bit more. And rates kind of going and the rates are kind of going back that direction. And back in that direction. And which us because which is annoying for us because we moan about kids being we like to moan about kids being fat, only 9 in fat, but its now only 9 in terms obese. If you add in terms of obese. If you add in ovenneight to that, though, its still huge figures, no pun intended 36. 7 of year six children above healthy children were above a healthy weight. We can still mock weight. So we can still mock them that. But its all to them for that. But its all to do with the child do with the National Child measurement and ive Measurement Programme and ive been watching a lot the been watching a lot of the reckoning, so that sounds dodgy, but i dont think is. That but i dont think it is. That does sound pretty. Mean, what do you i mean, nick, what do you think of this . I mean, 9. 2 child, an thats still child, an obese. Thats still seems high. Seems very high. Theyre not quite fat yes, theyre not quite as fat as during covid, still fat. As during covid, but still fat. And so its a good story. And so its a good story. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, its good news, but not the longer term. Not great in the longer term. I mean, theres an interesting line here. The reason disparity is reason for this disparity is clear theyre talking clear that and theyre talking about and on. About the statistics and so on. They eating healthily is they say eating healthily is simply for many simply unaffordable for many families right families across the uk right now. I think eating less now. But i did think eating less is cheaper. I hate to be is still cheaper. I hate to be a big some sort of tory or something, but you know, thats the cheapest option still isnt it . You should run the tory party yeah. Theres a kind of leo kearse kind of line. Im just because not ive kind because hes not here, ive kind of with the stepping in there. Yeah. Yeah. Look, nick, why dont you finish on the daily star, then . Its important to finish on the star. Absolutely. The daily star. Absolutely.
