And jk rowling has hit back tonight for being reported under scotlands new hate crime laws, after Police Scotland said this afternoon her social media posts on the importance of biological sex would not be treated as criminal. The harry potter author posted on x saying i hope every woman in scotland who wishes to speak up for the reality and importance of biological sex will be reassured by this announcement and i trust that all women, irrespective of profile or financial means, will be treated equally under the law.

Rest assured, the union flag will feature proudly on the team kit for paris, as it always does. This image doesnt replace the union flag, which we will wear with pride later this summer. Okay, fine, but why are summer. Okay, fine, but why are they trying to flog this tat to they trying to flog this tat to the British Public . Arent we allowed to wear the union flag with pride as well . Well, the answer is because the woke brigade, have respect for brigade, who have no respect for history or tradition, are being put in charge. Branding and Design Agency called this away are responsible for the team gb relaunch. So heres how they announced it. We needed to find announced it. We needed to find announced it. We needed to find a way of refreshing the team gb colour palette in a way that is both flexible and ownable. No both flexible and ownable. No you didnt, but they go on. The result is a vibrant and varied colour palette that has the versatility to be restrained , versatility to be restrained, toned and traditional in one breath and bold and contemporary in the next. What a load of guff and dont take my word for it. Gb news went to hull to get some consumer feedback. It disgrace why not leave it as it is . Its, you know, our traditional flag. Why mess with it like the england football shirt . Just leave it alone. Its that is the proper flag for our country. And thats what should be up. And thats what should be up. Well, i think its a bit weird. Theyre changing it. Its the flags, the flag, isnt it . Its been there centuries, isnt it . Keep it the same. Yeah, exactly. Now im now going bring in a british going to bring in a british sporting legend. It was absolutely livid at this. Welcome to the show. Former goalkeeper of englands goalkeeper and one of englands best is peter best ever players is Peter Shilton. Peter, thank you very, very much. How do you feel about the desecration of the union flag . Oh, i think were just flag . Oh, i think were just going to have to just double check on peters audio there for one second. But look, im going to bring in my panel now and then well get peter back. Lets get the thoughts of them, shall we . As gb news contributor, nana akua for akua conservative mp for romford, rosindell and romford, Andrew Rosindell and trade unionist andy macdonald. Just while we work on peter there, i think what ill do is ill come to my panel. Nana how do you feel about the needless desecration of our union flag . Well, it looks like if youve ever been to one of those shops, like tire rack, it looks like theyve just put a load of tires, of cross them over. Tires, sort of cross them over. And actually this is a and i actually think this is a mission creek. I think this is a mission creek. I think this is a mission creep. And the objective of is its edi, i think of it is its more edi, i think some sort of esg type scores, because if look at the because if you look at the colours, they are pinks and theyre purples. I think theyre trying of infiltrate the trying to sort of infiltrate the whole inclusion whole diversity and inclusion within accept within this so that we accept that are changing. That these things are changing. But bottom line is the flag but the bottom line is the flag is flag. And the reason why a is a flag. And the reason why a flag is flag represents something is because its colours. Because those are its colours. So white cross with red so a white cross with red background is denmark. And the other was it norway . Other way around was it norway . No, its denmark and the other way is england right. So way round is england right. So the actual thing about a flag, a flag is about colours. The actual thing about a flag, a flag is about colours. So if you flag is about colours. So if you start tampering with it, then it becomes something else. Well, im informed im reliably informed that we now have england footballing now do have england footballing legend, Peter Shilton. Second time lucky peter. Thank you very much. How thank you very, very much. How do feel about the do you feel about the desecration the union flag, desecration of the union flag, i just cant believe it. We just just cant believe it. We just seem to be changing things for the sake of it. And, you know, its a sacred flag. Its part of the country. Our history and, you know, it. You know, it. Oh, well, obviously, having a couple of technical issues there , unfortunately, when it comes to Peter Shilton, andrew, i will just ask you. I mean, youre obviously a patriotic individual. How do you feel about it all . Im appalled by it. I think its outrageous that these people can change our flag without anyone agreeing to it, thinking that its somehow smart. Well its not smart. It actually offends a lot of people. People fought and died for this country under that flag. And its not for any National Institution to decide to muck it up with all kinds of squiggles and dots and strange colours, the union flag or the union jack. Both terms are correct. Thats the flag of our nation , thats the flag of our nation, and it shouldnt be tampered with by the woke brigade. Okay . I mean, whats your okay . I mean, whats your view on this as a, as a as a trade unionist lefty . Do you choose it as a trade unionist. Left it. Well, i mean, i dont really see whats woke about pink and purple. Well, you know, well, when the know, well, when you mix the colours red white you get colours red and white you get pink. You mix the colours pink. When you mix the colours red and blue, you get purple. Its not some kind of woke eddy thing you were suggesting. Thing like you were suggesting. Its youre its just i think people youre wrong. People mixing wrong. Its just people mixing colours. About pink colours. Whats woke about pink and purple. Whats about pink and purple . What is woke about . What is woke about . Pink and purple. Part of the rainbow thats rainbow flag, isnt it . Thats the whole idea. So the they want. They said that the reason why theyve it is because they theyve done it is because they want empower people to want it to empower people to tell a diverse range stories. Tell a diverse range of stories. Red, red and blue. Red red, red, red and blue. Red and blue are part of the rainbow flag well. No. But so flag as well. No, no. But but so whats whats your point there . Because. Because and because. Because pink and purple are part of the union jack. But you can point, right . But you can point, right . A and its about a flag. And so every represents every colour represents something countries. Kick off in 2012 when did you kick off in 2012 when they put grey the olympic uniforms . If i what was it. Did you were making a flag were they making a flag with grey. Yes. Well then wouldnt grey. Yes. Well then i wouldnt have liked that. So you kick off then . So did you kick off then . So did you kick off then . Nobody asked me. Well, nobody asked me. Well, nobody asked me. I think British Airways well, nobody asked me. I thad British Airways well, nobody asked me. I thad br reverse ways well, nobody asked me. I thad br reverse their really had to reverse their decisions when they decided to get union flag from get rid of the union flag from the of the aeroplanes. That the tail of the aeroplanes. That was embarrassing them. Any was embarrassing for them. Any National Institution should be flying i think. Flying the actual flag, i think. I believe that an i dont believe that an organisation represents i dont believe that an organisoron represents i dont believe that an organisor england epresents i dont believe that an organisor england nationally britain or england nationally has the right to somehow come up with a new design thats really not acceptable, especially if its a business as well. So was it adidas just coming up with . Oh, well, do the up with . Oh, well, well do the design here. Right. Some of these people got to it these people got to do it proving know that proving it. And we know that these people are part of that whole know. Whole esg. How do you know. Know they are how how do you know they are how what of esg and what part of the esg and Diversity Inclusion they diversity and inclusion they are . How you know that are . How do you know that theyre is edi. Theyre part what is the edi. You know, whats inclusion. You know, whats that inclusion. But you said . But what is what you said . Theyre part of it. The point. Scoring for esg is the point. Scoring for different the different businesses. So the more more more diverse they are, the more points they get. And diverse and whats diverse about putting a bit of pink and purple on flag . Well, is diverse on a flag . Well, what is diverse about that . Colours, the rainbow colours, they are part the rainbow colours, they are parwell, gb news news weve well, gb news gb news weve got colours the got the rainbow colours on the gb logo, you know, gb news gb news logo, you know, gb news logo, okay.

And, you know, the playing for the flag was, was everything, you know, and i think this day and age, its not just a few colours. Its the way lifes going. I think theres a lot of people who want to change this country and the way it is. This country and the way it is. And, you know, i think this is just one of the things that changing our National Flag is, is, is one of those things. And i certainly feel that, you know, its a fantastic country. Its its a fantastic country. Its very diverse, but theres still people who want to change our history and want to change what our country represents. Really. Our country represents. Really. I mean, do you think that there is , you know, a determined there is, you know, a determined attempt here by certain people to, like, do away with anything thats british about it . Do you think because they would say its just a playful update on on things . Hopefully we can actually flag at some actually see this flag at some point well . Actually see this flag at some poiiyeah,nell . Actually see this flag at some poiiyeah, yeah. I mean, i do yeah, yeah. I mean, i do think that, know, people , think that, you know, people, you know, in this country, the genuine sort of, you know, british people, i think theyre very proud of, our traditions and our flag and everything else. But i do think theres an element that of trying to undermine , you know, the way our undermine, you know, the way our country is. And, you know, and i just feel that theyre looking for anything. I mean, theyre for anything. I mean, theyre desecrating, you know, statues and pulling down statues. Theres a lot of stuff going on, and i think this is a small part of it, but it is a start of, you know, trying to change, change our National Flag, which i think majority of people in this country would just say, no, no way. You know, weve had it for hundreds of years. And this is this is our flag. Do you think, though , do you do you think, though, do you think, though, peter, that maybe some athletes maybe some of the athletes or maybe when to the saint when it came to the Saint Georges some of the georges flag, some of the football , they should georges flag, some of the footb actually , they should georges flag, some of the footb actually stood ey should georges flag, some of the footb actually stood up should georges flag, some of the footb actually stood up against georges flag, some of the footb i ctually stood up against georges flag, some of the footh knowy stood up against georges flag, some of the footh know thatod up against georges flag, some of the footh know that ri0|p against georges flag, some of the footh know that Rio Ferdinand this . I know that Rio Ferdinand was talking. Said. It never was talking. He said. It never would have happened in day. Would have happened in his day. They stood it. They wouldnt have stood for it. But havent got that now, but we havent got that now, have i dont know have we, i dont i dont know what players are thinking , what the players are thinking, you know . I mean, they just want to out and represent the to go out and represent the country other side of it country and the other side of it is left to the is normally left to the officials. You know. But, yeah, i think at the end of the day, it is it is down to the officials. I mean, obviously players can say, look, im players can can say, look, im not with wearing that not happy with with wearing that shirt or whatever. I mean, look at the germans. They, they just changed it straight away when they had a problem. They thought they had a problem. I know flags i dont know how many flags around the are getting around the world are getting changed, you know, national. Why is it just us . Peter, this is what i want to know. Why is it just us . They obviously think were soft. I think you be well, i think you could be right there. Think we are so right there. I think we are so tolerant everything. Tolerant with everything. You know , with with freedom of know, with with freedom of speech and the values that our country have been brought up on. And i think, you know, weve got a feel well, well pleased about that. You know, our values are fantastic, but sometimes, you know, we maybe let things go a bit too far. And, there is an element of, as i said, you know, i think that, in the country that want to try and, you know, degrade our values, really and, you know, i dont know why that is, but maybe its political. Im not sure. Yeah. Well, look, peter, thank you very , very much. Can thank you very, very much. Can i just ask you just just quickly
