big questions. but i'm not going to give you my views and all of that because i'm very lucky to be joined by historian broadcaster david starkey. but our real debate is , did the our real debate is, did the king's speech cut the mustard? give me your thoughts. farage at gb news dot uk david starkey good to see you. the last 5 seconds or so of his speech, he talked about his visit to bethlehem, the church of the nativity, and the one sentence that really stood out for me. he said, while christmas is, of course, a christian celebration, the power of light, overcoming darkness is celebrated across the boundaries of faith and belief . i thought that was very belief. i thought that was very , very good. it is in the way that he then flowed effortlessly from the church to the mosque , from the church to the mosque, to the synagogue, to the temple . that was beautiful the way. the speech as a whole was very,

very well written . the king very well written. the king writes his own speeches and he writes his own speeches and he writes them well . and that was writes them well. and that was that was very good . then we get that was very good. then we get to the if . okay. well, let's to the if. okay. well, let's just go back step. the choice of location , which the image i mean location, which the image i mean we've been so used to the queen as a desk , you know, with family as a desk, you know, with family portrait . it's st george's portrait. it's st george's chapel was chosen. this was out of respect to his late mother, i guess. clearly but of course, she occasionally used things like the cavalry barracks and the time of war. so get out of the time of war. so get out of the woods. again, the use of place to echo, which is right thing you do with this. but of course, it does raise a very interesting question, doesn't it? extent to which that was it? the extent to which that was a highly television spectacle. there's an element there that the medium rather took over the message. i i reckon they spent six months choosing that suit tie and point and hand pocket handkerchief . and they perhaps

handkerchief. and they perhaps spent a little less time thinking about the text . so thinking about the text. so i had an uncomfortable feeling watching it that this is really a marks and spencer advertisement . it looked and advertisement. it looked and felt like an up—market default store. i expected to see a kind of strapline which said this isn't just guff. this is right royal. well david starkey never got opinion , is he? now let's got opinion, is he? now let's get to the gulf, because there was a lot of talk here about the pubuc was a lot of talk here about the public sector , about nurses . public sector, about nurses. there were emergency services . there were emergency services. emergency services, yeah. but but the health sector was mentioned specifically as well. and the echoes of boris johnson outside , the steps of number outside, the steps of number ten, the nhs is the envy of the world and we all have to clap. why was he wrong to do that ? he why was he wrong to do that? he was right and wrong again. this is what's so interesting in one sense that this is complete utterly in the spirit of the

queen's christmas broadcast . the queen's christmas broadcast. the emphasis on service . remember, emphasis on service. remember, if you get a declaration, if get an honour, you get it for services to something. so this idea of going one beyond the very danger, though, is you. i identify that notion of going beyond only with the public sector. the public services. and there was a very there was a very alarming juxtapose and wasn't there. our armed services and the emergencies services. well, actually, the armed services are covering for the emergency services , which are on emergency services, which are on strike . and you, again, have strike. and you, again, have really echoes now you have the royal royal college of nursing going on strike. the bulletin that it was founded the receives royal patronage because it illustrates the idea of nursing not just a job but it is a profession, a vocation. and out of the calling. so what we've

got here is at the moment, i think what quite got this political bearings, whether . think what quite got this political bearings, whether. in who needs advice and needs reminding the genuine moment of the crisis . you mentioned 1972. the crisis. you mentioned 1972. i think years is, of course, immediate . the formation of the immediate. the formation of the national government to face the peak of the catastrophe, as you call them maybe the 1960s and the change. what became of the pictures forecast people together and the national government . and i think we're at government. and i think we're at a stage now where the monarchy has really got a possible role a genuine role. we are at a now you know this i know this the station constantly highlights the fact our government doesn't work the nhs for which we either sing hymns in st george's chapel or buying panels doesn't work. we desperately need a of all

party consensus who could better give it what would be a more appropriate mission, not just going back to george the fifth, but going even further to the previous generation to eight of the seventh. he's the man who really funds the london hospitals. he creates the fund. and of course, michael , there's and of course, michael, there's another little awkward question. isn't there? the royal family does not use the nhs. they use the king to the hospital for office . now, wouldn't it be office. now, wouldn't it be sensible to admit that? wouldn't be sensible to admit why they it and to say what we want to do is to merge the best of public and private . we want to introduce private. we want to introduce a broader measure of excellence. we want to introduce a bigger concept of service . i'd like to concept of service. i'd like to have another service to food service . imagine if during the service. imagine if during the lockdown we'd had a national service. we'd have all staff.

yes in the latter , the lad from yes in the latter, the lad from sainsbury's, who turned to me this morning. he up threw out that he did his job. he didn't complain about it. he didn't moan about covid. he didn't go on strike . he moan about covid. he didn't go on strike. he didn't. he may have asked for more pay. i've no idea. but he did his job. yes. i mean , he was eulogising all mean, he was eulogising all pubuc mean, he was eulogising all public services, as you say, at a moment when many are going on strike and that and that perhaps very bright. david, final thought. you the queen. we used to see her more often than not with photographs of various generations of her family , her generations of her family, her she often talked about christmas being a great family time being together and how she lamented lockdown not being with us. i think many of us did or at least those that obey the rules of social life. sure could include myself about but interesting , myself about but interesting, wasn't it? he talked about the prince and princess of visiting wales. no mention. no mention ,

wales. no mention. no mention, harry. no mention of meghan . are harry. no mention of meghan. are they now effectively banished ? i they now effectively banished? i think until there's a reconciliation, which seems infinitely unlikely , the answer infinitely unlikely, the answer is yes. and you know what i think rightly . they have played think rightly. they have played the game of a football game one for two and one for doubt. you can't do it and it was done, as it were, by. it wasn't done by some explicit banishment . it were, by. it wasn't done by some explicit banishment. this is not the treatment . this is is not the treatment. this is not the treatment of the duke duchess of windsor. but we know what it may eventually have to be. yes we've obviously we've had the six part netflix case. we have the biography . we've got we have the biography. we've got this book coming out, spare . but this book coming out, spare. but after that, they've said all they can say shortly. well you underestimate the degree of the capacity to turn a molehill into the himalayan as a tiny speck of grievance becomes is this kind of this kind of vasu vegas of

resentment. it's a it's an extraordinary achievement . it's extraordinary achievement. it's a kind of but it's a really destructive genius. i used to make the joke that harry had met and married his mother. unfortunately, he's married his mother with all the distrust type aspects of diana and none of the constructive ones . it's of the constructive ones. it's horrible, painful parody of that relationship and profoundly damaging . relationship and profoundly damaging. david relationship and profoundly damaging . david starkey. thank damaging. david starkey. thank you. what do you think at home? is david starkey right. you know, to really there and to say that everything about our public services and those that work within is wonderful as so many are going on strike. was that a wise thing for king charles to do? i don't think so. i must say . in a moment, we're going to have a proper debate. a woman was arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. had she broken the law? and why has no other uk

broadcaster even touch this story? we're back with that in 2 minutes time.

welcome back. so thoughts on the king's speech ? phil says the king's speech? phil says the speech was better than i expected , thought there might expected, thought there might have a lecture on the environment and the climate. so promising . i must admit, phil, promising. i must admit, phil, i was waiting for that part of it as and it didn't happen. i'm pleased to say. judi says yes, he cut the mustard . another says he cut the mustard. another says , i thought the king's speech was a load of cobblers too much vti and very little substance. i watched out of habit and that in a way is the point that david

starkey was making when he said it looked a little bit like a marks and spencers christmas advert. and finally alison says, i his speech and look i enjoyed his speech and look you know i think we are all wishing or the vast majority of us we are wishing our new king well but there were of concern of that is no doubt now just before christmas this happened outside an abortion in birmingham. have look have a listen to this package . what do listen to this package. what do you have for today? understanding in this one here from places i know you don't live here, but this is an abortion . something is used . abortion. something is used. keep out of the protest. no were testing. are you praying what you're trying . you're under you're trying. you're under arrest . suspicion of failing to. arrest. suspicion of failing to. comply with public spaces, protection order and search may be common. police have to enforce and of course you again you don't have anything . well

you don't have anything. well the woman in question was isobel vaughan spruce . and isobel is a vaughan spruce. and isobel is a director of the anti—abortion group march for life uk . now, group march for life uk. now, what is really fascinating this story is that tucker carlson of fox news and that is the biggest current program in the united states , america. tucker carlson states, america. tucker carlson did the big issue on this. and of course, we're talking about abortion rights. but more than we're talking about free speech, we're talking about free speech, we're talking about the limits of proto ast. and i mean, whichever way you look at this, isuppose whichever way you look at this, i suppose she wasn't exactly climbing up a gantry the m25 to make a protest. well, i'm very pleased to. say that isobel vaughan spruced joins me down the line from worcestershire this evening isobel. good evening thank you for coming on the program. i'm pleased with the program. i'm pleased with the first uk broadcaster to touch this story . can the first uk broadcaster to touch this story. can i just ask you , do you make this a regular

you, do you make this a regular habit to stand outside abortion clinics ? so i have been praying clinics? so i have been praying outside abortion centres for nearly 20 years. i offer alternate to women that i know well. over 100 women who've accepted help that i've given them so that they can continue their pregnancies. them so that they can continue their pregnancies . and that help their pregnancies. and that help is continued for as long as they need it. but just to make it clear on this particular instance, i wasn't offering help instance, i wasn't offering help in a practical sense. i wasn't talking to anyone. i hadn't spoken out loud . i was simply spoken out loud. i was simply standing by myself with my own thoughts . and it seems that my thoughts. and it seems that my own weren't in accordance with what the police were happy with. and so they arrested me based on my own thoughts . that's what my own thoughts. that's what happened. yes yes. i mean, you know, it's the sort of element that the police officer arresting you for what you would does raise some very, very disturbing . isobel, you were disturbing. isobel, you were arrested. you were taken . you've

arrested. you were taken. you've been charged . you could face been charged. you could face potentially , as i understand it, potentially, as i understand it, given the legislation you could face up to months in prison. is that right ? well, that's the new that right? well, that's the new legislation that's likely to come in. so at the moment, what's happened in birmingham , what's happened in birmingham, they've got a public to space protection order that some people might be familiar with. these were formerly used for things like drunken disorderly behaviour with dog fouling and things like that. and there's now some of them around various abortion around the country and they they don't ban people. that's important to make it clear. it's not like a restraining order that says certain can't go in a certain area . it bans behaviour and. so area. it bans behaviour and. so particularly it bans protesting around abortion centres and okay . yo around abortion centres and okay. yo the law is evolving. we're we're going to dig in to the legal

side of this in just a moment. i'll just ask you terms in terms march for life uk on the issue of abortion itself, are you against the idea against abortion in all? i always think that deserve a better choice and that deserve a better choice and that always is a better choice than abortion . i don't believe than abortion. i don't believe that the ending of intention ending of a child's life is a positive decision on. okay. well, isobel wants bruce. you have an opinion that probably is a minority in this country but you hold it with great passion and i have to say i can't i can't say you did anything frankly on that day over which you should have been arrested. and i thank you forjoining me on the program. well, lois mcclatchey is a lawyer with edf uk . and you are going to be this uk. and you are going to be this case for isobel and. there is this whole question of public space protection orders , not

space protection orders, not that these can be brought in by local authorities , but there is local authorities, but there is a move for much stronger national legislation on this just in terms of specifics of the law . my understanding in the law. my understanding in birmingham that you can be arrested for doing this if you have intention to harass or intimidate. is that right ? so intimidate. is that right? so here are pleased to be supporting this case . i am supporting this case. i am communicating on that case on their behalf and in the of the appealin their behalf and in the of the appeal in birmingham . yeah, it appeal in birmingham. yeah, it was brought in as a move to end harassment towards women and that's something that at isobel herself we all agree that harassment is absolute wrong and should be criminalised and. thank goodness it already is criminal to harass women in any part of life, any part of a pubuc part of life, any part of a public story. of course, harassment is illegal. the people in, birmingham and the spot that has been brought out across five other councils at

this at this moment in time bans harassment, intimidation , but it harassment, intimidation, but it goes much, much further. so it says that you can't approve or disapprove or express approval or disapproval of abortion within the zone, that it's marked out of about 150 metres around the clinic. marked out of about 150 metres around the clinic . they say that around the clinic. they say that prayer is a part of that. now, isobel , all prayer is a part of that. now, isobel, all was praying. let's just come back to that. so. so. two to pray out loud . it would two to pray out loud. it would be in contravention of that by law. yeah it says that the prayer would be seen as a move of approval or disapproval. prayer would be seen as a move of approval or disapproval . now, of approval or disapproval. now, whether this pspo itself is lawful under international human law, which protects freedom of religion, freedom of thought, conscience and belief and freedom of speech , is another freedom of speech, is another really important question for this case. it's not my position thatis this case. it's not my position that is about even necessarily broke the video because she was praying on the inside her head. she wasn't expressing anything on the outside. even if she on the outside. but even if she had is the lawful in itself if

it's going so far to say that a citizen cannot so this debate, is this going to be a test case? it's going to be an interesting case for people. legislation but also for a law that the government is pushing through right now. clause nine of the pubuc right now. clause nine of the public order bill would roll out these censorship across abortion clinics, across the uk and it would ban even expression of opinion occupying , advising, opinion occupying, advising, persuading , opinion occupying, advising, persuading, informing all of these things would be criminal activities on the public street. it's a very un—british, undemocratic to say that you can't express opinion, matter how peacefully , how kindly how peacefully, how kindly you're doing it. similarly you've crossed the threshold from banning how you say something to banning what you say. this is a content based , say. this is a content based, viewpoint based discrimination law. yes. i mean, i assume that pubuc law. yes. i mean, i assume that public space protection order will not apply the m25 . well, will not apply the m25. well, this measure, this this law that's being pushed through the parliament is set up to be

tackling the environmental protesters who are a little bit more headlines in recent years. but unfortunately , only pro—life but unfortunately, only pro—life volunteers, who mainly offer charitable help for prayer outside clinics are being swept up . right. okay. so the idea is up. right. okay. so the idea is that actually this will target, i mean, the bridge is behind us here that have been blocked. this is the laws coming in. so how of abortion clinics become part of this? well, it's a huge question. the government consider putting in essentially that jones for a while to go to and they did an investigation in 2018, a report to see if they were necessary, if there was really harassment and very disruptive protests going on outside abortion clinics in 2018. they found that that was not the case, that harassment was very rare, already criminalised and already prosecutable. but the main activities that they found to be there were offering charitable help services to women who like to avoid abortion if they had financial support, practical support , other options. so it's support, other options. so it's a pro—choice measure, you might

say, to offer women other opfions say, to offer women other options of support. say, to offer women other options of support . and there options of support. and there was also a great deal of prayer . most people were praying outside of facilities. so these two activities offering help and prayer are good, peaceful , prayer are good, peaceful, unlawful activities . but this unlawful activities. but this new law and the views that have been rolled out in five counties already have hindered those lawful activities. okay. we're going to follow this case with great interest. thank you. thank you very much for coming on and explaining that. so there we are, big national legislation coming before parliament at some point in 2023, but it seems to be rather more all encompassing than perhaps was first intended. or maybe i've got that wrong, by the way, i'm not a pro—life campaigner. i do believe in. but ihave campaigner. i do believe in. but i have to say, i thought the police going out of their way to arrest isabel in that way was a wholly honest sary act . in wholly honest sary act. in a moment, we'll talk about the damage. jeremy hunt is doing to britain's creativity prosperity and what the impact of that is

going to be on middle class income families .

well was christmas day, but what the farage that doesn't stop the migrant boats from crossing the engush migrant boats from crossing the english channel. oh no. there was a bit of a window there. the weather and 90 people came in and were through dover and manchester on christmas day. that brings our grand total for 2020 to up to 46,000. now, absolute lutely guarantee you that we're not going to get anywhere the 50,000 this year because the weather forecast the next few days is horrendous . next few days is horrendous. winds of up to 50 and 60 miles an hour in the english, but it's still it's still 46,000, up from

28,000 last year . the situation 28,000 last year. the situation is completely of control. and just to remind ourselves, the big change that came this year was the numbers that have come from albania, somewhere between 12 and 15,000 fit bodied, able bodied young men from albania have come over the course of this year. it is completely out of control. we keep hearing , oh, of control. we keep hearing, oh, it doesn't matter which home secretary is, doesn't matter which prime minister it is. we keep hearing dealing with this is an absolute urgent priority . is an absolute urgent priority. backbench members of parliament warn that it's not dealt with. they're going to lose the next election and a big way. and i have to tell you, there is no single proposal that i've yet seen from this government that will make any difference. what so ever? what are those who's warned very about it is lee anderson , the conservative anderson, the conservative member of parliament, the former

miner for ashfield , and he's miner for ashfield, and he's been voted by common home. you know the big site for tory members, activists voted him back bencher of the year and he's won by country mile i have to say. lee anderson thoroughly well deserve a member of parliament in touch with real people that can speak to real people that can speak to real people . unlike our prime people. unlike our prime minister who at a soup kitchen the other asked a chap who'd come for what business. he worked and he said, i'm homeless, guv . i worked and he said, i'm homeless, guv. i mean, worked and he said, i'm homeless, guv . i mean, they homeless, guv. i mean, they haven't got a clue and nor i haven't got a clue and nor i have to say , has the chancellor have to say, has the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt , a of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, a report out in the last few days by the think tank cbi . their by the think tank cbi. their estimate is that a middle earning couple in this country will pay an extra, you know . will pay an extra, you know. it's hard to believe, but up to £10,000 more tax over the course of the next. so families are

being absolutely fleeced and we're making our country the least competitive in the whole of europe. it's unbelievable . of europe. it's unbelievable. people are going to portugal. they're going to italy, they're leaving this country. we are making this country literally unkempt repetitive, a place that people won't invest in. they've just got this hopelessly, utterly in every way. so more thoughts to the king's speech and lots and lots of reaction coming in. nicole says good speech. coming in. nicole says good speech . i thought no woke speech. i thought no woke comments , which was also good . comments, which was also good. you're right, nicole. no woke comments, but outright praise for sectors that are going on strike . and that's perhaps strike. and that's perhaps wasn't very wise. another says it was just average . nothing it was just average. nothing compared to our late queen. but who the world could follow it. you're absolutely right. but david starkey made a very interesting point. he said in the early years of fifties, the

queen often didn't get it right. she got better and better as time went on, david says it was good. his first one, and he gave it much needed positive parity. and finally says could be better, but it could have been worse . well, look, i thought the worse. well, look, i thought the bits about bethlehem , the bits bits about bethlehem, the bits about religion , all of that, he about religion, all of that, he really did get right. but let me tell you something else that isn't going right. we've been talking over the last couple of weeks about cost of fuel . i've weeks about cost of fuel. i've mentioned also these lockdowns that are being proposed in canterbury in. it is quite astonishing what is actually going on are going to be joined on talking points by richard towle. he's a former london politician . he's worked for many politician. he's worked for many years in the transport sector. i'm going to be talking 20 mile an hour zones. the ulez extension. what happening in those cities and what this war

against motorist is really about? all of that i'm talking points in a couple of minutes .

it's that time of the day. it's talking points. i'm joined by richard . richard, welcome to the richard. richard, welcome to the program. thank you. and happy yeah program. thank you. and happy year. yeah, yeah. it's coming soon. richard, you've done stints as a naval officer. you've worked in traffic and transport for many, many years and got a great deal of expertise on it. but first, heading to see that you were member of the old g.l. see the greater london council? yes. now this is something that mrs. thatcher absolutely hated . did thatcher absolutely hated. did you hate the glc or was it

catalytic that what she saw was the loony left? she hated to glc and be the treasurer hated the glc . for the simple reason that glc. for the simple reason that the greater london authority she act as it was at the time , had act as it was at the time, had its own revenue powers and could raise its own money in the house of commons without . it being of commons without. it being opposed . and so there was opposed. and so there was a power that struggle between the treasury and the glc . one which treasury and the glc. one which colleagues of mine when left and i worked to take advantage of and we got the glc abolished and with the london residuary body, i'm fortunate , ali, tony blair i'm fortunate, ali, tony blair put back the greater london authority , which has been a but authority, which has been a but i didn't. london given the sheer size and importance it needs some form of co—operation across the whole of the capital. you would have thought, but the change between one no election .

change between one no election. and the next meant that there was a difference. always in political power. yeah political party between the national government. the regional government. the regional government of the of the glc or now the greater london authority and the local councils . and so and the local councils. and so they were always at war, each other a bit like devolution that they still are today. well, the problem with david, there's no proper devolution because we won. but others will disagree with you. are we better off or worse off with a greater london assembly, a mad than we were in the days of anglesey and say camden was. at the moment we have a straight edge awkward situation called representation which allows members of the liberal democrat party a green party and even in previous administrations as fascists , the administrations as fascists, the national party to gain a voice

and they shouldn't have done so. yes they did, too. two national party members? no that's not true. two ukip members did well. two ukip members, which is a bit different to that. but i mean, look, pr aside, pr aside, you just can't have more power. the livingston did or less con has more power simply because he's chairman of for transport london and he uses transport london as the arm of creating revenue and putting statutes on the book, which means the low emission zone which which was in central london together with the three charge zone. yeah quite correctly because it was still in the centre of london, but to have expanded it to the north and south circular roads was a revenue generator and now he's expanding it again to the to the greater london boundary. expanding it again to the to the greater london boundary . and greater london boundary. and this is absolutely daft . it

this is absolutely daft. it bears no relation to any health related requirements whatsoever . go on. the imperial college's website. you can check what air pollution you're not general. you're not getting by in your own postcode . it'll come up own postcode. it'll come up always at green. yeah. i mean, i live on the north downs, right on the edge , you know. and on the edge, you know. and someone said to me in the pub other day, she said to go and get my newspapers. it's going cost me get my newspapers. it's going cost m e £12.50 a day just to get cost me £12.50 a day just to get to the local shops. to to the local shops. going to cos t £12.50. i'm struck that the cost £12.50. i'm struck that the air quality , as you say, and air quality, as you say, and also london isn't a at all. it's no problem whatsoever. and people this is really affecting richard , are those with older richard, are those with older cars without the money to buy new cars. exactly right. is there anything because i saw a letter in the times in the last two days from some health professionals saying the extension of ulez was absolutely the right thing do because

london had so many respiratory problems . i london had so many respiratory problems. i don't buy that argument at all. i did see the former chancellor kwasi . he's former chancellor kwasi. he's got a constituency again right on the edge of the greater london area making some noise. is there anything that can be to stop this year's extension? well certainly, but it's going to take a judicial review . and that take a judicial review. and that judicial review is going to cost upwards of thousand pounds to be able to put forward . the mayor able to put forward. the mayor has issued consultation paper. he said that it's going to be a true and yet the consultation result did turn in his favour. so he's quietly dropped it and it doesn't it doesn't refer to it doesn't it doesn't refer to it anymore . we believe on the on it anymore. we believe on the on the newsletter that i publish, we believe it's a statutory consultation . so that's one consultation. so that's one particular aspect that we can

put forward. second, there are now powers five of whom i can can name those eight powers which are all going to be pursuing a policy of non—cooperation . and that's not non—cooperation. and that's not allowing the light cameras to be erected on. is that right on. their powers and on on planning on planning the grounds simply because know full well that difficulties in commuting as you say an older person wanting to get to get to a hospital . we've get to get to a hospital. we've also been pursuing the possibility of older being converted to low pressure gas a biodegradable carbon , zero fuel biodegradable carbon, zero fuel and the one look at that he won't look at that because this is a money making to finance mad schemes transport for london.

but richard we've talked about the mayor's powers right who holds them. i mean can the great holds them. i mean can the great hold him accountable or not really. the jla can hold him accountable. in fact terms grant shapps a lot . but when transport shapps a lot. but when transport secretary . with his grant secretary. with his grant settlement to pay transport for london stopped him using the money for the of ulez to the greater london boundary. money for the of ulez to the greater london boundary . and greater london boundary. and that was a condition of the grant payment . it's called the grant payment. it's called the paragraph 22 in grant shapps his letter . unfortunately there are letter. unfortunately there are at the moment two green members sorry street members and two liberal liberal democrats who will vote or is expected to vote with . the labour party members with. the labour party members on the jla and they want a two

thirds majority and they can just vote the extra funds , £250 just vote the extra funds, £250 million for the extra cameras and back office equipment. i must say this is very interesting. the fact there are boroughs now who are looking to become quite non—compliant on. this is perhaps the beginning of a real campaign here, at least i hopeit a real campaign here, at least i hope it is by way, if you're sitting at home thinking this is just london, doesn't affect just london, this doesn't affect me at all. well, i was i mean, you could not be down with a feather when i saw the proposals in canterbury and the proposals for oxford and goodness knows where else this war against the car goes. but basically these are almost like lockdowns within cities . so you can't leave cities. so you can't leave a certain part of a city. was the big picture here is this all about climate change is old the belief the car is evil the there is a belief there not being perpetual issued by the climate lobby who are very well financed

and take great salaries from promoting . the evils of climate . cha promoting. the evils of climate. cha population. local local authorities and the mayor of london and the greater london assembly has swallowed these fibs . hook, hook, hook, line , fibs. hook, hook, hook, line, sinker. and because of that they are being promoted in a way which is becoming now quite fascistic , you limit well, i've fascistic, you limit well, i've just looking at the as we speak , i'm just looking at the embankment and there are very few cars on, but they are crawling along because the embankment has. crawling along because the embankment has . a 20 bit speed embankment has. a 20 bit speed cameras all the way down. and i don't mind a 20 mile an hour limit outside a school for an hourin limit outside a school for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. but i mean, this all this madness does actually

is slows . down and create even is slows. down and create even more pollution jobs, correct? absolutely right. it's a revenue generating exercise. this and low traffic neighbourhood schemes that they're now producing place streets they are now producing hospital streets where the filth of the motorist exhaust is not allowed to a hospital . a and it's backed by hospital. a and it's backed by most fatuous claims such as if we do not have you, us to the greater london boundary , 4000 greater london boundary, 4000 lives will be prematurely lost. turkle nonsense, absolute nonsense . ulez actually is nonsense. ulez actually is coming to the whole country that's the point i'm making. manchester you have similar proposals on a happier note, not a happy and richer town. you're member, a supporter of vulcan trust. now i, i, you know, as a kid remember airshows and seeing vulcan bomber and i turned up

with optimism at goodwood a few ago being told that the vulcan would fly and it didn't was situation with the vulcan bomber now. well, i suppose eight, seven, six, five, five which was one of the squadrons which went down through the falklands and one of the squadrons bombs out of the number that dropped, took out the runway at, at port stanley airport . yeah. having stanley airport. yeah. having done so that did the logistic support that general gasperini in order to continue invasion of the falklands they ran out of supplies. we ran over them and the white was run up over , over the white was run up over, over port stanley. now xm 655 is in engine running worthiness condition . it runs twice a year condition. it runs twice a year wells field airport just south of coventry and it is ready to fly and they it it be ready to

fly and they it it be ready to fly now . unfortunately the civil fly now. unfortunately the civil aviation authority won't do that because of the accident that happened at shoreham airport with the hawk hunter that came down five, five years ago. and they've tightened up the rules. however if the enthusiasts are allowed their way, we would like to do a goodwill visit to kyiv and perhaps show off . the 1962 and perhaps show off. the 1962 nuclear power that we had then in cold war, which taught russians a thing or two and kept them away from our show. whether kiev's the right decision or not, one thing for certain, it's an extraordinary aircraft, and that mission flying from ascension island to the falklands to bomb with, i think for refuelling on the way there. and that was one of the most amazing feats in the whole of rf history . it's kind of been history. it's kind of been forgotten a bit, isn't it? i'm afraid they have . there are

afraid they have. there are several falklands war memorial services taken around year and we should remember that the price of that we now enjoy me sitting here , here talking, sitting here, here talking, talking to you is eternal vigilance . i'm afraid it is. vigilance. i'm afraid it is. richard towle, thank very much indeed. no good news there from richard towle on talking points. the war against the motorists is absolutely in full . london is absolutely in full. london is the testbed for what is coming to all the rest of you thank you. ok seconds left with you let's go to barrage the barrage. one viewer asks, oh, here we all stay with. me, richard, will stay with. me, richard, will stay calm , be re—elected, is the stay calm, be re—elected, is the question. i'm he has been nominated by london labour london labour a very unhappy with this with his her record on

knife crime particularly he failed on knife crime and not only that but he actually undermined the cressida dick the commissioner and that has been proved now and unfortunately we have now got a new commissioner who is not so who is more pliant. yeah i think that may well be right. laura asks . pliant. yeah i think that may well be right. laura asks. is that tie you're wearing a present? yes, it is . it's ben. present? yes, it is. it's ben. thank you very much indeed for the tie i got to here is the thing is i wear a different tie every single day on this. i'm not trying to compete with. jon snow, formerly of channel 4 news, but because of that, people buy me ties. but a huge of ties. so, yes , is the aussie of ties. so, yes, is the aussie i rather like it. what do you think, faraci b news dot uk. let me know your views right . could
