1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: Bryan Bridge.

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 2: He's got to the UK in the Brady's with us.

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Good evening, Hey Ryan, good to speak to you.

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: Good to speak to you too. England has the highest

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 2: right issue. We mentioned this earlier in the show. New

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Zealand is worse, but England has the highest rate of

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: bell cancer in Europe.

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, very worrying. Obviously. I saw the New Zealand line

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: as well, Puerto Rico and Chile in there the top four.

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: This is really worrying. So what we're being told here

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: is that out of the forty four thousand new cases

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: of bell cancer every year in England, about twenty four

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: hundred are in people under the edge of It's never

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: been happening before. To go back to the eighties and nineties,

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: it was nowhere near as high. It's rising about three

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: point six percent year on year, and we're being told

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: it is all down to diet and what has changed

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: England in the last twenty five to thirty years. It's

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: got to be the growth of ultra processed food. All

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: these additives and various differ in oils that they're putting

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: in and that they're being allowed to put into our foods,

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and we're consuming and I'd have to say, I would

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: say the diet in England in the last twenty years

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: has probably gone downhill in terms of junk food consumption

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: as well lack of exercise. We have a huge problem

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: here with obesity. But these statistics today are absolutely shocking,

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: very very worrying.

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely they down here as well. Please say they've identified

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: dozens of people of interest as they investigate that post

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: office scandal.

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: So just to refresh listeners to what the post office

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: scandal was years ago. But twenty five years ago, they

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: brought in a new IT system called Horizon, and then

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: people who were running post offices up and down the

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: country and had been for decades without a problem, were

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: suddenly finding at the end of the day they couldn't

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: balance the books on this new computer system. And some

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: people were down maybe one thousand dollars a day, some

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: were down five thousand dollars a day, and this was

40
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: happening every day, and the post office management, rather than

41
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 1: admit that there was a fault with this IT system,

42
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: which had been put in by Fujitsu, they prosecuted their

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: own people. Some people went to prison, some people took

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: their own lives, people had their life savings taken from them.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: People's lives were ruined by the management of the post office. Now,

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: this I covered for years and nobody was interested. You

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: go to court cases, you go to hearings, the media

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: covered it, but the public just it didn't punch through

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: until ITV released this drama earlier this year, about twelve

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: months ago, actually called Mister Bates Versus the Post Office,

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: and everything changed after that. It showed the human suffering

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: off the back of these decisions and really what was

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: a cover up inside the post office. Metropolitan Police have

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: come out now and said they have one hundred detectives

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: on this. They're looking at dozens of people of interest,

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: and they say they will go after them not only

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: in the post Office but also in fujitsu. They've seized

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: documents and I would imagine it's going to be a

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable Christmas for the people who weren't responsible for this.

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds like it. I'm rightly so too. Let's

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: talk about so that there was a Macbeth performance and

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: there was concern over audience behavior during this performance. What

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 2: exactly was going on here?

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this happened last night in the West End.

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: David Tenant, hugely talented actor, absolutely brilliant guy as well.

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: People on and off stage and screen love working with

67
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: this fella. Macbeth and David Tennant was on stage and

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: apparently a male member of the audience had gone to

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: the bathroom, and when he returned from the bathroom as

70
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: the play was going on, he demanded to go to

71
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: his seat, and some of the workers at the theater

72
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: in the stalls said just wait until the interval, please

73
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: just stay where you are. I would imagine alcohol had

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: been consumed. Given the time of the year that it is.

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: This guy kicked off big time, huge commotion in the stalls,

76
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and then the staff asked the actors on stage to

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: go back to their dressing room. So imagine the embarrassment

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: of having an as like David Tennant on stage and

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: him being told to kind of wrap up what he

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: was doing with the Shakespearean pre Christmas play and head

81
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: into the dressing rooms to wait while they deal with

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: this abusive man in the stalls. We're seeing lots and

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: lots of poor behavior in theaters here. There was one

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: famous incident last Christmas in Manchester, the Whitney Houston musical

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: The Bodyguard and some ladies in the audience that had

86
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: a little bit too much prosecco and they were singing

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: along to I Will Always Love You louder than the

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: lady on stage who was being paid to sing it.

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: So it needs addressing.

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: Just watch how much you're consuming, I guess, is the

91
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: moral of the story. If you're going to go to

92
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: the go to a musical, or go to the theater

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: into thank you very much for that. Good to hear
