1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Gavin Gray, our UK correspondents with US say, Kevin good 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,559 Speaker 1: evening her happy budget day. Are you looking forward to it? 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not so sure. It's seemed so widely tryed 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: and you know, in the past nobody would say anything 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: about the budget until it was delivered to Parliament. This 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: one's seen so many leeks. I'm not sure anything new 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: will be coming up. Indeed, the Chancellor, the first ever 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: female chancellor and the first Labor Chancellor for fourteen years, 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: Rachel Reeves, was ticked off by the Leader of the 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: Commons for talking to journalists in America about her budget, 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: saying it was a supreme discourtesy to the House and 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 2: she was very very disappointed. Well, what do we expect. 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: I think we expect tax rises now all along, people 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: have been told this will not affect working people was 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 2: what the government was saying. But these tax rises are 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: going to affect somebody. So who and who is not 17 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: a working person is the question, and that has yet 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: really to be answered sig by anyone in the Labor Party. 19 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: I think we're going to see an increase in inheritance tax, 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: that's the tax on amounts left when somebody dies and 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: left to their loved ones. I think a capital gains tax. 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Capital gains is when you make an investment or sell 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: a share, sell a second home, that sort of thing. 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: I think that tax is going to increase, and I 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: think we may see thresholds at which tax is paid 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: kept the same. And of course, because prices and inflation 27 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: is going up, that effectively is a tax increase. But 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: all of these are we don't know, they haven't been confirmed. 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: What we do know is the national minimum wage is 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: to go up, and that is putting a lot of 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: pressure on small businesses who say that they are already 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: really struggling to make ends meet. 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: And so what exactly where is this money going to 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: be primarily. 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: Directed supposedly into a forty four billion pound black hole 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: in the country's finances. Now, the previous government says that 37 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: is just nonsense. We didn't leave a black hole like that. 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: So this is just an excuse for the Labor Party 39 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: to come up with these things in order to hit 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: the rich or people that it deems to be rich, 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: to hit people it deems not to be working class. 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: And as I said, trying to find that and therefore 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: lots of people I think pretty fed up at the 44 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: idea that they are going to be hammered for working hard, 45 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 2: having savings, paying into a pension and now might get 46 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: hammered again by a new party. 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Hey, what are we expecting from this teenager that the 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: one who was accused of murdering the three girls appearing 49 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: in court today. 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be very significant. So you're 51 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: remember back in July, three young girls were killed at 52 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: a Taylor Swift dance themed party in the northwest of England. 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: In Southward the end of July, the eighteen year old 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: who's accused of murdering those three girls was due in 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: court and now it's going to be in court today 56 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: charged with two more offenses, one of them about the 57 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: fact that he was allegedly manufacturing ricin, a biological toxin 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: and very poisonous, and also that he had or had 59 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: in possession of an Islamic state sort of a booklet 60 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: on how to commit atrocities. Those are the new crimes 61 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: that he faces. And plenty of people saying, well, hang 62 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 2: on a minute, this happened in July, the murder. You 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: searched his property in July. We find out right at 64 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: the end of October. Now that actually this is being 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: looked at potentially as a terrorism incident. They've come back 66 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: and said no, no, no, it's not terrorism because we 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: don't know his motive. Well, as you can imagine, there 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: are some in the former party government who was saying, 69 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: hang on a minute, there are serious questions here. Has 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: this government deliberately concealed this terrorism link because of course 71 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: we did have several weeks of rioting after these murders 72 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: took place, with people so concerned about migration in this country. 73 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: Gevin, do we have any idea this console that was 74 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: used to record Abbey Road? Any idea how much is 75 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: this going to go for at auction today? 76 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: Well, it's a very good question. It's a one off, 77 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: that's for sure, and that makes it rather difficult to 78 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: actually put a price on. But this was a console 79 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: that I was used by the Beatles to record Abby Road, 80 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: that wonderful album of Theirs, which of course has been 81 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: in and out of the charts for decades. And the 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: console was given or donated to a school, but the 83 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: school then threw it out and it was only rescued 84 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: from a skip by an absolute Well, I don't want 85 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: to be harsh, but a techno file who absolutely loves 86 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: these things. The project was started for it to be 87 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: referbed to make it work again and indeed, using expertise 88 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: around the UK it is. As for the price, well 89 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: it's got to be several several thousand pounds, but it's 90 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: a very one off thing to try and put a 91 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: price up. 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: Very interesting stuff, Kevin, thank you really pretty to Gavin 93 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: gray are UK correspondent. Interesting defense in our court, speaking 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: of course, interesting defense in our court. Was it today? 95 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: I think it was today. It's about look, if it's 96 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: not today, it was yesterday. It was in the last 97 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: couple of days. About why somebody has committed a crime 98 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: and why rugby is the excuse for it. So this 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: is the case of a former mary All Blacks player, 100 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: Mutawa Parkinson, who bought guns and then on sold these guns, 101 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: brought them from gun City and then on sold them 102 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to an alleged associate of the common Cero's who he 103 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: already knew, and then he pretended to cover his tracks 104 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: a few months later that the guns had all been 105 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: nicked from his house. Because he had a gun license, 106 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: he had a gun safe, so he had to explain 107 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: where the guns were. So he pretended that they'd been nicked, 108 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: and he'd faked a burglary and got paid out for 109 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: it by the insurance company. But then he got busted 110 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: because what he'd said was that how they had nicked 111 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: the guns. They had nicked the guns was that the 112 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: gun safe, which was bolted to the floor, had simply 113 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: been ripped out of the house. But then when he 114 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: looked at the new gun safe that he bought to 115 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: replace that gun safe, they realized, man, it's actually still 116 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: the old gun safe, and there's no indication it had 117 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: been ripped out of the floor at all anyway, So 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: he's been payed for it today and sentence today. His 119 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: lawyer argued that he wasn't making any good decisions around them. 120 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Clearly he wasn't making good decisions, but the reason he 121 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: wasn't making good decisions was because he had played more 122 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: than seven hundred games of rugby and quote, he's taken 123 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 1: quite a few knocks to the head over the years, 124 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: and this is clearly not a person who was thinking 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: about what he's doing. So that's a good one for 126 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: you if like that. Literally, most men and a lot 127 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: of women in this country probably taken a fair few 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: knocks to the head the old rugby games, and if 129 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: you've done enough of those, you could probably excuse them 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: of bad behavior. Sentence today discounts for remorse, amend's previous 131 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: good character guilty plea, and background factors which I assume 132 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: must be the head knocks, And so he received an 133 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: end sentence of nine months on home d here you go, 134 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: good one to have up your sleep if you end 135 00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: up in court. 136 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen live to 137 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: News Talk SETB from four pm weekdays, or follow the 138 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: podcast on iHeartRadio
