Should the Chinese tourists win Plank Of The Week?
Try pulling that stunt in China with a UK flag. Your feet would not touch the ground en-route to jail. Over here the cowardly police attack the home boy. Its disgraceful.
I shood broody say so
Resistance is futile! Lol. 🤣🤣
if they were playing chopsticks, yes!
i wish i was there
No muslim should be allowed to run as an MP
Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.
we need citizens who understand democracy.. to represent us in our democratic parliaments.
Not people who are ruled by a cleric's warped view of the world.
That cellist bloke is a prat.
The policewoman was atrocious to the pianist. She should be disciplined.
Don't underestimate how dangerous Starmer is to our freedoms. Even more dangerous through his stupidity.
If he doesn't like Rule Britainia the don't play at the proms.
I'm sick of these people and their hurty feelings get over it and grow a pair
His sister also played at the Proms. A fairly pedestrian performance of Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto but a Martha Argerich she 'ain't'.
Well I and many others refuse to support the RNLI as they are now being seen as a Taxi service for illegal immigrants
100 % support the piano player!!! He should be given an apology!! The Chinese tourists caused a storm in a teacup allegedly
if they didn't want to be filmed why didn't they move away from the camera? Find their real agenda.
Indeed. Borrocks to em, innit?
Confucius, he say, if you don’t want to be on camera, then don’t stand in front of camera duh 😑
Kanneh-Mason is Plank of the Week. Who taught him the cello? A British music College. He bites the hand that feeds him. If he doesn't like Rule Britannia or anything else about this country, he can go and play his cello somewhere else.
And don't let the cello chip the paint on the way out.
They all bite the hand that feeds them. Lenny Henry is another one.
Even though I am an American I am absolutely addicted to this program. I wish we had an american version of this. Fun and extremely informative.
There’s nothing informative about Talk TV!
Americans cannot do this kind of humour! (Think yrself lucky you (think) you can understand it)
Most U S types
can't 😅💜
🙏🏻💜🇬🇧💜
@@CuteCuteCute-02Gutfield is the American version surely.
I Canceled My donation to RNLI because I am not wasting my money on dingy divers then to be put then in a 5 star hotel knowing we have homeless people on the street they should come first my money be going to them
The migrants are not staying in 5 star hotels!
The RNLI has been funding swimming lessons for kids in India and supplying burkinis to Somali women. Didn't realise that National really meant International.
@@urban.uk.officialyes they are.
One thing that makes me furious is people telling little girls how “sexy” she looks. So wrong to even expose that child to the word “sexy”.
We are exposing our children to vocabulary that they are not emotionally ready to handle. Protect the Innocence!
WHAT kind of ppl do you associate with?…..I have daughters aged 12 & 7- and lots of friends with daughters….I have NEVER (EVER) heard ANYONE refer to a girl as “sexy.”
Any adult who did so would be regarded as a possible threat & would be ostracized (Believe me : Word would SPREAD among parents like lightening )….Even saying that to a 16 or 17-year-old girl would be looked upon as VERY creepy.
🙏✊🏼
Totally! Turn heads isn't spelt sexy. I took that advert to mean mum would be really drawn to these articles if only she came to look. I have no idea why we have to look for innuendo and alternative meanings in everything nowadays. I may have grown up naive but I'm awfully glad I grew up then not now.
The Chinese should have been moved on and cautioned by the U.K. police and told the U.K. laws on filming in public! The piano player is 100 % right and the Chinese should apologise for not understanding British laws! They should have just walked away! They have turned it into a hate campaign against a wonderful British piano player ❤️with millions of followers! Around Briton and the world and on social media!
When I see the chinese flag I think of human rights abuses and this video confirms that tradition hasn't ended even in 2024!
You don't know what you're talking about - the blood-soaked Union Jack represents a multitude of human rights abuses; there's one going on right now, watch the nightly news.
Yes. All dictatorships are abusive to the people. Including the WEF
Free Taiwan, Free Hong Kong
It's an exhortation: "Britannia rule the waves", not "Britannia rules the waves". A lot of Britons were enslaved by the Barbary pirates in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Oh! Forgot that, then there was the Ottoman empire. Of course, now known as the Turks; they are guilty of genocide and slavery. Of course; they do seem to forget all of that. I would just like to mention Armenia. That was before Hitler.
Or maybe " Britannia waves the rules "
@@mrtbag2730Yeah right. The problem is that we play by the rules. We need to take the gloves off.
Yeah, and now their ancestors are re-invading the UK.
As a Brit living in Canada ( 28 years now) in the west coast, unfortunately the idiots running this country are to blame, they have restricted us by no news on Facebook ( so glad I can watch talk TV on CZcams) Mike! most of the country is not boring, I think you need to come back.
So many planks, so little time!
You say exactly what we all think. So refreshing and glad to know we are not going out of our mind when others are.
Mike, stop interrupting your guests!
yes, I love the program but his constant interrupting of his guests sends me mad... Mike, they are your guests please treat them as guests.
Wish Mike Graham wouldn’t keep interrupting his guests.
Yes, its really annoying and really rude. Its putting me off watching him. Let the people speak!
Mike's sharp, momentary, bitesize loquacious interruptous makes the hit show & he's good at his 'annoying' interjections. I think most panels like him.
And the second plank is the female transport police person.
New Law : You are not allowed to protest against something that you can’t explain the meaning & history of!
Alex Phillips is a naturally funny woman, she's a belter .
Hunt married to one. Always thought this was a breech of security for UK government!
You're absolutely correct. it is!!
Royal Mail : Many, MANY layers of bureaucracy taking £££ MILLIONS £££ in bonuses! 😳🤯
I remember Postal busses in remote Scotland when back packing around in mid to late 80s.They were brilliant.👍
"Celebrated for being black and a cellist"...Quote of the week about the plank of the month: Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
Postal service is finished, the 1 letter I had delivered this week was folded up inside a pizza leaflet so could have been thrown out.
Iv noticed that happening quite a lot lately... I think they're getting paid to deliver all these flyers - going to get a sign saying "No Junk Mail" 😊
That was a good episode.None of the usual suspects.
Ah! Panda. Nice!
Great show guys as always. Thank you 🥰🥂
The Chinese folks were actually in the station to film a clip for 'The Gala,' which airs on the eve of every Chinese New Year. So they were at the station to film themselves for a national Chinese TV show seen by millions, yet didn't want the Brit to inadvertently film them. Makes no sense, but neither does the way of the Communists.
I suppose this young cellist will not fight for Britain either but doesn't mind what he can get from Britain.
BRILLIANT everyone. Thank you! ❤
I know it's your show Mike, but please interrupt less and let your guest finish a sentence.
“I identify as a Somalian lesbian” what other panel show would you get that on?! 😂
With no legs 😂😂😂
Best show on radio.
Mike, being a Canadian having lived in the UK for the last 50 years, please don't generalise when describing Canada as being boring. Canada is around 40 times the size of the UK and there are many beautiful places and interesting people in Canada! Going to Ottawa isn't going to give you a good overall view of that beautiful country and not all of us are in favour of the WOKE prime minister! This is why they are calling for a replacement for Trudeau.
My dream was to holiday in Canada 🇨🇦 unfortunately it never happened 😔
Visited Canada 2x, it's beautiful country. I know nothing about the ppl there, other than when I was there everyone was very kind and friendly. I can only wish I had the chance of visiting Ottawa. And I don't blame anyone there for wanting the "woke PM" out! Gayle from Athens Ga U S.A.
As a Canadian, I’m sorry but I totally disagree with you about Justin Trudeau! I actually think he’s done a very good job as PM. Seems he’s been cancelled by the media and is now blamed for every single wrong in the country. Canada has done quite well over the last 8 years.
Boring Canadians? Like Keanu Reeves, Ryan Gosling, Jim Carrey, Matthew Perry (RIP), Drake, Justin Bieber, Dwayne Johnson, Michael J Fox, Mike Myers, Pamela Anderson, Dan Aykroyd, Jason Priestley, Seth Rogen…. Brits can be judgemental and wrong. I am a Brit btw.
@@heidimueller1039really? After calling truckers Nazis 😅
All brillant but especially loved the Quick comment about chopsticks.😂
I'm surprised no one included the police witch Kerry of Kings Cross/St. Pancras. She was even worse than the original cranky Chinese group. Or can she be folded into that group.
She was busy shadowing a known Chinese Spy (& didn't want the Piano Man to spoil it)🙏🏻🇬🇧
@@CuteCuteCute-02Kerry just didn’t know the law. That was the worst. Suggesting he’d said something racist too. She hadn’t heard anything of the incident and decided to be their personal security guard.
The unions should not be allowed to organize government services. They encourage laziness. All the working man has is time, and if they are protected by unions, they will do the minimum. They know that working hard and efficiently is not going to get them anything.
Gosh get you
Hello, yes can I have 2 red curries , 2 CCP chilli prawns, 1 Chow mein kampf, 4 Says Me Kung Pow bruised ribs, 2 Pooh Bear Upyacrackers and a large portion of entitled chips on the shoulder.
Just lost control of my bladder thanks to you!!! 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@clairecarlia-jones5979 That'll be a Tenna thanks.. 😂😂😂
Can't believe it is not that flag bearing chap who won the plank!😂
“Head in more ways that one.” Either Alex is has a new partner she’s excited about or really needs a BF. She’s thrown it a few gems and is on fire today here and on the talk.
She has a new boyfriend. 😆
Begum looks like she had never missed a meal in her life.These lipstick socialists have such a hard life😂
I can actually remember two deliveries a day.
And the first one was Before you woke up!!😊
When the postal service began, four or five deliveries each day. Yesterday's emails.
It was kind of exciting getting packages and letters back in the day. I liked it. E-mails - means nowt!
I’m from Bolton and I didn’t realise that I lived near lake Windermere 😂
I do know where these houses are and to be honest they are or were an effing eyesore.
Left UK 45 years ago and have lived in Canada ever since - love it - your panel is ill informed - life in Canada is good - not perfect, but good - maybe change your news feed.😏
Being ill informed is a pre-requisite for being on Talk TV!
Oh come on your government is a joke
@@urban.uk.official
So it would seem!🙁
It's not good at the moment. Trudeau has ruined us. Please do some research not on msm. I pray for better days for our beautiful country. 🇨🇦
Wales has an ad with little girls in school uniforms asking immigrants from around the world to come to Wales.
We, they said will give you a house, education, healthcare, and money.
As little girls were given freely to the immigrants of England, the Welsh government offered the immigrants, who tend to be mainly young men these little girls in short skirts as well?appears so to me.
The refugee council for wales has had to take it down now , when the parents of these children found out there was a lot of back lash .
@@darrenwilliams2921 That is beyond belief! We've ALL been trained to be cautious and aware when using images of children over the last two decades or so. The Refugee Council of Wales would have 💯 been trained in such policies around Child Safety & Protection. Were they diverse, multicultural images of children? As befitting of The Refugee Council's client base. Or white Welsh children? Someone working in PR at The Refugee Council has 'borrowed' an image and f**ked up bigtime.
That is revolting. Wth??!!
Wonderful show….
I was listening to the prat on the cello on desert island discs and instantly switched the radio off .
Love Alex she is always on the money 👍🏼😁
That Cellist played at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance in 2019, he did not refuse to attend as we celebrate and remember the sacrifices made for our Country's freedom.
They're quieter when money's involved. He's a whiner, just lije his buddies Haz and Meg.
All this banging on about rent and house prices in London is doing my head in!
82% if talkTV viewers live outside London. I live in the North and I own a lovely 4 bedroom end terrace house with a garage, a brick built shed and gardens back and front. £187,500. Mortage paid off.
Living in London can't possibly be so good that Londoners will pay what they do despite this fact.
Mike lives at talk tv studio or his car travelling from & to talk studio
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
Mike - National Geographic 😂😂 the panel missed it but i got your reference Mike. Them heavy swingers..
Not that there are government owned cameras in the station on the streets literally on every corner …..
laughable 😂😂😂
Very little is said about white slavery esp children stolen from our streets. 600 from Aberdeen alone.
“Though little acknowledged in history, there was in those days a thriving trade in stolen children and others. Those engaged in kidnapping were called "spirits", and many of those who were spirited away were taken to North America.[2][3] In January 1743, Williamson fell victim to the trade when he was kidnapped while playing on the quay at Aberdeen.[4] His autobiography gives his age as eight at the time. Some of the Aberdeen bailies were suspected of colluding with the traffickers; an estimated 600 children disappeared from the port when the trade was at its height between 1740 and 1746.[1]”
I didn't know anything about that, never heard about it before. Heartbreaking.
Btw best show of the week!!
I thought the postal service had reduced their service to 3 days a week sometime ago, as I don't receive post Friday Saturday and Monday. Chinese tourist complaining here in the UK what ever next.
If the Royal Mail drops any more services and keeps putting up the price they will put themselves out of business.
Maybe someone else should set up a postal service to compete with them
Highly likely since it’s privatised. That’s the problem with privatisation. Organisations following this path have all the morals of a hedge fund.
Really enjoy the show and Talk TV. Talking about subjects honestly like how a lot of us feel about them. Something to push back on the woke intolerance nonsense.
Canada can be perceived as boring. My adult daughter is frustrated with how expensive it’s all gotten here like the rest of us. And like you all are facing over in Britain and around the world. She gets fed up with some things here so she’s wanting to move. I asked “where to, because I’m curious” She’s just figured out looking around and checking out the news and reading a bit more that Canada is pretty great. Free and safe compared to a lot of the craziness in other countries. Not perfect, and we have problems that are growing as well… But all in all? Boring is fine. Boring is GOOD. Ottawa has a lot of sightseeing with museums and government stuff to see it is also a city that has festivals all the time that are quite wonderful. Nightlife? Or for more vibrance go to Toronto. Canada has all kinds of flavours. From rugged remoteness to world class urban living. The landscape changes tremendously from Coast to Coast to Coast. We also have a Birdseye view to the south. Which makes us grateful to be living in Canada. Maybe calm and boring isn’t so bad. Yeah we have snow and cold but how cold and how much snow varies greatly across the country too. Ottawa gets a lot of snow and cold. I believe Ottawa is on the same latitude as Siberia. But we also have very hot summers. Especially in the south around the lakes where it gets very humid too. In the 40s Celius.
I am in Ontario and the Jordan Peterson issue is dismaying to me. Seems to me they want him to follow all the woke rules. I suppose that means even though he feels very differently he’s going to have to call people by their preferred pronouns and all of the rest of it. You gotta be careful making one wrong move, just accidentally saying the wrong thing and you get nailed these days. I was hoping this thinking was changing. And I don’t think the court should be telling him he has to do that.
Trudeau…. I can’t figure out what good he’s done. I’m not really left or right. I’m in the middle. But I got tired of him swanning around a long time ago. He did some things that we are not happy with, and the big thing was the truckers rally. They called a state of emergency and could arrest people. And it was overkill. And this week the court agreed. That might be interesting to cover Mike. Trudeau smiles. It looks nice, but he can be extremely heavy handed. Everyone has rights while it suits him. It was shocking what he did-quietly locking people’s bank accts and being warned by police if they even looked and commented on these trucker’s accounts. He is an example of the velvet stick. And even though I’m moderate with some liberal views, some of the stuff he pushes is a little much for me, and I think a lot of people. But basically I look at him as useless, except for promoting himself with photo shoots. Oh, and if you like marijuana, that is one thing he did do. He legalized it, and the smell of weed is prevalent and we have a lot more high drivers on the roads here. It came out of the shadows and the permissive attitude has meant young people don’t realize there are risks with the stronger weed now.
And I know in the UK, there is a lot of talk, or concerns about the right to die and euthanasia and all of that. And it is a bit different here in Canada. But it is INACCURATELY stated to the UK viewers. Get it right pls! No it’s not a free-for-all for whoever wants euthanasia here in Canada, not by a LONG shot. Pls research before speaking, thank you very much!
🥱
The host is a bit thick and should do proper research of other countries before speaking. Australian here. Cheers.
they are not tourists. they all have lived and living in UK for many years even went to school in UK. after watching many commentaries about this video i noticed that people are saying this group does not know the law or understand the culture, let's accept and be honest here and let's not justify their actions...these group perfectly know the culture and the law, just listen to all the threat the shouty guy said (racist, legal action, security, police, we have rights, image rights, discrimination, educate yourself, etc.). They are using all western sentiments against western people. Genius instead of ignorance. whoever do not understand this tactics are naïve!
My mate has been a postman for 25 years now and he told me it used to be a great job , he used to start his round ar 7am and be finished by 2pm and still get paid till 3pm . Now he finishes about 4pm . I work for an agency for my local council as a hgv class 2 driver loader , i work with 2 loaders and sometimes i get out and help load my self depending on how much waste needs loading . I start at 7am and sometimes finish by 1:30 pm and get paid till 3pm . my postman mate really misses those days .Coming from the private sector i think it's good work if you can get it , iv'e never been able to understand what a lot of these workers moan about .
some people are messed up in their own little world
weekly fix of plankery thanks all
Postman Sat, Postman Sat, Postman Sat wont deliver our tat.

The guy who complains about rule brittania I agree if, and only if, we can ban ALL of Gen Z from everything.
And millenials! 😂
Were the Chinese people playing Chopsticks? So funny😂😂😂 funny😂😂😂 British humour😂😂😂 not Chinese 😂😂😂British🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧funny British humour, not racist😂😂😂
Cello yellow!
Mike.... Please stop interrupting your guests!
Don't Touch Her!
Brendan wasn't filming those awful people, he was filming himself as he and his team have done for years and they decided to walk into his space on purpose to cause international mayhem and angst. Don't wanna be filmed, move away and don't walk into someone else's space ffs.
I recieved a birthday card five weeks after my birthday, it had been posted 4 days before my birthday, it took five weeks and four days to travel 11 miles, I probably would have got it quicker if it had been sent by tortoise post!
Great and common sense comments. 👏🙏👏
Bolton isn't near Windermere
Someone (like all of you) not understand the context of Britain's Never Will Be Slaves, stems in part from a early 19th century judgement that slave ownership is not a part of english law (unless parliaments enacts so) the judgement was that as soon as ANY man (inter alia woman too) breaths British Air they have the same rights and freedoms as all other persons on British soil. It should be sung proud by everyone in the country , including visitors.
Italy should pay reparations to the UK?
Or the Brits to the French-Canadians and Acadiens? It's ridiculous. People need to focus on the here and now...
Bolton Council for the plank. Shocking.
rule britannia , britannia waves the rules.
Our House, in the middle of OUR street, Our House out of place by a thousand feet...
Mike that was the pony express 😂
Why complain about an anti slavery song?
I'm Australian. I'm going to have to check the lyrics now. And share them to my cray cray son. See what kind of rabbit hole he can make of it! French national anthem? Do I have to? Try ours... "Australia's sons" became"Australians all". Plus, "We've wealth for toil". I can hardly stand it!
The Aussie anthem went from ‘young and free’ to ‘one and free’ but there’s no real freedom as the covid debacle showed.
Jordan Peterson still lives in Toronto, Ontario, though he said he may leave if he needs to. The judge in his case actually stated that his governing body HAD s**t on his right to free speech, guaranteed under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (at least, until Trudeau started applying it only to people whom he deems deserving of those rights, while removing them from the rest of us), but he agreed WITH that, so he let the ruling stand. Most judges in Canada are card-carrying Liberals, apparently and that one did not do his job. His job is to apply the law, period, not to apply his personal opinion to it. Anyone with a modecum of common sense agrees with Jordan Peterson. Hopefully, we'll be rid of Trudeau soon and logic will return to our Canadian society. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Market value is market value. The ‘Investor’’ landlords have the right to market value, they don’t need to wear a mask. They are not robbing, it’s their investment, perhaps their pension. People have to move to find cheaper areas. The UK can’t afford to lose anymore private landlords so stopping them getting market value for the investment will lead to more landlords selling up
I think Mike graham should be the plank of the week for not having the balls to interview Tommy robinson.
I would love to see it but I'm pretty sure it's beyond his control.
beware of chi na spy！
They are still at it though!!
It’s a mute argument because Britons have been slaves. White slave trade mean anything? Oh…they were just women so that doesn’t count! Romans in Britain then? That is too historical and long before the song was written.
I was the celloist at Mollie Sugden's wedding.....
Respect!
Lose the o
Did you play Rule Britannia?
Is the Canadian Psychologist board affiliated with the Russian and Chinese re-education programs?
One of the main reasons behind the French invasion and full colonisation of Algeria was Algerians refused to comply with the ban on slavery - they were a main trading post involved with the trafficking of STOLEN western women to the Middle East as "concubines" (sex slaves) - something that had been going on for over SEVEN CENTURIES on a huge scale of mainly Caucasian women taken for consumption by the Middle East (the word Slave originates from Slav) - and that's another key word: "STEALING" (it wasn't initially trade) - Ottoman armies raided Western countries, whole villages of the non-sellable slaughtered - the valuable men, women and children were abducted as slaves, at least the western slave trade was actually a TRADE of manpower coz guess what? Slavery was once normal and EVERYONE did it until a brave little island banned it against the wishes of much of the world - ie western countries largely BOUGHT male slaves off existing centuries-old slave traders. The French decided enough was enough of this illegal female trafficking under their noses and invaded Algeria in a bid to stamp it out. Think of the morals behind the two types of slavery - night and day. The west largely traded MANpower while the east stole and trafficked girls and women to be raped their entire lives.
I’ve not had Saturday post for years.
Wow I didn't know that about art attack can't believe I missed that
I like the newer program format.
Actually, for once Mike should have given it to his own nomination: Sir Keir Gaslight.
What happens when Apsana looses her seat? She’s only on that salary for 3 years. Then she has to run again. They want her to move out of her flat & then go back on the waiting list when she earns
Loose her seat in Tower Hamlets, you are joking right, there's a lot more of her own people living their so no chance of that happening.
Don't forget her yearly expenses income of + £240,000 p/a.
Iv got friends, a couple with 3 children, basically homeless because their last landlord wanted to sell the house they were renting, so now they are camping in a motor home so according to the Council - they are not homeless - yet all our newbuilds are being given to the immigrants when my friends were born & bred & worked in our hometown.. or in our case Humza Useless is bringing in ALL his relatives 🙄
@@mickc7388lose, not loose!
The chopsticks comment!!
Its all about greed and shareholders the two main problems with our country
OFs can be classified as social media technically. Maybe everyone on there should be compelled to do the training.
