Clive Lewis is the quintessential example of how diversity hire impacts on selection and why labour is now unelectable.

Completely agree with this weeks choice, definitely the biggest plank this week 👍👍👍

You nailed it this week guys. Excellent.

Best 30 mins of the week.

Kids are innocent until corrupted by adults

Sharon Osbourne said "then educate me!" The Black host later said that THAT statement made her feel threatened...that's why Sharon was fired.....because the Black host was threatened. Btw, the black host is almost twice the size of sharon Osbourne.

I am here in US and I absolutely love listening to Mike. I wait for his videos to be posted. Can we have it more often please?

Hollywood Harry, this week and every week! He's the *PLANK OF THE CENTURY!* 🙄

Bring back Esther Krakue

Kevin O'Sullivan is on fantastic form in this episode. Absolutely brilliant Kevin!

Every time I hear someone say decolonise the curriculum all I hear is stop teaching British history. So like all communist sayings they are wanting to do the exact opposite of what they are saying. You should expect to learn about the nation you are taught in, so France should learn about the French Revolution, Spain should learn about the ass kickings they got from the Royal Navy and I’m sorry Ireland you get to learn about a potato famine.

Like you 3 together! And thank you Mike and Kevin.. love your shows and thank you for keeping me sane xx

My favourite part of the week. And I like the way that Dawn sits there all prepared with her papers spread out diligently whilst Kevin just snarls caustically with a virtually empty desk. Just like school, the girls were always more prepared.

love the panel pure gold

If Clive Lewis does not like living in this Country he’s welcome to leave, he could try Russia, they would welcome him I’m sure.

I tune in every week to these 3 just to remind myself there is some sanity left in this crazy world.

Two-tier policing, I wonder if they raided eli m0sques recently...

Where's the gorgeous Esther Krakau?

Harry should have been nominated. He got TWO jobs this wk... the Chief Impact Officer of BetterUp....a mental health start up.....aka mascot. A billlionaires' group has also hired him to be the misinformation police...(he should start with the Megs interview with Oprah) starting about a week ago. On Easter saturday Harry announced that he was about to take a LONG holiday.....over 6 weeks....due to the stress of his jobs

Fantastic show !!!

I actually prefer it when you have a variety of guests, it's more interesting to hear their different views. Think it would keep Plank of the Week fresher over time.

Everything does not appear to be as first thought with the George Floyd issue given the evidence being presented at the Chauvin trial - racism has not been presented at all.

The Royal Mint for producing a coin with Britannia portrayed as a black woman.

Thank you for making me howl with laughter .....again. My dopamine levels are almost back to normal levels. 😂

Corbin was all talk at student protests but when was leader of the opposition no one heard a peep out of him

I nominate the New Covid advertising on talk radio for being so creepy and patronising

Come on we all know the police are loving this it’s much easier than catching murderers pedos muggers rapists the list is endless

Fantastic show

I love the weekly development of Mike and Kev’s lockdown hair.

Got to give it to Mike Graham ❤😘🇬🇧

If Starmer rips off his mask, you will see an alien with a forked tongue

The new ‘Have I got news for you’, has become a must to listen too

Thanks for the giggles again... Mike and Kevin rocking the bob hairstyles... Get to the barbers next week lol...

For crying out loud, Talk Radio please bring back more guests. Do put in the effort to have fresh guests next week as the show suffers under Dawn and Kevin all the time. I'll give you extra credit if you bring back Emily Carver, she's brilliant and funny.

Should have a turn each week and have a “hero of the week”.This week, mine is Artur Pawlowski.

Well said Dawn on Race 👍

I'm probably in the minority here and don't get me wrong Dawn and Kevin's argueing can be very entertaining but I would like to some different people on the panel again because it's become a little monontonous for me. I'd like to hear some different opinions on planks from people like James Max for example.

This is the best show on line by some mile. It’s not the vaccine that’s gotten me though the pandemic, it’s these three 😂😂😂

Everybody sing! Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 🚣

Brilliant thanks 👍👍

Has Kneel Sturmer ever visited a m0sque? Those chaps have some firm opinions too but I guess that's OK.

Why is there a man and woman in the background, having a meeting on a continuous loop?

What ever happened to the sanctity and SANCTUARY of churches? It's insanity.

The race actually happened on the River Ouse not the River Ely (which is in Wales). It took place near Ely in a village called Littleport.

Thank you I’m laughing so much it hurts

This is one of the highlights of my week! So funny.

Love your program.

To not agree with same sex marriage does not mean you are homophobic.

Who is your nomination for Plank of The Week?

I preferred a whole host of panel members!

Re the NASUWT if they have 3000000 members that's 1 for every 20 citizens and still on average approx 20% pupils leave school functionally illiterate and innumerate. Real experts whos opinion we should value ???

First 2 nominations involve race, but only blacks (are referred to by the plank nominees) What about the racism that means Chinese and Indians are the top earners? Why teach from a black perspective? What about other races, creeds etc? Isn't it a case that those why cry "racist!" are racist as they include no other races?

This is gold

Have a true honestly questioned investigation and accept it !!!!!!❤️

Look up Jean Gasho she penned a letter to MM its brilliant she is a Black Woman living in the UK everyone should read it

See the Duke of ginger is in that office again lol

If you watch this straight after the thought police it sounds strange without all the swearing 🤣

Absolutely brilliant! Saying what we all think! 😘❤😂😂

I'm intrigued by those two behind Kevin's head, seemingly on a ten second loop,every single week! What's the story there?

Exactly as you said - if you teach about racism in kindergarten you are teaching children to be racist, a concept that would not even have occorred to them at that age.

Let labour keep doing there stuff, priceless.

All of the HP bars have been open since the beginning.

I wish they'd stop just relentlessly shouting over each other.

The Government! We elected them to speak and act on our behalf, they are supposed to SERVE US, not tell us what to do!

My Comedy of the week 👏👏👏

Wah wah wah wah!!!!!!! Kevin looks more fed up every week.

pls keep The Neesom Factor!

Maths started or counting started when a ruler needed to tax the ruled. The first level of abstraction is to separate the two and the beans in “two beans” or as Baldrick said “some beans”.

they all agree , first time ever!

Why would you look outside you have 3 planks there!

Where's Hitchens?? Been a month ????

Captain Keir Hindsight could do with some foresight....'wa wa wa....wa'!

I love the concept of this programme but PLEASE get some new guests

I still nominate bbc radio woke 5 live.

Mike always seems to speak more freely on plank then he does on his show .

I can tell you straight away as a former life long Labour voter, I will not be voting Labour again for the foreseeable future!

Who are those people in the background? They are there every week but they don't seem to DO anything.

Kids in sandpits eating sand being taught about racism.....hilarious Mike.....and spot on true

Boris Johnson is the plank of the week and a plonker of the week

Better this week Emmy B :)

You should send a plank to each plank of the week in the post. Hahahaha.

Thank You guys best the laugh of the week

👍👍

One of the Yank YT channels that discuss film/TV/etc said that James Bond will not be indulging in the pleasures of the flesh in the next film. They are talking about him becoming a woman too.

Who are the two ghosts in the background who are there every week?

I thought that these case may be of interest as they relate to my suggestion about the policeman in Kettering! Also, the police raid on a church! Rice v. Connolly (1966) is an English legal precedent holding that there is no strict, general legal duty to assist a police officer prior to any possible arrest or caution, with even basic police enquiries nor to accompany the officer to a requested location. The right to silence, citizen's duties and the Coronavirus Regulations - Neale v DPP (2021) Keith Neale’s conviction for obstructing a police officer was quashed by the High Court, sitting at Cardiff. In an important judgment on the right to silence, the legal duties of citizens and the operation of Corona virus Regulations, Mrs Justice Steyn and Lord Justice Dingemans held that justices at Newport Magistrates’ Court had erred in distinguishing Mr Neale’s case from Rice v Connolly and in finding him guilty of wilfully obstructing a police constable by declining to give his name and address to a police officer. On 23 April 2020, during the first lockdown, Mr Neale, a 60 year old man, had gone into Newport City Centre to take his key worker friend’s car for an MOT test. He was sitting on a bench waiting for the test to be done when he was approached by Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), who asked him to provide reasons for being in public and to provide his name and address so that a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) could be issued. Mr Neale declined to provide this information. A police officer attended the scene and demanded Mr Neale’s name and address. He refused and was then arrested and taken to a police station despite the risks involved during the height of the pandemic. The right to silence, citizen's duties and the Coronavirus Regulations - Neale v DPP Mr Neale was prosecuted under the original Welsh Coronavirus Regulations for leaving home without reasonable excuse and obstructing a police officer by refusing to provide his name and address so that a Fixed Penalty Notice could be issued to him. Quashing Mr Neale’s conviction, the High Court stated that: the Appellant was under no common law obligation to give the police his name and address; the right to silence is not reserved only for the innocent and those beyond suspicion (in Mr Neale’s case he was, in fact, acquitted of the offence he had been accused of); the Appellant was not under a statutory obligation pursuant to the Coronavirus Regulations to give his name and address to the police - the Coronavirus Regulations do not expressly create such an obligation; the Appellant’s refusal to provide his details foiled the police officer’s intention to issue an FPN but did not render the legislative scheme unworkable - if there are grounds for suspecting an offence and the suspect refuses to give their name and address they can, pursuant to section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, be arrested, as the Appellant was in this case. It was not therefore necessary to imply an obligation to give details to the police into the Regulations in order for the legislative scheme to operate; the Appellant’s case was distinguishable from other cases where wilful obstruction had been found - most importantly, none of those cases were about compelled speech; the right to remain silent is a particularly important part of our law. In addition, an obligation to give a name and address to the police would engage Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights; the courts should be wary of expanding police powers by implication - where Parliament has chosen to compel speech it has done so expressly; the absence of an express obligation to give a name and address in the Coronavirus Regulations powerfully demonstrates that it does not exist; the Appellant was not required to give his name and address to the police and it follows that his refusal to do so was not wilful; the justices at Newport Magistrates’ Court erred in distinguishing the Appellant’s case from Rice v Connolly in finding him guilty of wilfully obstructing a police constable. The judgment was a significant restatement of the position in Rice v Connolly that there is no general common law duty to assist the police and a person cannot be guilty of wilfully obstructing a police officer by remaining silent when questioned if there is no legal duty to answer questions. There is no such duty under Coronavirus Regulations. Separately, Mr Neale’s case raises serious questions about the enforcement of Coronavirus Regulations and may have implications for policing and for those who have been issued fixed penalty notices by the police and/or prosecuted for offences under the Regulations. Firstly, the case calls into question the logic behind aspects of the criminal justice response to the public health crisis created by the Coronavirus pandemic. Mr Neale was not placing anyone at risk when he sat on a bench lawfully waiting for an MOT test to be completed. The risk to public health, and cost to the taxpayer, was brought about by his subsequent arrest, detention and prosecution.

The only people I Saw was the Kids ,without masks 😷

It must be hard for Jeremy Corbyn considering he was born and raised in the lap of luxury, received the best of educations, and is wealthier than Boris. This is his way of getting down with the people. Bless.

I do love Dawn and Kevin and totally understand them being on every week re Covid. However I do miss Russell, Emily and Belinda et al and hope they will be invited to appear in the future.

I'm six minutes in and the 'lady in red' still can't get a word in without being interrupted or talked over.

Think Kevin had a few before the show.

Dawn and Kev should get a room - and decorate it. Shush, I don't even want to think about it.

Saw a U.S. black lecturer once who told a black a predominantly black audience, that before the white man went to Sub Saharan Africa, the indigenous population couldn't build anything more than 2 stories high and that not much is known about their past history in these areas because they couldn't write anything down ??

Well done Dawn for highlighting the hypocricy of the police in their selective actions against various gatherings. Not surprising which ones they were heavy-handed about and those they treated with kid-gloves.

Then give up on investigations ❤️💙❤️💙🙈

Right plank of the year is Boris Johnson, along with that very silky Plod who went into that balham church, noone could pay me enough to do that on behalf of Ms Dick!!!!!! Stop and think before this action. Because it's laughable and very sad at the same time!

I still enjoy it. But I did prefer when they stopped the panel

Disagree about the same presenters. COVID excuse alert! You have JHB, Mark Dolan et al in the building every day. It'd be nice to have some different views.

People only give certain ID information such as proof of age or proof of age or proof you are who you say you are nobody asks for private information such as health or job or anything else and they mostly get the information verbally

Would the police do that in a mosque
