1. 0:00Dickie Arbiter, good morning.
2. 0:02>> Morning, Jeremy. How are you?
3. 0:03>> Well, I'm all right, but today Angela
4. 0:05Rayner's
5. 0:06banter ban comes into being. We're not
6. 0:08allowed in any office under the new
7. 0:10Employment Strike Act to make any
8. 0:12comments about age, disability, race,
9. 0:14religion, sexual orientation, or gender
10. 0:16reassignment. So, I no longer will I say
11. 0:19that old git Arbiter's name. I'll say,
12. 0:21"Good morning, Richard. Thank you for
13. 0:22coming on the show."
14. 0:24>> No, it's Dickie, actually.
15. 0:25>> Well, you can't I don't think you can
16. 0:27say that anymore, to be honest. I think
17. 0:28I think I think the word Dickie's now
18. 0:30banned. I mean,
19. 0:31Dickie, welcome. I mean, let's start
20. 0:33with the front page of the Mail.
21. 0:35Extraordinary. Look who's back. There
22. 0:38was a memorial service yesterday in St.
23. 0:40James
24. 0:41Church for Paddy McNally, her ex-lover,
25. 0:43Fergie's ex-lover. Not only did she show
26. 0:45her face for the first time in a year,
27. 0:47she turned up with both daughters and
28. 0:48their respective husbands. Put on no
29. 0:51sort of show, just went. It was a year
30. 0:53ago she was seen. Is this relevant, my
31. 0:55friend? That's the first time she's been
32. 0:56seen for a while.
33. 0:58>> It is probably the first time she's been
34. 1:00seen for a while, and I don't think it's
35. 1:02relevant. Look, Paddy McNally was her
36. 1:04lover for many years. She had a very
37. 1:06soft spot for him, even though they went
38. 1:08their separate ways, and she's just
39. 1:09paying respect to somebody that she
40. 1:11still loved.
41. 1:12I don't think read too much into it. I
42. 1:14don't think she's galloping to the front
43. 1:16row
44. 1:17to be first me, me, me, and
45. 1:19picking up where she left off or where
46. 1:21she was dropped off. I think it was just
47. 1:23a one-off.
48. 1:25>> You don't think you'll start to see you
49. 1:26don't think talks of books and
50. 1:27television series and her side of the
51. 1:29story of the York's demise, etc., etc.,
52. 1:31will go from this point?
53. 1:33>> No, I don't. That's a long way off if it
54. 1:36ever if it ever happens.
55. 1:37>> You wouldn't put it past her, though,
56. 1:38knowing the sort of character she is.
57. 1:40The other story, of course, continues to
58. 1:42be
59. 1:43Meghan Markle's
60. 1:44father, I should say, Thomas Markle Sr.
61. 1:47being investigated in the Philippines
62. 1:49for that stash, alleged stash, of child
63. 1:52anti-child I'm going to say literature
64. 1:55is the best way to describe it.
65. 1:56Yesterday, the Met Police, who
66. 1:59if you're following this story, peeps,
67. 2:00this is the the Met Police who who wrote
68. 2:02to Meghan Markle in 2018 and said we
69. 2:04have concerns about your father. She
70. 2:06didn't tell anybody. However, they lost
71. 2:09the letter and had to go back to her.
72. 2:10They have themselves reported themselves
73. 2:12to the police watchdog over that lost
74. 2:14letter about those abuse claims. The Met
75. 2:16Police does not come out of any of these
76. 2:19recent things in a good light at all, do
77. 2:21they, Dickie?
78. 2:22>> No, they don't. They they they they seem
79. 2:24to up every time they blink. Um
80. 2:27this is this is something that they
81. 2:29should have been on top of. It should
82. 2:30have gone to other
83. 2:32uh police forces,
84. 2:34particularly the Philippines and the FBI
85. 2:35in the United States, but they did
86. 2:37nothing with it. They lost it. Uh
87. 2:39there's even a suggestion that they got
88. 2:41a copy from Meghan. Well, if they got a
89. 2:42copy from Meghan,
90. 2:44what's she doing traveling around with
91. 2:45it? And I got a few questions about this
92. 2:48letter. Did uh Roslyn Loveless actually
93. 2:51write it? Uh when did she write it?
94. 2:53Because why why was it delivered um
95. 2:55almost 45 years after she divorced her
96. 2:58ex-husband? Did she sign it? Has anybody
97. 3:00actually seen it? Is it a genuine
98. 3:03letter?
99. 3:03>> This is the ex-wife of Thomas Markle who
100. 3:05apparently was snubbed by um the Met
101. 3:08Police offering to help the child abuse
102. 3:11investigations. I agree with you. The
103. 3:12whole the whole story is disgusting and
104. 3:15and it's all about the protection of
105. 3:16kids, and of course we have Meghan
106. 3:17Markle out straight away saying, "That's
107. 3:19why I haven't allowed my father." Her
108. 3:21critics then jumped on board and said,
109. 3:23"Of course, kids are the most important
110. 3:24thing." But if you found out in 2018
111. 3:26that there were these allegations and
112. 3:28you heard nothing back from the police,
113. 3:30why did it take you 8 years? Surely
114. 3:31you'd have been banging their door down
115. 3:33saying, "What is going on? That is my
116. 3:35father." Did the royal family know? So
117. 3:37many unanswered questions. And it And
118. 3:39this is this is a story that's going
119. 3:40nowhere, is it?
120. 3:42>> It is a story that's going nowhere. You
121. 3:44mentioned did the royal family know? I
122. 3:45don't think they I don't believe they
123. 3:46did. It's not something that she would
124. 3:48have shared with the family because by
125. 3:51then, when the letter was delivered to
126. 3:54the Met in January 2019,
127. 3:56she was already estranged from the
128. 3:58family. So no, I I I don't think the
129. 4:01royals knew
130. 4:02uh and they've taken the right attitude,
131. 4:04Uh uh keeping silent, uh saying it's a
132. 4:07matter for the Sussex to deal with. Uh
133. 4:09meanwhile, what's Megan doing? Getting
134. 4:12on with life, going to Australia, we
135. 4:14hear, we're told, uh to do a Junior
136. 4:15>> Junior MasterChef.
137. 4:17>> Yeah, Junior MasterChef. Well,
138. 4:19Australians are welcome.
139. 4:21>> Yeah, uh the other thing that I want to
140. 4:22talk to you about the King, uh you
141. 4:23worked for the Queen, uh press secretary
142. 4:25to the Queen for many, many years. The
143. 4:26King uh in the middle of a Caribbean
144. 4:28tour, uh unanswered questions about
145. 4:31slavery reparations. I said it
146. 4:32yesterday, I'll say it again. Quite why
147. 4:34we don't get on the front foot and tell
148. 4:35the world that we were the country that
149. 4:37abolished reparations or abolished
150. 4:39slavery, instead of spending our times
151. 4:41apologetically all the time going, "Ooh,
152. 4:43ooh, ooh, we're responsible for
153. 4:44everything." Worryingly, though, um a
154. 4:47poll out yesterday, his popularity dips
155. 4:49four points since the publication of
156. 4:51Earl Spencer's fiery swan song. You're a
157. 4:54You're a response to that, Dickie?
158. 4:55>> Well, Swan song was a few weeks ago now,
159. 4:58and and polls do take a time to uh to
160. 5:00conduct and get published, and I think
161. 5:02he's back up there again over what the
162. 5:05poll suggests. Um he's doing great job
163. 5:07in the Caribbean.
164. 5:08>> He always does. He always does a great
165. 5:10job. Look at him. He's got cancer, man.
166. 5:12And respect.
167. 5:13>> Ahead of the Chogm meeting, uh there's a
168. 5:15story today that he he had a tot of rum.
169. 5:18Well, anybody who's had one of his
170. 5:20martinis, and I have been subjected to
171. 5:22one of them, uh will find rum a bit like
172. 5:25orange juice, uh but it's not
173. 5:26>> see, you're arguing with a man who lived
174. 5:28in Barbados for 10 years. Are you
175. 5:29telling me that you think you could
176. 5:31drink Bajan rum more than one of his
177. 5:32martinis? Bajan rum blow your head off,
178. 5:34man.
179. 5:35>> Well, his martinis will certainly blow
180. 5:37your head off. I I took a sip of it and
181. 5:39then tipped the rest of it into a yucca
182. 5:41in Brazil, um because I don't drink.
183. 5:43But, um
184. 5:44>> A yucca? Do you know what a yucca is?
185. 5:45It's a plant.
186. 5:47Di- Don't you know you've upset the
187. 5:48horticulturalists now? You see, you're
188. 5:50going to be You're going to be canceled
189. 5:51for pouring alcohol over some poor
190. 5:53flower. Um Do you think the King will be
191. 5:55all right? Do you think the royal family
192. 5:56will be all right?
193. 5:57>> The royal family will be Working royals
194. 5:59will be okay. The King's leading the
195. 6:01charge, uh
196. 6:02ably is by by the Waleses, by William in
197. 6:05particular. So, let's not fear. The
198. 6:07royals are doing a good job. They will
199. 6:09continue doing a good job. People in
200. 6:11this country realize they're doing a
201. 6:12good job. And what happens on the
202. 6:14touchline
203. 6:15is something for the matter of those
204. 6:17people who are having to deal with it,
205. 6:19and not the royal family.
206. 6:20>> I'll tell you before we go what I think
207. 6:22will happen at Meghan Markle's signed up
208. 6:23for Australian Junior MasterChef. The
209. 6:25latest country that I think she'll try
210. 6:27and conquer. America, she's failed.
211. 6:29Here, they can't turn the dial back. I
212. 6:31think uh she and Harry and the kids will
213. 6:34disappear off to Australia. I don't
214. 6:35think they're going to stay in the
215. 6:36United Kingdom. I think this is going to
216. 6:37be a sort of nomadic lifestyle, which
217. 6:39begs the question, do you not care about
218. 6:40your kids' education or what?
219. 6:42>> Well, it it does make you wonder. They
220. 6:45they've been in two schools in this
221. 6:46country, and if they're going to
222. 6:47Australia, it means that the suggestion
223. 6:49that they're going sort of middle of the
224. 6:50year, which means the end of the school
225. 6:52year. Yep, they're probably going to
226. 6:54another school in Australia.
227. 6:55>> Uh
228. 6:55>> [snorts]
229. 6:56>> mate, it's always good. Are horse riding
230. 6:57today?
231. 6:58>> No, no, that was Wednesday and Thursday.
232. 7:00>> What are you doing today?
233. 7:02>> I haven't decided yet.
234. 7:03>> What a great life. Just don't offend
235. 7:05anybody or say anything.
236. 7:07>> No, no,
237. 7:08and no banter.
238. 7:09>> No banter. You did [clears throat] say
239. 7:10up during that. We've had to We've
240. 7:11had to blur that out and probably
241. 7:12apologize.
242. 7:13>> banter?
243. 7:14>> You're not allowed. We don't have to say
244. 7:15up. No, that's wrong. It's
245. 7:16disrespectful to people who don't like
246. 7:17that word up. Uh Dickie Arbiter, we love
247. 7:19you. Have a great weekend.
