  Speaker 4: As Nick Haywood in Haircut 100 sang in Love Plus One,
• 0:59
  where does it go from here? That's what I'd like
• 1:02
  to know. With corrupt political parties, corrupt politicians, corrupt media,
• 1:09
  and billionaire business owners ripping us off, not just in
• 1:13
  the UK, but worldwide, what do we do? I'm Mike
• 1:21
  Kelly with the latest Shorter Than Short news. Our top story,
• 1:25
  Iceland to become the first UK high street retailer to
• 1:29
  open shops in the Falkland Islands. Boss Richard Walker is
• 1:34
  proud to be backing Britain with a store in the
• 1:37
  capital Stanley, but admitted it was an error and the
• 1:41
  new shop should have been in Falkirk. Nottingham has become
• 1:45
  one of the first cities in the UK to introduce
• 1:48
  restrictions on balaclavas, allowing police and community protection officers to
• 1:54
  ask people to remove them if they're being used to
• 1:57
  conceal their identity, to commit crime or antisocial behaviour. Black
• 2:03
  Eyed Peas frontman Will I Am to change his name
• 2:07
  to Will AI. Public backlash as billionaire Jim Ratcliffe halts
• 2:12
  production at whole chemical plants over ridiculous gas prices. If
• 2:18
  a billionaire cannot turn on the gas, how are we
• 2:21
  supposed to turn on the central heating? HMRC have filed
• 2:25
  a petition to wind up online estate agents Purple Bricks.
• 2:30
  Danish toy manufacturer Lego says they will continue to produce
• 2:34
  Purple Bricks as normal. Police forces in the UK are
• 2:39
  seizing illegal bikes from criminals. The bikes are then auctioned
• 2:44
  and often go back to the same criminals. That's it.
• 2:47
  You're up to date with all the news that is
• 2:49
  news this hour. I'm Mike Kelly for STS News.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: This is the Short of the Short podcast with Mike Kelly.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Morning, Joyce. What have you got there in that brightly
• 2:59
  coloured glass? Is it blood or are we heading into
• 3:02
  some sort of Dracula-based sketch?
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: No, it's cherry juice. It's very good for you at
• 3:07
  repairing ligaments and muscles. Nearly as good as folic acid.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Cherry juice? Why? Why are we having it?
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: It's all part of my keep fit routine. It's working.
• 3:19
  I'm losing weight. I had to get Timpsons to put
• 3:22
  another two holes in my belt. It was too big.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: What are you doing to lose weight?
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I'm doing what Kate Silverton is doing. I'm rebounding for
• 3:32
  30 minutes a day.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: What the flip is rebounding?
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: You buy a rebounding trampoline, then jump up and down
• 3:39
  on it for 30 minutes a day. Then I do
• 3:42
  the ice bucket for five minutes. The ice bucket is
• 3:46
  not part of the Kate Silverton thing. That's my own bit.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Mike Kelly.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Um, what's out there on the social media sites? The
• 3:56
  Howard League here are the ten most overcrowded prisons in
• 4:00
  England and Wales in August. The most overcrowded prison is Leeds.
• 4:06
  It should hold no more than 641 men, but has
• 4:08
  been cramming in 1,068. Danhan John 1, man who pays
• 4:17
  zero UK taxes, says taxes are too high. Man who
• 4:22
  is immigrant in Monaco says there is too much immigration.
• 4:27
  Hypocrite BBC News billionaire Man United owner says he has
• 4:32
  lost confidence in the UK. James Timpson, the cobbler. You
• 4:38
  can tell Ozempic and Mount Jaro are popular. In our
• 4:42
  Timpson shops, we have seen a 680% increase in the
• 4:48
  number of three holes punched in custom adults we've been
• 4:52
  doing this year. Zoe Harrison, 1965, Radio 2, please do
• 4:59
  the nation a favour and stop playing Lulu on repeat.
• 5:03
  Our ears can't take any more. Kyle, PWP official, just in. GB,
• 5:10
  Britain's grid operator, gave Palantir a £ 21m contract without inviting
• 5:18
  rival bids. We should be removing them, not sidestepping processes,
• 5:23
  to have them more ingrained in our institutions. This needs
• 5:28
  to stop. It's new, and just in time for Christmas.
• 5:33
  It's the new LED Party Bra. The bra that lights up. Yes,
• 5:38
  it's got bright, cascading displays, countdown circles. You can even
• 5:43
  display your own messages, such as, I'm Joyce, mine's a Guinness. Hey,
• 5:49
  big boy. Are you looking at me? The list is endless.
• 5:52
  And for just an extra tenner, you can have the
• 5:55
  double woofer stereo sound enabled version so you can see.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: And hear messages displayed. Have some real party fun. Get
• 6:04
  your LED party bra ordered in time for Christmas. Full
• 6:09
  details on how to order at the end of the show.
• 6:14
  And on TV, Mark Labette has hit out at ITV
• 6:20
  over claims surrounding the future of The Chase. The hit
• 6:23
  quiz show has graced our screens since 2009, with Bradley
• 6:28
  Walsh at the helm. It was recently claimed that filming
• 6:32
  of the show has been put on hold, addressing the
• 6:35
  reports Mark, a.k.a. The Beast, called.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Himself an ex-chaser and branded ITV chase. cheeky sods as
• 6:45
  he discussed the show's future. According to the 61-year-old, ITV
• 6:50
  has shut down the chase, with the quizmaster claiming the
• 6:54
  show is on indefinite hiatus. He told Heap magazine, ITV
• 6:59
  has shut us down. We might be coming back next
• 7:03
  year or the year after. They've done it this way
• 7:06
  to avoid paying us redundancy. Basically, they're cheeky sods. I
• 7:11
  tell you what is odd. It's the Big Fancy ITV
• 7:15
  National Television Awards. How can you have a show like
• 7:19
  this when there's so many crappy programmes? Comedy. Mrs Brown's Boys.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Winner.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Factual Entertainment. Gogglebox. Winner. Special Recognition. Alan Carr. Winner. Series Drama. Emmerdale.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Winner.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I rest my case. Oh. and 86-year-old Tom Jones on Facebook.
• 7:42
  To be clear, I did not want to leave the voice,
• 7:45
  as I love the show and really appreciate the audience.
• 7:49
  ITV made this decision, obviously a while ago, and I
• 7:54
  was told just recently. The reason given is because of
• 7:57
  financial difficulty with insurance. They now say, in the press,
• 8:02
  they wanted to refresh the show, and with a new
• 8:05
  coaching line-up, there wouldn't be a chair left.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: No surprises with that then. It's not unusual at that age.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Why doesn't money-saving expert Martin Lewis, instead of showing us
• 8:19
  how to save a couple of quid by switching to
• 8:22
  a different energy supplier, bank, mortgage provider, broadband, or phone provider...
• 8:28
  Why doesn't he change the whole format and do it
• 8:31
  the other way round and show all the mega companies
• 8:35
  and the massive profits they make and how they could
• 8:37
  be helping customers by reducing prices, paying taxes, and where
• 8:42
  they're employing people on universal credit, they pay back to
• 8:46
  the governments the amount their staff are getting on universal
• 8:50
  credit to make up their wages. Talking of filming, who
• 8:54
  are all these have-a-go journalist types filming people and incidents
• 8:59
  on the streets and putting them on social media sites
• 9:02
  as if they are news journos? Let's face it, the
• 9:06
  mainstream media are biased enough. Now we have these unregulated
• 9:11
  types putting scare stories out there and filming people without permission.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Stop it. It's the Mike Kelly Short of the Short
• 9:19
  Podcast for you.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Recommend a pod, and this time, I don't think we've
• 9:23
  had it before, but it is the Working Hours Podcast
• 9:27
  with Simon Treen from his Western Studios in Leeds. It's
• 9:32
  a bit different. Why not give Simon Treen's Working Hours
• 9:35
  Podcast a go? Why not try episode 15 with Chris Nixon, writer?
• 9:41
  And to be treated to some of Simon's own thoughts...
• 9:45
  at the start of the podcast.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Today's do-gooders are LendWithCare.org.
• 9:50

• 10:51
  Speaker 5: This is the Short of the Short podcast with Mike Kelly.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And in the motoring news, Neil Fedorwiz says a few
• 10:57
  things stand out from the latest fully compatible global EV
• 11:02
  sales data for 2026. BYD is now in a league
• 11:07
  of its own with... with around 1.25 million EV sales
• 11:12
  from January to May, more than double Tesla's 596,000. Geely
• 11:19
  is already above 400,000, while Leap Motor has pushed past 260,000.
• 11:26
  Six of the global top 10 EV brands are Chinese,
• 11:30
  which shows just how quickly the centre of gravity in
• 11:33
  the car industry is shifting. If you use Facebook and
• 11:38
  look at motoring comments, one thing you will see a
• 11:41
  lot of are people slagging off Chinese car build quality.
• 11:45
  Range Rover going faulty and wet belt failures. I know,
• 11:51
  what's a wet belt? Here goes, it's cam belt. Most
• 11:55
  cars have a dry cam belt or chain cam belt.
• 11:58
  But many newer models have this wet belt, a rubber-type
• 12:03
  belt that runs in oil. Many, many people disapprove of
• 12:08
  this system, and it seems to break down quite a lot.
• 12:15
  Today's music quiz, a 60s classic hit, Name the Soul
• 12:20
  or the Artiste, Behind the Shelter, In the Middle of
• 12:23
  the Roundabout, A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray,
• 12:28
  and though she feels as if she's in a play,
• 12:31
  she is, anyway. Name the song, the group, or the artiste.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: I'm not normally very good at this, but I'm pretty
• 12:40
  sure this is from Mary Poppings.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: If you're new to the Mike DJ Kelly Shorter Than
• 12:45
  Short podcast, you can still get to hear all previous
• 12:49
  episodes just by searching or shouting the Mike DJ Kelly
• 12:54
  Shorter Than Short podcast. You can also catch me on
• 12:57
  BCB 106.6 FM. That's on a Tuesday at midday. You
• 13:03
  can get that at bcbradio.co.uk or through the Radio Player app.
• 13:10
  More from the social media sites Gen, K, GB. The
• 13:15
  reason people aren't having children anymore is because governments have
• 13:19
  made it too expensive for parents to be able to
• 13:23
  afford it, even though both parents have to work. If
• 13:26
  they wanted to help, they could, but they don't want to. Mel.
• 13:31
  How can every company you always call be busier than
• 13:35
  usual at whatever time of day you call? Wattle Media,
• 13:41
  the UK vegetable gene bank, holds more than 14,000 seed
• 13:46
  samples in a living library, safeguarding genetic diversity that could
• 13:52
  prove vital for growing food under future climate conditions. Dex's official, I,
• 14:00
  Kevin Rowland, the son of Irish immigrants and the main
• 14:04
  songwriter of Come On Eileen, am disgusted to learn that
• 14:08
  Nigel Farage has used our Dex's Midnight Runner song to
• 14:13
  make his entrance for his party conference speech. Myself and
• 14:18
  all of Dex's are passionately against Farage's politics. J.K.C.F.O. ITV
• 14:26
  has axed Tom Jones from The Voice in favour of
• 14:29
  the panel consisting of Cheryl Cole and rapper H. Ageism
• 14:35
  at its finest. Tom was by far the best thing
• 14:38
  about the show. What a terrible decision. Fake Showbiz News
• 14:46
  asked Fake Showbiz News, new Enya single, You Nicknamed My
• 14:50
  Baby After The Loch Ness Monster, to be released on
• 14:55
  23rd of October. Kylie Minogue admits it makes her laugh
• 14:59
  when other singers have to cancel their tours due to
• 15:02
  poor ticket sales. Jennifer Lopez was a good one, she giggled.
• 15:07
  Little Mix star Perry Edwards says she was interested to
• 15:11
  learn that Tesco Mobile uses O2' s network infrastructure. Pretty nice
• 15:16
  of O2 to allow that. Though I suspect some money
• 15:20
  has changed hands, she speculated.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: This is the short of the short podcast with.

• 15:56
  Speaker 5: This is the Shorter Than Short podcast with Mike Kelly.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Maxine Pye highlights this. Your LED light bulbs could be
• 16:03
  messing with your biology. And we put the bloody things everywhere. Homes, schools, hospitals, offices, streetlights.
• 16:11
  Professor Glenn Jeffery, a neuroscientist at University College London... has
• 16:18
  gone as far as comparing the potential health problem from
• 16:22
  LED lighting to asbestos. That's quite a statement about something
• 16:27
  sitting six feet above your head right now. His research
• 16:31
  focuses on how light affects mitochondria. the tiny structures inside
• 16:37
  our cells responsible for producing energy. Experimental work has found
• 16:42
  that blue heavy LED light can interfere with the mitochondrial function.
• 16:48
  Modern white LED lights can produce a strong blue component
• 16:53
  while giving us very little of the red wavelengths found
• 16:57
  in sunlight and older incandescent lighting. and we didn't introduce
• 17:02
  them gradually, we filled our homes with them, then our offices,
• 17:06
  then our schools, then our hospitals, shops and streetlights, because
• 17:11
  they use less electricity. The interesting question is why the
• 17:15
  conversation was entirely about energy efficiency, while the biological effect
• 17:21
  of changing the light spectrum received considerably less attention. Geoffrey
• 17:27
  called it a public health issue on the same level.
• 17:30
  as asbestos. Considering how many hours a day we're exposed
• 17:34
  to LED lighting, perhaps you should be taking that statement
• 17:39
  rather more seriously. And on the radio, Radio 2 seems
• 17:47
  to be in a bit of a mess. Nobody seems
• 17:49
  to know who is doing what show. Now they've migrated
• 17:53
  most of their presenters to Greatest Hits Radio. Well, apart
• 17:57
  from the new afternoon show signing, Irish personality Angela Scanlon.
• 18:03
  Yet on Greatest Hits Radio, people are complaining about misnamed
• 18:08
  places in the travel news, which is now read out
• 18:11
  by AI. Examples include A1075 instead of A1075, West Cumbria
• 18:22
  instead of Cumbria, Hayworth instead of Heworth, Birchhanger became Birdchanger,
• 18:28
  some have suggested they get AI in the style of
• 18:31
  Sally Traffic to read it out, then the Greatest Hits
• 18:35
  Radio 2 makeover would be complete.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Oh that brings back good memories of when I used
• 18:41
  to do AA Roadwatch from our little office in the
• 18:44
  AA building on Dog Kennel Lane in Hale's Owen. I
• 18:47
  used to be a bit of a personality when I
• 18:50
  did that, saying my name on the radio every few minutes.
• 18:54
  Joyce Pritchard AA.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Roadwatch Somebody put on Facebook about Greatest Hits Radio using
• 19:00
  AA for their travel news, so I put a comment
• 19:04
  on saying they should bring back AA Roadwatch. What was
• 19:08
  nice was how many ex-AA Roadwatch presenters got in touch
• 19:13
  with several saying how many years it's been since they
• 19:16
  last said AA Roadwatch. Alex Brown, 28 years. Becca Fowler,
• 19:22
  31 years. And for me, the last time I think
• 19:25
  I said Mike Kelly, AA Roadwatch, was in 2001. And
• 19:30
  before you ask, we never got place names wrong. No
• 19:34
  one ever said Keeley or Penis Stone.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: This is the short of the short podcast with Mike Kelly.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: And in the stuff you don't know corner, Sam Bentley
• 19:46
  says an Australian woman became the country's first... person buried
• 19:51
  in a mushroom coffin, which breaks down and becomes part
• 19:55
  of the soil in just 45 days.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I hear they are quite pricey, which is strange as
• 20:01
  mushrooms at Asda are very cheap. Maybe we should have
• 20:05
  a go at making one, it can't be much different
• 20:08
  to making vegan chili where you use mushrooms instead of mints.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I see the headline, London buses in decline. Why public
• 20:20
  transport in global cities is slowing to a crawl. They
• 20:24
  say services are getting slower in London due to congested streets.
• 20:29
  If you look at many cities, Leeds is a good example,
• 20:33
  where the powers that be have taken to widening footpaths
• 20:36
  and making roads narrower, so when buses stop or vehicles
• 20:40
  break down, There is no way to pass them. It's
• 20:43
  impossible for emergency vehicles to move at speed on any
• 20:48
  of the main routes in or out of the city
• 20:50
  because they can't get past queuing traffic. Then there's the
• 20:54
  busscape bits of roads only buses can use at certain times.
• 20:59
  Anybody else, and it's a £ 35 fine. 53,000 people caught
• 21:05
  so far. According to Google, there are 11 camera-enforced bus
• 21:09
  gates operating in Leeds city centre, alongside multiple camera-enforced bus lanes.
• 21:16
  The bus network in West Yorkshire is called Weaver, and
• 21:19
  I've just unsigned from their news email as it said
• 21:23
  it was an integrated transport system. But nowhere in the
• 21:27
  blurb is there any mention of cars, and I'm a
• 21:31
  car driver. Many people currently looking at shorter journeys and
• 21:35
  cutting out non-essential ones due to the price of diesel
• 21:40
  at around about £ 2 a litre. Why is diesel so
• 21:43
  much more than petrol? Apparently diesel is more expensive than petrol,
• 21:48
  primarily due to high commercial demand. stricter refining requirements and
• 21:53
  supply deficits that force heavy reliance on global imports. High
• 21:59
  commercial and industrial demand, heavy transport, freight trucks, delivery vans, buses,
• 22:05
  agricultural machinery and construction equipment run almost exclusively on diesel,
• 22:12
  plus diesel shares a close market link with heating oil,
• 22:16
  meaning cold weather or industrial heating spikes drive up costs
• 22:20
  for both.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: This is the Short of the Short podcast with Mike Kelly.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: I wonder if Vladimir Putin has ever been on a
• 22:26
  pontins holiday. It must be tempting with the name being
• 22:30
  so similar to his.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: I think you need some strong coffee.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Never mind strong coffee. Are we going to the pub
• 22:37
  when we have finished this?
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, why not? Which one?
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: We could go to the lovely Cross Keys in Holbeck
• 22:43
  before it closes in October. Our other fave the George
• 22:47
  near the LGI is still closed for refurbishment.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I hate them refurbishing perfectly good pubs and making them
• 22:55
  all the same and painting them grey.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Have you finished? Shall we just go to Woody's at
• 23:01
  the start of the Otley Run and watch the weird
• 23:03
  and wonderful world of those on the Otley Run?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I hate.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Bread's been in the news about the adding of folic
• 23:12
  acid to make it healthy. Well, what about bread and additives?
• 23:17
  Here's what Samahul has to say. The bread on Britain's
• 23:21
  table was bleached for decades with a chemical that gave
• 23:25
  dogs fits, eventually found to be rickets. And when the
• 23:29
  government was asked about food additives in 1951, the minister
• 23:34
  answering admitted he did not know what the word meant.
• 23:38
  It starts with the dogs. By the 1930s, British vets
• 23:43
  had a name for something they kept seeing and could
• 23:46
  not explain. Canine hysteria. A dog would be lying by
• 23:50
  the fire, perfectly well, then it would be up running, yelping,
• 23:55
  yelping at nothing, crashing into furniture. It was Sir Edward Mellonby,
• 24:00
  Secretary of the Medical Research Council, who'd already spent a
• 24:04
  career feeding dogs carefully controlled diets and writing down what
• 24:08
  happened to them. In 1946 he founded Dogs Fed Flour,
• 24:13
  treated one particular way, went into fits. Dogs Fed Flour
• 24:17
  without that treatment did not. The difference was one step
• 24:22
  in the mill. For years the milling trade had been
• 24:24
  whitening and improving its flour with a gas called e-gene,
• 24:29
  nitrogen trichloride. Flour treated with it came out whiter, made
• 24:34
  a better behaved dough, and could go to the baker
• 24:36
  without the weeks of natural ageing flour used to need
• 24:41
  quicker whiter cheaper every miller's dream a gene reacted with
• 24:46
  the protein in the wheat and made something new by
• 24:49
  1949 researchers have pinned it down methion sulfoxamine a compound
• 24:55
  that sends the nervous system into seizures in animal after animal.
• 25:00
  The toxin came out of the bread itself. The treatment
• 25:04
  made it from the wheat's own protein. America banned ageing
• 25:09
  in 1949. Britain kept on bleaching. On the 25th of
• 25:12
  May 1951, an MP stood up in the Commons and
• 25:17
  asked the Minister of Food to what extent flour was
• 25:20
  still being treated with it. When a member pressed him
• 25:23
  about the 700 additives in use, the man at the
• 25:26
  dispatch box said he would be very glad to look
• 25:29
  into it. If his honourable friend would explain what the
• 25:33
  word additives meant, he did not know. That was the
• 25:36
  state of oversight in the country whose chief medical research
• 25:41
  body had just shown that the nation's bread used gave
• 25:44
  dogs fits. Ageing was eventually replaced. The white loaf still
• 25:49
  comes with a line on the bag that most people
• 25:52
  read past. Flour treatment agents. And white flour in Britain
• 25:56
  is legally required to have things put into it. Calcium
• 26:01
  since the war, iron, thiamine and niacin since the 1950s
• 26:06
  because milling takes out what the grain had. On 13th December,
• 26:11
  folic acid joins the list. The food that once needed
• 26:14
  gas to make it white, and still needs an Act
• 26:17
  of Parliament to make it worth eating, sits at the
• 26:21
  base of the national plate.

  everything around MP wages, expenses, energy payments needs to be

  3 Amber. So today I learned that coconuts from Thailand
• 30:04
  used in canned coconut milk are harvested by monkeys who
• 30:08
  were stolen from the forest as babies and forced to work,
• 30:12
  often harvesting up to a thousand coconuts a day. They
• 30:16
  had their teeth ripped out to stop them being able
• 30:19
  to fight back. and are kept in awful conditions. One
