1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: Into Brady UK correspondence with US. 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: Now hey indun Hello Heather, great so speak to you again. 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Yes, so, keys Stam has found out that the NH 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: chase is a bit stuffed. 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 2: Yes he has. Look, you've got to applaud him because 6 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: one of the first things he did on going into 7 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: number ten Downing Street was Commissioner report. He knew it 8 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: was stuffed, but he just wanted to see how badly. 9 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: And the report is in it makes terrible reading. Basically 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 2: everything is being held back and it's not for you know, 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: want of money or people or resources. It's the management, 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: it's the lack of intelligence. It's the British Medical Association 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: and its conservative leadership apparently holding a lot of things back. 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: So Starmer's going to give a speech in the next 15 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: few hours. The NHS National Health Service here is a 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: cherished institution running since nineteen forty seven and it's free 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: from the point of entry with treatment, you know, from 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: cradle to grave, and Starmer basically is going to tell 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: the British public today that it requires major surgery, not 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: another sticking plaster. Absolutely every aspect of the NHS is 21 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: going to get reformed under Starmer's leadership. And I think 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: it's been half a century in the comingness. It really has. 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: So let's see if Starmer can do something that no 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: prime minister has managed to achieve before. What does he mean. 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: By major surgery? Has he given us any indication of 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: what it is that he's thinking of doing. 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: I think for a start, they're going to stop chucking 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: money at hospitals that are not performing. I mean, you've 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: got a lot of very highly paid consultants and senior 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: leadership in the NHS and the money keeps going to 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: certain hospitals, but the results are not there, and it 32 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: will be the same as you know, pumping money into 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 2: a failing rugby team or a footy club and expecting 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: wins to keep coming and nothing has been happening. I mean, 35 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: they've made zero progress. This is one really scary stat 36 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: early detection of cancer in the UK in the last decade. 37 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: The report says they have made zero progress. There are 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: far better countries in the world with smaller economies and 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: less money than the UK and they are smashing this. 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, there's a lot of arrogance 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: I think here in the medical profession. The money. You know, 42 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: they have a great lifestyle. These guys and girls, Yeah, 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: they highly qualified people, but let's be blunt here, they 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: have not been delivering bang for the book for a 45 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: very very long time. And I think Starmar's going to 46 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: sort that out. 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: Well, he's hoping. I mean, you really need this sometimes, 48 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: don't you. Okay, this Andrew film that's going to come out, 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: how bad is it? 50 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: It's really bad. So the reviews are in, and I'm 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: not talking about, you know, entertainment value bad. It's excellent entertainment. 52 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: But in terms of Andrew's reputation and legacy and the 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: fact that you know, a lot of people will see 54 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: these imagined conversations behind the scenes and take it as fact. 55 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: It's called a Very Royal Scandal. It's made by Emily Maitliss. 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: It's basically horror version of the events leading up to 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: and including the now notorious interview with Andrew talking about 58 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: his pal, the pedophile Epstein. So it pulls now punches. 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: Andrew comes across as an extremely unlikable, extremely unpleasant, very thick, 60 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: entitled man, and the timing of it could not be 61 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: worse because Charles now is going all out on this 62 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: issue of Royal Lodge. He does not want to keep 63 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: paying six million dollars a year to keep his brother 64 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 2: in that house with his ex wife. Charles wants him out. 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: And the major headline the other day from a friend 66 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: of Charles talking to the papers, which must have been 67 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: clear by the King himself, was pay your way or 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: pack your bags. That's how bad it's got between them. 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: And this film lands next week. 70 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so he will use it as ammunition to be 71 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: able to try to basically evict Andrew. But where does 72 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: Andrew go if he gets evicted? 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: So well, there's a beautifully restored cottage that costs somewhere 74 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: in the region of eight million dollars the renovation to 75 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: Frogmore Cottage, which wasn't good enough for Meg and Harry, 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 2: but it's certainly deemed good enough for Andrew. And that's 77 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: where Charles wants him to go. It's in the grounds 78 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: of Windsor, it's within the security cordon and it's there 79 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: and it's empty and for a bachelor man apparently in 80 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: his sixties, you know, that's where the King wants his 81 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 2: younger brother to go. Andrew's kicking back, but he hasn't 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: got a leg to stand on. I mean, the guy 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: can't be seen in public. He will get ridiculed if 84 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: he appears anywhere, and he is of no use to 85 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: the royal family. And I think what we saw this 86 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: week really positive news from the Princess of Wales that 87 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: she's cancer free. We've seen Charles embracing your rugby players 88 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: last night and hugs and a beautiful song they sung 89 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: for him. You know, it has been a positive week 90 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: for the House of Windsor, but I think they're bracing 91 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: themselves for next week courtesy of good old uncle Andrew 92 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 2: yet again. 93 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, once again, I thank you ind as always, We'll 94 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: talk to you again next week.
