1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: In the Brady UK corresponding with us, Now, Hyinda, hey Heaven,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: how are you good? Thank you Mike. But why has

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: this petition got so much traction? I mean, it's never

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Is it so a petition to have another

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: general election which we had one four months ago? Elon

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Musk retweeted it on his platform and the end result

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: is it's gone off like a rocket, not quite as

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: far as Mars, but up in the air and down

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: like a damned squib because there's not going to be

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: another election. It's I find it very, very funny all

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: the people calling for an election now immediately because Keir

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Starmer is so bad. Apparently these are the exact same

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: people who told us after the breggsit referendum that we

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: must respect democracy and we had her say and the

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: people voted and we must listen to the people's voice. Well,

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: the thing is the people did vote here on July fourth,

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: and Labor came back in with four hundred and twelve seats.

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Keir Starmer is not going to wake up in the

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: morning people. If we've believe there are two million people

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: who signed this, because I think there's an awful lot

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: from what I'm seeing an awful lot of foreign interference

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: going on here. Kirs Starmer's not going to wake up

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow in Downing Street and say, gosh, we must have

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: an election before Christmas. Turkeys and Christmas. It's not going

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: to happen. No too right now, Okay, explain to me

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: how Boris Johnson blames the obesity crisis on the Church

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: of England. I thought it was April first when I

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: saw the papers here this morning, but apparently it's not.

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: There's an inquiry into Britain's obesity crisis. And let's speak

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: frank here. There is a problem with weight. A lot

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: of people are clinically obese in the UK right now.

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: It has everything to do about diet and exercise and

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the lack of leadership we've seen in the last fourteen

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: years on this. Many of those years, Boris Johnson was

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: actually the Prime Minister, the one person who could actually

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: do something about health policy. He's been asked to take

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: part in this report and along with other previous Prime

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: ministers and health secretaries, he has given his thoughts. And

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: the problem he has here, of course, is he fell

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: out years ago at the Archbishop of Canterbury, the guy

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: who just quit justin Welby. So he's putting the knife

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: into Welby and the church. Boris Johnson says that people

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: in Britain are so desperate for the bread of life,

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: the bread of Christ. He said that their spiritual needs

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: are being ignored by the Church of England. And he

46
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: said the bread of life is being provided by the

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: major supermarket Tesco, and in Johnson's words, people are gorging

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: themselves on it. He points out that when he was

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: a kid, he said he couldn't say this publicly because

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: he'd be shot. He said, when he was a kid,

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: there were no fat soos in his class. And he said,

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and this is his word, fatso. By the way, before

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: anyone jumps on me, he said, nowadays every single kid

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: is a fatso And he said, you're not allowed to

55
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: say it. So he's had a right all rant today.

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: I mean, if anyone's in need of cheering up and

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: living on a slightly different universe for five minutes, find

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: the Johnson interview. It is jaw droppingly bad. Oh. I

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't realize he was such a good squatter. He's not.

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: I think he lives up the road from me, and

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: I think he's bored out with his brain and I

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: think on a Sunday the only thing to do is

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: that little church and he's gone along with his family.

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: He's not massively religious. He would probably quote various different

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: chunks of the Bible that were hammered into him at

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: Eaton at some stage when he was ten. But I think,

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, with respect to his beliefs and everything, the

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: problem in Britain and Britain's obesity issue Rember. Bearing in

69
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: mind this is the guy who nearly died because he

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: was so fat during COVID. I mean, you couldn't make

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: this up. The problem comes from consecutive governments taking no

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: interest whatsoever in what children are eating. And I think

73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: to a point he absolutely has a point that there

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: are a lot of rather obese kids around nowadays. But

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: boris Johnson going out and calling everyone a fatso And

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: to help illustrate the issue, the Times newspaper have put

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: a picture of Johnson up in his jogging days. It's

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: not great, but in all honesty, if he had this

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: level of passion about Britain's obesity crisis while he was

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Prime Minister, he could have gone a long way to

81
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: solving it. You know, I'm going to google this picture

82
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: right now and have a look at him and his

83
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: jogging here. Thank you for that. Ended it's not good,

84
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: it's cool, No, it really isn't. Wow, it's quite enough

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to turn you off. All men, hey da, thanks very much,
