This is the 76 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: fault of King Charles, who refuses to address his subjects 77 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: and say stop it. Also, we're not an Islamic nation. 78 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: You better get on with the Church of England or 79 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: you can go or at least not be Islamists if 80 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: you don't have to get on with the Church of England. 81 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: This is the fault of Prince William, who will not 82 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: be able to pass this along to King the possible 83 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: King George, because there won't be a country. 84 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: Left to run. 85 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: It won't exist, There'll be no country left. These things 86 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: are important and right now the UK is absolutely not 87 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: a free place, just like Europe is not a free place. 88 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: But we still are. 89 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: And that's what makes this story so it's fantastic. 90 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: Oh it's true.
