1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to this year's Unexplained Halloween's Special with

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: me Richard mc lane smith. I truly hope to have

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: a new special this year, but sadly I wasn't quite

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: able to put it together in time. I don't want

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: to leave you empty handed, however, so although some of

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: you may have heard these tapes already, for others this

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: will be an entirely new, horrifying experience. It was back

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: in May twenty twenty that the body of Ben Williams

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: was found in his flat on Fountain Road in Tooting,

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: South London. When the police found him, those who saw

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: the state of his body had no doubt he'd been murdered.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: After a thorough investigation, however, the cause of Ben's death

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: was judged unknown and labeled simply death by misadventure. But

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: then they discovered the tapes, an audio diary that Ben

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: had been recording of the pandemic in the months before

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: he died. These are those tapes, raw and unadorned. Make

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: of them what you will. Happy Halloween, and remember, wherever

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: you are, it is always the witching hour. Somewhere testing

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: I think that's working. It's March sixteenth, twenty twenty My

20
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: name's Ben Williams, twenty seven. I live in in Twoting

21
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: in London, and yeah, I just got this audio recorder

22
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: because I thought I might keep a diary of what's

23
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: going on at the moment, basically in the middle of

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: what some people think might be a global pandemic. Yeah,

25
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: it's called coronavirus or coronavirus, and yeah, a lot of

26
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: people have died, so it's got a few names. Actually,

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: it's also called COVID nineteen. There's a big one here,

28
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Severe acute respiratory syndrome. Coronavirus two or SARS CoV two

29
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: is another name. They're saying that it's started in Wuhan.

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: It's a city in China with a like a population

31
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: of something like eleven million people. And I've never heard

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: of it before, but that's like, that's bigger than London.

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of mind blowing in itself. Anyway. Basically,

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: in Italy over two thousand people have died already. It's

35
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of getting about of control there. And in China

36
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: it's over three thousand now or what they're saying anyway,

37
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, here in the UK it's I think we're

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: over fifteen now. Fifty people have died. You know, there's

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: already kind of government campaigns telling people to wash their

40
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: hands loads and you know, like avoid big groups and

41
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: even questioning whether people should fly or like travel anywhere.

42
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I guess that's the first diary entry. Um,

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: it's cool the Health Service comparing notes and talking to

44
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: leaders around the world, and I can tell you that

45
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the UK is now leading a growing global campaign amongst

46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: so I'm just listening now to basically the government started

47
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: doing these live press briefings about the spread of the virus,

48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: which is pretty sobering. So Prime Minister Boris Johnson has

49
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: just been talking about how they think cases might start

50
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: to double every five or six days, and they're saying

51
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: we need to stop all non essential contact. So yeah,

52
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: that's a that's a pretty big deal. I was thinking it,

53
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: maybe putting a diary together of you know, what's been

54
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: going on, and I don't know, maybe if it gets

55
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: a bit serious and it might be quite interesting, maybe

56
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: put it out as a podcast or something. No one's

57
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: going to want to listen to that they might I

58
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: was your dad anyway, Yeah, he's fine, he's busy with work.

59
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's really kind of paying

60
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: much attention to this pandemic stuff. I think he thinks

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not really going to hit us. Yeah, I

62
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think they'll be that bothered about it, to be honest, No,

63
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: not at all. So you know about all this um

64
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: this lockdown stuff, I don't know if it's true, but

65
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, like, if we have to stay inside,

66
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: why didn't you come and stay with me? And what

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: in your haunted flats? It's not haunted? Do you think

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: anything over fifty years old is haunted? But what about

69
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: all those weird noises I always happened here whenever I'm

70
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: staying Yeah, all those weird pipes and mice. We were

71
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: talking about maybe moving in together anyway at some point,

72
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: So a good chance to give it a go when

73
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: it Yeah, I guess let's just wait and see what

74
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: happens with a lockdown, and we're going it actually comes

75
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: into play and then we can make a decision, all right. Yeah,

76
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: I know, who knew the apocalypse is going to be

77
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: all about running out of toilet paper? Yeah? I managed

78
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: to get some rice pasta yeah, and a load of

79
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: cans stuff. Yeah, but should I be washing it? You are.

80
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: What about fruit? Yeah, I've got bananas, some apples. Well,

81
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: I was just gonna use washing up liquid. Yeah, exactly,

82
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. How come you supposed to

83
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: use soap and water on a can, but you can

84
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: just run a banana under the tap nine days? I

85
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: thought it was two days. Where did you read that?

86
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Fuck it, I'm just gonna put soap on the bananas. Yeah,

87
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: all right, quite cheers them. Happy birthday to you, Happy

88
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: birthday to you. Two of our staff members are in

89
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: intensive care and I've been tested, yeah seriously, and they

90
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: tested positive today. So what are you all getting tested?

91
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: What's going on there? There's nothing in place for us,

92
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: which obviously we will have been exposed because they were

93
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: at work last week and then they did start to

94
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 1: feel one well, so they went, you know, went off,

95
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: but then within a few days have ended up intensive care.

96
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But there's nothing. Even the advice when

97
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: we rang, the advice was that you don't have to

98
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: close if you don't want to. But fortunately actually we

99
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: put our staffs, you know, and the children as well

100
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: being before. Yeah. But also over the last three weeks, Yeah,

101
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: we've had quite a few members of staff unwell. But

102
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: this is the thing. If you're not tested, how on

103
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: earth are we to know? Yeah, everything is still so vague,

104
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, personally, I think we've had coronavirus in

105
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the school for over a month, So definitely, if we'd

106
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: closed two weeks ago, yeah, we would have stopped the

107
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: spread because there is no way, especially if we don't

108
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: know about it. So it's Wednesday, March eighteenth today. Normally

109
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: i'd be at work right now, but I've got a

110
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: text last night from my boss just saying don't come

111
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: in today. Obviously everything that's been going on, they just

112
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: felt like closing the cafe was the right thing to do,

113
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and I guess I sort of agree with them. But

114
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: it's a bit worrying. What the what the fun? What's chairman? Chairman?

115
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: You knocked over a glass? It's fine, I understand. I've

116
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: got chairman bla company. Anyway, I like to say, hopefully

117
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: you know it's not gonna be that long. Um. Absence

118
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: makes the heart grow fonder and all that. That's true,

119
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: it does, it does. What's that is that? Is it

120
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: a big be crying in the background? Yeah, yes, been

121
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: crying NonStop pretty much. It's that family next door. Remember

122
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: they've got that little kid. I mean there are kids

123
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: about three. That sounds like a newborn. They're all the

124
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: same money. No, it's quite different really. Nine in the

125
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: UK after testing positive for the viruses, I've gone in there.

126
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I went to the first one, like all the pasta's gone,

127
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: all the rice has gone, bread's gone toil, the paper again,

128
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: all gone. I went to the next one, same, all gone.

129
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: How long's that gonna go on for? Like if more

130
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: people will start panic buying, then all shelves be empty.

131
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like do I have to stop pile?

132
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: But then I'm not supposed to stop pile, because then

133
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: that means there won't be food for everyone else. But

134
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, fuck it, Like if other people are

135
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: stop piling, I don't want to be the one who

136
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to eat. I mean they're saying we

137
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: might be like locked inside. If we're gonna have to

138
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: be staying inside, then obviously you probably don't want to

139
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: be going out if it's that bad. I mean, I

140
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: don't know what they're planning to do, Like you know what,

141
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have the army on the street making sure

142
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: we stay in I mean that can't work, can it.

143
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: What they're going to be dropping food around our houses.

144
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't mind it, like we had rationing

145
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: in the Second World War, and you know there are

146
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: people starving all over the world, but it would just

147
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: be good to have a bit of a sense of

148
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: you know, what's the plan. What are we're supposed to

149
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: be doing here? Because I've just been to the shop

150
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and it feels like that it's going to get stripped

151
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: bare and I can't get a delivery slot on the

152
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: computer because it's all booked up. So yeah, so I'm

153
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: just to be worried about that, a bit worried about

154
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: what's going to happen now buying a supermarket. Patrick's brother

155
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: in law and his family have moved in to protect

156
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: their parents. But where they're staying there, well, we've just

157
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: moved our kids into our bedroom, right, they've given them

158
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: the other two rooms two rooms, right, helpful, I think

159
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: in a way. Yeah, that's really good of you to them,

160
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: and it's good for our kids because then they're being

161
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: amused by their cousins, which is great. Well, you know, well,

162
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: Boris Johnson was saying he's happily he'll happily shape people's hands. Yeah,

163
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean that'll probably come back to So they've told

164
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: him not to come into hospital. Oh shit, So what

165
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: do they think it is? Cancer? Well, how do they

166
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: know that if he's not been in to be checked?

167
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: So why they do this lockdown? Then you're just going

170
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, the cafe was shut, so the job's kind

171
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: of on pause. I guess hopefully it's not for too long. No,

172
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: Is that the one about the guy with all the tigers? No,

Speaker 1: I've not seen it yet, but I'll check it out. Yeah,

174
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe we could do one of those zoom calls. Do

00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: you have that? Yeah, it's just like skype. All right, people,

178
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: was coming, but now it's official, just feels I just

179

Speaker 1: get it. I don't want my parents to get it.

183
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:30,320

207
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: it obviously. I mean I've had to shut the cafe,

208
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: so a love being furloughed. I think, how do you

209
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: think I feel? Then? I'm the one who hasn't got

210
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: a job. How was I supposed to know a fucking

211
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: pandemic was going to start? That is the sound of silence.

212
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: It's so weird. So it's a Thursday in March twenty

213
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: sixth and I've just come outside Tom, I don't know,

214
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I guess see if everyone was doing it and there's

215
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: like nobody here. It's so strange. And listen to that.

216
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: Not a plane in the sky. You see one now

217
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: and it's like the end of twenty eight days later,

218
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, and you're just looking up at this thing

219
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: in complete awe. Well, they're not social distancing. I'm on

220
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: the high street now, and I mean this is even

221
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: more eerie because like, obviously there's a few more people here.

222
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: There's a couple of cars I'm not sure they are

223
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: key workers, but anyway, just crazy. There's like all the

224
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: shop fronts are down. I mean there's like maybe one

225
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: or two people on this whole high street. It's so weird,

226
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: so weird. It's like three people here. I'm surprised it

227
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: not more because it's in a way. You know, if

228
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: you are and allowed out for a bit, this is

229
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: where people are going to come. But I don't know,

230
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: maybe just people being nervous at the moment. M Here

231
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: are the birds. I mean, I don't even maybe you

232
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: could hit that before, but I just I didn't notice

233
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: it so many of them. There's quite a few people jogging,

234
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: um people walking around. But I watch it. Watch that

235
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: meet let's go go around two meters. It just comes

236
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: straight at me. I can see him jogging all the

237
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: way down here, right next to the fence, can't go anywhere,

238
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: and he's practically brushed my shoulder. Just watching the briefing tonight,

239
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: and I've noticed that. So the podiums had changed. So

240
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: before they were just saying, you know, each want to

241
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: like stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives in

242
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of blue and white, which is I guess conservative

243
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: colors now they've changed it so each podium's got like

244
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: one of each color of the sort of main political parties.

245
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: So there's yellow for lived, blue for Conservative, red for labor,

246
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: and it says like stay home in the yellow. Conservatives

247
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: have got protect the NHS and Labor has got saved lives.

248
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a dominant Cummings strategy to try and get

249
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 1: everybody who's watching to think that all the other parties

250
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: are somehow involved in the management of the pandemic, so

251
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: it all goes tits up. Obviously, we won't just blame

252
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: the Conservative Party. That was brilliant. I wasn't sure if

253
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: any one was going to do it, but yeah, like

254
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: the whole street was there. Got kind of be emotional.

255
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: Really just nice to see people outside, isn't it, Because

256
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: he's sort of I know, we're like we are allowed out.

257
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: I've been out, but I'm thinking more about not going

258
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: near people than you know, feeling like I'm with people.

259
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: But tonight it's like properly, you know, got to weigh

260
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: a bit of the neighbors. And yeah, I mean, bloody hell,

261
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: they don't have to deserve it. I mean, what an

262
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: amazing effort, and they're doing it without all the proper

263
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: bloody gear, like how, I mean, how is that even possible?

264
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Should be doing it for the shot workers as well, though,

265
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean turns out who would have thought it that

266
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: these key workers, You know, they might not make the

267
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: millions that CEOs make or what the guy's making the city,

268
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: but the country kind of falls apart without all these

269
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: other jobs that don't superficially look like they're impressive or important. Yeah,

270
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: so we should clap for them as well, or at

271
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: least I hope when this is over. If it is over, ever,

272
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: then you know you won't forget that. I thought i'd

273
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: try and do a bit of baking since everyone else

274
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: is doing it. Um, So I've got the chairman. He

275
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: helped me out. We're making some hot cross buns. Is

276
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: that right, buddy? Is that right? Yeah, they're in the

277
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: oven right now. Actually, I think he looked all right.

278
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: Just check him out, ship Prime Minister. Well that's a

279
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: big story. He's not in the best of shape either,

280
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: so we're that's not good for him. Oh shit, oh

Speaker 1: are still going up. It's just gone up another couple

302
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: of hundred in the last day. We're over two thousand now.

303
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, just got this letter from the Prime Minister

304
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm hoping he hasn't written it himself, because obviously i'd

305
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: have to disinfect it. Then I won't do the voice.

306
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: So I'm writing to you to update you on the

307
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: steps we're taken to combat coronavirus. More we all follow

308
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: the rules, the fewer lives will be lost, and the

309
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: sooner life can return to normal. It is with that

310
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: great British spirit that we will beat coronavirus, and we

311
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: will beat it together. So it's just the British spirit

312
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: really that we need. Don't need any of this other stuff.

313
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: Ppe it's funnier way he's saying about how fewer lives

314
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: will be lost and the sooner life can get back

315
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: to normal, return to normal, because I think normal's gone me,

316
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: isn't it. Maybe this is a moment. It's terrible, it's horrible,

317
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: we're all having to live through it. No one wants

318
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: to be living through this right now. But could this

319
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: be an opportunity to improve things, make things better? In

320
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: a way, it's sort of exposing how what was before

321
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: wasn't actually normal, like what's now is normal. Having a

322
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: virus come in and just completely dismantle all the kind

323
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: of social conventions that we had got used to and

324
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: just sort of took for granted, like a working week,

325
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: a weekend. You know, there's no such thing as Sunday,

326
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: like cosmically, it's just that's what we've given the names

327
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: of the week, so we can plan and keep a diary,

328
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: all important things, being very useful. But at the same time,

329
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: it's funny, isn't it. We keep talking about going back

330
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: to normal. What we mean is going back to the

331
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: fictions and the things that we made up that we

332
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: feel secure being surrounded by. And I wonder if we

333
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: can take this opportunity to in a useful way interrogate

334
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: some of the fictions we had before, like having to

335
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: go to work Monday to Friday nine to five. You know,

336
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe people might realize this something to be gained. There's

337
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: some value in, you know, working from home or being

338
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: able to manage your time differently and in more profound

339
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: ways as well, you know, hopefully you know, it's not

340
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say it's better or worse. It's just

341
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: really different. With flu, you can take a lemsick, you

342
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: can still lie down and rest and stuff. But if

343
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: I've had proper flu, yes, if I've slept a lot

344
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: but I've been able to read a book. This I

345
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: can't even focus on literally lying. I can't sleep. Yeah,

346
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: if feeling horrendous because the first two days I was

347
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: still sort of active and up and about. And then

348
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 1: Patrick said, if you've got this, you need to go

349
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: and like rest, it's probably going to get worse. Are

350
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: you isolating then? I mean it's about avia the house,

351
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, I can't. Basically I'd just lie in

352
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: my bed and at night everyone comes in, but we

353
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: have the windows open, but there's not really anything else

354
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: we could do. Yeah, leveliously, me alone in the day. Really,

355
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: I know they've talked about herd immunity and stuff back

356
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: in there, Oh my god, a few weeks ago and stuff,

357
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: all the messages. I don't go to hospital, and obviously

358
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to hospital because I can breathe. Yeah,

359
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: that's not a problem. But there is no way that

360
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm not passing whatever I have to the rest of

361
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: this household. I think. In fact, Lily hasn't eaten all

362
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: day to day. She's a one year old, so she's

363
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: not well. Yeah, my friend was saying that as well.

364
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: They tried to call one on one and then it

365
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: goes to the COVID line, doesn't it right, Yeah, it's

366
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: just a bunch of people in the room just telling

367
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: people not to go to hospital. Can't they at least

368
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: track people that think they might be ill, but just

369
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: take their address or something. There must be a better

370
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: way to get a sense of where it is. Yeah,

371
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: it's like they've literally got call centers of people just

372
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: telling people not to go to hospital, but then to

373
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: call one one one if you feel really sick. And

374
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: my mate was like, I've just called one one one

375
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: and have come through to you. Yeah, but dad, that's

376
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: not really the point, is it. Well, firstly hasn't stopped

377
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: yet and it's still going up. But also it's a

378
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: false equivalence if you don't take into account what happens

379
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: if we don't do anything. But it could have been

380
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand. So it's not a question of saying

381
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: we could just open everything up and the cost would

382
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: be twenty thousand people, because that's all it's going to die.

383
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: The cost of doing that it could be half a

384
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: million people. So it is that a price worth paying? Yes,

385
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I've lost my job. Yeah, but

386
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: it's not in our hands to dictate whether it's not

387
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: like a war, though you keep saying that it's not

388
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: up to us when the virus decides to call it

389
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: a day. Yeah, we can get a vaccine. Fine, but

390
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be like at least a year. It's

391
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: just going to take time. Jobs are going to be lost,

392
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: the economy is going to be badly affected. I don't

393
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: know why. That's just in the news constantly. Yes, we

394
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: know the economy is going to go down, but on

395
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: the other side of this it will come back again. Yeah,

396
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: But that's the thing. It's not a question of what

397
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: is the best option. We don't know how it's going

398
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: to affect the economy. We don't know how many people

399
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: are going to die. All we know for sure is

400
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,239
Speaker 1: that people are going to die, and if we do

401
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: these measures now, we can save them. If that is

402
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: the only certainty, why is it even a discussion. Well,

403
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just keep hearing his scratches in

404
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: the wall. I'm guessing that's what it is, you know,

405
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: having all this food here. I'm definitely not coming around

406
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: until you but that's started. Yeah, but I don't know

407
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: if it's that for sure. If I could have someone

408
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: around to look at it. I'll call someone in, but

409
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: there's not much I can do at the moment. How

410
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: is your money situation? It's not great. I mean I've

411
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: not heard anything about this furlough business, so just waiting

412
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: on that. Really, Yeah, I don't know. I don't want

413
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: to think about it. Really. What about your dad? Could

414
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: you ask him for Hell, no way, I'm not asking

415
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: him for money, not after last time. Howly, shit, I've

416
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: got one. I've got a delivery slot. Jesus Christ. I've

417
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: been waiting so long for that, right, Well, only took

418
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: me a couple of weeks, but it looks like I've

419
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: got a delivery coming. When is it three weeks time? Brilliant?

420
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: But you know better than nothing? J Christ? What was that? Right?

421
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: So I haven't been wearing them, but I'm definitely seeing

422
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: more people outside with them on, so that's sort of

423
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: making me think maybe I should be wearing them. I

424
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: just don't get the messaging. It's a bit confusing. It's

425
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: on the one hand, they're saying you don't need to

426
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: wear a mask, but please don't buy any masks because

427
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: the NHS staff need them, and so if they need them,

428
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: surely they must do something right, which makes me just

429
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: think it's something to do with it not doing anything

430
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: for you. It's more that they've made such a bloody

431
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: balls up of having the ppe for the NHS workers

432
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: that they're having to basically ask us to risk our

433
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: lives just to cover their own mistakes. I mean, look,

434
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: they do need it more than I do because I'm

435
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: just here. You know, I'm only going out once a day.

436
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: But it clearly does something. I mean, look at the

437
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: far east right, Korea, Vietnam, China, Dale wear masks and

438
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, But have they not handled

439
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: this pretty well? Certainly compared to what we're doing. Anyway,

440
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: I've just done something so bad. I just went to

441
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: put the bins out and I was singing, fucking I

442
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: was singing a Snoop Dog track or something anywhere. I

443
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: look up and there's a fucking hearse in the middle

444
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: of the street, and then I realize they are about

445
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: ten people just standing right there, totally silent. Must have

446
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: heard me rapping when I came out of the house

447
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: all dressed in black, and then the fucking coffin comes out.

448
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. I've not. I think

449
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: it's an old lady lives across the street. I don't know,

450
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: I've never spoken to her, but I imagine it's coronavirus

451
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: on our street. I feel so embarrassed. I'm sure they

452
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: didn't even notice it, but it's just it was just

453
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: weird because it was you know, obviously no one's around,

454
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: so it's just totally silent. I had no idea. That's

455
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: them going off. Now, shit, what you've just volunteered. Sure,

456
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I mean, look, that's that is commendable.

457
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: But I mean you're pretty high risk. You're over seventy

458
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: and you've just had a heart operation. Oh okay, they

459
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: keep you away from the coronavirus patients. But still though

460
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: it's a bit of an epicenter, isn't it for that

461
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: sort of stuff? So when would you find out? Shit? Yeah, no,

462
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm impressed. What's that you go into a

463
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: what you got into a fight? Right? Where were you cycling? Yeah? No, no,

464
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know it. But hang on, what do you

465
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: mean he was black? Yeah? But why did you say that?

466
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with the story, has it.

467
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: It's just a bit racist. Isn't it. You thought he

468
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: was a drug dealer. Well that's even more racist, Dad,

469
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: It is racist, of course it's racist. But Dad, if

470
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: he was a white guy, you wouldn't have said this

471
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: big white guy gone out? So why did you say

472
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: black guy? Yeah, but just think about that. Well, anyway,

473
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: what happened. You obviously didn't beat you up. You scared

474
00:31:45,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: him off. I'm sure he did. H Hello, m fucking

475
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: someone was in here? Will no, no what? Call the

476
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: police and then what they're gonna say? Someone came in

477
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: fucking stats and tints up on the floor. Yeah, just

478
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of the floor. Yeah, but I don't know,

479
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: fucking tell them it's not a fucking ghost. I don't

480
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: know why they would do it. I don't think so.

481
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: I haven't looked. That's not the point. Someone has been

482
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: in the house. No, I'm not going to go you.

483
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: I just called you because I'm scared. Yeah, did you

484
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: see that? Where were they going? God, desert? Yeah, probably

485
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: santrape or something. Yeah, seven men aged forty to fifty

486
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: and three women aged twenty three to twenty five. I

487
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: think there's a bit more to that story. Yeah, exactly,

488
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, same as everyone else. Really, although you'll

489
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: never guess, well you probably will guess. You know Karen

490
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: next door, she's having a bloody barbecue. Yeah, can you

491
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: hear that? Yeah, yeah, it's about four people there. Well,

492
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: she lives on her own. So can you even have

493
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: family though? I don't think so. Yeah I should, But

494
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: no apology Home Secretary for these failings which enny chefs,

495
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: staff and their families blame on the government. Well, I'm

496
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: sorry if people feel that they have I'm sorry if

497
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: you feel they have been failings. Oh, I'm sorry if

498
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: you feel you've died. You've got to be kidding me.

499
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: What the fuck is wrong with these people? The total

500
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: number of coronavirus deaths and UK hospitals has risen above

501
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: ten thousand. That's the thing. They just kicked them out

502
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: of hospital, don't even test them and send them straight

503
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: into a care home in the most at risk group.

504
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah thousands probably HS for saving his life. Yeah, so

505
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: you're doing it then? So when'd you start sterling next week?

506
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: Are you sure it's a good idea? You sound excited

507
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: about it. No, it's good to see you give him back,

508
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, after all your generation have done to ours,

509
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: La Dad, you do realize you didn't actually fight in

510
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: the war, right, because I'm not convinced that you know that. Yeah,

511
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: well I probably would if I was a doctor, but

512
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: i'm not. So what am I supposed to do? I

513
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: have been looking into volunteering. Actually, I'm just getting round

514
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: to it anyway. It doesn't matter if a volunteer now

515
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: or not. The point is we're the ones who are

516
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: getting screwed over right now, so that we can stay

517
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: inside and protect you lot. I'm not saying we don't

518
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: want to do it. I'm happy to do it. I'm

519
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: just saying that, you know, maybe all these people in

520
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: your generation, landlords and whatnot, maybe they can offer to

521
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: drop the rent for a couple of months or something.

522
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: It was most of you like the vote for Brexit, right,

523
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. We don't know if it's going

524
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: to be good or bad. But the point is it's risky,

525
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: isn't it, And it's putting our futures at risk, and

526
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: most of us didn't vote for that. That's all I'm saying.

527
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: April fourteenth, God, I don't even know what day it is.

528
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: I think it's Tuesday. Somebody has been claiming that this

529
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: five G system is somehow contributing to coronavirus deaths, because

530
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: I think it's something to do with it, maybe scrambling

531
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: your DNA. I don't understand how that has got into

532
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: people's imaginations so much that they're burning fucking foaemasks. I

533
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: love a conspiracy theory as much as the next person,

534
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: but you know, I like them because it's fun to

535
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: imagine in a way, but don't go burning fucking foemasks down.

536
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we definitely need them. But also,

537
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: this is the thing about conspiracy theories and this kind

538
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: of conspiracy theory is that, in a weird way, it

539
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: makes people feel more secure to think that there's a

540
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: conspiracy going on, to think that somewhere somebody is manipulating

541
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: all this, you know, some organization in the shadows is

542
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: responsible for the chaos right now. Because although that is

543
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be the thing that scares you people, actually

544
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: I think find the idea of that more reassuring than

545
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: the idea that this shit is just happening. And I

546
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: get that in a way, like you know, it's a

547
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: perfectly human thing to not want to feel scared and

548
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: feel in control. But I don't know, it's just I

549
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: find it crazy. I just think, wouldn't it, in a

550
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: way be better to just accept that this isn't a conspiracy,

551
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: that this is actually how things work. I know, silly

552
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: trying to dig into the logic because there isn't any

553
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: But I just think maybe if there's a way to

554
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: challenge it enough so that it will stop someone burning

555
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: a fucking foam mask down, then I've got to try,

556
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: haven't I Yes, the reckon Is virus might have come

557
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: out of a lab. Is that not just a bit

558
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: of a conspiracy theory? I don't know. I mean, basically,

559
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: there is a virology lab right outside of Wuhan, and

560
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: apparently that's where they've been testing similar things before, So

561
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's a bit of a coincidence. And what

562
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: is the wet market anyway? I don't know. You tell me, well,

563
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hello, Hello, mum, Mum, I can't I

564
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: can't hear you. Gotta put them, Yeah, put the microphone on.

565
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to call you. Oh, there you go. What

566
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: he needs to do their bit, and the way I'm

567
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: doing my bit is by working every ad got to

568
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: every health ministers doing that around the world. But my

569
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: questions he is will he be taking a pay cut

570
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: as he works footballers to do and as the government

571
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: in New Zealand is doing well, I'm not proposing to

572
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: do that. What I am proposing to do is work.

573
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: Oh shit, is that power cut? I can see uh

574
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: lights on the rest of the street, so it must

575
00:38:53,120 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: be refused. Let's have a look, hi, and then are

576
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: you're doing You're right? Yeah, I think it's it's just

577
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: the fuss going to meet always the back of the

578
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: bloody cupboard. H yeah, Oh it's back on. Mhm. That's weird.

579
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: Oh shit, I missed the clap. I can't go out

580
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: now because that's if I go out halfway through, it's

581
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna look like I don't really give a ship. But

582
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: if I don't go out, there could be lots of

583
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: reasons why I haven't done it. Yeah, fuck it, I'm

584
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: hearing it again. That's oh god, oh god, huh chairman,

585
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: Oh god, how did you get in there? No, come on,

586
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: be serious. I was only joking. Well, you know, I

587
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: don't know. It's like the other day, all the doors

588
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: in the house just slam shut. I keep hearing these scratches,

589
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: no idea what they are. I don't think they're mice.

590
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I just need to get out. Yeah,

591
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: you should, it's important to try and get out of it.

592
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: But also, um, I didn't tell you this, but just

593
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: after I moved in, one of the neighbors mentioned something

594
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: about something that happened here once, something something really bad,

595
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: like what. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't

596
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: They didn't say, Well, why didn't you tell me that?

597
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: Because it's probably nonsense and I didn't want to scare

598
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: you off and coming around. Why didn't you try and

599
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: look into it before getting upset? There must be something

600
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: online about it. Hello ones from First Castle. Yeah, hi there,

601
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you can help me. I'm trying

602
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: to find some information about my flat, or like the

603
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: history of my flat, and I just wondered if is

604
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: there any way I can find maybe some information about

605
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: who might have lived there, or maybe some news archive.

606
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: Possibly everything shut because of the pandemic at the moment. Fortunately,

607
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: perhaps you may want to try ancestry dot com. That

608
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: might be a good question to start, all right, Yeah, brilliant,

609
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: Thanks for your help. Okay, all right, cheers, bye bye.

610
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: Delivery from Turkey carrying a large shipment of kids delayed.

611
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: So that's over one hundred NHS staff now died. Oh

612
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: that's mattew Just what do you mean? What about the

613
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: furlough scheme? Isn't that I don't understand. So I haven't

614
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: been there long enough to qualify for it. What difference

615
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: does it make. I've worked there just like anyone else.

616
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: Are you sure there hasn't been some kind of mistake?

617
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to

618
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: go you, but can you have just made something up? Well?

619
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: Is there even going to be a job at the

620
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: end of this? I haven't really found anything, so I've

621
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: just put some requests on forums and stuff. Hopefully someone

622
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: will get back to me about it. Oh, yeah, that

623
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: sounds interesting. I'm a little bit nervous about what it

624
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: might be, but yeah, trying not to think about it

625
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: too much. I'm not willing to one hundred percent say yeah,

626
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: I think schools should open because we'll all be fine,

627
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: because it's simply not true. Yeah, and although yes, statistically

628
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: it's really loved well. Having said that, some of our

629
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: staff are staff, well, quite frankly, they should not have

630
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: to come into work because the percentage of them being

631
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: ill and dying, right is significantly higher, and they shouldn't

632
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: be punished I made any thought about that, Absolutely not,

633
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be punished for that, or villa fight

634
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: for that. That's the things like can't they do it

635
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: so that it's much more of an open, honest conversation

636
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: than it's like, right, I'm not joking. I think someone's

637
00:43:45,480 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: in the house. Nice mm hmm, yeah, that's that's footsteps.

638
00:44:08,040 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, huh hello, hull hello, h m hm.

639
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: But when I went through to the kitchen, the back

640
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: door was open. What so have your fun the police

641
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: to say what someone walked into my house and then

642
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: left the door open. I mean, I don't even know

643
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: they can come around? Can they? At the moment, nothing

644
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: was stolen. I mean someone came into your flat. You

645
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: need to cold leaves. It doesn't matter if they take

646
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: something or not. Look, are you sure you didn't leave

647
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: it open in the day? Definitely didn't leave open. I'm sorry.

648
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm just so fucking tired of the news and just

649
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: constantly reading the news. But this virus recession, fucking endless lockdown.

650
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: You don't seem like you're getting a lot of sleep.

651
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: Maybe you should speak to someone like a therapist. Why

652
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: don't you sho show the NHS help plane. Right, So,

653
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: as you know, I put a request out on one

654
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: of those forums and it looks like someone's got back

655
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: to me, which is great. Just having a look now

656
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: to mister Williams, this might be of some interest. Okay,

657
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:43,959
Speaker 1: thank you, Roger. The challenges facing the government, holy shit,

658
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: you're fucking kidding me right? Are you ready for this? Yeah?

659
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: So this is from eighteen ninety five the Tooting tragedy.

660
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: Tooting was on March seventh, the scene of one of

661
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: the most terrible tragedies that have occurred in London for

662
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: many years. It resulted in the death by suicide of

663
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: a man named Frank Taylor, a plasterer of Fountain Road.

664
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: But wait, after he murdered his wife, Martha, and six

665
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: of his children, including newborn baby George Shire eldest child,

666
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: Frank Taylor survived. What follows is best described by the

667
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: surviving boy who made this statement. At about five thirty

668
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: in the morning, I was in the back bedroom with

669
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters when I heard my mother scream

670
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: out murder. Then followed the sound of a heavy thud

671
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: on the floor of the front bedroom. Immediately afterwards, Father

672
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: come into our room, where in addition to myself, there

673
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: were my brothers and sisters, Maggie aged thirteen, Annie eleven,

674
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Florrie seven, Freddie five, Willie three, and George three months.

675
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: On entering the room, Father said, oh, Frank, where are you?

676
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 1: I replied, I'm here. Father. He then, without saying another word,

677
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,959
Speaker 1: seized me by the throat with his left hand, cut

678
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: me on the right side of the throat and on

679
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: both my hands and left arm with some sharp instrument,

680
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: which I now know to have been a razor. At

681
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: the time, all the other children were screaming, and my

682
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: father then left the room. I managed to crawl into

683
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: a corner, and almost immediately afterwards Father came back and

684
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: commenced cutting the throats of my brothers and sisters. He

685
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: did them all except Florrie, and he then fell backwards

686
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: on the floor and moaned. He got up soon afterwards

687
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: and went into mother's bedroom, and I heard him sharpening

688
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: the razor. He then came back and cut Florrie's throat,

689
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: and immediately after stumbled back into his own room and exclaimed,

690
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: Oh Lord, and then he moaned, for are we over

691
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: twenty thousand. Now at some level that has to be

692
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: mistakes made by the government. Surely it's not about blaming.

693
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm not just blaming for the sake of it. It's

694
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: about what they are blaming them for. Yeah, but if

695
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: you can't scrutinize the decisions they're making and the consequences

696
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: of those decisions, then what's the bloody point of any

697
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: of it? Why have an election at all? Exactly? Can

698
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: you imagine if it was Corbin in charge. If they're

699
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: not handling it well, then isn't that reflective of them

700
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: not being able to govern? Very well? No, Dad, you're

701
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: the snowflake, if you're the one getting upset. How can

702
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: it possibly be doing a good job If the only

703
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: measure of the job they're doing is whether people are

704
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: dying or not. By that measure, people are definitely dying

705
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: at a much worse rate than in other countries. You

706
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: can't just say that's what the science says. There are

707
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: lots of scientists saying lots of different things. What they

708
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: mean is that's what some scientists were saying, that's the

709
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: scientific advice they chose to latch onto. What's that got

710
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 1: to do with China. I don't live in China. And also,

711
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: can you stop saying China. It's not all of China,

712
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: it's just the Chinese government. Yeah, I saw that Norman Hunter.

713
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: You're always talking about him. He's a bit older than you, though,

714
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: wasn't he. I can announce that we have met our goal.

715
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: The number of tests yesterday, on the last day of

716
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: April was one hundred and twenty two. Yeah. But did

717
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: you hit the target or did you just fudge it

718
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: a bit to make it look like you did. I mean,

719
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: to be fair, you've got to set a target. I mean,

720
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 1: if you hadn't set a hundred thousand, then you wouldn't

721
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: have got anywhere near it. But just say it, Just

722
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: say you didn't get one hundred thousand. But you've done

723
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: a great job, to be honest, I think people will

724
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 1: be happy with that, the testing capacity that we've built.

725
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: Official statistics show that UK has now recorded the highest

726
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: number of deaths linked to coronavirus in Europe. In England

727
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: and Wales, almost a quarter happened in care homes, where

728
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: deaths are still rising. I've decided not to join in

729
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: the clap tonight. Maybe that's wrong. I don't know, I

730
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: mean starting to feel a little bit like, you know,

731
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: this is drawing attention away from the fact that these

732
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: people shouldn't have to put their lives on the line

733
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 1: like this, they are heroes. I've been reading a bit

734
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: about you know what NHS staff are saying that you know,

735
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: they're not heroes and and all that, and that you

736
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: know what they really need is financial support. And you know,

737
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: next time there's a vote for a bloody nurse's pay rise,

738
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: maybe that that could be voted for now, and that

739
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: the clap is somehow kind of cloud in that issue

740
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: and drawing attention away from the fact that they've been

741
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: woefully under funded and not given support, not given the

742
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: protection that you know, National Health Service is entitled to.

743
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get political. It's not about

744
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,439
Speaker 1: right or left or who's good and who's bad. It's

745
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: like there are good people and bad people in each side.

746
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: And how do we know how it might have been

747
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: handled by someone else, It might have been worse. We

748
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: just don't know. But it's just one thing after another

749
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: of this Ppe was supposed to be getting flown in

811
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: him for a couple of days now. Hello, Yeah, hi, um, look,

812
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't even know who I need to speak to

813
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: here or how this might work. But I really need

814
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: to talk to someone about about this thing. Yeah, of

815
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:55,080

816
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: not a regular at all. Um. I don't think I've

817
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: ever been to church, to be honest, Well, basically, I

818
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: think my house might be haunted. And I just thought

819
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: maybe you guys, you know, if you believe in God,

820
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: then maybe you believe in this other stuff. Look, I'm

821
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: not putting your leg honestly, Well all sorts. Really, things

822
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: have been breaking. I'm hearing strange noises, there's this baby

823
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: crying all the time, and and the other day I

824
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: think it seemed like someone had been in the house.

825
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I live on my own. Is there any

826
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: chance that someone maybe could come out, maybe the vicara

827
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: or something. I just don't know what to do, and

828
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: I just thought, I don't know, maybe someone could do

829
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: an exorcism or something. We don't. I don't think a

830
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: zoom consultation is going to cut it, to be honest, Look,

831
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: just just just forget about it. It's fine. I'm sorry

832
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: to bother you, all right, mum, Yeah, no, I'm fine. Yeah, obviously,
