Summary

After our usual catch-up, I speak to brilliant comic Tania Edwards. This was a surprisingly intense but worthwhile chat. Tania is very angry at a lot of what is happening with Covid restrictions. Unusually for a comic, she's got the research to back it up. Have a listen. Do you agree? 

As well as the serious stuff I rinse Starmer for being crap at autocue and there's some fun in the letters.

Hello and welcome to episode 56 of What Most People Think.

0:17.3

That might be the last time that you hear that, that theme tune. We might be going down to the lockdown theme tune. Who knows, man? I'm recording this on Thursday, the whatever fucknuckle of September, 24th of September. And, well, you know, Boris did his little speech. And I just want to know something, man, right? Tell me this. Who are the people that when you gov call are saying that they want the pubs to shut? Because I've seen some polling this week, and it upset me, man. I am patriotic. I think the British people, there's a lot to be proud of there. But when I see a majority of young people wanting the pubs to shut, I think, Jesus, I don't even know. it's clear. I think from some of the things I've seen this week and how many people are pro

restrictions on some level that maybe I'm in the minority in this one.

1:00.2

I cannot call the podcast what most people think on this occasion.

1:04.4

I have to call it what a few of us think that are willing to speak about in public,

1:09.0

but what most people silently think

1:10.8

and only say when YouTube ring them. I mean, what has become of this country? I sound like

1:16.6

a Remainer. I just, I just feel like I don't even know this country anymore. This is not,

1:20.9

these are not the values that I hold dear about Britain. It just feels like some people just want

1:25.6

to be, if you said to some people, do you want to be sort of tucked up in a giant hamster ball until 2024, they go, yeah, yeah. And be fed like, fucking intravenously, you know, because obviously you don't want the risk of having to go outside for food. Yes. Could you also tell Matt Hancock to stop... People keep saying to him, but like the press are just playing with, aren't they?

1:46.4

It's like cat and mouse, but they just go, so, Matt, are you saying that students might have to spend Christmas alone in their universities?

1:54.0

And he's like, look, I'm not ruling it out.

1:55.9

Do you think students will have to eat their own feces because there's such a solid lockdown that none of the shops are open. Look, I'm not ruling out students eating their own shit to survive. Just dodge the question,

2:06.6

Matt. You dodge the questions that you, that you shouldn't dodge. But those ones, you can just say,

2:12.0

look, come on, man, but we're doing this on a play by play basis. Can I just, you're talking about

2:16.1

December there, for fuck's sake.

2:14.1

Just on a quick note, the tour, tour dates are going ahead. I keep saying it, my tour dates are socially distanced. Arguably, I would say too much, looking at the floor plan. You're going to have my tour, you're going to have extra leg room. Have you ever been jealous of those easy jet people that but not the easy job.

2:16.7

You know the ones that pay for the extra bit of legroom at the front?

2:34.5

Well, you're going to have that legroom. Have you ever been jealous of those easy jet people that are not the easy jet?

2:50.9

You know the ones that pay for the extra bit of legroom at the front? Well, you're going to have that and then some at my tour venues. And they are going ahead. They're coming up. I've got one this Sunday, the 27th in Canterbury. Then I've got Worthing coming up in October. I've got Lemonton Spire. I think that's having to move back a week, I think, but it is going ahead.
