After a dismal week of standards in politics I decide to chat to brilliant Scottish comic Mark Nelson. We looks at where he's been on his journey with Scottish independence and deal with his shock at how small Rishi Sunak is. Mark also gives us his take on Lockdown North of the border.
You'll be pleased to know there are more letters on the vexed wife farting issue.

0:07.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 60 of what most people think. How has your week been? |
0:18.5 | What a week it's been in politics, hey? Andy Burnham has become the new king of the north, isn't he? |
0:24.8 | All you've got to do basically is be the king of the north, evidently, |
0:28.1 | is tell Boris to fuck off. |
0:29.8 | He became like sort of like a Mancunian braveheart, didn't he? |
0:34.8 | Fuck off, all right, we just want our our freedom that's all we want in the sunshine |
0:40.4 | sorry it had to be done it had to be done i gotta be honest man i got a bit fed up with politics |
0:45.7 | generally this week they they're all been playing politics haven't they all of it apart from |
0:50.5 | the lib Dems who would love a go wouldn't they they? Please, can we play some politics, please? |
0:54.9 | And listen, we've got a guest this week. We've got a guest. And I don't want to duck out of the politics completely, but I just wanted to talk to somebody because I had one of those weeks, I've done about you, where just everybody was pissing me off, you know. And I felt like a lot of the narratives were kind of a bit performative. |

1:16.7 | continue, you know. And then we have this free act play on social media where everyone acts |
1:21.7 | like those things weren't going to happen. Oh yeah, we had Angela Rainer calling a Tory politician scum. And you kind of think, look, I think it's possible to both think that maybe the government should have extended a free school meal thing. And then similarly, maybe don't call other people scum in Parliament. You know what I mean?

1:44.5 | You know what I mean? |
1:45.0 | Like, it would have been said, well, because their right-wing, it's some sort of incitement to violence or something. But if anyone looks like they could actually beat the shit out of somebody, it's Angela Rainer. Well, this is what most people think. You know, this is coming from the revolutionary point of view. but maybe both Boris and Andy Burnham were acting like Dix. |
1:42.7 | You know, the fact that Andy Burnham is likable doesn't mean that he's always right. People are Twitter like, yeah, Andy Burnham's my guy.
