leading britain's conversation this is a podcast from lbc james o'brien i know what you're thinking

every hour's a mystery hour at the moment long way it continue it gives us plenty to get our

collective teeth into but this is a mystery or mysteries plural of a rather more palatable and indeed

gentle um nature you have i just locked myself out of the studio if you wonder if rather more palatable and indeed gentle nature.

You have...

I just locked myself out of the studio,

if you're wondering why I'm out of breath.

Very, very close to a career first of not being here when the lights came back on.

I know that you have somewhere inside your mind,

somewhere in the back of your brain,

a question to which you would really like to find an answer. It may be that the question has been praying on your

mind for months, years, decades, it may be something the kids have said to you recently,

that you've been unable to answer. Or it may just be something that occurs to you in the course

of the next sort of 54 or 55 minutes. The point is this. Somebody else listening to this program will know the answer,

and they'll know it because they know stuff.

They're not going to Google it or look it up or anything like that.

They're going to know stuff.

And it was really interesting the last sort of half an hour, wasn't it,

talking to students and recognising that even lads like Philip, who were on the march, recognise now that the terms and conditions

of the graduate loans of the student loans are generally favourable. It was one of my first

political moments, actually, when I was working in menswear, I told

you this. And there's a fellow I didn't get on with very well. He was quite a lot older than me.
