| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:14.0 | Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you. |
| 0:20.0 | Try and be a little bit more, not conversational. That's not quite the right word. What's the word I'm searching for today? I want to have chats rather than debates, at least to start with. Because if I said to you, pick between a rock and a hard place, that's not really a debate, is it? It's an invitation to have a conversation about which is the lesser of two evils. In this case, Dominic Cummings |
| 0:40.8 | and Boris Johnson, because the former has revealed more evidence of the latter's absolute |
| 0:46.8 | abnegation of anything remotely resembling a sense of duty in the context of tackling the |
| 0:51.1 | coronavirus. So that would be the moral corruption. Then, of course, |
| 0:54.8 | you have the incompetence that is now writ large across our islands and most obviously and most |
| 1:00.8 | recently in the context of opening up the clubs at midnight yesterday and a few hours later |
| 1:07.6 | announcing that actually come September, you're going to need proof that you've |
| 1:11.6 | had two vaccinations, two jabs before you can go into a club. We'll try and work that one out in a way |
| 1:17.5 | that once again, we'll at least pay lip service to the notion that it isn't just a complete skipfire. |
| 1:24.3 | And if it's not safe to go into a club without two jabs in September, how can it be safe to go into a club without two jabs tonight? |
| 1:34.4 | You see? |
| 1:35.3 | And I think we've all probably reached a point now where we stop thinking, maybe we're missing something here. |
| 1:41.0 | Do you know what we are? |
| 1:41.6 | Do you know what our problem is? |
| 1:42.8 | Too nice. |
| 1:44.1 | That's our problem. Keep thinking, oh, it? Do you know what our problem is? Too nice. |
| 1:47.9 | That's our problem. Keep thinking, oh, it can't be as bad as it looks. Too optimistic, too upbeat. Keep thinking, well, don't be ridiculous. You remember the flesh-coloured body stocking? I spent most of last year wanging on about. Actually, it was a year before. It was pre-COVID, wasn't it, the flesh-coloured body stocking. It was the idea that people still insisting that the |
| 1:43.1 | B word was going to be a brilliant thing could possibly be aware of things that the rest of us |
| 1:47.4 | couldn't see. And now you've got Lord Frost standing up in public and saying, that deal I told you was brilliant. Oh, it's awful. But I blame the other lot. Incredible scenes unfolding all around us. So the incompetence on the question of how it can be a good idea not to let people into nightclubs without two jabs in September, |
| 2:19.6 | but a great idea to let people into nightclubs without two jabs tonight. We'll try and wriggle our way through that one. |
