| 0:00.0 | So Dominic, what's the state of the UK right now? |
| 0:03.9 | Well, the UK and the world, I think, is in a really interesting, really interesting place. |
| 0:09.2 | And it's like we're at a, I wouldn't say we're at a crossroads because we've already chosen which path we're going down. |
| 0:13.7 | So I wrote a book in 2011, 2012 called Life After the State. |
| 0:18.6 | And the central argument of that book is that the state, you can look at |
| 0:22.4 | almost any economic injustice in society, any problem in society. And almost inevitably, |

| 1:07.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:08.0 | Even more so. Even more so. I mean, people may moan about what social media is doing, but we are all on social media all the time and we love Twitter and Facebook and whatever it is. And obviously one is supplied by the free market for profit and the other is supplied by government and the taxpayer pays. And so I, with that thought in mind, I basically made the argument that anything the state touches turns to crap, |
| 1:28.7 | and we're better off with the private sector providing everything, and we're better off with |
| 1:32.8 | as little state as possible in our lives. So I made the argument for much lower taxes, |
