| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:14.1 | Hello, three minutes after ten is the time. I hope you're doing. Okay, today, questions, questions. |
| 0:20.3 | We'll be looking in a moment at whether or not it feels fair to offer university places or offer some priority with this year's university places to students from poorer backgrounds. I always struggle with the right words. It sounds a bit Victorian, doesn't it, poorer, humbler, less advantaged. That's a nice way of putting it. |
| 0:38.2 | So, so, or if you want to bring it down to class, middle class kids take a year off, but they |
| 0:43.6 | weren't initially planning to do so that more places can be freed up for children from, from, |
| 0:49.8 | I would nearly say, the lower orders. That had really turned the Victorian paradigm on its head. |
| 0:55.2 | So we'll get stuck into that shortly. |

| 1:24.1 | And the simple question of whether they have to extend the deadline here, because |
| 1:29.3 | people who haven't been able to work have not been able to pay rent. The problem then, of course, |
| 1:34.5 | becomes, and if there is a difficult job in the world, it would be to presumably landlords |
| 1:40.2 | associations and what have you are, throwing money at all the dark, dodgy think tanks and lobby groups that we so routinely |
| 1:48.3 | refer to on this program because my goodness me, you wouldn't take that job, would you? |
| 1:52.7 | Won't someone think of the landlords? |
