| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:14.6 | Three minutes after ten, I knew it as soon as I said it. I don't know. |
| 1:28.1 | It's like a form of, oh, I don't know. It's like a form of verbal incontinence. I hear the words coming out of my mouth. I forget for a nanosecond that I'm live on the radio. And then I say, oh no, that's your inbox absolutely scoobyed for the rest of the morning. I've always said segue, always, always, always. And then I think I got a mean text last week, which sort of said, oh, I can't believe that's how you're pronouncing it. It is segue. It always has been segue. And everyone else can get knotted. Segway. Segway till I die. Morning, by the way. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I hope you are recovered from last night's celebrations. I can't get used to it. Can you get used to it? It's not like watching it. I don't have the sort of emotional vocabulary. I know it's the third major tournament on the trot where we have defied decades. I suppose going back to the Bobby Robson era, isn't it? The last time we actually sort of looked like a team that might go the distance when Gary Linneker won the actual golden boot at a major championship final. But I can't get used to it. You're watching it thinking, yeah, we could easily get done by Senegal. We could easily, oh, 2-0 up, never mind, Don't take anything for granted. It's England, after all. |
| 1:28.9 | And it's still not. |
| 1:29.9 | I wonder how long it takes. |
| 1:32.2 | It's the sort of thing Malcolm Gladwell's probably written about. |
| 1:43.9 | How many experiences do you have to enjoy that are contrary to the formative experiences of your first three or four decades on this earth before you can actually adopt the new normal, as it were? |
| 1:47.3 | But hey-ho, roll on saturday night um and matt hancock unfortunately remains in our thoughts and and indeed in the news sold his diaries now |
| 1:54.7 | i mean it is a tireless campaign isn't it to sort of rehabilitate himself himself or relaunch a career outside the world of politics. |
| 2:04.5 | I'd be surprised if he runs again. As he announced that he isn't yet, I'd be surprised. I think |
| 2:09.2 | they're supposed to announce it by today or tomorrow. We'll catch up with Theo O'Shawood about that a little later. |
| 2:14.5 | But I thought we'd look at care homes this morning. And it's really important. |
| 2:18.6 | There is an inquiry on the way. |
| 2:20.6 | And I worry that we live in a country now, or certainly in an era. |
| 2:25.1 | And you may well hear what I'm about to say and conclude that we always have. |
| 2:29.2 | And it's just me being a bit naive or a bit ignorant to think that we ever lived in a society where the |
| 2:34.7 | relationship between actions and consequences was a bit clearer than it is now. But I think of |
| 2:39.8 | people like John Profumo. I think of people like Cecil Parkinson. They were both involved in |
| 2:46.4 | sex scandals and the consequences were profound and far reachingreaching. And then you sort of think of someone |
| 2:52.7 | like Gerald Ratner, perhaps, in the world of business, who did nothing particularly immoral |
| 2:58.0 | or illegal, or nothing remotely immoral or illegal, but the consequences for his actions, when he |
| 3:04.3 | described some of his own product line in the most fruity of terms were immense |
