Hello, it's the Lucan Beach Show.

Hello, Mother.

Hello, Mother.

Um, yes, we're back again.

We're doing this once more.

For you, the people who are out there, just enjoying their lives.

And, uh...

Are they enjoying their lives if they're listening to this? I don't know. I think some of the things we've spoken about, some of the afflictions we've spoken about and, you know, the things we've had happened to our persons recently, I think it's cathartic. Oh, someone's always got it worse than you. That's what I'm doing. Someone's always going to, yeah, exactly.

That's funny.

I'm getting involved. Yeah. Funny. I, what do you make of this? This will separate the wheat from the chaff. What do you make of this? I mean, obviously, we're recording this to advance because of various pressures on our time. Very much. By which I mean, you're going on holiday. but what what You're busy as well. You always do this. When you're aware, it's not your problem. When I'm aware, big problems. I am a lot of there. Yeah, I know you are. So it might be out of date by the time he's coming around.

Yeah, but it's like fucking Boris or Farage were in charge. Jesus Christ, we'd be conscripted by now. I told you if Farage is in trouble because of the Folklands thing, isn't he? He is. He's in an absolute mess. Um, and so, yeah, I, I, I can't

see him falling on, on his sword. Like, that, that would sort of betray some kind of human

emotion. I think he's too, he's too grey to do something that interesting. Yeah, he's too, yeah. It would create too many headlines. Yeah,

because the reason I'm saying that, by the way, just to put a final point on it, is because

he either did know that Manderson failed the vetting or he didn't. Yeah. Either way, it's bad.

It just feels like it just, what do you mean? I said, yeah, well, if you don't know about it, if you failed, if you didn't, if you didn't know that he failed the vet,

vetting, how can you possibly, well, you should know. That's your, yeah, but that's your, that's a system that you presume, you just presume as a busy prime minister, But it's been alleged that he forced,

he forced,
