Hello and welcome to this week's episode of what most people think and well the political diet has been set for the next few months, hasn't it really?

Stimer hold up, really hanging on in there. Burnham out, campaigning. He's out there, street in out there also campaigning,

throwing in little curveballs as well, like bringing up Brexit and the EU. And speaking of

Europe, returning, making a very welcome return, is Ian Moore, a man in France. How are you doing,

mate? Yes, bonjour, welcome from the continent.

Thanks for playing up to the part there that you realised I was angling at.

Oh, yeah, honi-ho-h-h-h-ha.

I thought I was supposed to speak French at this point.

We always obsessed, particularly in kind of like middle-class circles that the Europeans are laughing at us when we're going through these kind of political upheavals.

Is that happening or people just sort of come to expect that of the UK now?

I think that everybody has their own problems. I don't think the French are in any

fit state at the moment to be laughing at anybody else's upheavals. I think they did when

Johnson was in charge. I actually did a, I was,

I was interviewed for a documentary in France about Johnson, which in the end, it came out just after

he resigned. And they thought that Johnson was just this buffoon, you know, just this

unserious character. And in French politics, you have to just this unserious character.

And in French politics, you have to be a serious character.

It's about the dignity of the office as much as anything.

But did you have to explain to them that he was indeed a buffoon?

Everybody knew his buffoon, and that's what we liked about him.

Yeah, I mean, I didn't add the liked about him a bit because I't, I didn't feel that myself. So, you know, there's that kind of, there's an odd, there's an odd, always been an odd relationship between France and the UK, but they're not laughing at the moment. I think everybody's just going, you know, Zutalor. We've got our own problems. So go on, make us feel better then with some of the headlines of your own problems.

Well, Macron is just a, he's just a lane duck, really.
