| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
| 0:09.5 | Three minutes after ten is the time. |
| 0:12.1 | It is quite remarkable to hear people who are threatened to pick up a rifle and don't carkey |
| 0:17.4 | in the event of their unicorns not arriving, complaining about people, setting up |
| 0:22.6 | gazebos and eating vegan food on London bridges in order they believe to safeguard the future |
| 0:29.5 | of the planet. But Britain has become a very strange place over the last few years and I suspect |
