0:00.0 | Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning to you. |
0:03.8 | Mary London, it's not a joke. He really is in the studio. Welcome. It's been a while. Good morning, James. Nice to be here again. We should begin with the remarkable events of last weekend, I suppose. Your thoughts on Kidamister Harry is thumping Kings Lynn four won away and securing their place in the National League North Playoff finals against Brackley Town on Sunday. |
0:21.0 | Well, I thought you were going to talk about Liverpool's sixth victory |
0:23.3 | in a row against, you know, Enfield on a Saturday. |
0:27.9 | But it's been a busy weekend. |
0:28.9 | No, the big stories matter. |

1:38.8 | not just those members of Republic, but also the arrests of those volunteers who work with Westminster Council. I think it's right. The police have apologized to those arrested members of Republic. There |
1:45.7 | are still questions I have of the police and it's right and proper. What sort of question? |
1:51.3 | Well, I know, for example, the Republic did everything they're supposed to do in relation to |
