All right, Alexander, let's revisit the topic of the UK and the UK economy as well as the

situation with Prime Minister Stommer.

Where are we with the UK and with Kier Stomber in his position as Prime Minister?

Well, let's just quickly talk about the economy.

We did a recent program about the budget, the British government's budget.

Originally, in the days after it was published, it was hailed as a success for the government.

I knew it wouldn't last. It didn't last.

Already people are becoming increasingly critical about it. They're saying

that the budget has made the overall situation in the economy worse for all the reasons that

we said in our program, that it's raising taxes to plug holes in the budget, holes which the

government itself is creating through all the

various policies that it's undertaking, including the one of continuing to support Ukraine

and to support the war. So the economy continues to spiral down. And I think I mentioned in an earlier program, I was on a railway

trip to Scotland and the way in which it was an absolute nightmare. And it demonstrated the essential

collapse of the infrastructure collapse across Britain that you now see, and I'll say a bit more about that

in a moment. So, anyway, that's the overall bigger economic picture. Now, over the last

couple of days, I had to travel out of London again. I went to Oxford, to be precise,

because I had an urgent need to. But it meant that this time I was driving, and I was driving

through a lot, in fact, quite a large section of the English countryside around Oxford. And one thing I noticed immediately

is that in every single village I drove through, you saw everywhere now English flags,

the St George's flag is appearing. It's something which I noticed before when I traveled out of London in the summer to go

to the West country.
