| 0:00.0 | Good morning. It's three minutes after 10 and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. |
| 0:05.6 | I don't expect you to curtsy. Just so you know today, you can, yeah, I know that you normally |
| 0:12.7 | like to doff a little cap or tug a full lock at the wireless when I begin my morning address, |
| 0:18.2 | but probably take a moment to reflect upon how many people were |
| 0:21.9 | supremely comfortable with Boris Johnson sending Jacob Rees-Mogg to Balmoral to actually |

| 1:18.2 | by matters royal but because it's important to highlight absolutely irrefutable absurdity and |
| 1:25.4 | hypocrisy even if we find it uncomfortable, even if me pointing out |
| 1:30.2 | that one human being bowing or curtsying to another human being entirely because of |
| 1:35.4 | accidents of birth is absolutely bonkers, it offends. I could muster up a degree of offence myself |
