| 0:00.0 | So what happened, mate? They didn't like something that appeared on my Facebook page. Do you know what happened with that Facebook post? I really don't. I said I didn't put it there and they wanted to investigate my phone. I decided it might not be the greatest idea to give my phone to a company that's been known to hack phones. They wanted access to bits of my phone that I didn't think I should be able |
| 0:21.0 | to look at. As soon as I started talking to lawyers, they were like, don't give them your phone |
| 0:24.8 | under any circumstances. I speak to people who are moving out of London now because London |
| 0:30.2 | to them has become unrecognisable. It's different because it is now full of people from somewhere |
| 0:34.9 | else. And it didn't used to be. And the difference for me with New York and London was that all of the immigration in New York |
| 0:42.0 | was people who wanted to be American in London and in other parts of Britain. |
| 0:46.2 | We've got these communities which are not British and they don't want to be British. |

| 0:55.9 | Rolston College students and professors in Greece, and learning about the roots of Western |

| 1:25.6 | From there, it continues in Savannah, Georgia, with small, serious seminars on the most important works of the Western tradition, starting with Homer. From there, it continues in Savannah, Georgia, |
| 1:27.9 | with small, serious seminars on the most important works of the Western canon. Ideas are tested |
