| 0:00.0 | So this week the National Conservatism Conference has been taking place and who buy it is quite |
| 0:06.4 | the ride, easy to dismiss this as a freak show, you'll see what I mean in a moment, do a drop |
| 0:11.1 | the race position, rather than a chilling insight into both our future and what alarmingly our future. |
| 0:17.5 | Now for those who don't know what I'm actually talking about here, this is a hard-right jamboree |
| 0:21.9 | attempted by speakers offering a tree smogersbord of extreme and gruesome opinion, some of whom I'm |
| 0:27.9 | afraid to say are actually running the country. Now what I'm going to do is share some snippets from |

| 1:33.2 | It all came from a recognition that there was a problem with nationalism in a German context. |
| 1:39.2 | And that is simply a historical fact, but I see no reason why every other country in the world |
| 1:50.4 | should be prevented from feeling pride in itself because the Germans mocked up twice in a century. |
| 1:57.2 | The Germans mocked up twice in a century. Mucked up. |
| 2:07.2 | Interesting to her phrase that, isn't it? Mucked up is normally a term you hear used for, |
