| 0:00.0 | Guys, I honestly could not believe this at first. I thought it was some sort of |
| 0:04.3 | quite clumsy satire to be honest with you, but you know what, these are irredeemably bleak times. |
| 0:08.9 | The world has well and truly gone to pot and I welcome any comic relief just as a little treat, |
| 0:14.0 | just to break up the misery. So let me thank my heart, the conservative party, |
| 0:19.3 | our blessed party of government for providing a little bit of humour to lighten the mood. |
| 0:23.6 | Now I know some of you like really are in the Tories, just because they've overseen the worst |
