0:06.0	Good morning and welcome to the independent republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV.
0:10.6	It is, believe it or not, the third anniversary of the day that Boris Johnson announced that the COVID lockdown would begin and would begin immediately.
0:20.3	It's a strange one, isn't it?
0:21.6	Because I woke up this morning, I heard the words that he spoke all 17 seconds of it,
0:26.6	and suddenly thought, my goodness, it doesn't seem like three years.
0:30.6	It doesn't seem at all like that sort of time has passed.
0:33.6	But how much has changed in this country?

1:35.6	Things have changed, and some things may never be the same.
1:36.8	So we're going to talk about that.
1:38.9	Isabel Oakshot is here, talk to his international editor.

1:44.8	We'll also talk about Boris Johnson and what happened yesterday, which I still maintain was a colossal waste of public money and time. I know
