| 0:00.0 | Welcome to blog and May blog from Doug Wales. |

| 0:17.0 | Unforgiven sin is the key to understanding modern politics. |
| 0:24.0 | December 18th, 2019. |
| 0:27.0 | Introduction. |

| 1:40.4 | full height in that Soviet wall mural art sense, acting as though we were moral |
| 1:45.3 | and undertake our righteous cause for the motherland. We stare off into the middle distance, |
