| 0:00.0 | Good morning. I hope that you are flourishing today. I'll begin, if I may, with a quick nod back to yesterday's program, where we spent the best part of two hours taking some of the most powerful and important calls I've ever had the pleasure of listening to in the context of the murder conviction of the police officer who murdered George Floyd. The idea that we, I think, generously accommodated that you could |
| 0:22.5 | honestly and in good faith struggle with the concept of institutional racism or not know |
| 0:27.8 | what it is or perhaps not even believe that it exists. I think that there is a story in the |
| 0:32.8 | news today that should remove any honest attempts to claim that you don't understand what it is or you don't |
| 0:39.1 | believe what it is from the public space because 350,000 black and Asian soldiers who died |
| 0:45.1 | fighting for the British Empire were not commemorated by name Parliament will here today. |
| 0:52.5 | The Commonwealth Wargraves Commission issuing a formal apology |
| 0:56.3 | after it discovered at least 100, at least 116,000, mainly African and Middle Eastern First |
| 1:02.4 | World War casualties may not be commemorated by name or at all. And the reason why this never |
| 1:09.3 | happened was pervasive racism. So that's institutional |
| 1:14.2 | racism. There you go. An institution that is riddled with pervasive racism. You may have read or |
| 1:19.9 | heard people claim that they don't know what institutional racism is because surely only people |
| 1:24.3 | can be racist. But there it is. So any, and from now on, anybody claiming, |
| 1:29.2 | arguing or insisting that it is hard to understand what it is or that it doesn't exist or you |
| 1:33.6 | don't believe that it exists, just reminding them of the 350,000 black and Asian soldiers |
| 1:38.8 | who died for Queen and Country, King and Country, it was the First World War, and our country, |
| 1:45.3 | not theirs, our country, and didn Country, it was the First World War, and our country, not theirs, |
| 1:50.3 | our country, and didn't even get the courtesy of a gravestone. We'll be speaking later this hour to the woman whose research and campaigning has brought about this belated but welcome slice |
| 1:56.7 | of justice. But we begin today with James Dyson. Do you want to know how nuts I am? Do you want a little |
| 2:02.5 | insight into how my brain works? Okay, so here are three thoughts that I could use to lead you into |
| 2:07.4 | the James Dyson story, the continuing James Dyson story. The first is why do Boris Johnson's text |
