This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien.

Oh, three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you. You may not like this, but I'm, I'm toying with the

idea of not doing much political today. I feel with the A-level fiasco and all the stresses and

strains that that's inflicted upon families and young people in particular, that possibly today

might be a day where we look in other corners of the country, other corners of the coronavirus

crisis for our time together,

although it is a bit sad with the proposals on testing to see how quickly they can turn us against each other,

whether intentionally or not, it's remarkable, isn't it, the idea that foreigners should pay.

The reason we have testing is to protect everybody from getting infected with coronavirus, did it? The idea that foreigners should pay. The reason we have testing is to protect everybody

from getting infected with coronavirus to hear people saying foreigners should pay for it.

And also, you know, the question of, if I'm in a position to enjoy foreign holidays most years,

not this year, oddly, but because why on earth should you, if you can enjoy foreign holidays be subsidising me having a test when I get in and can?

So I want to move away from that element of the travel scenario as well because I just seems to me to be a...

Well, I don't know why. Maybe I've woken up on the right side of the bed and I don't want to do any division today or even

perhaps disagreement. So we'll start with dobbing in people who are behaving in a bad way

because I don't think, and I could be wrong on this. Actually, I wonder, I think I probably am.

I just wonder, as I looked at the tale of the tests that Heathrow, I just found myself wondering how many people are scrupulously observing the two-week quarantine.

Now, here's an interesting thing. As I ask you that question, I start feeling a bit cheeky, you know, a bit mischievous.

I've already used the phrase dobbing in.

So my inner schoolboy is even closer to the surface, perhaps, than usual.

And then by complete chance, I glanced across the desk at the Times newspaper, which does a fairly decent job of keeping tally of the current situation

statistically. And of course, our death rate's back over a thousand now quite frequently.
