00:00Does our Prime Minister believe anything at all?
00:03I don't think so. You know, if I've got these principles, I've also got these others, if you don't like them.
00:08I suppose it's completely fine to be a politician who doesn't believe in anything if you have a programme for government, at the very least.
00:16The problem is, it's not that he doesn't believe anything and is sort of picking one lane and going down that for expediency.
00:23It's his veering from one lane to the other, constantly, week after week.
00:27It's a different Prime Minister saying a different thing.
00:30Islands of Strangers, oh, I'm so sorry, that was a little bit racist.
00:33I'm going to cut these benefits. No, I'm not going to cut these benefits.
00:36I mean, what does this man actually think?
00:39I'm not sure he actually has any kind of overriding principle driving him or even an ideology driving him.
00:47It's absolutely absurd.
00:48But I think he tried to sound a bit, you know, down with the public with those comments.
00:53I understand people are worried about immigration.
00:56I understand your concerns about integration and the future of this country.
01:01But, but, but, but, but, and a few left wingers get a bit upset with him and he's forced to backtrack.
01:06I mean, it is utterly extraordinary.
01:08It's embarrassing.
01:09Because Enoch Powell never said the words Islands of Strangers.
01:13He said the word strangers, not Islands of Strangers.
01:16I mean, it's not even a quote.
01:19It's an illusion at the very most.
01:21I mean, you really have to be trying to find something Powellian about what Keir Starmer said in order to create this comparison.
01:29I mean, it's a complete fabrication.
01:31He's apologising for other people's interpretation of words that he said and didn't even write himself, although he should have read them really in advance, from his speech writer.
01:43And a prime minister looks rather weak, don't you think, if they're apologising for how someone else interprets their words wrongly.
01:49I mean, it's nonsense, isn't it?
01:52I'm sure, I'm sure we could find hundreds and thousands of words that Enoch Powell said.
01:57Shall we just, shall we strike them all off?
01:58The acceptable, agreeable, political lexicon.
02:02I mean, shall we just, I mean, if Enoch Powell said something about fish fingers, are we not allowed to talk about fish fingers?
02:09I don't know why.
02:09Absolutely not.
02:09I don't know why I'm talking about fish fingers.
02:10Maybe I just want some fish fingers.
02:11You mentioned fish fingers earlier, actually, before the show.
02:13It's on my mind.
02:14It's on my mind.
02:14It's on your mind, isn't it?
02:16But yeah, let us know.
