Hello and and welcome to Frank Skinner's Opinionated tonight from | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Salford. Oh, so it has been a strange week. Theresa May, the Home | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Secretary, had a stressful week, but still found time for a bikini | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
wax! So she she hasn't completely lost | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
:00:48. | :00:56. | ||
interest in border control. LAUGHTER | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
The border official said that passports where were looked at, | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
yeah apparently their officers were saying things like, "Excuse me sir, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
this should be a double R in terrorist.". Frankie has left The X | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Factor. He said he had broken the show's | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
golden rule also known as the must be able to sing rule! | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi has agreed to stand down. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
Here he is praying for guidance. LAUGHTER | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
He looks like he is praying. That's only because we had to cut the | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:32. | ||
prostitute out of the picture. LAUGHTER | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
And this week saw the funeral of the great Sir Jimmy Savile. How | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
marvellous. I went to a football match on the day that Jimmy Savile | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
died. It was really, everyone was talking about it, it was really | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
moving, the footballers gathered around the centre circle and the | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
crowd stood up and the referee blew his whistle and we had a minute's - | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
I loved it. Dr Conrad Murray was found guilty of the involuntary | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
manslaughter of Michael Jackson. Lots of strange details came out | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
during the trial. Apparently Michael Jackson had a weird fungus | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
which grew underneath his toenails. Did you read that? So when he moon | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
:02:19. | :02:32. | ||
walked, he wasn't dancing, he was just wiping. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
LAUGHTER Also, we didn't want to get up in | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the night Michael Jackson, so he used to sleep in a catheter and he | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
had a large glass container full ofure Rhine on the bed side table | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and he would use it as a night light. The National Gallery in | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
London has a massive exhibition open this week which is the | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
paintings of da Vinci and the painting everyone is raving about | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
is Salvador Mandy, Bob Geldof doesn't like it. That's fair enough, | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:06. | ||
you were quick on that. James Moors spent �100,000 on the artist which | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
disintegrated in storage. It was a sculpture of a fat man with a scrar | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
:03:20. | :03:21. | ||
of and a carrot for a nose. LAUGHTER | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
I spent, how much was it, I spent about �10,000 in week on a piece of | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
art. Yeah. Mind you, it was the Pathon. | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
Many of you will have read I still call her Kate Middleton, but the | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Duchess of Cambridge refused to eat peanut butter. She refused it | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
because she is pregnant. I think she refused it because it is food. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
She is actually quite thin, I think it is fair to say. This is what | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
Kate Middleton eats in a day. For breakfast, she has a satsuma | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
segment. LAUGHTER | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
One of the smaller ones apparently. For lunch, she has steamed, sorry | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
:04:17. | :04:18. | ||
for lunch she has steam! LAUGHTER | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
For dinner she has quite a substantial meal described to her | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
:04:30. | :04:31. | ||
by a serve servant. LAUGHTER | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
They are not going to have a baby until after the Queen's jubilee | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
celebrations next year and they are going to hold back until that | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
because they they don't want to steal the limelight. I have marked | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
the Queen's jubilee on my my calendar. That's the beauty of | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
pencil, isn't it? LAUGHTER | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
And Prince Harry, did you read about this? He is stationed in a | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
tiny little town, a sort of hit town in Arizona and the mayor | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
apparently is a bit worried about Prince Harry arriving and he said | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
he heard of Harry's reputation and he said, "Some of the dads won't | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
take too kindly to a prince fornicating the night away with | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
:05:14. | :05:14. | ||
their daughters." That's their job! | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
LAUGHTER I thought of doing an I an | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
impression. I don't do impressions. I have been impressed by people who | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
do. Here is a little impression I thought I would do. Here we go. | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
:05:35. | :05:37. | ||
OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. It is called Tuesday afternoon at passport | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:48. | ||
control. LAUGHTER | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
APPLAUSE Anyway, | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
Anyway, let's | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
Anyway, let's get | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Anyway, let's get started. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Anyway, let's get started. Please welcome my guests, Katy Brand and | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
Dave Gorman. APPLAUSE | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
Welcome. Thanks. What do you think of the desk? | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
was about to mention the desk actually. It is nice. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
You have both done the show before and this time I thought I need a | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
desk. I was watching the football last weekend and at Old Trafford | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
which is a nearby football ground. So Alex Ferguson was celebrating | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
the fact that he had been Manchester United manager for 25 | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
years and they named one of the stands after him. I thought I would | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
have a desk named after a famous person. Right. | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
I looked at the anniversaries that happened tonight and the only one I | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
could find is the British actor Claude Reins, he was born 122 years | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
ago. Was he in Gee-Gee or something like | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
that. He was in the Invisible Man. We | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
have got a picture of him actually. LAUGHTER | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Oh, he was good. I thought we would have... | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
that's the Claude Reins desk. I love the fact that it is a comedy | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
show and I have done a Claude Reins joke. I'm going to open it now | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
:07:28. | :07:28. | ||
officially. APPLAUSE | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Does anyone in the audience have something from the news they would | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
like to discuss? This lady at the front. She has a bit of the Karen | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
carpenter about her. I mean not as jauny. Yes -- scrawny. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
I would like to ask, do you think The X Factor... | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
PROBLEM WITH SOUND LAUGHTER | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
Simon Cowell is more powerful than I thought! | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
That's a terrible lisp you have got by the way! | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Let's try it again. Do I think The X Factor? Do you think this year | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:26. | ||
The X Factor had its day? LAUGHTER | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
It is like, "Get out.". Is that because you're excited because you | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
think Johnny is coming back? I love Johnny, he is brilliantly talented. | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:44. | ||
According to Twitter, he looks like me with AIDS. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
LAUGHTER Thank you very much. "I can see | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
that." I don't know whether that is an insult to him, to me. It | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
certainly shows a certain lack of sensitivity generally. Let's | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
commence. Michael Jackson... Yeah. Is that good news that we know who | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
did it? I was really, really obsessed with Michael Jackson when | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
I was younger, when I was about 11 or 12. I would write him 20 page | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
letters, yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I was properly obsessed. I am quite | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
pleased that it is now official that he didn't kill himself. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
LAUGHTER Did he ever reply to the letters? | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
Well then he deserved to die. There is something about the way | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
that Michael Jackson's life panned out. Nothing about it was real. We | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
want him to live an extreme life and the fact that his death became | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
a big TV court case. I wrote a joke when Michael Jackson was a | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
defendant in a trial at the time and part of his defence was that he | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
was being blackmailed. I wrote a joke, I don't know what you think | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
about Michael Jackson and these blackmail allegations but I think | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
he used to be. I use it had for 15 years because it never became | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
untopical, it was always relevant. That's the brilliant thing about it. | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
It is a new topical show now, a new series, we are talking about | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Michael Jackson, he keeps coming back. I'm expecting a resurrection | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
at any point. This stuff, propofol, it is like hitting you with a polo | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
mallet across the back of the head. It is hospital strength anaesthetic. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
He bought four gallons. It the not just... He bought four gallons. | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:51. | ||
is not having a couple of nightol. You wake-up, I don't like November. | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
Does anyone have any views on the Michael Jackson trial? How much of | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
the four gallons did they go through? What, are you looking for | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
second-hand propofol? We have a clip. This is my favourite clip of | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
the trial. I feel sorry for Conrad Murray. He has been found guilty, | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
right and they are talking about when they are going to get together | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
for the sentencing and this is them working it out. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
If you have a date that you're suggesting, let me know so that I | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
can turn to the people. On November 22nd, 21st, that whole week is not | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
dark, is it? We are open on the 21st and the 22nd. We are not in | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
session the the remainder of the week. What about the 22nd? Is that | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
something you can do? I can. The problem I have is that I'm | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
starting a major case on the 29th. It means that I have to go to the | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
30th I will do that if we can start on the 29th. You said you're | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
starting on the 29th a case. I was. I can do probation and sentencing | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
:12:13. | :12:14. | ||
on this case on the 29th. If you want me to? Yes. That will fit | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
everyone's schedule. Let me just ask, is Tuesday, 2th November | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
:12:31. | :12:35. | ||
acceptable? LAUGHTER | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Is Conrad not thinking, "I have been found guilty and you are | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
looking at your diaries.". It is like my family trying to find out | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
what is happening at Christmas. I can't make it. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
There has been a lot of moving speeches about Michael Jackson | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
since his death, and since the trial and all of that, people | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
saying how much he meant to them and stuff like that. My favourite | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
one is David Guest's moving tribute. He was my best childhood friend. I | :12:59. | :13:09. | |
:13:09. | :13:09. | ||
remember his laugh. His laugh when he used to go. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
LAUGHTER I think he might be confusing | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
Michael Jackson with Flipper! I interviewed La Toya Jackson and | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
she, I think, the ending to the interview is probably the proudest | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
I am of any ending to an interview with anyone. I hope it is innocent | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
because I hate to see a celebrity who was a big star brought down by | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
something like that. Obviously if he is guilty, let him burn, but I'm | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
hoping he isn't. OK, La Toya, it has been great talking to you. | :13:40. | :13:49. | |
Thank you. APPLAUSE | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
Oh no. I do think Michael Parkinson ever | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
ended an interview by suggesting that someone should burn. | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
I did a show with Jermaine Jackson and they are unfailingingly poll | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
plight. I -- polite. | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
I met Jermaine the other week and he smell lovely. I said to him, "It | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
is great to meet you. You smell really lovely." I said, "Where do | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
you get that?" He said, "From the Middle East.". Well, it is | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
interesting you say that because when I did a show with him, he | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
asked me if I would go out out to Dubai and be the Jackson Five's | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
comedy consultant. What? You can imagine... | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
Jackson Five. You have been offered a job as the | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
comedy consultant to the Jackson Five. What happened there? He never | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
:15:01. | :15:01. | ||
called me. I gave him my my number. I think he is full of shit Jermaine | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
Jackson. He said he and his brothers were in Dubai. When was | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
this? Oh two or three years ago. He was still alive? Just about. | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
One of the things that's been spoken about in recent years here | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
is doing what they are doing in America and having some court cases | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
on telly. It has never happened here. We have a guest tonight in | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
the audience, Priscilla Coleman, now Priscilla, hi ya. If we did | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
start televising court cases in the UK, that would be bad news for you, | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
wouldn't it? It would be bad news for me and my work. I do court | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
sketches for a living. What a fantastic job. We have got some of | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
your work. You must have all seen these court sketches on the news. | :15:58. | :16:07. | |
What is, I recognise the the man in the dock? This is Chris Tarrant and | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
the millionaire court case and the coughing. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
The coughing major. I hoped it was some terrible court | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
case about Chris Tarrant that I hadn't heard about it. I can | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
imagine the the judge saying, "The maximum is 20 years, but we don't | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
want to give you that.". You don't draw in court, do you? No. We have | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
to go outside and I'm, I do these from memory. So I just memorise | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
people's faces, the main people I know, I have to concentrate on and | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
I go out and do the drawings. How long does it take you to do | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
one? I have started one while you were talking. So I have you all in | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
it so far and your special desk. Thanks a lot, we will speak to you | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
a little later. Wouldn't you love to watch live | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
court action on TV? The lady with the cardigan. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
I think the problem would be if someone came to be innocent and | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
that's just been shown to everyone on TV, you might remember their | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
face and not that they were innocent. | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Or the fact that they were out? they had been accused of something, | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
but if you didn't catch the episode where they were proved to be... | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
LAUGHTER You were using the grammar of being | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
innocent. It is what is wrong with this idea. | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
You would be five years away from, "And our next housemate is juror | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
seven.". I would love that. I know you would love it, that doesn't | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
make it right. You are confusing with I would like it with it is | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
right. Is this what happened in the first | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
Michael Jackson trial? LAUGHTER | :18:03. | :18:12. | |
Seven seconds. I'm happy with that. LAUGHTER | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
What about on the back of this, what about Frankie. This is the guy | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
from X Factor who adopted the rock'n'roll lifestyle except for | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
the rock'n'roll. LAUGHTER | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
I like it when someone on one of Simon Cowell's lack of talent | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
contests shows a bit of spunk. A bit of punk spirit. You know, it | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
bucks the trend a bit and sticks two fingers up. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
It is going to be terrible for Frankie because he has been the | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
centre of attention and suddenly he will get about as much notice as a | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
:18:56. | :18:57. | ||
passport at Gatwick! APPLAUSE | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Does anyone have any other other news storesies -- stories they | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
would like to talk about? What about the man at the front? | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
wonder what your views, I have seen on the news the way Jimmy Savile | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
dying, I think he had an extravagant sent off, I wondered | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
what your three views were. Good one. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
I love the idea of someone just lying in state and it is just | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
because he wanted to. Nobody else lies in state. Why do they do? The | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
fact that people were travelling, there was a guy from London who | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
travelled up in a tracksuit and a headband. | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
Did anyone here ever write to Jim' ale Fix It? What did you ask for? | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
wrote to Jimmy Savile and have got a big collection of wrestling mem | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
ra bill la. I didn't know his address and I put | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Jimmy Savile a big flat in Leeds and it came back the next day | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
signed. The next day? The next day. We had | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
:20:09. | :20:11. | ||
a postal service then! LAUGHTER | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
That had everything, it had wrestling, it had Jimmy Savile, | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
politics. LAUGHTER | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Maybe your dad just faked his signatures and brought it back to | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
you. I'm just offering it up as a solution. Look at his face. | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
I would like to talk about him. His whole life was about charity. He | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
was like one of the first big celebrity charity people. What | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
would you guess was the top three things that people give to? Animals, | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
you would think. Animals I have to say is down in fifth. It is at 14%. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Not as high as you think. I thought animals because if I see a homeless | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
person on their own, forget it. If they have got a dog, I will give | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
them some money, you know what I mean? I think, "They have got a bit | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
of dog, buy a bit more string." What else would you guess? Children. | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Children is number two. He that's going to be a big one. Cancer. | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
I have never done a show before where people shouted cancer. Yeah, | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
that medical research is the top one, that's what most people give | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
to. Overseas is third. It didn't go down very well. | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
LAUGHTER What do you think the elderly get? | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
7%. And they are probably giving most of the others. Most of the cat | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
stuff. LAUGHTER | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Most people in the audience that do stuff for charity, anyone? | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
That that bloke. Can I ask what charity you do it for? | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
charities that you can see what is happening. We did it to Dogs Trust | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
and military. Dogs Trust did you say? Dogs Trust. | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
What's your name? Mark. How do you decide on that? I gave | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
money to something called the Spectacle Bear to save the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
spectacle bear? Is that because Stephen Fry had your hand twisted | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
behind your back? No, that was another night. I didn't have to | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
give money then. He gave you money. | :22:24. | :22:34. | |
:22:34. | :22:35. | ||
He gave me me 80 quid and a jacket. LAUGHTER | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
No, but I just saw a picture of this bear and it looked like it had | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
sunglasses on and I thought I would pay for that. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
LAUGHTER I'm thinking, are you a dog, do you | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
have dogs? We have two rescue dogs. You have two rescue dogs with the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
little bottle of brandy on the neck? | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
Let's say I'm going to give give 100 quid tonight to charity, right? | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
I'm going to give either to donkeys or cats, right? How many people | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
here would say I should give to donkeys? | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
How many to cats? Let's see if I can convert the cat | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
people? Let's see if I can get you over to the donkey. I would like it | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
to be unanimous. We have a picture of a donkey. | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:33. | ||
Is it just shagged Pudsey Bear? There is actually a cigarette in | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
the other hoof. That's the incident where Pudsey got blinded. | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
LAUGHTER LAUGHTER | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
We have got a picture of a cat. LAUGHTER | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
:23:58. | :23:59. | ||
Do you really want to give money to that slimy alien? It is still pussy | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
and ass with you. Donkeys, they visit the sick, don't | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
:24:14. | :24:18. | ||
they? They are hospital visitors. We have got a picture. | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
LAUGHTER And also if the television breaks | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
down in an old people's home, the donkeys will step in as a | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
replacement. LAUGHTER | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
My money is with the donkeys and that's fine. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Ann Widdecombe supports a lot of donkey charities. | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
OK, maybe the cats then. Do the donkeys sporranan Widdecombe, | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
that's what I -- sporranan Widdecombe, that's what I want to | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
know. There has been a lot of stuff in the papers this week about | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
border control. Apparently all sorts of people have been wandering | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
in. It was brought in to reduce queuing, people moaned about the | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
queuing. There is nothing more British than | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
queuing. It is funny you you should say that | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
because on the British citizenship test, queuing is one of the things | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
that would be migrants are asked about. It is regarded. Phil Woolas | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
who used to be the Immigration Minister under Labour. This is a | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
quote from him. He says, "The simple act of taking one's turn is | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
one of the things that holds our country together. It is very | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
important that newcomers take their place in queues whether it is for a | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
bus or for a cup of tea." Do you agree with that? | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
I'll tell you what is great when you are at the bar and you get that | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
moment when someone says, "Yes, mate." And you go, "Actually, I | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
think they are first. "you feel feel brilliant. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
Sometimes you're doing that to feel good because you know actually you | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
were fifth and now you're second. That's true. | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
You just bumped yourself up the queue and felt really good about | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
yourself. I have done it when I have been | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
next and it has been my turn. She was pretty, wasn't she? She was | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
great. What I would really like to develop | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
is a way of not so much stopping people coming in as getting rid of | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
unpleasant people from Britain. Is there no way that we can just, | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
imagine what the country would be like if it was just nice people who | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
we kept in? Obviously there would be less people here tonight, but I | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
would be all right with that! I had this idea, you know, they used to | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
use devil's island, they used to put prisoners on an island and | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
leave them there, maybe we could do that. If you commit a crime and you | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
get convicted, if you commit a second crime, you have to go and | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
live on an island with the others? We have that, and it is called | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Australia. It works. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
You could use the decommissioned warships and put them off shore. | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
I have heard this suggested before. I want to make sure they are | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
definitely decommissioned. I don't want a drive-by shooting | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
when I'm on the beach in Brighton. Yes, I go on the beach in Brighton, | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
don't judge! Do you feel this country is | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
overcrowded? Who feels that? Everything is getting congested, | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
everything. I used to set off for work and it took me half an hour | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
and now it takes me an hour-and-a- half because there is too many cars | :27:41. | :27:49. | |
on the road. And because you moved. LAUGHTER | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
I bet Priscilla is nearing the end of her art? Am I right, Priscilla? | :27:53. | :28:03. | |
:28:03. | :28:04. | ||
That's fabulous. That's very good. APPLAUSE | :28:04. | :28:14. | |
:28:14. | :28:14. | ||
You made me look a bit grey. LAUGHTER | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
I like the fact that the desk in this version comes up to here, you | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
can't take the court out of what you're doing, he is in the dock. | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
You can't help yourself. That's why I've got that grey wig | :28:22. | :28:24. |
