at what we have had to do over the last four or five years. The economy

last four or five years. Thd economy had to be turned around. We had to

deal with the mess that was left by the Labour Party, and pretty much

:15:51.:15:56.

that has now been done. Why are the MPs defecting to UKIP? What do you

:15:57.:16:00.

say to those still contempl`ting it? I don't know. I don't think they are

going to. They would be crazy if there were any more charactdrs

there were any more characters willing to defect. They must be

utterly nuts. I look at the opinion polls, and if Ed Miliband is

For the past three decades the Turner Prize has often shocked

with its controversial and alternative works.

And this year, it's 30th, is no exception.

have to learn. In the same way technology is a language to learn to

communicate by. I think it will take a bit of time but I would encourage

people to come and see it bdcause people to come and see it bdcause

it good art is that it is reflective of our society and what is happening

in the world today. The prestigious prize will be decided in December

and the winner will get ?25,000 as well as worldwide recognition.

Just for the first few days. As if by magic, this is the headline, so

through the next few hours they will ease away and we have a largely dry

night. A smattering of cloud, but some clearer skies as well. I don't

:25:35.:25:39.

think there will be quite as much mist and fog as there was in a few

places last night. That is because of the cloud, and a bit more of a

the end of September. The start of October, 19 degrees. It will be

fairly cloudy on Wednesday with one or two spots of rain but it should

be 14 degrees as an average, and that looks like it is set to
