| Yes, Tony Abbott, the former Australian Prime Minister and distinguished statesman and great friend and fan of the United Kingdom, is proposed as a trade envoy of the UK, since it looks like we're going to leave the EU without a deal. | |
| People who know how to do business deals like that, trade deals like Tony Abbott, It's going to be very helpful. | |
| It's fantastic that he should want such a role. | |
| Somebody as distinguished as him and with such a great career track record and he's done big deals with other countries and he is Prime Minister of Australia. | |
| It's fantastic that he'd want to help us. | |
| At the moment I heard the news, I thought, this is just great. | |
| This is exactly what we want, you know? | |
| Our friends to show up. | |
| And what happens? | |
| But the British media start playing the usual game. | |
| They claim he's a homophobe. | |
| Tony Abbott is not a homophobe. | |
| He's not a homophobe. | |
| They say he's a sexist. | |
| He isn't a sexist. | |
| He's a misogynist. | |
| He isn't a misogynist. | |
| They'll probably try to claim he's transphobic or some other crap next. | |
| And they say he's a climate denier and all this. | |
| And then these broadcasters who play this stupid game get weak, weak men like Matt Hancock and Grant Shapps and they put it to them. | |
| And they're there with their NHS lanyard sort of thinking, but love me. | |
| And they don't know what to say and they say things like, well, I don't know about the allegations and I'll look into them. | |
| Instead of saying stop it, just stop playing this game. | |
| My view, at this stage, These people have overreached so much, I wouldn't care if Tony Abbott was a fire-breathing Paisleyite. | |
| I wouldn't care if he had personally run the Save Ulster from Sodomy campaign and tried to stretch it out across all of Australia and the United Kingdom. | |
| I wouldn't care. | |
| I don't care. | |
| I don't care if they say he's a misogynist. | |
| I don't care if they say he's a homophobe. | |
| I don't care about any of it now and nor should anybody else. | |
| They've overused their currency. | |
| They've hyperinflated. | |
| They were in a Zimbabwean situation and it's time that we say we don't care. | |
| Your magic spell words don't work anymore. | |
| And what's more, we're not going to allow your stupidity to cripple this country. | |
| What exactly does this country want to be after Brexit? | |
| Do we want to be this weirdo country where, you know, the K. Burleys find things that people once did and then make sure that as a result around the world we're represented by people who've never done anything or thought anything and are totally incapable? | |
| Good. | |
| We're halfway there already. | |
| By the way, has to be said, if you are Kay Burley and doing that and watching this, I'll play that game back to her. | |
| 2009, she throttled a female reporter round the neck till the woman was bruised. | |
| Okay? | |
| I'll do this. | |
| Fine. | |
| Kay Burley, you want to play that game? | |
| Nobody should appear in a studio with Kay Burley because she's somebody who throttles women till they're bruised. |
