=== Stop Caring (02:52) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:18]  People who know how to do business deals like that, trade deals like Tony Abbott, It's going to be very helpful.
[00:00:23]  It's fantastic that he should want such a role.
[00:00:27]  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.
[00:00:34]  It's fantastic that he'd want to help us.
[00:00:36]  At the moment I heard the news, I thought, this is just great.
[00:00:39]  This is exactly what we want, you know?
[00:00:40]  Our friends to show up.
[00:00:42]  And what happens?
[00:00:43]  But the British media start playing the usual game.
[00:00:47]  They claim he's a homophobe.
[00:00:49]  Tony Abbott is not a homophobe.
[00:00:51]  He's not a homophobe.
[00:00:53]  They say he's a sexist.
[00:00:54]  He isn't a sexist.
[00:00:56]  He's a misogynist.
[00:00:56]  He isn't a misogynist.
[00:00:57]  They'll probably try to claim he's transphobic or some other crap next.
[00:01:03]  And they say he's a climate denier and all this.
[00:01:05]  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.
[00:01:15]  And they're there with their NHS lanyard sort of thinking, but love me.
[00:01:20]  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.
[00:01:28]  Instead of saying stop it, just stop playing this game.
[00:01:33]  My view, at this stage, These people have overreached so much, I wouldn't care if Tony Abbott was a fire-breathing Paisleyite.
[00:01:43]  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.
[00:01:54]  I wouldn't care.
[00:01:56]  I don't care.
[00:01:57]  I don't care if they say he's a misogynist.
[00:02:00]  I don't care if they say he's a homophobe.
[00:02:02]  I don't care about any of it now and nor should anybody else.
[00:02:06]  They've overused their currency.
[00:02:08]  They've hyperinflated.
[00:02:10]  They were in a Zimbabwean situation and it's time that we say we don't care.
[00:02:15]  Your magic spell words don't work anymore.
[00:02:18]  And what's more, we're not going to allow your stupidity to cripple this country.
[00:02:24]  What exactly does this country want to be after Brexit?
[00:02:27]  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?

=== Kay Burley's Grip (00:34) ===

[00:02:43]  Good.
[00:02:44]  We're halfway there already.
[00:02:46]  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.
[00:02:53]  2009, she throttled a female reporter round the neck till the woman was bruised.
[00:03:01]  Okay?
[00:03:02]  I'll do this.
[00:03:03]  Fine.
[00:03:04]  Kay Burley, you want to play that game?
[00:03:06]  Nobody should appear in a studio with Kay Burley because she's somebody who throttles women till they're bruised.
