And cities are destroyed for ethical impropriety all the time, right? They go to hell in a handbasket and then all hell breaks loose and that's the end of that. That happens all the time. Sodom. Well, this is the story. Angels of God visit Abraham or God, it's ambivalent in the story, and they tell Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah are going to be destroyed in totality.
And Abraham says, that's not fair. What if there's good people there? And God or the angels say, I don't think there are. And Abraham says, well, what if I can go to the city and find 50? And God says, you find 50, no problem. And Abraham, who's a stubborn bastard says, well, what if there's 40? And God says, You know, you're pushing your luck. And I think Abraham gets him down to 10.

And it's a fascinating story because this is what I think it means. And this is also why I think your venture is so crucially important. And I also think this is relevant on the day after Jay Bhattacharya was elected to head the NHS after being an outsider and, what would you say, cancelled.

The moral of that story is if there's 10 people in a city that are still willing to tell the truth, the city won't be destroyed.

It's possibly, there's a reason stand-up comedy is... so entertaining and so popular. It's possible because it's possible that it's because it's really necessary. It's really necessary for you to be allowed to be funny because one of the things that's so cool about comedy is that people don't laugh on purpose. Right? You can't You can pretty much tell when someone laughs falsely.
