Not many people could make headlines by what they didn't say.

I don't think anyone else could other than him, which is fascinating.

maybe it was just being theatrical or having a degree of pageantry to his response to try and illustrate his point without actually saying it.

But, you know, I thought he might have been perhaps taking a bigger view of being a little conservative, but, you know, that doesn't really ring true to the way he's performed over the years, I guess, now I think about it.

You mentioned James Bracey asking the question.

I haven't played this for a while.

Hit me the glass door, if you can, please, doubly.

Someone's got to get on us.

This can't happen.

Someone outside the tent's bagging us.

Well, James Bracey is interesting.

So very accomplished host, great presenter, kind of the face of a lot of nine stuff, and has been largely the front man, the steer others into the opinion sort of person.

And he wouldn't say he's famous for having –

expressed a lot of opinions over the journey.

Yeah.

He's built his whole career on impartiality, being neutral and being a great traffic cop.

And he's in the top small percent of people who do that in the country.

Like, he's an elite host.

So this exchange for me was as glass jaw as it gets.

And the background is this.
