And I think it's totally appropriate.
And similarly for Deschamps, the trauma of losing a parent on the other side of the world, you can understand why he would want to take some time out to be with his family and then travel back to be with his team.
Yeah, it would give that emotional clarity that would help with the leading of the team and it wouldn't necessarily feel that he had left anything outside or that he could be somewhere else.
So you can see that there would be both perhaps a personal benefit to him, obviously being with his family and being at his mother's funeral as much as having the clarity then when he could come back to the team.
Yeah, it's deeply unsettling.
And I'm from Swords, born and bred.
I'm very proud to be from Swords.
So it's very upsetting and disappointing to see something as horrific happening there.
And just again, to echo what Aoife talked about, the idea that people will be waking up in their homes at half three in the morning where there's bins up against the door is absolutely shocking.
And again, to understand the context of a little bit more about this, Matt, you'll remember that Ryanair bought, I think, 25 out of the 28 homes in this estate.
Which was controversial at the time.
time it did throw up a significant kind of national debate about whether corporate entities should be buying up housing estates but if you bring it back to this week then we're seeing kind of the ugly violent flashpoint of that tension that's occurring and whether it is based around housing grievances or anti-immigrant rhetoric it's absolutely thuggery and we were you know we're speculating that one could argue it could be attempted murder for example.
I think the biggest crime was going to Metallica in the first place.
Ah, steady on.
As probably many people listening, my view of Nigel Farage is that he is a charlatan.
And what we have seen in his recent broadcast media rounds, whether it's with the BBC or LBC, as we just heard with Nick Ferrari, ITV Sky News, is that what we're seeing is a kind of a political or unfavourable masterclass in political distraction, deflection and defiance.
One of the things he says is that the public don't care about it, but there was a review and a survey from Survation that found that 68% of the public are actively concerned about this £5 million gift and roughly half of those currently vote for reform.
So that'll be a challenge for him.
It's also a challenge to how he has presented himself in his political identity, where it's been built on this kind of ordinary, nice guy, has a laugh, pint in the pub bloke,
and that he's detached from the wealthy elite, which is that now he is very clearly, totally attached to the wealthy elite where he is getting this £5 million gift.
