And you'd have boys make very derogatory comments about girls. And this was still in a relatively, you know, sort of well-educated, progressive, relatively progressive sort of environment. They say, women's place is in the kitchen. And girls shouldn't, why are you bothering doing this? You know, you're only going to get married and have children.

And you would just say two words to them, Margaret Thatcher, and it just shut them up. She was the most powerful woman in the world. Certainly she felt like the most powerful person in the world for a long time. And everyone knew who she was.

But I did have somewhere to stay. So my mother had a friend who I was going to stay with. So it wasn't like they gave me money and then I stayed in a homeless shelter. I had a roof over my head, but I had to look after myself. And so I had to get a job. And that was at McDonald's. And did you do the fries like Kamala Harris did?

You know, I had to do everything. But I hated being, we used to call it on the grill in those days. I hated being, it was just boring. I liked talking to people. So I liked to be on the till. You were either on the till or on the grill. I don't know if they still say that now. This is nearly 30 years ago. But you had to do everything there. You had to clean toilets, mop the floors.

There were no special cleaners coming in. But a lot of people, and this has been very interesting for me, a lot of people in the U.K., think that it was like a summer job or something I was doing at weekends. That was my job. And then I went to a part-time college to do my A-levels, this sort of between age 16 and 18.

And that was also a very formative experience for me because I had done SATs when I was 16 and I had such good scores. that I got all these scholarship offers. And I got a part scholarship from Stanford when I was in Nigeria to go pre-med. At 16? Yes, at 16. And my dad said, well, we can't afford the rest of the fees, so you can't go.

When really what should have happened was I should have kept going till I was 18 and I'd probably have gotten the full thing. And going to the UK and starting at this college, It was a completely different experience. I call it the poverty, the soft bigotry of low expectations, the poverty of ambition. Why do you want to study medicine? You can do this other thing instead.
