I think I blame you partly for...

infecting us with this DEI nonsense and all the other stuff that is seeping into the veins of Britain.

But I think you've realized that that's not the way forward.

That's not how we're going to get the quality of life and the common sense and the logic and the fairness that we used to have.

We've got to expunge all that.

And the only way we're going to do that is by very strong people standing up and actually affecting change.

And I, you know, I reflect on the U.S.

a lot because, as you probably know, that there was a man called John Lambert who played a part in the Civil War.

Oliver Cromwell's one of my great historical heroes.

Your Civil War.

In the British Civil War.

Yeah.

He and Henry Arton, when Cromwell won the Civil War,

He said, he always said, if I lose one battle, I lose my head.

The king can lose a hundred battles and he keeps his.

Well, he didn't fortunately lose a battle and he won the Civil War.

And then they had to work out how to govern.

And this guy, John Lambert and Henry Arton wrote this thing

this paper which ultimately guided, it was called The Instrument of Power, and its job was to effectively separate the powers that Cromwell was going to have as Lord Protector and put in the checks and balances, which is what you need in any form of democracy, proper checks and balances that controls any sort of aggregation of power which can be damaging.

You need some power, but you don't want anybody to become omnipotent.
