Not names, no.

I knew that my mother was a 19-year-old nursing student and my father was a 21-year-old trainee hotel manager, although that turned out not to be the case.

Not really, no.

and i knew what part of the country it was and i knew you knew a lot more about the mother because the language of the time 67 it is all the details of the father the form says details of putative father so the assumption there's a moral assumption that it's quite interesting that you don't even know who the father is really um so eventually i ended up

meeting various people that I'm related to, and I have a very good relationship with my two half-sisters now.

In fact, I saw them last weekend.

They persisted with me to become a part of my life.

not very good at keeping up with people, you know, but they were very determined about it and they're great.

So that was one, that's sort of been around.

But then a few years ago, around about 18 months ago, I went to the GP about something and the GP decided that I should take advantage of a scheme where there was free therapy for people that had been...

in care sort of in that time because it was decided I think as a result of a class action by a group of women who thought that being put into the care of a non-regulated religious charity was not necessarily the best outcome for them.

There was six weeks of free therapy to discuss

what effect coming into the world in that way at that time may have had.

And, you know, it's statistically provable that everybody that went through that has a higher prehensibility than normal towards certain states of mind or conditions or dependencies or whatever.

So it was interesting.

So, you know, eventually I'll write something about that.

But what I don't want to do is I would like to sort of make it a kind of a parody of those

here's my story, feel my pain kind of shows.

But it won't be for a while because the next show, 2028, which I will tour between my daughter's GCSEs and hopefully her A-levels, is going to be very specifically about nationalism.

I've got loads of ideas for it and I think I need to land it before Farage gets in in 2029.
