Sunday morning for the. Good morning I'm on Am and f.m. Around the u.k. On. I'm Roger Sharpe and were up all night and in this hour of the program in the election Adam and Laura look into election related relationship or words if your favorite other is kind of involved with the other party and elsewhere we're going to take a look at a tragedy for k. Pop in which 2 members of the same group have taken their own lives and in election news a major new poll a major in terms of the sample size gives the Conservatives a substantial lead. And the polling organization you Gov are making much of the fact that they got quite close to calling the result of the 2017 general election and they have a new sampling approach which they say gives some remarkable confidence and it takes in. A large number of people so it gives the Conservatives a Commons majority of a road and 68 and a national lead of 11 percentage points over Labor the big deal is that more than 100000 people or a question for this poll whereas in other polls sample size a much smaller of course it is just an opinion poll a much smaller survey carried out by Congress puts the conservatives still ahead of Labor Orly by 7 percentage points but still that is 7 percentage points Here's our political correspondent Nick hardly You Gov interview just over 100000 people over the past week about their voting intentions before then using a model to predict individual constituency results the poll indicates the conservatives are on course for a comfortable majority picking up just over 40 seats with Labor losing about 50 giving the Tories a majority of $68.00 it also suggests the s.n.p. Will pick up further seats in Scotland where the Lib Dems will add just one to their tally from 2017 it is only one poll which should be treated with caution not least because of a wide margin of error and the fact there are 2 weeks left in the campaign other surveys however have also pointed to the 2 lead although in some cases the gap with Labor seems to have been closing this morning a much smaller calm race poll for The Daily Telegraph pits the conservative 7 points ahead of Labor compared with 11 in the You Gov poll well in a couple minutes we're going to hear from the b.b.c. News head of statistics Robert cuffed 1st of all Chris Carter's political research manager You Gov and I asked Chris what the data appears to reveal about the current state of voting intentions. What we can say on current polling is that the most likely outcome is a Conservative majority of $68.00 there's always a margin of error in the margin of error on this is a very small conservative majority of under 10 a very large majority of of over 100 but the most likely outcome on current polling is a majority of 68 The other thing to bear in mind is that we are still nearly 2 weeks out over 2 weeks out from the General Election Day And of course while this can capture where things currently are we don't know how things might move over the period of time of course none of us are very good as statisticians you know unless we are statisticians but what is your sample size for this because some of your samples are are fairly big some of your samples are not so big are they so in the traditional pall of this day you're speaking to somewhere between a fall into 2000 people now this is a much more complicated what we call an r.p. Model so we're not just doing a show actually we've interviewed over 100000 people in the past 7 days now that allows us not just to look at the national vote but look at how all of the different types and groups of people and the country is ait's in with us yeah young people with degrees or old people who didn't go to university and live in a particular part of the country and allows us to come up with the see estimates in fact allows us to come up with an estimate for all of the 632 great British States . And you know we all get frankly beat the over the head by our bosses who say don't give a new way to any one poll but I'm looking back a list of all the polls that's been held in the van I can see anybody that sampled one 100000 people I mean you you sample that 11000 people back in the the whatever it was the 20 something of November but is that right I mean there's nobody else doing on this scale you know this is I mean as far as I'm aware this one of the biggest pieces of research that my company has ever conducted and you know probably one of the biggest pieces of research has ever been conducted interesting intention in the u.k. Now the ways the reason we're doing this is because we think it's really important in this election and in fact any election and in fact if you take the issue of breaks it for example an issue which is going to affect generations to come in all of these things is really important to listen to to represent and to reflect what the British public I think what we've done here is conduct as one of our best biggest pieces of research ever so that we can so that we can we can try and accurately do. So here with what we've said that you've recorded the consent of the majority or potential Conservative majority of 68 what is our represent in percentage of the vote share so we currently got 11 point conservative late so that's the conservatives pretty much on the same vij they won in 2017 in the late forty's 43 percent labor down quite considerably on the $27000.00 votes that currently sitting at 32 percent the Liberal Democrats have increased nearly doubled it a colony on 14 percent However despite that increase in by They've still only managed to gain a single seat. Well the Liberal Democrats showing higher earlier in the month I mean look at some polls here that have them up that he has won b.m.g. Had them up 18 percent yesterday by the 1st of November you know one of the big interesting things about this campaign is just how difficult the Liberal Democrats have found it they started this campaign on the round of Fed of the vote among 3 main voters just now got dropped down to a quarter as Labor has started to squeeze about Spock and unfortunately for them we don't have any good news for them tonight Eva it's showing even though they're still up on the 2017 down the start the campaign but still up on the 2017 and not don't seem at this stage at least to be doing a good job of trance translating those extra votes into extra seats. Chris Curtis of you gov You Gov also showing substantial losses for Labor in Scotland against by the s.n.p. Well I've been talking to b.b.c. News head of statistics Robert cuff and I asked him about the poll size Well the finds is impressive but the issue of polling and that it's not just about how many people you get it's who you guess and that's been part of the problem we've seen in the 2015 and 17 elections for just because they got a lot of people doesn't mean that it's all over this is basically election done and dusted and we can go home. And I'm looking at this wonderful thing the margin of error and the margin of error seems to get bigger and bigger with these polls doesn't it it's pretty big Yeah so I think what the British polling Council say is that for. For national vote share it could be. Up or down by about 4 points and I am actually asked quite a big an impact because at the moment the conservatives have about an 11 point lead and most of the experts will tell you that a 10 point lead will it will likely translates into a majority but of course that center 6 points if it's down by by 4 then you get a very very different picture so that kind of level of uncertainty in the polls this is what leads make it very difficult. To be completely to rely completely on any single result I think you need to be a little bit wary and if ever I look at their you know we've said that that you Gov predict 43 percent of the vote for the conservatives which would mean $359.00 seats we take a right in the middle of the sample but the margin of error goes from $328.00 seats to 385 so and an actual physical terms you know M.P.'s getting jobs that's a big difference. And it's the view of Louis looking at it quite nervously and so as you say it could be as low as $3.00 to $8.00 which is a very it's a kind of a squeaky bum kind of majority rather than a comfortable one and if the pole shift a little bit bitter. The noun December as they almost certainly will and the picture could change quite substantially I mean I think we started to see if you look at the pattern that the other of the other opinion polls we've been seeing recently it's starting to look a little bit like the Conservatives might be plateauing I mean there's only so many votes that they can take away from the Braves a partner who are kind of falling away down below 3 percent whereas labor are continuing to put on maybe a Point 2 weeks that's how things are looking at the moment though it does look a little bit like the polls might continue to shift between. Now and Election Day But of course it's very volatile so you know if the you know just like you well just like a stocks and shares they could go up or down. But we're still encouraged and they're still buy em we have both you know the actual business of polling are we less Are we less likely to tell a pollster the truth you know are we offsetting the pollsters these days. I think there is some evidence of new kinds of things that are hard to find I think we all we're all familiar with that and the old ninety's trope of the shiny Tory I think some of the polls are started to notice that people that people are less likely to report having voted for Labor in 2017. And that does make it a little bit more complicated because you want your polling sample to be as representative of the part of the population as possible and of people won't tell you who they voted for last time it's hard to make sure that you get enough Labor voters into your sample to get the right amount. So it is it is tricky and take to get the the polls and that's why another reason why I'd say that you don't want to focus too much on any one poll because each of the pollsters ask a funny different question to slightly different panel of people and they try and problem into making a decision because of course some people say oh I'm not going to vote or I'm not sure I'm going to vote for and they all try and get around on different ways and so we you know when we do our poll tracker we tend to try and take an average across all the cultures that we're not saying that. Anyone you know any one polling company of the dramatic truth and absolute fact you're right and of course this just projection does come from from you go from one culture to go for it election night in the polls we elect the exit polls which some people anyway feel either aren't comfortable about what or what is the b.b.c. Do with exit polls East in d.c. And I to be an ex-con I altogether run one exit poll and the results of that are reported on election night after the polls close at 10 o'clock and so that's when you can see that 1st call it had the election might run and it's updated throughout the night as the real results start to come in Robert cover the this is a head of statistics. Well as we've been hearing in the News President Trump has now signed a bill into law supporting pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong the move has angered China which has seen it coming and is accusing Washington of meddling they beat joins us in Hong Kong hello Nic. I wrote gets I Good good morning to you I wonder if there are 2 different reactions here on potentially one is the political reaction has there been any time yet for the protesters or are there pro-democracy activists to comment on what the United States is probably doing. Yeah I mean they are absolutely static this morning down there talking about this being a thanksgiving present from President Trump something which in Dorsey's their campaign their fight for democracy and they're saying this is something which reflects wider international support for what's been happening here in Hong Kong and so yes there absolutely is static and as you suggested said really stark contrast with what China has been saying a little bit gloomy. Yet they said we are I mean here yes I think is probably the word to describe or the Chinese reaction today the fondant foreign ministry saying that this bill represents sinister intentions by the Americans that it's an interference it's something which is against international law and the Chinese have said that their response didn't in their own way to this. Of course the United States and China have been talking about trade in the been talking about settling some of their differences and has been a lot of global optimism about that what's the take on it. Yeah absolutely I mean that is the that is the broader context and I tell you when I answer that Rod I'll just tell you what I can see at the moment because we literally just managed to get on to the policy at university. Campus This is the place where. One point there were thousands and pro-democracy demonstrators most nearly all of them we think have gone away the police have just moved on and I don't know how can we do justice to what is an absolute I mean it looks like a bomb site is like a student party from how the the morning after the night before there is it's completely trashed you've got medical equipment you've got bottles but not full of booze they're full of petrol and there's a whole stash I can see of Molotov cocktails unused petrol bombs and so the fire brigade and also some police officers are trying to clear out this mess and I mean talk of petrol bombs the Chinese think at a critical time in the trade war negotiations trying to resolve it they see President Trump as having you know lobbed in a Molotov cocktail of his own which is only could inflame the situation even although of course these bills went through the Senate and they were there were so a whole lot of us Democratic representatives but is the is the Asian market for a foreign exchange market there surly but the stock market reacting Yeah. Well I mean I do that we've seen other things significant to this I think it's important you say it has got that brought broader political support it was bi partisan support in both in both the upper and lower house in the states and so President Trump was really really reflecting through signing base quite a broad support for the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement I think any sort of economic impacts going forward will be I guess in the years to come because what they can do now through passing this legislation is have this year Leigh assessment where the Americans look at Hong Kong they think right Ok To what extent is China infringing on these essential civil liberties that the rights that the Hong Kong enjoys under the basic law basically are that. David Frum the British back in 1997 and potentially that could be sanctions you know put all on the Chinese if they think that Beijing's interfering with life here in Hong Kong. Well it's it's a wonder they were able to talk to you they are the Hong Kong Polytechnic of all places and thank you so much Nick for telling us what it's like. Because it was he wrote. Let's go to Korea now because South Korea is in mourning for the k. Pop star Guha she was 28 she is a former member of the girl group Cowra and she was found dead in our home and so on Sunday evening her death comes just a few weeks after the death of our close friend and fellow k. Pop star slowly turn the spotlight on the darkest corners of the k. Pop industry and the online abuse directed at celebrities by 5 It's a reporter in Seoul is Julian Hello Julie Hi Ron. It is such a sad story what what was I mean words importance of Google to the whole cape think . So speaking of k. Pop so she debuted as a young girl in 28 so that's the time before that k. Pop would had become this global phenomena as we know now with the b.t.s. And black pink so before then keep up with a very much a domestic thing and starting from minute to thousands there was a wave of new cape up brands from a large entertainment companies like a same j. Y.p. In Canada which. Was a member of was one of the tier of this wave of u.k. Pop and this was really the time that k. Pop went beyond South Korea and was really faint became famous in Japan and other Asian countries so she the car is known for songs like rock you Mr honey jump in and they really defined the air out there one of the groups that defined the era of this 1st k. Pop going global for the 1st time and how do we know that Gerhart I was having a hard time before she died so she has been a beloved star you know she was known as a hardworking and a down to earth singer but really she became publicly known. For her personal life last year when her career was overshadowed by this incident off the stage though in September last year her former boyfriend initially claimed that he was assaulted by her. As they were going through a break up but then later who accused him of threatening to release a very private video that was shot between him and her and something that was very notable at the time was instead of denying the scandal as a whole who actively fought against her abusive ex-boyfriend in the public. Light and obviously this incident just took over the whole tabloid newspaper and the major news outlets as well. And 4 female k. Pop stars admitting the very existence of private videos between her intimate partner could be critical of their career. It was a shallow set up by the way that k. Pop stars are treated and the way they held to some very artificial sort of standard So 1st of all I think we have to understand this whole industry and how they train their trainees before they become they debut as a k. Pop stars So Kate I was a very highly competitive and. Aspiring artist as young as their early teens trained for ears and the industry is also known to have strict rules especially against female stars to name a few there are dating then strict diets and of course unfair contracts so there is all this behind her and she did stood up against her abusive ex-boyfriend and admitted that such video existed so this was a very big almost like a landmark case at the time for that really shook the cape up industry. And can you just tell us about solely you know and hard change things that did surely take her own life. Yes holy holy was another figure she was also a member of she was a member of f x which was a group formed by s.m. Entertainment which is one of the top tier entertainment groups here in South Korea and she was unlike other Ok pop industry artists she spoke. About a lot of issues including feminism which is a very rare thing to see and of course that had backlash is right people criticize her for just simply being herself and admitting that she's a feminist. And that really cost her a lot of stress and she actively talked about being abused online and people really writing hate comments without the any kind of basis of who she really is so that really shook the industry once again less than 2 months ago and so could us deaths coming after. That is really has taken South Korea and in fact quite and wholly are known to be really close friends to each other so there's a lot of self-examination as I mean our people say we've got to do better you know by these young women Yeah so a lot of women are angry in South Korea right now and I think because there was a very evident incident that was a turning point for you know what I was unlike Sally she wasn't as the local on line about her personal beliefs you know she in some ways abide to the Cape rule so to speak. And read out whether she wanted or not her private life was in the limelight and that really pushed you know people believe that really pushed her. Deep in depression and actually in May there was an incident where she quote I was found unconscious and was sent to hospital so even the police has not yet commented on the cause of death but they have concluded the investigation and decided to not to carry autopsy upon the Quartus family's request so. We can guess that yes we are indeed Julie thank you so much. Julian joined us from Charlotte just before our past 4. On digital b.b.c. Sound of St. Louis b.b.c. Radio 5 Live there was the news the Sarah Green China has responded angrily to a law signed off by Donald Trump that supports pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong the u.s.

And or in Westminster to Ok so this morning it was an email from the Labor Party saying get to this location at this time Jeremy Corbin is going to make a big statement about the health service Yes What was it major statement from Jeremy Corbin and we were wondering well could this be and I thought well has been trying to talk about more than anything else in this campaign. Donald Trump in the n.h.s. . So there we were in the room Jeremy Corbyn comes in after a very very torrid day yesterday. And over there after the engineer interviews Well yes he told them yes and it's worth knowing that until really quite late yesterday Jeremy Cooper was meant to be going to Cornwall this morning anyway he walked in brandishing pages and pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of documents which are about the talks between the u.s. And the u.k. Potential trade deal after breakfast and these were talks done by British officials who went to Washington spoke to trump administration officials between summer 2017 to mean June 2017 and July 2900 so it is the it's the documentation from something that we knew about which is called the u.k. U.s. Trade working group I think I've got that right that was set up by Donald Trump and to reason mate talk about how the u.s. And the u.k. Might be able to do a trade deal which in itself is a politically charged affair after. So technically there be sort of exploratory or preliminary talks now Jeremy Corbyn then went through the details of actually relatively few details but he went through some of the papers with great kind of fanfare saying that they prove that the Tories are putting the n.h.s. Up for sale and let's hear what Jeremy Corbyn had to say over the last some of the research. Is of. Course. We. Are. On orals I think. We was that he was you see that thing is things right. Now remember this when I was things to get it right this is Tom Cole or if. This is a week year for. Things was for us this is our life this is a model on suppose and you can hear all the cameras whirring and clicking away at this major announcement Yeah but it was a big event and labor were very very keen to try to change the subject after yesterday's shocker of a day for Jeremy Corbin But the important thing really to understand about this is what these documents to prove and what they don't prove they show that there have been conversations a lot of conversations between American officials and u.k. Officials about a trade deal it shows that America wants a lot of access to u.k. Markets and it shows that America would like there to be more access for American drug companies to sell them into the n.h.s. What it does not show what these documents don't show is that there's some kind of secret deal for the government to sell the n.h.s. To American companies it doesn't show that there are wide scale plans for privatization and they say they simply don't show that there is a kind of advanced not to sell off the n.h.s. To Donald Trump it's not there. But it does show that America wants to get a lot more access to the u.k. Economy as part of a trade deal but it's also mean you know I know this Tony from Bressay castrate any trade deal any international version it's a 2 way thing and because we're still in the e.u. The u.k. Government is not by law allowed to say what it would like so it's kind of a very technical very law American wish list and for the conservatives if it reminds me just as it was modern maddening for the Labor Party that the Tories came up with this one point. 2 trillion pounds about them all the things that they wanted to spend money on they had to not deny that deny that deny that die that this is very frustrating for the conservatives and I think you can hear have you know annoyed Boris Johnson was because he's ruled out and he had to do it again today it is a total nonsense and it is endlessly repeated by the Labor Party that the n.h.s. Is somehow up for sale or going to be negotiated in a trade deal nothing could be further from the truth that will not happen under this government or indeed any Conservative government I think what you've heard from me today is our commitment to the n.h.s. Is only one reason why the Labor Party continues to to bring this up is this it which is a total invention it is because they seek to distract from the great void at the heart of the principle policy of this election which is about pretty I have to admit for most people these are not very easy or fun reading 600 pages I loved it. So much like trade brags that I can only act on that 6 diplomacy Korea and there it's fantastic just in case any election casters or people who might still be relatively new to. My not quite understand the kind of thing that we're going on about here this is. The kind of thing that really said I'm going. The u.s. Brackets Tapper close brackets this is close 39 on page 26 set out the latest example of an e-commerce chapter that the u.k. Could look at was t p p on moving data and cloud services the u.s. Had tried to craft rules and put discipline around something it raised big issues a model had developed in t p p designed to allow exceptions for privacy and some guidelines around it always can get my the us open brackets Tapper closed brackets said they'd be interested in discussing developing open brackets u.k. Closed brackets thinking on data flows the u.k. Open brackets Connelly closed brackets explained that to bring the u.k. Yeah totally right i just say if you are listening rather than watching this I'm not sure if it was from this or not Adam was nodding along joyfully so happy since the beginning of this election this is the kind of stuff that really gets other Muslims on the mailing once you read all those $600.00 is that a big part of our future is going to be the government pursuing a trade deal with America but also pursuing a trade deal with the e.u. 2 blocks that look at the world in quite a different way obviously and how will you reconcile the 2 Nicholas sturgeon launched the s.n.p. Manifesto today here's what you have to say people are becoming increasingly sick of hearing Jeremy carbon importers Johnson talking about it nor allowing the Scottish people to choose their own future Well I've got news for them it's not up to you. Was his and you know what it's not to me either. It is a decision for the people of Scotland and for the Scottish Parliament the democratically elected Scottish Parliament has agreed that people of Scotland should be given a choice over their future and unelected tortie Westminster government has no right to overturn that decision so an s.n.p. Victory in this election would be a clear instruction from the people of Scotland to respect Scottish democracy we'll talk more about the s.n.p. Manifesto on the next episode of Bragg's it cast a big thoughts that were just quickly I mean it's full of policies about health education all the kinds of things that the s.n.p. Would like to do but lots of the things that they would like to do. On the big scale relate to whether or not they're ever going to be able to both hold the independence referendum and desire and then when it and the reality is that although of course these go to domestic issues that are massively important to the people who live in Scotland for 5000000 people who live in Scotland in the people who are voting there a lot of the chat and a lot of the way Nicholas sturgeon is approaching this campaign is about whether or not she might hold the balance of power if there is a hung parliament on Friday the 13th of December Ok And you've got to dash off and do some more work and as a side we'll talk about Nicholas sturgeon the s.n.p. Manifesto a bit more on the next Bridget cast I'll be back later yes because there are people who are more fun than you and me talking about trade talks coming on to the program later and there indeed indeed. To be a stranger for too long for the border you're listening to elation just from the b.b.c. . You all know what that music means it means our very own Mulder and Scully of the b.b.c. Are here they are Marilyn spring. And we call you modern Scully because as part of your jobs on b.b.c. Trending you go out into the wide world and. Cover mysteries about how the election is playing out in the digital space here Internet Explorer if you are Internet Explorer's Netscape Navigator. That's an old i like to bring up old References header I said I'm so old I was a little my browser joke fell flat Never mind about them oh right what have you been proving this time around I say we've been looking at these big Facebook pages that are pumping out lots of election related means news articles and content. Thousands of people taking millions of likes shares comments and the people who we've been talking to the people who have been running them all of them have a massive reach actually their content is probably popping up on people's needs feeds in the same way that content farm official political parties and political ads are as well and Sujoy why should we care about this stuff because isn't it just a few people in their bedrooms doing few things to their friends and maybe a few of their friends friends so in 2017 labor way behind in the polls they surge in the dead make way close and people expecting all sorts of reasons for that you can never prove why some of voted got away at the same time you have this massive wave of pro-labor content in issues like ivory and fox hunting going crazy on people's feeds and that's one factor that could well proved to be linked to labor success now this is a bit different because there's like 3 big circles of influence as pro-labor there's progress and there's antibiotics and there's not really the indication that one is much bigger than the other so maybe they're all kind of counseling each other out but I think if you just open your Facebook site and see a wave of like parties and stuff every day that might well influence how you vote just as much even more or more than a leaflet through your door or I don't hear on t.v. Or whatever and did you identify some of the big players in this world yet say we created 4 different profiles and Jeremy Vine is going to introduce them the rule remain the Yorkshire breaks the joke on the Corbin Easters Thank you Jeremy for a very enthusiastic go to. Would you like to explain to me who those people are yet say remain there remain a is a lady he's living in Herefordshire and she runs this big page called Stop Bret said limited she wants to but they ought to go 50 and she feels like the mainstream media aren't representing have you all properly covering the need for remaining and say she's trying to do that herself so these are these are real people yeah yeah yeah yeah something Ok let's hear another one from Jeremy Vine then the Yorkshire breaks so she's lady living in North Yorkshire and he runs a big breaks it page at price it page from her safe and often patients often switch on the telly and she again has completely different views to the rural remain but she feels similarly that people like her being properly represented by people down in the newsrooms in London say and say she's very early and think Yeah they are yes say she was complaining about an article that was in the press that spoke about she said. People once Donington and they spoke about everyone like they were like aliens all this kind of foreign tripe and she wants to trying to drown in. The joke who's he or she yeah those are he and to form a practical joker living stuff which are a former prosecutor Yeah we'll do it his hold up his heart. And so he does a joker and he does funny memes about like kind of the style ject things like remembering your nonuse to celebrate to quit and so your birthday cards are the kind of playing on that sort of British old school humor but clearly the demographics of that page the older people and they tend to be a little labor so he sometimes just puts out these sort of anti labor means like I'm too German Corbin and when he spoke to us he sort of it all seemed like a big joke and he said oh not political but we it's kind of what you push democracy Yeah yeah I just I'm just getting into the bloodstream but then your anti Labor members being shared in kind of probity Facebook groups who is the 4th person that knows who's the 1st breath the cold in East as so we spoke to one of the really big prey Corben pages called The Daily politic with a k. With a k. And a team of people who run it and they play still so of you. Left wing content is interesting because like Jerry said before in 2017 these kinds of pages did really really well and they've struggled to maintain the same level of engagement that they did because of the algorithms changing on Facebook I mean you get more you know sense and fairness so explain that so just unpack that a bit for me so essentially Facebook have have changed it so that rather than getting stuff and businesses or media outlets you're more likely to see pace there from your concern friends yeah that they and family which makes it harder for pages like this to get that content. Coupled with the fact the a lot of people who use Facebook are all the older than they were in 2017 and they're funny quite hard to reach younger audiences which is something that they said to us as well right Mulder and Scully can you give us a hint of what else you might be investigating at the moment we're really interested in what's up but it's so hard to find out what's going on or what's up so let's just you know Oh yeah because actually that is a really interesting areas because you can have hundreds of people on a watch that group yeah but obviously you have to be in the group to know who was because yeah it's Facebook you can you know you it can you so I can you can receive a message from me saying vote for this party and it was I forward it you wouldn't know whether that was from pushed out by the party pushed up by some working on their own just written by one mate of mine and I forwarded it to you so actually if you get an interesting political whatsapp you should screen grab it and then tweet it using the hash tag election cast and we can pass that to you in your lap Mariana Joey Molder Scully thank you very much. For your work with your signature music t.v. Show which actually you don't remember but never mind. Right now I'd like to introduce you to some very special guests in the election cast. Which as uses of the Gulf Coast are going to go we know only Gary should go towards He ordered Holy Night has got its finest and you honestly thought of them as on to. Your notion of very very what you're about I do not politics nice little bit of arrow in his. That and so his ability to produce a dino said I had to join in with that I was like I'm not doing that. Well I don't know how to do. This and I can't pay you know I don't so it's very low compared Yeah it sounds like someone I'm not I. Didn't overjoyed I guess for people who don't know who you are can use explain what your podcast is all about of course we are the receipts what cost him everyone's license What if I were kind of like where like every day Chadwick kind of blackouts had lied which makes me cringe a bit now and I don't mean girls who wouldn't talk about anything and everything so I was like um I would talk about relationships. Not. To anything that pertains to being like a black woman in the u.k. Then in China to survive Ok like a group chat come to life Ok yes order your work I am yeah does your boss know you're doing this. And do you ever discuss politics or the election you know well so we had never site once when we didn't. Have Boyd or politicians I'm a little bit ashamed Ok but it happened and we have to be honest I happened to be it's kind of we are all very much like set apart you kind of clean the same things like that so it's kind of it's never like a heated debate on a case they think they kind of all I think that see actually be messed up and we had like different opinions in terms of that cause I think it's such a huge thing apart about like you got your man to be undergoing it's a very I highlighted as a mature thing to do or you could just not be friends Ok Yeah well we've got you here for a very specific task which is the election casters have sent in their dye lemmas for you to sold and I've distributed them right in the table if you want to go 1st . One younger sister cut. Fast on Emma Hi ladies I met my fiance at. In 2010 and we by studied international politics when I 1st met we shared the same political views however in the past year or so his political views changed drastically I've tried to have conversations but he doesn't talk to me properly if I bring up things such as having children in the future what we would want to teach him regarding politics I also obviously don't want to influence not change his views as he is a grown adult but his views are very extreme I love him but I am I right to be concerned I'm so confused please help her you know he's an absolutely right to be concerned Ok I mean I just said I would be friends with these low if they said Let my fiance he was going to spend like forever with and as he think is about that raising our kids what we go into because my like my mom has a massive influence and whoever it for to get us that's like massive So how we going to influence how kids are and I mean maybe kids she just have their own opinions but I mean it doesn't matter how you are poor and what your blow up believe in doesn't matter what political party doesn't like i don't either like people do change though don't I like where that start I was going to say so this is absolutely important the same way I would ask Do you want to get married in the future same way I would ask what religion are you because you know I need to make sure that we are compatible so my thing would be Yes Ok you can come to me saying I support this policy and then you can actually change your mind so what do we want you to do it has to change your mind I think he she said that he is views have changed drastically so that it's like literally from I'm thinking one extreme to the other so. So maybe it was like I don't know a rebellion or. A letter came to remain as he went from right wing to left wing or left and right when you guys are not married cut off and I don't and I have already said she call it off I think she should Yeah I think that. I think that when it comes to decisions that are going to affect your house. It's quite a big thing well I think the basic high I think I think. And Laura's sister and I. Right I am the. Only reason they I mean I always say I don't know I know I should go to Laura I've got to go do this you know that I really didn't want to write so I'm off when e.u. And thank the National Party fall and I'm still single it breaks it to blame. For things going on there you know I just did I did hunted me genuinely is just what that might mean when it comes to die thin ice and I as anything to do with this but I stand by it that the economy right now is all for and it needs to be taken seriously is not a but is unable to find a decent partner anyway yeah I mean being single single I love how we blame everything all right now because. One of the eggs in the song. Could actually just be this girl's voice. It could have nothing to do Popeye file I also people said. Is I know it well she must think it's a tragedy 3 or maybe she thinks it's maybe yes it's an advantage Well I mean I even can I did can I just say Ok. Can I say nice be able to help her out she's to remove I guess my right Ok Or are you going to go so here's the here's what I listed otherwise you know this was sent to me actually by a quite important person in the whole political diplomatic u.k. World by true feel who it is Go on dear Adam why do you have any advice for someone who finds themselves caught in the middle of a messy divorce after 40 plus years asking for a friend well she's also a south. I think so I think you know how do you actually have. To sleep or exit like a horse u.k. You may have to have always here mention shit how would you advise I would try to work out I would not try to leave. I would try to find a solution that was by you when you're home. As much as possible and also maybe we did think about this and ask again is this what we've been doing what. Do we want to see. And see what else we can see some of the good jail oh yes 40 plus I mean look that doesn't matter that it. Doesn't matter how long. I'm very very I think they should come together and figure out a new kind of deal. So. That relationship. I went into minutes this is brilliant we've got a 2nd referendum deal no Dean idea right there right in the same test I was the last 3 and a half minutes. Earlier expanse of the recess and well do you think or do the always end badly really I don't do both well yeah I think just depends on the situation I want to take time is the kids and my kids the citizens. I mean how they deal with it. I don't go for the question if you got a question right person Ok 2nd I know my brother responded as an m.p. In this election how vehemently disagree with pretty much everything his Party espouses We've always argued about politics but it feels a lot bigger and more important round this time as we each do our respective parties would ruin the nation for years to come how on earth to be get through Christmas not talking about we would feel so fake thank you p.s. Election cause is an island of sanity thank you for making my morning very nice. They're going to I think they should just get drunk Christmas and I. Know that you talk about it more it is wrong you know what happens the truth got a record. Really hard something we've forgotten how to do it in Westminster I think and there's a lot the country is just disagree respectfully and say that's Ok you think that How interesting are you saying that you think this. It Ok. Well the best outcome for this might be that her brother doesn't win the election. As I feel I find it easier that is her brother not like her fiance no husband that she has to see every day on a daily basis so I feel like because it's top of all I only have to see on occasions I was fine before I Just any of them I bear you for a few hours she just say's only Christmas Yeah like next weekend I'll just talk about pigs in a blanket and I bet yes I thought it was but was just in these both and then for the p.s.
