Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,119
(Terri) Can I
cancel the subscription?
2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:10,880
Actually, he's dead.
I've got to go.
3
00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:13,080
Can I take it
that it's cancelled?
Thank you.
4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,120
I'm the Minister for fucking
Social Affairs. Hugh Abbot.
5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,440
Could you
explain to these people
I'm the reason they're here?
6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,120
(Terri) Sorry about that.
(Hugh) Amazing place.
7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,920
(Terri) Welcome back.
(Hugh) Thank you.
8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,440
It's ironic, we're both
back on the same day.
9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,800
Although your
reasons for being away
were more important than mine.
10
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:33,640
- Just a frivolous holiday.
- No...
11
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,799
It was fantastic, though.
You can't go wrong with Italy.
12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,600
- But how are you?
- Really upset
and sad about it.
13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,960
- That your father had died.
- My father had died.
14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,439
Anyway...erm...
15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,240
- Shall we...?
- We're upstairs.
16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,200
..get a bit of a wiggle on.
Yes.
17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,600
So, this is like
a sort of governing mall.
18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,399
There's actually
quite a few problems here.
19
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:58,960
- The e-mail
system isn't working.
- Oh.
20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
- And
the intelligent ventilation...
- Intelligent ventilation?
21
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,599
What we've got
is a wind tunnel
up in the Asylum Directorate.
22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Don't let any of those
out as Diary stories.
23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,480
This is us.
24
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:12,879
Right. A bit too light
and airy for my liking.
25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,799
Ooh...and these are awful.
26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,079
Do we have to have those? They
look like Alicia's
Barbie furniture.
27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,159
- Do you think they match?
- Not if you wear that dress.
28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,599
One of them's going to have
to go and I'd rather
it was the sofas.
29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,000
- Is this us?
- Yes, this is actually you.
30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,719
- (Glenn) Isn't
that David Dickinson?
- Ooh, nice tan!
31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,480
I can't take all the credit,
the sun did the work.
32
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:36,400
There's not much privacy.
33
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,000
It doesn't matter.
We're moving upstairs.
34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,439
It's going to be hard
to shoot up in there.
35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,439
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,439
This is so poky.
37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,319
We're not here long enough
for it to matter.
38
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,239
It might interest you.
39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,159
The date for your appearance
before the Education
Select Committee.
40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,000
- It's tomorrow.
- Oh, great!
41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,359
Oh, that is great.
Yes, welcome home, Hugh.
42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,359
Couldn't you
have pushed it back?
43
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Given me something cushy
for my first week back?
44
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,799
A couple of lunches or
a fact finder to Dublin?
45
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,799
That's the date they gave me.
46
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,560
You can't change
Select Committee dates.
47
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:10,560
Oh, can't you?
How did Liam get his changed
48
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:12,680
so he could go
to the Test match?
49
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,080
It's going to be like sitting
on a crate having chicken
shit sprayed over me.
50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,080
I mean, why do we want
to close down schools for kids
with special needs?
51
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,080
It's the one thing that I
really, really,
actually do not want to do.
52
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,719
And yet, bizarrely, I am
the person most intimately
involved in doing it.
53
00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:32,639
Robyn, go and see IT
about the e-mail problem.
54
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,400
Please. That'd be great.
55
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,319
So now Terri's back, I just
get all the dull stuff.
Is that right?
56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,639
Pretty much, yes.
57
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,199
Oh, well, right.
Yeah, well, of course.
58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,360
Well, I'll see you later.
59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Glenn, the Special Needs Bill.
60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,000
With your, you know,
particular interest,
I can't do this.
61
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:55,000
You know my views. Inclusion
is an illusion.
It doesn't work.
62
00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,199
- But you don't
mind if I go with it?
- Of course not.
63
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,400
You know, look,
you're only following orders.
64
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:03,400
So you won't make me feel bad
65
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:05,840
except by comparing me to
a concentration camp guard?
66
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,680
Right.
67
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:11,599
Now, tomorrow.
Select Committee,
that's Ballentine, isn't it?
68
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,879
Who wants to go and
watch bollockvision?
69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,960
Bollockvision?
70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Mr Malcolm Tucker, turning it
all the way up to eleven,
down in the lobby.
71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,199
- (Malcolm shouting)
- (Hugh) Poor Keith!
72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,960
You should have discussed it.
73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,719
Malcolm must love this.
Four ministers
in one building.
74
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,280
It's his dream.
A one-stop bollock-shop.
75
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:33,199
Trouble is, we're going to be
getting some of
that in about an hour.
76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Which is worse? Watching him
rumble towards you
like prostate cancer,
77
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:40,840
or him appearing suddenly out
of nowhere,
like a severe stroke.
78
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,120
Oh...
How's your sister coping?
79
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:48,680
So, Hugh,
this new word, "Citizenship".
80
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,919
Did the PM actually outline
what it entails?
81
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,400
To be honest, I think he was
making the reshuffle up
as he went along.
82
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:58,120
We were lucky that citizenship
was the first word
that sprang to mind.
83
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:01,599
We could be in the Department
for Social Affairs
and Woodland Folk.
84
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:03,520
The problem is, though, Hugh,
85
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,800
that there's been
a bit of a rush,
with you not in place,
86
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,000
every department trying
to unload all the stuff that
they didn't want.
87
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:13,000
It's been like
somebody driving
a lorry down Whitehall,
88
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:16,720
shouting,
"Bring out your shit",
and it's ended up at our door.
89
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:18,399
What are we getting?
90
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:21,839
Citizenship basically involves
cutting pensions
to the Ghurkhas,
91
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:24,680
rejigging the protocols
for a rabies outbreak,
92
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,639
some crap from Health
about long-term
care for the elderly,
93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,360
that neither they
nor we have any idea about.
94
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:33,399
And what to do
with the Isle of Man.
95
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,839
Just what I fucking need.
Five new ways to lose my job.
96
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,639
Where did that come from?
97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,279
- Oh, Malcolm sent that.
- It's far too big.
Why did he send it?
98
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:45,959
Office warming present.
99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240
- So why did he
send us a present?
- I don't know.
100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,120
- Has Security checked this?
- What for?
Tiny little terrorists?
101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,319
- Yes.
- It's a plant. Yes?
102
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,800
So...citizenshit.
103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
What we need is some nice,
touchy-feely,
104
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,800
fondley, sneaky,
hand-in-the-bra policies.
105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560
New bicycles for
special constables,
that sort of thing?
106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Yeah.
107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,040
Making special needs kids
clean up graffiti.
108
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:10,959
That's just very mean.
109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,279
Well, yes. Not, of course,
as mean as making
them spell graffiti.
110
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:15,879
That genuinely is mean.
111
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,879
- I'll go and have
a word with Malcolm.
- OK.
112
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,439
You just took a shit
with your clothes on, Olly.
113
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,600
- Why?
- Glenn's boy, Peter.
114
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:26,480
He went to
a special needs school.
115
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,439
Oh.
116
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,040
Yep.
117
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:35,920
- Glenn's had sex.
- God,
you're such a prick, Olly.
118
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:39,000
There's more to
life than drinks
at the Foreign Office
119
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,879
and Nick Robinson's number
on your Blackberry.
120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,800
All right, fine. Sorry, Hugh.
121
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,519
I feel for the guy. I had
a girlfriend with special
needs once, so I know.
122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,000
Luckily,
I was able to fulfil them.
123
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,279
Oh, God, you're such a...
124
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,199
- Haircut?
- Chemo. Nob.
125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,360
- So, did you enjoy the show?
- Magnificent.
126
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,439
Should I phone Keith, so I
can get his team to watch
you bollock me now?
127
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,480
No, no. Have I got
my bollocking face on?
128
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,519
- Well...
- No,
this is my bollocking face.
129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Oh, crikey, yes.
Thanks for the pot plant,
by the way.
130
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,439
- Did I send that?
- As an office
warming present.
131
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,399
-Christ, she's a great PA,
isn't she, Sam?
-Yes.
132
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,839
She always
remembers the little people.
133
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,160
Look at the size of that.
You could crucify
somebody on that.
134
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,920
So, what do you think
of the new building, eh?
135
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,279
I can't wait to move upstairs,
actually.
136
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,199
I don't like the glass walls
on this floor.
137
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,560
I just feel a bit exposed.
138
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,600
Like a whore in
a Reeperbahn window.
139
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:35,720
Glenn, it's Olly.
140
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,160
He wants you to go through
and clarify
the Citizenship brief.
141
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,680
- How much, love?
- Sorry?
142
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,279
- OK, I'm on it.
- I'll catch you later.
143
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:48,519
I like the tan, by the way.
Have you declared it?
144
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Staying at the villa
of an influential friend.
145
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,160
I haven't got any
influential friends.
146
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,759
- You are my only
influential friend.
- And I'm not your friend.
147
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,199
You're not my friend.
148
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,639
- So,
this Super Schools Bill...
- Yep.
149
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:04,240
You don't think
it's so super, do you?
150
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,199
- You're doing it now.
- What?
151
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,199
That's your bollocking face.
152
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,000
You know, it's great that you
get all misty eyed
over Glenn's kid.
153
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,560
But no one's
trying to fuck over
special needs kids.
154
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,079
R...Really?
155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,199
Before I went away,
I consulted an expert,
Mark Ryan.
156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,199
The LSE education guy? And
what did that sandal-wearing
nonce have to say?
157
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Closing down
special needs schools
158
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:33,560
and putting needy kids into
mainstream
education is a lousy idea.
159
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,519
I've got an expert
who will deny that.
160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,800
SEN parents want
the schools kept open.
161
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,680
Yeah, well, my expert
would totally oppose that.
162
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,959
Who is your expert?
163
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,160
No idea, but I can
get one by this afternoon.
164
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,800
You have spoken to the wrong
expert. You've got to ask
the right expert.
165
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:54,120
You've got to know what an
expert's going to advise
before he advises.
166
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,759
Hugh, whether you like this
or not, you are going to have
to promote this Bill.
167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,199
So what I'm going to do is,
I'm going to get
you another expert.
168
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,399
OK.
169
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:06,600
But surely, Mr Smedley,
170
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:10,360
inclusion has been shown
to fail the most
vulnerable SEN children.
171
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:15,439
When inclusion's done badly,
yes. Yes, you get bad results.
That's a given.
172
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,399
Inclusion is an illusion.
173
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:19,920
Mark Ryan from
the LSE was saying that
174
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,199
when the special schools
do get it right,
175
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,399
that the parents
of SEN children
absolutely fucking flock to...
176
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,399
- You spoke to Mark Ryan?
- Yeah,
well, some expert advice.
177
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,240
- Expert advice
from Mark Ryan?
- Yeah.
178
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:33,480
- You have a problem
with Ryan?
179
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,200
- In educational circles,
he's a joke.
180
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,200
- That's another given.
- Is it?
181
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,440
- (E-mail alert)
- Ah, sorry.
182
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,200
It's just that I'm
expecting something
quite important.
183
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Is our e-mail up
and running?
184
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,279
No. No, no,
this is my hotmail.
185
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,679
Sorry,
can you excuse me just erm...
186
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,120
(Smedley) We live
in an inclusive society.
187
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,200
We all rub shoulders
together, Mr Cullen?
188
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,720
Indeed.
189
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:04,440
Let's not let the
Ryans of this world create...
190
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,600
- Sorry?
- ..apartheid for children.
191
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:09,960
The alternative is to isolate
these kids in ghetto schools.
192
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,440
The minister
won't be a moment.
193
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,879
(Olly) Good
spot for a suicide,
I would think.
194
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,320
Good long drop,
appreciative audience.
195
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120
What if you just
broke your back?
196
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:22,080
It'd leave you
paralysed for life,
197
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,399
and you'd still be depressed
about the thing that
was depressing you.
198
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200
- What are these
hangy-down things?
- (Olly) Acoustic baffles.
199
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,039
They stop it
getting too echoey.
200
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,159
So when you break your back,
nobody can hear you scream.
201
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Well, that is the kind
of attention to detail that
you get in a PFI building.
202
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:42,240
Hey!
Get back to work, all of you!
203
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Right, I'm off to
Number Ten for this
Cabinet summit
204
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:50,759
with the PM and Education,
try and swing
this Bill around.
205
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:53,679
Now, if it drags on
can you phone my
home and tell Kate?
206
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,600
She doesn't watch rolling news
because she's
a normal human being.
207
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,279
(Parody accent)
Yes, massah, I's a good slave!
208
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,200
- Can I say, that manner...
- Something
catastrophic has happened!
209
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320
Whoa! What's going on?
210
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,600
I've just had a phone call
from a man. He's got a child,
he lives in Reigate.
211
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:16,279
This child, she is called
Glenn, after Glenn Close,
and her surname is Cullen.
212
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,039
She's Glenn Cullen. And this
morning,
apparently, in her in...
213
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,080
In the e-mail tray,
she got a note,
214
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,519
and it used these words.
"Christ",
215
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,799
and "cunt".
216
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,519
And apparently I sent it.
217
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,879
- No!
- Anybody could
use that computer.
218
00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:38,799
- Hugh,
Glenn says can you head over?
- Yes, I must, I must...
219
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,080
Olly was using it.
Olly was using it earlier.
220
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,799
Did you send an e-mail,
Olly, about me,
calling me a cunt?
221
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,679
No. No, I never use that word,
let alone about you.
No. Absolutely.
222
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,080
I won't use it
until it's been
fully normalised
223
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,480
and has no further association
with the female twat.
224
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:57,960
- It was you!
- We'll get to
the bottom of this.
225
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240
I've got to go off to
Number Ten, but I absolutely
give you my word.
226
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:02,919
Look.
227
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200
Hugh...
228
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,039
No, I didn't get any e-mail
about Roy Smedley.
Was it funny?
229
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,200
Kind of. It was a bit sweary.
230
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,000
At least he's
served his purpose.
231
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:16,759
We've now got
some very useful
material to trot out
232
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,600
in case My Bloody Ballentine
wants to know
233
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,840
why you've done a U-turn
in favour of inclusion.
234
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:25,840
But I haven't.
235
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:28,120
I'm going to take a fucking
stand. I'm buggered if I
let you down now.
236
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:32,080
I'm going to go in to the PM
and tell him straight up,
this bill is bollocks.
237
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,519
No, you're not.
238
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,039
No, I'm not, but
it would be great if I did.
239
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:39,039
Another little bit
of my soul chipped away.
240
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Don't worry about it.
241
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,240
(Frantic stonewalling)
242
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:49,600
Hugh, the Guardianweb site
has broken the e-mail thing.
243
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,480
In the final edition,
here, of the Standard
244
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:55,480
I am suddenly
a major news story.
245
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:57,240
Sweary Woman Of Whitehall.
246
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:59,000
Sweary Woman Of Whitehall.
A pun.
247
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,320
It's not really punning
on anything, is it?
248
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,519
How do you
appear out of nowhere
in a building made of glass?
249
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,399
I'm a shape shifter.
I don't need this,
get this fucking sorted.
250
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,919
What is wrong with you?
Having a nervous breakdown?
251
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,039
Get on top of it, OK?
You will see me again.
252
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,000
I don't want this, Hugh.
I don't want to be the story.
253
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:22,600
The Sunare running a cartoon
with you being
arrested by a cuntstable.
254
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:25,799
- Olly,
don't be such a bastard.
- Hey, whoa, turd tonsils.
255
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,600
That's quite
enough of that, Olly.
Just knock it off, OK.
256
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:33,039
Terri, Terri, come with me.
Come here.
257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,960
Just fucking act your age.
We've had enough of your
puerile influence.
258
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,519
Actually, I think
I might have an idea about...
259
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,600
Just...just tell me,
truthfully,
260
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,159
did you send that e-mail?
261
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,639
No, I didn't.
262
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:53,840
And you know I didn't.
263
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,639
- What? I'm sorry?
Are you inferring...
- Implying.
264
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,039
- You're implying
that...it was me?
- Hmm.
265
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,039
(Whispering) I saw you, Hugh.
I saw you do it.
266
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:16,159
(Floor creaking)
267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,080
It...it was for Glenn,
for our Glenn.
268
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,679
To amuse him when that
prick man was in his office,
269
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,159
and I just typed in
the wrong address.
270
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,799
It was a genuine mistake.
271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,159
I didn't really see you.
I was bluffing.
272
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,480
That doesn't bode well
for your Select
Committee performance.
273
00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:41,960
I knew you were bluffing.
I admitted it because it's
the right thing to do.
274
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Not because
you'd caught me out.
And I caught you out.
275
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,039
You lied about
seeing me do it.
276
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,799
So,
how do you like them apples?
277
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,519
Are you going to
admit to this publicly?
278
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,159
What?
279
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,759
No! Are you mad? I can't do
that. That mustn't happen.
You've got...
280
00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:00,600
- I need you to...to...to...
- What? To lie?
281
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,600
It was Derrida who said
there is no such thing as
empirical truth.
282
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,240
I'll tell you what Derrida
said. He said,
"Go fuck your face, Abbot!"
283
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:12,200
You need to mind your
language. It will keep
getting you into trouble.
284
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,360
I can't even get out
of the fucking room!
285
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:16,480
(Terri) Excuse me.
286
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:19,919
Now to the meat
of the Committee's interest.
287
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240
You've made quite a U-turn on
SEN schools,
have you not, Minister?
288
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:25,840
Why have you sold out?
289
00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:28,840
Sold out? That's rather
an emotive way of putting it.
290
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,399
But you are on record
as having been in opposition
291
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,480
to the policy of inclusion.
292
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:38,759
No, it's just that times have
changed and I have
reassessed the landscape.
293
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:41,759
We now have
the funding for academies
294
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:44,960
which will have two
behaviour support teachers.
295
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,559
These Super Schools
will offer skill clusters...
296
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,200
But we're not
interested in that.
297
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,000
What the Committee
are curious about is
298
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,720
how it is that
you've changed your mind,
299
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:59,080
given your
opposition to these policies
in the past.
300
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,519
Did you seek
specialist advice?
301
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:04,799
Well, naturally.
I sought expert advice.
302
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Yes. Who?
303
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,399
- Roy Smedley.
- And?
304
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,559
And...he was very good.
305
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,799
And his was
the only advice you took?
306
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,399
You saw only one expert?
307
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,799
Yes.
308
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:27,759
And you thought
that was enough?
Just one?
309
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:32,039
- I tried to find
somebody different.
- And did you succeed?
310
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,679
- No.
- No one?
311
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,039
No.
312
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:38,360
How was that?
313
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:40,399
I lied to
the Select Committee. I lied.
314
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,879
- Is Tucker in the building?
- Malcolm In The Middle.
315
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:47,679
It's what they're calling him.
He can stand in
the atrium and shout.
316
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,399
I don't want to see him.
317
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,600
I can't take one
of his scenes from
The Exorcistjust now.
318
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:53,600
I don't think
Ballentine's on to anything.
319
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:55,080
Oh, no?
320
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Well, why did she keep asking,
"Just one expert? Only one?
321
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,399
"Less than three,
but not two?"
Fucking bitch!
322
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,440
She's trying to
throw you off balance,
like a Sumo wrestler.
323
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,200
It worked.
I was on the floor,
in a fucking nappy.
324
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,159
Oh, shit, it's Malcolm.
325
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,639
- A man in his 50s, hiding.
- Look, he's gone.
Hugh, come out.
326
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:17,799
Get it in perspective.
It's not a major lie.
327
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,799
It's not like you were selling
naval secrets down a gay club.
328
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,799
Why does he never
laugh with me like that?
329
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,240
(Olly) Lack of click?
330
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,799
I thought I was
a professional press officer.
331
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,240
I don't know.
332
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,200
It just is absolute hell.
333
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,120
- Hi.
- Oh, hello.
334
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,879
- How is the...
- I'm actually in
a bit of a state here.
335
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:38,399
Yeah.
336
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,279
Something cropped up
that we need to talk about,
337
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,600
and then
afterwards you can get on
with whatever... You know.
338
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:45,799
Don't you think that
I'm due a bit of support?
339
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,759
Yes, I do, I do. Absolutely.
340
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,799
But my Committee thing is
actually a bigger deal than
your...sweary thing.
341
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,200
So, you know...it just is.
342
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,799
- Hi, Malcolm.
- Were you hiding just now?
343
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,399
No.
344
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,039
Terri, you're giving
a press
conference in 90 minutes.
345
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,360
You're going to apologise.
346
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,599
There's your statement.
Learn it.
347
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,400
Erm...I organise
the press conferences.
348
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,400
- I don't give them, normally.
- Oh, God!
349
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,240
As you're not used to this,
I'll go through it for you.
350
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:16,160
What happens is this.
A bunch of
press people appear.
351
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,839
They have things called
cameras and microphones,
352
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,160
and mobile phones,
hangovers and bad breath.
353
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,839
Then you are going to walk
out and read from what we call
a prepared statement.
354
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,440
In that, you will say,
355
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,000
"I'm really fucking sorry
356
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,000
"for sounding like
a hairy arsed docker
after 12 pints.
357
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:36,759
"I promise that I will never
call an eight-year-old
girl a cunt again.
358
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:40,240
"Can we now just draw a line
over this and fucking move on?
Thank you."
359
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:42,759
Everybody goes home
and we see what happens.
360
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:44,720
The best case is
you keep your job,
361
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:47,079
although you will be
The Sweary Woman of Whitehall.
362
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,079
This first Mark Ryan meeting
would be in the diary.
363
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Do you want us to see if we
could post that down
the memory hole?
364
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:55,799
I mean, diaries do
get lost, don't they?
365
00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:57,319
Well, yes.
366
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,799
- We've lost a few
diaries in our time.
- Well, erm...
367
00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:02,799
Listen, do it subtly.
I don't want to know about it.
368
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:05,400
- I mean,
do it, but don't tell me.
- OK.
369
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,799
- Do I know?
- Yeah. No. I don't know.
370
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:10,720
- Do I?
- Don't... You sort it out.
371
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:12,240
Do I know?
372
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:14,799
Sort it out but don't tell me
because I don't want to know.
373
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:18,000
I don't think
you quite get it.
My life is in tatters.
374
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:22,440
Nobody will speak to me at my
daughter's school.
Why should I lie for Hugh?
375
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,599
Because it's your job
to make him look good.
376
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,480
What kind of a PR person
are you, anyway?
377
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,799
I mean, look.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
378
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,000
Are you going to
take a bad story
and make it worse?
379
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:35,799
You say,
"Oh, hi there, everyone.
380
00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:39,000
"I know this looks bad,
but wait till you hear this.
381
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:42,599
"It was actually the Minister
for Social
Affairs and Citizenship
382
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,200
"who called a child a cunt.
383
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,519
"There you are,
it is worse than we thought."
384
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:51,599
If you were to go out there
and tell the truth,
385
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,400
it would be morally repugnant.
386
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,880
Because you
would be condemning
387
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,599
a guy who's doing
his fucking best
to try and make things better.
388
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,319
You'd be condemning him
to the scrapheap.
389
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,599
(Terri) Right...
(Malcolm) OK?
390
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,839
- Yes.
- Good girl.
Get Robyn, she'll help you.
391
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,480
Robyn, can you help her
go over her lines?
392
00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,000
It was interesting,
watching you
talking about the truth,
393
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,799
because I had
a similar problem today,
funnily enough.
394
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:19,880
Really?
395
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,880
At the Committee, I didn't...
396
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,400
Well, unwittingly, I didn't
tell the entire truth.
397
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200
- You lied?
To Claire Ballentine?
- Yeah.
398
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,559
Does she know?
399
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:31,400
I don't think so.
She couldn't possibly.
400
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,279
That doesn't matter, then.
401
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:36,440
I lied to
the Select Committee.
It's like lying to the House.
402
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,200
Yeah, I know.
But if she doesn't know,
then it doesn't matter, Hugh.
403
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,400
Excuse me, but
I can't be fielding calls.
404
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,640
I have got a lot
of lines to learn.
It's Ballentine's office.
405
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,480
They want Departmental diaries
from the last 12 weeks.
406
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:50,640
- Shit!
- She's on to us, she must be.
407
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,839
- Why else...
- Have you got the diaries?
408
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,599
Yes, in a sense.
409
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Olly might be doing something
with the diaries
410
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:00,799
I don't know about
because he hasn't told me.
411
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:04,079
Well, you get him to undo
what you don't
know he's doing.
412
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,599
I can't.
I don't know he's doing it.
413
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,680
Hugh, go and get
Olly and Glenn in here.
414
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,720
This is serious.
You have lied to
a Select Committee.
415
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,480
- I told you that.
- That's like
lying to the House.
416
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:17,079
- That's what I said.
- They're on to you!
417
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Jesus Christ!
418
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,559
Malcolm, do you think
this is too bright?
419
00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:22,960
It's too bright.
420
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Can you please, Robyn,
go to the Sketchley concession
421
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:26,640
and get my grey suit? Now.
422
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,720
Do I look ten?
Do I look like I'm
on some bloody...
423
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,839
Please, just do it.
Get the suit.
424
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,759
- Can I have the money?
- Don't you get paid?
425
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:37,119
Have you got the diaries?
426
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,799
- Yes.
- I don't know.
427
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:42,200
- We've not shredded anything.
- I don't want to hear this.
428
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,440
Hugh, take your fingers
out of your fucking ears.
429
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,880
You're going to go
to the Committee tomorrow
and you're going to apologise.
430
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,839
I'll tell them I forgot.
Forgetting's an involuntary
thing. It's like farting.
431
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,240
(Rapping on glass)
432
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:56,880
(Terri) Malcolm!
433
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,599
- What?
- You were meant to
be dealing with me.
434
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,400
The worst that
can happen to you
is you'll lose your job.
435
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,839
- I'm going to
lose my reputation.
- Grow up.
436
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240
- You should be
doing the growing up.
- I am a fucking grown-up.
437
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:12,599
- You could have fooled me!
- Glenn's son
could have fooled you.
438
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,359
No offence, Glenn.
439
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,759
You two get
the paper trail sorted
and get your story sorted out.
440
00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:19,839
I'm sorry,
can you stop swearing?
441
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,200
I'm really sorry. You won't
hear any more
swearing from us,
442
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,079
you massive, gay shite!
443
00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:28,200
Fuck off!
444
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,559
Right, how are you doing
in sorting out
whether he lied or not?
445
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:34,480
- Pretty well.
- Is that a lie?
446
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,039
- Yeah.
- That is not
fucking funny, you retard.
447
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,400
I'm sorry about that, Glenn.
The situation just...
448
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,839
Here she comes.
449
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:50,240
(Hugh) That fucking sofa!
450
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:54,160
I would like to offermy sincere andunreserved apologies
451
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,480
for the terrible outragecaused bythe e-mail that I sent.
452
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:02,599
It was never meant to be read
by anybody other than
the intended recipient.
453
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:06,640
- I understand that the...
- Oh, for...
454
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,960
- What the hell's he...
- Twat!
455
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,799
..language I usedin the e-mail...
456
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,920
He doesn't realise that if you
walk in front of the camera...
457
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,480
..like that in an internaldepartmental conversation,
458
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,480
or any conversation.
459
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:22,799
I wish I hadnever sent the e-mail,
460
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:26,039
and indeed, I find ithard to believe that I did.
461
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:28,599
Whoa,
she's gone off script here.
462
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,559
Fucking hell, Terri, what...?
463
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:35,759
..momentarylapse in restraint...and that...
464
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:39,200
- OK, we're back on track.
- Thank God.
465
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,200
..and I wish to apologisethat I've let down
466
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,599
the electorate, the minister,
my colleagues,
467
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,799
my own family...
468
00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:50,759
(Glenn) Even though
half of them are dead.
469
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:53,119
..and indeed,the voters of the future...
470
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,279
- Our children.
- ..our children.
471
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,039
Now get off.
472
00:22:57,079 --> 00:23:01,240
Brilliant, Malcolm.
Fucking stunning.
Well done, mate.
473
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:03,519
OK, we've got to get upstairs
474
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:06,519
and start rehearsing for
tomorrow's Select Committee.
475
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,839
I'm never going to get out of
this fucking building, am I?
476
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,400
Do you remember when I came
to see Peter's
concert at his school?
477
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,960
His face? The pride
he had when he played?
478
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,640
- His face
etched in my memory.
- Yeah?
479
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Fucking unbearable.
480
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,599
That's why I needed Malcolm's
expert to try and wipe
it from my mind.
481
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,000
- It hasn't
really worked, though.
- Hugh, mate, don't panic.
482
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,359
You'll manage. Just do what
you have to do. Whatever you
have to do, do it.
483
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,480
Just make sure that
you don't get sweat
on your upper lip.
484
00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:37,920
It makes you look guilty.
485
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000
- What am I supposed to do?
- I've no idea.
486
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,720
But if you sweat,
it makes your
face look like Spam.
487
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:45,200
It has come to
the Committee's notice
488
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,720
that you did not see
just one special adviser,
489
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:53,079
as you told us in your
previous appearance, but two.
490
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,279
Why did you omit to
mention that fact?
491
00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:59,319
Yes, I apologise unreservedly
for that oversight.
492
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,559
- I forgot.
- Are you forgetful generally?
493
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:07,079
Well, it's hard to know...
erm...how forgetful one is.
494
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,200
You'd have to remember all the
things you'd
remembered and forgotten.
495
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,680
And how could I remember
what I've forgotten,
496
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,839
because I've forgotten it,
by definition?
497
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,720
I'm pretty good. If I see a
picture of the Queen,
I can put a name to a face.
498
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,720
And if I see a movie,
I don't sit there, going,
499
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:26,400
"Who's that one?
The copper or the pirate?"
500
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,599
So you just accidentally
told a slight untruth?
501
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:35,440
I... My statement
was unintentionally
not a truthful statement.
502
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720
- I...I...I slightly misled...
- You completely misled.
503
00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:42,480
I misled the Committee
and I have
apologised for that.
504
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:45,119
Are you lying now
about not lying before?
505
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,839
Erm...no. I am not a liar.
506
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,880
I categorically did not
knowingly...not
tell the truth.
507
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,000
Even though unknowingly
I might not have done.
508
00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:59,960
I wanted to come back
and apologise to
the Committee...
509
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,240
Glad to be of service, but you
didn't want to
come back, Minister.
510
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:05,680
You were told to come back.
511
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,279
The last thing in the world
you wanted was to come back,
512
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:10,960
given how busy you have been.
513
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,680
Interestingly enough,
we do notice from your diaries
514
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,400
that your meeting
with Roy Smedley
515
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
seems to have taken place
at almost the same time
516
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:21,680
as the notorious
sweary e-mail was sent.
517
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,799
I was in that meeting,
so I couldn't
possibly have sent it.
518
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:28,640
I wasn't suggesting...
It was your
Chief Press Officer.
519
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,559
Yes, it was.
And her father's just died.
520
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:34,319
I'm sorry to hear that.
No one was suggesting...
521
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,240
No, no, and quite right, too.
But you know what
people are like.
522
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:41,400
Going back to my,
erm...initial concern,
it would now seem that
523
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,599
the two meetings you had with
the two special
education advisers
524
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,319
provided you with
two opposing verdicts
on this particular issue.
525
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,079
Yet you came up with one.
526
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,680
So would it be therefore
true to say
that the Government
527
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,039
is intent on pushing this
through regardless of
what anyone says?
528
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:01,960
No. We wanted two opinions
because we wanted
to start a debate.
529
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,519
Not much of
a debate if you ignore one
and just go with the other.
530
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:09,240
It's a personal thing, but
if government isn't personal,
531
00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:10,720
then what the hell is it?
532
00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:14,200
My senior adviser,
Glenn Cullen,
533
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,160
has a son, his name is Peter,
534
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,359
and he has special
educational needs.
535
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,400
Glenn obviously
wouldn't say
anything about it.
536
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,240
He's far too professional.
537
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:31,880
But I had the privilege of
going down with Glenn to
Peter's SEN school,
538
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,640
and watched Peter playing
the trombone in
the school orchestra.
539
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,839
It wasn't very good.
540
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,200
Erm... He struggled manfully.
541
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,799
And Glenn leaned over to me,
and he said,
542
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:50,519
you know, "If only
this was a Super School."
543
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:52,759
Inclusion is not an illusion.
544
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,400
And...
545
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,000
I think that tipped
the balance for me.
546
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,039
It's a personal thing.
547
00:27:05,599 --> 00:27:07,079
(Glenn exhaling)
548
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,559
- Say something.
- Well, what is to say?
549
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:14,400
I can't believe you did that.
550
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,400
You said do
what you have to do.
551
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,000
I understand that,
and I know nothing is sacred.
552
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:23,160
- But I didn't mean
for you to do that.
- Were you misleading me?
553
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:28,799
- Don't give me that bollocks.
- I...I'm sorry.
OK? I'm really sorry.
554
00:27:28,839 --> 00:27:31,559
Do you know, I wish
I'd kept Peter's trombone.
555
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:35,200
If I had,
I'd shove it up your arse,
wide end first.
556
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Listen, you're
the best senior adviser
anybody could want, and...
557
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,119
Come on, you're my best pal.
558
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,839
- OK.
- So, am I...?
559
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,960
(Hugh) Hello.
Are you all right?
560
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Very strong performance,
by the way,
the apology.
561
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:00,000
So you think you
can get round me
with compliments, do you?
562
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:03,079
I understand I'm not your
favourite
chocolate in the box,
563
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,839
but I appreciate everything,
and I will fight for you,
564
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,839
irrespective of what you did.
565
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,200
What I did? I didn't do it,
Hugh! Do you remember,
you sent the e-mail!
566
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,720
- I forgot.
- Forgot?
567
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:16,440
No, not forgot.
568
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,799
I can't get anything right at
the moment.
I'm going to go away.
569
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,799
Go to the gents. Look
at the man standing in front
of you in the mirror,
570
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:26,039
and say, "Can I live with him?
Can I?"
571
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:28,200
- You're in there.
- I don't know what
else can go wrong.
572
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,799
Unless the energy system
sets fire to my
office and puts it out
573
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:34,559
by squirting liquefied shit
through the sprinklers.
574
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:37,599
- Malcolm's coming this way.
- Oh, God.
575
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,000
Check out. Malcolm Tucker
is leaving the building.
576
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:42,279
Oh, right.
577
00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:45,200
I want to say well done,
you slippery fuck.
578
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,200
You should be able to
weasel your way out
579
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,279
and come back smelling
like a perfumed trollop.
580
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,200
- Thank you.
- No problem.
581
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Hey, I'm going to have
a swear box installed
on Monday, by the way.
582
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,960
- What?
- Fucking joking, you twat.
583
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,200
Right.
584
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,839
- I'm in turbo. Laters.
- Yeah.
585
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,720
(Malcolm) Oi!
How're you doing?
586
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,440
(Heavy sigh)
587
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,680
- Good night.
- Good night.
