1:14
at has cropped up quite recently not only
1:16
in private eye but also the pages of the new
1:18
york times very swiss so
1:21
we thought it was time to get richer back on and ask
1:23
what mister show like now so i heard
1:26
has been up to since then his richard
1:28
two things really is no longer treasurer of the
1:30
tory party he finished his term
1:33
he's now also sir
1:35
a hoot sure like neither
1:38
the arrived after he gave three point
1:40
six million pounds to the tory
1:42
party and he was knighted a nut
1:44
trees amazed dissolution honest
1:47
list will dissolute on his list
1:49
as some people call him and since he got his knighthood
1:51
he's given about nine thousand pounds for a party
1:53
ticket which isn't to grateful other thing
1:56
three dropped off yeah yeah shame i'm in
1:58
the last time you covered in really substantially
2:01
the i was in roughly march twenty
2:03
nineteen and i think than i was that olson
2:05
so slightly dispiriting see the only
2:07
of yeah it's the reverse cursive
2:09
name again yeah exactly
2:12
okay so the so i had celexa
2:14
had shelley we now know what has he been up to
2:17
in the last three years he must have found time since he
2:19
still being treasurer well and the last
2:21
three is is carried on being the
2:24
, owner of the house in art
2:27
gallery gallery mayfair
2:29
i'm not sure if you've been there but if you have you
2:31
have quite a few
2:33
andy warhol tight prince
2:35
and various other more
2:37
contemporary artists of well
2:40
questionable artistic merit
2:42
i would say but you know that's a dining
2:44
lawn gnome doesn't employ me as an art critics
2:46
so i'll leave it there he ,
2:48
said called bit more money off to then
2:50
and to the go as nice as a say in them twenty
2:53
twenty and he's basically continued
2:56
running the gallery the pandemic of
2:58
as he wasn't kind to art galleries but the
3:00
in there is evidence that we reported
3:02
have some very dubious furlough claims
3:05
by the company we had
3:07
completely contradictory explanations
3:09
from them as to whether they were employing
3:11
people and still
3:14
, and paying them further same time
3:17
lots of sources saying they were so
3:20
that in look good he's taken quite a bit
3:22
of taxpayer support but otherwise fairly
3:25
quiet on the select from until
3:27
a , months ago when we
3:30
reported some fairly
3:32
serious concerns from within please
3:34
bank which did date
3:37
back a bit too when he was giving money
3:39
to the tory party and a source told
3:41
us that there was real consternation
3:43
in the bank about the source of that money
3:46
and that it was connected to his father
3:48
in law
3:50
those his father in law is only one year older
3:52
than him but we can maybe get onto that
3:54
in a minutes he's a former ukrainian
3:56
government official and that his name sergei
3:59
capito
4:00
and he had he had also has a pretty questionable
4:02
background he now has substantial interests
4:04
in hotels in crimea but
4:07
he was fifteen years or so ago
4:09
he was a ukrainian government official in the interior
4:11
ministry then he became a
4:14
minister in the
4:16
crimean administration
4:19
the crimean parliament which was ten
4:21
before the twenty fourteen annexation
4:24
when that particular parliament was under control
4:26
of the party of the regions which
4:28
was the the party
4:31
are run by yanukovych
4:35
who was the inner unceremoniously
4:37
booted out following the modern
4:39
protests and is
4:42
now hold up in moscow somewhere
4:45
there we have this show like sorry sir
4:47
i heard a who has connections with and missed capitals
4:50
and discipline reminder for listeners who may
4:52
not have gone back and listen to a march twenty nine teen
4:54
episode of the fall into this one
4:57
and there were concerned about the sources of the
4:59
money at the time so it's halcyon as
5:01
you said rang companies in singapore
5:03
hong kong shanghai which were buying and selling
5:05
off from the uk company
5:08
or of house in the uk brunch with as it were
5:10
see apparently to be delivered to overseas customers
5:13
but they were discrepancies in the numbers halcyon
5:15
claimed that the
5:17
uk branch was buying tens of millions of
5:19
pounds with an art every year from singapore
5:22
that money wasn't showing up showing the singaporean
5:24
accounts that's rather worth some strange
5:27
discrepancies and there was also say that of art
5:29
trading been done in the uk through
5:32
these offshore companies so there was a lot
5:34
of you know what circumference
5:36
would euphemistically called tax planning going
5:38
on on i was just one one
5:41
speak to the house him business that we reported
5:44
on from the other was dealings
5:46
that some chalet candice partner
5:48
pool green had with some very dubious
5:51
characters out in russia
5:53
and so even at the time there were
5:56
questions about where the millions
5:58
of pounds and total that the show like as
6:00
he was then had donated to the conservative
6:02
party where that money might be coming from because there are
6:04
obviously rules about where money
6:07
in donated to political parties isn't allowed to come
6:09
from i think that might
6:11
bring us back to mr copies of now
6:14
yeah and this is something of the new york times as be
6:16
picking up but that youth also been on the trail
6:18
of can you tell us about that and of a mojito yeah
6:21
well it turns out that the the concerns
6:23
that have been expressed to us by the source
6:26
a couple and that we reported a couple of months
6:28
ago about mr coffee shops money
6:30
were very well founded because a
6:32
couple of weeks ago james bradley
6:35
who's the new york times reporter in london
6:37
got site holes a
6:39
what's called a suspicious activity
6:41
reports from barclays
6:44
bank to the national
6:46
crime agency in the uk these
6:48
reports have to be made were bankers are
6:50
suspicious that the
6:53
money they're being asked to handle might
6:55
be a bit iffy and they
6:57
might be in danger of becoming
6:59
involved in money laundering and this suspicious
7:02
activity report which we've gone
7:04
into a bit in the in the latest
7:06
issue described
7:08
, a convoluted flow of funds
7:11
thirsty from copy toss to
7:13
said egg and his his
7:16
kopitar daughter and then how that sort
7:18
of ping between various accounts
7:21
and accounts the selig
7:23
family trust and family was lent
7:26
again to said egg before
7:28
he donated a big
7:30
chunk of it for about four
7:32
hundred fifty thousand pounds to
7:34
the conservative party so that's what the new
7:36
york times exposed
7:39
and he have it's kind of the a
7:41
strange that's a couple
7:43
of months ago there was this was the
7:45
big story in the country is strange
7:48
my a russian money coming in because of them
7:51
once once russia invaded term
7:53
ukraine everybody got interested in it again
7:55
but this single the incident
7:57
really dwarfs or kind of things that
8:00
we're getting very often or under the collar about
8:02
then it's you nice absolutely huge
8:04
not only did does shed a
8:06
the and eight four hundred fifty thousand pounds in
8:09
february twenty eighteen but three
8:11
months after that
8:13
having received remember to and a half million dollars
8:15
from copies of in may
8:17
twenty eighteen he gave he gave
8:20
seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds though
8:23
you know we're getting pretty close to
8:26
the bulk of that to and a half million dollars by
8:28
now it's so is does appear that
8:30
huge amount of money comes in from this very
8:32
questionable character in ukraine
8:35
, and then very
8:38
large amounts go into the conservative party
8:40
coffers and , to be clear
8:42
if mister colbert of a tried to make that donation
8:44
himself he wouldn't have been on and is that
8:46
right now that's right this is what the saw
8:49
says that the suspicious activity report
8:51
that you know one of the reasons they were
8:53
concerned was because because
8:55
will be illegal for money to come from
8:57
someone who's not on the uk
9:00
electoral roll what can be
9:02
done next to a the prove
9:04
or disprove this claim this mean it's entirely
9:06
possible that he sums of money it's a completely
9:09
unconnected it just has commenced to be that
9:11
us the money goes from have to go out to mr
9:13
selig and them from his deselect a different amount
9:16
as you know different completely you yeah
9:18
different think the
9:19
the regulators the electoral commission
9:21
ought to take a look at it take a judgment and
9:23
i think they are you
9:26
know cause if you will to talk about criminal
9:28
offenses you will oversee
9:30
have to prove that or you know beyond reasonable
9:32
doubt but in terms of the
9:35
regulatory offenses i'm
9:37
not sure you would need to and i think
9:39
they really ought have a look at this and say come on if
9:41
we can't say this there's no
9:43
and unallowable donation then what can
9:45
we say is is it it would just be too
9:47
easy oh you would have to do
9:50
is put money from a foreign donors into an
9:52
account with at least that much money in it already
9:56
then pass on the same amount but
9:58
say a similar amount but say that
10:00
wasn't the money that came in that was the money that was already
10:02
in the accounts right you know in the money
10:04
that i'm getting from borders actually just you know filling
10:07
up my account all that
10:10
, pay my shopping bill or whatever
10:13
yeah i'm using that for that different reason the
10:15
tourney
10:16
possible indication as to why
10:19
these might have been made you
10:21
can understand why must select matter wanted to donate
10:24
the conservative party poppers are
10:26
almost all parties ,
10:28
have made enormous enormous
10:30
to the party and almost all of thing going
10:32
to be knighted think it might be all
10:34
become lords at the royalists
10:37
a bit unlucky he's unlucky kind
10:39
of exposed a bit
10:41
before he's got to that stage and done if
10:43
he will make the red benches
10:46
yet that
10:49
account i'm not sure why woods
10:54
We don't know you, you can only speculate
10:56
and you can very quickly get into conspiracy
10:58
theories. But you
11:00
had
11:02
absolutely no interest
11:06
until he started giving large
11:08
sums of money to the Tory party in 2017,
11:11
decided for
11:13
some reason you wanted to get into politics of
11:18
Treasurer, which is more of a sort of honorary
11:20
title that I
11:22
am holding any work and then
11:25
came the Knighthood.
11:27
I'm not questioning note stating
11:29
that any particular has
11:31
broken a law in general.
11:34
Just as cash for runners. That's
11:36
what it is. You give the money roll.
11:40
Treasure troll. Then
11:42
you can get the owner for services to
11:45
politics politics,
11:48
but
11:52
why did he want to become so? prominent
11:54
and next of to party why did he want the knighthood
11:56
in the peerage was that to gain some sort
11:58
of influence is there something really dangerous
12:02
hear something about
12:04
russian influence we don't know have
12:06
you been in touch with or sarah hoods representatives
12:09
about this yes
12:10
No recently. I was want to go fuck.
12:12
I think I didn't used to get straight onzas
12:14
in touch with mister copies off
12:16
a
12:18
retard. public
12:21
servant the he is yes he is
12:23
just a retired pensioner is what he called
12:26
himself even a owns lot
12:28
since they're expensive hotels
12:30
and guess multimillion dollar gifts
12:33
reminds , a bit of fun hyman roth
12:35
in the godfather to remember he used
12:38
when asked what he was doing
12:40
by the f b i said i'm just said retired
12:42
investor living on a pension he
12:45
was evasive maffia kingpin
12:48
but we're not going to say that any of these papers anything
12:50
like that probably for the benefits such
12:53
as hoot sell eggs weiss
12:55
is lillian who
12:57
is sergei kaput toast daughter
13:01
she's thirty years younger than
13:03
sir a hoot and a former
13:05
miss ukraine i mean i don't
13:07
know whether we want make the point
13:10
that time normally the
13:12
sugar daddy arrangement works the other way round
13:14
san he , the money
13:16
where is he getting the money in this arrangements
13:20
and these matters these having raised haven't they
13:22
in they british parliament they
13:26
have quite a long time ago a
13:28
labour mp stephen king it raised
13:30
our stories about and who'd senate because
13:33
those so much on him back then and
13:35
he got knocked back by the
13:37
chairman of the conservative party that time
13:40
brandon louis in quite sort of
13:42
almost threatening terms brandon
13:44
roy said you want to be careful cause some
13:47
this , be libelous unit you might get
13:49
sued and by the way we all want anybody
13:52
looking at all the labour party's contacts
13:54
would you so you know he got what
13:56
you could kind to call kind to bullish response
13:58
from brandon is a hoot
14:00
has his party chairman must have had some
14:03
kind of role in civics appointment
14:05
and then after
14:07
they're who'd became say a hoot in
14:10
the early twenty twenty he
14:12
gave brandon louis ten thousand pounds
14:15
thank you very much when don't drink any connection
14:17
whatsoever between no news is just pumping
14:19
the the national the only connection is
14:22
very short space of time
14:26
i didn't mean anything that equals conspiracy theory
14:29
of course ah yes but i don't know why brenda
14:31
louis needed ten thousand pounds or what he did
14:33
with have some should ask
14:38
well i think i'm looking at them and is meant to be asking is that
14:40
point is an hour ago my list
14:43
read your book there and on current showing you will be
14:45
able to to that again in july
14:47
twenty twenty five to find
14:49
out what so ever did next we'll
14:51
have made into the house of lords we don't know
14:54

14:56
happier stories the platinum
14:59

bits of the mag is the ice constitutional
15:37
historian if you like now at maybe
15:40
seventy covers that were running at this week's magazines
15:42
but actually she has appeared on the front page of the
15:44
make a little bit more than that hear that
15:46
i'm to explain it but the queen has paid of
15:48
hundred seventy nine different covers
15:50
of private eye over the six
15:53
de anda beats years that we've been
15:55
in circulation or tell you that the two
15:57
people had about two people who have had a more covers
15:59

16:30
many covers tony blair has a pet who
16:33
are mighty for a survey
16:35
jeffrey surface one of many many
16:37
many reasons why five i should never put thirty
16:40
level discover as a result amazing
16:43
, so that's and well as very respectable third place
16:45
the queenie i'm looking through
16:47
the and listen to the supplement a the magazine some
16:49
of them are referencing stories to the south street
16:52
i don't have got almost no idea what no mean
16:54
different things but some
16:56
things but very
16:58
you know still very guess bledsoe very
17:00
relevant so conservative it about the first time
17:03
she was on the catholics i do like this on while amazingly
17:05
she was the first person ever to speak
17:07
a photo bubble so spate of me on
17:09
the of improv i it was v
17:11
rt sister disinfect very nice and sixty
17:14
two and a looks very very different you'll see
17:16
this in supplement with but i with the magazine this way it's
17:18
got a different ball said on a it's got a very very different
17:20
looks with but i have got that photo bubble
17:22
coming out the royal coach and eat
17:24
this is one that these a little bit of context because
17:27
the yeah the headline on his principles a nation
17:29
whites are and print cells then
17:31
aged thirteen which seems sort of of
17:33
just as unbelievable is that the queen's been on for over
17:36
seventy years have a the idea that that pencils
17:38
was ever a teenager has been rushed
17:40
to hospital for an emergency appendectomy
17:43
having be nice from dammit appendicitis wealth
17:46
at boarding school asset bubble is coming
17:48
out of the royal carried in all his palms and
17:50
i'm on and ceremony as he goes to i think piccadilly
17:52
circus is great ormond street games
17:54
and step on a is impeccable impression
17:56
that lovely that ring as if
17:58
you're looking for new yorker of zelda
18:00
the young people young queen now which is why doesn't
18:02
count as as as they will have a familiar with with
18:04
i mean so many appearances
18:06
as the i'm just wondering i know obviously
18:09
the
18:10
the attitude of the from or that generation
18:12
service never complained never explained as any
18:14
of them has prompted any complaints
18:17
ah rebukes blowback lot
18:19
of i'm guessing now lawsuits but
18:22
not for the palace now let's not smoking
18:24
is over the years on an ongoing thing
18:26
that still write up as seventy years
18:29
into a rain and into the twenty first century you still
18:31
get letters from readers complaining on
18:33
the most recently about our our coverage
18:35
of prince philip's destined funeral and
18:37
, as you people whose address and are outrageous
18:40
just as a sandwich in a way i
18:42
think because i'm prince and it was
18:44
such a kind of fall on connoisseur of the
18:46
of the tasteless joke himself i think we we
18:48
we probably have thought he have a better reception
18:50
with those than that the might get in certain
18:52
circumstances but this is not the dates to ponder
18:55
the circumstances of know in terms of stuff
18:57
in the palace nothing at all right
18:59
up until a couple years ago where there was one
19:01
item in the slumped and column which got
19:03
us an official rebuke from
19:06
not from the queen on on on post ah
19:08
if of the from from a spin docks
19:10
at the palace but the colossus mcmahon because
19:13
and post from the palace does arrive on very
19:15
very expensive for station i'm is still is
19:17
now my system since the officer or it's almost
19:19
like vellum parchment by the do the queen's speech office
19:22
but he also had his own and are not
19:24
unless i but postmark on it and that's a royal
19:26
postmark across the some new system
19:28
profits to see how many went to a about it appears
19:31
that any eat a post on to meet
19:33
our to to tilt of lucky because i'm kind of flunkies
19:35
i'm handler flunky hum stuff
19:37
over to me in a dead letter drop ins and james's park
19:40
that's not actually true flunky being
19:42
i'll roll correspondent friday listeners yes yeah
19:44
autopsy our top secret man inside
19:47
the palace exactly
19:48
that all women i should say inside how the settlement
19:50
facilities at a sitcom
19:53
ah yes i know time cause with the last until
19:55
you have this moment before you haven't even get of is is this
19:57
it is this the order to attend the palace am i going to get
20:00
added better at night with a was fortunately
20:02
just a wins which went in on the letter states but that
20:04
as far as i know is the the only
20:06
time that they have ever complained or ever
20:09
will embrace him to explain looking back you
20:11
can kind of guess which ones might have prompted
20:13
more complaints than
20:15
others so when
20:18
harry comforts queen in nazi route
20:20
they do the budget of the queen forming a nazi salute
20:23
or the other about size prince harry leading
20:25
ever and whispering just tell them you were
20:27
pissed that must have process even
20:29
thought of a counterpart suits to the couple
20:31
weapons are himself or the yeah that that the
20:33
nazi uniform that was his excuse to a fancy dress
20:35
party in , the middle
20:37
to system we have something to power as a prince
20:40
harry upset the harry potter that's artists
20:42
i think of how a prince harry had made it a person
20:44
who can transform to into the meantime to assist on
20:46
thinks he's getting up to that points are and
20:48
we did we didn't put prince area with other we put a
20:50
hitler on the cover cover say hi
20:53
thomas prince harry our tasteless joke
20:55
special about that wasn't my best to the queen
20:57
the messy feature on that one but i can have them
20:59
something i think is really so when you look back at
21:01
the yeah that at the tobacco be said for nearly
21:03
all of the queen's right is how
21:05
much he seated on the cover but had
21:08
little she's actually seated in signed in mean
21:10
there's always an endless sylvie krenz battles
21:12
and diane are and and thirty are all the other
21:14
members of other royal family and as family little
21:16
philosopher some paraphernalia around the royals
21:18
in the more minor roles and fit but
21:21
the queen herself is is quite source
21:23
of hard to parody she
21:25
got hot tap to the voice of under craig branded
21:27
with absolutely brilliant attempts at it for with
21:30
golden jubilee in two thousand and two where
21:32
she where he did this wonderful diary of the queen basically
21:35
members her family of edward an andrew coming into visit
21:37
her in a will also be some sort of must settle come
21:39
far has been an invasion
21:42
of invasion hassle to be delighted to see dogs and horses
21:44
which effectively which think he knows absolutely gatos
21:46
the queen and everything we know about
21:48
when about set but because she says so little
21:51
because she basically husband sixty husband say nothing but
21:53
have no comes off as not as if
21:55
it's quite so hard to get a voice but the the
21:57
winningest visually the affection
22:00
story i seek immediately recognize which is perfect
22:02
for the cover in that way unit eg doesn't mean no
22:04
question isn't it did not summer school police cafe
22:06
going to be long and guess but also she
22:09
does effectively is posed for photos
22:11
that's what you know she will turn up and she will obligingly
22:13
you know how the machine gun well
22:16
stuff is the army barracks so he can we can
22:18
put that on the cover off to the a diana power
22:20
armor interview with has a i didn't think a divorce
22:22
will be necessary or see will have
22:24
a that's what he saw me what my see see see some plunging
22:26
the handle or not i assume site
22:29
kind of am tnt exams are
22:31
just a nice are
22:33
we chat with chat with we taught in i think too much
22:36
at solving and is very busy endless he does the
22:38
set of genes that just absolutely perfect
22:40
for brought out the only other person whether this
22:42
this was wisdom was boris johnson
22:44
and his days as mayor of london managed to bludgeon synopsis
22:47
any sort of photo opportunity that have have
22:49
have a caption put on it but that's essentially
22:52
unite know what what what provides them with the
22:54
quincy lend themselves to photo bubbles and to
22:56
covers but we still unknown when
22:58
i don't know if anyone has ever quite quite quite
23:00
have to the boys you have to take it off into slot the
23:03
real flights of fancy rather
23:06
than do a straightforward you i mean you couldn't do so to
23:08
pay a bill letters about the queen for instance
23:10
or anything like that
23:12
edited a thing of the covers of the seven
23:14
to cover that you've run out of seventy nine that and featured
23:16
her about ten of them are from
23:18
the state have any apartment which is
23:20
just about the longer time as he's speaking at
23:22
any length or in public including
23:25
not very first off from nazi sixty four lot of
23:27
at that point the was made on on a mighty sixty
23:29
four when she read the first a speech
23:32
about how with as labour government of sight out of involvement
23:34
am i went with the i have a bubble at
23:36
a healthy well as i didn't write this crap
23:39
six percent of liquid down
23:41
but not level and i think which with with which which with
23:43
with a few of a few complaints of the time
23:45
but some the i am on a subset setting
23:47
the tone quite early on for prada as well coverage
23:50
of i absolutely do you
23:52
think it's still has the power of
23:54
prompts complaints
23:56
the know you and i don't see the left betas know to say
23:58
some like dress is amazing the sub
24:00
editor royle coverage
24:02
or any less mother's day due to get still
24:05
from same kind of outrage show some things
24:07
that state happened was a recent funky peace
24:09
with one of the papers royal
24:11
editors and very naughty the above
24:13
the same go out by far the i took a photo
24:16
off and put up on whole do that you
24:18
, rather than actually going on getting a source healthy
24:20
just for his fear one of our system cervantes
24:23
but the number of people who practice and the thing
24:25
that they were really really upset about those
24:27
that age old when quite a joke
24:29
as i mean thompson be the seventies but
24:32
that tradition or calling the queen when
24:34
does does in a sense of
24:36
dread exactly and people with really really irate
24:38
with particularly twitter users in
24:40
america to america it's magazine
24:42
used to disrespectful sam
24:44
to work to to to add to apply to a modestly
24:47
with it he was just like me a bit less businesses
24:49
in isis businesses won a trip
24:51
up with a a suit repeat
24:53
rid of the got so used to it we will write that new
24:55
people coming in went went went get who were talking
24:58
about mad when we talk about render about how
25:00
long has been ravaged subs it's frankly to
25:02
me seems the saxena because only started reading
25:04
the magazine what the late the really naughty so
25:07
it's just always do their part of it is entirely affectionate
25:09
his name is one of those kind of papalia make
25:11
the jump that you have brenda from bristol the nuclear
25:13
reactors has the are they the elections
25:16
a ton of i sort of fight comforting old lady named
25:18
so many a to eat them and solve
25:20
his to is naturally a brian amount
25:23
of a society form of these these these are lots
25:26
of prices though not nicknames that provide
25:28
made up itself these these were really for
25:30
identified i'm in the seventies as
25:32
as as ones that were floating i will be used in the palace
25:34
bought by courtiers themselves yeah
25:37
i'm in that would that with are plenty of others with never quite go on
25:39
in the same way so princess
25:41
margaret was apparently refer to their below stairs as
25:43
if on which is on a lovely
25:45
as out of sixers else is very much an event that's
25:48
our when princess diana's end up in
25:50
a in a nineteen eighty one she was for to is cheryl
25:53
which are like i'm never gonna real life which never
25:55
quite got on with and it's a when when
25:57
harry met and first it's guess it apparently called
26:00
the limited a much more up to date was caught him referring
26:02
to them within the palace as an as chandler
26:04
and monica because , sits on
26:07
a perfect perfect perfect
26:09
at that point especially with them
26:11
but notice average an avid so that that that that
26:13
that works is only a bit more of a descent
26:16
kind of closed source of the couples by that's
26:18
that's the one that everyone's caligula is
26:20
their favorites queen cover that
26:22
he has out of the selection i
26:24
really really like the trump royal
26:26
visit one where this is one of those examples
26:28
of a of her obligingly posing
26:31
for for things that can be revoked his brother thinks in
26:33
signing some sort of book of his his book i guess
26:35
and she's diktat my hat and then
26:37
and and looking very very regal but it was a week that
26:40
them it was an enormous fishy going online
26:42
soft on from when presidents of
26:44
is in britain and and and you've got the city
26:46
to signing mistaken hand in hand them to
26:48
think that one has to draw the line somewhere
26:50
sounded like i think it isn't enough
26:52
of this useful source of have a feeling it's probably
26:55
true them it's membership at this point in a rangy
26:57
privy to the line at meeting anyone smith sick
26:59
of missing since then several hours per
27:01
cent of was particularly some that was good
27:03
but a lot of things arm of the are
27:05
at a didn't actually make it to the cover they were fighter
27:07
bombers that paid appear inside and it was on a series
27:11
do remember off to princess diana died when they're
27:13
with these the these kind of efforts to modernize the monarchy
27:15
and magazine appear on of a bit more hip
27:17
and with it and then them most people's princess
27:20
doesn't work as a but the people's that he pulls queen
27:22
and that was a wonderful ones in that way that
27:24
that was she was so disgusting football with
27:27
with with people and saying only a cop like
27:29
it's the up from i'm not as a nice one
27:31
of her i'm behind the bar the and i we are
27:33
not one of the sky substance which is putting a point to
27:35
pay six hundred looking have gotten him
27:37

27:39
said i
27:43
, those as as as as as much what about
27:45
of her receiving a posey at a comma looks like
27:47
it's the i pad and she's to sex lucky one has
27:49
a death has others them
27:51
professionalism speaking my mind the city with as
27:54
an is an again that sort of
27:56
affectionate because they're parody what was absolutely
27:58
ridiculous exercising
