and it's as if you know look what i did

6:36

i saved the whole country but

6:39

he's he's lying again he's grabbing

6:42

somebody else's credit again

6:44

is there a positive side to him at all

6:46

like maybe has he handled something well

6:48

do you think even if you've not agreed

6:50

with

6:51

say

6:52

i don't see anything positive in him but

6:53

i can understand how he's

6:56

he's quite manipulative he's good at

6:58

manipulating people yeah is that key but

7:01

that that i wouldn't say that as a good

7:02

character trait myself yeah i don't

7:05

think a manipulative world leader yeah

7:07

yeah

7:08

yeah he's he's he's he's a sociopath

possibly but i think you've got to

you can't let

7:26

being a being a prime minister i think

7:27

that you can't be egocentric all the

7:29

time i mean surely the idea is that you

7:31

uh that you're there to serve the

7:32

country is there something which you

7:33

could say that he's done handled quite

7:35

well or

7:36

is there certain things that you think

7:38

he's actually quite good as a leader

7:40

unfortunately i didn't want brexit so

7:42

you know he probably delivered brexit

7:43

but i didn't want to anyway

7:45

so but maybe you think he did it quite

7:47

well if you would have gone

7:49

don't actually because he ended up lying

7:50

about that as well you know but at least

7:52

he delivered
