00:00 This lot who's in power now, I've got no time for them.
00:05 Especially the man who's just gone.
00:08 That is upsetting me.
00:10 And I will vote Labour, you know, because of what the Tories performed.
00:16 And do you know any of the candidates running on Thursday?
00:19 Like, are you aware of any of them?
00:20 So there's been a lot of talk about the U-Letters,
00:22 and I know a few candidates have spoken about that.
00:24 That's a good thing, really, because there's too many old cars on the road.
00:27 Yeah, yeah, because just make sure that wherever you buy a U-Letter is compliant.
00:30 Because a U-Letter is compliant means it's safe for everyone.
00:33 It's better for the environment, so yeah.
00:35 When quite a few people are not happy about the U-Letters coming through, you know,
00:39 I think that's really disgusting, really.
00:42 You know, you pay your taxes already to drive on the road, so why pay more?
00:47 Just have your car driving on the road.
00:50 It's disgusting.
00:52 They're only having a go at the ordinary person, you know.
00:56 They can't afford to drive.
00:58 Then they start driving illegally in the end.
01:01 Are you intending on voting on Thursday?
01:06 Yeah, but on behalf of everybody that voted for Boris Johnson as our MP and Prime Minister,
01:14 it's completely wrong that they've taken our votes away from us, and now we've got to vote again.
01:20 I think I'm very concerned generally, as everybody else is, about the cost of living.
01:25 And I think that's a national issue for everybody, wherever you are.
01:30 Two things you've got to do.
01:31 You've got to invest in the young and you've got to invest in the old.
01:34 Social care is a problem for older people.
01:37 Young people and their education and all that's going on is a big issue.
01:41 And what links them together is mental health as well.
01:44 Hillingdon Oswald is falling apart, you know.
01:49 It's disgusting.
01:51 Consider it's right beside Heathrow, you know.
01:55 There's two motorways, there's everything.
01:57 A big population, and it's falling apart, you know.
02:01 You're winding me up now.
02:03 I'm going to get a pint.
