Immigration minister being mocked for his lack of knowledge about football

  • 7 months ago
Absolute CAR CRASH interview with immigration minister Tomlinson (more of it in a bit), ends with this perfect gem: Burley having established he hadn't watched the ITV drama on #PostOfficeScandal asks him what he does watch.

00:00 What box sets do you watch?
00:01 OK, I watch very little, is the honest and straightforward answer.
00:05 If you ask my family, they'll say I'm a little bit focused
00:07 on what I'm doing and probably don't have enough time
00:09 to watch box sets.
00:10 And I'm not sure I could even tell you the last box set that I watched.
00:13 But I do enjoy watching sport.
00:15 And if you want to ask me about cricket or sport, then please do.
00:17 Who's your football team?
00:19 My foot... I don't really have a football team.
00:21 So you're not a sports fan, really? I'm a cricket fan.
00:23 I love sport and I enjoy watching sport.
00:25 But it'd be wrong to tell you that I have a football team.
00:28 I've been to Bournemouth, I've been to various other grounds,
00:32 but I don't have a specific football team.
00:34 OK, it's good to see. Wimbledon Town Football Club.
00:36 OK. There we go. Wimbledon Town.
00:38 OK, what was their last result?
00:40 I couldn't tell you that.
00:41 The last result that I was there was a very exciting...
00:43 Lots of goals were scored and it was a 1-1 draw.
00:46 That's not lots of goals! Well, it was.
00:49 It's good to see you. Thank you so much.
