A tape of this morning's focus group.

This is Mary, she is a focus group legend, right?

Mary? Mary she's called.

Everything that she's said in the last 12 months

Arts For Hearts And Minds?

She's really core middle England, is she?

Yeah absolutely, I can get... Precis the focus group.

It's a very good way to work,

I like this, just cut out all the extraneous stuff, you know,

just the facts, man, you know so just the protein, Atkins government.

OK, I'll get her in.

All right, well listen erm, just to push on...

I was thinking, that if I am

representative of the public at large,
