That's the date they gave me. You can't change select committee dates.
So how did Liam get his changed to go to the bloody Test Match?
It's like sitting on a tea crate having chicken shit sprayed over me.
I mean, why do we want to close down schools for kids with special needs?
It's the one thing that I really do not want to do,
and yet, bizarrely, I'm the person intimately involved in doing it.
Robyn, go and see IT about the e-mail problem, please. That'd be great.
So now Terri's back, I just get all the dull stuff, is that right?
Pretty much, yes.
Oh, right, well, of course.
Well, I'll see you later.
Glenn, the Special Needs Bill, with your...
particular interest, I can't do this.
You know my views - inclusion is an illusion, it doesn't work.
But you don't mind if I go ahead with it? Of course not.
Look...you're only following orders.
Oh, thanks. So you won't make me feel bad except by comparing me to a concentration camp guard?
No, right, yeah.
Tomorrow, Select Committee, that's Ballentine, isn't it?
Who wants to go and watch Bollock-Vision? What?
Mr Malcolm Tucker turning it all the way up to 11 in the lobby.
The biggest problem we've got is guys like you blabbing their mouth off.
Poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place -
four ministers in one building.
It's his dream - a one-stop bollock shop.
We're gonna be getting some of that in about an hour.
You understand me? I don't know what's worse - watching him slowly rumble towards you
like prostate cancer or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke.
Oh. How's your sister coping?
So, this new word "citizenship" - did the PM actually outline what it entails?
I think he was making the reshuffle up as he went along and I think we were very lucky
that citizenship was the first word that sprang to mind.
We could be the Department for Social Affairs and Woodland Folk.
Problem is though, Hugh, that there's been a bit of a rush.
With you not in place, every department trying to unload all the stuff they didn't want.
It's been like someone driving down Whitehall shouting, "Bring out your shit!"
