00:00Well I'm allowed to come to America on a trip like this, particularly in these circumstances.

00:03I mean I had planned to come originally to America and to be here for a few months

00:08and I made a decision, no I'm going to run for Clacton,

00:12but given the circumstances it was right that I came.

00:29Because this feels more exciting?

00:31No I'm just here for a couple of days, that's it, that's it, I'll be back at the weekend.
