00:04I don't think that's true actually I mean the Home Secretary didn't attend the concert as far as I'm aware

00:31But you know he's paying for his tickets and he doesn't care about that because he thinks it's important.

00:35So please don't do that. But he genuinely does think it's important when he is paying for it. Who else went apart from me, from Sky?
