00:00I think it's quite awful, the idea that you bet on something that you know the
00:05result. That is immoral, it is illegal and I can't believe people at the top of
00:12the Conservative Party are doing this and have allowed this to happen. This is
00:16corruption frankly and it needs to have a heavy hand from the top. Well we think
00:21there should be a Cabinet Office inquiry, I think the Gambling Commission will
00:25rightly look at this and I hope they come down heavy on those people who
00:29look like, I haven't seen the details, but they look like they've acted illegally
00:33and immorally.
