00:00I think that is a wonderful thing because coming from, to be honest, coming from my home country,
00:07Trinidad and Tobago, the public services are piss poor compared to the UK, compared to London.
00:17But I know that it can be better. I think it works well, especially in South London.
00:25But I know that in North London, it's even more seamless. So I think it will be
00:31much better if more money is pumped into that.
00:35I think the NHS needs what we can give it. It's so underfunded right now.
00:40They're so understaffed. Everyone has to do so much overtime, it seems.
00:47Yeah, they're just not, there's so many strikes, but it's for a reason.
00:52As much as the strikes are annoying, that's the point, I guess, that we need to treat.
00:57Nobody wants to be in healthcare because they don't get paid very well.
01:01But it's so essential. So I think we just need more than the lockdown clapping.
01:08We need to actually put money into them.
01:10That's ideal because I feel like people need to get out a bit more.
01:14Even coming into the country, I had hoped that I would stay somewhere in the countryside,
01:22but I'm in London and I'm falling in love with London.
01:24But I definitely want to get out and visit further up north than what's not.
01:29So that would be, that's a wonderful thing.
01:31Yeah, my Northern relatives are very angry about this.
01:35We need to be better connected.
01:37It is so horrible and so transparent, I think,
01:41that basically the only good public transport is in London.
01:44I mean, we know why. Politicians, right?
01:47I mean, I would love more connectivity because there are a few high-speed trains already,
01:54but not most. I mean, most of the country is not well connected.
