First, whatever's gone wrong with the UK, it's not the Conservatives' fault.
No, it's Liberals.
The last 13 years of Conservatism? You imagined that.
18 years of Thatcherism? You imagined that too.
UK media dominated by Conservatives? Meh.
Everything is the fault of LIBERALS.

Countless polarising headlines in the Express and Mail?
Didn't happen.
Countless polarising statements by Conservative hard-righters?
Nope.
Immigration, borders, Brexit? Liberal obsessions.

Then he launches into Google. Google is trying to do what? Build the "Star Trek Computer" -- a computer that can answer your questions (joke: sometimes before you ask them)
