00:38:57.640so again I want Nigel to be safe so why is he turning down state-funded security even if it
00:39:06.140was inadequate as far as he was concerned it's better than nothing isn't it can't that just
00:39:10.320complement your privately funded security efforts they're going to give you a bodyguard a car and a
00:39:18.900trained driver why would you turn it down there may be a reason though having said that there
00:39:25.200may be a legit reason if he's got all his own security they might not work together well it
00:39:29.320might not be easy or straightforward to for them to complement each other and work hand in hand or
00:39:34.160there might be some I don't know I really don't there might be some sort of law where
00:39:37.680you can't have both or something I've got no idea but on the first blush it seems odd that
00:39:42.540Nigel would turn it down no why would you why would you turn it down okay the blurb continues
00:39:49.160saying the offer would have given Nigel Farage a similar level of security to that provided
00:39:53.740for Conservative leader Olukemi Badenok, the Nigerian woman,
00:39:56.880and several higher-profile cabinet ministers.
00:40:03.520Disclosure raises questions over Zia Yusuf's claim that, quote,
00:40:08.140the state is providing no protection whatsoever, quote,
00:40:12.440for reforms MPs following the death of veteran politician Anne Whittacombe.
00:40:16.360Faraj has also previously claimed that he needed a £5 million gift
00:40:19.960from crypto billionaire Christopher Harbourn
00:40:21.880to pay for his own security as quote the most targeted politician in britain quote and he may
00:40:27.720well be he may well be probably is i would have thought if not the most one of the most right
00:40:32.660that's just seems undeniable uh reform said it will provide its mps with 24 hours security in
00:40:39.980wake of widdekombe death all right relatively small data point in the whole story but
00:40:46.360unless there's a legit reason it just seems a bit odd that nigel would turn down a bodyguard a car
00:40:53.780and a trained driver you're genuinely worried for your safety which i'm sure he is i'm not saying0.93
00:41:00.700he's not why would you turn down any assistance or help on that front maybe there's a reason
00:41:07.140i don't know all right the mirror pure slop let's not even listen the mirror of the sun
00:41:12.200Okay, the Financial Times, their top stories about the Straits of Hormuz and, well, that's the story I mentioned earlier, that various, or this one's about Dubai, one of the Emirates, of the two actually big and powerful and super rich Emirates, looking about shipping their, making pipelines to get their oil and gas and various things.
00:41:42.200out through sort of the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula, through Oman,
00:41:45.960bypassing the Straits of Hormuz entirely.
