00:00:00,126 --> 00:00:02,879
There's a general, kind of... In the media,

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:05,682
there's a lot of that kond of stuff people don't know about numbers,

3
00:00:05,682 --> 00:00:08,127
I'm a numbers guy, I'm a dweeb, all right? I apologise.

4
00:00:08,127 --> 00:00:10,062
I'm a bit of a nerd about these kind of things

5
00:00:10,062 --> 00:00:12,353
I get really pissed off when people give out about, like

6
00:00:12,353 --> 00:00:15,744
crime going up, when say, the numbers are definitely going down.

7
00:00:15,744 --> 00:00:17,609
And then if you go "The numbers are going down," they go,

8
00:00:17,609 --> 00:00:20,501
"but the fear of crime is rising."

9
00:00:20,501 --> 00:00:22,848
And you're going, "but so what!?" You know what I mean?

10
00:00:22,848 --> 00:00:24,706
Zombies are at an all-time low level,

11
00:00:24,706 --> 00:00:27,492
but the fear of zombies could be incredibly high.

12
00:00:27,492 --> 00:00:31,440
It doesn't mean we have to have government policies to deal with the fear of zombies,

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,020
It's ridiculous, for Christ's sake.

14
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:36,270
The NHS... There was a survey in the NHS about dentistry, where they found that

15
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,016
some people were removing their own teeth! You know...

16
00:00:38,032 --> 00:00:42,388
And they brought on some senior dentists onto Sky News, and gave out to him, and said

17
00:00:42,403 --> 00:00:46,334
"This is terrible, People are removing their own teeth!" And this guy stood there and went

18
00:00:46,334 --> 00:00:48,868
"Well, obviously systems should be put in place to deal with it."

19
00:00:48,868 --> 00:00:53,831
Which is stupid! He should be going "Well, these people are clearly morons of the highest line"

20
00:00:53,831 --> 00:00:54,851
[Laughter]

21
00:00:54,851 --> 00:00:57,757
"Who removes their own teeth, for Christ's sake?

22
00:00:57,757 --> 00:01:01,858
I'm a dentist, I don't remove my own teeth, y'know what I mean?"

23
00:01:01,858 --> 00:01:05,482
But there's kind of a notion that everyones opinion is equally valid. My arse!

24
00:01:05,482 --> 00:01:10,124
Bloke who's a professor of dentistry for 40 years does not have a debate with some idiot

25
00:01:10,124 --> 00:01:14,118
who removes his teeth with string and a door. Alright? It's nonsense.

26
00:01:14,118 --> 00:01:19,273
And it happens all the time with medical stuff on the television. They'll have a doctor on

27
00:01:19,273 --> 00:01:21,316
and they'll talk to the doctor, and they're all "doctor this, and doctor that" and

28
00:01:21,316 --> 00:01:22,988
"what happened there" and "doctor, isn't it awful?" Right?

29
00:01:22,988 --> 00:01:27,168
And then the doctor will be talking about something, with all the benefits of research and medical evidence.

30
00:01:27,168 --> 00:01:32,926
And they'll turn away from the doctor, in the name of "ballance", and turn to some

31
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:39,196
quak, witch doctor, homeopath horse shit peddler on the other side of the studio.

32
00:01:39,196 --> 00:01:40,360
[Laughter]
