Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Brady a UK correspondents with us now evening.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Inda, Hey, Hea, they're great to speak to you all, man.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Are you guys happy to see the back of Julian Losange?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I think you can probably hear champagne corks popping everywhere
in London, from the Judiciary to the Metropolitan Police, to
Downing Street to the Ecuadorian embassy. It's been a long
time coming. He's a free man and he is out
of the UK already. I'm hearing he's left on a
flight from Stansted Airport, so he is gone. So sixty
two months he was behind bars, and basically what the

(00:31):
Americans are going to do when he lands in Saipan,
which is kind of the nearest American controlled territory to Australia.
That's why they've gone over that way to the Pacific,
he'll be sentenced to precisely sixty two months in prison,
which he has already served, and then he can head
on to Australia. But behind him in the UK he
leaves quite quite a mountain of cost. Really, I think,

(00:53):
looking at it from a British taxpayer's point of view,
the policing operation outside that Ecuadorian embassy every day spanned
two touching forty million ENZ dollars, so it has been
a costly stay in the UK for the British taxpayer.
I'm not sure to him, and good luck to him,
but I'm not sure many people here will weep his departure.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, too right. How's Princess end doing good?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
We're told she's in good spirits. So an accident with
a horse. We don't know whether the horse just kind
of booked its head while she was patting it, or
whether a horse is run into her. Very little more
detail on us, but she was walking and she's been
in some sort of collision with a horse. Now she
absolutely loves horses. We're told she'd concussion and very light

(01:34):
injuries and then was rushed off to the hospital in Bristol,
which where she still is now. A couple of impacts
on the royal diary. She was meant to be heading
to Canada next week for a state visit that's obviously
gonna either be canceled or curtailed. And then there was
meant to be a dinner this week, a state banquet
with the Emperor of Japan, who is visiting. She won't
be attending that and Charles is sending her all his

(01:57):
fondness and love. That was what he put in the state.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
And so what is she has? She spent now one
or two nights in hospital.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
One last night would have been her second night, so
that's two full nights in hospital. I think she'll be
out Friday. My reading of it is she'll be out
by Friday. Look, I've met her a few times over
the years. She is, trust me, a no nonsense woman.
She gets the job done. And I think she's been
the quiet hero of the Windsor Households and the House
of Windsor the last couple of years, because obviously Charles

(02:28):
has been ill, case is ill, the whole Andrew situation
where he can't be seen in public. And Anne has
kept going, kept working. And if you look every year
who does the most work, it's always Anne. The most attendance,
is the most public appearances, the most charitable work year
on year for fifty odd years, it's always been Anne. Yea.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
So the Scots apparently were the best ones. The best
behave will they?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah? At the Euro So Germany still celebrating this wonderful
festival of soccer that they have Euro twenty twenty four
the Scots at so the team on the pit field
couldn't click, they weren't good enough, but they qualified and
that's a great achievement. And I'm very envious of them
as an Ireland fan because we didn't manage that. But
the praise is coming from on high from the Germans

(03:15):
for the Scottish fans and their behavior. Over the last
couple of weeks. Would you believe it, two hundred thousand
Scots went to Germany on holidays for a fortnight. That's
four percent of the entire Scottish population upsticks and got
to Germany. And I was with my daughter at Heather
Airport a few weeks ago we were flying to Ireland

(03:36):
and the airport was just a wash with tartan kilt's,
you name it, bagpipes all heading off to Germany. Two
hundred thousand Scottish men and women went to Germany and
the head of the German police praising them for their color,
their charisma and the fun they brought to the festival.
So the tournament continues, but they will miss the Scots

(03:57):
because there's nothing like a man in the skirt.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Absolutely love it. I'd love it and I'm not gonna lie.
Thank you so much into Brady UK Correspondence.
