I checked with the cabinet secretary and it turns out that in the seven years I have been prime minister we have had 164 audiences always the model of cordiality productivity and mutual respect so it is perhaps not unreasonable to expect an isolated hiccup what hiccup I was under the impression that her majesty never expressed her political views in public I don't that there was an unbreakable Code of Silence between Sovereign and first Minister if you're referring to the Sunday Times I've always advised my prime ministers against reading the newspapers I don't M they misunderstand misquote and Mis represent then everybody gets into a fluster but my press secretary does and he has working relationships with all of the editors and the editor in this case assured him that the sources were unimpeachable close to the Queen unprecedentedly close well I'm sure a clarification will soon be forthcoming in the meantime should we not make a start on the business of the week only I am mindful of the time this is the business ma the only business I think we have enough respect for one another personally to ask ourselves some some of the bigger questions Woman to Woman we are the same age after all really just six months between us oh and who is the senior I am now uncaring confrontational and socially divisive that's how these sources is so close to the queen described me prime minister that I lack compassion and that my government has done irretrievable damage to the country's social fabric my responsibility for the time I have in office is to put sentimentality to one side and look after these countries interests with the perspective of a cold balance sheet and while I greatly admire your sense of fairness and compassion for those less fortunate than us do you really let us not forget that of the two of us I am the one from a small Street in an irrelevant town with a father who could not bequeath me a title or a commonwealth but only grit good sense and determination and I don't want people's pity or charity or compassion nothing would insult me more my goal is to change this country from being dependent to self-reliant and I think in that I am succeeding I have had to learn many difficult lessons as Sovereign Britain's are learning to look after number one to get ahead and only then if they choose to look after their neighbor of those no one would remember the Good Samaritan if he only had good intentions you see he had money as well perhaps the hardest is that I am obliged to support my Prim ministers on any position they take even yours regarding sanctions against South Africa my question is given the lack of impact it has on your day-to-day political fortunes yet how important it is to me could you not have supported me just once my fellow Commonwealth leaders many of whom I consider to be friends now feel that I have betrayed them on an issue most important to them well they need only read the Sunday Times it will give them no doubt as to your position oh look our time is up how it flies you must be very much looking forward to the wedding tomorrow prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson yes we are they seem like a good match yes we think so my own son Mark recently announced that he would be getting married your favorite the Explorer not an explorer m'am that was just the once he's a businessman now in the Middle East mostly and South Africa of course your majesty [Music]
